No. It makes me conscious like an alien hive mind. I become so conscious that it starts to bleed into insanity. No amount of meditation will ever make you that conscious.

@Leo Gura awesome, I feel LSD very much struck me as being this way, I remember my first couple times taking it, Seeing tumbling Salvador Dali’s moving across my room was quite a surreal moment, Had a lot of surreal moments on acid ,it’s quite a head twister. Salvia is just like abstract land, This is like realms of consciousness you just stumble upon and are just in awe that you can even get a glimpse of this piece of reality, Like I will close my eyes and go to a completely white room with melting rainbow smiling dogs how am I imagining this? That’s how it feels sometimes like the power or imagination to hold images and hyperboles is so grand and crazy like you talk about reality being an infinite hallucination, That is probably the most impressive facet of reality to me that I can dream up any visual any world essentially with my own mind, That’s why everything seems perfectly connected when I’m on an lsd trip since it’s literally almost like I’m altering the storyline and elements of the dream, Super alien and surreal. It’s like waking up in a dream and it all starts falling apart in that moment, Its like acid on the fabric of the dream, That’s a good metaphor for psychedelics! btw I far prefer lsd over salvia it’s far more comfortable, Salvia is like a veil of mental haze, I can imagine colors that I’ve never seen before as that haze is coming on it’s unbelievably fractured yet synergistic and structured and almost like if you bundled a lot of hallucinations into like one interconnected knot, It’s like every file cabinet of e universe has been storing commands for how qualia and the world appear get fucked with and you have to be the one to rearrange all those records so to speak and make use of them, God has to come in contact with seemingly long lost parts of itself and experiences of itself.

Yeah, it's that way for me too. Similar to salvia in alien vibe. Weed just affects people differently.

Because it sounds insane. He also didn't really explain it well on the forum he just said "I am Alien God" Sort of weird from most human paradigm.

@Leo Gura it's not just about teaching, more about how you are doing so far. You might be right that no one understands. But there are really consciousness freaks out there, maybe they can resonate a little bit. And even if someone sees that he cannot understand this, this will trigger curiosity. Furthermore even with your body and eyes you can tell a lot. A lot about how profound it is what you saw,how it impacts your life and so on. You are a really authentic, so this to see is even more of a value. And what about teaching how to become an alien mind, your number one goal to teach? I hope this was not just a loose thought while being on psychedelica. Or did you changed your opinion on this. The word alien triggers of course some reactions in close minded people

