@SOUL Yeah, I hear that. Encountered a lot of flavors of that. I can only speak from where I’m at in life, but just to me, that is dogma, which is just very very different from the absolute / God within. It’s like someone experiences it, tells someone, and then dude #2 writes a whole dogma about it. Self inquiry / direct experience always seems to rise as the only way.

@Mighty Mouse Thanks. Very interesting views. Did you arrive at those perspectives after you experienced the absolute or before?

@SOUL right on. Drive safe man. ❤️

@SOUL Dude, I’m fascinated by what you are saying, but your statements seem conflicted. Are you willing to elaborate a little? How it absolute is a ideal, and how exactly it is sold, and how it is taught? No offensive. I am really intrigued.

@SOUL You think the absolute is an ‘ideal’?

@Leo Gura Don’t think of a pink elephant. And thanks a lot.

Miracles happen everyday - just look at your own finger!!!!! After miracles happen, they are easily explainable - that’s the mindfuck, not the potentiality. Loa is the most fundamental, intimately personal topic I know of. It’s like awareness to a muggle.

@zazed There is no transformation or change the first you can do to become everything. How do you know? I think maybe you’re elaborating on what Jo is presenting. I think he’s looking for the resolve, or ‘how it is these two are in fact one’? Let me know if I’m wrong about that @Joseph Maynor @SOUL How is that a paradox?

@zazed The yogi cup! Hilarious. @SOUL What is the ‘abstract ideal’?

@cetus56 Thanks. He’s adorable that guy, isn’t he?

@Sven Great video / post man. ❤️

What if aliens and ufos are you and experiencing them has been a matter of mind the whole time? That’d be an at least semisolid mf. What if law of attraction is the gateway to the experience of extraterrestrials?

@Joseph Maynor Great question. Everything that appears to exist is your illusion. That is all useless to know though, if it’s not relative to what you want. Unless you want nothing. But then, you wouldn’t be doing this ultra-convincing impression of Joseph, would you? - cause you were already nothing. Still are.

@Charlotte You are so sweet. Here’s the deep deep fact, very hard to accept...it doesn’t have to be hard. It doesn’t. If I was in your shoes, I’d write on the inside of my hand with a pen - “aligned” and “doubt”. I’d be filtering my thoughts that way. Align with yourself, with your desires. Life is way too short to stay with someone once you know in your gut that the path of aligning to what you want is other than with him. Thinking about if he’ll be ok, that’s certainly considerate and compassionate, I get it, but for you - is that a thought that aligns you with what you came to this universe to experience, or is it a thought that really is just you doubting yourself - doubting what you are? If it is - This new Charlotte just “ain’t got time for that”. She’s got her life to live. I have a hunch it’s going to be fucking awesome. He’ll be fine.

What is your difference between enlightenment & mysticism? Sounds interesting. Also, if you’re willing, What is embodiment?

Maybe, just maybe, there is an experience wholly completely literally without any relativity whatsoever, and maybe, just maybe, that is what people mean by words like “ego death”, “absolute”, “Self”. Maybe this is the difference between experiencing the void, and being the void. What if that difference seems to be minute, because of one atom of remaining relativity - and what if, when that atom is surrender, the difference is infinite. Is it possible there remains, still, an ultimate surprise for you? Completely unrelated....what was it you didn’t care for in the “Leo becomes god aka absolute infinity” video?

@DocHoliday awesome!

@Thanatos13 There is a mindfuck ahead of you that I would pay a million bucks to go through again!

That’s so funny man!

