@Asia P With low doses all drugs seem alike. A beer, two puffs, a bit of K, a bit of coke, microdose of LSD. All more less the same for the untrained eye. The higher the dose, the experience follows among the lines of downers, uppers, psychedelic, delirants and all the big drug categories there are. You increment even more the dose and each substance shows it's unique character. 20g of mushrooms very very different than 2000micrograms of LSD and so on happens with all substances, entering into it's own world of wonders and hells. This is the meta perspective of drug use and dose, for you to navigate safely and wisely.

@LoneWonderer There are some questions regarding tripping that only oneself can answer. Make sure not to outsource those, as why should others know better. The rest you can ask advice here and there and do research. How my body functions though, how my mind works, how my energy moves, only I can know, only I can answer, this is the attitude to be taken.

What is your point exactly? Or just talking to talk

Cry is the only prayer that arrives at God's Heart. Davino

Will it be face to face or online?

@caspex It's fine brother, I've been also there, it gets better with time and discipline. The point is that suffering will teach you. That exam may not go well, it may go horribly wrong. It will torture you so much that you will say enough is enough. Suffering will teach you and you'll learn. Or you can be wise and learn now, do now. In the end, we are as lazy as we can be to get through life (the law of minimum effort). The point is how lazy is that? ... Consider other paradigms where you love so much what you do that you can't wait to wake up in the morning to start working.

Malt has no tolerance Enjoy your trip❤️

@Leo Gura I would love to see you having more interviews and interactions with others. Who is on the other end, I think, is for you to decide. I'm going to start with a macro view and then narrow it down till JP. I'm gonna be honest here, I think your past interviews, both with Curt and Charlie, could have gone much better than they actually did. Maybe I'm used to your solo formats with their high quality and standards, which hardly happen in a two-way conversation. I find that you may lack experience in such style and that there's still a lot of work for you to do to arrive at the quality or potential I know you have. I'm sure you can blow away any committed person in a one-on-one scenario, but that is not what has happened. What has usually happened? Interesting conversations that go back and forth, with rough beginnings, slow acclimatization, and radical claims that put off the audience unaware of your work. In this sense, I expect a more calibrated and personal Leo in an interview, one that connects with the other person, opens up, and establishes a good flow, which wisely guides the conversation and deconstructs paradigms one by one, not choking the neophyte with truth. Having said this, I'm enthusiastic about the chosen topic: God. Really looking forward to it. As you know, it's not about the truth but about delivering Truth, and this is probably what will make the difference in the interview. I don't know what will be your approach or your ice-breaking tools, but my opinion is that you'll have to meet JP where he's at and guide him level by level towards the point where you can drop your atomic bombs. Working inside others' paradigms will signify less initial truthfulness and accuracy, but you gotta warm and juicy up that pussy, or it's gonna be rough af again. In this sense, I recommend you study deeply Christianity and JP's spiritual worldview. Plus, having a fifth sense to know when to strike and when to let go, and to understand the waves that come and go in all conversations on top of the psychological barriers and purging that may happen for both of you in order to rise to the occasion. I believe an acute understanding of Comparative Religion and Christian Mysticism is going to be crucial for unlocking his mind to the Realization that actually Christian Saints like Meister Eckhart, St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Ávila, St. Hildegard of Bingen, and Thomas Merton, among many others, are talking about very similar things: God is Infinite, God is Love, God is deathless, Christ Consciousness. To make JP comprehend within his own tradition the cracks that lead to the actual God, as is the case with all religions. So that instead of deconstructing all his mind, we can find God hidden inside his self, which has gone unrecognized. Moreover, to give him tools and a vision for its full actualization, leading to the eventual collapse of his worldview, ego, and, God willing, to his God Realization. That's my feedback and how I would frame this interview if it were to ever happen.

That sounds very interesting. I'll give it a try. Thanks for the detailed description, I found it very appealing.

Speech leads you to float on the surface. When you take a plunge into the deep source of Joy, your speech is silenced. Only when you float, words come out. Just think of the limitations of your speech. You cannot even half express what you know fully and deeply. Try to understand the eloquent voiceless speech of Reality. ~ Sri Anandamayi Ma

🤯 Fucking brilliant

@OBEler Thanks for your kind words. I have rough edges that I'm still polishing, to get far I had to be ruthless with my own bullshit which sometimes gets me into trouble when such mechanics manifest in other areas besides Philosophy. I'm content to know that my time here actually delivers positive tangible results. At some point one has to asks why am I here anyway, why do I put so much effort in this endeavour. You have actually resolved one of my biggest doubts. Hope clarity hits me like a stick in the head. Although I suspect a long process of maturity is the path that awaits me.

