We can only perceive echoes from a distant mountain as we struggle to grasp the true essence of what he is endeavoring to communicate. We simply have no idea what he is talking about, that's the truth.

Definetely but with the right cognition in place.

God's true Being cannot be described, for when speaking of 'being' there is the opposite of 'non-being'. When trying to express Him by language, He becomes imperfect. All the same, in order to use words, He is spoken of sadhana Sat-Chit-Ananda (Being- Consciousness- Bliss). Because He Is, there is Being, and because He is Knowledge Itself, there is Consciousness, and to become conscious of that Being is indeed Bliss - that is why He is called Sat-Chit-Ananda - but on Reality He is beyond Bliss and non-bliss - MA. He is the Fountain of joy - Joy and Joy alone is His Being. A state exists in which there is only Bliss, Beatitude, Supreme Felicity. At your level, joy has its opposite; you speak of the joys of heaven and the torments of hell. But where there is Eternal Bliss - Bliss in its own right cannot be expressed. It is entirely beyond such words as "what is or what is not?" To speak means to float on the surface. What language can express that which is neither floating nor diving deep? ~ Words of Anandamayi Ma

@Giulio Bevilacqua You are so kind in the psychedelic subforum in comparison with the spirituality subforum I never intended to do so. However, it seems that LSD puts me in this yogic state. I really get visions about Babaji and some of Lahiri Mahasaya, I know how it sounds but I'm equally surprised by this phenomena. I close my eyes and all I see is babaji's faces in a perfect yogic universe where everything is in energetic alignment dancing in colourful light threads. LSD seems to connect me to the Christ consciousness kind of stuff. I'm not really into any of that but if you keep having those experiences your beliefs and understanding start to change. So I become what feels as a a yogic state of consciousness which visually appears as Babaji. I am Babaji, the perfect yogi. So I just find myself into this profound yogic state of consciousness and then from that state of consciousness what needs to happen, just happens. A bit like now, from the state of consciousness that I am what needs to happen just happens. I would say most of the time kundalini always feels too much. So it's a concern that you have while having it "sober" also, but definetely also while tripping. I remember that thoughts crossed my mind about how people "messed up" their kundalini and how that destroyed their whole life and they had energetic imbalances and how psychedelics could fuck the energetic system of the body and bla, bla, bla. However, when I connected to what was really happening in the moment and not my thoughts about that moment I only felt this primal radical healing energy. I mean you can literally feel it. This energy is good it wants to heal you so that you can become more conscious, it's the divine femenine energy of creation withing your body that is being stimulated by the divine masculine consciousness. This is not like book read definition I'm explaining it how it felt for me, in my experience. In that moment, this energy felt femenine, chaotic, wild, free, healing, nurturing and loving, it felt very tangible and very real, solid real. Not like when you are in your mind or consciousness and everything is more ethereal, no no, this energy was as physical as it gets, as primal and from the depths of the human psyche as it gets. Beyond the animal pain of releasing traumas and blockages, the overwhelming experience and overstimulation there was this feeling of everything is fine, I'm healing you and I love you. It was an implicit knowing. I also have to say that my approach to spirituality and psychedelics is different than most people. I have always wanted to have some kind of path or way, to become an expert in some tools to raise my consciousness but nothing of that seems to work. Only spontaneity and going with reality and what-is seem to work for me. All of my serious awakenings and mystical experiences happen out of the blue and uncaused, all other tools for that purpose just do not render even close results to what happens naturally. I like psychedelics because they are more solid and replicable than just this spontaneous peaks of consciousness and also render similar results. I always set some intention before the trip but the trip itself is the guide and I try to abandon myself in it and go with the flow. So LSD is like that for me, I now understand the words of Neem Karoli Baba, after taking 3 tabs from Ram Dass, he called LSD the yogic medicine.

