I don't have any horses in this race. I'm just pointing out that polarity is very important in relationships. I don't know OP's GF. They could be feminine, or don't. I'm just pointing out that shifts in that energy might affect the relationship. The whole "it doesn't change anything" argument is biased and lacks nuance. That's it.

This ignores completely how polarity is related to attraction. I don't think your commentary integrates well the different nuances that are implied when someone identify with a different gender and how that affects their personal relationships.

Literally kill. 50k USD is life-changing money in most parts of the world.

What exactly do you mean by yourself?

The next stage helps you survive better. When everyone is Biege, being Purple gives you more coordination and allows for division of labor and efficiency. Being Red in a Purple environment allows you to secure more resources for yourself and your close peers. Leo explains this in the main video of the spiral dynamics model. It's worth a rewatch.

Lula supports many things, few related to consciousness. You can buy mushrooms online cheaply and legally. I would say a 3g trip would cost you around R$ 50.

I watched two videos from Leo yesterday. One was based on the framework for knowledge and the other one was the reasoning behind the deletion of the solipsism video. I had an insight that synthesized a few points from both of them, that to know what spirituality and god are, you have to deeply inquire about your own beliefs and perspectives. To do so effectively is useful to listen to Actualized.org, read philosophy, or study spirituality, but as soon as you got those resources together, you have to shed the bool sheet from them and directly know god and reality through your own experiences. That's why he keeps saying no one is awakened. We are stuck in plenty of cultural, intellectual, logical, and linguistic concepts of awakening and spirituality, name-calling god instead of experiencing it.

Whenever I feel the urge to point out the lack of development in someone, I remind myself that that urge is a sign of my lack of development. Unless someone explicitly asks me for opinions on whether their behavior is good or bad, in my perspective, I tend to keep my opinions to myself. There's nothing to gain by giving unrequested feedback, in most cases. Calling someone low consciousness does good to no one except for one's spiritual ego.

You seem like a low-confidence person.

The US intervened politically and economically in many nations all over the world. Half of Latin America had their governments and economics tampered with directly by the US. Brazil went through more than 20 years of dictatorship, with the direct influence of the US. Same thing with Chile, Bolivia, and Venezuela. I don't even have to talk about the middle east and Israel. Or the southeast Asian countries. Why bother taking land, when you can destabilize the entirety of the country so you get cheap goods and leave an entire nation depending on you?

As long as you have a solid spiritual and philosophical background and a stable psyche, you can handle the most intense experiences fine. Many people develop a psychological addiction to psychedelics, because of the heightened state it provides. I know, because at some point I experienced something close to that. Psychedelics have a very harsh way of leading you out of this path. Don't be afraid, but don't be naive. Respect these substances and be cautious, but also be open to exploring this realm and see experiences you label as "bad" as an opportunity to see the sides of yourself and the reality that you're neglecting or suppressing.

Hippies are developing themselves the same way squares are developing themselves. Very few people on the planet can actually integrate spiritual work into their lives properly. And judging by the way you talk, you have some of that integration of that sort to do.

I had a very strong fever in my first shot. I had hallucinations completely indistinguishable from reality. I freaked out for a second, but my lsd experiences paid off and I just handled it. hahahahahahaha

I know, but the question is in my point of view meaningless. So I go with an aesthetic joke instead of answering it.

Can you give me your read order? I wanted to dive into Jung for a long time.

The shrimps. They taste better.

You're a living testimony of the american paradox of only studying american history, but not knowing american history. Your country is the one that intervenes the most in the world. The United States has stifled the economy and politics of many countries and has been doing so for over a hundred years. I don't think Putin is an angel, but there is a good reason for China and Russia to protect themselves from the USA's influence. Just because there is communist propaganda, don't fall into the trap of assuming that there isn't capitalist propaganda. Educate yourself more deeply, especially in matters your country doesn't like divulging. Here is a small summary of the kind of things I'm talking about:

Clean trips usually mean less body load, nausea, mental confusion, and etc.

That`s exactly what happened. The amount of pressure that was put on Ukraine in 2013, so it would join the EU, at the expense of the Ukrainian people, since it would severely provoke Russia, the general disregard of Ukraine for the 30% of the Russian-speaking population, that populate the eastern and southeastern portion of Ukraine and the last straw of Ukraine joining NATO is exactly what I would call a threat by the west. Let's remember that NATO was created with the promise of not expanding, and 13 more countries joined it after it was created. If Russia created a military allegiance with Cuba, with the goal of "protecting it from the US", you would explode Havana into a billion pieces before I could smoke a full Cohiba. The West provoked this war in every possible way. They left Putin no other option.

You discovered that you created all this and now you're limiting yourself to feeling bad for the rest of your life? Enjoy your creation the best you can. You're not limited. If you see the meaninglessness about everything, see the meaninglessness in wishing for meaning. Being awake is just seeing through a dream. Being happy requires knowing how to dream consciously.

I had absolutely the inverse experience. I was partying and pissing my life away because of depression and after many LSD trips, I had a really spiritual one. My spiritual work started from there. The best 250ug of my life. And one of the worst ones at the same time.

I kinda lived like this throughout my whole life. I'm seeking to be a "Strategic Motherfucker" from now on. And in this definition intuition plays a big role in it. Since I spent my life developing intuition, what I need is more discipline and analytical thinking. Combining these should take me to next level.

@Leo Gura It is really tough to communicate deep thoughts with people stuck in lower levels of consciousness. Many people misunderstand or misinterpret your words. Be kind to and thank yourself in your path. You take a burden that many wouldn't handle and would have quit a long time ago. Be kind to yourself and don't close your heart to people.

If you care about treating and vaccinating people, knowing if it was a lab leak or not would greatly increase the speed of the development of those measures.

I expect nothing. I'm just stating the fact that they didn't deliver the evidence of a market origin openly. Showing to the world that Trump was wrong would heavily tip international opinion in China's favor. If there wasn't a lab leak, giving the evidence that there wasn't one as quickly as possible would be great for China. The way that they alienate themselves in those moments just worsens the public opinion of them.
