Trees also have different levels of consciousness: The Bodhi tree: The Banyan tree: Cypress: Jerusalem pine: Pinecone: And my personal favourite, The Field Elm:

Why would you keep using if you are having bad side effects?

That's why it is so addictive, because it is not at all in the begining.

Here is some of the scientific results you will find on the book. It is a very serious book that won the Transmission Prize for the Communication of Ideas 2014 on Popular Medicine, British Medical Association awards. Making it both scientifically accurate and easy to read. When I read this I couldn't believe my eyes. Check the whole book to get the big picture.

Such claims are born from ignorance and heresay. They haven't done any deep research on the topic nor they have any direct experience on it. I'll recommend them to read: Drugs without the hot air: Making sense of legal and illegal drugs by David Nutt If they don't read it they weren't interested in truth to begin with. If they read it, all the moral and biased ideas about drugs will be seen as anti scientific. In an era where science is so worshiped is crazy to find that science itself is silenced when the results do not confirm our social compass of right and wrong. This was one of the crudest realization of science I had. Scientific truths don't matter when talking about drugs because they are wrong and bad.

It is useless to expect peace in the world. Try to be only with Him. Perform all service as duty. The world is not a place of happiness. Take shelter only at the feet of God for peace. ~ Sri Anandamayi Ma

If man so wills, he can get rid of the veil of ignorance in his lifetime and realize God. The desire to know God is the natural desire of a Jiva. A human being does not want to remain ignorant as in reality he is the embodiment of Knowledge, of Peace. You do not relish falsehood, you crave for truth - since you are in fact Truth in essence. Tread the path leading to God, His grace is pouring forth perpetually. The reason why we are not aware of it, is that you are holding your vessel upside down and so His grace continually flows away. Keep your vessel right side up and it will fill to overflowing.

@Yimpa beautiful. Happy to hear that. I know how it feels, the clash and then opening up in vulnerability and then filling that space with love and acceptance. It's very intimate

For one second I thought it was another kind of trip

In a way yes In another your own controlling and intelligence is part of the symphony of infinite intelligence and cannot be distinguished from it As everything if we get too deep we encounter paradoxes as it must be so. Don't resist resistance, let go of let go, and so on

This came to me today: Maturity is proper action in every circumstance of life Maturity is also proper reaction to every circumstance in life

It is a pack A knife can prepare you dinner or cut your finger The invention of the knife is great However, don't fault the knife for your failure to apply your own intelligence while using it.

I agree so much with this phrasing I've been lately purifying myself at deep levels Everything that is not Godly is sickness in the body mind Everything that does not aid in the realization of God is sickness Or you are on the path of Immortality or you are on the path of sickness and death God is the death of death God is all encompasing utterly one as many and many as one Oh Divine God, Blessed be thy which is Absolutely Infinity

People from Actualized.org will become the new generation of mystics and high conscious entities. Maybe an Awakened one also If you don't see the domino effect the work of Leo Gura will make on human spirituality over the time, you lack visionary awareness. This is in fact a great ecosystem that I'm sure will bring up many mystics and has already done so. I am prove of that, the levels of Awakening and consciousness that I'm reaching and abiding in are mainly thanks to Leo's work and this Actualized.org forum. I hope it keeps benefiting human beings and that all who search Truth and hear the calling of the divine may find this oasis of consciousness in the midst of the world

