    Desire also plays a major role for the good or for the bad. Depending on the quality of your desires your life will unfold.

    Also I like this quote from Zen Master Dogen: A man of few desires is a happy man

    There are other ways to happiness but that quote is a painfully true when you get it, it connects with zen principles of simplicity and satisfaction.

    I got stoned and slept on the beach in Goa, got ambushed by three trans dudes, chased from my seat and smoked pot on a overcrowded night train, went to a Hare Krishna party at a glitzy temple in Bangalore, climbed a hill and saw monkeys in Mysore, stayed at a children's home and saw a dead sea turtle near Pondicherry, spent new year's eve in Auroville and went to a Cacao ceremony / ecstatic dance party there, ate food from the floor of my Indian host's living room in Trichy, went to the biggest South Indian temple in Madurai, had diarrhea, tripped on shrooms and was attacked by bison in Kodaikanal, roamed through the magical fields of Munnar, took a bumpy bus ride through the beautiful hills of Kerala and arrived yesterday to Kochi, completely exhausted but happy. 9_9

    India is not defrauding you I see

    What about Auroville, could you explain us more?

    “A person who expects this body to be always supernormal in its dealings with the world, will be disappointed, for this little girl acts according to her ‘kheyala’* - whatever it be at any time. In other words, accept what little service you may be able to receive from this child. In what light anyone sees this little girl depends on his ideas and attitude of mind. To her everything appears delightful.” 
     ~ Anandamayi Ma

    *kheyala: (spontaneous intrinsically-egoless divine will). Sanskrit word very ofthen used by her, to explain why she did or did not do anything at all. Kheyala carries meanings such as impulse, spontaneity, improvisation and intuition. A famous type of Indian improvisational music is also called “kheyal.” This is one of the most repeated themes of her life. In her last days before mahasamadhi when asked why she didn't heal hearself as she had done in the past she simply said; There is no kheyala. While in the past she used to answer: you come to this body and I welcome you, so sickness comes to this body so I welcome sickness; There is nothing but God Alone. At other times, she made known and unknown yogic asanas and pranayamas, healing herself. In whatever scenario, everything was her Kheyala...

    I respect his decision but he could explain himself in a few minutes and leave things clear

    I don't know something like: I woke up so deeply that I need some time for myself. I'll keep you updated.

    Or, I'm dealing with some health issues. I want to take care of myself and rest now, my priorities have changed.

    Or, I'm burnt out I need some time off Actualized.org I don't know when I'm coming back.

     

    His silence is all together strange and I think as an audience we deserve better. Most people here have really followed Leo's work for years and are genuinely interested in his wellbeing. So after half a year I expected a more clear communication from him, a video in the blog, I don't know something. But as I've said in the first line, I totally respect his decision and I'm sure he has his reasons, but that's how it feels from the other side.

    The letter: To know you are always near, though physically you may be far away, this experience can only come by your Grace. It seems impossible for me to attain it through my own efforts. 

     

    Mataji's reply: You must know Him in such a way that no place remains where He is not. According to Vaishnavite terminology there is viraha and milana (separation and union). But this viraha rasa, this experience of profound yearning for God after having known union, is not like the worldly sense of separateness, which means not knowing the other, being unfulfilled. 

     

    Everything comes by His Grace alone 

    - this of course is a fact.

    You experience as your own the power He has vested in you. Apply it in His service to the utmost of your capability, whatever be the nature of your approach, whatever your line.

    if you have a kundalini you know something is there.

    Kundalini is wild. I had kundalini experiences that where like psychedelic trips for days non stop.

    I think the chakra are more real than what normies think life is, ultimately not real

    It's funny because the more you open your chakras the more they disappear. This connects also with vipassana and why they are both so connected.

    Yoga masters say the moment you fully make energy spin through all your chakras and nadis, you won't feel them anyomore. The same as vipassana masters say that there will be a point where everything becomes empty; and full simultaneously.

    I find this dialogue to be rather amusing:

    Question: God has given us the sense of "I", He will remove it again. What need is there for self surrender?

    Answer: Why do you ask? Just keep still and do nothing.

     

     Question: How can one possibly keep still?

    Answer: This is why self-surrender is necessary

     

     Question: What is the means of entering the tide?

    Answer: To ask this question with desperate eagerness.

     

    If you say you have no faith, this body insists that you should try to establish yourself in the conviction that you have no faith. Where 'no' faith is, 'yes' is potentially there as well.

     

    Worship is not a ritual: it is an attitude; it is an experience.

    The state in which I am talking to you, laughing and lying down; and again, the state during kirtan where there is rolling and so many other manifestations of this body, are definitely the same state. 

     

    Everything is happening from that one state. Again during Puja etc. where a particular God or Goddess was worshipped, the likeness of that God or Goddess, the posture, the mudra (orientation of fingers), the energy etc. and all other things, manifested in this body in their exactness. Not that it is imagination. It is like you are evident (before me).

