Congratulations, really happy to read this! I would advise you to focus on these two aspects for progressing further. Love is the ultimate healer, bask in Self-Love as deeply and as open as possible. When you can no more, take a deep breath and breakthrough that and love yourself a tiny bit more. Love all the crap of your psyche and self, infuse it with the light and love of pure Consciousness, understanding and all-embracement. The ball of yarn you're describing, it might feel as one thing more of the trip but I would like you to consider it as absolutely central to your healing process. Understand the entanglement your mind is in, the blocks and tensions in your body and the trip will guide you towards "resolving" and unknoting the ball of yarn. I consider myself an experienced psychonaut and I'm heavily still working in these two points. I hoped I would have recognised their importance sooner and focus on them as they are a constant developmental axis both inside tripping and with real lasting implications on everyday life. Wish you the best and very very happy for your immense success! Most people struggle to reach such realizations even with lots of spiritual practice and many trips, so really you do have a talent here. Consider yourself an unpolished diamond, take it with patience and perseverance and everything will arrive, I promise!

Yes maybe you're right. By that manipulation they may leach money from the pocket's costumer, which otherwise wouldn't happen. It's a subtle connection towards stealing material goods. Advertising corrupts more the mind than takes away things from it, which can be framed as stealing freedom but yeah I prefer the corruption framing.

By deconstructing the sense of self, story, memory, narratives, the whole psychic structure can tremble by a powerful enough dose and a ripe ego. How do you know that? I'm not claiming yes or no, I'm just asking for the epistemology backing up that claim What is death? What does it mean to die in a conventional sense? What is the I that dies or lives? Could death just be the shapeshifting of Reality? Or impermanence as buddhist like to coin it Can one therefore trascend form and formlessness in psychedelics? Reaching higher consciousness than life or death? It is indeed posible but if you never do them, you will never know. So you will have just more stories to fatten ego with this discussion. You gotta aim towards the mystical Awakening, the rest never satisfies and you come back again with these intellectual questions. I can see you're not doing much serious spiritual work, then no conscious competence is built nor one realizes beyond doubt the answer to existential questions. So you find yourself in a cognitive disonance, where you want to know but you aren't involved in any serious disciplined action for that question to bear fruit.

@Leo Gura Have you contemplated marketing as a subtle form of theft? You were in the industry so you should know better than me. Marketing steals your time, attention and decision-freedom. It is a crime to the sovereignity of every self, as they try to manipulate you, take away your money and indoctrinate you with subconscious values for their best interests.

You've talked about this several times. Maybe it's over, for the moment. Have you tried Ketamine? Give it a lost shot before taking the most logical and self-loving decision, which is to let them go.

The path is narrow, as sharp as the razor's edge, and perilous (dangerous) in the extreme. Sri Anandamayi Ma

Yes, mostly by becoming more conscious you lose the numbness of perception. With heightened perception/awareness comes higher sensitivity to drugs. It's about your baseline state and your precision about changes in it: if you have an imprecise ruler, 2cm more or less isn't that much noticeable, if you have a Laser Distance Meter which is precise up to milimetres, then it is.

The classic reductionism The very first people that want to point the traps and limitations of language are the ones that most entangle themselves in the mess of words. Don't overcomplicate the already messy. Consciousness is happening, I'm gonna just stare to it like it's a pussy

@Kuba Powiertowski My life purpouse is: Thrive as a human & Awaken as God In more detail you can read my signature: I think it's not that hard to realize God Consciousness, you just need to really want it. Do all spiritual practices and stay with the ones that work for you. Do a shit tone of 5meo. There you have it. Why no body does it? Just throw yourself in the pursuit of Truth like a maniac

Like water manifesting states: ice, liquid, gaseous... One of the biggest shifts in my perception happened when I realized reality is not made of atoms or anything material but that is made out of Pure Consciousness and Consciousness is a sentient Infinite Mind which is intelligence and runs itself in jaw breaking perfection.

Lmao, that's literally the heart of my meditation practice. Tip for hindrances: If distractions arise, it’s because I’ve lost awareness of my breath. Closing: Invocation of Gurus and cardinal energetic points inside and outside the body. Blessings and last soaking in the Omnipresence of God. Go about my day as Awake as possible

I liked Boston

I feel amazed about what can be done in consciousness and how little has been shared. I almost feel compelled to start some kind of public communications by this point. It feels like a universal duty. I still consider myself in an embryonic stage of my Awakening possibilities yet whoever I talk with and the spiritual field of all ages, I rarely find some expression that I say: I have not Awaken to that. I do have a private club of what I consider my Gurus, rare almost unheard and all deceased but two. I hope to meet them before death happens. As the saying goes, as crazy as you are don't worry there'll always be someone crazier than you.

