Actually you're not really one person but a collection of billions of cells, dying and regenerating every second. On average all your cells get replaced completely every 7-10 years. But yeah it's really fascinating how fast our idea of identity can change with some simple new insights

Follow what you want to pursuit, thats the only way to be genuine with yourself. It looks like you have been wearing a mask and follow the things people say that will lead to a succesful life but this is probably not your way. Anxiety is created when you feel insecure about what you are doing and are not fully behind it. You can try to cope with your emotions and cary on forcing things or follow what you believe will make you more fullfilled. If it turns out to be something else you thought of then thats no problem, it's a continious path of self-discovery. You are not alone there are many people who feel like this. Taking steps toward what you want makes you more comfortable in any situation.

EDIT: I had to add these!

I'm trying to make a scheme that shows how these concepts arise from eachother. This is what I got until now so if you have something to add or just want to leave a comment than please go ahead.

It would be nice if we would have some kind of knowledge tree with the "most" fundamental videos grouped together and more specific ones that might apply to those in extra categories? Maybe you can watch the most watched ones since they probably are shared most and might have the best impact?

@Scholar They also do that in Kundalini Yoga if i'm correct. I don't know if it does anything specific, but it looks like it represents uniting the two sides and going from the lower chakras to the crown "where you release the energy". Brining the hands together closes the movement and is the starting of your meditation. That's how I see it

When the two bubbles meet a new reality is created in the form of life, that's why love could be seen as infinite, it streches across an entire reality

@Razvan That's true but you are a human after all and have to live a life with an ego. The hearth is probably the best guide and closer to our being than our mind.

@Old Soul That's why I'm also looking into some prepping just in case (not building a fortress haha). Cities will definitely be one big mess, no way to cultivate food, high risk of disease, all the things that go with high density population. I'm really wanting to collect much knowledge how to start from simple basics and expand from there when starting with nothing. If it were to happen it would be nice to get a community of sane people together that have and share the same knowledge and perspective of how to restart a society. What is missing is a good comprehensive guide that includes most knowledge from survival and farming to advanced math and complexer tools.

No need for nukes, a simple EMP will wipe out all major electricity transformers which will take atleast several years to replace. Cut out the electricity and everthing comes to a halt. Amsterdam had a blackout some weeks ago, normal life just halted entirely haha. Best moment of reflection for people EDIT: The maya's celebrated their new year by extinguishing all fire and lightsources througout the whole nation! Then at one place the fire was lit again and was spread through the whole country, connecting people to each other and the here and now. A total national blackout each year would really raise conciousness.

@Old Soul I'm in for the end of this paradigm which will certainly not go without much hassle and hysteria. The things i dislike the most is this high tempo of work, capitalistic praising and making people insecure if they are happy with their wealth. Some should write a guide how to approach the fall haha

@Old Soul Now that is just a perspective you have. You can see it as a struggle that you and your partner have or something you can work on and as room for improvement.

@Old Soul I think that (virtual) porn is one of the most undermining things to our human beings. It will probably only increase being lower conciouss satisfaction since it is only about getting a short "high". If it was connected to someone you love it would have a function but now you just throw energy in a virtual void. What is there to gain except short term satisfaction?

Artificial Intelligence will never replace real human connection imo. The more something is imperfect the greater the love one can genuinely give. Embracing imperfection is loving your self for the reality you live in. I doubt the future will be completely digital, probably the exact opposite and rejection of the virtual realm. A second renaissance, start living in the here and now and not some virtual projection.

@pluto @RossE @jse @abrakamowse @WaveInTheOcean Thanks for reading and giving feedback. I really appreciate it a lot!

Yes it is possible but you have to let go of all concepts. The ego tries to conceptualize and your true self feels. If you follow your hearth then everything else will eventually align and this is liberation. Someone already posted this but I found this an excellent video:

I don't really have one: Leo, Alan Watts, Terence Mckenna, Sogyal Rinpoche and Albert Einstein are a few persons I respect highly.

I really like the people on this forum! They are all on the same vibe of being present or atleast working towards becoming that. I myself had a large friend group but they are really into partying all day long so I only have one good friend. People have this idea of having many friends will make you happy but for me it's really quality of quanitiy. Same way I don't like small talk, it feels like it's only there to fill some silence and is in its core pretty void.

@Barna Do you know if the freebase experience is much different from the salt form (commonly hcl)?

@Barna Basically the illusion I currently live and that will be destroyed anyway, but that has already happened with a ego death on shrooms. I don't know, is it not weird to feel afraid for the most revealing experience?

@Barna Stop teasing me! I want to experience 5-Meo so bad haha. It will probably knock my socks off and much more lol..

This concept is called Solipsism and the possibility of being real cannot be excluded. If you think about it life is full of surprises and even if everything is only you or the only experience you ever will truly know you are really good at creating an unknown future where everything is possible. Things and people are just very interesting because they all hold a hidden world of personal views and surprises that will always challenge your own experience and can be really fun! I can imagine that if you really get obsessed with the idea this can lead to some existential crisis but you will never know if it is really true or not. Why should you worry about this if you know life is like a game. The time you are here there is so much to discover and question this perspective that it is quite fun

@Barna The machine elves already showed me some awesome stuff. Haven't broken through completely with a large dose since I still have a lot to work on. What I experienced so far was very cool and didn't know that there could really be something so intelligent out there in hidden reality but that's a story for another time

@PureExp @Barna Thank you both for your comment! I think i confused becoming "more aware" with having a larger variety of contents (which is also maybe an illusion).

I understand what you mean, entire reality is awareness otherwise you could not experience it. However i'm looking to expand my awareness in a practical way that i can focus on things that are still out of my current perception? How can you make a blind man aware of colors? He clearly lacks skill in survival and is not able to experience that visual reality and all the concepts that arise from it. His experience might be awareness but it is still limited in some sense where he can go with his mind. I'm looking for techniques or tools to can broaden my perspective to become more aware of how thing arise from reality. An example of raising awareness with a tool is an infrared camera, a completely unseen world but now gives deep insight of states of matter. Psychedelics might be a tool for the mind but are there any other techniques outside of meditation?
