    I don't know how to explain or justify it to you guys. It's just the only conclusion I come to over and over again in my highest Awakenings. I have never heard any spiritual teacher teach the things which I have become conscious of about GOD.

    All human forms of spiritually are utterly inadequate. I don't hear anyone say that but me.

    Why don't you say you had the most profound awakening experiences ? Saying you are the most awake means your baseline level of consciousness is the highest on the planet. You obviously still have a sense of separate self so that's clearly not the case.

    My girlfriend told me it was like the universe took a wrecking ball to my ego.  For me, it was facing death, truly.  There were a handful of nights that were so bad that I simply closed my eyes in surrender, not knowing if I would ever open them again.  I am very grateful that I had already found spirituality before this happened, as I did my best to bring deeper and deeper levels of equanimity to the extreme pain and suffering... But it still overwhelmed me.  It crushed me like a tidal wave, taking me to my limit and beyond.  At some point there is only surrender.  I am still here somehow, and I continue to bring this surrender to my journey day after day, and it continues to progress, though "I" am certainly not the one doing it.  But I have tried to channel all the love in my heart into a single intention: to come Home, no matter if the cost is all the pain in the universe, no matter if the cost is my life.  Love is the heart of truth, but the road to it is the embracing of every single moment, and the letting go of every single trace of resistance no matter the cost.  And the cost is everything.

    I offer you my deepest compassion for what you're going through.  Something that has helped me is to ask the universe for 3 things: wisdom, courage, and grace.  The wisdom to find the next step, the courage to take it and face my fear, and most importantly, grace to do what I CANNOT DO.  It is not in your power to truly let go.  You must be taken. <3

    As someone that understands both Frank and Leo deeply, I can just say one thing: Leo is the one that is full of shit.  Sorry dude, you have gone way off the deep end into a narcissistic rabbit hole centered around your own deepest conditioning, the desire to know.  And of course the irony is that the desire to know is why you cannot know.  The desire to understand is why you don't understand.

    The way you talk about Frank and the rest of spirituality betrays a deep ignorance of what any of it is about or how any of it works.  You did so fucking little of the work yourself that you never even got a taste of what is even being pointed to before you took psychedelic easy street.  Like your 10 day retreats?  Such a joke.  You checked your phone and cooked yourself big meals and filmed birds and made videos.  That is not a meditation retreat.  You constantly berate people to "do the work" when it has always been YOU that can't do the work, it has always been YOU that is stuck in concepts and contractions.  You are lazy and selfish, and always have been.  The sad part is that you are too inauthentic to truly admit this to yourself, which you have avoided by generating up this massive scaffolding of "work" that is really just a giant pile of bullshit that you hide behind.  You are very nearly schizophrenic in the way that you are disconnected from life, other people, embodied reality, and the sheer presence of being... lost in a web of concepts and "trust me I tripped hard" beliefs, none of which are even close to the Truth.  Every post you make is fraught with contraction, anger, pettiness, and this shriveled sniveling ego that sucks itself off with every word.  I see your suffering.  You suffer deeply, and the harder into this you go the worse it gets.

    Were you not the cult leader of this unfortunate gang, I'd feel really sorry and compassionate for you.  But it deeply saddens me to see the harm you do to some of these people who are honestly searching.  Friends, have the courage to see beyond this framework of concepts and ideas to see that there is a deep and real truth here that is beyond any understanding, any knowing, any experience.  The heart of this is simple, profound, and beyond any words, but it requires first and foremost love for yourself beyond all limits.  A love so strong it unifies you in a way YOU could never do, but that can only happen through grace and surrender.  Frank Yang did this, for real.  So have many others.  Listen to them, open your heart, and follow that feeling inside you that resists.  The feeling of resistance will lead you deeper and deeper.  Follow it, accept it, allow it, love it and surrender, again and again.  Look, and truly see <3

    Well said. I feel the same way.

    @UnbornTao You didn't even read my post then.  For what it's worth, I've watched almost all of his 500 videos and read dozens of his books, and done many psychedelics, so I'd say I have an idea.  I've also meditated for thousands of hours, nearly died from a major illness, and read and explored far beyond Leo AFTER having understood the body of his work.  I once believed him, but eventually came to my own conclusions, and I only offer them here because I believe many people desperately need to hear them.

