That's it!

Also the Truth that people talk about may seem like it's something out there to achieve... But the actual Truth is happening right now as you are reading these words! Awakening! Lol

What humans actually seek is not the Truth Truth, it's the human Truth, and the human Truth is True love between a man and a woman, this is what all the fairy tales are pointing to.

You are just reciting the words heard from someone else, it we would be different if you actually experienced the truth yourself

Lol okay, yet you are posting your ideas with your thoughts about what reality is and THAT is your reality, you are living and experiencing your reality while at the same time denying it

You're on the right track, this entire forum is way too masculine, Leo himself doesn't have any clue what FEMININE actually means. Feminine understanding of the world is what this masculine world desperately needs to understand for the WHOLE of awakening.

"YOU" is the only thing that is "REAL" nothing else matters. "YOU" are the world, you are "EVERYTHING", you are the only one who can know the TRUTH, everything else is "you trying to get your truth from somebody else".

How can there be something from nothing? The ULTIMATE TRUTH is NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. The Terrifying TRUTH of Nothingness. Enjoy!

Thoughts are EVERYTHING. Your ENTIRE LIFE are THOUGHTS. What kind of THOUGHTS are you thinking? That IS your REALITY.

It's all just words that babble on and on, haven't you realized this is the loop you have been in this entire time? The real experience will come from your PERSONAL experience, no ONE can tell you the right way to experience what is TRUE haha.

Satan is very real - it's fear of death, if you have fear, you are creating Evil, you are evil, you are Satan. In Russian language the same word for Evil is the same word for Anger......(Zlo, Zlost') If you have fear, you are creating Evil, weather you want to or not, you're not living, you are surviving, you are creating Evil, you're not really Living.

Sigh.... Just ask yourself these simple questions without getting too philosophical: What does it mean to feel dead? and What does it mean to feel alive? Examples of death: people suffering from depression, anxiety, alcoholism, drug addiction, people in mental hospitals, obesity/over-eating, social anxiety, murderers, suicidal thoughts, psychopaths, people that can't live without pharma pills, Internet addictions - games, porn, social media.... Examples of life: happy kids playing in the playground, laughter, joy, love, happiness, feeling safe, community, healthy family bonds, a sense of belonging, unity, real friends, loving your craft and aligning with life purpose In this world, middle earth, there is nobody who is completely alive or completely dead. To fully die is to be in hell, to fully become alive is to awaken to paradise. What prevents all people to fully become alive is the fear of death. When people die a physical death, they are still alive and the level at which a person is dead or alive will determine their re-incarnation journey.

Have you really ever felt good? I think if you felt good you would want to feel good, everyone wants to feel good. Loving yourself is feeling good and doing things for yourself that bring you closer to love.

Leo, any insights on this?

If everything is conscious, then do things, nature and everything else around us also feel pain when we brake them, cut them or destroy them? Does fully embodying love alleviate the creation from suffering, the pain is still felt but there is no suffering because love is more powerful than fear? So if we would fully embody love than we would alleviate all suffering? Also what would happen if one would embody fear as his Truth?

I think we all can materialize "physical reality" into existence but it's a protection mechanism of consciousness so that we don't end up creating a lot of mess. The dreams show you what is on your subconscious and what needs to be cleansed so it's a good idea to pay good attention. We can either manifest reality from love or fear, think about it and contemplate this deeply, what reality do you want to manifest from fear or love? Compassion for others is also key to creating harmony and peace on Earth, thinking of all of us here on this planet as brothers and sisters instead of "it's just me" and "oh well others are suffering but it's not me". Taking actions from this mindset is crucial, beware of mind trickeries on how it lies and manipulates just for your own safety and survival out of fear mode and always ask the question - is this action loving towards myself and the greater good of all?

So what's the reason you put discovering what's absolutely true as a top value when it has nothing to do with your health? How is it going to improve your life?

Okay, how many times have you realized you are God Leo? Yet...you still have your health problems and after all these years of self development, it looks like your health and energy level has gotten worse. So why would anybody want awakening? Also, I think telling people "to awaken is to realize your are God" is misleading and causes more harm than good. I would suggest that what you and most people actually want is not awakening, but healing. Healing means, getting your life force back, becoming whole, pain free and fully alive. Very few people understand what skillful and effective process of healing looks like. Probably the best book on trauma and how to heal it that has ever been written is called Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma, and this is from the book: "The disconnection between body and soul is one of the most important effects of trauma." We all want to feel fully alive, period. For that you want healing, and for healing you need to understand trauma.

