In my case, mushrooms work wonders for energy healing and getting rid of energy blockages, especially if done outside on a sunny day. You should check out kriya yoga as well, within a few months of practice you can learn how to module energy inside your own system.

You can suffer only if you have a point of view to defend. You suffer because you believe in the existence of a separate "I" that is going to die. From the highest stand point, suffering it's impossible. The experience of suffering is the ego resisting the Present. No ego, no suffering, just Consciousness. Transcend the ego, and suffering becomes ecstasy. In the present moment you are always safe, even if you are experiencing burning at the stake.

These are some of my favourite quotes from the book "Dissolving the Ego, Realizing the Self" by David Hawkins. I know this topic should be in the "high consciousness resources" section, but I feel in this section it might get more exposure and help more people (otherwise, admins feel free to move it). The book is a collection of the best teachings of David Hawkins, by contemplating some of the quotes it's possible to get mini enlightenment experiences. The ego secretly "loves" and clings to the position of victimhood and extracts a distorted pleasure and grim justification from pain and suffering. Out of the fear of becoming nothing, consciousness denies its only reality that it is everything – the infinite, everlasting Allness out of which existence itself arises. Everything fulfils its purpose by merely being what it is. Everything is the fulfilment of its own essence and potentiality. The only "requirement" for anything that exists is to just be. Life is the radiance of God made manifest, as the universe expressed through evolution. We are both the product and the witness of Creation as a continuous, eternal process. Because the essence of God is the catalyst of Creation, all that is created contains that same quality. Therefore, the ultimate context of God is an infinite progression of infinite potentialities and possibilities, each of which then creates a further progression of infinite progressions. The realization and knowingness of God is radically and purely subjective. There is not even the hypothetical possibility that reason could arrive at Truth. Truth is knowable only by virtue of the identity of being it. It is through forgiveness that one is forgiven. On the level of nonduality, there is observing but no observer, as subject and object are one. You-and-I becomes the One Self experiencing all as divine. In the advanced spiritual Reality, duality dissolves because the "this" is the "that". The seeker and the Sought become One with the transcendence of the limitation of duality. That which I am is Allness. To realize that one already is and always has been All That Is leaves nothing to be added. There is no separation in the Allness of Creation, so it is impossible for the created to be separate from the Creator. Enlightenment is the consequence of the surrender of all dualistic illusions to Truth. All suffering ends with dissolution of the ego's positionalities. The infinite, Ultimate Potentiality is the Actuality of Existence. "All That Is" is therefore innately Divine, or it could not exist at all. The absolute expression of Divinity is Subjectivity. If I exist, then God Is. Consciousness does not recognize separation, which is a limitation of perception. The enlightened state is a "Oneness" in which there is no division into parts. Such division is only apparent from a localized perception; it is only an accident of a point of view. To understand the nature of God, it is necessary only to know the nature of love itself. To truly know love is to know and understand God, and to know God is to understand love.

I have been there before. My first serious psychedelic experience was with 250ug of LSD, which, for me, was too much, too early. I did see the Truth, but I wasn't ready at all. I ended up descending into madness, when I realized that I was the only being in existence, a truth that my ego distorted and couldn't comprehend at the time. I felt like I created the whole universe in order not to feel alone, not to go insane. The universe was a place where I could hide from the truth of my loneliness. Everything that I regarded as real was only my imagination, I went crazy for eternity. When you cannot comprehend anymore what's "real" and what's "imagination", that's when things get hairy. My suggestion is to take at least 6 months to digest what you have experienced, while practicing meditation and/or kriya yoga, only then go back with a smaller dose, my advice is to try mushrooms. For me LSD is too hard on my system, I have found that mushrooms are way better to work with energetically. After my experience with LSD, I have been working only with small doses of mushrooms which, for me, are more than enough to go deep. Your brain might be extremely sensible to psychedelics, in which case working with high doses could present you truths that you are not ready to comprehend.