    Chakras, Kabbalah, Vipassana or Bioenergetics/Psychosomatic medicine are different tools for the full dissolution of all solidities in the body-mind.

    Chakras:

    The only reason we don't feel in perpetual oneness with reality is because of the clenched like fist, body-mind we carry.

    Clench your fist hard now with me. It does seem there is something in there, the more you hold it, the more real it seems.

    Now relax and open, there never was there anything to begin with.

    To arrive to this full opening into centerless spatial 360º awareness, one may use any of the technologies mentioned above, depending on individual inclinations.

    For example, I don't recommend Kabbalah for being unnecessarily esoteric but it works. Kriya yoga/Kundalini yoga are more of a body energetic approach to dissolve the body. Vipassana is more of a mind approach. Bioenergetics is very good for a western psyche, it all makes so much more sense than oriental techniques, because the same experience is translated to your conditioning.

    The Supreme duty of man is to undertake the quest for his true being, whether one takes the path of devotion, Where the 'I' is lost in the Thou' or the path of self-inquiry, in search of the true ‘I’ it is He alone who is found in the Thou as well as in the ‘I’

    I turned into a wreck, it was like it was raining inside me like a huge storm was passing through and I just felt incredibly lonely and sad for most of the day. Alot of things came up which seemed to amplify that emotion or attach themselves to it.

    But I want to be able to do that naturally. And when I wake up, I feel disconnected from the rest of my body. On psychedelics, I feel like so much more elastic and connected, like I'm not just a brain stearing the body but each part has its own consciousness that I'm navigating in a decentralized manner.

    This is the difference between peak vertical spirituality and wide horizontal spirituality

    What can I do to feel like that naturally? I want to, I seek it, it's the intent behind grasping psychedelics, if I feel into that intent, what can I do to manifest it. How can I do that? Feeling connected on one hand. But how far does it stretch, can I make my vision wave on purpose like high doses? How do I navigate and access the intent within me? I seem far more compartmentalized and slower, less capable and with lower capacity when I'm not on psychs.

    Many hippies in the 60' had the exact same realization you are having now, and turned into meditation, yoga, introspection and so on, to make it an everyday present stable and continious reality. In fact, the meditation I shared with you the other day about Michael Thaft, he has over a thousand LSD trips under his belt, which puts in the right context his whole spirtual practices.

    I seek the base feeling, the root of change. The depth of motivation. The cause of emotion, the cause of feeling. I want to change myself from the core. On psychedelics, I feel my eyes widen, I feel the cosmic string at the back of my neck, I feel the consciousness itself expanding, the energy flowing, an intense gaze, focus. How can I access that, that which connects everything. The root consciousness that builds a system upon itself. The deep awareness that I don't usually have enough energy to access.

    You have taken the shortcut of psychedelics and now seen its limitations, you are being disillusioned. That's good. Peaks are as important as it gets. Horizontal base and foundation of consciousness is as necessary as it gets.

    Can you even sit 15min in peaceful present meditation? 

    There you have it..

    what is your main spiritual practice that you hit every day?

    There you have it.. and you say you want to wake up? You are just kidding yourself

    Shadow work and personal development are also of utmost importance.

    Does MALT have dangerous pharmacology?

    I'll explain one story about malt

    Some time ago I wanted my best friend to try malt. He wasn't feeling at 100% as he was struggling with kidney stones for some weeks taking medication and so on, however he really felt like it. I would probably should have thought about this more carefully honestly.

    The moment he takes Malt, he starts feeling bad, real bad. The situation got into a point where he was in the bathroom purging and sweating real hard. He stared at my eyes and said this sentence that I'll never forget: "Bro I feel very bad, what can I do?" To which after some thoughts of ambulance and talking with his family crossed my mind, I said trust the proccess, let's work through it and just do what the energetic proccess tells you to do, go with it.

    He then starts really purging out, ayahuasca style, I put arround him some chinese cream that I felt would help and it did help. Then the process went a bit down, but started again, you know like waves we all have been in a psychedelic. Strong waves and pain in the kidneys came to him. 

    Eventually, he started feeling better and more at ease. We ended up in the garden chilling at the sky, in profound silence and satisfaction with life. He felt like a new man and happily he left my home. After giving him some indian ayurvedic medicines to help him: triphala, ashwaganda and neem; we said each other goodbye.

    He then told me he felt incredibly better the next day regarding his Kidney stones and 2 days after of the trip he was healthy again.

    Did Malt miraculously heal him? I don't know but the purge was extreme, I have to tell you that. I took a minimum ammount of 5mg, to be in the zone with him and it felt like I took 15mg just to show how intense the shared feelings of energetic unblocking where, almost like dripping from the skin of so many energy.

    Do I recommend it or would I do it again? Hell no, this was dangerous and unforeseen. A huge mistake that could have lead to injury due to bad chemical interactions between drugs and even death. Nonetheless, without making strong correlations, I can assure you that the trip absolutely helped him to unblock energetically the stones in the kidneys and other issues in his life. One of those stories I'll remember my whole life for sure.