I mean I already had kundalini awakenings, so I knew how the experience was. However, it was spontaneous or through shaktipat/initiation. So here the sources were either external or just natural. However with lsd was directly caused by my consciousness. I was conscious that my body could not handle it. In fact, this has been the main problem with my lsd trips, I become so conscious that my body aches in pain. So mostly my lsd trips are more like intense energetic and yogic upgrades of the vessel. So at the beggining when I first tried LSD I didn't understand why I felt so much pain in my spine and how the energy was distorted (because of the scoliosis). They were very profund and mind bending experiences but I didn't get why I felt so much pain, something that in mushrooms, mdms, edibles, ketamine and salvia never happened. I only understood it in my third lsd trip which I could do totally alone and then all of this things happened by themselves. Whenever I'm in LSD I feel like yogi. Ou yes definetely. However, I felt like a spec of dust in comparison with the universal intelligence that was possesing my body and healing me, it's very humbling. I was being taken care of. The intelligence and love that was behind the kundalini awakening is beyond any doubt, although extreme, radical and primal in it's approach. It was this feeling of I cannot add anything to this experience, everything I do or do not do, just interferes with the absolute perfection that is being manifest here by it's own accord. However, I felt a bit unease when my neck started moving in dangerous ways and this energy was cracking and realising all the tension there. I knew it was good and it felt good the release but the twists and quick movements really made me a bit paranoic of just cracking my neck open. It was hard to surrender but even what I allowed to happen in the neck really released years of tension. That's literally how it felt in every plane and dimension I existed. I would say to balance the mind sphere and to make the dust floating accumulate in the floor so to speak. To balance creativity, right brain, if you are talking in human terms. In more absolute terms your consciousness is literally creating it and that's why you feel it. It's to own your creative power as God and to put it into balance. Music and vibrations are powerful keys to unlock many aspects of yourself and reality. Very well articulated. I would just add that the first 3 techniques for me are very poor in comparison with yoga in LSD. It's not classic yoga of asanas, you are connected to the source that gave birth to all those asanas and from that source yoga is being manifest exactly for you. This type of yoga incorporates meditation, visualization and music. You are fully in the moment, you are in lsd so you are literally seeing all the alignments you are doing and music is spoken thorugh me, like sounds, mantras, songs, shouting, growling, deep breathing techniques de. It's an all encompasing yoga in LSD. Nothing to do with regular yoga that I can do now for example. In reality, for what you are talking about kundalini and kriya yoga are the best. In fact, I would say kundalini is good to wake up the system and clean everything in it and then once your vessel is evolved then kriya yoga is the best. But I tried kriya yoga first and it didn't work properly, after my kundalini explosion I knew why, there was literally so much to align that kriya yoga would not work properly, it was too gentle and refined, primal kundalini could do it. Also breathing work can really help you, like wim hofman, holotropic breathing or classic pranayama. Breathing is really it's own dimension when it comes to balancing energies, no other techniques hits it directly. I wanted to add that chi gong, rudraksha's and martial arts also work extremely well. Specially martial arts.

Where God is there is also maya. When was He not? Therefore, maya is equally beginningless. Where is the end of it? To whom does one feel attracted? Whose manifestation is it? Reflect deeply! If all is His manifestation, then whose maya is it? Endeavour to find yourself, be it as the Lord’s eternal servant, be it as the Atma. You are immortal—the Bliss of the Self. Why then has one to experience birth and death? There is but the Self reposing within Itself. ~ MA Anandamayee

That's very nice, but don't humanize the guru. The Guru is the universal principle that awakens. If that is manifested through a person, a mountain or a drug is another business.

@Ulax I am God and I am praying to myself. Do the same as you pray but not in a dualistic sense that me is separate than God, or the world is separate than God. Just sit with the cognition: All that is going on now is God, all the experience and phenomena is God. What is seen, the seeing and the seer is God alone. God is all that I can hear, smell taste or touch. My mind and thoughts are God, all understanding or confusion is God, all pain and pleasure is God, all wanting or desirlessness is God. God pervades everything and is everything now. God is my very own self. I am conscious and consciousness is God. I am God and God is me. I am _____. I am. I. ____ . ∞ You take a deep inhale and relax. Then you pray. If there is any prayer left in you at this point altough the prayer may be silence itself, love itself, consciousness itself, oneness itself, infinity itself. Or just wanting a ferrari that is fine also, everything is God, you are asking for God when you want a ferrari for your human ego, which ego is also God. That is praying from the mature place of oneness or praying in Godhood. This is how realized beings pray by the way.

