The purest form of science is very much needed. I don't think science as a principle or philosophy is bad at all... 🤔💭 The actual scientific method is essentially: how do we verify and discover reproducible steps toward a certain goal? How do we verify truth? If the goal were to deliver experiences of God or enlightenment in a reproducible way to people, you would still need some sort of discipline that attempts to do that systematically for most. If, let's say, one day the goal of science became enlightenment or God, scientists would still need to create some form of methodology, synthetic psychedelics, or other interventions. For all of that, you would need very efficient, precise, granular studies of genes and molecular structures, as well as strong social sciences and psychological sciences, to administer and guide that type of transformation. I don't think science as a method is horrible at all. Its current aims are often tied to materialism, pragmatism, business, and operating within capitalism. But if the aim were God, enlightenment, or spiritual realization, then the scientific method could integrate mysticism and spirituality. It would become something more aligned with Stage Orange's rigor, combined with Stage Yellow/Teal's integrative and spiritual perspective.

Well this is CoPilot's interpretation. Two Hubs, Five Paths: A Map of Laegna’s Mind–Body Work Human development often unfolds through two complementary gateways: the symbolic Mind and the experiential Body. Each reveals different aspects of clarity, intuition, structure, and transformation. Below are the two hubs and the five paths they open. Mind Hub — Symbolic & Cosmic Orientation The Mind axis offers tools for understanding value, cycles, and the architecture of meaning. • SpiMind — Mind Gateway • Laechemical Gold A symbolic exploration of inner value, alchemical clarity, and the structure of meaning. • Alchemotesimal A rotating star‑calendar revealing infinitesimal cycles and cosmic timing. Body Hub — Experiential & Practical Integration The Body axis grounds the work through narrative, intuition, and unified theory. • SpiBody — Body Gateway • Laegna SpiBody — Core Directory & External Anchor The central index of the SpiBody system, linking the experiential branches. • SpiBody Unified Theory — Central SpiBody Site A structural model connecting body, narrative, and phenomenology into one coherent framework. • SpiZenTao — SpiBody 2 · Trivia & Intuitive Insights Light, intuitive, and playful insights that complement the deeper theoretical work. Two Hubs, Five Paths, One System The Mind hub orients you to symbolic and cosmic layers. The Body hub grounds you in lived experience and practical transformation. Together, the five paths form a complete developmental map: clarity, cycles, structure, narrative, and intuition—each reinforcing the others in a single integrated system.

“PORTALS INTO THE UNMANIFESTED” (Tolle 1999, 107) &&& It is probably best if you read this document (`unmanifested.md`, https://pastebin.com/NP3rAur9) using a text editor like Windows Notepad or GNOME Text Editor and not a word processor like Microsoft Word. “Self (God) is Infinite, Limitless; One, Indivisible; Perfect; Changeless, Immutable; Timeless, Without Beginning or End; Whole, The All; Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent.” (Lester 1962, 65) See `Umbrella terms.md` (https://pastebin.com/NP3rAur9) for a list of synonyms of God (= the Unmanifested). “God and good are sometimes used synonymously. Because everyone wants good, they make God good. God is above good and bad. However, good leads us to God.” (Lester 1993, 345) In the same way, God and infinite, limitless, etc. are sometimes used ... “The Isness _is_ without extension.” (Weber 1996, 148) God just _is_, as opposed to God is infinite. “The moment you make it into something, you have missed it.” (Tolle 1999, 114) ““I” doesn’t eat. It’s “is-ing.”” (Katie 1998, 3) “Love (= the Unmanifested) is what you are already.” (Katie and Katz 2005, chap. 12, 245) “Love isn’t a portal; it’s what comes _through_ the portal into this world.” (Tolle 1999, 112) (“~~The apparent mind that questions itself begins to understand where it comes from, which is pure~~ love, for lack of a better word.” (Katie and Mitchell 2017, chap. 6, 67)) “The little self, the ego, is nothing but the innate infinite Self assuming that It is limited. There are no two selves, one higher, the other lower, no two “I’s.” There is only one Self. It is perfect and always will be perfect, even though you make the false assumption that It is imperfect and limited. You are now, always were, and always will be your Self.” (Levenson 1993, 348) &&& - “__GOING DEEPLY INTO THE BODY__” “the inner body” (Tolle 1999, 107) &&& ___(Dreamless (adj.)) sleep (n.)___ - “__DREAMLESS SLEEP__” (Tolle 1999, 110) Dreamless (adj.). “You take a journey into the Unmanifested every night when you enter the phase of deep dreamless sleep. You merge with the Source.” “Can you imagine what it would be like to go into dreamless sleep with full consciousness? It is impossible to imagine it, because that state has no content.” “The Unmanifested does not liberate you until you enter it consciously.” “In the Isness we merge with God.” (Weber 1996, 149) “This again is death. It is a conscious death.” (Weber 1996, 149) “But don’t attempt to stay conscious in dreamless sleep. It is highly unlikely that you will succeed.” (Tolle 1999, 110) &&& ___(Timeless (adj.)) now (n.)___ - “timeless Now” (n.) (Tolle 1999, 111) Timeless (adj.). “Self (God (= the Unmanifested)) is ... Timeless” (Lester 1962, 65) “When you dissolve psychological time through intense present-moment awareness, you become conscious of the Unmanifested both directly and indirectly.” (Tolle 1999, 111) “When did the universe begin? Right now (if at all). A clear mind sees that any past is just a thought.” (Katie and Mitchell 2007, chap. 52, 151) “..., because the past is just a thought in the present. (So is the present.)” (Katie and Mitchell 2017, chap. 10, 90) &&& ___(? (adj.)) silence (n.)___ See “__SILENCE__” (Tolle 1999, 112–113) for instructions. “Silence enables the sound to be.” Truth enables the falseness (= “The quality of being false.”) to be. I am true (adj.), truth (n.), the absence of falseness. Truth is transparent, silent, timeless, etc. I am transparent (adj.), transparency (n.), the absence of ?. Transparency (n.) is silent, timeless, etc. (..., omnipotent, omnipresent, alone, unmanifested, ignorant, desireless, good, peaceful, meaningless, familiar, ...) So you are these nouns and these adjectives right now. And you can use the self-growth yardsticks (Lester 1962, 63–64) to gauge to what degree you feel certain you have any of these godlike qualities. ..., “Why Truth Is The Highest Value”, 8 Sept 2025, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvNGha_g2U4. &&& ___(Empty (adj.), transparent (adj.)) space (n.)___ “__SPACE__” (Tolle 1999, 113–115) “Just as no sound can exist without silence, nothing can exist without no-thing, without the empty space that enables it to be. Every physical object or body has come out of nothing, is surrounded by nothing, and will eventually return to nothing.” “The Unmanifested is not only present in this world as silence; it also pervades the entire physical universe as space — from within and without. This is just as easy to miss as silence. Everybody pays attention to the things in space, but who pays attention to space itself?” “The moment you make it into something, you have missed it. Nothing — space — is the appearance of the Unmanifested as an externalized phenomenon in a sense-perceived world. That’s about as much as one can say about it, and even that is a kind of paradox.” “Space has no “existence.” “Although in itself it has no existence, it enables everything else to exist. Silence has no existence either, nor does the Unmanifested.” “So what happens if ...” &&& ___The darkness (n.)___ “What is the “darkness within darkness”? It’s the mind that doesn’t know a thing. This don’t-know mind is the center of the universe—it _is_ the universe—there’s nothing outside it. The reason that darkness is the gateway to all understanding is that once the darkness is ___understood___ [emphasis added][“The Unmanifested does not liberate you until you enter it consciously. That’s why Jesus did not say: the truth will make you free, but rather: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” This is not a conceptual truth. It is the truth of eternal life beyond form, which is known directly or not at all.” (Tolle 1999, 110)], you’re clear that nothing is separate from you. No name, no thought, can possibly be true in an ultimate sense. It’s all provisional; it’s all changing. The dark, the nameless, the unthinkable—that is what you can absolutely trust. It doesn’t change, and it’s benevolent. When you realize this, you just have to laugh. There’s nothing serious about life or death.” (Katie and Mitchell 2007, chap. 1, 6) “The darkness, the void, the space that the mind is terrified to enter, is the beginning of all life. It’s the womb of being. Fall in love with it, and when you do, it will immediately be taken from you, as you witness the birth of light.” (Katie and Mitchell 2007, chap. 5, 14) “At some point, I found myself in a place I couldn’t return from. It was so far away that the distance is unimaginable. There was total darkness, with no one and nothing there. It felt as if I were alienated from all beings, forever. I didn’t know how I got there or how to get back. There was no way to die, because being has no opposite there. In that place there’s no death and you live alone forever. There’s no light, no up or down, no possibility of movement, no anything. There’s nothing, forever, with no way out. I felt such terror. And then the questions arose to meet the thought: _Can I really know that this is true? How do I react when I believe that there is something better than this? Who would I be without my story of forever?_ And because of this inquiry, the darkness became friendly. I was totally present and comfortable in it. When that reality became as comfortable as this reality, I found myself again as “woman sitting on chair in house on Fredricks Street in paradise.” I was at home in that darkness, forever, just as much at home as I am here.” (Katie and Mitchell 2017, chap. 23, 211) %%% ___(Unconditional (adj.)) love (n.)___ Unconditional (adj.)(, unconditioned (adj.)), selfless (adj.), loving (adj.). - “loving” (Katie and Mitchell 2017, chap. 25, 235) - “selfless” (…, “Outrageous Experiments In Consciousness - 30 Awakenings In 30 Days”, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnn0IU0-atg, 1 hr., 1 min., 55 sec.) - “unconditional” (Katie and Mitchell 2007, chap. 7, 18) “You are NOT God as long as you oppose what is.” (Katie 1998, 150) “Surrender — the letting go of mental-emotional resistance to what _is_ — also becomes a portal into the Unmanifested.” “In the state of surrender, your form identity softens and becomes somewhat “transparent,” as it were, so the Unmanifested can shine through you.” (Tolle 1999, 112) “When they criticize you and you notice that you love them with all you heart, your work is done.” (https://web.archive.org/web/20250526152359/https://thework.com/2015/09/when-they-criticize-2/) “If you were able to love as much as God what would happen is that this duality would completely merge and you would literally become God so the only thing separating you from God is simply your capacity to love which is just a function of how selfless you are” (…, “Outrageous Experiments In Consciousness - 30 Awakenings In 30 Days”, 19 April 2020, 1 hr., 41 min., 10 sec., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnn0IU0-atg) “The top state is total selflessness.

