I choose wisdom from direct experience and embodied Truth.

To describe this shift I can only guess death is never an event. It’s a state that awareness can never become aware of, unlike aliveness, which is the only event of which there’s no horizon to be crossed.I’m pointing to what actually happened in direct experience, which I was clearly aware of.
It didn’t come across as a subtle shift or something that could be reduced to a perspective. It felt like a state where everything lost its structure, and then something entirely different came back online, much more open and alive.
So even if those distinctions don’t hold at a certain level, the contrast itself was very clear. That’s the part I’m trying to understand better.
-
I get the perspective you’re pointing to with the scale of the universe.
At the same time, I don’t see that as removing responsibility. Even if we’re part of something much larger, how someone lives and acts still matters, because small patterns and decisions have real effects over time.
On the point about control, I don’t think it’s as simple as either full control or none at all. We might not control everything, but there’s still a level of participation in how we respond, what patterns we reinforce, and how we show up.
If that gets dismissed too quickly, it can turn into a kind of disengagement from the practical level of life.
The part I’m questioning is when the “bigger picture” stays at the level of understanding. Seeing yourself as a tiny piece of something vast can be true in one sense, but if it doesn’t translate into how you actually live, it stays conceptual.
What I’m interested in is whether insight becomes embodied, whether it shows up consistently in behavior, perception, and the way someone relates to others and their environment.
That’s what I mean by integration. Not just seeing something, but actually living it.

1 hour ago, Ziran said:And integrated ... how? I'm asking because it's reasonable to conclude there are many different ways to integrate it/them, some better than others?
I'm wondering about it.
Thank you for the thought provoking question.
I prefer an inclusive broad definition, rather than narrow. For example, I include olfactory sensory feedback within the category of "spiritual".
The best definition I've heard comes from the Quran. "This book is for those who believe the unseen."
The action of "believing" the "unseen", is Spirituality... to me.
That’s a good question.
When I say “integration,” I'm talking about how the experience actually becomes part of how I live.
For me it shows up in simple but real ways:
- learning to listen to and honor my body
- breathwork and being more conscious of how I breathe
- spending time in nature, swimming, nature walks or just being present with the environment
- journaling and reflecting on what I’m going through
- choosing awareness in areas of my life that are asking for attention
- paying attention to dreams
- working on things that feel aligned with my life
- moving my body in a more conscious way
- being more intentional about who I spend time with and the environment I’m in
And also in how I respond to life itself. Situations that used to trigger me don’t hit the same way anymore, or I can stay present with them instead of reacting automatically. That’s one of the clearest signs for me that something has actually been integrated.
So it’s less about the experience itself, and more about whether it actually changes how I relate to life afterwards.
-
26 minutes ago, Elliott said:I suggest exploring spirituality like that and see where it takes you.
I'm definitely exploring spirituality through my own direct experience. What I’ve noticed so far is that the experiences that feel the most “spiritual” also tend to have a very real impact on how I live, relate to myself, and relate to others. It’s less about trying to define it, and more about noticing that whatever this is, spirituality is not disconnected from life in practice.
-
QuoteThat everything is actually true. So, the wisdom one gets is just conceptual; ultimately 'all is evil' is just as true as 'all is love' or whatever other wisdom you attain like 'there is a self' is just as true as 'there is no self', anything.
Think of what 'spirit' means: spirit, life and animation, what in the world limits could there possibly be if animation/life/spirit exists? There's seemingly obviously no limits, not even on contradictions.
I see what you're saying about spirituality being something infinite and beyond concepts at an Absolute level.
At the same time, I don't see it as completely separate from how someone actually lives.
Because even if the experience itself is beyond explanation, it still affects a person's life and expresses itself.
Like, if nothing at all changes in how a person relates to themselves or to life after something “spiritual,” then there is nothing that distinguishes it from just any other experience.
So for me, the integration part isn’t about reducing spirituality to concepts, but more about how it shows up in reality.
Otherwise it starts to feel like something that’s completely disconnected from life, and I’m not sure what its significance would be then.
How do you see that? Does it have any expression in how someone lives, or is it completely separate for you?
-
21 minutes ago, Elliott said:That's philosophy to me. Spirituality to me is that which is metaphysical and cannot be explained, this doesn't mean made up though, not 'believing in God' or 'faith', it's something actually experienced. There's no knowledge or wisdom paired with spirituality - for me, I consider that to just be philosophy. Spirituality is infinite, any "wisdom" is finite.
I think I get what you’re pointing to with spirituality being something directly experienced and not really capturable in concepts.
How do you see the role of integration after the experience though?
Because even if the experience itself is beyond explanation, it still seems like something changes in how a person lives or understands things afterwards.
Would you say that stays completely separate from knowledge and wisdom, or do you see some connection there?
Also when you describe it as infinite, do you mean that in the sense that it can’t be fully grasped or contained?
-
What is Spirituality to you?
To me Spirituality is - wisdom gained through direct experience and integrated in consensual reality.
Sounds smart I know, that's because I am.

