Watch this video if you still have doubts come back. Trust me, we have all been there and it's part of the path to be all over the place between the relative and the absolute.

@Leo Gura If this is the case, are you more open now to experience salvia? One of the many reasons I'm exploring salvia it's because it's such a profound training for your mind, psyche and consciousness. I've been having very inexplicable trips with Salvia, and I'm honestly very very very surprised you just tried Salvia once. I remember how you said that the biggest mistake you could have made is trying 5meo and then being terrorized and not trying it again, but you were wise enough to go again and again and again. Yet you just did Salvia once, experienced this super weird state of consciousness, and as far as I know you haven't done it anymore. Let's be honest, I must confess that I'm trying to convince you to try salvia again because I'm very puzzled by it and find no mature inquiry on this otherworldly substance. Salvia is extremely different to any other psychedelics, and I'm again surprised you have not fallen in love with that. I'm just so intrigued by such bizarre and alien trips. I hope you have now the same higher wisdom you had with 5meo to go again and again and again to the Salvia realm.

I wanted to make another thread but just gonna ask. Anyone has done LSD + mushrooms?

I think it's time. @Leo Gura, you could start being more creative in your communication. If you really want to transmit the higher states of consciousness, that must hit the audience in different ways. The message needs to arrive in different packaging because we are all different. I'm sure it would be an exciting journey to open up and explore options like workshops, lectures in front of people, casual conversations, retreats, even online meetings with your subscriber, live events... You name it, I invite you to go down this road and create new ways of conveying your message. Otherwise, you will stagnate on that chair talking for millennia

I recommend this film if you feel curious about Sri Anandamayi Ma. If you study carefully her life, you will see something distinctively different about her. It's honestly breathtaking.

There is nothing whatsoever outside of THAT. ================================ When you speak of non-duality, is not the idea of duality implied? But in the realm of Pure Consciousness, if you say "Maya exists", so it does ; and if you say "there is no such thing as Maya", it is equally correct; for nothing can be excluded. Non-duality, which cannot be conceived of, is as true as that which one is capable of conceiving. For all is THAT, and where THAT is, there is no contradiction. The false as such must vanish. How can one speak of advaita and include individuals, the world? Since there is non-duality, can there still be individuals, can there still be the world? In that state, where do these find a place? Where exclusively Oneness is, how can there be room left for ‘two’? Furthermore, is it not said : "Wherever a man is, there is Siva, and wherever a woman, there is Gawri*." From this point of view you should now try to ponder over all this. Nevertheless, whatever anyone may say from any standpoint, everything is right, nothing can be outside of THAT. Whether you say there is or there is not the appearance of Maya - actually speech cannot express it. Using words or not, seeing or failing to see, is merely a matter of angles of vision. On the other hand, where THAT is, there can be no angles of vision. Problems are born through want of knowledge, due to the veil of ignorance. Until one is established in one’s own Essential Being ( Svarupa), it is natural that queries should arise. In the realm of phenomena there is much differentiation, such as ‘above’ and ‘below’. But There - what is and what is not? Where ascent and descent can still be spoken of, what will you call such a state? Must you not admit that various directions have remained? If you speak of descent and ascent, it is implied that there must be a place to descend to; but whither can He descend? To Himself alone of course. Ascending and descending are one and the same thing, and He who ascends, is He who descends, and the acts of ascending and descending are also He. Although you speak of Divine Descent(Avataran), He surely does not become divided. You see fire flare up here and there, but this does not affect its unity: fire as fire is eternal. This is how you should under-stand it. No simile is ever complete. He who descends, whence He descends, and whither - all are one. There is nothing whatsoever outside of THAT. ~ WORDS OF SRI ANANDAMAYI MA TRANSLATED AND COMPILED BY ATMANANDA

Also doing concentration practice on this images can help you to organize the energy inside your system. It worked for me, it could work also for you, or not.

Shores of Infinity is a channel that could help you in that

It could be a third eye awakening. I did experience the same symptoms as you but it all depends on the severity of them, it could be something else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgrkkQkSNzw&t That video should help you very much.

Meher baba is said to be in Tier 3 I cannot understand properly his books. God Speaks is said to be revolutionary

Martial Arts is the best I have found. That grounds you to the core. No matter how up you are in the sky you will get back to defend your body in a figth

no question at all what is the one formulating this question? what is God? What is the most impotrant question of all time? All these are good questions

Could you please tell me what are the other few teachers you respect? I am very interested towards understanding too, however I sometimes feel it may be a bias of mine. Could you elaborate further upon why understanding is at the center of your path? And specially understanding applied to metaphysics or Consciousness? Doesn't the path of understanding end in omniscience? Is your goal omniescience or God-Realization or both I assume? What are the downsides of focusing on understanding? This is a real question and it is important for me to understand the importance of understanding and it's blind spots

@LSD-Rumi With all the respects, what a preposterous comparation

I've wanted to enter into sleep consciously for a long time but really had no success in it. I also have not found any high quality sources on yoga nidra. How do you enter into sleep consciously and remain conscious for the whole night? This topic really fascinates me but honestly I've just found hearsay

It kind of reminds me the feeling I got after a Salvia trip. It's all fun till you start unziping what reality is at the ground level. This is the difference between curios people and mystics. Ones had enough and integrate that wisdom or try to forget, the other keep walking and keep walking beyond the edges of infinity. Also these will pass, your ego is probably just traumatized. I could say that you thinking this is a dream is also a dream created by God, yet that did not help me. With some time and GROUNDING you will be fine and what you have seen cannot be unseen and the ineffable will call you again... How to ground yourself? Walk barefoot in nature, hug trees, do intense breathwork (wim hof), kriya yoga, martial arts. Martial arts have been of great help in my path, I strongly recommend it

Of course but they can be also a trap. Having an ego death is a no return experience for example, you can't be the same ever when you have literally died.

