Principium Nexus

@Nahm I actually observed this geometry with great care when I was in the induced state by Nitrous Oxide, my friends are normally doing it for fun and look at the content that enjoys them, whereas I try to understand how this is created in my reality. So normally the wah-wah effect is pretty common on this, it's time is echo'ing/jojo-ing/stuttering and slowly going forwards. The nitrous oxide actually made time go so slow, that I kind of felt time as coming in waves or the oscillation of change (maybe between the two hemispheres?), but I felt I could experience absolute time. Now what is absolute time, isn't it continuous? Yes, time is continuous, but like we all know the universe is build from frequency or waves. The wave itself is continuous, but it does consist of certain properties like the amplitude and a wavelength (often called lamda). The absolute part is where you experience a wavelength of the smallest duration possible. Now how does this wah-wah effect and the varja come together? The varja how I experienced it were like these diamond structures or fractals like in a grid that pulsated together with how I experienced forward progression of time, but this felt like ground zero, like I knew there was no smaller experience of time from there. In physics they say there is a distance called the planck length, which is the smallest possible distance to exist physically in reality. Now this felt the same way, that the physically was no smaller wave to be observed, almost like the wave and the voidness fade into each other? I don't know, it's quite hard to put into words, but this symbol for me certainly left it's awe which I have never experienced with any religious symbol before (coming from the own depths of my mind). So if anyone ever goes into a trace state of nitrous oxide, try to observe the change of time itself Here's also common text or symbols I see on DMT, again looking very similar to Sanskirt or Tibetan stuff.

@Joseph Maynor Have you ever tried n,n-DMT?

@Joseph Maynor Interesting, never done Salvia myself. I did see some very distinct visual on Nitrous Oxide called the Varja also common in Tibetan Buddhism but also Hinduism. The funny thing is that I was so awe-struck how it showed itself I directly draw it when I came back home. Only afterwards I discovered Alex Grey also has them in his drawings and found out the name of this symbol which now represents real spirituality for me. Later on I discovered that someone else also saw this in his vision and I'm wondering if there is some deeper meaning why we see certain geometric shapes. They should tell us something about deep psychology or pattern recognition or how the brain works or percieves reality. Here's the report from some random person I found on the web: http://eyesblackswan.blogspot.nl/2011/12/last-reiki-session-i-had-clear-visionof.html

The now is the truth and beyond grasping because it IS. EDIT: You guys always come here and start to think conceptually to hope you come somewhere, but the truth is you won't. The truth is silent, when we are speechless all things are revealed as they are, beyond grasp and comprehension. If you ever been in true love, you know words start to fail, it's not describable and it wouldn't do any justice to do so in words, so we experience reality Unlearn to think, how long can you stop thinking? Observe, be silent and greatness will be revealed.

@Samuel Garcia The truth has always been here but most of fail to see it. Why? Because all human history has been build around pride, it's pride that makes us not want to admit when we are wrong. Atleast most of us find their own personal/family/national pride more important than to reveal its flaws or the real truth so we grow up hiding away the imperfections. Hiding behind modern virtual masks, taking meds instead of tackling the root of the problem. We are always looking for a quick fix and are getting more and more distant from our own feelings and true nature.. It has become so normal that most of fail to see it, living inside their personal bubbles. I think a few ways to broaden our horizon is to seek for the extremes in life. See what extreme wealth and poverty is, extreme world views like religion or atheism, by watching these polar opposites you get a good feeling where they meet half way. Knowing extremes is great to know within which bounderies our reality is playing. Thats why I'm lately interested in watching a wide variety of documenteries about different culutures, movements, etc.

Enlightenment is about balance and being able to keep doing what you love. Follow your heart and let wisdom be your compass. Enjoy life in a mindfull way that resonates with you and you will certainly find truth and enlightenment in this manner. I have experienced complete ego death, been in non-dual states and they show deep insight what our true nature is. For a human life do what makes you happy, in the end that's the only thing worth living for and will serve the greater good too by sharing life energy and awe

@Wes Thoughts You can dedicate more time to travel or to meditate. Actual enlightenment does not have a quick fix, it comes when it has to come and you cannot fasten that process. I would advise to focus on enriching your worldview, seeing cultures, places of nature, meeting new people. Enlightenment imo is a gradual process and if you keep meditating daily you will get there eventually. Indicental long session can be interesting but 30min to 60min a day is normally enough if you keep doing it. You will figure out the appropiate balance yourself eventually. Good luck and namaste!