I have finally come to see an important, in fact essential, dynamic that one can fall victim to. In my eyes Leo has fallen to this dynamic, a trap he was unable to predict to due certain biases within his ego. We all understand that to access higher states of consciousness we must alter the structure of our ego-mind. There are different ways to access higher states of consciousness. Leo is a proponent of a brute force methodology, namely the attempt to use radical psychedelic states to dissolve certain egoic structures so that we get access to higher states of consciousness. I will go into detail for why this is dysfunctional in a moment. Now, there is one important key insight that must be kept in mind. A state of consciousness fundamentally has no evaluative quality to it. Meaning, Infinite Love is not inherently mindblowing, it is not inherently awesome. When you have a radically high consciousness experience, you are not crying in amazement because of the experience, you are crying because of the way your egoic structures react to the state. If you were ultimately selfless, meaning you had no egoic structure, you would not get amazed by Pure Infinite Love. There would be no reaction to Pure Infinite Love, you would not deem it to be extraordinarily important. All of those things are egoic mind reactions. When Pure Infinite Love is terrifying, or beautiful, or amazing, that's all a function of egoic structures reacting to an influx of energy. Why is this important? It's important because the degree of corruption of the teachings is determined by the difference in compatibility between the egoic structure and the state that was achieved. The more underdeveloped an ego is, the higher the corruption of the state will be once the structure re-emerges. Leo is exceptionally underdeveloped for someone who has reached such high states of consciousness. His mind is far less developed than that of people who have not even remotely reached the states that he has with the help of psychedelics. This means that his insights, his understanding, his reaction to the states he is experiencing are all corrupted. His teachings are for that reason more corrupt, perverted and devilish than someone like Eckhart Tolle or Sadhguru, people who presumably have not reached the same states of consciousness. There is an inherent limitation to the way Leo is approaching spirituality. The more violent the reaction to a given state that you achieve, the more friction there exists between your mind and the state. Violence in this means any extraordinarily intense emotional reaction, independent of positive or negative charge. To a super-developed alien being, your most intense psychedelic trip would not even evoke a reaction. It would be normal, like you looking at the color red. If this is inconceivable to you, then you do not have a prosper grasp of what ego is. It is true that such experiences permanently change the egoic structure, and to a degree they can aid in development. However, the attempt to bent egoic structures through highly energetic states is barbaric, unsophisticated and impatient. The state can be imagined to be a highly energetic force which is discharged into the egoic structure. The less reaction to a state, the less imprint on the egoic structure, the more appropriate that state was for your mind. The higher the energetic state, the more friction there will be between your mind and that state. To use this as a developmental tool can lead to extreme dysfunction because it is akin to trying to brutally shape an object into a form that will be able to support that amount of energy. It can cause damage to a mind for that reason, damage that can be impossible for the mind itself to detect, because it is changing the very structure of the mind. Leo's entire approach is based on an idea of reaching extreme states to induce extreme egoic friction, in an attempt to reach Infinity. The truth is, the human mind is not capable of holding Infinite Energy. It's not designed to hold that much energy, and the radicalness of his experience is only a demonstrating of the existence of egoic structures. In the future we will not employ such methodology. We will not force inappropriate states into minds to change the structure of those minds. That's just stupid. We will change minds to allow states. It takes more time, more wisdom to do so. And this is good, it is a function of Divine Intelligence to allow for the existence of evolution. The future will not be paved by Psychonauts. The future will be built by people who create roads people can walk on, to venture further and further into the infinite realms of consciousness. In time, this methodology will get us much further than some children tripping their brains out on some psychedelics. What Leo currently is doing is child's play, it's taking a mind and blasting it as far into Infinity as possible. So far that your ego will then inevitably corrupt it because it is not at the appropriate level to process that state. How the egoic structures will bent and permanently change in the process of energetic overload is largely random. If you use this methodology, it is literally only a matter of time before your mind will develope dysfunctions. It comes with the energetic overload, it's literal function is to shred your mind enough to allow that amount of energy to pass through for the amount of time you reside in that state. In conclusion, Leo's teachings are corrupt because his mind has grown dysfunctional, but also because his mind is not developed enough to process the states which he explores during tripping. His teachings, of course, will not be the future of consciousness work. The mind structures required for a proper engagment with the infinite do not even exist today, and the people who will design those minds will not use Leo's teachings either. It will be a slow process, a changing of minds until we reach the states, not the other way around. That is the only sustainable way. What Leo is doing is nothing but the tickling of his own ego, using the Divine to stimulate himself. The best evidence of this is this forum, which has grown to be little more than a platform to fullfill his own egoic desire for self-expression. A clear symptom of this corruption is the idea that you need to reach Infinite, as if this life was some sort of rat race to God. That's absurd. You came from Infinite Love, and you will return to Infinite Love, inevitably, no matter what you do in this life. Leo's most mind blowing trip is nothing compared to what awaits you. Imagine what happens when everyone finds out that all this work was for something everyone gets for free at the end anyways. But hey, the ego is going to ego.

I have tried LSD + DMT and I would say that it was the most profound experience that I have ever had. But it was so abstract and foreign/alien, that I had a hard time understanding it. But I would describe it as being merged with the center/source of Reality. The experience felt like being thrown in to The Sun. The dose was 200ug of high quality liquid acid and 30mg DMT. I haven’t tried LSD + 5MEO though. Saw a vid on it before. Can recommend that guy’s youtube channel. It’s really good. Check it out.

Look at your dog and ask if it can self reflect or turn its gaze inwards. It cannot. Man can reverse its gaze. This is God. Now, thats not to say that there isn't an alien out there capable of self reference. But make no mistake - self reflect and realize that an alien only exists in your imagination.

Notice also how anthropocentric solipsism can be. How many of you, after God-realization, still have a problem with the existence, the manifestation of beings utterly alien to us? As if man was the only highest, most perfect manifestation, the incarnation of God. I'm afraid it's precisely the opposite, which is an excellent opportunity to progress if you are aware of it. And entities utterly alien to us, as well as those more known (although not liked by us and vice versa:) exist in the same sense as homo sapiens. In God's Imagination, let's say. Always question the obvious, what seems to you to be obvious. Is your God's realization full? Leo recently discovered that might not be so. I know he is right that there are other, totally non-human realizations of consciousness. Some of them advanced to an unimaginable degree. Call them imagined stories of existence if you like. It doesn't change anything. Just like different dimensions of reality, humans (in the sense of the human mind) are unaware of and often deny their existence in advance! Why? Just because of our dull anthropocentrism.

