Music is absolutely beautiful and a deep expression of love. Experiencing music on psychedelics can also amplify it… not by volume, but by an increase in raw connection to the Music

Directly be the one who is making that distinction

Sorry to sound blunt, but THIS is all GOD

@Osaid it’s very inspiring and beautiful to read your communications right now. Thank YOU!

It’s like trying to get rid of SMS text messaging and email. There’s a lot to hate about both of them, but they ain’t going away anytime soon.

My friend has bipolar and is studying psych as her major. Her family told her not to do it because it wouldn’t be a high paying career, but she said fuck it and followed her passion anyway.

And don’t forget, legal propaganda also kills!

@integral Well… it’s been a week since you made this post. Have you noticed an uptick in new users?

As silly as it sounds, therapists may actually do this with their patients during interoceptive exposures. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interoceptive_exposure

Yep, there’s more where that came from (Came from God)

That would be perfect for exposure therapy. Some therapists already use VR headsets in their practice for this purpose, but obviously the technology is still in the early stages and will improve over time.

I recommend meditating on this video to gain a new perspective:

Letting go of control and the need to figure anything out is also an option

@UnbornTao And the ultimate teacher is Yourself

(Wanted to reply on there^, but felt it more appropriate on this thread) — Another warning is assuming that there’s 0 chance of harming yourself on cannabis (this includes both marijuana and hemp). As cannabis becomes more widely accepted and legalized all around the world, there’ll be some who use it for hardcore spiritual purposes. It’s likely that those people have little to no experience with altered states of consciousness, may have mental disorders, and will also use cannabis in immature ways. Without proper support and theoretical foundation, they can be led down a dark path without understanding how to get out of it. And like I mentioned before, do not underestimate the power of THC. Even if you take a product with higher CBD to help balance the psychoactive effects, THC is still not to be messed with. I’m super sensitive to THC… even a 0.5mg change in THC can acutely alter my state of consciousness. Keep in mind I take cannabis oil prescribed to me by a doctor, which has strict testing and regulations in place. Because of this, I know exactly how much CBD and THC I’m getting. Depending on where you live, however, this may not be the case for you (e.g. USA). You’re probably taking more THC than what your product claims and even heavy metals and contaminants, even if you buy yours legally. The good news is when your support system is fortified and constantly improving, cannabis can definitely be used in positive ways. And by positive, I don’t just mean getting high and mellowing out, I also mean facing parts of yourself you don’t want to face and bringing up traumas you didn’t know existed. —- Here’s a story of a kid who used it immaturely, which ultimately led to his own suicide. This scenario, while rare, is not impossible: https://www.rmpbs.org/blogs/rocky-mountain-pbs/mother-is-desperate-to-warn-others-about-the-harms-of-thc-concentrates/

What would limit GOD from creating parts of itself? Limiting Reality to being effortless is a mistake. This is the most unfortunate trap of nondual teachings.

Ehh, that’s what autopay is for. And DoorDash. Just be careful not to use these tools as a way to avoid hard work. Most people do.

More and more, whenever deep bouts of fear arise, it becomes directly clear that not only am I creating the fear, but anybody I reach out to for help is also me, because I’m communicating with Myself! Sounds scary, but from higher perspectives it’s clearly seen as Love. This is exactly what we are avoiding. Love! It’s so beautiful; it can annihilate all previous notions you have of yourself the deeper you let it in!

@Princess Arabia Thank you

I’d say both.

I don’t hear anybody complaining that dinosaurs and neanderthals are extinct.

I’m 27 as well, so I can relate to your struggle. Trust me, it’s never too late to change the course of your life. This will require gradually shedding away old beliefs you have about yourself and discovering new perspectives. Like zooming out and seeing the bigger picture, giving you more clarity about who you are. Making a long-term commitment towards forgiving yourself is helpful. It’s not about ignoring and forgetting the pain and regret, it’s about a deep acceptance of yourself. And realizing that you can still move forward despite your circumstances. // (Imagine shedding away old beliefs as organically losing layers of yourself that’ve been weighing you down + giving you a false sense of protection, rather than pushing it away.)

Sure there’s value. For example, if you’re afraid of talking to girls, but deep inside you want to talk to them and get to know them. The solution isn’t to avoid them. Doing that makes it worse in the long-term. Instead, you want to make a commitment to talk to them gradually and learn that you can handle it. With repeated practice the fear can transform into excitement.