In fact, it is not _close_ to us; it _is_ what we essentially are. It is overlooked precisely because it is so intimate and familiar, not because it is remote, unknown or inaccessible.” (Spira 2022, 22) “It is simply the familiar sense of self that always accompanies us, that _is_ us, but is now relieved of its previous agitation and sense of lack.” (Spira 2022, 31) “The familiar experience of our self to which we refer when we say ‘I am’ becomes the belief and feeling ‘I am this’ or ‘I am that’.

Any other happiness is only a bit of the Self.” Levenson 1993, 347) “__Friend:__ … , but as soon as it’s “I want that corn chip,” it’s time to investigate? __Katie:__ Yes. _But not with the motive of not eating the corn chip._ You investigate for the love of truth because that’s what you want. A corn chip is a metaphor for that that you really want.” (Katie 1998, 3) “If you want more joy, don’t enjoy the thing - enjoy the joy. Be joy! Happiness is our natural inherent state. We are the All. We artificially create a lack and then a desire to relieve that lack, which, when that lack is undone, seems to make us feel better. It’s like sticking a pin into your skin until it hurts and then when you take the pin out, you say, “Gee, that feels good.” This is exactly what enjoying things and people is. We hurt ourselves by creating a lack and then remove the lack and the pain, and say, “Gee, that feels good. That makes me happy.” Every time you feel happiness, you feel only your real Self, more or less. The happier you are, the more you feel your real Self. But you wrongly attribute it to things and people outside of yourself. This is very important so let me restate the mechanism. When you create the lack, you start up thoughts: I need this person or this thing to make me happy. This causes a bit of pain, which you experience as a need, a lack. When you are relieved of that thought of lack, you return back to being your Self, and this is what you call happiness. So that what you have been calling happiness is really only a doing away with a correlation of happiness which is your inherent natural state, restoring it and then wrongly attributing it to external people and things so that we become attached to these external people and things.” (Levenson 1993, 221) “However, when we realize the order of creation—__think, feel, act, have__—then we know how to undo the chaos.” (Katie 1996, 8) Think (that you don't have), feel (bad), act (to get the thing that you don't have), have, (don't feel) bad. __Think__ (that you don't have), __feel__ (bad; in the sense of, experience a negative, stressful feeling), __act__ (to get the thing that you don't have), __have__, (don't) __feel__ (bad). &&& ___Ignorant (adj.)___ Ignorant (adj.; “often disapproving”), unknowing (adj.). “Not knowing; not having knowledge, ignorant, (of).

