ExploringReality

Yes I have experienced this, while on a Low dose of shrooms under half a gram, or one tab of LSD, my body feels heavy in the beginning, but then my mind becomes one pointed, allowing me to stretch into a full split, my body feels very warm from the energy being released and I do callisthenics and body workouts. My breathing is long and slow. Doing kriya yoga or pranayama breath control for weeks really helps with the breathing from the diaphragm. Practice breathing exercises from Rickson Gracie, wim hoff and kriya yoga practices and you will feel the difference in body awareness and your ability to breathe will transform.

Yes there is a great book on your book list Leo that has helped me tremendously. Also check out Martin ball PhD, there may be something there for you, good luck.

@Leo Gura the state of your followers ahhaa

@Leo Gura Love is the essence of forms. Leo are you into wacky new age stuff? Like channeling, the skingularity, extraterrestrial hybrids on earth, past lives, and all kinds of weird shit? Maybe I'm just prone but when my consciousness fluxuates, I tend to veer off into paranormal energetic New age stuff. Maybe it depends on ones state of consciousness, but I love that shit.

@JayT79 Before taking the mushrooms, spend an hour being still, opening your heart. Think about everyone you love, and forgive anyone who has ever hurt you. Forgive yourself for any wrong doings, think about how precious life is and how miraculous life is. Take the mushrooms on a light stomach, turn of and dim the lights, take of your clothes, and feel your body. Do some stretches and feel loose, loosen your muscles and fall in love with your body. Allow yourself to fully surrender to the experience, trust in yourself, let it come, let it go, don't hold on to anything, it all passes, all flows. ❤️

@OBEler The mind can do anything. I haven't done psychedelics in a 5 years, my last trip was very challenging, the mushroom told me to focus on improving my life situation, save money, take care of my family and focus on my work. Then I can come back when all my ducks are in a row.

@OBEler Our notion of time is linear, I was in a non linear non-local state of consciousness. You think you have a mind that is projecting thoughts, but I can see that reality is infinite mind, not happening to someone. It is happening of itself. It could be from your point of view, it is an experience, I cannot give you that. I am not religious, but I am very inquisitive, love to learn different perspectives and I value consciousness exploration and unraveling deep existential insights. Could be delusional.

@Leo Gura Infinity is love because love is Reality's acceptance and embrace of Itself.

@OBEler Yes, imagine the first time you ever had sex or head until you cum, now take that feeling of exhilaration and excitement a 100,000,000 x more when you discover and Awaken to an existential Truth of Reality. Realizing and having a direct experience of your consciousness being independent of the body brings me exhilaration and awe. Space and time are illusions of eternity and infinity. That same trip I also was mentally in the middle of a crossroads of infinity. I was in the intersection of realities Cross connecting, I could see lives come and go, decisions being made and universes creating and destroying, stars explode, astroids collide, life forming, different species and the struggles of my ancestors all the way to my immediate family.

The very first time I did psilocybin mushrooms I did 0.8 g and I left home after 30 minutes of consumption thinking that it didn't work and my friend told me that he apologized but I told him it's okay I give him a hug I told him thank you and I left. As soon as I went home I sat down on the couch because my body started feeling tingly and the TV was on and my little brother was playing skate game online, then suddenly as I was looking at the TV and the characters inside the video game skateboarding, my entire sense of consciousness jumped out of my body and I went and teleported inside the video game in my Consciousness and the characters became one and I was inside the video game looking around stunned that the character became alive, or rather my consciousness became one with the video game and in that very moment I unlocked a secret of the universe of consciousness and I knew for certain that Consciousness is boundless and without form. Then what would seem like an instant my Consciousness shifted right back into myself on the couch and I looked at my brother and he looked at me and what appeared to be slow motion, he said to me " you took them didn't you"? And I looked at him and smiled. Within 2 to 3 hours of the trip I got so excited but my entire body was stoned and you could just tell I was intoxicated but I grabbed my skateboard ran out of the house and jumped on the bus to take me to the nearest skate park and I got on that bus and I was stumbling and people are looking at me like what the heck lol. But I was so excited to go out and skate and live because I discovered that Consciousness is absolute, because for Consciousness to have the ability to not be bound is extraordinary and gave me so much energy. Before my life was dull and now it is vibrant and alive, I definitely felt motivated if you ask me

@Leo Gura God is an infinite feedback loop. Nothing is truly lost. Creation and Destruction are inseparable.