@Elton he gave up on it after tripping apparently. Alien God doesn’t need to make courses.

This will be a thread celebrating and sharing the beauty and alien world of the ocean. Starting with my all time favourite: - SHARKS ? And most of all, the Threshers Thresher Sharks can be found in many places in the world, currently there are three types of Thresher Sharks in the oceans. The best place to see them is in the Philippines on a dive site near the tiny island of Malapascua called Kimud and Monad shoal. Kimud and Monad shoal are basically sunken islands but the top is around 12 meters below the surface. The Thresher that is seen here is the pelagic one, it's the smallest of the Thresher, average about 3 meters from head to tail. Usually the tail is the size of the body. They come there usually in the early morning to let them self be cleaned by cleaner fish. They're completely harmless for humans. For a long time it wasn't sure why they had such a long tail. There were speculations but never any proof on video, until 2012 when it was filmed near Pescador Island on the west side of Cebu, Philippines. They use it for hunting.

@Carl-Richard Listen my friend. You have your beliefs; everyone has one. I had my theories and such. At some point, I discovered the dimensions of existence and experience; I don't know what to call them, which, despite attempts to describe them in language, are elusive to the mind. Yet, their experience is much clearer and (this is a bad word) more real than what most I took for granted, the absolute reality of this life outside of me. The second interesting aspect of these dimensions is that they are not alien to me; I will even be tempted to say that I know them (wrong wording again); I feel them more strongly than the dimension in which we are now exchanging views. Of course, the mind tries to describe it all somehow, and different stories fit more or less, but this is not the point. Sometimes I think that even speculating on this subject is a bit pointless because all we have, is an instrument of mind programmed according to certain axioms and conditions that conceptualizes what it thinks it knows. But what is not done for fun? One more observation - I've recently noticed an increasingly frequent tendency to rationalize everything by force and perceive it in black-and-white categories. As if that comfort zone had to be defended at all costs. The last story. The moment when, as a result of very severe pains in the spine, which put me in bed for six months and put my whole life in question, I took care of myself and started practices that, according to 3 more outstanding neurosurgeons, should lead me, at best, to the wheelchair. Not only did all my symptoms disappear and my spine magically healed, but a whole host of other chronic ailments I've struggled with since I was a child - subsided. Mental problems too. I've never felt better. I gave up all stimulants, alcohol, and cigarettes; my diet is gradually shifting from vegetarianism to veganism despite the warnings of Western medicine. I have not taken any medications for two years. I live intensely. I work in rope access; I climb very actively at quite a decent level. I recently tore the inner meniscus in my right knee. Orthopedic opinion - to be removed or to be stitched. It won't grow back. Too poorly concealed. 2 months of particular squats combined with proper breathing and daily yoga practice, and there is no trace of the injury. After almost a year of intensive Kundalini Kriya practice, I experienced an out-of-body presence twice. The second time was so strong that I didn't want to return. The feeling of lightness, vitality, intensity, aliveness, and complete lack of stream of thoughts and emotions was so liberating that I couldn't convey it. The worst fear I've experienced since I was a child - fear, phobia of pigeons disappeared like fog in a month from this experience. Do I know the answer to any questions? No, none. I often can't say what a limitation or a condition is. Does it exist? Maybe ... One thing I know is when such a border disappears, when anxiety and fear disappear, the feeling of freedom that fills me is at least as good as after a good shit. Well, I exaggerated. 1000x better. But I still love stories .

But what is the point of awakening, become a colourful alien, and then what? How long to be an alien before its boring? What is wrong with this dream that makes you want to awaken so much, when as soon as your awake, your back to the dream again. No one has answered the reason to awake within your paradigm of awakening, that constantly changes anyway, what you class as awakening a year or two years ago, is no longer awake, it's now the alien awakening, where does this end, and what is the purpose or goal?

Once, in the Polish countryside, I met a child, a boy aged 5-6, whom I would not hesitate to call some total alien. Parents - simple people from the village - farmers, kid - indigo is an understatement. The level of empathy, understanding, and curiosity about the world, and lack of fear normal for children of this age was and still is overwhelming. We fixed the roof for these people. It lasted several days. I once spent an entire afternoon with this boy after work instead of going home. He told me about his natural discoveries. If a UFO landed in front of my house, it would have a problem making a similar impression on me.