5 hours ago, Mellowmarsh said:Interesting! 🧐
Here goes my two pence….
To be conscious of being alive is to simultaneously be conscious of being dead.Because that which lives, never died, and that which died, never lived.
To be conscious of…requires a duality of subject and object, inseparably one and the other both, yet neither. 😵💫
I think I get what you’re pointing to... about awareness involving both subject and object and how those distinctions start to collapse.
At that level it makes sense that life and death wouldn’t really be separate things in any absolute way.
What stood out to me though wasn’t so much the conceptual side of it, but how radically different those states felt in direct experience.
It didn’t feel like two aspects of the same thing in that moment. It felt like a complete shift in the quality of being. Like going from something closed, fragmented and hostile to something open, coherent and alive.
So even if at a deeper level those distinctions collapse, experientially the difference felt very real and very absolute.
I’m curious how that lines up with your experience. Have you ever gone through something that felt like that kind of total shift?
-
I want to share something from direct experience that I’m still integrating and working on fully understanding.
This isn’t about physical death, not the end of the body, but something that can happen within life itself.
I’ve experienced two very different states of being. And I don’t mean slightly better or worse moods...
I mean something much more fundamental.
In one state, everything was collapsed:
- I couldn’t rest, even for a moment
- Sleep was either impossible or filled with intense nightmares
- There was constant fear and paranoia
- My perception felt distorted, even ordinary sounds felt threatening
- I felt completely disconnected from myself and from others
- There was no sense of love, joy, or peace at all
- I fell into destructive habits and couldn’t function in any stable way
- It felt like being trapped in a condition where everything was tense, hostile, and fragmented.
- I couldn't stop the negative steam of thoughts, negative inner talk
- I hated myself and everything
- And I remained in that state for a long time.
In contrast, where I am now:
- I can rest and sleep normally
- I feel at peace with myself
- I feel calm and grounded
- I am deeply in touch with my feelings and my sense of self
- I can process my emotions and alchemized the suffering into love and joy
- I feel joy, self-respect, and compassion toward others
- I feel connected, to people and to life itself
- I’m creative, productive, and engaged with what I’m doing
- My mind and imagination works great
- My dreams are good
- My life is full of meaning and purpose
- I love myself and the entire world
- There’s a sense of coherence, grace and ease
What stands out to me is that the difference between these two states doesn’t feel like “better vs worse.”
It feels more like:
being alive vs being dead
one state feels like Life - openness, connection, joy, peace - what I would call love
the other feels like something closer to “death” - contraction, fear, disconnection, suffering
Also, it doesn’t seem like people are simply “alive” or “dead” in this sense.
It feels more like a spectrum.
At any given moment, a person can be more open or more contracted, more connected or more disconnected, more dead or alive moving somewhere between those two poles.
What’s interesting is that people already describe their experience this way naturally:
“I feel alive.”
"She is full of light"
“There’s a light in her eyes.”
These two statements pointing to the connection between Life and Light - makes a lot of sense given that Sun Light is the source of all life on Earth. There are many other examples...
And these two:
“I feel dead inside.”
"His light went out."
“Dark night of the soul."
Pointing to the connection between death and darkness or absence of light.
The more I look at it, the more it seems like this isn’t abstract. It’s something that’s happening all the time: People are moving on the spectrum of Life and Death - states of consciousness.