After the trip I was so amazed that I worked for some months with the kundalini energy to just make use of it and kind of stabilize it in the body. I liked this channel but it's just a recommendation:

It felt like super painful but a pain that was love. Let me explain, for example it felt like the kind of pain of working out in the gym, it's pain but you know at the core is good, or the pain of taking a horrible tasting medicine but you know it will heal you. The pain stored arround my spine and traumas stored in my body would be realeased by this intelligent energy. I have to say it felt femenine this energy, chaotic wild loving and healing. I felt like masculine transcendent consciousness that triggered the femenine inmanent grounded reality. What probably was the most shocking is the trance state. Totally losing control over your body. My body started doing spontaneous yogic positions that I wouldn't be able to recreate in 15 years of every day yoga. Also it was not like classic asanas they were asanas specifically for my body manifested exactly for my body-mind at that exact moment. You ego is like wtf is going on, how any of this could even be possible. You shout and scream in release, your body is totally soaked in sweat and you feel this most primal beingness. I remember growling like an absolute beast, such a deep strong vibrations coming out of the animal psyche. I have to say that I was very surprised to encounter such a real and natural kundalini experience. I was aware of kundalini and studied it but I felt like it was something obscure in yoga or that had to be worked for it. It has "nothing" to do with spirituality or religion. It's just a byproduct of the evolution of consciousness, if you become more consciouss than what your vessel can hold, the kundalini will do the job so that you don't fry up your body of how conscious you are. To sum up it felt like nuclear explotions in every cell of my body. Then entering in trance state, the intelligence in your body takes care of you and does what it needs to do and the best thing you can do to help in this procces is to allow it to happend and have no "I" interfering in the awakening of the body.

"In everything and in everybody is but the One Himself. Try to be constantly aware of the fact that whatever is perceived at any time, in whatever way, is but a manifestation of the Supreme Being. How can the perceiver be excluded? Exclusion and non-exclusion are also none but He. Even the feeling of the absence of God is His manifestation - so that His presence may be realized." ~ Anandamayi Ma

He has been initiated by 16 different tribes around the world and went to the core of understanding the primal condition. How interesting!

Non duality from Africa. First time I have heard it from this source

@Chives99 It's very dependent on the individual. The same dose can do nothing to someone and traumatize forever another one. That's why starting low is recommended. I recommend using 1: jet flame and 2: at least 15+ good seconds in, otherwise it won't work properly. Without a high temperature flame Salvinorum A does not seem to extract properly from the leaves. Also it takes a bit long for the lungs to absorb it, so 15 seconds is recommended. There are no studies for how much time exactly it needs but that's the common knowledge, with 15 seconds you are good to go. Salvia has all this little traps, it's for expert drug users ahahhaha. Tip 1: Do it with a bong, otherwise you can burn your lungs with the jet flame. (not very comfortable) Tip 2: buy a jet flem that has the flame horizontally not vertically as a regular lighter. Otherwise, you have to flip it to burn the bowl and is just inconvenient and does not work properly when you have less than 50% gas. This one works: These one are not recommended as the flame is vertical:

Prayer has to be done from the mature place of oneness. In hinduism they call it Sohamasmi: Sohamasmi is a mantra from the Upanishad, meaning : Even when I pray, I am You. Even when I am You, even when we are One, I pray to You. https://nithyanandapedia.org/wiki/Sohamasmi From the place of Sohamasmi pray all that you want

Oh man you are here for a rude awakening... UG is the best for this job

LSD is very yogic in nature. I had an episode of kundalini awakening so extreme in LSD that I thought I was losing my shit. If it weren't because I understood what was going on and the loving nature of what was happening to me. Kundalini awakenings in LSD have INMENSELY healed my scoliosis. My spine and body started doing spontaneous intrincated yoga positions and mad convulsions. I felt like literally every cell in my body was awakening because I had become so conscious that they couldn't hold that much consciousness. It was in this point that the safety mechanism in the body or what it felt like the intelligence in my body was triggered and started the process of evolving the vessel in all levels, what is known as kundalini. I felt so much pain and release it was indescribable. It's very intense so I can understand how the first time you can arrive at the wrong conclusions, but it's extremely loving. Like the most loving and brutaly intense experience. Bursting through all blockages with pure energy and opening it to love and healing.

