@LiakosN @SgtPepper i have the same thing more or less but i want to take lsd, is it also recommended you think?

@wakeel55 if you would smoke weed while being "normal" go for it, dont expect it to "cure" you somehow though. what @MikeB said. exercise is extremely good, its so underestimated.

how do i look at my forehead from my neck?

hey i was in the same place recently, after some emotional releases. it passed.

this is completely mental masturbation and doesnt matter, but i guess ill give you my opinion so it wont distract you in meditation. yesterday and today is a duality, while everything is one (including "time" in this case obviously), tada.

@Gligorije do all said above and other than that, enjoy your life. you dont need to do too much beyond that, it might actually be damaging, having fun is the whole point of life, dont be too anal.

is that what you experience on 5 meo?

@Dan Arnautu thanks

did someone here study the kaballah? as i understand it it's kind of an enlightenment guide for jews. is there any stuff thats worth investigating into? like enlightenment practices or stuff like that.

@d0ornokey no then my question becomes: is that way of approaching those text has some useful concepts one could implement in order to advance spiritually?

wait wat? im too high energy

im extremely restless. I work out a lot but the energy is still there. i feel a lot of times a need to flex my muscles. I feel a lot of energy in my head and sometimes on the forehead. sometimes that energy becomes pleasant (joy like), but i feel restless and i dont want to do anything and want to do everything at once. i feel the need to eat a lot and it continues after i eat, like im never satisfied. that lack of satisfaction applies to everything.

@Lynnel @Neo looool i guess "dog" is a nickname for a friend.

make humanity woke again you gotta get over that stage too

@Sirius glad to hear that keep going

bro.. I had this nightmare a few days ago and it was the most terrifying thing ever, I woke up in the middle of the night. I still was dreamy so i heared sounds and i thought someone was coming to kill my family. The funny thing is I kinda realized it and 'surrendered' so much i was aware of my whole body shivering a couple of times, basically i guess i was aware of my emotions. I was unmoved by anything, i became super aware and just didnt care. I feel cocky right now as if i can face any fearful situation. like no matter what will happen ill be ok with it.

by saying that you're "willing to go insane" you had to first have the thought "i might go insane". answering that objection of the mind is already a mistake. whatever happens, happens. if you're willing to take any psychedelic surrender to whatever happens. you surrender by being aware of what holds you back from surrendering and not thinking "surrender surrender surrender". I think you have to be developed enough to take psychedelics. by that i mean a daily meditation practice. a daily meditation practice entails not believing your thoughts and detaching from them. if you ask questions like that you're probably not ready. but if you do decide to take psychedelics and you manage to go through you might develop yourself a lot. it's a skill to surrender.

@Sirius your highest value is health because if you achieve health more because you will be fulfilled, or more because if you dont achieve health it will be shitty? positive or negative motivation? if it's negative motivation it wont hold for long. I see a lot of negativity in your post, which probably means that you want to escape, rather then advance. motivation to escape (or negative motivation) doesnt last very long and is very weak compared to motivation to advance (or positive motivation). ask yourself honestly if you're running towards something or running away from something. if it's the latter, it probably wont work. also monk life is not necessary at all for spiritual purification and enlightenment. you can spend your whole life abstaining and not achieve shit. read "if truth be told" it's about a guy who was rich and gave up everything and got into monkhood. gives you a little perspective on what it takes to become a monk, it's not such a nice fantasy.

I watched Leo's vid on what foods to eat and not to eat. My diet was pretty clean already, I just had to drop wheat, dairy and sugar. In the morning I eat 3 eggs sometimes with avocado, later if im hungry oatmeal with salt and water with an apple, on lunch a bowl of rice and for dinner a huge salad. inbetween I eat a lot of fruits. its been about a week since the change and I have mild belly cramps, mild diarrhea and mild sickness sometimes. everything managable. I wonder if its caused by the fast change in fiber intake. what do you think? It was pretty easy for me to change my diet (though i miss cookies with milk) so I thought I would change it right away, and not over a long period of time. I did that because I thought the long period advice was to get used with the mental game, and not that much with the physical game. will this pass?

@DefinitelyNotJack no, i eat rice, oatmeal, vegetables, buckwheat edit: realized the question wasnt directed to me lol

to me, what I define here as "blissful" is a nice atmosphere, not too intensely joyous but not stale too. I dont know if this is how everyone dreams, but since i was a kid I remember that many my dreams were very blissful. its not that the dreams themselves were good or anything, its just that the overall feeling was interesting and nice. usually when i woke up from such dreams for the first few moments after waking up i kept having that blissful atmosphere but then after those few moments, it went away into the stale usual world. I remember I even have fallen in love because a random girl from my class was in such a dream, and just because of the beauty of the dream i associated her with that blissfulness. I think most if not all of my blissful life aspirations in my adult and teen life came at their source from a dream or a movie (I also experience blissful atmospheres during some movies). what I mean by that is when I think what I want to achieve in life it all comes to that blissful state. The sad thing, however, is that all of my aspirations in life came from dreams and fantasies, and not from my real life, where all of that supposedly has to happen. When I think about my life all i can feel is dullness, I havent experienced anything really in my life yet. This makes for example the value section in the life purpose course extremely hard for me, because it seems almost nothing is important to me because i havent known any of that, theyre almost all equal in my eyes. and in the values i did choose, most of my congruence ratings are between 1 and 3. (that is, how much i embody the value from 1-10) What do you think is the reason behind dreams having such an interesting and blissful atmosphere? why isnt it like that in my daily life, or at least sometimes in my daily life? it saddens me that when i ask myself what would i rather do, live my life or watch a movie, i am genuinely answering to watch a movie.

@sgn lmao my thought too

honestly we're REALLY lacking in the first option and there are a ton of people who do option 2. it will be really hard to think of something unique for option 2, so thats a thought. I think in our days there is an overabundance of information but little application. for example for your second option there are a ton of sources for nutrition, health, etc. but still people are fat and unhealthy. there's a lot of information about marketing but people dont bother. basically in our age creating information is not fruitful but delivering, distributing and actualizing information are really needed. see if that helps you somehow.

Lately I read from a TON of places that enlightenment is not possible without the help of something external, like an enlightened guru or a certain deity, or some divine power. Have you heared about that and what do you think about it?
