It seems an individual can evolve in consciousness much higher than the evolution of the average societal consciousness. For example, an individual can evolve into solid Turquoise, yet it may be 100+ years for society to evolve that high. Sometimes it’s like I can almost touch something “paranormal” and I get the sense that in 100+ years it will be mainstream. There is both a sense of excitement and sadness about that.

For me, shifting from anxiety to curiosity is one the most important skills in this area.

@Soulbass Was this an acute injury or a chronic injury?

Yoga was the best thing for my back.

@fryingLotus I usually don’t get excited until I’m immersed in the trip. I have a hard time getting excited by planning or imagining a trip. I need to actually be in the trip.

The idea of “permanent” requires the construct of a timeline. Permanence is the idea of an unchanging nature through time - and it is extremely alluring to a mind. Assumptions of past and future go deeply into the subconscious and can be extremely subtle. Many ideas are indirectly linked to underlying assumptions of past and future. Yet they are merely thought impulses occurring Now. They are bird chirps. The only thing unchanging is Now. The only thing permanent is Now. Yet to even say “Now” allows the underlying assumption of a past and future. Strictly speaking, there is no Now. Simply IS. Transcending the timeline is a deep realization.

@Inliytened1 You seem to be making a distinction between form and formless. Nothing wrong with distinctions. Yet that distinction can be deconstructed and reconstructed. This all assumes the construct of a timeline.

I’ve had etizolam on hand, yet have never taken it during a trip. Yet just having it on me, knowing I could sedate the trip, helped reduce anxiety and increase confidence. Part of the process is experiencing, deconstructing and working through the underlying source of the fear and anxiety. Yet ime pushing anxiety too far into panic zones is counter-productive.

@GroovyGuru Start with small doses and work your way up, if you desire. On a mini dose of LSD, meditate, contemplate and spend some time in nature. Get a feel for it. Treat it like medicine. Perhaps your mind-body will resonate with low doses and thats it. Perhaps you will feel a calling to increase the dosage. Perhaps psyches won’t resonate with your mind-body. Who knows? Only one way to find out. I would start low and let the direct experience guide you. Trust your intuition. Psyches can help with getting in touch with intuition. Beyond all the thought stories and analysis. It’s beautiful.

@cetus56 “Shift Happens” ?

Nice. I was unable to fully cross over without some help. Yet after the first several times, it comes much easier now.

She isn’t obligated to respond to you, that is your own expectation of her. I would take some time off with no contact and look inward into myself. It sounds like you are placing too much focus on her. After a week or so of introspection, I may write her briefly describing my feelings - perhaps something like “I’d like to be in contact with you and other family members and have been feeling rejected and unloved” (if that is what you discover internally). I would also write a supportive message and leave the door open - something like “I realize you desire some distance from me and I respect that and hope you are doing well. Perhaps sometime in the future we can get back in touch. The door is open if you would like to contact me. If not, I wish you well. With love, xyz”. If she doesn’t want to reestablish contact, I would not try again for at least 30 days. Then, depending on how I felt about it after 30 days of no contact, I may reach out again in a genuine way. I don’t have all the details on the situation. Yet based on what you wrote, that’s how I would handle it. To me, it sounds like there are some control issues going on to work through.

@Scholar Yes ??

@ChoseyFrozey Imagine if you knew that the next time you fall asleep you will never wake back up. . . It would be extremely difficult to fall asleep. I think I could partially fall asleep, yet there would be background resistance holding on. Personally, I don’t think I could go the whole way into complete sleep without a substance to overpower the will to survive.

@fryingLotus I took a similar voyage through South America for three months. It was highly transformative. I wish you the best along your travels. What unfolds is amazing.

@Preety_India I did an Aya retreat in Peru with three ceremonies. It was very transformative. For those considering an Aya retreat, I would recommend researching various options. Ime, the environment and community had a big impact on the experience. Find one that resonates with you. There are some centers with high quality ceremonies, shamans, community - and other ceremonies that are shabby.

@Shakazulu I would recommend doing research to find a community that resonates with you. The shamans and community are as important as the Aya itself. There are some highly conscious Aya ceremonies and others that are shabby or shady. The environment is interrelated with the Aya. As well, I would recommend doing at least three ceremonies, if possible. Each ceremony and trip can be very different and reveal different insights. You don’t know which will have the really deep life transforming insights. For me, it was the second ceremony of three.

I’ve found eye gazing can go deep. Like tears flowing and you don’t know why. It’s beyond words, very intimate and beautiful. I’ve also found tantric-like meditation/yoga effective. Like to sit in postures that may or may not involve physical or eye contact. Sexual energy may arise, and then you can work with it. It transforms into another sort of mixture of energy - including yet not limited to sexual energy. It becomes transcendent. The trick for me is not to fall into conditioned mind-body patterns and just follow the programmed script if having sex when the energy arises. It takes discipline. I’ve found conversations can also be helpful to connect at deeper levels, yet they can be too heavy on thought stories. I find verbal conversations useful in certain contexts, yet limited. Nonverbal communication and connection is also important, yet ime it’s rare to find someone open to exploring these realms.

There is a realm of masculine and feminine dynamics you are not in tune with and do not seem open to. Ime, social conditioning plays a big role. Deconstructing that as an unattached observer is key, ime. To a mind who has not done that, it would certainly appear that the other is kidding themself - since that mind is still perceiving through a filter. In doing so, you miss out on another realm of perception and experience. There is nothing wrong with that, it’s just limited and contracted. A mind-body would need to be curious, open and desire to explore. It is as if one is saying Lithuania is all there is. I’m trying to point to you that Lithuania is within something larger - Europe. If one holds on to beliefs that one cannot explore outside of Lithuania unless they are some type of sage, that will keep them contracted within Lithuania. One will not be able to explore beyond. And one doesn’t need to be a sage to explore beyond limiting, conditioned beliefs. That itself is another limiting belief. . . . One simply needs to observe and deconstruct those beliefs. It’s like clearing old things out of a closet - it allows space and openness for new things to be revealed and experienced. That is one of the greatest joys in life. The first stage is clearing out and creating space. Then, exploring. Then discovering (mainly through direct experience). Then integrating, then embodiment.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing it with us ?

Enlightenment takes it deeper. . .

Schrodinger. I learned that in school.

You are missing out on something really special. . .