@Joseph Maynor The fact that they are inaccessible by you means they feel like they are really separate. So in fact that would make them more real and give them their own specific identity.

I would put all this money into sustainable and green energy. Building a village with houses that are expendable when needed and can provide them self with their own water, electricity, heat and if possible food. May all future generation be able to build upon this village and inspire others around the world with this sustainable and independent way of living. A create/social hub which main goal is to pursuit sustainable living so that we can live a healthier/less stressful life, come closer to nature, but still be at the front of innovation and creativity.

@starsofclay Very true, balance for our common modern society life is different than from living in solitude and having all the time of the world. In the end the goal is to live a happy and fullfilling life and how to is done is very subjective.

Could be several reasons. You are not having the real thing and suppressing it with a virtual experience, most probably not based on love. For a man, biologically, when he has sex his sperm is used to fertilize an egg, so after releasing he switches to rest/low energy mode to recharge. I think this is to make sure his quality stays high but it also takes a lot of energy/resources to reproduce his sperm. So afterwards your energy goes into this process instead of being available in other ways. Sexuality goes down a bit, less interaction, overall less energetic. I think the act of making love with a partner is somewhat different. If you really do it out of love and bonding then you will still feel somewhat less energetic, but you carry a certain mindset which empowers you as a man.

@Leo Gura Life is there to experiment, you don't know how valueable it can be to someone else. Might not give them deep insights, but if they have a profound experience of joy this can fuel their life motivation in many ways. No experiment is useless.

Spiral dynamics is how every human psychology evolves. This becomes most appearent when we observe mass psychology like stockmarkets. A very famous and studied phenomena are Elliot Waves, you can see them as learning trends, or hypes until there is a pullback and reflection phase (whether the price reflects the actual value). Studying psycho economical markets (stocks/crypto) you learn a lot about how people think and behave in the big picture. Therefor I will be devoting a subject to this in the future, since psychology couldn't be quantified before but now we can in some way. These patterns apply in all markets and are deeply grounded in our psychogy and resemble some harmonic resonance. Why is this utterly interesting? Because we learn how our minds work, how growth and progress are connected. That pullbacks are essential to growth and some sort of reflection phase. This is an example of how anything in nature grows. Trust me these phenomena are in all markets and grow according to the golden ratio or fibonacci series. The fibonacci series is also widely seen throughout nature, especially in flower peddles. From 1-5 is the hype or the active learning curve, we can call this overall upward progress. Then after the we hit a plateau, generally after 3 impulse waves a corrective phase begins. In human psycholgy this is where the hype pulls back, we find ourselves that the learning is reversing and fall into old habbits. What is learnt is never forgotten and the overall trend of learning is always upwards, so eventually we will find an equillibrium point where both our old habbits (beginning of the trend) and our plateau (highest point of understanding/active learning) find a balance point and level out. In trading this is called consolidation, where all ideas or price point slowly come to one agreement and the break up more or down. If we understand our own psychological rythem we can make better use of it. Especially knowing that going down is not a bad thing and is actually healhy. If something have an expontential curve in nature its crash will be magnificent too! Slow but steady in general is better and more bearable for most. For example a DMT shot into hyperspace can blow the roof off, but coming back with all this insight might plunge you into an existential crisis! Now not everybody will get into one, but some people certainly will. Key is understanding of what growth is. Even for @Leo Gura, who runs this forum and business it is important to know that there isn't an infinite growth, that it comes in waves and if we look to the big picture we are all on a steady upward climb. For me the part to work on now is how to find peace in moments of downward progress. Balance in someway could be the answer, maybe find something else for a while to get your mind refresh with ideas and then come back when you feel inspired again. This applies to all growth! From subscribers, to wellfare, to muscules, learning (psychology), relations!, weather, everything! My life goals is also to dedicate my studies how growth in nature works and may we all benefit from that for the better.

To find truth is to find oneself.

Should be out of tease not because of frustration. People are disgusted from letting other people project their frustration on them in anyway. I think it can be fun and add something extra, after all it all depends on the mood/set and setting.

@SFRL They have some great videos about living in schoolbusses, where they have kitchen, shower, toilet, enough storage space and sometimes pretty large bedroom or living room. I wonder how much fuel that would consume because I have no experience with driving such a vehicle.

