I often wonder what percentage of people on the forum believe they understand God but conform to Leo's experience as a higher authority. Taking it on as truth without direct experience because, after listening or reading what Leo has to say for hundreds of hours, it "just makes sense" Then they start to see the world in a similar light to Leo, without ever getting there themselves. Note: I am not the exception I bring this up because although I have had enlightenment experiences and awakenings, including a solipsism awakening (I am happy to dive into what chain of events led to all of that, but that's not the main point of this post), I have NEVER taken a psychedelic. I don't know how much deeper there is to go, but another part of me feels as though I don't need to go any deeper. I know Peter Ralston does not use psychedelics. I don't follow his work deeply atm. I will dive into him deeper, but I feel as though I have had more of a Ralston experience so far, rather than what Leo talks about specifically. However, through my own experience combined with Leo's information, it's as though my perspective on things leans more towards Leo than purely how Ralston sees things. I don't see Leo as the ultimate Authority of my mind, but I can't help but admire his commitment to this path and all of the deep information he shares in contrast to others. What amount of this is conforming vs. contemplation and direct experience? I guess only I am to know. However, if I had a true God awakening, then I don't think I would occasionally put myself under such doubt... but then again, maybe this doubt is healthy. Maybe I only doubt because I take Leo seriously, so I would like to experience 5meo to see what that is like, vs. what I have had... It's like everything in me is saying, "You get it :)" because I really feel as though I do... but then a little voice says, "Do you really?"

@Joseph Maynor What you said is going over my head. What do you mean?

Curious. Is this coming from a place of having tested 5meo and others, or a similar feeling of not knowing if you need them?

@Natasha Tori Maru I like it when women are nice, but not nice in a way where they are being fake. I would rather someone be able to express how they feel and not conform to what I think, without ever letting themselves have a voice. I try to give everyone a voice, but I have known some women who like me enough to the point that they shove down what they think and conform to me...

@Olaf I can't tell if you are serious

Proud stage purple here

What is really interesting about this is his stage blue, Christian parents, and family. They acted like he was Satanic and were trying to force him into a "Normal Life." There is more to the video than this. Let me know if you find it interesting. Obviously, you don't have to watch the entire thing unless you want to.

@Yimpa Thanks

@Davino Wow, nice video

Is that based on the subreddit you were in, or ALL of Reddit?

I think the biggest thing is that I feel like those 4 years or so could be spent deepening my knowledge in other helpful ways. 4 years down the drain feels like a bit of a waste now.

On another note, even after watching that video, I am not sure if I should go to college for a psychology or neuroscience kinda of degree or not. I am 24, and I would like to help others with deep emotional intelligence from an enlightenment angle, kind of like Joe Hudson or Byron Katie, but in my own way. Do I need a degree to be supported in this? I don't think I do; I have done some college and know how to use an academic mind when needed. At the same time, maybe having their general baseline knowledge and the credentials could help... It's interesting, at least. I mean, it's all so fuzzy right now. I will just start saving up money while I figure it out. Any thoughts from those here?

This dude made a video that might help you. https://www.actualized.org/articles/should-you-go-to-college

@Yimpa

Why should I care where I go after I die? If the basis of my sense of self is illusory, then all of the worries about going to one place or another don't matter much. In death, I might be a bit scared if I am not fully egoless in that moment, but as I am now, the parts after it don't matter much. Whatever is, already is. I just want to keep on growing myself consciously while I am here, understanding reality deeply, fully loving, mastering survival, and enjoying this dream. Worrying about what happens next? Why should I? It will happen. There will come a time. That's fine. Knowing I will die helps me appreciate living that much more. It's like Leo says: We invented death. I cry blissful tears at the beauty of reality. The beauty of God. Edit: This doesn't directly address your concerns, but I don't know if I can engage with them in a way that might satisfy you. I just wanted to write about my own experience instead. Maybe you will take something from it? If not, no worries.

So OBE for you is simply lucid dreaming, not a full on leaving your body and exploring things around you in the same world we are in as we are awake. Being able to figure out small number sequences on pieces of paper another person makes, traveling and sinking under the ground to see things like under the pyramids. Etc. That's what was interesting to me. Lucid dreaming feels too normal. I used to do it as a child all the time. I had a lot of nightmares and would recognize it was just a nightmare, make friends with them. Manipulate reality. Fly. I could spawn in anyone I wanted to. I was a really sexual kid and since I knew it was a dream world, I definitely sexually harassed dream people, even in front of others, like an animal. Since I did not think it mattered, it didn't. The people would not care much either. I had a lucid wet dream many times where I would ejaculate irl when having dream sex. What i would want to try if I do it again is to use dreams to contemplate or solve outside dream problems while I sleep. Imagine how difficult it could be but how rewarding. Anyway, that's lucid dreaming. Astral projection and OBE are not the same to me. Have you heard of true OBE before? I dont know if it's real or not but apparently some test it.

