Bought CBD oil once or twice (organic CBD drops, I think). I vaguely remember some of its effects - like calmness and increased focus, and perhaps a certain joy or 'lightness.' But I also recall occasional mood swings, including irritability - though coffee probably didn't help with that. You might want to check out some of its potential side-effects. I prefer L-theanine.

That doesn't say much. Where are those beings? What do you mean by unseen? Didn't Jesus say that basically he's just a dude and that we are not separate from him? And what realms are there? Would it make a difference to vocalize 'Yeshua' instead of Jesus? And who's the one benefiting from that story? Do you realize what your being is?

@Anton Rogachevski And? We're waiting here.

It's my most intimate piece. Where did you take it from? update: @integration journey Oh I see, the Quote function isn't working for that post. You can ignore my sarcasm.

@Flowerfaeiry What are spirits and what do you mean by Jesus? It sounds like it is beneficial and helped you heal, so that's great. Also, wasn't it Yeshua? Christ Sutras: The Complete Sayings of Jesus from All Sources Arranged into Sermons, by Bart Marshall - recommended read.

I suspect this viewpoint might be pointing to a potential trap we can unconsciously fall into: seeing meaning as something negative or problematic - as I mentioned elsewhere. If this is not the case here, feel free to ignore this. Regarding this negative relationship to the suggestion that meaning may be created and not found: no! Enjoy meaning. Create it, use it, and be conscious of what it is. For example, you can make your life mean a challenging adventure - one meant to grow you and others in the direction of healing, consciousness, and transformation - and to serve the truth. That would kick your ass and be beneficial in all sorts of ways. Personally, I don't want to give the impression that what was said here is the whole story - or even necessarily accurate. Believing it is irrelevant; on the other hand, what can be done is asking what meaning is - if we want to know what's true in the matter. At the same time, it's also true that, at the end of the day, we don't really care what anything is as long as it serves us - so why not be content with both options? If anyone feels depressed after reading this thread, reconsider! Listen anew.

Ayahuasca has spoken.

I like that!

Teach thy tongue to say I do not know and thou shalt progress.

@Breakingthewall You're stuck in mental masturbation. Be willing to learn.

And all of us are included in "people." At the same time, they can be way better than you think.

@mmKay @Natasha Tori Maru In all seriousness though, welcome! Kick some ass.

Who's the one doing your boredom - and your experience? Notice: wanting something is doing it. Desire and intention are different. If you end up performing an action, you intended (wanted) to do it. If not, you didn't. This is useful to get clear on. Master a skill, find a way to contribute positively to the world, commit to something greater than yourself. It depends on the spiritual practice. Look up Vipassana - they offer a 10-day course led by a skillful teacher. Actually, here it is: If you like, you could start with 20 minutes of daily meditation every morning, which has a positive impact on the rest of your day, even if subtle at times. You could also try different forms of physical exercise and see what hobbies or sports you prefer. Going to the gym, for a run, or just for a walk can be hugely beneficial too.
