Learn to be compassionate towards everything that comes up, I think the conditioned reaction naturally is to have been judging the emotions to keep them suppressed. From what I understand emotional freedom is one part of enlightenment but Self realization can happen before (or after it). I would say give enough attention to both, when functioning in the world just being mindful of your own body is certainly a powerful practice, it's the key to self-knowledge as all your suppressed stuff is located there.

Conditioned thinking but most importantly suppressed emotions. Small children own all their emotions and release them appropriately. Adults usually hide all their emotions and thus have to live burdened under masks and behavioral patterns of denial. You can see how much you suppression you carry by scanning the spine for chronically tight muscles that hurt when you press them, as shown here Emotions also come up naturally as you meditate and realizing No Self (classical enlightenment) seems also to be able to free one to high a degree (though all subconscious stuff will still have to be processed at some point regardless.

Just did 20mg smoked. In my room (shared housing), everyone was gone. Still surrounded by other rooms that had people in them somewhere. I still couldn't let go, too much suppressed fear. I thought I would be okay with making sounds but my mind still tricked me into holding back. So: intense. Frustrating. Scary. Nothing really blissful but it was insightful. And I am much less afraid to do it again, it's comforting to know that what ever bad experience you have is just your own mind with some childhood residue trauma. So not much has changed, It's a few hours after the experience now, just went for a run (exercise is so important to stay grounded and to feel somewhat good in the body btw!) and meditated for a bit, I feel somewhat more easy going, not much has changed.

Anger can be totally natural, I like to call it passionate righteousness.

Any anxiety comes from the fear of dissolution and spiritual practice is the only way out, which is the same as shadow work; illuminating the self/your shadows and dissolving them.

Some symbolism: The frog goes from a swimming sperm cell to a frog in a few months, representing rapid transformation Also, the toad goes into hibernation (representing going inwards) (And when Bashar was asked about Arizona as to what that place represents he said spiritual growth)

These thought streams come from the suppressed emotions/negative imprints, because you weren't allowed to express/have them, you stuffed them and they got stuck in your body-mind, you're not going insane. And yeah exercise is really good for everyone, like really good, the documented health benefits are endless and I also belief it's important for the path as this still is a bodily journey also and we're made to move a lot, I found that I feel much better and motivated for life in general and even the path since I picked it up. A lot of people get injuries though, especially runners (40-70% a year), but if you learn to run barefoot or with barefoot shoes and run slow and start with low distances/alternating it with walks you should be safe. And as for a gym, you can start with bodyweight exercises for a long time: push ups, semi-vertical push-ups, chin/pull-ups, squats/lunges etc.

15 grams of truffles is like 2-3 grams dried muschrooms iirc

Yeah in my dream I became lucid and asked if I could go to the civilization related to Sirius, I flew up into the stars went through an eye, and had some normal dream like experiences of just being a in a bus in a jungle, seeing some puppies and saw some weird beings saying some weird stuff (all very dream like, Bashar said many of the dreams are symbolic interpretations). Then a week later his new session came out and he talked about the different symbols related to these civilizations and the symbol Sirius was an eye.

Makes a very good well articulated point at 1 min. I've come to the same realization now how most if not all of my core fears still belong to the potential of a judgmental God/punishment/needing to do or be a certain way, even though I can now slowly unwind and see these thoughts for what they are.

Had a dream experience that absolutely verified him for me, I made a forum about him as well. www.bashar-forum.org The guy who channels him is a bit of hard head though imo in terms of not spreading the material for free and using a very outdated business model, but if you can look past that (and maybe join some sharing group, cough) then it's pretty cool. The only other downside I'll give is that the alien is actually a bit unnuanced at times and can easily be misinterpreted.

LoA can help teach you to get rid of the negative emotional imprints at an even more serious rate, as it indeed attracts and creates all sort of shit, useful shit that teaches you though, but only if you can use it as such. It's kind of funny how these patterns can try to manifest, like an imp 'secretly' controlling your limbs: 'hey, we're walking past a a group of thugs, let me just trip and bump into one'. But once that is out of the way LoA just becomes the way God loves and serves you

The terrifying part is only because you feel like giving up the 'you', that you carefully created as that was necessary to behave in 'approvable' ways to friends/parents/society (the ones you needed to survive as a child), seems like a really really bad idea and these fears call upon these human conditioned instincts that are generally carved deeply into the system and were responsible for much of who you taught you were. Just through desire, patience and compassion you will learn to chose loving yourself over the validation or dislikes of others or even of the idea of a judgmental God (he's so loving he'll even support you in thinking that you are not to be loved).

He did actually have a mystical experience he talked about. But yeah, as long as there are denial systems/negative ego, one will have a tendency to ignore and even hate spirituality.