In the future I want to largely abolish money because it seems to run our lives to every extent and knowing that I can live and provide myself without earning or having it is a freeing thought. So I made a smallist of requirements to become fairly independent of work. -Shelter, having some sort of roof above our head is needed. Some low-cost ideas to create a home are building a house from shipping containers ($2k-4k) for very large one, they stack easily, expanding over time possible and fun! You also need some isolation and things like water/electricity supply (solar pannel/rain or well), furniture and things like shower cabine, toilet and stove. This kind of home takes longer to build, is pretty cheap $15-40k depending how expensive you build it. Can be sustainable and place anywhere, in forest, top of mountain or close to lake/sea. It's also rigid, can get hot in summer if not well isolated. Look up "Container Homes"! Next alernative, Vanlife. This is a more flexible and traveling style of life. I see lots of people buy a decently sized Van, convert it so they can live in it. Disadvantages are space, fuel costs (if you travel), don't get stolen! However I like the Vanlife idea very much, as a person in his 20's I like freedom and want to explore the world. Combining this with working online or on the road somehow would be ideal. I think one can build a van for travel/living for about $10-20k (depending on the van and stuff you put in). Solar panels should provide you with energy for basic needs like led light, music, laptop/phone charging, etc. A wood stove for heat in winter might be more convenient. Another idea I haven't really looked at is living on a boat. I saw a documentary where a couple bought a catamaran and traveled the world with it. Fish on sea provided them with food, fresh water was taken with them or filtered? Some pros is that sailing doesn't cost anything, no fuel needed, the boat can take you anywhere (no customs ?). But for longer timeframe, I don't know if I would want to live on water. Next, if we go for something like stationary home, food can be grown locally. If theres some plot of land available I can imagine that you can grow all your needs with proper farming, beside that, earning some side money with selling some of your goods for additonal items. The idea is to be completely independent of a system of work/money, because I see jobs disappearing and feel that, and be able to provide all basic needs oneself. So does anybody have any experience with this? I need knowledge of all subjects, from people who know something about farming, online working/on the road jobs, fishing, costs of traveling with a boat or car/van, building alternative sustainavle (budget) homes. Anything is welcome and I encourage you to have a discussion. Many youthful people probably want to do the same, lets get the basic ideas/requirements so we all have a clear picture what we need/can expect/or what is possible!

@K VIL Yeah.. I should have changed it ? I mean after I get settled. Initial investment is neccessary ofcourse.

@Nahm Do you have any experience with sustainable living?

@Nahm That's an idea however I'm from Europe. I was thinking to move to bali with my girlfriend and live there. I want to work online or as a developer which can be done anywhere in the world and still earn good living. Costs in bali are lower than in europe, and the weather is nice and sunny

This is kind of unusual art but it's the art of trading and geometry. I will make a post in the future about this more in-depth because ratio's, fibonacci and mathematics are everywhere!

In the end sanity is about being at peace, not specifcally about if you do things normal because I think most society is actually pretty insane. I see a lot of destructive/non-grounded behaviour so being "normal" doesn't say anything. The question is, can you truely embrace who you are? Stop hating your "flaws", these are only ideas that don't help you further. In some sense I think psychosis or any other mental condtition is the constant fight against the self. Where as enlightenement also had some very frightening characteristics, like ego death, detachment of self, time, etc, but they don't fight. They love anything that enters their perception and that keeps them sane.

God to me is not a person sitting in the cloud. God is everything, we are his organs and part of him as much as he is us. Most religious books have a good attempt at trying to explain what God could be, in the end these books are there to make us live in more harmony, peace and "make us feel that someone is watching". By rejecting or not believing in stories written (by and) in the language of men that there is someone watching over us all we are not completely lost, because together we derive meaning and a better world. God to me is love, for creation is the act of keeping something alive and in the end love is our ultimate goal and what makes us human stick together. It is love that makes us wander through maya and samsara, with a smile even though the world sometimes feel like an alien or wicked place. God is the now, he is present always everywhere and on your screen right now. God doesn't have any identity but manifests as all at once. I believe that becoming enlightened or finding peace within, reflects some devine qualities that are even seen without any intellectual reasoning. To become enlightened is to find peace, to be in love with the now and to radiate this in the fullest potential because no man can let this appearance slip from his sight. Love, peace, feelings, contentment for anything that arise.