Ah yes, cessation is something you invented to keep dreaming. However, - Levels of god-realization - Alien kangaroo-mouse love - Genes makes you have more or less consciousness - Psychedelics make you awaken - My awakenings - My teachings - Relative and absolute domains - Deconstructing reality, very risky - Your / my fear - Survival etc. Very real and super important.

Post-hoc mental gymnastics aside, you'll still get mad the moment you find out that somebody sexually assaulted your girlfriend, unless you're some kind of alien robot. How you process that anger is of course up to the individual.

Nope .Leo is so much higher consciousness than these human chimps . The guy gets information downloaded into his mind in real time as he speaks to the camera for hours on end . The dude is in a whole new level. Have you awoken to alien love yet ?

Good description. but the point here is that leo says that the deeper he has gone, the more love, the more selflessness, the more beauty, the more happiness. Instead it looks like he has aged 10 years in the trenches of World War I watching murder and evil. The younger Leo was much more authentic. imo the younger leo had a total awakening and he looked happy, bright. This awakening should have served him to be able to guide others to that same realization, and thus have a selfless, happy and love-filled life. instead, his path was to "go deeper." deeper into infinity, where more and less are the same. until he became an alien rat and stuff. denying your own human nature, becoming a strange guy that nobody understands, always dissatisfied. One detail: He recently had a scare from too many psychedelics. a serious imbalance. what has he done? take a break from drugs? maybe 3 months without taking? not! switch to thc. verdict: junkie But anyway, he's an extremely brilliant person, a pioneer. Anything he does is very interesting for us. We can learn from his mistakes. And of course, probably the genius could reverse the situation and take advantage of it. Lets see

He said he would when he found a suitable camera to record the transformation. He also said that God Realization was nonsense, that really the objective was the alien god, but that this was hidden from us because our human mind could not manage it. that from now on he was going to teach alien awakening. He also said that he had never been happier because if he closed his eyes he would see green and blue aliens doing somersaults and going in helicopters. then he expressed concern because he was in a constant psychedelic state, with nocturnal activations, and then he never returned to the matter. it looks like he is now using thc . This all sounds pretty strange, doesn't it?

Coming from a guy who thinks he can record himself transforming into an alien god for everyone to see. Talk more about fantasy.

There is no alien-mind, only mind.