And that's exactly what they talk about in the podcast and what the ICEERS has been created for - to attempt to solve the issues that will inevitably come up with the globalization of these medicines. I was never intending to present this as an easy solution. But at least, we know what the right direction is to restore the balance. Knowing the value of ceremonial approach, community and ancestral wisdom comes from direct experience. It took me more than 3 months to understand what "dieta" is and that's actually possible to connect with "master plants" for healing and guidance - try explaining the value of "connecting with master plants" to somebody who never had that experience, I had very big resistance to this myself even though I've had many mushroom trips before doing a dieta. Also, the most important component of healing with Ayahuasca are the medicine songs which shamans learn from dieting different master plants. They are then able to channel these energies of love and harmony through singing to align and harmonize people on physical, mental, energetic and spiritual levels. So it's not just Ayahuasca, it's the intention of using Ayahuasca for healing and that comes with mastery of plants that you build relationships with over years which all have unique properties to heal different illnesses. Making people understand the importance of connecting with plants and the power of medicine songs is the difficult part.

https://evolvingearthpodcast.com/2019/11/21/10-benjamin-de-loenen-on-ancestral-wisdom-ayahuasca-and-remembering-who-we-are/ "ICEERS is dedicated to transforming society’s relationship with psychoactive plants. We do so by engaging with some of the fundamental issues resulting from the globalization of ayahuasca, iboga, and other ethnobotanicals" This is the most intelligent conversation I found that actually proposes solid Stage Yellow solutions for addressing the root cause of humanity's suffering . They talk about reviving of plant medicine ceremonies within a community, together in a group. Community is the key ingredient, you can't separate individual health from public health and environment, we all know these are interconnected. "Plants are connections to ancestral wisdom that still lives on in the cultures around Amazon and abroad." I think this is one point actualized.org seems to miss. These are not just "psychedelics pills" to be swallowed by yourself in a closet. There are entire cultural / ancestral wisdom systems that allowed the Shipibo shamans of Peru, for example, to preserve that wisdom, when most cultures have failed. We need ancestral wisdom in order to be a flourishing community on the planet - this is the condor (the heart) and the actualized.org is the eagle (the mind). This is an ancient prophecy that when the two come together there will be peace on Earth. And the catalyst here is "psychedelics / plant medicines in a community." I'm surprised this isn't much talked about here at actualized.org, I think this is the most important thing for helping humanity to raise consciousness and creating flourishing communities that care about the environment.

If this is true, then how is it possible that I care and respect their traditions, belief systems, their survival and their love? Of course this is tricky, it's never been done before and that's why the guy in the podcast created his organization, to try to offer solutions for these very challenges and that's why I feel hopeful that somebody is actually taking steps for making this happen. Globalization of plant medicines is inevitable, it's the medicine our world needs and we need to learn from people that have preserved the wisdom of working with them properly and efficiently. The key part of it all being the return of a living community, not virtual. This place is fine for starting a dialogue, but not building a real community. We need to see, hear and feel each other in person to bond and remember what it means to connect with other people.

Words can harm or heal. The return of cultural medicine songs is what I think our world needs the most to heal. Shipibo is one of the few traditions that have been able to preserve their ancestral wisdom because they work directly with plants. I analyzed some of their medicine songs, and it's obvious how the words and intention in the song is a key ingredient. They are literally singing what they are intending to do: (eg: cleaning bad energy, straightening the mind, calling up good visions, connecting to the senses, clearing bad visions and energy etc.) Shipibo has no grammar so the words are very flexible when weaving them into songs, so the intentions can be sung very melodically and beautifully. I'm researching medicine songs in Russian because that's where I grew up, but I still haven't found any information about medicine songs specifically in a ceremonial context, so I've been coming up with my own. This made me wonder about the original "English medicine songs", they had to exist. I think, what we all need to do to heal is to go back to our ancestral roots, that's our medicine.

To me, the whole point of spirituality is to find a harbor in the ocean of infinity.

Leo, just listen to the podcast please. The point is to develop healthy relationships with people that you live around and have ways to share wisdom with other communities. Integration, as you probably know, is the most important thing, having a supporting community is key to integrating these "peak" mystical experiences. "A community model for ceremonial use of plants. Where people can come together, have ceremonies, celebrate life together, grief together, connect, bond, laugh. Having accountability in all directions of the members that participate. This approach can avoid a lot of the problems that can come with globalization of plant medicines."