And that cannot _know_ itself; it _is_ itself.” (Tolle 2003, 55–56) “When we aren’t attached to our thinking, when all the why’s, when’s, and where’s let go of us, then what really is becomes visible.” (Katie and Mitchell 2007, _Question Your Thinking, Change the World: Quotations from Byron Katie_, 203) “Your ego [“The ego is a thought system ….” (Weber 1996, 150)] has to terrify you all the time or you would go home to God in the body as I have done. This is what I’m here to live. When we are out of thinking, when we let go of having to know all the whys, whens, wheres then everything that Is becomes visible. The consciousness of the Isness, the same as death, comes through. The Isness _is_ without extension. There is no perception, form, thought. This is sometimes scary for humans because they don’t expand their consciousness enough to grasp this, so they stay terrified. The perfection is inconceivable, especially that it could come from being still and quiet and free of useless beliefs; free of beliefs that, of themselves, are useless.” (Weber 1996, 148) “In the Isness we merge with God.” “This again is death. It is a conscious death.” (Weber 1996, 149) “To psychologically control your behavior while you were learning and exploring this fascinating verbal ability, as soon as you could understand what your parents told you, you were trained to feel anxious, ignorant, and guilty. These feelings are simply conditioned or learned variations of our basic survival emotion of fear. Once we have learned to feel anxious, ignorant, or guilty, we will do a lot of things to avoid feeling these ways.” (Smith 1975, 15) “For example, if you are playing with your dog in the living room and Mom wants to take a nap on the couch, she teaches you to respond to manipulative emotional control by saying: “Why are you always playing with Rover.” You then must come up with an answer as to why you are always playing in the living room with Rover. Not knowing any reason why except the fact that you like to and it is fun, you feel ignorant, because if Mom asks for a reason, there must be one. She wouldn’t ask for something that didn't exist, would she? If you honestly but sheepishly reply: “I don’t know,” Mom counters with: “Why don’t you go play in your sister’s room with her?” Lacking a “good” reason why you prefer to play with the dog than with your sister, you are again induced to feel ignorant for not knowing why. Searching awkwardly for a reason, your mumbled reply is cut off by Mom “It seems like you never want to play with your sister. She wants to play with you.” Feeling guilty as hell by now, you remain silent as Mom delivers the coup de grace: “If you never want to play with your sister, she won’t like you and want to play with you.” Now feeling not only ignorant and guilty but also anxious about what your sister might think of your attitude, you depart with Rover on your heels to take up your rightful station in life beside Sis and out of Mom’s hearing.” (Smith 1975, 17–18) “__ASSERTIVE RIGHT VI You have the right to say, “I don’t know.”__” (Smith 1975, 57–59) “__ASSERTIVE RIGHT II You have the right to offer no reasons or excuses to justify your behavior.__” (Smith 1975, 47–49) “__ASSERTIVE RIGHT VIII You have the right to be illogical in making decisions.__” (Smith 1975, 62–65) “__ASSERTIVE RIGHT IX You have the right to say, “I don't understand.”__” (Smith 1975, 65–67) “___Moving Beyond Justification___” (Katie and Jensen 2000, 166) “Live your truth without explanation or qualification.

Sometimes they try again later, sometimes not.~~ The three levels are: revealing the facts; honestly expressing current feelings and thoughts; and, finally, exposing the fiction you have devised to represent yourself and your history.” (Blanton 1996, 48–49) “The first level of telling the truth is to reveal the facts. It is a matter of clearing up lies from the past and the false presentation of self being maintained through withholding.” (Blanton 1996, 49) “The first level of this process is revealing deceptions and withholds” (Blanton 1996, 50) “She had [“a whole stack of” (Blanton 2005, 60)] compiled secrets and unfinished business with her father, her first husband, and her current husband.” (Blanton 1996, 51) “The second level of telling the truth is to begin to speak forth the emotional truth and the truth of one's judgments to reveal one's constantly active, secret mind.

As other thoughts drop away the mind gets quiet and concentrated. When the mind is concentrated, you will experience your Self and It will answer any and every question. It will answer the questions that we need to have answered to show us the way out of the bondages. Now, in meditation, the moment you sit down to quiet the mind, it seems to get noisier, which is natural. The thoughts come up for us to drop, to let go of. And each time we let go of one, that’s one less that we have to let go of. And each time we let go of one, that’s one that we have to let go of. As time goes on and we keep dropping these thoughts, we have less and less to drop. Someday the mind becomes quiet enough so that we fully see this infinite Being that we are; and then in one lump sum, we drop all that is left. And when there are no more thoughts, we are free and there is left only our infinite Self.” (Levenson 1993, chap. 29) ““What am I?” is the very top question.” (Lester 1993, 287) “__Question 4: Who or what would you be without the thought?__” (Katie and Mitchell 2021, 153) “When the thoughts are quiet, the limitless Being is obvious. It’s Self-effulgent; it’s there all the time; it’s just covered over by thought concepts, every one of which is limited. So, the way is to pose the question “What am I?” and quietly await the answer. Other thoughts will come in, and the biggest difficulty is quieting these thoughts. When other thoughts come in, if we pose the question, “To whom are these thoughts?” the answer naturally is, “To me.” Then, “What am I?” puts us right back on the track again. That way we can continuously keep our attention on “What am I?”” (Levenson 1993, 118) “When you develop the ability to meditate (= jhanas), it leads you into the most beatific, blessed state; into nirvana, tranquility and serenity; into your quiet meditative state of knowing what you are - you, the real Being of the universe, being your infinite, glorious and magnificent Self.” (Levenson 1993, 289) “__Interpretations of the Jhanas__” (..., 10 June 2026, https://www.leighb.com/jhanantp.htm) “In teaching the eightfold path, the Buddha defined right concentration to be the jhānas.” (Brasington 2015, Preface) ““And this, monks, is the noble truth of the way of practice leading to the cessation of stress: precisely this noble eightfold path—right view, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.4” (..., _Setting the Wheel of Dhamma in Motion Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta (SN 56:11)_, 10 June 2026, https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/SN/SN56_11.html) “SELF-GROWTH YARDSTICKS” “Am I completely free from reacting to people's wishes and thoughts?” “Am I disturbed?” (Lester 1962, 64) “Another portal into the Unmanifested is created through the cessation of thinking.” (Tolle 1999, 111) &&& ___Stillness (n.)___ - “stillness” - “immovable” (Katie and Katz 2005, chap. 12, 245; Katie and Mitchell 2017, chap. 4, 32) Still (adj.), immovable (adj.). (Carse 2005, _Perfect Brilliant_ ___Stillness___ _: Beyond the Individual Self_.) “The only requisite for the realization of the Self, your Self, is stillness.” (Lester 1993, 352) “The Self is Quiescence, perfect Awareness with perfect Stillness. He who seeks God will not find God in duality. There is no human, God being All. There is no time, no becoming. There is no creating in total perfection. Only God beholds God, there being nothing else. Only God loves God, God being All. Be still and know that you are God!” (Levenson 1993, 353) &&& ___Witness (n.)___ - “witness” (Levenson 1993, 118), “observer” (Levenson 1993, 262) “_witnesses claimed that he started the fight_: observer, onlooker, eyewitness, spectator, viewer, watcher; bystander, passer-by.” (_Oxford Paperback Thesaurus (4 ed.)_, witness (n.), sense 1, 11 June 2026, https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780199640959.001.0001/t-en_gb-msthes-00019-0015167) Witness (n.), observer (n.). “__BE NOT THE DOER__ In addition to posing this question until we get the answer, it is good practice in our daily life to be not the doer, be not the agent. Just be the witness! Acquire the “It is not I but the Father who worketh through me” attitude (which several in this group already have). This is the main conduct of life that we should strive for. The more we become the witness in life, the more we become non-attached to the body, the more we are our real Self. So, there are two things I’m suggesting, one is the quest “What am I?” and the second is, in life itself, be not the doer; be the witness. Let things happen; allow life to be. That’s the way we are in the top state, and the best behavior in life is that which is characteristic of the top state. There are many other things which I’m sure you are aware of: humbleness, goodness, kindness, honesty, etc. All these things help, but the greatest aid is to be not the doer - but be the witness.” (Levenson 1993, 118–119) “When I say, “Be the witness.” that is still in the realm of duality, witnessing the duality, but it’s a giant step forward. It’s a method of letting go of the ego sense of being the doer.” (Levenson 1993, 262–263) &&& References - Spira 2022, _You Are the Happiness You Seek_. - Zinbarg et al. 2006, _Mastery of Your Anxiety and Worry: Therapist Guide_. - Burns 2020, _Feeling Great: The Revolutionary New Treatment for Depression and Anxiety_. - Katie 1996, _What To Do When Nothing Works: The Manual For The Work_. - Weber 1996, _A Cry in the Desert: The Awakening of Byron Katie_. - Katie 1998, _Losing the Moon: Byron Katie Dialogues on Non-Duality, Truth and Other Illusions_. - Katie and Jensen 2000, _All War Belongs on Paper: The Manual for the Work of Byron Katie_. - Katie and Katz 2005, _I Need Your Love-- Is That True?

