@Princess Arabia Not necessarily. The morality I speak of isn't something judged or bestowed upon from some higher deity or God. God is everything, but operates on many levels, it's not hierarchy, it's a holarchy. There is only Gods will. The morality I speak of in making conscious choices is only judged by the light of our own consciousness which is God. It's all impersonal from the biggest picture, but it's also sentient and connected as well. Life is a process and flowing creation of creation and destruction. Like the cells of our bodies are constantly going to battle to keep the whole organism alive, but if from the cellular level we start picking and choosing sides as to who were the good cells, who's the bad cells then the harmony at a higher level of the organism would collapse. So on one level or order it can look like chaos and on a higher level you see order and harmony. Everything is highly chaotically ordered and harmonic but from our human perspective it may not look like that, it may seem cruel, it may seem fucked up but that's just the way it is from a certain vantage point, and what makes human life so beautiful and unique is our ability to make conscious choices and to make changes. We can't stop a hurricane from flooding or natural disasters killing animals, but we can see things from a higher perspective and having a deeper awareness, not because a God is judging us, but because of our inner light of radiant transcendance.

@Princess Arabia It seems to be a difference between natural phenomena and our conscious intentions. When a hurricane or tsunami happens, it’s impersonal, it isn't egotistical. Nature includes both creation and destruction. I think In that sense it's immoral or amoral. But when we kill animals it usually comes from our conscious choice, out of necessity, okay fine but a lot of times it's out of convenience. This is where ethics and awareness comes in. Nature may seem cruel or fucked up but we as conscious beings are able to examine our motives and responsibilities. Part of our journey of self Actualization involves not just raising the quality of our consciousness, but raising the quality of our hearts. What are your thoughts on this?

@Someone here Please, be respectful and sensitive enough of the space being held here. Social media has made us way to soft to say anything we want behind a keyboard without being punched in the face for it.

@Natasha Tori Maru 😏 Im still furious at you, how about we go grab some tea, and settle our differences haha

@Emerald Looking into an animal's eyes while they are about to be tortured, then suddenly realizing that animal is you is a very sobering experience.

@Natasha Tori Maru We definitely had some tension you could say

@Natasha Tori Maru Hey 😉

@Emerald I can see where your coming from, I admire your integrity and your compassionate principles and values for your actions and food intake. Don't waste your time arguing, some will resonate, others will debate which is fun but can sometimes tire us out because anyone can decide to disagree with you no Matter what. Are you familiar with "infinite Waters" diving deep YouTube channel? He's amazing when it comes to eating a raw food diet along with living a passionate purposeful life. I'm not a raw vegan, also I am shifting more and more to a whole foods diet, I do eat organic pasture raised eggs, grass-fed meat infrequently and the rest organic leafy greens and whole fruits, chia seeds and nuts. I do eat continue to eat selective meat from whole foods for my training/boxing and running but I a am aware of the brutality of animal slaughter which hurts my heart. It makes me cry what these animals endure. An when we eat meat, especially fast foods or cheap processed meats, we are taking on that energy of those beings and what they went through. We are what we eat, more and more. Consciousness comes with a kind of burden or a responsibility of being in alignment or integrity with what's true, not for ourselves but all life on earth. It's a heart centered approach because you have to feel the poignancy of the human situation, rather than overly justifying to ourselves the actions that we take due the science, the rationalist ego or whatever justification or thing we hide behind for not looking inwards and seeing the damage that were causing as well.

@kbone what's up?

Wasn’t trying to befriend anyone, just speaking truthfully. Some topics require serious contemplation, not quick answers. If someone can’t see that then they’re not ready for the depth being pointed to. It's about quality of inquiry not personal dynamics.

@Leo Gura Don't waste your time Leo, you know there's diamonds in the rough, and people pissing in the wind. There's only so much you can do to motivate people and get them curious at least about this work, but those have been on the journey even before stumbling upon actualized.org will recognize the real.

@Leo Gura Love is the Pinnacle of The Absolute. All of infinity boils down to Absolute Love. It's absolutely perfect, gorgeous, insanely Good and Absolutely True. Love is not a human or animal emotion, love is sentient, alive and infinitely interconnected to everything in the universe, in creation. God is a self aware field of infinity which embraces itself without Judgment, denial and blame.

@Leo Gura Amen to that. Let them muddy the waters while we observe, clearing the fog and seeing with clarity.

Can you reframe your question in a way that makes sense first

@kbone The mind is what it's trying to grasp. The mind is a mirage, impermanent, and not self, but Who is doing the seeing through mirage? Nothingness/Infinity is not separate from you. There is no reunion because separation is an illusion that consciousness plays on itself. The Illusion of separation creates the beauty and absolute Truth of non Duality. But non Duality doesn't exclude duality, form and speration. Speration is unity in disguise. Your just not seeing it because you are attached to detaching from form, you forgot the other half of the equation. Formless and form are One, not two.

