@integration journey Vipassana and Self Inquiry work great together because identity is usually attached to body sensations. When through vipassana one is able to investigate phenomena and see through it like holographic sensations, identity is afected. Mind being trained and laminarly flowing thanks to vipassana makes a great ecosystem for Self Inquiry to happen; dissolving the core egoic structures into the centerless conscious Self, the Infinite Self. Regarding, expansive meditations I would like to give a more concrete example of what I mean: Advanced practitioners, usually start with concentration, focus, energy work, yoga, pranayama, chanting... to awaken and focus the body-mind faculties. Afterwards, they ease out into the expansive states of consciousness, stretching as far as it will go, letting everything be, releasing attention and resting in naked efortless Awareness; clearly Awake, boundless and Self-Luminous Consciousness.

This video is surprisingly insightful. Wanted to share it in case it skipped your radar

Leo is probably doing high level Philosophy.

@integration journey Double concentration techniques. Very good for sharpness. Make sure to open up the space with relaxation, satisfaction and choice less awareness. Do nothing meditation, letting go meditation, zazen... Mind is like a chewing gum, as you contract and focus the more it can expand and grow. Try these little tricks, maybe you like it.

@Schizophonia What is your favourite substance for non recreational use?

@Asia P It takes time to develop, its like a muscle. You may need to train your mind over long periods of time for acquiring meditative skills: A good theoretical foundation for Meditation is the book Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha: An Unusually Hardcore Dharma Book When you take psychedelics it's like using steroids, you get temporary super powers. Also, I would recommend more Ketamine use for learning classic meditative skills rather than psychedelics, maybe also low doses of 5-MeO-DMT. Your meditation habilitites when developed over time will drastically change your moment to moment experience as well as your trips. Your Consciousness has evolved and now, new Mind tools are being used to navigate states of consciousness. Fascinating! Isn't it so?

I've been brainstorming about this lately: How can I make better use of my phone to evolve myself and build positive habits?

That's a figment of your consciousness That's literally all it is Consciousness can become conscious of ITSELF for INFINITY

I see no issue That is a point in the Infinite Possibilities of Existence to be Even more, we can understand what we mean by body. What is really your body? Meaning, where is the line? Feelings? tactktile and heat sensations? Spatial awareness? Sight? Sound? Taste? Light? Consciousness? You tell me

@Leo Gura What is Intelligence? I really don't know But I see it Everywhere

You get into an infinite regress problem Evolve your Logic

I told Chatgpt to explain me the First Law of Thermodynamics in this context Science on Steroids. AI logic, I guess.

@Princess Arabia Everything has its lights and shadows. Get real.

Do a shit tone of psychedelics, that will do it.

@Lynx Yes, I understand. Follow your inner intelligence and wisdom. Pharmacologically it combines good. I have tested and there are no trip reports on the matter. So there's very few evidence but my experience has been quite good. Please report us when you feel like trying it. Lots of love Lynx❤️

An animated discussion was going on, one argument following another, without its leading to any feasible solution. Someone who was getting tired of this endless controversy said, "Mataji, there is a saying that when a lemon is squeezed too much it becomes bitter." Mataji: When a fire is raked up it burns brighter. Similarly by discussing religion and philosophy one’s interest in these subjects grows. Of course, it is also true that a lemon becomes bitter if squeezed too much. But when an earnest seeker discusses with the sincere desire to find Truth, his eyes will be opened. Some people's confusion is cleared up by reasoning, while others only become more perplexed by discussions. Everyone has his own way. When one’s problems are made more acute one feels disturbed and thereby ones Search will be intensified. Before thread can be spun and woven into cloth the pod in which the cotton was enclosed has first to be broken and entirely destroyed. To prepare oneself really means to uproot completely the sense of "I". So long as a trace of it is left He cannot shine forth, the revelation of Truth cannot dawn. - Ma Anandamayi.

@Sabth Maybe that's its beauty. Idk, as an outsider it has a very mysterious vibe honestly. Also its history dates back to preislamic times, where people also found this stone to be quite bizarre.

@Lynx I've tried plug Malt first and then snort K. I've also tried both plugged. Both works great. I would recommend plug a good dose of Malt and when you're stable in the state, then snort ketamine and work with the dose. At night this combo seems to work best. Don't expect too much as this is the most common trap when combining substances, go with the flow and discover, don't be expecting the next thing, be in the now.

Still not very impressive. I'm getting quite bored of the buffet that internet can offer me. Everything is quite average at best or very mediocre.

I'm very interested to know more about Philosophical Counseling and hoping we could make a thread all sharing the info we found. Here is an example of a real session:

To give a rough point of reference, you could say that Infinity of God's is like Indra's Net in the Godly Holarchy.

@Ishanga You are surprising me lately. Definitely you have done a glow up! 🌟 Keep up the good work

@integration journey I would say 5-MeO-Dmt is the God Molecule. I would say 5-MeO-Malt is the Goddess Molecule. I would recommend working first with Malt, very gentle and loving. Once you get the taste go to the king for breakthrough. The uniqueness of 5-MeO-Dmt is the breakthrough, absolutely gorgeous. Truth and consciousness hits you with a hammer. The uniqueness of Malt is how holistic and embracing it is. It's flowing, energetic and playful.

I always liked the Black Stone (al-Ḥajar al-Aswad) outside the Kaaba

Imagine you are inside a perfectly spherical mirror, all sides reflecting your presence. Imagine this mirror fracturing in infinitely beautiful patterns, all of them revealing a new face of your own, reflecting your own consciousness in the same way you are a mirror to them.