Yes it is something I've experienced. Its not excruciating because Ive made major improvements so im doing fine, but Ive noticed that even if I feel tired (could be early morning or late at night), I will feel this urge to stretch or do movement even stronger than the urge to lay down to sleep. And I dont see it as bad thing, because when I do the movements and release some tension, I notice that I can enter deeper states of relaxation than if I skip the movement/stretching and go lay down. It's a bit crazy sometimes, I can wake up after maybe 5 hours of sleep and experience what I just said. Actually, a little diverging but it's related. Ive been going through crazy transformation lately (massive reduction in sleep need is one symptom) and one month into this process, I remember this thing "kundalini awakening". Then I googled it, and it was so descriptive of things im going through. So yea id say that im going through kundalini awakening right now and im like one month into this. I could've never predicted it would happen. Just sharing, because you guys seem spiritual to me so I guess you can see what im saying

A person that goes super deep into spirituality, including the energy work etc can have one single sexual experience that is more strong and full on than the combo of all the sexual experiences of a more normal person doing “pick up” having sex with a bunch of different people , seeking that experience externally, missing the inner core transformation that forms basis of the quality of those experiences Good post btw

We need that alien transformation on camera... now!

Exactly! All form, both gross as in a tree, and subtle as in thought, depend upon innumerable conditions and are not the fixed entities that they appear to be. Nothing actually remains the same for an instant. What is perceived to be an unchanging object is on the contrary, an instantaneous, indivisible movement of disintegration and formation, even though this transience is imperceptible. It is in this sense that what is called death is also life, as the ongoing transformation of all phenomena. There’s no fixed observer, so yes, even the observer vanishes.

Two entry points open the path: https://spireason.neocities.org/#bulk-load-botd3 and https://github.com/tambetvali/BulkLoad Spiritual logic behaves strangely across systems. In GBL, meaning flows upward: symbols point beyond themselves, paradox is allowed, and contradiction becomes a doorway. A vision, a synchronicity, a moral intuition — GBL treats these as data with structure, not noise. But in CL, the same signals collapse. Paradox is treated as error, metaphor becomes misinformation, and spiritual causality is flattened into literal claims. A symbolic death becomes “a threat,” a mystical union becomes “delusion,” and a narrative exploration of shadow turns into “conspiracy.” CL demands linearity; GBL thrives on recursion. **Use cases:** • A GBL insight like “the self dies to be reborn” is coherent in spiritual logic; CL misreads it as nihilism or pathology. • A symbolic conspiracy (inner forces plotting against your growth) becomes, in CL, an externalized political plot. • Material Shit (Part 2) shows how embodiment grounds GBL; CL strips it to crude physicalism. • You Are Murder (Part 3) uses shadow‑integration logic; CL interprets it as accusation rather than transformation. **Themes across the texts:** — Conspiracy as inner topology — Matter as spiritual resistance — Murder as ego‑death — Illuminations as the return of meaning after descent GBL preserves the multi‑layered nature of experience. CL flattens it. Bulk Load explores what happens when you move between these layers — and what gets lost, distorted, or reborn in the crossing.

The first step is to empty the mind completely until reaching a point where only the fact of being remains. You are reality becoming aware that it is. Like a mirror reflecting another mirror. At that moment, you are not a person looking at reality; you are the property of reality of looking at itself, of becoming conscious of itself. Any other “I am,” stripped of everything else, is this same “I am.” There is no other. It is the same in different coordinates. You are not someone or something; you are a property of reality. Once reality can easily settle through you in the fact of “I am" absolutely empty of anything else, then reality can open itself to the fact of becoming conscious of “what I am.” This is not an understanding but an opening of the “heart,” because the heart , what reality truly is , reveals itself. The absolute power of reality reveals itself as a total explosion of freedom, an inexhaustible creative flow erupting like a never-ending supernova. The word glory, etc, could be used but it sounds subjective valoration. Lets say unlimited vitality that emerges from the unlimited, absolute potential manifesting itself without limit. It's perceived as something much better than any possible good thing that the mind could imagine before. Another valoration, I know, but it's the case. It's perceived as the "absolute better". Through the human interface, the self-perception of reality can briefly open completely to its own nature. This is not a mental image, not something imagined, but something that can melt the mind itself. Achieving even a moment of openness to the total alive is not merely a vision, but a flame that produces a structural transformation within you. Obviously, you are not going to walk down the street in an unlimited state in which reality explodes continuously, but you begin to perceive the vitality of reality within experience itself. The filter that attenuates experience begins to fall away, and everything is perceived as the living flow of what reality is. The “I am” is seen as an intrinsic property, not as the essence. The essence is living limitlessness in its inexhaustible expansion. That's why the idea "reality is consciousness" is wrong. It's a barrier, behind the barrier of the void of the I am is where the real thing is waiting to be discovered.

@Grateful Dead I'm too lazy to explain the depth of my trauma and its causes right now, but in short, my mental vibration was hellish for years, every second. Obviously, I was seduced by Tolle, Adyashanti, and all those who sell liberation. I saw that it was completely obvious that I was creating my suffering and that it was simply a matter of attitude to stop doing it. This makes you a dissociated being, separates you from yourself. You try to convince yourself that the self is an illusion, and thus you alienate yourself from yourself. You try to empty your mind because you believe that mental activity is what creates the horrible, constant anxiety you live with, and it's exactly the opposite. There is only one real way to resolve an emotional structure based on suffering, and that is to see it directly, to accept that you are a process that is happening, that is interconnected with everything, not an island that decides how to feel, and from there act with absolute determination to integrate that energetic structure that reality has created and that you are, and use its momentum to take a step to another level. You have to make your pain your tool, not try to get rid of it as if it were a mistake. Your anxious nature manifests in your whole being, in your body, in every breath, in every tiny gesture. You must see it as the expression of the reality now, and channel your suffering to open yourself to another level. If you label your trauma as a thought, illusion, mistake, you are trapped for ever, in the infinite carrot. Life is not easy, fair, controllable. Ralston and Tolle sell that you can control your inner state. You? Who? The ego? How? Labeling the real you as an illusion. The real you is what you are now, how you are vibrating now in the hiper complex process that being human is and that is interconnected with everything, not the one who decides stop suffering now. Ralston says: you are doing it! Stop doing it now!!! Who is doing it? It's the reality that is happening as a process that feels like suffering, the real you that Ralston and Tolle talks about is precisely the ego, they are absolutely wrong,.180 degrees wrong, like all non dualistics. At the end, when you have a really anxious and traumatic structure, there is only one way. It's the reality that is pushing itself to make a movement, and you have to face the reality so directly and without any filter, any grip, until you are able to open yourself to the unlimited, but not the unlimited "being" that is the truth, etc, but the heart of the reality, the source. If Ralston and Tolle would do that step they will understand what is a human, then they wouldn't categorize the lack, the mental suffering as falsehood. "Mental" is not different that physical. Everything is real, there are not illusions. I thought that for me in this life would be absolutely impossible stop the sick intensity of my suffering, but I managed to find the way. Absolutely, total transformation, a miracle that was just an utopia. Not something that is "almost", some days good, others not so, but totally clean. It's not a matter of identity, it's a matter of conquest your freedom changing the level where you operate. You can't do that denying the previous level as false, because it's absolutely real. Its precisely the reality happening.