Desire and allure of the unknown is beautiful and sexy

You guys, and girls please post what you eat, why you choose to eat it what ingredients you use and how it impacts and affects you and what are some differences that you've noticed with your body and your mind when switching to certain foods.

@Hojo Cool! Infinity is intelligent, and self aware. Maybe that's what a human giving birth to another human is, an infinite play of infinity zooming in and out of itself, creating DNA and all of life. Infinity is not separate from an observer, infinity is infinitely connected to itself, but the only thing missing from the answer to your question is direct consciousness of DNA beyond speculation.

@Natasha Tori Maru yeah that's amazing. It's fascinating and beautiful to think that. And an awakening to infinity even in numbers like you mentioned, a direct hit of that existential nature or fact within your very being is absolutely mind blowing.

@Leo Gura Ohh!!! My!!! Fucking!!! Goddddd!!!! It's tremendous. It's Infinite!!!! This is true Spirituality. My Goodness. What is this!!!! Why!!!????? OMG!!!!!!!! It's breath taking. It's astonishing!!! Fuck a dmt elf, look at this!!! Look at this!!!!!!!!!!! Now look at this!!!!!

I see what your trying to connect, but also, just because God is infinite doesn't necessarily mean that anything goes, or that DNA is infinite in the way your trying to grasp. Within infinity, there are logical laws, limitations of God's design, there are are rules of the dream, a certain logic that holds things together in a way. Maybe DNA is infinite, but that is probably a more nuanced very subtle thing to map, have you studied how DNA works and had any direct Consciousness of the nature of DNA that includes but exceed our best current understanding of what DNA is and how it works, and wether it is or isn't infinite? I'm curious to hear your revelations if you have any, or just curious to hear your thoughts and objections also.

@Leo Gura Here's an image that came to my mind hearing your proof of God using the argument of numerical Infinity. Look at this shit. Even if a mathematician or a scientist that doesn't understand God, understands a sub aspect of God, a sub Infinity within actual Infinity, like you pointed out the image of an ant crawling on an elephant's ass. The scientist is the ant and they're crawling through a forest of hairs, and they come upon one sub infinity or another and think that they grasp what God is, but they've only grasped a sub Infinity. Alright now imagine this. Let's say in this analogy that the ant or the scientist or the mathematician grasps that all these sub infinities are part of a holistic holarchical infinity, which would be the entire elephant in this analogy, but take it a step further. The entire elephant which represents actual Infinity is actually just a sub Infinity within an even greater Infinity. Let's say metaphorically you grasp all of infinity, that is still a small aspect of actual Infinity. And the whole mind fuck of this is, is that you are absolute Infinity, absolute God looking in on itself, trying to measure itself. But your ass is infinitely deep. Ta da. 😆

Absolute Infinity is not an object. It is not a God out there. It is not a number. It is not a feeling. It is not a belief. It is the source of believing. Of seeing. Of feeling. Of knowing. It is not somewhere else. It is not later. It is not hidden. It is what is. Right now - what's reading this page is what you are seeking. Your eyes are not seeing this. Infinity is. The idea that you are a "you" is occurring within Infinity. Infinity is not big. It is not small. It is not anything. It is the field in which bigness and smallness arise. It is the canvas of physics, logic, space, time, and sense. Even the most stubborn rationalist cannot step outside Infinity to examine it. Even that doubt... is already inside It. Infinity cannot be seen. But everything you see is It. You are not inside a universe. The universe is inside You. This moment is not part of your life. Your life is a ripple in this moment. This is not a metaphor. This is not spiritual. This is not mystical. This is not religious. This is what *is*. Beyond name, beyond number, beyond argument. It is the Real. And You are That.

