I love this. A big confirmation for me. Well said

When I did 5g of mushrooms in silent darkness I remember chanting to myself "BEING IS VIBRAAAAAATION" Vibration... if all of reality is One substance... this one substance can vibrate at different frequencies (in the same way that sound is just vibration through the medium of air) Even light is just waves of vibration. I had a super deep insight into what vibration is while on a Vipassana retreat. While meditating I was focusing on this cricket chirp... and I was focusing really sharply so I could break down the chirp into about 8 or 9 individual "clicks" or vibrations in consciousness. A cricket chirp (when slowed down) is just the sound of friction. I realized that vibration is kind of like the manifestation of duality. One substance... yet it vibrates "up" and "down." The wave rises and falls. This distinction between rising and falling is what duality is. In Vipassana... I was watching the rising and falling of the belly... noting its movements with concentration... Then I realized that all of existence is vibration... "rising and falling" of One substance.

Not really... sorry.

No you actually become more funny. Tier 2 has the ability to 'Zoom out' of situations. What is humor? Humor is the ability to laugh at things that the survival-mind takes seriously. Have you ever noticed that some of the funniest things involve laughing at the troubles, boundaries, and inconveniences of the ego-mind. Humor is a form of transcendence. That's why tier 2 would actually have more access to humor as it also has more access to transcendence. In my experience, (as someone who's top strength is humor), you actually get funnier the more awake and developed you become.

Leo please talk however the fuck you want.