Wim hof guided breathing Neem powder in the morning. Triphala at night. Any martial arts. I like taekwondo Kriya yoga. Psychedelics in general. Rudraksha's bead Binaural beats Make your room a powerful energy centre. Have sacred music always playing on, burn incense, have photos of gurus and saints from all religions. Buy an electronic book reader and you will have all books 4 free if you can find them online. Plus buy Leo's booklist (life-changing)

@TheGreekSeeker Step by step, follow your heart

The Rastafari religion always praised the plant as a tool to connect with God

Salvia is the best and worse psychedelic I've tried. I really recommend it but it's not for everyone that for sure. It makes you die every time in weird twisted ways but there is great power in going through these experiences

This is my personal playlist for studying using binaural beats (so mostly gamma waves) and other conscious elevating vibrations.

Salvia is another thing. It's outside the spectrum of regular psychedelics. I haven't tried the dmt's but hope they are less brutal. Still in shock a bit, but I want it to write it fresh. I hit it twice. Then lay down. Next thing happening is me exiting this reality. I couldn't even locate the one freaking out because it wasn't me, that flesh and bones, I just felt the breathing of the body drawing in the nothingness but I couldn't ubicate myself or nothing, it's just so radical, you forget you took salvia, you forget everything. After this brutal peak, the ego after the punch of salvia gets wild and I take out a peace of robe I had in my eyes to have complete darkness. Then I watch the room in a weird psychedelic distortion while shouting mantras, like they would kind of save me of the ego death. After this whole drama I go back to it. Some family members popped in visuals and anxiety of my parents just randomly rocking into my room even though they are not home. Then the Salvia spirit just pops in and starts telling me how we are supposed to work like this if I am full of fears and anxieties. Then I tell her how am I supposed to react after that, then it becomes obvious I am just a child and that reaction is of a child, and then kind of shows me that I am a whole bunch of cables all distorted in a big mess and reality and infinite thread that can created in nowness but all lead to duality. Then pulls me to consciousness and I'm in a kind of existencial appreciation of duality while it is disappearing into the nothing in the nothing, how all this conglomerate of cables are just a drama. Then I have my peak state as God, just grasping the consciousness of that moment in shock. The dream of this life, of this reality, what death really is, how consciousness is encapsulated in the "body" and how it leaves it through the spine and exits in the crown towards infinite, like watching your body as a spec of dust knowing it is not you and it never has been. Consciousness itself engrossed in the crown entering the spine and expanding into the five sense, experience and mind as this big conglomerate of threads. When I was more into the body but still feeling my consciousness state, salvia spirit pop backs and my body-mind just starts appreciating deeply duality and the beauty of it. It's very hard to explain transcendentalism and relativity simultaneously as both your doing and just being conscious of it. The trip evolves then to Salvia asking me is this really what you want, to know you are God. Still with shit in my pants and profoundly, existentialy shocked I start shouting yes like a fanatic. Even though, it was as brutal and as radical as anything I have experienced this is the path and I fully embrace it. Then I understood why Leo is more about the peaks of consciousness than raising base line consciousness. If you happen to read this, I am telling you, that peak is beyond any base line, go for the peak, go for it, all it's a joke when you have that peak. While my consciousness was kend of getting tuned in again in my body through the spine my body mind ego was like thanks god, the full personality that was disolved kind of getting created again like o my god I see the profound beauty of reality of doing the regular life, I'm so grateful I can fucking work and be in duality. Then as God I see, oh that's why I have done it. Then my ego seeing that this procces is about itself killing itself to get to God and then me as God like lol I am God let me be a random dude in a generated existance. I just see the joke of it all. Anyway, be careful with Salvia. VERY CAREFUL. We don't listen I know, we just randomly go reading these posts and going on with our life but listen here, Salvia can unzip reality like water is wet. And the moment you leave the pipe while the smoke is still in your lungs you will know. I found Salvia extremely helpful in the path but only if you are dead serious about it. How to know if we are dead serious, you are not, you hit that salvia and feel like a child and get humbled down. Then if you are not profoundlky traumatized depending of the dose you do the radical work of realizing you are God. Now with 30min perspective is amazing, my first ego death and consciousness realization but it's too radical, radical beyond what the limited body faculty of imagination can do to grasp it. It's beautiful but it's too radical, it just depends on you, after getting fucked by Salvia fully if in the come down it asks you is really God-Realization what you want? Hope you shout like a freak yes, otherwise enjoy this beautiful duality, it has a sense to be trust me, it's amazing the way it is, you don't need at all oneness, oneness came to be duality and duality exists to go to oneness. It's a rabit loop hole of relative and transcendental. Sorry for any spelling errors, english is not my main language and I'm still settling down.