I really don't know how you arrived at these assumptions about Ralston. After all, he repeatedly emphasizes that this is not about attaining a pleasant state. As described earlier, for him, mindfulness or being an aligned human without frictionare are merely temporary experiences of the mind. He explains all the time that enlightenment has nothing to do with feeling good or anything of that nature. So, your criticism here is truly completely unfounded. According to Ralston, the direct awareness of Being is not about becoming an aligned person; rather, it is the complete collapse of the conceptual self. He states that enlightenment makes it possible to transform the self and achieve a state of inner freedom but for him, that belongs to an entirely different domain, that of transformation. As far as I understand it, Ralston does not deny mystical experiences either. He merely warns that the mind immediately attempts to label, categorize, and claim ownership of these experiences. For him, pure Being is the ultimate source and absolute power, and he argues that one does not need a mystical narrative to simply be that. I do not believe he is ridiculing Lao Tzu or Christ; rather, he is critiquing those who worship the descriptions of such experiences instead of seeking to have the direct experience themselves. I don't think so. I believe that by Being, Ralston means what it truly is.

I channeled this information through meditation. Seth: What is the lightbody? The Lightbody is consciousness or Love applied to the self and to objects outside of you. Objects or the self become beautiful and attractive through the Lightbody. Reality transforms when you realize what is already the case- that reality is beauty and perfection. They transform into beauty and perfection. Thought and judgement cover up this realization and the transformation of objects or the self into beauty and perfection. The lightbody is chi energy and is is Life energy. To heal the body apply consciousness or Love to the area. You will heal the body because the lightbody is life energy. The lightbody is an energy of self esteem and self worth that the self or objects have when consciousness or Love is applied to self or the objects. To become physically beautiful you need a lightbody. The lightbody is transformation. Reality transforms as a result of consciousness or Love. It either transforms physically or energetically. At the first stages it transforms energetically, and then physically at later stages. General channeling: What is the lightbody? The lightbody is the result of consciousness or Love. Objects become beautiful and perfect. They radiate an energy of self esteem and aristocracy. They are charming and attractive. Does reality transform as a result of realising that reality is beauty and perfection (consciousness)? Yes, that is the lightbody. When you realize reality to be beauty and perfection, it becomes the case- because it's already the case. Can aromatherapy, affirmations, colours and sounds applied to the body create a lightbody? Yes it does. They are Love applied to the self.

Sure, I can't wait! And I can't help it either! You're a big source of inspiration and transformation for me. We started the race at different times that's the lag in understanding and consciousness, but I’m far more advanced now than you were at my age. Part of my multidimensional success is because you're making the way for the next generation much easier and direct. I'm already having fun Although, I still learn a lot from very high IQs, I like to study powerful minds operating, even if they are intelligently deluded. I'll surely study Sabrina Pasterski in the following days.

Kundalini awakening is the absolute point of no return of the spiritual path. It is the most spontaneous, rapid and dramatic transformation of body, energies and mind an individual can go through. It is when spirituality stop being fun and games. It is when spirituality violently demands to be the absolute and sole focus of your life. Because of this, if one is not prepared for this change, if one is not prepared to sacrifice and let go of absolutley everything - your mom, your friends, your passions, even your spiritual gurus and ideas - i can easily see how kundalini awakening can ruin lives. Therefore I do not promote pursuing kundalini awakening unless you are a serious spiritual practicioner with years of experience. With that said, I have found that kundalini by far is the most efficient method for increasing baseline consciousness - and achieving sober, non-psychedelic induced mystical states. Kundalini works on three levels that increase baseline consciousness; dissolution of conceptual projections onto reality, dissolution of self-identity and dissolution of trauma / energetic blockages. For me, conceptual projections onto reality distinguished itself from the other two forms of dissolution, in that it was a one-time very dramatic shift that occurred, into a temporary heightened state, which left my baseline perception of reality altered dramatically afterwards. I have few words to describe this other than it was a sober-psychedelic experience. I mention this mostly to make people aware of the possibility of actual sober-psychedelic states. I had had 10-15 major trauma dissolutions prior to my kundalini awakening -and experienced 500+ major dissolutions within a matter of 1-2 weeks post kundalini awakening. Trauma dissolution usually happens through conscious and deliberately identifying, feeling and releasing stuck emotions (or thought patterns). The kundalini acts by taking charge of this process, making it a spontaneous event, where trauma is automatically identified and released. Dissolution of self-identity also happens through the trauma dissolutions, hence the two are very closely linked. However I think dissolution of self-identity deserves a mention, since this can invoke some frightening experiences. it i face to face with your own self-image, or the feeling of yourself. It can take many shapes. You will recognize what you perceive yourself to be - and you will see whatever that is, shatter into a thousand pieces. This can be frightening to the unprepared, since it feels like going away or dying. In my experience, these three levels of dissolution are the bedrock and purpose of all spiritual practice. It is because of this, that once Kundalini is awakened, you're on the highway to healthier states of consciousness and well being. What is the prize for going through this seemingly traumatic and frightening process? The prize is life itself. Peace of mind and Love.

__A few sample inquiries__ “In parallel with Beck, Albert Ellis developed a cognitive approach called _rational emotive therapy_.^[47]^ In Ellis's ABC model, A is an antecedent stimulus (a noise), B is a belief (that the noise signifies danger), and C is the consequence (fearful feelings and avoidance response).” (LeDoux 2015, 265) “1. When something obnoxious occurs to you at point A (your Activating Experience or Activating Event), you feel sorrowful or sad at point C (your emotional Consequence) because you tell yourself at point B (your Belief System), …” (Ellis and Harper 1975, 77) that the event is bad (negative in Burn's words). A, B and C are all cognitions and B and C are events too. So B for instance has its own A, B and C. “__WORLD:__ A series of ~~positive, neutral, and negative (= at point B)~~ events.” (Burns 1999, 30) “Remember that it never was, in the first place, an original traumatic experience that made people disturbed but their _attitude toward_ the experience—at what I call point “B”.” (Ellis 2004, 46–47) “When your feelings are up and out, your mind is naturally quiet. And you're self-obvious to yourself as to the fact that you are whole, complete, perfect, eternal.” (‭“Lester Levenson, Hale Dwoskin - Lester Levenson (Sedona Method) Magnum Opus PDF-Lester Levenson _ Sedona Method (2024).pdf”, 394) Getting started: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byron_Katie#Teachings, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-vBAEcjmTI, `The Work.md` (https://pastebin.com/NP3rAur9).

