Thanks @Tyler Robinson and @integral for starting the thread. I had reported on one before so I'll just leave it here:

You still gotta work through the self-deception post-trips, in some ways more so if you just take everything very literally on trips. And no you're not the first human/only one to have realized that, nor does that really matter. Though in a very micro sense we all have unique experiences with each awakening (with broad commonalities) so in that sense you can say that's unique to you. We're all becoming our full potential and even "becoming" is itself illusory as it already is and just need to be realized/remembered.

Just let them be unless there's an opening. If it's too much create some distance.

Narcissism is a result of trauma/lack of love usually and a very dissociated state, but if you're acknowledging it it's probably not a full blown NPD case more likely BPD (but don't take me too serious there's very little info to go off of..), if that's what you're pointing us to. I would recommend therapy since you seem to be receptive.

If you're at that point growing your consciousness would be one of the main focus if I were you. This helps to prepare for your next journey/incarnation.

Everyone has their "time", it's not a problem. Living primarily not from the ego perspective (or "integrated ego") and from the cosmic is something you arrive at after you've exhausted living as the ego and the pull of divine love/consciousness is so great that it can "wipe out" what you've known before as you allow it to enter your reality. Fear/discomfort is about the change and not knowing/uncertainty, not the thing itself. And there's a whole range of baseline consciousness too it's just where you feel more "at home" and moved to grow into.

Yes because All is Well no matter what you do or not do (at the highest level). You are Eternal and indestructible.

Most therapists (I should really say all because none of them understand reality and the truth of what you are) I came across don't fully understand what healing means due to their level of consciousness, most are not what I consider "fully healed" themselves or have experienced things like depression, but they can still be of help and it's a job that allows room for creativity. Healing bleeds into spirituality and expansion of consciousness which is not currently a focus in psychotherapy. So all in all if you're in this community and interested in trauma healing, my sense is that you don't necessarily need that official registration, unless you can't see yourself doing something different/on your own. The main advantages with a registration (and also simultaneously disadvantageous) is that you are regulated by a board, it is more recognized by the public, and people with insurance can get reimbursed.

From the perspective of the One/God, there's no other. But this One contains all. And you and God are sharing even though you are also One. So from the perspective of a divided/seperated mind, there is another. It's just that ultimately our minds are united in the One. Reality is a paradox and it's actually something you can find a lot of joy in. For instance, you are both sovereign and never truly alone at the same time . Appearances will deceive and say you and I appear to be seperate, but our minds are joined no matter what. This link is indestructible. Whether or not one has the powers and to what degree to retrieve things from the limited mind is another story. Depending on your "abilities", you can intuit how "other minds" work and its patterns, as well as when it makes a shift. And I would say we're all evolving to a same kind of mind from the source of which it came, at varying stages. Each broad stages you can start to recognize once you've gone through it.

That sounds insanely hard. I would go two pronged approach ..one is seeking refuge in God and knowing that you're Eternal. The second is see if you can ask the Universe and get help/a response on what creative solutions might come your way to set you free. You have nothing to lose, keep asking.

Just a little "blip" and detour before "returning home" .

I would say go with your strengths when it comes to "service". As it stands now politics is not friendly to people like that, so you can still care but not get deeply involved if that makes sense. But service can come in many forms than politics.

Hello, I am reporting on and sharing something new I've been experiencing continuously (without psychedelics). I do not know if this is simply what people lump into as part of "third eye opening", or something else, I could not find detailed descriptions of it through a simple online search so I'll share it here: Historical context: I've had a few awakenings on magic mushrooms, my last trip was a month and a half ago. Lately, my focus has been on unifying my baseline consciousness as much as I can, and was not expecting any more awakenings/experiences while I was focused on that. Since about a week ago, I've been spontaneously perceiving more "light" in my sober state. I can't recall the exact moment it happened but at some point during the day, I noticed a white-gold glow to everything, and increasing day after day until it was very noticeable and stabilized. The amount of glow would vary depending on what is being perceived, its tone, the amount of light that is shining on it. Everything is generally brighter, taking on a "light gold" hue, as well as made more beautiful, artful, clear, and magical in its essence. The amount of visual clarity/details and perfection still stuns me at times, and was similar to one I experienced on a trip. Staring at screens can be blinding but is not uncomfortable. My current interpretation of all this based on my previous trip/peak experiences: an aspect of the Universal Mind of God is becoming more accessible in my day-to-day reality. The light of divinity is re-interpreting my perception of reality. As a side note, I could perceive the extremely bright shine and glow that magic mushrooms have that I was unable to perceive before. It feels as though these plants are of "extraterrestrial origin" due to how brightly they shine compared to other objects and plants/people. But this is purely an intuitive speculation for fun that may or may not have truth to it and I could not verify at the moment. Thanks for reading! I hope that it inspires new possibilities for you. : )

One day you will see the "unreal" for what it is and not get dragged into it as much or at all. Don't get too distracted by the unreal, focus on the real, would be my suggestion with things in the relative domain.