28 minutes ago, gettoefl said:Part of maturity is just getting older. You don't need people as much; you are more independent. Problem is if you stayed somewhere long term you let people get reliant on you. This was your mistake. When older and maturer, you don't make the same mistake. You keep them at arm's length. You are not trying to impress people anymore. You are beyond that. Just my two cents.
I see what you’re pointing to, especially around becoming more independent over time and not getting as entangled.
At the same time, what I’ve been noticing isn’t just about attachment or needing people, but how subtle patterns seem to get reinforced just by being in certain environments over time.
Even without trying to impress anyone or relying on people, there still seems to be a kind of “drift” back into familiar ways of being.
That’s what made me question whether it’s only about maturity and independence, or if there are other factors at play that we don’t usually account for.
-
18 minutes ago, gettoefl said:Environment is huge and it's not just place but people. When you are settled, everyone wants a piece of you. In which case, time to up sticks. Next time don't let people and places get their hooks in you. This is maturity.
Good point about people being a big part of the environment. All kinds of relational dynamics and expectations that build up over time... At the same time, I’m not sure it’s always as simple as just not letting things “hook” you, because a lot of that seems to happen below the level of conscious choice.
That’s part of what made me question how much of this is willpower or maturity, vs how much is shaped by what we’re continuously exposed to. Still trying to understand where that line actually is.
-
I’m realizing something else as I sit with this...
A lot of people say integration should “work anywhere,” even in stressful or chaotic environments. But I’m starting to question whether that’s actually true, or just an ideal that sounds right.
If someone has genuinely stabilized something deeply, does environment stop mattering?
Or does it still play a role in ways we tend to underestimate?
-
I spent about 10 years working with plant medicines, and something about “integration” never fully made sense to me.
Not because I wasn’t doing the work.
I had all the practices like meditation, yoga, journaling, contemplation, tai chi, qi gong, movement, breathwork. I was consistent with them. But whatever I touched in ceremony didn’t stabilize in a lasting way. It would feel clear for a few days, sometimes longer, and then gradually fade as I returned to my normal environment.
At some point I started questioning whether the issue was really a lack of discipline, or something else.
Recently I spent time in Pucallpa, in a much quieter setting in the Amazon, and the shift was subtle but noticeable. Nothing dramatic happened. It was more that certain forms of interference weren’t there anymore. Less noise, less stimulation, less social pressure, less distractions, fewer unconscious patterns being constantly reinforced. And what I had previously been trying to “integrate” started to feel more natural, almost like it didn’t require the same level of effort.
That made me reconsider something:
Maybe integration isn’t primarily about adding more practices, but about removing what continuously pulls you back. Most of the focus I’ve seen is on the ceremony itself (psychedelic trips). Much less attention is given to the environment people return to afterwards.
I’m curious how others here have experienced this. Did integration come more from what you were doing, or from the environment you were in?

