Hello:) Ausar is holding a satsang this Saturday. It will be about Enlightenment, Light Body, Gold Light Sutra and more. Should be interesting! Theres also a transmission at the end. https://ausar.org/upcoming-discourses-and-satsangs/

when you let go fully, and dissolve into nothing and infinity, you of course also let go of all control over yourself. when in this state, has any of you had the unfortunate experience of doing something really stupid? since you're not in control of yourself i mean. like screaming wildly for the neighbours to hear, or jumping out the window?

In a sense, they are sounds. Just like you can hear sounds with your ears you can "hear" thoughts with your awareness.

I'll trip sit u

San Diego, CA, USA and Oslo, Norway. Originally from Norway but I study in the US. Spend time both places though

i do some pranayama! 10 min before every meditation session. my meditation becomes easier that way. i don't know about other effects but i feel like it is healthy in some way. i know people who play wind instruments tend to experience a bunch of health benefits, science has told me

Try them out for yourself over a period of time. If they change your state of mind, dont they work? I listen to alpha and or gamma waves 1 hour daily. Sometimes during meditation, sometimes not. I have no evidence of any physical changes in my brain but I sure have experiental evidence - my state of mind changes when I listen to it.

experiment with it, see what works for you i would think tripping at night vs day is a very minor factor in affecting your experience

when that frightening feeling comes at that point, do two things: allow it to be and allow yourself to feel it (don't try to change it), and give yourself love. right, give yourself the forgiveness that reality gives you unconditionally at any time regardless of anything. See if you can feel that love and trust yourself to it. I do this and it helps me surrender

@Max_V that's what it does my man. it is the same way when people get anxiety or depression after a breakthrough psychedelic trip. your ego gets afraid of how much you let it go and goes wild in neuroticism trying to grasp back on everything it held before you broke through ++. This happens when getting deep meditation sessions sometimes too, just on a smaller scale. Don't worry bout it, its good, its the path

@Azrael Hey! What are you studying, if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you all !!

So my mom has cancer and more specifically a brain tumour. She is strong and has survived 3 years longer than the doctors predicted (2 years). We have looked into and used many "alternative" treatments such as ketogenic diet, meditation, acupuncture and trying to be more relaxed and joyful about life. These things have helped. Classical treatments such as sedative prescription drugs have also helped to an extent. However much these things have helped, she is currently getting worse. I was thinking psychedelics perhaps could help "clean" her and trash some of the closed up and negative energetic movements inside of her that fuel the growth of the cancer. However, I am afraid she might die consuming them. Do you guys think 5 meo can help her or cancer patients in general ? Or is it too risky, especially considering her tumour is in the brain? Thank you, people

will a moderator or leo stop these two please

I totally agree with you, Leo. But for the sake of communication I think using the word physical is mostly confusing. Unless you deliberately say it that way because of all the things you said in your last insight post...