That is kundalini, chill, very normal, very healthy. Your consciousness was too high for your body so it had to level up. So the intelligence in your body was awakened and that is how kundalini feels.

"Without loving God you will not get anywhere. Remember this at all times." Ma Anandamayi Ignorance, surely, is not what you seek. To aspire to Immortality is man's true nature -or is death desirable? The world is concerned with the knowledge that is ignorance. To long for the cessation of want is your very nature and to explore and penetrate to the root of whatever you perceive. When you buy clothes, you choose durable material, which will not wear out quickly; even this is an indication of your innate tendency to seek the Everlasting. It is your nature to crave for the revelation of That which Is, for the Eternal, for Truth, for limitless Knowledge. This is why you do not feel satisfied with the evanescent, the untrue, with ignorance and limitation. To yearn for the revelation of "What You Are" is your true nature. -Ma Anandamayi

The reason why I apprecite your work. It seems as though you believe we are stupid. Well from the interactions in the forum it's easy to get to this conclusion but there are very serious people following your work, like dead serious, hope you can see that @Leo Gura. I would like to see more content addressing this part of the audience. I'm really looking forward to your methodology for consuming psychedelics and another video talking from the edge of your awakenings like you did with the poem.

A central point is: how many exploration of consciousness is needed (if it's needed at all) to wake up? If it's needed then without tools like psychedelics it's impossible. If it's not needed then it just is a great way to understand yourself ever more deeply and to interconnect with yourself ever more deeply and this goes on for infinity, but is that awakening, is that compulsary? Idk

Nuances on this realization: Everything is what-is or what-is includes everything, but we cannot reduce everything into what-is. This what-is or beingness-consciousness is the bedrock of reality and itself is the substance that metamorphs and is infinity. So what-is/beingness is the substratum of Reality and obviously of yourself. This is self-evidently the case, all is inside the domain of what-is. Maybe awakening is the what-is being what-is ever more deeply.

So I've been reflecting deeply about this whole search of truth of mine, the fact that I bought up into the awakening pursuit and seeking in general. What is the end of all that? It assumes that there is something wrong with what is, in one way or another. It wants to convey an experience of higher consciousness, mystical states of being, penetrating insights into the nature of reality and God-Realization. I can see in myself an escaping of what is now. Wanting reality to be otherwise than it is. Wanting myself to be no self, egoless, or absolute infinity. What I am discovering now is very different in nature with all that paradigm. The love for what is. After all your realizations, you will be left with the unescapable isness. What-is cannot be other than what-is. We can explore this what-is, for sure. What I have discovered is the problem of wanting what-is to be in a particular state of consciousness/being/form. All states are the absolute but not all states are aware of themselves as the absolute, I get it. But there is a meta point in that, which is that in any case everything is perfect. Why are you running? Don't you see it's infinite? The final unraveling is a fantasy because the final unraveling is always already the case, it was always unravelled, naked at first sight, naked in all phenomena and qualia. It's so close that it's ungettable, unrealizable, how could the what-is attain to what-is if it's always already what-is? Don't fixate your mind into any particularity, reality is the eternal shape-shifter, don't get attached to any particular frame but implicitly grasp that all frames, modes of being and states are modification of what-is now, metamorphing and dancing. Searching in a way is ridicule. What reality is now is the point, is absolute truth. Also the resistance to abandone the search, the objections and the doubts, the delusion warnings are what-is, you are entangled and one in the what-is. The answers you want to post, whatever way you make your mind to interpret this, if what I say makes sense or not, is what-is. There is nothing to achieve really because now is all achievements. Stop fantasizing, be real with what-is. I have not experienced a full God-Realization but it will be in the domain of what-is, all my awakenings have been in that domain, reality being in one way or another, or permanents shifts in my consciousness are what-is. I'm just trying to make a meta-point of the so-called search and pursuit of truth as if it were something other than exactly what-is. This realization has brought great relaxation and freedom. No need for myself to be anything else than what I am, now I can love myself. No need for reality to be anything else than what-is, now I can love reality. There is nothing wrong with not being AWAKE, because that is what-is, now I can love everything as it is. What freedom from my Self-constraints!

@Leo Gura This is the reason why I decided to try malt first. Also the body load factor was important for me.

At the beginning seems more of the same, but it gets very interesting very quick.
