I would be cautious with that belief. Psychedelics can certainly bring a mind-body to experience death - yet it is by no means comfortable. They have been the most uncomfortable experiences of my life. As well, they can open doors and bring forth very uncomfortable lessons. Ime, I don't get to decide what the teacher shows me. I can make a request through an "intention", yet then one must fully surrender and what arises arises. Psychedelic teachers can sniff out the slightest hint of cockiness and will squash it away.

Indeed. There is a post-egoic attraction / reality dynamic. Not the egoic type of "I want to attract more money or a hot girlfriend". Something beyond the ego that is revealed when the ego is relaxed and dissolves. When the ego sleeps, it's time to get the Turquoise parted started. . .

@Aquarius @Zakee hinnant Thanks guys ? ♥️

That is a great question and I think it is a great area to explore. Sometimes my energy stirs things up in people and it's better if I step aside. I'm also still learning and growing.

@Zakee hinnant It seems my approach to help is causing turmoil. I hope healing enters your life. I will step aside now.

@Zakee hinnant Great. So it seems clear at this point your mind-body is not in nonstop bliss. I would recommend increasing body awareness of the emotional dynamics playing out in the body. That is not the hand exercise or self inquiry (I've watched all three videos). The video on body awareness is very different than those things. To me, it sounds like deeper issues are rising to the surface. It can be extremely difficult to deconstruct and work through. If you have access to a social worker / psychologist, it may help.

I'm not referring to the haters. I'm referring to the experience in one's own mind-body. Quite often there is lack of awareness. I would recommend gaining awareness of what the mind-body is experiencing. The video above is great guide. . .

It sounds like your mind-body is ungrounded and confused. You just started a thread telling us that you have been in nonstop bliss for weeks. Thus, the hate you are receiving is giving you bliss. Yet, here you seem to suggest the hate is bothersome to you and it is not blissful. I would recommend getting in touch with your mind-body. Leo made a nice video in this area

It depends on the type of fear. The example you gave is fear mixed with harm anxiety. That is a very different dynamic than something like fear of public speaking.

@Aquarius Yea, perhaps he needs to get in touch with body sensations and feelings. I've had experiences when bliss got too intense - yet then it becomes uncomfortable and is no longer blissful. A few nights ago, I was laughing so hard; it was wonderfully blissful. Yet then the laughter got even more intense and my abdomen started hurting. I couldn't stop laughing and I wanted to, but couldn't make it stop. Then I had trouble breathing and anxiety and panic arose. At this point, it's no longer blissful. It sounds like his mind-body is experiencing a mixture of bliss and discomfort. Yet he is saying that is not the case, that it is all good feelings.

Then, I don't understand the problem. You are saying "freaking out" and "I can't handle it" actually feels good to you. So, what is the problem?

Physical intercourse is such a small component of a romantic relationship. Physical sex for reproduction is bare-bones limbic system stuff. Humans have evolved so far beyond that and have the capacity to go much deeper. Even more primitive creatures, such as penguins, have love, intimacy and connection in their romantic relationships.

That is part of "embodiment".

Just being is great stuff. Enjoy! My mind-body particularly enjoys just being in nature.

@cetus56 Ahhh, those 45s. . .

Once you climb a ladder to a higher level, the ladder is no longer useful. Yet, the beat goes on. . .

It sounds like the bliss has stopped and you are now feeling anxiety. So, problem solved - you are not trapped in eternal bliss (you are now freaking out). Or. . . You are still in a blissful state and experience freaking as blissful. So, no problem. I don't understand the problem your mind-body is trying to solve.

I’ve found deep relaxation and body awareness to be helpful. The other night, my body was shivering during Yin Yoga. The mind body was able to relax and transform the unpleasant shivering energy and tension to a neutral energy, which later dissolved. Yet my house temperature was within a normal range. I prolly couldn’t do it if I was laying in my underwear outside in a pile of snow. Leo made a great video on relaxation and mind-body awareness a few months ago -which I found helpful in exploring this realm.

@VictorB02 I'd be careful with the concept of "Ego" and "Authentic Self". This can create a "good ego" vs. "bad ego" dynamic (in which "Authentic Self" is the aspects of ego that are pleasing). For me, a construct of higher and lower conscious states resonates more. Through my day, the conscious level of my mind-body can fluctuate from being immersed in the personal story (a contracted state) to a trans-personal collective consciousness (a more expansive state). Human mind-bodies are conditioned to reside in the personal story. Once a mind glimpses a more expansive state, it may appear that there are only two states that of mind: personal and trans-personal. Yet upon further inspection, one will find there are many flavors of trans-personal consciousness. In SD, it is tier2 flexible flow along the spiritual line of development.

@alankrillin That would be one way for a person to interpret it. Notice the attachment and identification the person has to the interpretation. *Pop* out of the person and observe the dynamics playing out in the person.

Curiosity and exploration is so exciting ??

@alankrillin The passive aggressive pokes stimulated the response. If an invitation is to be declined, just decline it.

That's a good question. For most of my life, I had little money and spent a lot of time working through school and my career. I ended up getting a job with lots of time off and job security. This allowed a lot of time to spend in spirituality and I think allowed for more progress. With that said, I think openness, sincerity, willingness and curiosity and essential keys. A wealthy person with lots of free time will not make much progress if they are closed-minded and defensive.

@alankrillin A self commonly desires to argue and defend a contracted narrative it is attached to and identified with. When this arises, there is an opportunity to observe the dynamic and expand one's consciousness. Yet, a self often grasps and tries to stay within it's contracted state. A self has dozens of tactics. If a mind can relax and observe without attachment, these dynamics are often revealed and seen clearly.

That is an amazing exploration. I'd relax the second part about an ultimate goal.