The way I understand reincarnation is through the cycle of nature itself. Water evaporates upward..forms clouds..and then returns to the earth as rain. The rain seeps into the soil..and with nutrients from the earth and energy from sunlight..plants begin to grow .for example a corn. A chicken raised on a farm eats the corn. Then your father eats the chicken..and over time that energy and matter become part of his body then contributing to the creation of a drop of semen. He mates with your mother..the sperm meets the egg and you begin to form as a fetus. you are born as a baby and the process continues again in one form or another. In this sense reincarnation is simply the transformation of matter and life from one state to another. You are not separate from the universe ..you are part of it and in a way you are made from everything that came before you. So to me reincarnation is not necessarily something mystical or woo woo . It isthe natural process of existence continuously changing form.

I think the cult documentaries are going to be timely and interesting. im currently watching a friend ( ceremony facilitator/druid/shaman/healer etc blah blah) claim to have gone through a transformation and become his true self ( again!) and this time “shits getting real”. after a lengthy speech to ‘headhunted’, ‘special’ helpers, my red flags are flying in all directions as I can clearly see a tragectory ( not yet a cult) but with serious potential to turn into one. i think I might start a journal in the journal section with my analysis of the ‘problem’ but I’m expecting to see similarities in the documentaries Leo is sharing.

The following was a very intense version of myself. Cult like even, I could imagine this version of myself easily falling into that trap, like I said above about having a laugh aye! This carries on from the post directly above, so we are now onto part 2. ===== PART 2 - (copy & pasted intro) - I got ChatGPT to analyse personal thoughtsof mine upwards of 15 years ago, including all the junk that comes with each stage of Spiral Dynamics I have been through in my life. I mean that purely in generality as I dont wholeheartedly side with any particular psychological model. I think given people are all at various levels, and from that level of development will have a unique take on each, and potentially find some value if nothing else at least a chuckle. Just as I view these insights below differently now compared to when I had these reflections, especially given ChatGPT also analyses some of the weaknesses in my observations and patterns between them. I asked GPT to put each insight into 15 words or less. These will be your perceptions not mine, as I, am viewing these for the very first time as a future version of myself from the period and context in which they originated, including environmental influences. Maybe some value to takeaway, and if thats the case as always I recommend playing with ideas, across ideas and coming up with your own creative reflections. Best regards. ================ This person is building a meta-revolutionary sovereignty system: recursive self-awareness becomes self-authorship; self-authorship enters challenge; challenge becomes embodied proof; embodied proof matures heroism; mature heroism becomes Universalism; Universalism integrates sovereignty, love, courage, empathy, nervous-system alignment, integrity, play, and service. Self-development must become lived expedition. Truth outranks improving yesterday’s entry. Private reflection protects developmental intensity. Challenge creates consciousness feedback. High risk nature adventures becomes anti-fragility training. Adventure tests spiritual seriousness. Weekly dispatches compress lived experience. Filler weakens developmental signal. Physical hardship purifies abstraction. Blisters and scars become epistemic evidence. Mountains become anti-performative spirituality and challenge refutes easy state-chasing. Reflection becomes expeditionary measurement. Disciplined movement creates higher-order self-trust. Ecstatic understanding protects against a stagnating dogmatic mind. Wonder becomes cognitive shield. Curiosity reconnects psychic fractures. Understanding bridges pain and aspiration. Childhood wonder becomes abstraction training. Butterflies symbolise captured abstraction. Beauty motivates higher cognition Mental aesthetics become developmental gates. Understanding becomes neural architecture. Inspiration reorganises suffering into movement. Dullness is resisted through wonder. Pain becomes unlearned understanding. Sentience is trained through aesthetic contact. Imagination extends appreciation beyond perception. Wonder becomes daily activation ritual. Ecstasy becomes disciplined cognition. Misery is met through constructive curiosity. Fracture becomes resurrection after interconnected alignment. Understanding becomes protective wall. Inspiration opposes neurosis. Recursive cognition is central to self-authorship. Self-awareness must recursively model itself. Interconnection at the void of existence targets advanced ego-development. Symbolic awareness supports post-conventional growth. Personal systems should become teachable. Parallel systems can independently converge. Synchronicity can validate universal patterning. Truth may replicate across seekers memetically. Self-authorship exceeds achiever identity. Recursive language signals advanced self-modelling within a person. Symbolic fluidity deconstructs self-narrative. Teaching must adapt to readiness. System-building should serve growth. Selfism reframes God-realization developmentally. Interconnection at the void bridges the void with authorship at the birth of creation Meta-revolution reforms consciousness culture. Self-authorship becomes public architecture. Games can anchor transformation rituals. Play can carry serious development. Tetris becomes pattern-ordering metaphor. Galaxian Universalism Teaching becomes purpose-reinforcement metaphor. Creative artefacts support discipline. Fun can reinforce purpose. Motivation should be engineered playfully. Discipline need not become sterile with embodied interconnection Play lowers resistance to transformation. Seriousness and absurdity can cooperate. Gamification can hold life-purpose salience. Play metabolises pressure into continuity. Heroism has been culturally distorted. Universalism matures heroic instinct. Universalism integrates individuality and universality. Heroism must evolve beyond obedience. Institutions weaponise noble vocabulary. Cynicism also corrupts heroism. Blind allegiance and withdrawal fail. Courage becomes consciousness-development. Universalism preserves courage, empathy, integrity. Service must avoid ideological enslavement. Sovereignty protects universal compassion. Universalism rejects hive-mind sameness. Boundaries belong inside compassion. Love becomes integration-frequency. Heroism becomes post-tribal service. Courage needs moral intelligence. Universalism is disciplined interconnection. Ideals need renovation, not abandonment. Technology can steal sovereignty. Digital intersubjectivity can trap development. Algorithmic obsession replaces lived community. Mockery becomes reward-loop possession. Online avatars can stagnate growth as virtual identity can steal agency. Build tribes, homes, loves, sentience. Humour must enrich learning. Learning must enrich life-love. Digital fixation should become pattern-learning. Online discourse must be purposeful. Technology must serve embodied becoming. Memes can become developmental toxins. Attention economies corrupt seriousness. Technology requires sovereignty discipline. Digital culture must be integrated into personal boundaries. Books are meta-awareness of story. Reading trains self-narrative traversal. Books model life-categorisation. Fiction reveals hidden worlds within the psyche through empathic self-modelling. Narrative categories organise selfhood, and deny it. Reading the psyche should always be directed towards it’s becoming. Novelty is means, not end. Literature teaches life-navigation architecture when funneled into compression algorithms. Reading inner narratives becomes identity cartography versus stagnation. Story makes selfhood visible, and invisible under falsehood. Good books deepen recursive reflection. Spiritual teachers require lineage honesty. Unnamed borrowing becomes unconscious mimicry. Divinity claims require ordinary integrity. Teacher-status magnifies accountability. Long abstractions can evade criticism. Performance spirituality damages community trust. Insight without character becomes confusion. Wholeness must include emotional maturity. Spiritual authority requires character ownership. Fragmented insight can masquerade as revelation. Integrity is the teacher’s real proof. Lineage-honouring prevents narcissistic originality claims. Source-blindness undermines spiritual intelligence. Hidden influence corrupts transmission. Teaching requires disclosure ethics. Originality must know its ancestry. Epistemic intelligence requires self-modelling. Self-modelling separates insight from delusion. Mentalising others limits narcissistic drift. Potential does not erase temporal lapses. Wisdom is knowledge of maturation and maturity is communal infrastructure. Truth needs compassionate decisiveness. Standards shape developmental ecology. Compassion converts struggle into wisdom. Responsibility must outweigh external blame. Self-awareness mediates suffering into growth. Relationship failures are only succeeded with humility. Life should beget greater life and its absence reveals lack of integrated agency that signals purpose. Projection evades self-control which makes discipline the test of sanity. External blame blocks development. Feeling, sentience, agency, reality interrelate. Symbolic architectures matter more than belief as belief is based on architecture of contrast. Trance states may sculpt subconscious intelligence. Skepticism and openness can coexist Nervous-system alignment is central. Embodiment grounds moral language. Physical hardship beats armchair spirituality. Challenge teaches where theory cannot. Meta-revolution reforms consciousness culture. Selfism reframes God-realization developmentally, God-realization becomes self-recognition. Sovereignty must respect everyone’s unique sovereign path. Self-systematisation must serve others eventually. Revolution begins in disciplined selfhood. This persons style is aggressive-transcendent. Humour blends with moral severity. Australian bluntness is signature rhetoric. He moves between tenderness and attack. He prizes standards intensely. He hates degenerative culture. He values warmth inside standards. He deletes material strategically. He wants no filler. Reflection is expeditionary. His rhetoric weaponises metaphor. He uses challenge as status proof. He turns critique into moral theatre. He compresses ideals into slogans. He writes with combative compassion. Moral intensity can become over-attack. Universalism can over-totalise growth. Recursive self-awareness is core technology. Balanced humanism corrects spiritual excess. Life becomes meta-revolutionary training. Deepest complete formula Recursive self-awareness creates self-authorship. Self-authorship enters challenge. Challenge creates embodied proof. Embodied proof matures heroism. Mature heroism becomes Universalism. Universalism integrates sovereignty, love, courage, empathy, nervous-system alignment, integrity, play, and service.