@Princess Arabia If anyone knew how deeply I love this work. It literally brings me to tears every time I reflect on it. This my life, this is why I'm alive and why I continue to live. I'm usually chill you know me, but I feel kind of bad when Spirituality is abused or misused. Like knowing what is death, this is not a question similar to what I have for dinner, answering such a question solves the human dilemma and the ultimate fear. I don't even know all the ins and outs of it nor to die at peace in Salvia, I just get humbled and scared till I get to the other side. Everyday topics are discussed here with such profanity that it hurts me, like eating consecrated host like bread to make an example. Death with its crudity and psychic grip is one of the most challenging monsters to resolve in life. A dilemma as long as humanity which has been tackled by the greatest minds and Awake mystics since time immemorial. I expect a minimum of consideration for what is being talked about at least, otherwise I become a stupid crazy zen master with a stick. Anyways, gonna retreat to my cave and mind my business Thanks Princess as always your feminine presence is very much needed. I appreciate you very very much, even though we disagree as much as we can!!!

@Princess Arabia I probably need a break from talking about Awakenkng topics. My understanding of Reality is getting very clear and I have a deep respect for this work, an ethic, a seriousness and a quality to it that I cannot expect from others, nor impose. It's like dearly loving something to see it being corrupted and done in ways that lead nowhere. I'm extremely satisfied with what I've realized in my Consciousness and I know its dynamics and what gets results and what doesn't. It pains me to see dozens of people everyday here losing their potential and deluding themselves deeper without any real practice or sacrifice to find Truth. It's in this regard that I'll take a break from this subforum till I find clarity regarding how to communicate better and more effectively topics of such important philosophical relevance as what is Truth, what is death, what is consciousness, what am I, what is God, what is Infinity and so on.

@Princess Arabia Everyone can say it's devilry but I can't point out bullshit? Consider that message was an expression of love and respect. A love to truth and honesty, and an electric shock to wake up from slumber. You want to be a caring mother okay play that role for the baby. I'll be the truthful father and play that role to grow. I'm just fed up with speculation being mistaken with Philosophy or Mysticism. Whatever, I have high standards of what Truth is and this wasn't enjoyable to read. I'm pretty much done with the spirituality subforum, I have been the naive for expecting truthful, conscious and experiential communications from users.

@MarioGabrielJ have you ever died and verified? What is soul? How did you discover your two spirit guides? Can you explain me more? Did you pull all of this out of your ass? Or even worse, did you believe the bullshit of others? How did you come up with this Oscar winning fantasy my friend? You're deluded what can I say. Stop embarrassing yourself and do some introspection on self deception and not knowing. This is a mature place with high standards, don't come with your kindergarten fantasies. I respect where you're at, we can work from there but lmao don't come preaching your nonsense as if you knew better, you honestly don't. I'm sure you barely have done any spiritual daily practice, any retreats, any serious reading, any independent contemplations or psychedelics. All you do is come with your fat ego and spread disinformation. Go to Reddit or other social media, this is not the place, don't lose your time and life.

@LambdaDelta Wow this is very cool. Master of Arts: Psychedelics and Consciousness Studies Lmao, imagine Consciousness Studies being a department in all universities, using tools like entheogens for cutting edge research. Although requirements seem much more heavy in the ottawa innernet for the Master. It's honestly the first time I see a serious university making a serious degree in Psychedelics+Consciousness. This is huge, I would love to study something among these lines.

Please post here any jokes regarding Trump, Biden and the like. Make it humorous and not weponized comedy. I loved the above video, it's brilliant

@Jehovah increases yeah, low quality thread in the spiritual subforum, what a surprise.

I tried to explain Solipsism to a mirror, it just repeated what I told him

But Leo! I thought you were real! I thought we were friends! Now it's Me all over the place

Isn't that so tribal? Do you think that in Tier 2 politics conservatives and liberals could work hand by hand? Or are they condemned to be like cat and dog IMO I see so many needles drama and so little results oriented policies that aim at making an impact in the life of citizens. Politics nowadays tend to overcomplicate the already complex

I used to be terrified about losing my mind and turning insane. When I actually became insane I discovered that I liked it. It's like breaking all limits, my mind loses all braking mechanisms and insanity feels like home. You're insane but at the same time all your previous life was neurotic insanity now for the first time I am insanely conscious, insanely alive and insanely free. Insanity feels like having no limitations whatsoever. No safety mechanisms either. I used to have a drone, you could put it in advanced mode and had more power but didn't have safety features like balancing mechanisms. I could do all sorts of backflips and wild stuff in that mode although I almost crashed it a few times. Something like that exists in the Mind.