Ah but don't forget about alien-mind

The Power Of Not-Knowing https://youtu.be/RMXNQ-nGBSA Introduction to the topic of not knowing and how it relates to spirituality and epistemology Distinction between wise and foolish people in terms of their awareness of the limits of their knowledge Invitation to consider the possibility that you don't actually know what anything is Example of trying to define a fork and the difficulties that arise when attempting to do so Lack of understanding of even basic concepts like atoms and the nature of reality Importance of acknowledging and embracing not knowing in order to truly learn and grow Discussion of the ego and how it interferes with the ability to not know and be open to new ideas Techniques for practicing not knowing, including meditation and questioning assumptions The power of not knowing in terms of creativity and problem-solving Conclusion and encouragement to embrace the unknown and continue exploring the concept of not knowing. The mind puts up "fake fronts of knowing" These include beliefs, assumptions, speculations, theories, hearsay, deductions, narratives, ideology, intuitions, etc. These are fallible and partial They are twisted to fit the ego's needs for survival and meeting its own needs Truth vs. being right: most people care more about being right Society creates an illusion of knowing through various sources such as religion, science, education, media, etc. This creates the "social matrix" Mankind's ignorance is never acknowledged If we encountered an advanced alien civilization, we might demonize them instead of accepting our own ignorance We have a history of religious, scientific, and ideological errors Fork floating in space and mind's role in constructing reality Difficulty in distinguishing between what exists before the mind and what is constructed by the mind Rationalization of what enables survival as true knowledge, but possibility that this may not accurately reflect reality Primordial desire to know oneself and the world Most people do not understand this desire and may view it as frivolous or for practical purposes This desire may be a manifestation of the mind's inherent nature and a way to understand its own existence Understanding the true nature of reality may be difficult or impossible for the human mind The concept of the "unspeakable" in relation to knowledge and understanding The role of language and symbols in shaping our understanding of reality Importance of cultivating a deep understanding of oneself and the world in order to live a fulfilling life. Muster the courage to admit when you are wrong Admitting you are wrong is a one-time pain but living with the belief that you are right when you suspect you are wrong can cause pain for the rest of your life Most people want to avoid short-term embarrassment of admitting they are wrong Not knowing can be a powerful antidote to self-deception and closed-mindedness Practice not knowing to become more open-minded Introspection can help with being honest about when you don't know something Being open-minded can help with learning new things Asking questions and being curious can help with not knowing and being open-minded The idea of being on planet Earth should be removed from one's worldview A shift in one's state, rather than just talking about not knowing, is necessary to truly enter a state of not knowing It is important to distinguish between a shift in state and just discussing a concept or theory It can take years of work to remove the idea of Earth from one's worldview It is important to get comfortable with not knowing and putting oneself in a state of not knowing It is important to be aware of one's ego and resist its attempts to hold onto certain beliefs or stories Other points will be discussed later, but for now it is important to focus on getting comfortable with not knowing. All knowledge is fundamentally second order First order is raw sensations and being Second order is knowledge about first order, including associations and concepts Ego often focuses on second order (what can be done with something) and ignores first order (being of something) Scientists try to understand consciousness at second order, but it is a first order phenomenon Reality is first order Being and existence are prior to knowledge of them To understand consciousness, need to understand first order Need to make a distinction between first and second order Pragmatism ignores first order, leading to a distorted view of reality Deconstruction series discusses the myth of science and the