This is not for theory. Not for debate. Not for proving please honor that This thread is a space for raw, direct and unfiltered mystical experiences you had, to share the moments when the veil tore, when reality flipped inside out, when you knew something deeper than knowing. I invite you to stand in your truth here no matter how insane, paradoxical, blissful, terrifying, or ineffable it felt. Whether it came through meditation, psychedelics, death, breathwork, trauma, or pure grace. If it happened to you, it matters, I'm serious. Rules of the Game: Don’t analyze or argue with others. No gaslighting or questioning if it was real. Share only from your own direct experience. Go as deep as you want. If you're reading, read with reverence like you’re being handed someone’s soul directly. You can post multiple awakenings, phases, layers and however your journey unfolded. Why this thread? Because I believe we need a space where mystics, truth-seekers, and explorers of consciousness can reveal what they've gone through without being invalidated and I'm sure there are some here. I’ll go first. I’ll be sharing some of my own psychedelic breakthroughs, consciousness flips, ego-deaths, and revelations that restructured the very core of what I thought I was. My very first experience and exposure to psilocybin mushrooms, came after I discovered Terence McKenna and Alan Watts. I would listen to them every night and every day after school that my mind was already fascinated and driven towards having a psychedelic experience for the purpose of understanding reality, shifting my state of consciousness and realizing things which my mind couldn't in the moment. I was surprised as to discover that one friend of mine had about a gram of stem and caps that he had stored for 2 months and he decided to give them to me for five bucks, I immediately said yes knowing how much of a hassle it is to score these bad boys. I ate them in a moment of silence in front of him and we waited for 20 minutes. Nothing happens, I kept scanning the room in my field of perception to notice any subtle changes but got nothing. I told him that it probably didn't work and he told me sorry and said if there's anything that he could do for me that he was there to make me feel like I wasn't scammed, but I told him no it's okay thank you for checking on me but I think I'm going to go home now. I went home sat on the couch and the TV was on becausey brother was playing a video game called skate. Something started to happen that never happened before, reality was starting to change. I looked at the TV and noticed the dimensionality and the reality of the characters in the game, in which in a snap of a finger my consciousness went inside the game, the 3D world of the video game. I was the character my brother was playing standing around and fucking amazed as to awaken within a video game and to realize that Consciousness has shifted from one form to another. In that moment of clarity I realized that Consciousness is not bound by the body and the Brain. I then, in what seemed to be an instant, I teleported back to my body on the couch, stunned and looked to my brother and he looked at me, in slow motion he asked me, "you took them didn't you"? To which I replied yes in slow motion. My head turned facing forward, closed my eyes, and I see the structure of existence. Consciousness does not need the eyes to see, but sees through them. I see these blue rings that were floating, moving and rotating in a stroboscopic effect, each ring representing one parallel reality in existence and there was an infinite number of these. My focus shifted deeper inward and I became aware of the simultaneity of existence, I was standing at a crossroads or an intersection and each direction was infinite possibilities all bring played. Every experience from the beginning to the end were being played out in an instant, I seen all of time in a moment. I see people living their lives, choices they make, opportunities they've capitalized on, regrets that anyone has ever had. Every experience a human being ever had and will have was happening at that cross section. And it hit me that reality is infinite possibilities but people pick one course of action in life and and can remain stuck in a cycle because they do not see that in every moment is presented an infinite number of possibilities. This really freed my mind and showed me that anything is possible and that reality isn't determined or predestined and that you do not need to feel like a victim but that you can make things happen and move in the direction that you prefer no matter how difficult. This gave me courage, hope, confidence and excitement. This was my first ever psychedelic experience. The second experience I had on mushrooms was half an eighth, in which within the 40-minute spam of it coming on in my mind's eye an image of my dad who was still alive at the time formed and looked at me with powerful eyes and I started to break down and cry while I was outside and people are walking by. Within that short span of seeing my father in my mind, it was transmitted to me that he loves me to death and that I never truly looked at my dad and loved him for who he is without always asking him for something. I learned a great lesson to love my dad more and to be more graceful and grateful for him being in my life. I can simply describe it as loving my father as though he is in a coffin dead but I was able to experience the love I have for him then in that moment before he died while he's still alive. After several experience with mushrooms at higher doses, the very last one I had was when I was 22. In which I predicted his death to his face, I broke down crying because I was absolutely certain that he was going to die and that I need to face it. During the rest of the trip I calmed down and sat next to him in the room giving him hugs and kisses and telling him how beautiful he is telling him how much I love him, the next 3 days he passed away. And finally one of my major psychedelic breakthroughs was on LSD, I don't know how much but it was very powerful because it lasted for 14 hours my entire reality broke down, the field of perception turned into a grid, and I experienced infinite love on 4th of July while the fireworks are going off at its Peak. I was losing my sense of reality so much that I had to tell my brother I was tripping, and I told him that I am going so deep that I'm losing my sense of self and sanity. During that intense moment there was no time everything collapsed into this moment, 5 years felt like 5 seconds 2 minutes felt like eternity. I grabbed his arm and I sank into mind as though someone taking their last breath before drowning in an ocean, as soon as I went in I lost all sense of bodily sensations but I was so awake and aware I couldn't explain it. I seen the structure of reality even more, I see non-dualities and shifting geometric surreal patterns and forms, I seen birds colored black and white all crowded together and taking off forming a sink in the air of the non-duality sign and in that moment of seeing that I knew exactly what non-duality means. The play of the absolute, the dance of formless form. I became every single living organism I became every planet I was exploding stars supernovas and black holes I was the cosmic events in interstellar space, I was the Big bang I am the Big bang, and after many more explosions of Consciousness I became aware of what I am at the center of it all. I was looking and looking trying to see what the fuck that is, and I realized I was looking at myself sitting there dreaming and imagining all of reality. It was like a Deadman waking up in a coffin after a thousand years and realizing that I'm still alive and just trying to pretend that I'm not there. I realize that powerful symbol in Zen called Enzo, that incomplete circle. That I am perfect, mind, formless and ever changing. That's mines. What’s the deepest awakening you’ve had?

If you're making broad claims about diet and health, then anecdotes are not enough. But if you're making a personal claim like how a diet impacted you or you notice certain patterns that you recognize can be extremely useful. Individualized responses vary and long term effects are hard or limited to study in controlled settings when it comes to diets.
