Any other natural supplements that are great?

I would suggest planting some fruit tree seeds.

@Loreena Pisces ruleeeee, high five!

I have some experience with noopept, alpha gpc, aniracetam and piracetam. Piracetam is not worth it, too much hcl salt and effects are not that appearent. Aniracetam should br stronger and also have anxiolitic properies. Noopet is appearent and seems to work, but should only be used incidental to learn for exams or something like that. Eventually your thought are sooo organized and go fast that you feel like a emotionless robot. Some people also get arrogant and think they know everything. So in general, use it incidental if you really need it or just keep a heathy diet/exercise/brain stimulation like reading or making music and then you should be fine.

Sensory overstimulation. Keep being bored its good! It will also make you more focused.

Space and time is relative and so is the mind. No absolute, your world is the exact center of all experience so to say. Question? If everything is relative, then absolute doesn't exist at all. Name me one thing thats completely absolute in the universe, that would probably the center of all that is.

@Will Spot on, you are right there is no good or bad. It's all matter of perspective, as long as we survive we are living good, since thats the act of beint alive, not getting killed. Outside from that its all up to the person, he can do whatever he wants, but if others agree that its correct is their problem. How to let go one should find out themselves, there is no one path.

@Will Leo has a video on Balance, its key to everything in life! Extremism is bad in any area, they lose sight and indeed wander away from what they want to achieve. A little from everything right? By the way, how to let go and live peacefully? Follow your heart, this is your real brain and reflects you are in sync with all around. Hitler did these things from fear, he was bullied and took revenge if I may say that. He clearly did not follow his heart, purely ego driven.

Then that's a great thing to discover! Keeping doing what you love and understand that draw backs are part of life and are the greatest opportunity to learn/improve. Did you opinion shift of how content you are when you got older?

Lets get things clear. What you say is completely true, there is no absolute thing to know or to be achieved. This is true for non-duality, it won't take you anywhere on an intellectual level, because it is without thought and can only be lived without it. You are in the here and now, you let things go naturally without really thinking about them, then there is no need for better achievement. All IS already present! However since we don't live in non-duality, most if not all of our society is living in the duality of thinking. This is the realm of choice, perspective on good or bad, a possibility to make something better or worse, creating or destroying, following the dreams by doing what you think and say or always putting it further in you agenda. Actualizing is here to learn how to improve living in the duality, understanding what non-duality is and how we transform it for the better. If you feel it doesn't help you, then it won't! But if you find passion and joy in understanding yourself, others and getting some big picture to put things into perspective then your in the right place. The choice is up to you!

Ask yourself what the threat is? You feel a slight existential crisis, but where does the fear come from? Probably you want to grasp all these concepts and get it right, there needs to be some REAL ground right? In fact there isn't, atleast no concept you can think of. Only being is the most true experience you have direct access to. Don't think, listen, feel, take a deep breath. What are the most distance sounds you are aware of? Do you feel your awareness expand? Once the awareness of the surroundings grows your silly thoughts shift to the background. You experience the now in full presence, let it be.

Accept what is and strive to live a balanced and happy life. Only when you can forgive yourself there will be room to grow.

I was wondering how you guys look at this topic. Some people only had one life partner in their lives and didn't date any other, would this be foolish because you limit what you have seen? Other might argue the person would be great at commitment and is able to explore the whole spectrum of having a long relationship, with many short ones you might never come close to that same understanding. What are your thoughts? Do you think having few long is better than having seen many relations?

The funny thing is that there is nothing to gain reaching enlightenment. You're only losing 'things'

I was having this conversation with my friend that only then the mind stops to think we come closer to our true nature. All philosophies, books, movies fill our minds with all these things what to expect and where to look for, but resulting in the exact opposite of becoming. The only things you can do to become enlightened is nothing. That's it, nothing more, nothing less. So if you haven't experienced non-duality, stop seeking, wandering topics, filling your mind with concepts and just sit still. Only afterwards these things might enhance living the duality, but will certainy not help you getting further to enlightment.

4 hours in nature, presence was greatly increased during/afterwards. The funny thing was you start to notice all the dynamic relations between animals/wind/sounds/etc, great insight

@Leo Gura Excellent! No hurry, but it's wise for now that if you notice psychedelics you tell folks to do their own research. The more experienced people/actualizers might now how to handle certain paradigm shifts but for some it might be too overwhelming. The shift might happen anyway for those but a prior notice is appreciated.

I'm interested in the shamanic use of psychedelics and already have had many different experiences. My main concern is that people don't really know the implications, it's litteraly mind altering and most of the beginners don't know where to start and think of. It would be wise for harm reduction and safety to explain that people shoudnt do anything dangerous while taking psychedelics. Needing to be somewhere is also a no-go since time will lose meaning it can make you unconfortable to have things on your agenda. There are many more points one should think of but @Leo Gura can probably work those out? It think it's a good addition to the general subject "concious psychedelic use".

How would you architect your life with so much freedom? What would you do? How would you keep yourself busy or connected to "normal" life? We are not used to so much freedom and probably haven't really thought about the implications that arise. Unlimited freedom & structure two things that can be difficult to combine, how would you do it?

God's knowledge is so omni potent it will burn away your human existence. Knowing how to become god will probably drive you nuts.

@Joel3102 Get lots of excersise, sporting will make you more aware of your body and co-ordination. Avoid caffeine (coffee, energy drinks), cortisol tends to create stress which further enhances your symptoms. Cold showers, all things that make you feel alive and stimulate your touch/skin to be more in your body. These are some things that are great at making that body/mind gap smaller.

This is actually your preceived paradigm breaking because some insight you have that challenges deep fundamental assumptions you hold to be true. Awakenings like these can turn into existantial crisis or to pure bliss and a glimpse of what enlightenment is like. The key is to understand that you move within a certain pressumed paradigm but you let everything that doesn't fit open for interpretation. No paradigm is perfect, all are flawed in someway, thats why there exist so many different views.

Or intelligent life realizes it's exactly where it has to be and there is no point of traveling somewhere else. Life blooms where the conditions are favourable, so no need to terraform death planets that die anyway. Favour the here and now

@Ry4n You will figure that out along the way my friend You haven't seen the rabbit hole yet.

I think you should work yourself up, going straight for 5 Meo could be extremely overwhelming. It's overwhelming anyway but then you know atleast how to properly integrate psychedelic experiences in your normal life.
