I gravitate towards this interpretation @Asia P Just do what you want. Try all drugs and see what they do in your body, mind and Consciousness. Then you know what is good for what and what is bad for what. Trying once doesn't hurt, it's addiction, dependence and overdose what represents a problem.

I've been contemplating my own Postmodernism, and this is what I wanted to share. First of all, it has been like lifting a thick mental cloth that was suffocating my sense-making. I still can't pinpoint what made it happen, but the effects are clear and, from what I can tell, permanent, so I'm very satisfied with that. My biggest breakthrough has been in interpretations—so much so that I've come to question all my epistemology and sense-making. Surprisingly, my metaphysics were undaunted by this process and remain rock-solid. However, I became hyper-aware of 'interpretation' as second-order sense-making, how I make use of my mind. In each situation I experience, my consciousness is crystal clear about what is happening, and on top of this, I ask myself: what do I make this moment to be, to mean? For every experience, literally dozens of interpretations started coming up; each moment can be recontextualized. As I deepened my inquiry, ever more profound levels of relativity started unfolding. While it was raining, I had this seemingly absurd insight: Why does water fall down? It could be cats and dogs, or cheese, or whatever. The absurd relativity of being water amazed me to the core. In this sense, my epistemology is currently undergoing construction work, and I'm still unsure where it's taking me. I've undergone similar processes before, but this feels like a thicker level of examination, where everything seemed maxed out now new doors are open. What I mean is, what happens when I become hyper-aware of interpretation-making? How am I going to make sense of existence? On the other hand, some interpretations serve me well and others do not—but well for what? This deepened into pure questioning of my 'principles,' or should I call them 'biases,' depending on the interpretation. In this sense, I have to reformulate purely personal principles to which I can conform and test my interpretations. These could be truth, fulfillment, pragmatism, and so on—I'm still working on it. Postmodernism literally allows for infinite mind flexibility of interpretations, points of view, and relativity. I'm kind of playing with it from this newfound clarity. On a collective level, I understood why, in the big scheme of things, this is the next step beyond modernism. I can clearly see how, in the next fifty years, from governmental thought spheres to decision-making elites, the diversity that Postmodernism showcases will come in very handy for the evolution of humankind. My concern lies in the abuse that modern and premodern forces can make of a naive Postmodernism, although my guess is that a strong modernist backbone will hold up, as will sheer survival forces when things get tough. Regarding the video format, I loved how you picked different philosophers and explained their big ideas. This approach gives the viewer anchor points for further research and contemplation. Moreover, when you listed the properties of Postmodernism, like intertextuality and more, I really enjoyed the way it was done. It felt like a solid epistemic system analysis. In terms of the new direction Actualized.org is taking, I have mixed feelings. I'm super excited about the path you're going to construct for humanity to evolve into the peaks of human possibility. In a way, it's true that this is something only you can do. However, guiding towards the highest states of Consciousness, God, and Infinity is a work only a sage like you can do. I'm sure you will cover this in your courses, which is totally understandable, and I'll be the first one to buy them. Still, I have this heartache that I wanted to express. I'm one of the most serious contemplators of your work, and I know the difference between gold and diamond. That's all. Meow chirp chirp

Riffing also allows for insights as you speak. It's sometimes also more entertaining, I like when you explain stories. Storytelling makes your videos more compelling.

You fucking blew my brains out here. I contemplated deeply doubt but never made the connection with it being a mechanism of self deception. This is extremely profound

@pero21221 Try taking Haritaki . It's known for purifying the lungs. If you want an overall combo Triphala is an Ayurvedic herbal formulation which contains three fruits ingredients namely Amalaki (Indian Gooseberry), Haritaki (Indian Gallnut or Terminalia chebula), and Bibhitaki (Beleric myrobalan or Terminalia bellerica) It really works

I want redosing. Plugging can be overall a bit cumbersome, empty stomach, putting the syringe etc. I have no trouble but I feel like trying the vaping way. Also I thought about taking my vape with me and just hit it casually, to experiment. However, with this e-mesh doesn't seem very convenient for that. There are option for doing with juice I guess, I don't know how they compare with this one. Overall, thank you very much. I really appreciate the video you shared

@Schizophonia High Consciousness individuals that are deeply interested in Religious Understanding usually end up with what is called "Personal Religion" or Syncretism.

We are on the same page. Even Leo commonly falls into the trap of strawmaning religions

I'm trying to vape 5meo but I haven't gotten the clarity of how to do it. I just don't seem to understand the resources. I wonder if there is any video on the topic. I used to vape so I'm aware of how it works. So can I just drop 5meo freebase in a juice and vape it like that? Or does it have to be special type of vape?

Yes at this point, that's what it is. So take it as such, as a possibility. That's good epistemology. Although be open minded. Some things may require ten years of openmindedness till it arrives to fruition. I wish you the best and know that I'm here for any challenges you may encounter in your path, in case I have gone through them and can give you my two cents on the topic.

@Spiritual Warfare I just can again recommend you to do psychedelics or any spiritual practice that makes you more conscious. You gotta lift the weights, you've maxed out intelligence with the consciousness and mystical states you have explored. It's time to try other tools, become more conscious and experience the wide palate of mystical states. That will satisfy your thirst, this thread unluckily won't.