@jjer94 thank you my friend

@jjer94 I like your use of songs at the end of your comments. Great touch. I searched Medical Medium and found this post. I have a friend who is a dietitian. We went over a lot of Medical Medium information together. I wanted to hear her thoughts. She said that you don't need as much protein as people are brainwashed into believing. Not that it isn't important. She's also vegetarian and seems fine on that diet. As am I. Anyway. We looked at his stuff, and most of it is solid health information, but with a marketing gimmick on top of it. Something did not fit right with it to me either. Especially after having to leave religion in the past, along with MANY other traps I kept falling into on my journey so far. However, I have a friend who does it strictly. Religiously. She is into it and trusts the information about angels and entities. She also channels the goddess Isis. I had a session with her, and although I am not aware of how channeling works, it genuinely helped me... SO because I don't understand it, I can't dismiss it fully. Regardless of how it works or why, it does work in some ways. Undeniable in my current perspective. The same with Medical Medium. She has helped heal many conditions with his information. Would it have worked just as well if she stuck to a diet with similar foods and not his food? No idea at ALL. So... I can't really say much about it. It works for her, but it doesn't always work for others. Is it true? No idea. I lean towards no, but I still respect the perspective and how the information has genuinely helped some people. I would like to commit to it and see how I feel after a few months to a year, but not get dogmatic about it. If it works for me, I will keep it. If not, then I won't. I believe the goal of any healthy diet should be to eat more foods that heal and support your body, in the right balance, in the highest quality possible. So if you want meat, get VERY particular about the kind of meat. Potential heavy metals, hormones. Etc. Also, make sure it is feasible for you to do it. However, knowing you committed to Medical Medium information, I don't think you will have trouble committing to anything else you choose to. Feel in with your body after eating something. See how it feels. If it feels bad, take it as a sign. Intuitive eating. Get in tune with your body and how it feels on different things. For example, I made an error, grabbed Wendy's, and felt like shit after. The brain fog was so terrible. I then proceeded to break my foot the same day. I am not saying it was 100% because of the brain fog that it happened, but it was enough to never eat that slop again. It changes how you feel. The better you eat, the better you will feel... usually. With me, the higher I feel in consciousness and more one with the universe I am, the less desire I have for meat. Is this just a belief I have reinforcing itself? It could be, but that is my experience. So for now, I want to stick to meatless, because I don't like how the animals are treated, nor do I crave meat. Will I be meatless forever? Maybe not. If you want to keep eating the Medical Medium Diet, keep going for it. You could make it hybrid. I know a guy who eats some meat at the end of the day, and the rest is MM. Do what works for you right now. Thanks for sharing your story.

Only if it seems like it will be helpful for them or they wish to understand me. Other than that, not really. I don't find most of it to be helpful to most people. Nobody cares.

@Yimpa Any recommendations?

@Yimpa Wdym unless God wrote it? I don't want to assume I understand.

Useful for understanding attraction at a basic level, but it's not everything. Depending on the woman and how developed you both are consciously, I think there is a LOT more wiggle room than constantly "Holding Frame". You could lose frame, and it would not matter so much. That's what I think, although the concept of frame does make sense generally. It's more of something I hold in my head loosely. Like most frameworks, ultimately, it's not perfect. I think some men would try to hold a frame, but it would be totally fake or repressed. Then they would also hide how they feel about things. Not act as authentically as they really could. Etc. I just act with pure intention, as I am, and meet people wherever they are at. As open and honest as I can be. I am very emotionally stable from all of the work I have done. From Google: Frame: the ability to maintain your mental strength, confidence, and personal reality when facing social pressure or outside stress. That's the basis of what Owen calls Frame. I am sure some people hold it neurotically and repress themselves emotionally to play face, which seems like the core issue with it, if I could name one thing.

Oh, Owen Cook does that all the time now that I think about it. That makes sense. What is your view on Owen Cook these days? I know he was instrumental to you in some way at some point, from a post I read a long time ago. If you could let me know what you think of his concept of "Holding Frame" as well, I would appreciate it.

@Schizophonia How do psychedelics make you less awake sober?

I laughed pretty hard at this... I have to agree. I was only in Vancouver for 1 week, and I noticed a LOT of bugs. Way more than where I am in the USA. Swarms of them. I would walk on the sidewalks and see giant clusters of flies, and those were just the flies. There were a lot of other bugs too.