@Galyna Thank you! There’s more to say and I’m still thinking about how/what to share… hope it helps a little for now.

Something like that. Hopefully my next "roll" will be somewhere more loving than earth plane. Don't know how much control I'll have over it for sure..

Thank you! I'm very happy with this state so there are no issues with integration right now. And it can't be lumped with ordinary consciousness humans are initially given. It's made things more magical, and feels like an answer I am receiving from my call so to speak if that makes sense, like spirit being with me and helping me see/navigate this world. It feels very right to me like this is where I belonged. So it really just feels like a gift that I would not want to take for granted. Also there are some things I am understanding intuitively and why this is happening, but I don't feel that comfortable sharing it here yet.

Lmao that's fun, good to know! Thank you very much! Yeah definitely wasn't expecting it and for it to stick around too.

Update/addition: There's a sense of more aliveness and things have slight movements and no longer appear static, but not overly so like on trips. This along with the hyper visual acuity aspect seems to be more of a temporary state and the rest remains.

You don't need a degree to design and start a business. What you need the most is capital and efficient processes/organization, and the other skills you can learn on your own these days. I guess it depends on your goals. After a business major you will still be faced with actually designing a business from scratch and the capital initially (along with loans usually). In hindsight knowing what I know now, and if business is where you know you want to be or at least attempt it, it would've been more intelligent to work some job and save up a bunch of money for starting a business along with the money you save by not paying a post-secondary institution (or just take select courses which are targed for designing a successful business) which tend to be overpriced in comparison to what the market can actually sustain. The education system as is currently has an underlying "indentured servitude" built in that they do not inform you of, by getting people into debts in a specific narrow field and such that you can only find work in that field and forced to climb some ladder from the bottom with no guarantee whatsoever. If you change your mind about your profession you're left with debt and years of lost time which you could use for building a business and assets. I'm not saying there's no downside as well as risks to business where you could also lose time and money, but the risk may be equally or possibly lower than getting an education depending on what kind of business you're getting into and there's more you can tweak and be in control of than the alternative. As a tangent, just the fact that you cannot default on a student loan but can declare bankruptcy with other loans should tell you a lot about what the system favors currently. Needless to say I am not talking about the case where you had a more specific profession that you are quite convinced of getting into that definitely requires technical training then that's still the only option. The main thing that skews this decision (from an economic standpoint starting out) for most people is their parents lack of support in them pursuing business and biased towards getting a degree. Other than the above there are jobs that pay quite well being an employee with no prior training (or very short training duration) and mostly in the skills labor, and you're not as exploited by the system. It's just good to know the truth of things of what you're getting into with all your time/energy.

@Revolutionary Think Good for you. Sometimes you just gotta tell them the damn truth. It can be a loving thing too, stir someone out of delusion for once hopefully.

I feel as though there may be some kind of trade off happening when you're more "spiritually gifted"/inclined. It seems as though some of us are meant to be "monks" if you know what I mean.. As much as I wanted to do more my body just isn't cooperating. It's pretty frustrating.

Thanks! I think it would compel people to make better-quality posts when they do. Also a shift towards doing the inner work.

Maybe like a number of post limit per day.

Thank you. I've been a sponge for spiritual teachings and have a pretty good sense of where I want to go and whether something resonates (tho not expecting this to happen). I suspect this particular shift is related to "healing the mind", which seems that it can go so far that your mind can fundamentally shift from what you were given. I've been on a healing journey alongside awakening, which seems like they have an influence on each other, so the way I use mushrooms is both for healing and awakening. And a lot of just sober absorbing teachings that resonate with me. I trip infrequently but it certainly helped move mountains also. And a lot of integration and bringing the unity consciousness to my day-to-day interactions, like re-orienting my thoughts of people (especially the difficult ones) for example. I've been drawn to teachings that align with light and the highest love and try to bring that into my own consciousness. My mind and heart are in pretty good balance. I've either mostly dissolved/sublimated the ego or integrated it to align with unity consciousness. That or I've turned into a freak ... definitely feels like a major "software" upgrade. Feel free to message me if you want to know more. I think everyone's on a different page so it can be hard to know what suits you right now where you're at.