The week before my trip I read "LSD and the mind of the universe", in which Cristopher Bache, the author, describes his work with LSD. Bache says that, before he had the chance of becoming one with God, he had to go through various stages of purification. While I was reading his reports, I thought that I was somehow "better" than him, since in my previous trips I had the chance of experiencing dharmakaya, God, the white light, and becoming one with the ultimate reality, without having to go through the horrors that he describes in his book. As you will soon read, I paid a steep price for my naivete. I started the session relaxing and meditating, I was thrilled for the upcoming trip, but nervous at the same time. The first hour was extremely difficult, I felt cold and restless, even thought the temperature in my room was normal, I had the feeling that entities were working to change my state of consciousness to get me ready for what I was about to experience. The second hour I lost the perception of time and I couldn't make senso of who I was anymore. I tried to work on the intentions that I had set and the questions that I wanted to answer, but the shrooms had other plans for me. The trip took an unexpected turn when I entered into unitary consciousness: I wasn't ready for how infinite it was this time. I have experienced infinity many times in the past before, but it seems that every time I get into it, it gets even more infinite. I was being born and dying ad infinitum, under infinite forms. I have lived through pestilences, famines, rapes and unjustified hate. I have seen shuttered bodies being eaten alive, which were my own bodies. All of this was happening to me, by me, since I am the medium through which everything happens. I saw the face of death and I realized it was my own face. For a short period of time I was able to love hell and it transformed into paradise and ecstasy, but I couldn't hold it for long, doing so requires infinite consciousness. God/Infinity is happening all at once, in the present moment, which means millions of Jews are dying right now in the concentration camps, the atomic bombs are being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Jesus is being crucified, as you are reading this words. The inability of accepting all of my self was prolonging my horrific visions, the more I resisted my self, the worst it got. I am not sure why, but infinity appeared to me through the form of Ishvara. Wherever I saw, I saw its infinite form. I had never heard the name Ishvara before my trip, but when I saw it, its name came instantaneously to my mind. For the short period of time that I managed to accept infinity, I had a peek into the mind of God which was pure infinite intelligence and interconnection, the visions were more vivid than anything I have ever experienced before in my own life. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the present moment is nothing other than the manifestation of the mind of God, God lives through my own body. At one point, I understood that God creates through pure imagination, so I wanted to create in the same way that God creates. I was so conscious that I could have projected a rose out of thin air, but I choose not to do it. I am sure, without a single doubt, that in that state of consciousness I could have done it, but, if I would have done it, I would have gone crazy: after the trip I couldn't have been able any more to distinguish between "reality" and "imagination". It felt like the same temptation that Jesus went through in the desert. The main takeaway from this trip is to never stop being humble, the moment you stop being humble is the moment you get fucked hard. The fears and the problems that I face in my day to day life are nothing compared to what I went through in just 4 hours. If I can implement only one percent of the level of acceptance that I had to apply to survive this trip, I won't have a single "problem" or "fear" anymore in my life. Overall, I can't wait to get back into infinity, to love it all next time, even though I will need some time to process everything that I have seen.

Most likely yes, but, at the same time, it was something I had to go through to go even deeper into infinity. I am not aware that I am experiencing infinite deaths right now because I am not in the same state of consciousness that I was while tripping, what has changed is that I know for sure that infinity happens all at the same time, since I have seen it. Yes, I have countless more questions left unanswered about the nature of reality.

It was 1.3 grams of dehydrated Mazatapec mushroom. I know it sounds strange, but my brain is hypersensitive to any kind of psychedelic.

This song is all about mystic union, it reminds me of Rumi's poems.

In your opinion, where do you draw the line between conscious criticizing and shadow projection? One has to criticize by understanding that everything is perfect as it is?

I would argue it has worked. He got rid of his addictions, lost his self-destructive behaviour and started to live on purpose again.

What follows is a list of the most important insights that I have gathered from my last mushroom trip. 1. Healing means healing the idea of separation. The idea of separation is what gives birth to every fear that a human being can possibly experience. 2. Physical and mental problems are caused by fear, which creates an energy block, tenses up the body/mind and gives birth to the particular illness. 2. To heal yourself both physically and mentally you need to learn to love the thing that you hate, become one with it. Through the power of love anything can be done. That's how a mystic is able to perform a miracle. It's just a matter of how much you are able to love. 3. Learn to make love with your problems (become one with them) and they will cease to be problems. While tripping, when you make love with the "negative" the "negative" will dissolve into oneness and you will experience a cosmic orgasm. In every day life, if you love your struggles they will cease to be perceived as struggles, or disappear altogether. That's the whole idea of manifestation and the law of attraction. 4. The only thing that dies at the moment of "death" is the idea of separation, the idea of "you". 5. "You" don't really want to become enlightened, because that would mean "you" as a separate entity will cease to exist. 6. To experience love, stop telling yourself that love is not present. Give up all your imagined stories that create a boundary between you and love/reality. 7. All the struggles that you experience in life are caused by your inability to love. 8. All fears are imaginary. You construct fear so that you will be able to keep existing as the ego. There is fundamentally nothing to be scared of. When you trip, the hardest fear to give up is the fear of death. If you don't give it up, you are going to be in for a rough ride. 9. In my experience, mushrooms are amazing to do energy work. When I was tripping I only had to focus on a particular energy block that I was feeling in my body, love it, breath into it, and feel the energy start to flow again. 10. I became aware of how tensed up and fearful I am in every day life. Even in the way that I breath, walk or stand up there is fear. Fear manifest itself in your body/mind in different ways. After the trip, you have to consciously work on the ways that fear manifest itself in you, to change permanently. Psychedelics are just incredible. This trip felt like 10 years of spiritual/personal growth condensed in 4 hours. I hope this is food for thought.