    How significant was it for you to nearly die from this major illness ?

    I have myself a serious illness that is teaching me a lot, but I haven't fully faced my fear of dying yet.

    Others in the establishment won’t run in the primary because Biden is the incumbent president.

    So, it would be unwise for establishment Democrats to run against Biden because it would cause them career problems.

    What about other non establishment candidates ? 

    "With nine minor candidates on the ballot in New Hampshire, there was a debate at Saint Anselm College in Goffstown, New Hampshire on December 19, 2011,[4] in which seven candidates participated." I just read this on "2012 Democratic Party presidential primaries" wiki page

    So we can expect several "minor" candidates to give it a try I suppose.

    There is nothing like intimate relationships to distract you from waking up.

    Intimate relationships can be very useful to show us our blind spots and attachements. It acts as a mirror. In other words you get emotionally triggered and it's an opportunity to release stuff.

    I am sure you have read "The way of the superior man". David Deida explains this well in his book

    In the beginning, for some beings, myself included, yes. But after a certain point, one outgrows the need for frequent tripping. For example, the last dozen or so of my trips have left me with the intrinsic understanding that I would have been better off spending those 8-12 hours meditating. This originates from the clear seeing that meditation liberates, uproots, cultivates, purifies, and clarifies, and while psychedelics do as well during the trip, the shifts in consciousness do not last. That and as has been mentioned elsewhere, state shifting is ultimately a dead end, even with manual practice. There are other reasons besides awakening to want to transform the mind though into higher states, such as bodhichitta. 

    So you feel like 10 hours of sober meditation is more valuable than 10 hours of meditation on psychedelics at this point ?

    From my perspective psychedelics are really amazing for healing. In your last dozen trips you did not have some big healing moments ?

    You would have to get into a SERIOUSLY dissociated state to not want to GTFO when some dude starts drilling into your tooth. Maybe so dissociated you can't even feel your body anyway.

    You could easily do so with drugs. I suppose some people can get in a trance to that degree sober. Def not myself.

    No it's possible to feel terrible pain, but if you accept it fully, there is no suffering. At least I have heard many people describe that

    The problem with this view is that all your so-called enlightened teachers will suffer if you hit them over the head with a hammer.

    Why do you insist that they would suffer in that case ? I cannot understand it.

    You think the pain would make them suffer ? Obviously pain is not the same as suffering. I remember you mentioning in a old video of a master receiving dentist drillings with no pain medication, with a "smile on his face". 

    You think losing mental faculties would make them suffer ? If there is zero identification and attachement to the body or personality why would they suffer ?

    It's explained in Santata Gamana's kundalini book. 

    in short:

    • long breathhold after the in-breath
    • contract your perineum and anus muscles (root lock)
    • suck your stomach in and up
    • chin as far to your chest as possible 
    • tongue to the roof of the mouth and as far back as possible 
    • focusing on root, navel region, heart chakra, crown or somewhere else.

    Yeah in my experience the Wim Hof breathing definitely increases energetic sensitivity. 

    Thank you for explaining. Do you mean chin as far from or as close to your chest as possible ?

    @GreenWoods I’ve been watching Mother Meera.

    I have awakened to not knowing. It just is.

    Extremely powerful transmission.

    I want to see what would happen if I received transmission while on some good ole acid.

    If you are sensitive, be careful about receiving a transmission while on a full dose of LSD. Maybe it could be a bit too intense that way (but if you ever do it please let me know!). 

    If you receive enough transmissions, the energies will come to you during your trips naturally.

    @GreenWoods Great job with this thread, thanks !

    KAP has been so life changing for me and it is growing so fast. There could easily be thousands of KAP facilitators in 5-10 years. Transmissions are surely going to become more mainstream.

    I am looking forward to try a zoom meditation with Gareth !

    For anyone here who tried a transmission and did not feel much, weed or a micro/small dose of magic mushroom will make you more sensitive.

    Also transmissions have a great synergy with psychedelics. Now when I take LSD the energy/grace/consciousness comes very strongly and it is shockingly beautiful and blissful/ecstatic.

    Also for people concerned about safety, it seems to me that the intelligence inherent to the energy will never push you more than you can handle. I have done 100+ sessions, most of them super intenses, and never had a bad experience. Though it can be challenging of course.