@Charlotte Man. This blows. I might be ‘over reading’ or ‘reading things into this one’, but it sounds like you’re in that limbo middle between - you love him, but not feeling the actual presence of being in love with him. From my life, from how I feel right now, and not from a place of knowledge or books I’ve read, etc.....just straight from the most primal place in me... I am in love with my wife. I have been for decades. I’ve had moments where I’m like - I need to to get the fuck outta here for a couple days, and I’ve experienced that “stay outta my bubble right now” too. But, the underlying connection is always there. Has been every second. Always. Don’t hear this as sappy, try to hear it as practical: my head has been frustrated with her, but My heart has never been confused about her. Sometimes I think she could do a little more, sometimes I realize I could be doing a little more, but there is always this baseline “bigger than both of us” connection. I can’t really explain this, but if I’m being honest, it’s destiny. She is the only meaning I have for the word ‘destiny’. Previously, I was in a relationship for 4 years with another. She was perfectly nice, very pretty, we had some things in common, we lived together for a couple years. At any point in those 4 years, if someone would have asked me - “are you in love with her?”- “Do you know she is the one?”, I knew the answer was no. I knew it, but life can be complicated & distracting, and I was making everything in my life work. I was doing a great job of “making everything work”, and everything was working. That was the problem. We made everything work, so that became a cover story, but, I knew. At any given moment I readily knew we did not have that “destiny” depth. What I didn’t know, is that I would have that in the future when I met my wife. Now I know. So, it’s easy to reference. Back then though, all I had was uncertainty. So, my two cents is, it is true - when it’s love, you know. So if there is a question, well, that sucks, but, true love is a real true thing in my experience. Just like on the path, the phrase “the truth shall set your free” is real af - also the phrase “when it’s true love, you just know” is real af. When it’s true love, it’s you and him against the world. The love will be so strong that no one could convince you otherwise. It would not matter what anyone says. So if what I’ve said feels influential, or causes inner turmoil, if you feel like “I want that!’...well, you stand to find true love. If it doesn’t, then you’ve already got it.

Thanks guys.

@John Thanks for sharing! In hopes of seeing the actual progress in this, though it probably doesn’t seem like it, I’d look at the trips like a practice. Those years of meditation having probably served you very well. Look at it like you just started another practice, one that the meditation is foundational to, one that is going to really expand you, probably completely. In terms of the larger stratosphere, you just got on the path, congrats!!! It can take a lot of trips to get through whatever needs getting through. 10 hours...? Might have been too ambitious outta the gate. Ramp up next time. Think about ramping up for 5 trips.

@FelixTheCat try this? Posture Meditation This body-based meditation is a very effective way to get grounded and centered. It encourages an embodied, calm, and open awareness, and discourages disassociation. If you have a tendency to "leave your body," feel ungrounded, or disassociated, this is a good practice. Sit with your spine straight and aligned, and the rest of your body relaxed. Keep bringing yourself back to this condition. 1. Take a reposed, seated posture. 2. For this meditation, it is very important that your spine is straight. Your neck and back should be in perfect alignment. Your chin should be down very slightly. 3. If you are sitting in a chair, do not rest your spine against the chair. Sit forward so that your spine is supporting its own weight. Let the muscles of the spine be engaged. 4. All the other muscles of your body can be completely relaxed. Allow your face muscles to let go, and your jaw to drop slightly, so that your teeth are not touching. 5. Let your shoulders hang freely, and let your belly be soft and open. 6. This is the posture you are aiming for, with your spine erect and your body completely relaxed. 7. As you sit, keep bringing your awareness back to the fine details of your posture. Notice any time your spine slumps even slightly, your head leans to either side, or any other deviation. Correct these gently and repeatedly. 8. Also notice if any other areas of your body tense up even slightly. If anything is tensing, relax it in a gently and soft manner. 9. Keep checking in with the body, using your body (somatic) awareness; the feeling in your body. Mental images of your body will probably arise, which is fine, but these are not what you are concentrating upon. Instead, concentrate your awareness in the sense of your body. The sensitivity in your muscles, tissues, viscera, skin, and so forth. 10. The more detailed and minute you get with this awareness, the better. Each tiny area of the body has its own sensitivity to contribute. 11. Every once in a while you can zoom out to cover the entire somatosensory field -- the awareness of your entire body -- to bring the overall body back into alignment. 12. Keep relaxing every muscle everywhere. Use just enough tension to keep your spine erect, but no more. 13. Continue this meditation for at least 10 minutes, continuously contacting your body awareness. CAUTIONS: If you have any spinal injuries or severe back pain, it is fine to allow your spine to rest in a pain-free position. If you find yourself distracted by a lot of mental chatter, you can use verbal labeling as an aid to concentration. For example, when checking on the spine, you can say to yourself, "spine in alignment." When checking on the body, say, "body relaxed."

Yeah, and then, you hear it hiss and you’re like wtf? I saw the rope, wtf? Annd then it’s a rope again and man, like, seriously. Awesome.