I can't even fathom what 10 grams would do to me, no wonder your trip was that long. I always set clear intentions before I trip, in this one my intentions were to understand what healing is. I think that if you set the intention to do energy work, that's what your going to get from the trip. I did LSD three times but is too taxing to my body, I prefer mushrooms.

I did one gram of dehydrated mushroom. I am really sensitive to psychedelics, one gram for me is enough to enter a non-dual state. Every one has a different brain chemistry. Yes, for me a mushroom trip lasts about 4 hours. The breakthrough usually happens at the third hour mark. The first two hours are preparatory for the break through and it usually consists of me facing my own fears, then "I" enter the "kingdom of God". In the last hour, when it starts to wear off, I am able to make sense of the experience and collect insights. Of course, for the rest of the day I am in an "afterglow" state.

With all that is going on in the world right now, always more people are starting to believe in conspiracy theories. Just have a look at the comments that people are leaving on the Facebook page of Bill Gates, scary and hilarious at the same time. I have been trying to understand the psychological motivation that leads people to believe in some far fetched story. I think the main reason is ego. All these theories create more separation between self and other, and therefore give a false sense of importance and identity. I think it would be a great topic for a video @Leo Gura Please don't share any conspiracy theory on this post, or it might get locked. I wanted to create this post to start a conversation to try to understand why people believe in conspiracy theories.

@Leo Gura What are your speculations about what happens after that? I guess that by ONENESS you mean being one with the infinite "body" of God, becoming one with the infinite ocean of consciousness, instead of dreaming of being one drop inside the ocean. By the way, while you were describing telepathy, downloading knowledge and Mahasamadhi, it came to my mind the movie "Lucy".

This guy analyses, in detail, Bob Lazar's body language on the Joe Rogan interview he did a while back, for over an hour. I found it well done and interesting. After watching it, I am sure he's telling the truth.

One of the best strange loop videos I have found so far, hope you guys enjoy. This video sums up one of my LSD trips, that lasted 8 hours, in less than 3 minutes.

He's a smart guy. I just don't understand how he can't smell his own shit. In my opinion, he's judging "slut" girls because he's been married with the same woman since he was very young. He has never experienced sexual promiscuity, and deep down that's what he wants. It's the same story of the experiment that has been done with homophobic people getting aroused watching gay porn. Classic example of projection.

How do you know that this exact moment that you are experiencing right now is not what it feels to be dead? There are a lot of assumptions implied in your question.

In this strange time, I would like to take a break from the news and social media and focus on the good aspects of life. I am looking for books, documentaries, videos, or any other resource, to help me realize how good, marvelous and special life is. Thank you.

@GrowthPilgrim I get your point, thanks for the tip. I already did an in depth google search and it didn't help.

Being and not-being is obviously a duality. The most important epiphany that I had on my first insane LSD trip is that "I am" and therefore cannot not be. After this realization I became every "pixel" on my visual field, I became the whole of the present moment. I realized that life and death are just concepts and that everyday life is what it feels like to be "dead". That I, as Reality, exist is a fact, in other words, that Truth/God exists is a fact, but it sounds logically wrong because it is a duality. Does God consciousness transcends all dualities, even being and not-being? This question reminds me of the zen story in which monks were asked to express the Truth and the monk that won the contest just remained silent. I would appreciate your take on this @Leo Gura

Your question implies that there is an opposite to life, but life has no opposite. The bedrock is beingness, beingness can't do anything else but be. God cannot become not God, there is only life. That which is cannot become nonisness. Everything that you perceive is beingness, you are beingness and since beingness is all that there is, you are actually inside yourself. You are always perceiving just another part of beingness, of you. When you will realize it, you will understand that God/Beingness was right in front of you the whole time you were searching for it. The reason it's so hard to realize it is that you are what you are searching for, the ultimate strange loop. Perceiver, perception and the process of perception are ONE.

Stan Grof, in his book "When the impossible happens", which is a collection of his trip reports and healing sessions with patients under the effect of psychedelics, says that under the effect of ketamine he had the experience of his consciousness becoming a towel in his toilet, which means there must be an experience of being a towel or any other "inanimate" object because consciousness is everything. I suggest to read that book to anyone that is still stuck in the materialistic paradigm, it would be a great add to your book list @Leo Gura @Leo Gura Would you agree with the statement: If everything is consciousness, everything must be conscious.