You are God so that is very much what the topic is about. Consciousness is what you really are. How are you gonna proof consciousness or your own existence. If you are conscious of it all and everything you do is mediated by existence. It's an intractable problem

The crux of the matter is that you're unwilling to do the work it takes to realize God or Infinite Consciousness. Or are you? I cannot lift weigths for you boy But you wanna me to prove them to you and somehow give them to you. It doesn't work like that sorry. I don't make the rules. I had to work insanely to arrive to this Awakenings. The Infinity video by Leo provides excellent evidence of this. It's called the Infinite Sandbox analogy

Nice, now we are talking So consciousness is actually God. You still haven't recognised yourself in the mirror. It's fine, we are all in this infinite self-discovery process. So Consciousness has Infinite possibile states, let's say water just has three states, so consciousness can be conscious of Infinitely different things by making distinctions within itself. Look where you are at and see that consciousness is distinguishing itself in particular forms and sensations while being an Infinite 360 Field. So while Consciousness has infinite states, only a subset of states are aware of what Consciousness is, aka God. So your work is to arrive at those states which will grant a self recognition. Meaning what is needed is for God to manifest in its godly form.

What source? It's a fantasy in your mind You have this moment. What is this Reality that you are experiencing? If you become more conscious you may recognise that your body, egoic mind, world and phenomena is consciousness. This means you are conscious of your body, the sensations, the screen led. your breathing, the room, the space, everything is inside your own Consciousness. This Consciousness is what you are asking for and it's always already right in front of your eyes

Lmao, give me proof of a form that stays forever the same. It's not only impossible in practice but also in theory. You are unaware of universal mechanics. There are very intelligent self imposing limitations of Reality and God, that you cannot bend at will. This must be so because God is stepping inside itself at every moment, so whatever it holds on goes for infinite chains and it must return to itself at some point. This is not an error, but a core feature of existence. The Real form is Formlessness. Formelessness and form are identical and are distinctions that cocreate each other. If God was only a form, what happens with the rest of possible forms? They are not God? Now you create God and no God, which is a distinction, division, duality. Forgetting my first point made in this conversation: Have you seen this video? It addresses all your doubts Maybe check it out and we can continue the conversation in deeper ways. You need to work on your metaphysics and epistemology.

Proof is a subset of Truth This was proven my mathematician and logist Kurt Godel Proof is a subset of Reality There are immense problems with proving things, you take the whole notiong of "tangible proof" for granted. Contemplate what proof actually is, this is multiple year contemplation question. How can I proof to you that Reality exists? Well it obviously does, this is it, now I can play with it and make petty proofs

Because that is not God Form must die. It's impermanent. Look arround you, reality is in a constant flux, for God to be in a particular form would be for God to be limited, as form implies limitation and distinction. God or Reality is an Infinite Shape Shifting Experience. See? God does not embody existence, God IS Existence You're trying to limit God by form or by creation or by whatever you come up. But all that you propose is deeply unintelligent and Reality is Infinetely intelligent and perfect. Therefore the most brilliant design that existence could be is exactly this one. God is Absolutely Infinite, whatever is happening now is God, all the infinite permutations of experience and Reality is God.

Suppose you wanna climb a dangerous mountain or arrive by road to a distant place. If you don't know how to do it you'll need a guide, a school of climbing and so on. If you know how to arrive you'll do it by yourself. That is the meaning of Religion, to provide such help and its own set of traps. That's what egoic humans have done with the sacred truths revealed by mystics. One when studies comparative religion discovers very quickly the immense abism between the common man and the saints of the given Religion. You make up your mind, of course. You'll judge it from your own paradigm, which you're unaware of, and you'll judge the new paradigm in terms of the old and assess it according to (probably) pragmatism. Which mean how useful is this religion to get me out of this dark time that I'm facing. The paradigm or tool that does the job will become your status quo and the rest will be discarded. In the best case scenario, otherwise you'll suffocate and rotten yourself in your little fish tank. Probably you are going through a personal time where your old shelf is too little and you are searching for a bigger shelf. That's my interpretation

By becoming Infinitely Conscious Psychedelics help in that pursuit. Once one is Infinitely conscious one sees, that Reality is One and Infinite, therefore all things are distinctions within one's mind. You lack consciousness, that's the bottleneck and no amount of intelligence or thought will bypass it. How do you define God? I can't speak if I don't know what are you pointing towards

If you want fish, you'll have to get your ass wet Spanish proverb

@Spiritual Warfare You won't realize God by this approach. It's like trying to put the whole ocean in a bucket. Do psychedelics seriously and long enough, then maybe you'll get lucky and have a glimpse into the nature of God

Some months ago I became acutely aware of how unproductive my phone use was. Now, I've decided to consciously use my electronic device in my favour. I'm exploring different routes for making that happen. Changing dopamine focused use to learning and maturity use. I have started using an N-back app to improve my mental skills and other apps like the following to stimulate myself in a healthy and constructive way. What I find most crazy is that I haven't done this before. Like I have an amazing space of possibilities to use my phone and I've been using it mostly wrong and to distract myself. How would your life look like if the 3h (check your stats) a day you put into your phone use changed into 2h of personal consistent self improvement work!

@LambdaDelta thanks, great tips