Today is the second day that I have moved to La Jolla Cove, I moved here, to my favorite place in San Diego on the night of August 29, 2025. I packed only the necessities - some canned food, extra clothes, towel, swimming shorts. I don't have a tent, a sleeping bag or a yoga mat so I just sleep on my towel. I found a nice place under a tree in a shade, luckily the nights in San Diego are warm these days, but I still get cold at night and I end up covering myself with a towel and sleep on the grass. Today, as I was swimming through the cave and then enjoying the beauty of the fabulous views, laying on the rocks, my body beaming with sweet joy, these words came to me -- "I am not homeless, I am home."
The short story is -- after coming out of a first 18 month Hell, I was in Paradise for two years. I moved to Peru in the last 5 months of those two years to continue healing and learning from Mother Ayahuasca and to deepen my dieta ( shamanic shipibo dieta ). I was at a center called AyaMadre where I have been before for about 4 and a half months, so Maestra Estella knew my story. Towards the end of those 5 months, the last two weeks or so I moved to another center called Marosa. On one night, I drank a large dose of Ayahuasca, and during that ceremony -- a vision appeared which stood out from the rest, so I simply looked at it -- and when I did, I was immediately sent back into a state of Hell, very similar to what I have been experiencing for those 18 months. I reconnected with that trauma and ended up in the Hell of separation for the second time. So I began repeating the same cycle again -- drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes out of despair, pain, shame, fear, guilt and absolute hopelessness.
This time the second Hell lasted about 13 months.
About 5 months of this time I was homeless, and staying in a literal ditch. One day, on March 15, 2025, I found a ring with an Eye of Horus and two ankhs on each side near the ditch where I have been staying and it gave me hope that the second salvation is still possible for me -- so I gathered all of my strength and came back into a recovery program.
It has now been 3 and a half months since I found the ring and came out of the ditch and about two months since I started recovering. Akua, the recovery program that I attended, for 2 and a half months was covering the rent of the sober living apartment bedroom where I have been living through CA Covered insurance. I had to switch to Medical because CA Covered was asking to pay, and so I had to move out of the apartment. So I packed my things in a small rolling luggage back and a backpack, stored the rest with the apartments and moved to La Jolla Cove, and that is where I have been living for the last two days.
I have an EBT card which I can buy food with but it ran out and the next deposit comes in on the 4th of September -- I have 3 cans of tuna left and some peanut butter and $8 dollars total. It would be good to have some money for bus rides, I have enrolled in another mental rehabilitation program called The Healing Oaks and I made an appointment with the therapist on September 3rd. The bus ride there and back will cost $10, which I don't have. I would also like to have some cash so I can afford to go to events at Trilogy Sanctuary so that I can meet spiritually mature and conscious people and begin to build my community.
I have been looking for a job and applying everywhere but it's difficult for two reasons: first, I have worked for myself my entire life -- making money online and from my Clever Techie YouTube channel, which currently has over 100k subscribers but only making about $90 per month from Patreon because I haven't uploaded any videos in over two years because I lost interest and was fully devotional to my spiritual path. And second -- I am still very much in the transitional phase of recovering from the second Hell so I feel like a day job would be strenuous.
It would be nice to afford bus rides, events at Trilogy, extra money for healthy food, and a small camping propane stove cooker to make tea and cheap meals like rice and boiled eggs. I also would like a sleeping bag to be warm and comfortable at night.
If you or anybody you know can spare anything, I would gladly accept, even if it's just $1, I could use anything at this time and I would very much appreciate it.

What is on my mind and what do I want to express in writing at this time?
Listen to your body, listen to amrita, ask yourself where is your intuition and what is it telling you.
My body is telling me that it is time to sleep, good night.
-
I am being guided and called to begin tapping into my creative source of expression and share about my life journey. I want to let it flow without over thinking and I am feeling resistance and blockages as I type these words. My body and mind are in the process of healing, recalibrating, rebalancing after another year of pure chaos. I have been tapping into the sweet sensation in my throat that I started feeling a couple of weeks ago which I learned to be "amrita" -- nectar of immortality, I am learning to navigate all of my actions from the place of this sweet source. Speaking the words is especially joyful when I focus my conscious attention on this sweetness and speak from that place, I have never experienced this before. It's also healing my pain when I sing, it's restoring and strengthening my faith and hope and it's opening up the channel of divine creativity.
-
-
I am calling in financial abundance by attracting it -- knowing that I am worthy of infinite abundance, knowing that I am worthy of financial compensation/assistance at this in-between phase of my awakening. I will be in a very high demand soon. Love is the highest currency.

July 17, 2025 Dreams:
"From This Moment On, Everything Good Begins"
Tonight I was feeling very heavy energy surfacing and went to sleep early, around 8:00pm, I had a dream that felt like a spiritual reset — a sacred contract spoken out loud, confirmed by my soul brothers.
In the dream, I was with Samson Love (a real-life friend), Roma (my brother), and a few others. We had just overcome a challenge involving police — some sort of authority or test — and through teamwork, integrity, and unity, we passed. We made it through.
Then we stood in a circle, held hands, and declared an affirmation again and again — both in Russian and English:
"С этого момента начинается всё самое хорошее." ( A more accurate translation is: "From this moment on, all the best things begin." )
"From this moment on, everything good begins." ( That is the way we said it in English in a dream )We all believed it.
We all felt it.It wasn’t just words — it was a soul vow, a line in the sand.
This dream feels like an echo of a deeper truth: I’ve passed through immense darkness, and now I am stepping into the good. Into trust, into divine timing, into the brotherhood of light. The Universe is saying: You are ready.