+ 1 and still alive and can be beautifully used as an object of meditation and love

You need to understand how your mind works. All natural emotions feel good when they are not suppressed/labeled negatively. Most humans have a lot of suppressed emotions (which can all be found along the spine as chronically tight muscles that hurt when you press them as shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uyvhPpk04s, so check yourself, edit: better let someone else do it for you) Even fear is just a feeling of high alert. Sadness is beautiful when allowed. Anger is passionate righteousness . But your parents screwed you over, conditioned you poorly and taught you to suppress emotions. When you know that, you need to learn to accept all your emotions and accept the bodies way of releasing it, instead of panicking you can be thrilled about it, as it puts you back in the natural state. Aside from that just know that you are also beyond the body-mind as consciousness. So all the energy play is just play. So then, if you learn to really understand this, what's there to fuck up? You can't really, but people tend to underestimate their ego's defense mechanism/masks/negative traits/habits and want to deny them and become arrogant/delusional, but that's just only by their own choice, though it generally can take some years to unlearn to conditioning so patience and compassion for yourself is required. I guess one danger of psychedelics is that they may trigger so much, you rapidly transform and may need to purge things and work through things while you're still living a life as drone in society that needs to function properly so it can get it's food/shelter, but life's kind and will help you on this noble journey of becoming yourself again.

Wanting to have a superior identity is literally what the negative ego always wants, so it can appear to always be love-able because it feels it's unloved because of ignorance and as it has usually learned to suppress emotions, blocking the energy and creating (projective) masks and addictions. Now I don't know what you are, but in my view a big big trap is wanting or thinking to be enlightened when ur not, and given that's it's pretty rare and how you speak I'd say your not (and I've been in the very same spot). But contrary to what knee-jerk reaction your mind may have to this, be happy about this because it means that there is a lot more freedom and joy to be found than what you are currently experiencing, and no, one doesn't have to experience the growth as painful uncomfortable labor either. Anyways you can easily see how much suppressed emotions you have by letting someone scan the muscles along the spine that are chronically tight and that hurt when you press them as shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uyvhPpk04s

Go deeper, who cares? Our highest 'duty' is to become clear to ourselves, resolve all the suppressed emotions which cause the turmoil in the body mind. And then actually the need to know will fall away, as when you are absolutely happy you are too busy enjoying and loving life, being the most wise of all. As of absolute matter, there is just consciousness, and there is just manifestation, 'it just is'. It's one because it is, because it is you, are there 2 of you? What else is there to know about it? Nothing, it's the purest simplicity. So I would say watch yourself and go about the cleaning business first, terms such as 'problem' 'trap' 'fuck with us' 'insanity' and 'epistemically lost' are just left over concept shields still ingrained to not face the masks/Self that makes it feel separate. This is not an attack but advice, If I am wrong then so be it, if it offends you then you know it's true. Peace

Some people get psychotic during a 10-day vip, it happens, however, as someone who has experienced psychosis for years also brought up by meditation, spiritual info and a strong mushroom trip at 15, I can tell you it's not what we've been led to belief. It's just the ego spiraling out of control. It's when the ego structure (created fundamentally) after we've learned to suppress emotion, that is highly unaware of it's true nature as peaceful consciousness, get shaken up by life changing experiences, but instead of dropping masks, it get's so terrified and confused it wants to create more masks and ideas. It can easily be prevented in most cases by a good guide or even learning some basic real spiritual understanding, but in spirituality unfortunately many people themselves are still in the process of dropping the masks, so when someone else needs to drop em they too get uncomfortable and try to avoid it and many people still have a lack of understanding, are arrogant etc. That said, dropping into a 100 hour meditation 10 day to begin with is probably not the best idea for anyone, people tend to underestimate their amount of baggage as well, given the negative ego was designed to deny the baggage. And our attempt at medication is probably a cause as well.

Primal therapy, possibly in combination with dearmoring or pressure point massage, or maybe go to a massage therapist, also just exercise is good to get into the body and let the energy flow

I don't think it's generally a good idea to link no-lyrics songs as all songs are spiritual in a sense but the lyrics often make it relevant.. but when I was looking for simple relaxing tunes, I couldn't really find anything good but then I found this really cool concept of slowing down classical

Beautiful description of how one may use 'non-duality' to deny the world of form. The part of how that makes a specific kind of person is funny. I think it's not too uncommon that we see this mindset amongst some teachers, after all, the negative ego structure was created specifically to deny emotionally personal feelings, and so it loves superior identity, and what's better than to be 'beyond the world'? Especially since it's evens sort of true, something to watch out for.

He seems like a great guy whom has realized something profound but I feel like there are still some remnants. I've read stories of beings their realization and it's not uncommon for their path to be like: - Enlightenment experiences as a child - (devoted spiritual life >)Deep profound realization, integrated the experiences to a high degree - The complete last falling away of the ego and complete embodiment (and though it might deepen, they have been liberated of every last inch of negative conditioning) - I wouldn't be surprised if he and a lot of other teachers are at stage 2 here, whom do might think and claim or imply they are really done, kind of understandably so, but it's sloppy imo, but his teachings are pretty good.