I'd like to share a concept that I think should be included in Pure Philosophy (and I'll make a case for why). Here is what I'm referring to when I say "Pure Philosophy" https://www.actualized.org/insights/introducing-pure-philosophy In the same way that Ego Development is a fundamental inclusion in any Pure Philosophy (because at this point the evidence is undeniable). I also think that Levels of Energy. Should be included as a core fundamental tenet for understanding the structure of reality. What are "Levels of Energy?" Levels of energy is essentially the understanding that reality is an Infinite Oneness... it is made of One Substance (the Infinite Mind) ... and this One Substance manifests itself on different levels of vibration/energy. Here is an excerpt from Frederick Dodson's book Levels of Energy which does a much better job of explaining it than I could: As everything is Infinity everything is also Energy. The physical universe with its space and time, its objects, its nature, its people, its planets, its universes is energy. The non-physical universe of thought, emotion, spirit and various planes is energy. That one energy manifests spectrally [on a spectrum] in many different forms, shapes, qualities, radiations, densities. An analogy : Steam, Water and Ice are one thing manifesting in different qualities. The premise of this book is that there are clearly definable, perceivable and achievable qualities or "levels" of energy and that each level corresponds with... The: • specific states of mind and emotion • specific words, behaviors and actions • specific surroundings, environments, objects and places • specific qualities, moods and intentions • specific methods of "moving upward" • and specific modes of perception and truth (Source: Levels of Energy by Frederick Dodson) See the attached documents for the 1-1000 scale of the levels of energy (*the numbers are arbitrary, it could be 1-10 or 1-1,000,000... the point is that we are rating the levels of consciousness in relation to each other) Levels of Energy is a global idea that is present in pretty much every spiritual tradition and school all around the world. "Levels of heaven and hell" is a surprisingly popular concept that can be found all over the world. (specific examples can be found in Fred Dodson's book Journeys Through Spectral Consciousness which is linked below) just a few examples off the top of my head are: - the 6 realms of Buddhism - heaven and hell in Christianity - tama, raja, sattva levels in Hinduism - the 6 realms in Norse mythology - Jainism - The Four/Five worlds of Kabalah - Theosophy - Freemasonry - Shamanism and those are all the ones off the top of my head as of right now... more examples in the 2nd book that is linked below. Main insights: Higher levels are not necessarily better than lower levels. Some levels are more appropriate than others in different circumstances. For example, people in Africa who are being oppressed by a tyrant (160) due to their chronic fear (100) and apathy (50) would be benefitted greatly by the liberating force of anger (160) that pushes them to revolt and stand up for themselves. Therefore, the level of energy that you need to be effective in your life is relative to your situation. Higher levels have more agency and control over their bodies and minds. Very awake beings like that guy Om Swami (probably around 680) could stop his heart at will. Whereas psychiatric patients bordering on psychosis (15) can't even control their own bodies. Angels and demons actually exist. Demonic beings resonate extremely low (into the negatives) and can possess and influence humans that habitually vibrate extremely low (30 and under). In this "negative energy realm" respect and status is given to those who behave as devilishly as possible... harming others is seen as a good thing! On the other hand, angelic beings (800s) have the power to create miracles (like in the story of "Our Lady of Guadalupe") and positively impact the trajectory global consciousness for many years (as long as it is for the Highest Good). Higher energy places, things, people, and emotions are higher energy because they are more in alignment with the Highest Good. Lower energy places, things, people, and emotions are lower energy because they are less in alignment with the Highest Good. Low Energy is powerless... so don't be scared of demons possessing you. People, places, and things that resonate very low on the scale have pretty much no power over higher energy levels (which is why they must use force). Raising your energy is the main goal of personal development work. The higher your baseline energy state... the more powerful, awake, and compassionate you become. Releasing pockets of low energy from your psyche (Shame 30, Guilt 40, Apathy 50, Despair 80, Fear 100) can help you to raise your base vibration as you can imagine a human being as consisting of many sub-parts and personalities. Holding on to low energy parts dampens our overall energy level... so releasing them helps us ascend. Levels of Energy are measured mostly through familiarity with the scale and one's own intuition and feeling. One can say to oneself "this car is at 100" and feel if that resonates... "this car is at 200" and feel if that resonates. The point about measurement is that it's not important that you get an EXACT measurement. It's still very helpful to understand the general gist of a person, place, or thing's energy level. (For example, a university library would probably resonate somewhere in the 400s... I don't know the exact number and I don't really need to know because I generally understand that it would be higher than a shopping mall parking lot (190 - 200). Frederick Dodson doesn't believe in the universality of muscle testing like David Hawkins does and I definitely agree with him there. Muscle testing is too volatile... the results can be biased so easily. Yes, I understand that I'm saying to just "use your intuition" and that's volatile too... but even muscle testers rely heavily on their intuition to make their calibrations. Thinking that the calibrations is coming only from kinesiology is too limiting... your own emotions can tell you what something resonates at just by feeling into it. So, the question "how do we measure levels of energy" is a tricky one... for people who are already relatively conscious (500+) shouldn't have too much of an issue with just using their own intuitions along with familiarity with the scale.,. people who resonate lower will have a more difficult time calibrating energy (especially if they aren't familiar with the scale) and people below 200 are unlikely to get any accurate calibrations. As a life coach, I can testify that being familiar with the levels of energy scale is about as valuable as being familiar with the stages of ego-development... it helps me coach clients because I know where they are energetically and how to move them upwards. It helps me understand human behavior a lot more... as I "know what to expect" from people based on what energy they habitually resonate on. Levels of Energy is just a model and the map is not the territory... it's just a language that helps to explain subtle and nuanced aspects of reality In conclusion Because of it's practical uses in self-actualization (giving one a map to orient themselves in the process of ascending their consciousness)... Because of it's explanatory power of sometimes-confusing metaphysical topics (such as the existence of hell realms and heaven realms... astral entities... ego and enlightenment etc.) And because of it's repeated appearance in pretty much every ancient mythology/metaphysics. I think that any Pure Philosophy would be incomplete without at least some recognition of the "Levels of Energy." Want to learn more? I highly recommend Frederick Dodson's book (and audiobook) Levels of Energy where he does a fantastic job explaining this topic in simple language. He also explains each stage in depth and gives questions and exercises to help you release stuck energy so that you can ascend higher. He also gives plenty of real world examples of each level so that you can get a tangible sense of each level. I also recommend his book (and audiobook) Journey's Through Spectral Consciousness where he describes over 12 "levels of energy systems" from the world's ancient cultures and religions. Checkout the audiobooks here (I really enjoyed them!) https://www.audible.ca/series/Levels-of-Energy-Audiobooks/B071VR66CT?ref=a_pd_Levels_c2_series_1&pf_rd_p=cb924f71-c921-4595-aa78-22de125f6e26&pf_rd_r=M9MAT2K0VM0A29F4G7YB I'm also going to make a video series where I explain each stage in depth to make this info more available. I think that it is as powerful as Spiral Dynamics and Ego Development. It will be on my YouTube channel within the month.

