Recursive fractals ilustrate this phenomena. An infinity itself, making zoom into one tiny part of itself, it arrives to the same whole Infinity, itself: Infinities Inside Infinities -

Artem's ego spills out all over the interview. A higher conscious interaction could have been conducted. Frank Yang is very advanced. He deserves respect while it's also true to say there are other facets to the game. -

The intro quote is a statement on the nature of Solipsism... -
A meet up would be fun. Remember Leo attended Peter Ralston's workshops and eventually interviewed him 1-on-1. Ralston rarely gives interviews, so even noob Leo was that good ahahahha A meet up would be like a crossover: batman meets superman

@Inliytened1 Just realized that Leo actually did many years of meditation and retreats. I just remebered that

Consciousness becoming Infinite Strange Loops Divinity, Sacredness, Holy God Infinity Infinity in Infinity ... Yes! Totally agree I disagree you can lie within your worldview and you can be authentic to your worldview and still be lying. Because it assumes that I know more than you. That's still arrogance in the spectrum. The most humble teachers or the true no self teachers say that they aren't teachers themselves and they have no desire to teach anything nor to convert anyone to any point of view, Papaji or U.G. Krishnamurthy style. So if we are gonna be peaky with the arrogance argument, the dynamic teacher student is arrogant, it's not based in oneness. That's the insight I was pointing you towards but I decided to break it down as you didn't contemplate it. Yes, I agree Ramana was quite legit, but still had blindspots, like in body self love. He abided in transhuman consciousness more time, understandable choice. The same did Sri Anandamayi Ma that said she wouldn't eat anymore that whatever happened to her so let it be but she wouldn't will to survive anymore, and then people took care of her and fed her everyday like a baby to keep her alive. No one is perfect, only God is, the form is irrelevant in the end. Whatever, the Avatar is just a pointer, all of the teachers will be LONG forgotten once profound consciousness happens. Everytime I trip I throw everything into the trash, I say all those are figments of my own mind. This gives me peace, now the real work happens. Otherwise they infect the purity and sovereignity of my Mind and there's something astonishingly beautiful of leaving the whole gravitational pull of human spirituality and mysticism. Consciousness, Mind, Reality, Awake, Freedom what do you wanna do then? It's hard to even say

Yes I my experiences correlate with that also I'm talking about contraction and expansion in a very existential way, for example in the mind contraction is concentration and expansion is relaxation. Are psychedelics more of a focused mind state or a relaxed soft mind state? Other lenses can be as useful or even more for you, given your experiences. I'm sahring my own here and how I make sense of Psychedelics inside my Mind. Yes one leads to the other. Have you experienced other methodologies for realeasing energetic blockages? Which ones? And how do those contrasts with your psychedelic experiences? I'm curious to know. Maybe psychedelics are more prone to contract some facets of reality and expand others. Mind definitely expands although brain sensation may seem more contracted. In that case, I'll work on techniques that allow me to counter act the imbalances that each chemical create in my body
-
But have you noticed how the blokcages and contractions are usually released in Psychedelics? By more contraction! By a such an intense contraction of energy that it breaks apart. If you practice sport you may understand. For example you have a tight neck and shoulders, you go to the gym and train and contract your shoulders till muscular failure. Next morning your neck feels relaxed af. Contrast that with getting a long soothing oil massage. Next morning you also wake up relaxed af. Psychedelics work more on the contraction side and that's how they cause breakthroughs and peaks, after that your mind and consciousness expands big and wide and abides that new state/space. Do nothing meditations open the space wide and open, till the breakthrough precipitates. It's the difference between burning and melting, regarding energetic blockages. That's why I recommended Kundalini in my message above. My point was more on the overstimulation of brain receptors, you can feel it, how they are open and are just binding non stop, like a river that broke all gates and is overflowing. With letting go techniques you can surf much better such spaces without being overstimulated. It's like a meta ability of consciousness to free itself out and flow in all directions in a stable and beautiful way. That's something I'm working on and has been reducing the overstimulating component of my trips.

I've been contemplating on the issue lately and its taking more relevance with time. I have found that practices like do nothing meditation, zazen or expansive style meditations (like Michael Thaft) are great to balance the stimulating effects of psychedelics. Psychedelics work more on the contraction side of the coin than on expansion, so having a good grasp of the letting go techniques can actually enhance psychedelic trips a lot (as well as kundalini practices, but that's another topic). The ability to unhook your mind, attention and consciousness from sensations and phenomena becomes very handy to reduce the overstimulation effects of psychedelics, particularly at higher doses. This means that you can trip deeper and more stable without feeling exhausted but this requires consciousness skills and a certain degree of mastery in navigating different states.