importance of first order. Language can be imprecise and can result in a loss of meaning during translation A better way to understand something is to experience it firsthand advanced AI or aliens with larger brains may be able to communicate by creating physical objects in their minds and transferring them to others Omniscience does not mean knowing all factual information, but rather understanding that everything we perceive is a creation of our own minds The concept of self is an illusion and is created by the mind The mind can be trained to let go of the illusion of the self and to operate at the level of pure being This allows for true understanding and connection with the universe The concept of free will is also an illusion, as all events are predetermined by cause and effect It is important to let go of the ego and attachments in order to reach enlightenment and live in the present moment. The paradox of not knowing is that the mature mind admits of not knowing more, but ends up knowing things that the immature mind thinks are impossible to know The immature mind believes it is impossible to know things like reality, absolute truth, god, consciousness, love, infinity, and the paranormal When the mind is open to not knowing, it can have mystical experiences and awakenings, potentially through the use of psychedelics While not knowing may allow one to know some impossible-to-know things, there is still much that is not known Not knowing should not be used as an excuse for epistemic nihilism, skepticism, or cynicism, or to become inactive and passive Not knowing should not be used to claim that nothing can be known or that everything is subjective, as these are definitive statements of knowledge Not knowing should not be used to derail one's life or disrupt activity, as survival and everyday happiness require activity The mature mind does not get attached to knowing, but still uses it in practical ways The mature mind is open to change and new information, and does not cling to dogma or preconceived notions The mature mind is able to hold multiple viewpoints and consider multiple perspectives The mature mind is able to use not knowing as a way to question and explore, rather than as a way to avoid or dismiss. Steve Bannon's strategy is to "flood the zone with [__]" in order to spread misinformation and conspiracy theories Not knowing can be weaponized by bad actors, and it is a mistake to put foolishness on the same footing as wisdom or inexperience on the same footing as experience Not knowing does not mean that one should ignore intuition or common sense in the pursuit of survival Not knowing does not mean one should stop pursuing education and wisdom The ego may try to use the concept of not knowing as an excuse to avoid learning and growing It is important to balance not knowing with a focus on survival, truth, and wisdom Not knowing should be practiced in safe contexts before attempting to apply it in more dangerous situations It is important to keep one eye on survival while also pursuing truth and wisdom Conscience and intuition are important for making decisions Intuition is not always right and can still lead to mistakes Following your intuition is better than doing nothing Life is full of imperfect choices and requires trial and error Suffering can help teach what does not work in life Creating a good life involves principles like hard work and meditation Contemplate the limits of knowing and question everything that is known Remember that the being of things is unknowable Enter deep states of not knowing through practices like meditation and psychedelics Use caution and responsibility when using psychedelics Practice self-inquiry and self-reflection to deepen understanding Cultivate a sense of mystery and wonder about the world Surrender to not knowing and embrace the unknown. The importance of not knowing and being comfortable with uncertainty The reality that life is chaotic and uncertain The default fallback position should be "I don't know" Operating better from a place of not knowing because it removes fantasies, expectations, and assumptions An improvisational attitude is helpful in certain situations The benefit of not having a script or plan when interacting with others The importance of authenticity in communication The practice of mindfulness and living in the present moment The idea that reality is not fixed and is constantly changing The concept of "beginner's mind" in Zen Buddhism The value of not clinging to preconceived notions and being open to new ideas and experiences