Yes, I've been there Consciousness is literally nothing That's what it is Only nothing can be everything We're on the same page in that It is no ordinary perception or consciousness indeed Consciousness is what you're pointing but you haven't recognised it as such Nothing is still alive, it exists as nothing Existence is Consciousness The Absolute is Consciousness even if you're "unaware of it" That doesn't make it less or more Consciousness, it makes it unconscious, or in other words, it exists as unconsciousness Different gradiations of consciousness, expressions of it Whatever you're calling Absolute I call it Consciousness What you are calling consciousness I would rather call it awareness There's just One Substances in the Cosmos It's Conciousness This experience that is happening is Pure Consciousness like everything that could ever be I'm floating in a chair of Consciousness I'm writing in consciousness about Consciousness I'm consciously communicating with consciousness Consciousness is the Absolute, is Infinity, is Love, is Truth, is God, is Perfection, is Nothing, is Everything, is Alive, is ShapeShifting, is Omnipresent, is Omniscient, is Omnipotent, is limited, is bounded, is a Field, is beingness, is Awake, is deluded, is first person, second person, third person, is REALITY, is now, is total; it's always already the case

@Breakingthewall I agree with all that you say but your understanding of Consciousness. In my Awakenings it has been revealed beyond doubt that Consciouness is the One Infinite Reality which is God, sentient, perfect: a Field with no boundaries that contains all possible limitations and permutations. I agree with your stated mechanics but I cannot betray the Divine Infinite Field of Consciousness that IS all this modes and possible experiences. From which I try to attain the most autoconscious ones, the best possible configurations so to speak, that maximize what I consider to be the calling of existence itself.

@Breakingthewall You must distinguish between Consciousness and autoconsciousness. You are confusing autoconsciousness with Consciousness. Everything is Consciousness but not all of it is autoconscious or consciousness shining in consciousness, so to speak. It's multilevel consciousness. Otherwise, please tell me what is beyond Consciousness/Existence? Exactly what I'm trying to say. So in this sense we can say autoconsciousness or itself consciousness is a most perfect state but Consciousness itself is indeed Infinite and all encompasing beyond awareness.

It really is interesting to be exposed to this material At some point I'll have to watch some on 5meo to lose that distance and comfort of being in my home watching someone being murdered but literally dying with the experience, immersing myself and refining my decision making/understanding.

Poetry! Funny Ralston was in that exact same situation a year ago, King of his own world of what thought possible. Bottomline, Consciousness can always be more Awake and Infinite as well as more limited and deluded, such is the nature of Reality and the Omnipotent Mind of God. Interested to check that out

I don't trip like I bench press. It's a joy and a lifestyle. I have no goal but to enjoy the journey. In my mind, if you're thinking about hitting a certain number it's the wrong approach. Do it because you love it. Although it's clear that there are important Awakenings that only happen as you get more trips under your belt. It's called tripping for a reason, the more you trip the further you travel.

It's a hard question to answer, as many factors come into play. If there is a tailored program for policing, meaning you do a state funded project to identify the needs of the police department with the existing martial arts training and the military, it can be done in 6 months via 4 trainings a week. However, if that doesn't happen and they don't wanna take responsability for making that program but take already existing martial arts systems. My advice would be purple jiu-jitsu belt which depends on the person but roughly it takes about 5 years to acquire. So yeah a major drawback in time, becaue jiu-jitsu does take time to build up the skills enough to translate them into the policing domain. Blue belt may be enough but with a bigger stronger crazier opponent you're still doomed. Purple belt is very solid and in the policing domain you'll be able to takedown and keep ground control of almost all oponents. The problem with the non-tailored-program approach is that you'll be learning lots of useful stuff that won't apply for your job and that takes quite some time away. Edit afterthoughts: I've been contemplating it and around 2 and a half years of MMA would be more than enough as well but it's injure prone and honestly I wouldn't like police officers to be trained in such a way. It's too deadly and complete, you can really hurt citizens with those skills. Jiu-jitsu is safer and effective with great values and a nice sense of community. So my recommendation still holds but regarding training time and already existing systems, MMA would be most effective for policing uncooperative criminals.

@Leo Gura You've broken my heart this year No halloween special No christmas special No porn collection release Where are we headed??!

Merry Christmas!!! I was going to make a thread and was delighted to see one already! Lots of love family❤️❤️❤️ Actualized.org keeps being an amazing place

Police officers should get racing experience

I assume cops in the US have better shooting skills. Here in Barcelona when we had the yihadist attacks there was a big scandal, as many officers were firing for the first time after many years and just couldn't shoot down the terrorists.