The Best Investment
While having my first 5g heroic dose magic mushroom trip, sitting on a computer chair in a dark closet, in my studio apartment in La Mesa, on March 21, 2017, I felt like I was going to die, and one of the things that came up for me was, my big safe full of gold and silver bar and coin savings, worth approximately $500,000, including off-shore physical silver investments I had at the time. I felt disappointed, that I wouldn't have the chance to spend that money, as I felt detachment and letting go of what was important to me at that time. I also felt like Scrooge McDuck who has been greedily sitting on a stash of wealth.
And here I am in the jungle of Iquitos, Peru, 7 years later, with $2,142.02 remaining in my bank account, at the time of this writing, with the only source of income being about $150 a month coming in from my Clever Techie YouTube channel.
What happened is, I have fully devoted all of my time and energy to my spiritual journey for these last 7 years, working with psychedelics, self understanding and development. My journey, during these 7 years, has been absolutely epic and heroic, and it also cost me about $500,000. The good news about my financial situation this time is that I don't have any bills, I have paid to stay here at AyaMadre for one year, and my first house is in the process of being built here.
Even better news this time, is that I have won the Holy Grail and I know the Truth. I know that the entire Universe is helping me manifest the Truth that I know. I know that all the wealth of the world is mine, I know that the entire Universe is mine, I know that all the praise, love and glory is mine forever. I now have infinite wealth, the most precious wealth being spiritual - love, life, Truth, salvation, immortality. I now have infinite abundance.
How is that for a return on investment?

The Joy of Conscious Movement
I'm starting to get into a more disciplined routine here at AyaMadre. I wake up around 6am as it begins to get light. I first drink Renaco master plant in the morning l, which is part of my dieta at this time, it gives me physical strength and I feel like it's healing my body's pain and tension. I do my conscious movement right after drinking Renaco, connecting with the medicine and listening to the intelligence of my body. My body is getting naturally stronger without putting in much effort, I am noticing that I am becoming stronger, more flexible and cut. The plants are working their magic in my body and the conscious movement routine that I have been doing everyday is helping me to get to know my body even better everyday. I am now unlocking the master of martial arts, that has been dormant within me for a long time, which magic mushrooms and Ayahuasca kept showing me on my trips.
What's magical and beautiful about my way of mastering my body and the conscious exercise routine I am developing is that I am actually able to enjoy it. I want to keep strengthening my body and unlocking new moves and more flexibility because I want to, it brings me joy and there are many health benefits. Contrast that to my workout routine in my twenties, before psychedelics when I lived in the matrix - I experienced so much pain and exhaustion at the gym that my whole body would be in pain after a workout and all I could do after coming home is crash on the bed and take an hour long nap. My body has taken years to recover from the shock, trauma and pain I have caused myself by working the weights in the gym and I feel like I'm still recovering from it on some level.
Mostly though, moving is becoming more joyful, graceful and easy everyday as I am unlocking my true body's potential and mastering movement. The plants are guiding and teaching me how to work with the body more skillfully and intelligently. I am getting to know and feeling every muscle in my body and I am able to work those muscles by tensing them up and doing simple body weight exercises and movements that I have developed by listening to my body's intuition. I am becoming conscious of my body while doing any activity and learning beauty, ease, grace, balance and presence of wholistic, conscious movement.
I also combine conscious movement with self massage which helps me gain hand and arm strength, dissolve any pain or tension and get to know my body more. As a result my body is thanking me for taking such great, loving care of it and it's becoming more joyful to be in this magnificent, magical body everyday.
What a joy it is to be in a healthy human body.

I appreciate your words and your questions.
Those parts of my journey feel personal, so I’d rather not go into detail here.
What I can do is answer poetically:
I suffered for the sake of Love. Love is the force that got me through.