How To Fall In Love With Life https://youtu.be/u31Nk3ZAh-o Many people become disillusioned with reality or life It is essential to have a zest for life in order to live a good life There is a lot of negativity and self-pity present in society It is important to discipline oneself to cut through this negativity Personal development and spirituality can increase one's zest for life, but it can also cause one to become caught up in a self-improvement rat race and lose the naive joy of life It is important to recognize when personal development and spirituality are not aligning with one's goals and adjust accordingly The initial stages of personal development and spirituality can be naive and misguided It is important to find what brings joy and fulfillment to one's life and pursue it with enthusiasm Engaging in activities that bring joy can increase one's zest for life It is important to be present in the moment and appreciate the beauty of life Practicing gratitude can increase one's zest for life Taking risks and trying new things can increase one's zest for life It is important to have a growth mindset and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth Having a sense of purpose and meaning in life can increase one's zest for life Having close relationships and a supportive community can increase one's zest for life Alien life captures the imagination and inspires people to pursue engineering, science, academia, and art Engineering can be approached in a shallow, materialistic way, but it can also be a way to connect with and appreciate consciousness The same goes for academia and art Creative pursuits can be used as a medium to deepen appreciation and connection to consciousness Example of personal experience with video game design and the beauty of motion graphics Alien life and the possibility of intelligent extraterrestrial civilizations also connects with consciousness Thinking about these things allows us to appreciate and fall in love with reality more The more we are aware of the interconnectedness of consciousness, the more we can appreciate and fall in love with different aspects of it Undertaking a process requires serious work If you do not challenge yourself and honor your consciousness, you may become disillusioned and complacent You may engage in shallow and animalistic behaviors and become addicted to various things If you do not invest in yourself and build a beautiful life, you may waste decades and eventually consider suicide Society does not encourage investing in oneself, so it must be cultivated within oneself Health, growth, learning, execution, and creativity are important pillars to focus on in life Health involves taking care of your body and mind, including exercising and eating well Growth involves personal development and self-improvement Investing in oneself involves investing time, energy, and resources into personal development Learning involves acquiring new knowledge and skills Execution involves taking action and implementing what you have learned Creativity involves using your imagination and being open to new ideas All of these pillars require a lifelong commitment and daily effort to cultivate and maintain. Reading and investing in oneself is fulfilling and meaningful Anything that promotes personal growth should be pursued Socializing and investing in social skills can lead to fulfillment in the future Learning is a crucial aspect of personal growth Developing a growth mindset is important for personal growth Setting and achieving goals helps with personal growth Engaging in activities that challenge and stretch oneself helps with personal growth Taking care of oneself (e.g. health, nutrition, exercise) can enhance personal growth Surrounding oneself with positive and growth-oriented individuals can promote personal growth Reflecting on and analyzing one's experiences and actions can facilitate personal growth The game of life is one that cannot be won, but can be lost if not consistently pursued The pillars of this game include: falling in love with consciousness, honoring it, pursuing health and growth, investing in oneself, learning and execution, and creativity Others will try to distract you with petty human [__] and it is important to set boundaries to avoid being dragged down Petty human [__] is low consciousness and robs life of its beauty Need to develop an attitude of investing in and improving your fundamentals Connect with the joy of saying no to unhealthy habits and engaging in healthy ones Create joy in discipline, productivity, and purposeful work Connect with the joy of meditation, exercise, learning, and self-improvement Remember that true value in life is found in things that require sacrifice and hard work, not in superficial pleasures Begin to cultivate gratitude and appreciation for life and the present moment Remember that you are in control of your own life and have the power to create the life you want for yourself External challenges can lead to resentment and avoidance Choosing challenges and setting goals can be fulfilling and meaningful Choose challenges that align with your values and that you accept willingly Fulfilling life involves conscious living and connecting with the present moment Art can be its own reward, regardless of whether it is sold It is better to choose your challenges rather than having them choose you Avoidance of challenges can lead to a meaningless and disconnected life Fulfilling life involves creative expression and meaningful connection with reality Living a fulfilling life involves engaging in activities that bring joy and satisfaction This can be a long process that takes years to complete As you engage in these activities, you may find that you are less interested in shallow pleasures like unhealthy foods and alcohol At first, you may feel like you are sacrificing pleasure by saying no to these things in favor of healthier choices, but over time, you will find that the deep joys of life are more fulfilling Eventually, you will reach a tipping point where the shallow pleasures no longer hold much appeal Addiction is often a result of a lack of deeper fulfillment in life, rather than the chemical itself Engaging in new experiences and connecting with others can bring joy and fulfillment to your life Avoiding dangerous substances like heroin and instead exploring consciousness through safer means like psychedelics can also contribute to a fulfilling life The importance of sober living Definition of sober living includes saying no to unhealthy or toxic things and building a healthy life based on principles, holistic integrity, and health Cultural idea of sobriety is flawed Sobriety means living in truth and saying no to petty human desires Psychedelics can be used in a sober way, but only if used as a spiritual modality in addition to other practices and executing on life purpose Building a hyper sober life takes time and requires changing one's palate to reject mediocrity and laziness The joy of sober living includes a transcendent consciousness and living according to one's principles Hindus have a concept of three gunas: satwik (sober or truthful), rajas (over excited or overstimulated), and tamas (lazy or depressed) The goal is to aim for the satwik life The benefits of sober living include increased energy, productivity, and fulfillment People who are "born lucky" or have things handed to them (such as good looks, money, etc.) may not appreciate or value those things as much as those who had to work hard for them People who have things handed to them may also not be as deep or tested as those who had to struggle Physical attractiveness in particular can lead to shallowness, as others judge and value a person based on their appearance rather than their character The most fulfilling aspects of life come from the challenges one faces and the personal growth that results from overcoming them Becoming good at sex requires effort and learning, and people who have it easy in this area may not appreciate or understand sex as much as those who had to work for it The most attractive women may not be known for their depth, as they are valued for their appearance rather than their character It is natural to feel jealous of people who seem to have it easy, but it is important to remember that the challenges one faces and the effort put in to overcome them are what make life fulfilling and valuable The author has personally struggled to become extroverted and charismatic, despite appearances to