@mmKay I really resonate with your response 🙏🏽 thank you

Whoaaa!!! Congratulations, as a fellow psychedelic explorer I will check it out.

Being on the outskirts of society for me was being outside and trying to understand the social condition, my indoctrinations and questioning the status quo. I read books on psychedelics and non Duality before I experimented with them. I always took seriously to do homework on substances or foods before I take them, but realized everyone around me just took anything they thought would get them high, well low actually haha unconsciousness. There is a paranoia when I'm about to take a psychedelic because the legal status and the stupidity of people's minds and opinions and people can easily mess with your mind energetically. I've never tried anything except tryptamines and cannabis.

The word drug wasn’t created by the government, but its meaning was politicized and manipulated to control public perception. This blurred the lines between harmful substances and those with potential benefits (like psychedelics). The real issue is how the narrative around "drugs" has been shaped, not the word itself. Especially when we're young we get taught that drugs are bad, and were given very poor examples of people, family, and others using drugs such as nicotine, cigarettes, alcohol and other harder substances. We aren't taught and educated enough on the history of drugs, evolution of mankind's relationship and transition's of plants and substances to distinguish between good drugs and bad drugs. Drugs that lower consciousness and health vs drugs that raise consciousness and are non dependent. Of course addiction is an important thing, but teaching people that the culture and media of drugs portrayed is not only misleading but is rigged against you. Why is alcohol accepted and encouraged but mushrooms and dmt are not? We live in a twisted society. Drug choice is important and education on which drugs are beneficial and which drugs are not. Let's face it, your brain and body is made of drugs, neurotransmitters. Brain soup of drugs and chemicals. You can't escape this no matter what, your always using drugs, foods, spices, herbs, plants and synthetic drugs.

@Princess Arabia Maybe it was him, maybe it wasn't. But the information is clear.

@Leo Gura Those are some gnarly practices that are most direct and designed to not fuck around. What about your video "How to become enlightened"? That's some powerful shit right there.

Awakening

Practice the art of shutting the fuck up. When you have an impulse to say something, tell yourself to shut up, sometimes you must police yourself, but balance it out with understanding your addiction to speak and give yourself that loving reminder to let whatever your mouth wants to say go.

@Someone here I'm just framing it as a serious inquiry and highlighting the significance of the desire for Truth. Yes Truth contains all answers. There are no observers, there is only Truth. Truth is trying to dig in its own asshole to see itself.

@Leo Gura What am I? Truth. What is Truth? That's a helluva question. That ain't no trivial matter. What the fuck is reality???????? Ahhhhhhhhh fuck!!!!!!! What is Existence?!!!! This is the fire for wanting Truth and nothing else. I want to be fucked by Truth. I want to fully open up to the magnitude of infinity.

@Leo Gura I literally said this to myself before reading your response. Synchronicity.

Nothingness is what is happening. Nothingness is not separate from something. But what is Nothing? Is a great question. It cannot be pointed too, it can only be realized. Too be conscious of Nothingness is to see the hollowness of reality, what helps is to have a boundary dissolving experience in which your sense of solid reality breakdown and melts. When your entire reality flips inside out, there is no out there, it is all happening in the Mind. But not your mind, this mind is the mind of the Universe. This Mind is empty of itself but contains all form. This empty Nothingness is the intelligence of creation. It is Infinite Consciousness. You can feel like your going crazy because all experience is universal and there is no focal point to which you can point to yourself, there is no you, and the inside and outside become One. Which is not the nothing you think of, you cannot imagine it, it imagines everything. You are it.

This was when I was 15 years old. Everyone was partying, I was skating 😉
