Make tea, if you aren’t already. The flesh of the shrooms causes nausea.

@Avidya I think you already got it there. Prior to there is really a question and seeking of purpose, after, you realize you are free to create your own purpose. Vantage point, experience, and sychnoronicty all come into play, either way.

@Tistepiste Me too. I have a Socratic conversation I’ve been having with people, awakening oriented. Been looking to possibly start doing it via skype. Might not be what you had in mind, or the right timing. Hard to say.

Maybe tweeking the perspective on that....would shed light on this.... I would consider that thought is very different in nature than sensations, and that thought is makes up a story to make the sensation fit the existing understanding / paradigms. Thought doesn’t help thought. The sensation is the experience of the relativity of the truth that you are, and the false thought(s), or perspective in which you’re looking at some person, some circumstances, or your own capabilities. So, rather, look at the sensation as a direct communication or message, on it’s own, directly from your higher self. Choosing a thought that feels better, aligns with all that you are. In the long run, your continued practices, and discovery of deeper truth through inquiry, will reduce the thinking, realize a great spaciousness, and enhance the alignment / connection with the rest of you. Another way to say that is the ego is kept alive with thinking, and when you start tapping into knowing the sensations directly, ego will throw everything at you to get your attention. It is exactly as clever and as tricky as you. It can be hard to face, to be aware of how clever and tricky we are, but that is how the devil is transcended. One devil at a time. A personal excorsicm here & there is all part of the proccess, and worthwhile.

@Ingit If you stay with her voice, this guided meditation might be specifically helpful. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HHshOvzERHQ

Surrender. Let anger out. Let crying out. Let everything go until there is only now. As the presence in which these purges and purification’s unfold, be mindful not to attach to any one emotion, or to conceptualize a long term, from a passing short term state of mind. There is a tremendous amount of love in you, and it’s totally normal to be initially terrified & overwhelmed. You might say falsity is surrendered, and character and resolve arise in that vulnerability. Paraxically being without armour is authentic strength, and heather & happier. The ‘purge’ can be rough. It’s all worth it, all like it should be. All is well.

@Tistepiste What do you mean? Did I not just reveal the secret of the pinky toe?

That is the game right there! ? Thanks for sharing! ♥️?

@Rilles ✅

@Sven @Tistepiste @Sahil Pandit Yes, thanks it’s going well. I appreciate your comments! This is the wheelhouse I’m going for. ??

@Rilles Found it. Pinky toe. Left foot.

@MM1988 Sounds lovely. What law of attraction teacher did you learn from? Also, I think you have well misunderstood Stoic Negative Visualization. It is about appreciation, and gratitude. ANother path to the same, as law of attraction.

@MM1988 It is “working”. You do not fully understand how you are attracting. What teachers are you learning this from? “Looking back negative visualization would have been the better thing to do.” What negative source are you aligning with? Maya?

@SoonHei You’re trying to pack the illusion, and lots of people, into your nonduality.

Balance is on the way, or, on the path, to mental equanimity, useful for life, but in realization of nonduality, there is nothing to balance.

@Mafortu Where’d ya get that from?

@MM1988 What teacher did you learn this law of attraction from? Specifically, that it is logic based, and wishful thinking?

@SoonHei No.

@Jaddo Meditation is the way.

Who are you justifying your actions to? Who’s life is this anyways? Do you have to be upset, to decide things? Do other people have to be like you? Can you see them and love them unconditionally, as they are? Why woulnd’t you? (Ego) ??❤️

@willen1995 It’s only fear. See if it’s real or not.

@LiakosN Infinite alone self (One / You), are limiting your infinite self, to create the appearance of Two; to create a universe, a person, a world - a life. Fooling yourself into thinking and believing you are person, and are with “other people”. All of this is done using you ; a magical, mystical, unexplainable “ __________ “. Once you are convinced you’re the person you’re creating, you can see that indeed you are still Infinite, by being aware of the infinite nature of the imagination. From the infinite imagination, arises, in appearance, in linear dualistic fashion, or, one at a time - thoughts. If the thought is - unified or true to the actuality of this - , from a perspective of connection, whole, synchronistic, “I am everything” “I am nothing” - unifying in nature - then it feels good, because it is true. If the thought is of separation and therefore not true to the actuality of this, - from a perspective of “I am a finite thing, a part and not the whole” or “I am only a body / brain” or “I am alive & I will die” - then you forgot what you are. This is rigid, causing tension in the body, creating the need to let go and relax the body. With the mind, scan the body, just as it is. Be aware of any areas of tension. Take big breaths and breathe slowly. Allow your entire body to sink into gravity - feel the relaxing effect. Feel into the body. Feel the muscles relax, - relax deeper and deeper. Remember. To see how “the loop” works: Forget everything you just read by getting caught up in thinking that you are not what is aware of thinking, seeing, objects - thinking you actually ARE one of the objects - by identifying with the object: body & thoughts. Go back to the top. Quite funny, in understanding, no?

@LiakosN “where is that space”, arises in that space. You are all things, and not.