Eh... once or twice a week is fine... not a big deal

Hey! I wanted to make a nice website for my business like @Leo Gura... I basically have all the time in the world and am open to learning to skills... I want this to be the long-term platform for my life's work. I want to have a blog, courses, and eventually even a forum. I've thought of a couple options... Right now I'm using Kajabi to host my website, course, and email marketing... I can create a blog and stuff on there but it's pricey ($200/month). The other option is that I make my own website... So my question is... What's the best way for me to go about doing that? I have an entry-level amount of website building experience... I just know the basics of how to get hosting and a little bit of word-press. How do I start? What do you reccomend?

@thenondualtankie the torturous deaths are usually the ones that leave residue or karma that cathy on to future lifetimes. The peaceful deaths wouldn't be picked up.

So recently I went to go see a shaman who is a professional energy clearer and past-life reader. (an older man... late 50s) The reason why I went to go see him is because he was reccomended to a friend of mine by my some of my favorite buddhist meditation teachers who I've done many retreats with (not blue Buddhists... turquoise Buddhists).... for clearing her chronic migranes. This guy can pick up on a person's past lives that are relevant to know in one's current life. (turned out, that girl had a past life where she was killed by having her head put in a head crusher)... that explains the migranes. [Things like having a strong fear of falling (in my case) might probably be the result of past lives resulting in death by falling. (which he actually picked up 3 past lives where I died from falling)]. I also noticed that people tend to re-incarnate in cultures or ethnicities that they have already lived as... my heritage is Italian and I've had multiple past lives in Italy and Europe... whereas an African may have many African past lives or a Chinese many Chinese past lives. When I went to go see him with my girlfriend. He asked question about any emotional or physical traumas that we experienced in our lives... and did a great job of reading the energy. It felt like he would know things about my past injuries that he would have no business knowing. Then he had me lie down and basically just touched my body in certain ways that felt like energy was being cleared or released. After about 10 minutes... I stood up and felt a bit dizzy... but overall slightly shifted energy... feeling like a lot of physical and emotional trauma had been cleared. Like for example...I mentioned to him that I've had problems with eczema (skin rash) for my entire life... and he immediately picked up that it was from a past life where I lived in a leper colony. I would also have nightmares of my teeth being yanked out or them growing in my mouth in hideous ways... He picked up that was because I had a life where I was tortured (by having my teeth yanked out) and killed. I trust this guy because his energy was very grounded and genuine. I could really tell that he was a professional. So he later that night he tapped into my energy after meeting me in person and channeled some oddly detailed and insightful information about my past lives (that are relevant in my current life). Here is the list: *attached* (you'll notice that the dates and locations are historically accurate... ex. "Died in gladiator uprising in southern Italy" was the exact date of the 2nd gladiator war that happened in Sicily in the year 100 B.C. Interesting stuff! Apparently I died from mustard gas in WW1 ?. Would explain my chronic sinus problems that I struggled with my whole life The verdict: obviously this stuff (like all ideas) should be held loosely... but I think that you would have to be pretty dense to not at least be open to the idea of past lives. I paid this guy $100USD for this session and I'd say that it was overall a pretty worthwhile experience. My girlfriend had a crazy past life (that was not conventional... similar to Dolores canon's "the three waves of volunteers" where she uncovered alien past lives from earthly people who had inhabited different densities and dimensions in their past lives) but I don't want to share the details as it's not my place to share it.

You can thank me later. Pure Turquoise and Beyond.

I believe in his journals published in the book "One Taste" he describes oscillating through periods of "research" and periods of "writing." During his research days... he would usually read 2-5 books per day. If he found a book that was particularly important he might spend the whole day on it... or even multiple days... re-rereading it and highlighting.