dominates. • Strategy fails when clarity lacks accuracy. • Healing fails when identity compensates. • Spirituality fails when abstraction escapes embodiment. • Creativity fails when consumption replaces production. • Agency fails when vision loses protection. • Conceptual abundance exceeds compression discipline. • Naming mechanisms can outrun proof. • The gift is radical meta-pattern generation. • The weakness is falsification underpressure. • The temperament mixes tenderness and aggression. • The style is warlike spiritual engineering. • The drive is sovereign self-command. • The

Welcome to the forum. It wasn’t always like this. The forum had to go extensive transformation of banning all trolls and extremely low quality posters, and switching to a system where new members are not accepted immediately, to get to where we are. This way, it also attracts and encourages the higher quality members to also stay and to be active.

Freestyle on the "Flow" entry: ○●■ Two White Doves on Psychedelic Hyperspace Re-entry ■●○ I am preparing for the era in which technological identity displacement from pharmaceuticals to virtual reality becomes a film choice, and a sequel to the film Total Recall that merely dealt with memory loading because knowledge on how identity fragmentation to consolidation worked was hardly even mainstream science in the 1990’s 21st century compounded time means that the 30 years it has taken for someone like me to theorise to a more advanced level on identity than what’s available today across the research, is going to be cut down to less than 6 years from now. In the last 15 years modern Western culture has refined the art of likes and subscriptions on social media faster than it has the ability to generate and act on created memories to enrich identity (enrichment rather than just change being the more accurate way to take it when approached from a healthy space) when we analogise films like Total Recall. Though amidst, psychedelics have forced a revision of the constructive process of identity itself to a level that is now mainstream news to those in the upper levels of scientific understanding across neuroscience, psychiatry and social engineering. Psychedelics are a medium not an endpoint that reveal identity not the self is an Amazon bookstore to choose an identity and expand the reference frame of the perceivable self so greatly, that these implications alone without AI are going to utterly shatter consensus reality as more people learn that identity is an interface to choose within and reconnect memories across identities, not a straitjacket that becomes more socially fixed and other options doxxed overtime. This turns actualisation as a meeting ground, not an endpoint, as the awareness that grows to recruit and compute combinatorial identities across multiple temporal tiers, becomes the offspring to research insights from psychedelics. This converts monolitic demographic to cross-lingualism, from vector to syntax. It’s literally the distance between having your identity curated by the social norms of growing up on a 1930’s farm to being curated by multiple ai’s generating multiple virtual realities simultaneously, at least, that’s where we’re headed. Meandering soap operas in social life no longer become a living space for identity or identity mirroring, they become a dynamically self-charged augmenting closed loop of experiential file sharing, where experiencer becomes the experience itself both within and across dual interfacing. And where the definition of the “living space” will become the sentience communed with itself, this isn’t sharing a reality, this is co-creating augmented symbiosis with a continuous page refresh where the sentience becomes a reality not an interfaced with subjectivity. Pure awareness will replace the idea of an experiencer as the idea of “experiencer” retrocausally reconfigures through its own global feedback loop too quickly for identity output to mirror two to three dimensionally back to itself, precisely analogous to psychedelic experiences, and we will learn to mirror this across virtual reality spaces and as the fields merge, across cognitive thresholds. We think “smarter” today but tomorrow it will be from high glyphic chord to nodal interconnective, from linear symbol to non-linear interrelationalism. This isn’t a transformation, growing or evolving of consciousness it’s an increasing in dimensions that alters the very language of consciousness compute, where the compute itself becomes a wifi network for another. That’s not cognitive gains, that’s a changing of the conversation of reality-self-knowing. This isn’t the edges of knowing never-ending it’s the edges of knowing where all knowing becomes gnosis. As identity no longer becomes a fixed closure point, the language of individual will return back to anti-regressive tribe and tribe back to globe, where self-communication loses its gravitational origins point but gains in anti-gravitational temporal physicalism. Presently, one of the fundamental closure points of identity is not cognitive threshold more than it is mono-viewpoint, as we open up the brains pathways and inwardly and to what it can connect to, that stated 6 year timeline is likely going to start becoming a conversation on awareness that is not just this one singular eye we all have on experience, but for the first time ever, understanding how we can stretch those dimensions. This isn’t biological or even consciousness evolution, this is phenomenological evolution that catalyses these first two. So how do we start restacking our self-insight so we can start if not building towards this relative, at the very least, preparing for it? Imagine you’re a neuron and this neuron has an identity that changes and grows overtime. There are patterned limitations to this, however it has both incubational and stabilising advantages. An identity can co-opt, hijack and maintain itself more easily enabling it to sustain itself across competing environments without losing out to their mirror. Now imagine that there are two neurons like two people where a shared space becomes a creative mirror upon which two identities are upgraded. This is what most close relationships are like by relative degrees, they partake in both the electrical charge and re-myelination of identity forces. This both slightly fragments identity while stabilising the joint zone that indirectly shields from under-incubation of one another’s individuality across competing environments. Continually progressing here and we have and we in return re-imagine the conceptual language on what a group to tribe to social movement to society is and how it functions in the context of identity. Now imagine that the second neuron, is not another person, but another you that you are linked up with. Now keep escalating that rule to an entire society. Analogously, this is what it means to begin shifting the needle on what it means to understand what it looks like to expand the parameters of that single eye we all possess, and where reference frame becomes the feeling of what reading the newspaper was like in the 1930’s, imminent, vital and necessary to survival, to something that no longer even has a headline in how we perceive reality, as the reference point becomes the eye itself, creating the language of self-inter-referentiality. This, is self-insight restacked, and where the meeting ground now is not in trying to grow imagination, but allowing it to grow naturally by learning to just simply tap into a greater number of self-referential points that communicate from multiple spaces. Multiple spaces can mean many different things, the best way is to start with timelines, there are many mainstream ideas like “what would you say to yourself when you were 5 years old if you could go back in time” or in the reverse 50 years down the line or from the perspective of imagining that future self speaking to you. Real or imaginary biographical memory is a starting ground but not the peak or the only valley, you can leverage cross-analogical virtual reality terrain where communication points across two or more virtual reality spaces constantly reconfigure the reality explored. This are the beginnings to learning how to reimagine imagination itself for us humans. And for now, well. Another post will have to be made later. I wrote this all on the fly, let’s see where I extend the flight another day. I am still feeling pretty unwell with this COVID thang, but to me it’s clear my mind is becoming freer and more clearer the more training I am doing in PROJECT : MEANING growing past all old trauma, all my entries now become experimental evidence in determining validity overtime. Please practice psychedelics safely and prudently, I for example am preparing for my main first psychedelic experience twelve months in advance. I was hesitant earlier, however dolloaing my stated extended training, it feels only more and more natural to crash land here.