State Of Consciousness Is Everything https://youtu.be/2u5M6tDc5TE State of consciousness is everything and is the fundamental universal rule Reality consists of one thing: consciousness, which takes different states Objects do not exist outside of consciousness; they are part of whatever state of consciousness you are in Examples of different states of consciousness include dreaming, being drunk or high on drugs, being tired or sick, being in a meditative state, and being in a hypnotic state The brain is like a radio that can tune into different states of consciousness, and the body follows the brain in experiencing those states It is possible to intentionally shift one's state of consciousness through various methods such as meditation, hypnosis, and psychoactive substances The state of consciousness that one is in affects their perception of reality and their experience of life It is possible to become aware of and master one's own state of consciousness, leading to greater control over one's experience of reality and greater spiritual growth. The concept of consciousness is universal and not tied to a physical body or neural network The physical universe is a figment of consciousness, not the other way around The concept of a physical universe is an idea in the mind, and the actual physical universe is also a figment of consciousness Every object and person, including Albert Einstein and the speaker, is a figment of consciousness Consciousness weaves together "figments" or strands of information to create larger concepts or ideas This process of weaving figments together can be repeated infinitely, creating nested layers of information The concept of consciousness is difficult to grasp and understand fully DMT is a figment of consciousness Memories, helicopters, stomach aches, pina coladas, and intense anger are all figments of consciousness The idea that reality is made of certain kinds of figments of consciousness is incorrect One figment is not more fundamental than any other figment Reality is made of as much a pina colada as it is a sexist joke or Disneyland or a helicopter The relativity of substrate means that one building block is no more preposterous than any other The complexity of a pina colada and an electron is identical It doesn't matter where on the infinite zoom scale you are, some things are not easier or harder for reality to create The idea that reality is made of small, fundamental building blocks is a human idea and not a fact Reality is infinite and cannot be broken down into fundamental building blocks Reality is not made of atoms or quarks or energy or mathematics Reality is not made of anything Reality is not a thing that can be made of anything Reality is not a thing at all Reality is not even a concept Reality is infinite and boundless Reality is not even a "place" Reality is not even a "where" Reality is not even a "what" Reality is not even a "how" Reality is not even a "when" Reality is not even a "who" Reality is not even a "why" Reality is not even a "which" Reality is not even a "whose" Reality is not even a "if" Reality is not even a "then" The speaker believes that consciousness is irreducible and infinite Consciousness is made up of every possible figment of consciousness The speaker suggests that understanding consciousness requires a deep awakening and may require one to lose their sanity The speaker believes that attempting to understand consciousness using scientific methods will not be successful The speaker suggests that understanding consciousness requires grasping it from the top down, not the bottom up The speaker believes that inquiring into the nature of reality, oneself, and consciousness may require one to lose their sanity The speaker believes that the ultimate nature of reality and where it came from is not easily accessible or understandable without losing sanity The speaker suggests that the process of understanding consciousness and reality may involve experiencing altered states of consciousness The speaker believes that traditional methods of learning and education are not sufficient for understanding consciousness and reality The speaker suggests that the ultimate understanding of consciousness and reality may require a personal experience or transformation. Intelligence cannot be created from the bottom up, it must be understood from the top down The material world is not capable of comprehension, only the mind is Material objects, such as the human brain, are not actually material but rather mind masquerading as material The nature of mind is infinite sentience and intelligence High levels of intelligence can feel like insanity to humans Humans may perceive those with high levels of intelligence as otherworldly or supernatural entities The mind has a fundamental capacity for sentience and intelligence The speaker is discussing the relationship between states of consciousness and understanding Thinking, modeling, and conceptualizing cannot substitute for states of consciousness One's current state of consciousness determines what they can understand and communicate to themselves and others The English language is limited in its ability to communicate concepts beyond a narrow, ordinary set of consciousness Spiritual teachers may incorrectly teach that thinking is an obstacle to spirituality and awakening Thinking can expand and become "hyper thinking," a new dimension of intelligence that allows for reasoning and thinking in "hyper-dimensional" ways This hyper thinking is a kind of intelligence that most of humanity does not know exists, and may be similar to what an evolved alien species might possess The importance of raising one's baseline state of consciousness and accessing temporary peaks The mistake of dismissing the value of temporary peaks or solely focusing on raising the baseline The need for both approaches in spiritual development The relativity of states of consciousness and the lack of a "best" or "invalid" state The role of states of consciousness in understanding and experiencing the world The potential downsides of high states of consciousness for certain goals or desires The connection between spirituality and changing one's state of consciousness The potential dangers of spiritual practices and the importance of caution and self-awareness The role of substances in altering states of consciousness and the potential risks and benefits of using them. The speaker discusses ways to raise one's baseline state of consciousness One way is to sit and concentrate for long periods of time without distraction Another way is to practice yoga and intense breathing Psychedelics can also be used to experience higher peaks of consciousness The speaker explains that state of consciousness determines what an individual can do and access Mystics can do seemingly impossible things because they are in different states of consciousness Paranormal abilities and cities are possible from higher states of consciousness Clairvoyance and telepathy are examples of abilities that may be accessed from higher states of consciousness The speaker notes that every living being is in a unique state of consciousness God is the highest state of consciousness, but it is not just one single state Some states of consciousness are "awakened" and allow self-awareness of being God Most people are not in an awakened state, but enlightenment is a state of consciousness that can be temporary or permanent The purpose of the episode is to guide listeners towards higher states of consciousness and to explain why they may not currently have access to certain abilities or experiences The speaker suggests that the ultimate goal is to access omniscience and to be conscious of how one has created their reality and life The speaker encourages listeners to keep an open mind about the possibility of accessing higher states of consciousness and to not give up on their spiritual journey. The speaker is teaching about a subject and is fully immersed in learning and understanding it themselves It is a big responsibility to teach this subject, and it is important to not deceive or lie to the listeners The listeners must also take responsibility and do their own thinking, contemplation, cross-referencing, and practice to ensure they are not misled The speaker recognizes their own limitations and biases, and that they will inevitably make mistakes and have self-deceptions It is important to be aware of and acknowledge the fallibility of all teachers and to critically evaluate what is being taught Spirituality is deeply personal and cannot be outsourced to others; listeners must take responsibility for their own spiritual journey The speaker encourages listeners to be the chief spiritual officer of their own lives and to take charge of their own spirituality.