This catapulted me into deep samadhi

@Razard86 That's a fair point. My commentary was certainly not specific to this thread but certainly inclusive of it. When I talk to you I sometimes get the feeling that while you are very awake, you sometimes miss parts of the puzzle that are obvious to me. It seems now that it is not that you miss them but that you don't give them as much importance as I may do, which is a fair point. Despite this, I agree mostly with what you say but if I had to take your stance on many things I wouldn't be writting on the forum or doing many things besides just self abiding in my own Awake luminosity. What is true though is that not everyone is at the same stage of Awakening. I've always researched the most enlightened and awakened people and contrasted everything carefully with my direct experience and Awakenings. That's why I can discuss about almost all teachers and gurus that people mention, with both theoretical understanding and practical experience of their message. This may be the reason why I am decisive when I talk about a master's state of realization and so I act accordingly. While you can certainly go wrong in guru obsession that leads nowhere you can certainly go wrong in dismissing valuable help in your path and ending up reinventing the wheel or worse even, not arriving anywhere. How many doctors would there be without universities? A few surely, but not many. Knowing which doctor is good and which doctor is bad and how good or bad he is; is defintely a valuable skill if you want to become a full time medicine practicioner. After a point, you are expected to be a doctor yourself and live from the pension of your past work indeed, yet you will still consult here and there with your peers and you are in no way done in your understanding of medicine.

This documentary is great. Should be posted in the Geography challenge. What a wild country

You can be gone yet thoughts still appear in the 360 sky of Awareness, as birds chirp, so do thoughts appear Thoughts exist but there is no thinker, because thinker is another thought Yet you keep talking about state changes, not about a stage perpetual shift. What is the biggest obstacle to a stage shift in this context? Control Hence why I started the thread

Maybe I could help you understand it This is how I phrase it to myself: True trascendentalist have discovered Masculine God or pure consciousness, pure abstraction, the beyond of the beyond, God-Head But haven't recognised Femenine God or Maya, the infinite universal shapeshifter, all substance and all qualia. All the colors and shapes in your computer right now are the "content" or phenomena being displayed on the trascendental groundless ground of the screen. When you watch a video of the ocean the screen doesn't get wet nor it heats when displaying fire. This is the position that so called enlightened people may take and which may be causing you confusion. In the ultimate sense, trascendental consciousness and phenomena merge in a sexual dance of union and eternal rejoice, this is liberation. To see the absolute in the relative and the relative in the absolute both codependently creating each other as one whole flawless cosmic harmony.

I think that a desire to awaken is present even when you are one in beingness. This doesn't compute with many spiritual people and think that wanting to Awaken more comes from ego Well, there is a point after wich you stop searching, but that doesn't mean you stop Awakening You stop searching because you recognise that it is everpresent From this everpresent context and nature search happens by itself on its own accord and law, like clouds and rain happen in the sky

Theoretically yes, but not practically. Or do you live your life according to that standard 24/7? No you don't

This semengly inocent question is in truth very complexed and very nuanced. I could talk for hours about this. But note that this is esential to consider in your inquiry about your initial question. Hope it helped you in your contemplation. I really made it with a lot of effort and work. I'm gonna have dinner now lol

6min read Not only mammals. I find that birds make the biggest consciousness jump when leaving with a human. I have to say that after taking care of a Cotorra Argentina birds are capable of high levels of intelligence and consciousness when living for long periods of time. Take into account they usually live up to 25 years. She is called Mint: Particularly Peacocks: Elephants are also one of the most conscious animals In water dolphins are the highest. Not all animals have the same consciousness. The above can recognise themselves in a mirror. Not all birds are equally conscious. Not all mammals are equally conscious either. Even funghi can become more conscious, psychedelic mushrooms are the king and even in this domain according to the species there are different degrees of consciousness. This is all well documented and I myself have verified in first hand experience. Even plants can become more conscious. Specially the lotus flower: The rose: And my favourite, the Orchid. I have one in my bedroom called Blanca (White in Spanish). Here is the specie: This is a pic of me happy because after months a new stem is being born Even physical objects can become more conscious. Specially jewelry, as the Atlantis ring I wear and a movement powered watch. This has been a deep area of research of mine. Very nerdy but is something I like, jewelry that makes me more conscious. Maybe I'll do something of that in the future. Continuing with the topic: Images can also be infused with consciousness. Like paintings in temples and churches featuring mystics and saints. Reliques are also special in this regard, this explains the phenomena that permeats all religions regarding relics as objects of veneration and adorations for centuries. Even christianity does this with the Sacramental bread and the holy blood wine, invoking God in an object so hard that then the object becomes God itself. Deities in hinduism go through insane multi year rituals to infuse consciousness and shakti (energy) into the Deity:
