What is meaningful to you? I'm interested to know. Is it writing?

True. Holism might be an important factor as well, all sides must be considered. That includes, body, mind, consciousness, society etc.

@shorti62 Congratulations! Hope your work helps people and rises psychedelic awareness.

Psychedelics made many permanent shifts in my consciousness. My experience of reality is quite fluid. Everything breathes for me in my everyday life, it's quite beautiful and mystical. Like a low dose is always on but I see it more as just being more aware.

A very worthwhile endeavour.

Surely you can overdo it and get all toxic about it. Thanks for bringing up David Goggins because it's such a clear example. But if you notice great leaders, athletes and geniuses, they endured pain up to immense levels. Most people wouldn't be resilient enough to take a 1/10 of that. Of course, everything in excess becomes an imbalance. What I was trying to point is that pain becomes actually sweet when you know that it's making your dreams come true. Most importantly you train yourself to see it in the moment, while in PAIN. Comfort leads to mediocrity.

@StyxNStone So cool bro!

You are going in the right direction but there's one blind spot which is causing you great trouble. You still believe you are a human, with a brain, making sense of the world, in a society, happening in a big planet orbiting the sun that was created in the big bang. This whole story is just a figment of your mind, literally, you can toss it out and see what is actually this moment, this experience and allow yourself to be absolutely ungrounded, may reality be naked, pure and direct. Everything becomes magical and a great mystery indeed.

@Nilsi I see your point. I've just had to come to terms with pain because that's my biggest resistance. I want to make great accomplishments in my life but when it becomes too painful then I want just comfort and distraction. If one faces pain and suffering head on and is able to recontextualize the struggle with love, then one becomes unstoppable.

Let the way guide you. I love that. Thanks!

Given the recent talks on the play of genetics and psychic predisposition to spirituality, I'm eager to know what were, if any, your earliest msytical experiences?

The quality of your decisions is also a central aspect. Decision-making is one of the most serious skills you can develop. CEOs are payed millions just for taking good decisions. I am the CEO of my life.

Thank you all for your responses. Very insightful

This is good, you're going on the right direction. Although notice this is more a software mind update than it is to jailbreak one's mind. It's like getting a better version of windows, not about jailbreaking your way out of it and installing totally new and Alien Operating Systems.

Because nothingness exists!

There's s healthy fear in dealing with a nuclear bomb.

It really is. It still is. As a matter of fact, this is the reason why I sometimes despise comments like everything is God or Infinity is now, because once you truly experience God or Infinite Consciousness the contrast with human life is like night and day.

Nice rationalisation. Direct experience can be deceptive. It's by deception that the fox kills and that the hunter places traps. There are both traps in direct experience and in abstractions, such is the nature of Reality and one has to recognise this to jailbreak one's mind.

That's on you. Whatever you value. Some examples include: Acing university, building a successful business, having long-term fulfilling relationships, becoming a great athlete, speaking multiple languages etc. All these require first great ambition and then great work. Key questions in this process are: What is the biggest obstacle in actualizing your ambitions? Distraction What is the biggest booster to actualize your ambitions? Falling in love with the pain that grows you.

Hi @Asia P, hope you're doing fine. I'd say It's part of the process. It's time for integration and grounding now. You liked nature, go have a walk in the forest and find joy in limitation back again.

Oh, really? I expected a bit more of common sense from you. Everybody is happy baby becomes happy. External condition of fire. Oh baby curious. Touches Oh baby in pain. Where is mum? Mum comes and is relieved. (So on for 90 videos where you can study how babies adapt to external conditions and direct experience) It takes much more intelligence and consciousness if you want to jailbreak your mind.

@Leo Gura Really loved your last quote. I feel you're getting to the juice of the matter lately. It remembered me of the prayer: Oh God I know you're everything, all-encompassing Infinity, please manifest to me in your Godly Form!

Well literally many prophets from Judaism like Isaiah or Micah had mystical experience of Christ before it incarnated. So watch out with being simple minded, everything is very intricate, and truth, falsehood and self-deception intermingles. You can find historical quotes of what I'm saying. Edit: The full conversation has many nuances, just made a quick point, excuse me for not addressing the full picture.