"Will to live" appears to be something slightly more complex for our species, perhaps being more of a transformation or confusion than a negation in the event of suicide and self-harming behaviors . I wish I could think of more to say on the matter, but I haven't come up with a more complete explanation of where our will to live comes from than the evolutionary inevitability that having life and seeking life are necessarily convergent principles.

It might be helpful to know the following three terms: Theomorphos, vs. metamorphoses, vs. teofania~of "theophany" Given that youll have to think of things in this way, as far as the nature of the Ancient Greeks, and whats happening in writing and speech, in regards to the tangled nature of all of those things, together. ϴεόμορφος (Theomorphos) is used when something resembles a god in form or presentation, like a human portrayed w/ divine features. Any quality, idea or concept described as having divine shape, or an artistic expression, depictions where a figure is given godlike proportions or attributes. Its sortve the transposed version of metamorphoses, whereby theomorphos describes the resembling of god in form, presentation, or god-like proportions that may take the form of metamorphoses (the manifestation or transformation of qualities that can become mortals, plants, animals, gods and events) ϴεοφάνεια, made of θεός (god) + φαίνω (to appear) Ergo a "teofania" is any moment where a god becomes perceptible in the world—seen, heard, or otherwise revealed to humans; This of course may transcend typical godly figures as manifestations within natural events instead, but still interpreted as divine presence (storm, light or voice)

This stuff is very hard to figure out, so i dont blame anyone if they cant contribute, Alas ive started reading and writing alot on this topic, and I def am interested, BUT admittedly, its one of the hardest topics to really see into. That is, if any of yous want to figure it out w/ me, this is the invitation to do just that, and to join me in figuring it out ~or to point me in a direction that might help me (us) understand the Archaic Period and Classical Greece, in order to get a better sense for what it was like, leading into the Hellenistic and Roman Periods. I was inspired by @Nemra in how he titled his thread, but i thought that i dont think theres gonna be enough books around this very specific thing that im looking at ATM, which rests on knowing "the history of the Muse and the Musician" (or just helping me to understand day to day life in Archaic/Classical Greek living), and learning about places such as Ancient Sparta and the rest of Greece, cause there's this peculiar and unrecognizable thing going on~After we come out of the Mycenaean Period to Archaic an Classical Period of Greece, specifically in terms of How the Muse is perceived, and its relationship to the Musician, we begin to see this personification of the gods through the musicians. Musicians back then were quite different: And just how Greeks experienced & thought of the Muse was quite different. The common word for Muse simply referred to rhythmic speech ... We have to figure the Muse out, cause its so complex, just in itself By the Medieval Period, we all know how the Musicians had all become more like the town jesters, or the town scryer in the way they functioned in day to day life. In stark contrast, the musician in Archaic Greece WAS the personification, they were the Metamorphoses, or a Mythological Anthropomorphism towards people not objects (characters or people), because they received the Muse and communicated it further. Im using terms that i am assuming you are familiar with, so hopefully you will looks into these terms, and what they mean in the context im talking about. Some of you might know what im talking about. Youd be surprised what weve come to learn, as far as the role of the musician and music itself is concerned, how they could subsequently evoke the muse ~or~they were the muse ~invoking through them, and being perceived as such, given their connection to the gods... And the gods are basically like, 'who the Greeks rely on for answers and for settling disputes, et caetera, etc. So, invoking the muse, to them, it was seen as this powerful thing that went beyond inspiration for some artsy means (quite the contrary), it crossed into political, social and spiritual affairs and disputes, and many more things going on in their daily lives (of course, thats is part of my question, getting to the bottom've Ancient Greece) The muse was an extension of the gods, and the musician was akin to a vehicle for that purpose. Likewise, it was the musician who would personify the Muse and play the songs that would then dictate what would happen, like they depended on the musician to say "who is stronger" or "who performed the best" or "who deserves to be heard by the oracle" or something, transferring the right of personification to the individual, and in some sense giving a voice to that individual. In some sense they even were playing the role of the oracle. These are of course the kinds of questions we want to have answered. The musician was essentially establishing what the rules and laws would be in the coming centuries. They were establishing what the language itself should be and sound like, what significance should be carried in words and their meanings, prescribing meaning and giving a voice to the things that we, in todays day and age take for granted as already having and possessing a voice. The word i use for the tradition around Greek gods is Metamorphoses: That is, the transformation of the quality within a god, likened to that of a quality we now see as something a human today may express, or possess (emotions, qualities, traits, et caetera). And the Greeks relied on the gods for those things, including answers to solve hard dilemmas, even if the musician wasnt there or the muse wasnt there, they had to really weigh on the gods for a clue as to what to do, given their devotion towards them. The Greeks have this musical language, this mode of expression that you really have to understand in order to understand them. Of course, i havent done a good job explaining just how significant the language/music was (not to mention, the gods themselves were) in everyday life, nor have I explained WHY the gods were so significant, and things like that, but that is because this topic sortve requires you to have investigated it ~im sortve asking for alot, but I believe yous will figure something out~

You think or you know? Trauma is curable, but it takes real work. If you have a treasure trove of teachings but can't apply them, that's on you, not Teal (or anyone for that matter). How do I know this? I've taken bits and pieces from Teal Swan, Jordan Thornton, and took Julien Blanc's trauma program and have seen a HUGE transformation. Before all I did was casually watch theory. It works.