It's the opposite of bullshido. Literally his whole intention was to make a non bullshit martial art. Here is the introduction you find about his martial art system. Have you read at least his simpler works: Zen body being? Only an extremely physically gifted individual could have wrote it, life transforming for any sportsman. I also tried to read the book that sets the foundation on his Martial Art: Cheng hsin tui shou. But such book without training with him is useless so I gave up. Well you can make your research and find it out. If you care about Truth anyway

After a 5min search in google this is what I found. Check it yourself lazy ass https://chenghsin.com/peter-ralston-1978-world-tournament-pictures/

That could happen but it's rare in the sense that someone will be doing its work to actually deceive you. Writing false books about enlightenment and false techniques and so on. What usually happens is that they are deceiving themselves and they are authentic in their self deception and imaginary worldview. That's the whole dilemma for the newbie and up to some extent for the intermediate. Those can be red flags. Or they can be the truth, if it's actually the case. How would you know? This point on arrogance for me is childish honestly, don't know why such a fixation on it. Most teachers are arrogant to begin with, the position of being a teacher in itself is an arrogance, do you see that? You can't even count on yourself, let alone Ramana Self deception is huge, till this realization doesn't sink in to the full depth of: I trick myself You haven't even began. The self-Initiation That's why trusting whole schools or religions is foolish and giving away your authority. You should learn, contemplate and practice many different perspectives, but if you are gonna be mistaken in this judgment, it's always better to be on the side of they don't know shit and I don't know shit either than to trust other people or yourself. Basic epistemology at game. In the end I am my ultimate Teacher. That's what good teachers actually teach, they awaken your own inner guru, inner consciousness, My own Godhood. Mind is Awake is Understanding

In short, your consciousness is too trapped inside your head, body and stomach to comprehend such question. If you free your consciousness from the cage of your body mind your consciousness becomes universal ♻️ and closes itself in a strange loop to the body and mind again. -

Depends on your state of consciousness. If you are in a human state of consciousness there is a feeling of separation between you and me. If you are in transhuman states of consciousness there may be a feeling of oneness through out all of existence. You feel interconnected with all things and beings as much as you do with your own body. When interacting with other people is like your little foot toe is moving and as if you can't controle it like your heart beat, but it's still your self as you can feel it so. You see how the universal waves of energy and consciousness navigate through all your sensory experiences as well as your body and other people and then close the strange loop again into your own experience. Nevertheless you feel it or not or are conscious of it or not, ultimately you only have your experience, that's all what your life is, your experience and you can't escape that, never. If you are human then there are other humans, if you are existence being a human, then your own nature is all encompasing and holds all others. I am a figment and a construction of your own mind. -

@UnbornTao It all depends on where you're at. In this regard, Mastering the core teachings of the Buddha by Daniel Ingram, makes many great points on teachers, it really opened my mind. It explains the issue with a cone like structure. Some teachers are good for newbies, some for intermediate, others for advanced. Some teachers are advanced but can't connect with the concerns of the newbies or intermediates, and the intermediate teachers may not have the tools to teach the more advanced stuff. An advanced master that is able to teach to the whole cone of seekers is extremely rare. Were you are inside the cone also influences your judgment regarding this whole process. Many teachers that I considered great have fallen out of grace because I have outawoken them, they were instrumental at that point of my path so while they are authentic, they are not helpful anymore. Some titans still hold obviously, till they don't anymore, this is the nature of the path. Hopefully this little model from the book (I recommend to read the full chapter) may give you clarity into the topic of teachers and teaching, in many contexts as well as for enlightenment work.

Consciousness does not depend on anything and not even in itself as that would create the first duality. Consciousness is intelligence and therefore it organizes itself in intelligent energetic structures, to give some examples holons, self-references, strange loops and fractals — but is not limited to them. Consciousness is also infinitely trascendental and infinitely immanent. This may clear some doubts. Hold frameworks lightly, the map is not the territory and it's always very contingent on the nature of the particular dream you find yourself in. Contradictions and paradoxes are essential in the path and constitute the essence of Strange Loops. Such meta structures exhibite an exquite, elegant and almost perfect essence where polarities reunite and fragment, a cosmis dance you may say. Contraction and expansion is essential to the functionings of consciousness and Mind, you may say consciousness is like a chewing gum and different techniques allow you to probe inside infinity. Like the different ways of cutting a watermelon. Yes, you could put it that way. Practically speaking Reality is a set of limits and interdefinitions of polar opposites, meaning that Unity divides itself or limits itself or imagines itself into fragments in it's creative unfolding. Without changing the fact of its ever present oneness or solispsism, just the interplay of unity and division. Regarding self-reference: it does not exist in pure unity, but all division is in essence self-reference if you think about it, again this connects nicely with dichotomies and interdefinitions. No it cannot be. It can divide itself and therefore not be in unity but it cannot lose its Oneness or existential beingness. The One becomes many but does not lose its oneness. Dreams can be incredibly self-locking in a tessellation manner but Consciousness always holds, experience always holds and so does Infinity and God. To awaken beyond intelligence into the nature of Infinity will answer all your questions in a way I cannot satisfy. Go to the Goose that lays the Golden Eggs. I enjoyed tackling such a complex question although reduce your jargon for the future. Simplicity and straightforwardness is a great virtue for the mind.
