Personality seems comfortable, not lacking in energy, and genuine, even warm, imo. Content wise, consider reaction vs creation to bring more of what’s in your personality into your channel.

@Leo Gura Man what a tough run lately. Hope you’re back to 100% soon.

It’s doubly painful, as you’ve each placed your happiness in the future, and contingent on the other. It’s a painful house of cards, with no foundation. Emotional self reliance is needed, not more empathy. Look into making yourself happy, so you have something worth sharing with the other. When each of you simply begins some form of personal development, emotionally speaking, like therapy, couseling, reading a book about self esteem, personal accountability for your emotions, etc, you’ll almost instantly get along better. The perspective & therefore the entire dynamic of the relationship will begin to change from getting love, to giving love. This is the path of self honesty. Good luck.

@isabel Are you asking how you can know there is more which could be seen beyond what you’re eyes are currently seeing? And of what is seen, how can you know if you are seeing it directly, or if you are imagining it...?

@Lynnel Nice. Thanks for sharing!

@bazera Let the ‘glimpse’ go for now. Concentrate on getting to a place where you can do meditation, yoga, travel, trip, etc. You’re trying to skip the foundation. The glimpse won’t fix anything.

@Preetom How come?

@Preetom ? What do you think that would be like?

@RichardY “Within frames” seems like more of a where. How do you control what you are not conscious of?

@theking00 What do you think would happen to you if you didn’t play video games or go online?

Can you describe how you control those?

Can you elaborate a little?

@tentacion You’re right. Have you worked on your “Alone”?

@ingurix Nature’s way of showing you to meditate first thing in the morning. Listen?

@mohdanas There is no wisdom is spreading lies Mohdanas.

@theking00 The pertinent question is how have you been dealing with boredom?

What do you mean by, “it’s”?

What do you mean by real?

@Maya_0 Yes. Psychedelics show nothing, including you & the psychedelic you just took, exists, and that there’s no fundamental truth about reality at all. This should be most apparent to you, of all people! ♥️ Explain you are offering the truth of nonduality, that there is not two; subject (subjectivity) & object (objectivity). Explain the implication of duality, or the two-ness of subject & object - is that they are a separate thing (subject) from everything else (objects). Ask if they understand that while they think there is the duality of existence & non-existence (alive & dead), the word nonexistence actually refers to something that isn’t. (They may need to google it). Nonexistence is not something which actually exists, so there is not two, there is only existence. As there is only existence, then they are existence (there is no - nonexistence - which they could be). This shows them they are not “alive” or “dead”. “Ignorance” is not insulting, it simply means they have been ignoring this (ignor-ance). Then point out that the truth did just come about through their personal subjective experience, unless they ignore it. @RichardY Psychedelics show you: the fundamental truth of reality. There are no dimensions or demons, or dragon age origin shit, unfortunately. Idiots were already idiots before using psychedelics (don’t listen to them), and the unconscious is prior to “control” or “uncontrol” like awareness is prior to thinking or not thinking. How could you control the unconscious? What would it be like to control something you are not conscious of?

@lostmedstudent Ginzing! Recipe: Boil a little more water than you need for the cup of tea. Cut shrooms into tiny pieces, add to water. Simmer for 15 minutes. Then pour through a metal strainer 4 or 5 times, and use a spoon to squish the shrooms against the strainer to get all the psilocybin out. Add honey and a ginsing tea bag. @billytblack FYI...the ginseng and honey tea, on an empty stomach, have an opposite effect in comparison to eating the toxic flesh / nausea. Quality of thoughts follows state of stomach to a large degree, so the trip is much less “bad mindfy”.

@Rilles Schedule a few sessions man. Energy work can revitalize meditation in an astounding way. Especially given you’ve never tried it. I’m jelly.

Awesome insights! Thanks for sharing. Try making tea instead of eating them next time, and have it on an empty stomach. You’ll cut most or all of that unpleasantness out of the experience. Without those ill sensations the insights tend to be even deeper and more profound.

@Rilles Reiki?

@randomguy123 It seems like maybe you semi or subconsciously made a “separate entity” of your body, that it was a master to be appeased in a way. That is a tough one imo, because I believe that when it comes to the body, being disciplined with eating, meditation, yoga, etc, and activity in general (fitness) is the key to knowing the love that is the true self / knowing the happiness that is the true self. It does sound like you have a pretty broad view, and a good understanding through self analysis. All I can offer is that what you said there (above) strikes me as the key. I’d look for ways to expand on that emotionally. It seems to be one of the most common causes of suffering. Thinking is so quick and sneaky. It is all to easy to believe thoughts that we need x, y & z, but letting go, we return to what is, and the now, (happiness). Letting go is of the highest & most worthwhile self mastery. It’s so counter logical though! I think the knot in the stomach is a message, and you need to listen to it. Once it’s “heard”, it will disappear. Sounds like you are, so maybe I’m being redundant...but incase it’s helpful... The way of not listening to the message, is being “too busy”, and or avoidance of emotions. The way of receiving the message, is (might be counter intuitive sounding) putting yourself first, as in, beginning the new mindset of priority one being how you feel...and then everything you do (thoughts, words, actions) being priority two. This is the way of a happy and fulfilled life imo. It is all to easy to put everything and anything before how we feel though, because thought says that is the way to feeling great. Thought is a tricky thing. The challenge in doing this, is being raised in an era where most people are unknowingly living in almost complete avoidance of their emotions, always trying to “feel good”, by “getting things, or getting things done”. This is why I mentioned creative outlets. They can open up the self, the emotions, the whole of emotion, not just the surface level messages of feeling good. A simple creative activity, wether there is developed talent, or none at all, reconnects us to the fact that our individual experience of life, is the only point. Many people in the world would have you think otherwise, but, assess their happiness, look to see if it’s working fo them. Thought itself is tricky enough. Then there is the intuitive inclination to keep ourselves feeling good. But welcoming all feelings that arise, knowing the very message we’re asking for often comes by means of an ailment which serves to get our attention. I find it beneficial to look at it like the deepest center of us all, is the truth, and only the truth It can not go along for a ride when we are tricking ourselves into falsity. So when the body is trying to get your attention, you must stop, and give it your attention. Soon after, the clarity just comes through, and the ailment is resolved. The universe is always giving us what we want. It’s our resistance, usually via keeping ourselves distracted, which perpetuates the suffering. This is “the consciousness work” which you’re doing, it is good. Some days it feels good, some days it totally sucks ass. But, the important thing, very worth acknowledging, is, this is you, talking about it, “doing the work”.