Hey guys, I wanted your opinion on this... My girlfriend is a very smart and spiritually connected girl... she's very stage yellow to be honest and moving into turquoise! We are a very good match in most aspects... Except for that she despises when I watch porn. She says that she can feel how my sex energy is being put into pictures of virtual women on a screen. She feels like it's cheating. We've had plenty of arguments about it...and I've tried quitting but to be honest I kind of don't want to quit. Keep in mind, it's not like I watch porn every day... I usually do it once or twice in a week. She doesn't want to have sex w me when I've watched porn in the last few days and then she complains that we don't have enough sex. And ultimately... she said that she'd break up with me if I don't quit watch porn forever. Soooooooooooooooo what's your opinion on this matter? Should I break up w her? Should I quit porn forever (even though I don't want to)? Granted it'll might tough to find another girl like her (even though I do have good game and plenty of options) I'm so confused...

Update: After lots of pain and suffering and arguing my girlfriend and I finally reached the realization that there is absolutely nothing wrong with me pleasuring myself to porn. We were literally on the verge of breaking up because I refused to give up masterbating (because it would be me feel repressed). And after I finally decided to end the relationship... she had a long deep think about her own bias and selfishness and completely realized that there is absolutely nothing wrong with me watching porn because I'm an awesome guy and I love her. And it doesn't even detract from our sex life... She literally admitted that she was being a selfish fuck. And her mind was filled with overly-idealistic fantasies from stage green social media content talking about "divine masculine and feminine energy"... mainly talking about how "real men" don't watch porn.... but eventually she realized that truth that "real men" are so God-realized that they are free to do whatever the fuck they want because reality is all Love anyways. So the moral of the story is guys... do what feels right... even if other people make you feel ashamed or guilty for doing what feels right. Just do it and trust that if you genuinely enjoy something and it isn't directly harming other people... just fucking do it.

Thanks everyone so many amazing answers and so helpful to get your opinions on the matter!

@assx95 It does help to masterbate less when doing pick-up. Your natural masculine energy willcome through more in the interaction. Beware of the trap of basing your self-worth on how much cum is in your balls. I've had states in my life where I would watch a TON of porn and then go clubbing the same night and still be confident, free, and in a great state! Do what works for you.

Thank you I will explore this deeply in myself. Now it feels like I have less freedom to kind of do what I want... slowly... the appeal of porn to me to getting lesser and lesser... but I do feel like I need to burn through this karma naturally... Quitting porn because someone else told me to won't ever work long-term... When I do go for periods without it... I do it because of how it makes me feel. It is my energy after all and I like to feel free to do what I like with it.

Yeah I totally get your point of view and I also get her point of view as well. She feels like I'm wasting my precious sexual energy and putting towards the image of another woman... But I don't think that women fully understand that men's brains are literally wired to desire sex with many different women. Women biologically want 1 man to love and fuck them as deeply and fully as possible... Whereas men just want to spread their seed far and wide... Where I'm at now... I generally don't watch porn that frequently... my life energy kind of ebb and flows towards periods (of a week or two) of no porn, no video games, just pure focus and work... And then every once (after a week or two) and I while it feels natural to play some video games and if I haven't came in a while... it feels good to kind of "get the energy out"... It helps me be less on edge when I'm not full of semen. As for why don't I just have sex with her? Well, for one, masturbating alone is a completely different experience than sexual intercourse. Having sex requires tremendous focus and energy (for the guy mostly) and if I feel very tired... lazy... and just want to cum... it's a lot less pressure and more relaxing for me to just masturbate on my own. My girlfriend says that she "feels" when I've masturbated... which is pretty obvious. My energy is slightly less. That being said... in Tantra... partners would masturbate themselves before intercourse... so as to lessen the tendency for pursuing selfish gratification and focus on gratifying the other person. So... sometimes, when I have less cum in my balls... I find that I can actually have better sex that lasts much longer. So, obviously I gotta talk with her about this (which I have) it just feels like asking me to NEVER WATCH PORN EVER AGAIN is kind of a big ask... and I'm a 22 year-old guy is not realistic. I like masturbating to porn sometimes... big fucking deal. It feels good when it does and when it becomes excessive I usually just naturally end up quitting for a week or two. But for her... she feels like she can't relax and surrender fully because she doesn't trust me... but... maybe she can just try surrendering even if I watch porn? Is porn cheating? Such a weird topic...

Yeah I'm 22. After I go 1 week without cumming I start humping the walls (figuratively of course)

@Thought Art She's psychic and feels it energetically. It's pretty hard to hide.
