Alien chicks be lookin hella thicc when you're weeks into nofap

This is my solo retreat report. I hope it will inspire you to do something like this yourself. Over a month ago I started my 4 week solo retreat. I was quite ready for this. I rented a tiny cabin with no electricity, no water. Spartan conditions, but it was extremely cheap and all I could afford. It was not easy. I quickly found myself in an ocean of suffering and bliss. These two would swap back and forth, varying in intensity and duration. It didn't take me long to realize that the greater the challenge I faced, the more profound the insight at the end and the stronger the bliss following it. This kept me going through the hellish phases. Just a day or two in, I realized that no meditation technique would do. I was not in charge. All I could do was be quiet and watch as life expressed itself through me by spontaneously contemplating the right questions, than inspecting the body, then forgetting all and surrendering completely, then other activities still. I think it was day 3 when the kundalini stuff started to happen. Good thing I heard about all this many times. If I didn't, I'd probably go crazy. In my meditations unspeakable stuff was happening in my body, visions more real than reality would come to mind and I had problems discerning what was true and what was false. Many times my body got so blocked up I thought I would die, only to be forced into an even deeper surrender. Nights were no relief either. Lucid dreams full of trials and challenges awaited me. Alien abductions and meeting gurus, sages and stuff like that. In short, it was a hell of a ride. Fortunately, after about 3 days this subsided. Deep contemplations started to take place uncovering old traumas, unmet desires and such. It was beautiful. On day 14 I had the biggest insight of the retreat. I was contemplating Consciousness itself, when I realized that it is no different from Love. Than I remembered the Hindu concept of Sat-Chit-Ananda (Being-Consciusness-Love), looked closer, and sure enough, this Consciousness-Love was not different from Being either - meaning me. I bathed in this unbounded state for a couple of hours looking over a beautiful pond nearby. I came to the conclusion that I was done here, after 2 week out of 4. It has been 16 days since I came home now. A lot has changed, and nothing at all. I am clearer than ever about what I want, need and value. My life has a much deeper sense of purpose and authenticity. My contemplation skill just sky rocketed. I realized what contemplation is, and it is such a joy to do it even hours a day, as I now know that I can go all the way to the truth of anything I want to know. And since I believe, I make it happen. I have had issues with eating for a long time, even though my diet was good. A lot of shame and guilt always plagued this arena of my life. After a particularly bad meal on the retreat and a deep introspection afterwards, I asked desperately - "How the fuck do I solve this?". And the answer came - "Just ask.". I realized the ability to ask about any food and I will get an answer from inside - it tells me if I should or shouldn't eat. Quickly I realized this works for any question with yes and no. I can ask about anything and know if it is 'yes' or 'no', but it's not always easy to ask and follow the answer. This often takes balls and and losing a fat piece of ego is common here. Soooo... go do it. Spend time alone. Forget it all. Immerse yourself in yourself. You won't believe how much bullshit you are buying into. Thank you Leo, you were one of the ones who inspired me to do this!

Preface: This was the first proper trip after my last one which was preceeded by a panic attack and subsequent ego death. I was not entirely sure if I was ready for another round however I felt really good this morning and decided to go in again. The Come Up: Just like last trip the body panicked upon intake of the tea. However this time I was able to stay completely calm. The heart and stomach were beating, yet the mind was calm and clear. And after a couple of minutes the body panic stopped and the trip started. The trip: After the heart beat returned to normal there was a simple sentence that came to me: "Remember, the Darkness is the Light". And as it turned out this should be theme of the trip. The Darkness The trip started of dark. Really dark. Mushrooms can be like that. Someone once wrote here that it's kinda like being dropped of on a random planet. Pretty accurate I would say. Well this planet was at war. I had a vision of someone being tortured. Me being the one leading the interrogation and the one taking the pain. I had vision of a couple young boys having a fight and beating the living shit out of each other. I had a vision of an Asian genocide happening before my eyes. Lastly I had a vision of some violent alien race pillaging the galaxy... led by some sort of hive mind. Note, I include this to be accurate. I don't know if there is any truth to that whatsoever. Yet it kinda felt like a warning. The Shadow After all that darkness I decided to take a little break. Once I came back from taking a piss I lied back down and the darkness revealed itself as the shadow. The male shadow to be exact. The male shadow is anger. And, very interestingly the female shadow is deception. I have not studied shadow work yet, however this is my direct experience. Both energies seemed to be wounded deeply and I had visions of both being acted out by people I know. Then I was also shown how to be a man. Being a man entails dealing with that shadow and shining a light on it (note that everyone has both male and female energy). And very interestingly it includes homosexuality. I have one gay friend however I noticed that I have a bit of a resistance towards being gay. That resistance was surrendered. This side of me which was resistant was able to be re-integrated. I still like women last time I checked but I feel more whole as man. The Light After all of that the Light came. I still had some violent visions however this time it was different. There was a light shining through. There was a particular scene I remember. The light merged with the darkness becoming pure light setting the scene in stone. I remembered that all that darkness is Love. It is light. It is Goodness. Love (with a capital "L") includes all of it. It is it. It is the darkness and the shadow. That is what pure Love entails. And why all the darkness? Out of Love. The Voice I still wanted to break through to God and tried to surrendered further. Then, for the first time I was able to see existence as a projection. It's a hologram. It has no substance. What we call life is a projection onto the screen of consciousness. The body is a thought and has no absolute essence. The mind is illusory and has no absolute essence. My birth is a story. I am a story. What I call "me" is a character in a game called life. It has no essence. What is left then? Isness. Pure self aware Isness. Why is there a voice inside of my head? Most of the breakthroughs I had were kind of narrated by the voice in my head (until the event horizon was passed so to speak). This time I could see how the voice lost itself. It still narrated but it lost itself in a sort of echo chamber of God. It too had no essence of itself. I, as God was talking to myself. There were no bells, whistles of ecstasy this time. It also wasn't a complete breakthrough. More of merging in and out of Nonduality. That's it. Short and sweet. Most important (for me at least) was to be able to face the fear and jump into the deep end again. There is still work to do. Don't know when I will trip again though. Have a good one! Much love

You can though enter deep state of delusion that will push forward your belief into distorsion of what 'is' Your mind create synchronicities and all sorts of 2.0 delusion. Kundalini is the Time where you'll get the more open to building spiritual bs ego. Only fucking reality is your hand. If you see a ghost or Channel an alien. Slap your face harder. I think kundalini is psychosis born from a deep fear created by delusion. Body go fight or flight and most insane things. But that's good you are purged from your first delusion Implanted by society. But the thing is. Society is based on Magic thinking. Most people keep having ghosts and don't see any hands. The whole society is an halloween show Paranormal is created by an ultimate bullshitting on yourself. ( Fucking your belief system basicly ) Your mind will distort reality based on your own delusion/expectation. That's just you never know how powerful it is when bs is cleansed. So when you see the power of the mind, the human ego start believing all sort of New stories worst than the first narrative of society. ( Spiritual ego ) But clean your door of perception. Society is basicly a delusion aswell.

At the end of the day, the reality you live is what it is. Gaining understanding of it changes the dynamics between "you", your identity, your wants and needs. This understanding affects your "whys" and allows you to strive for things for the "better" reasons, let's just say "for the hell of it" or "because you can" rather than because you have to in order to achieve happiness. With said understanding you can find the happiness you are looking for right where you are, it is right here and right now. It is just a matter of learning to see in a new way. Once you do that your desires, want and needs have changed. They do no longer own you but that does not mean you cannot own them. The world is your playground and you can do whatever you want. If you still want to fill your illusion of existence with something particular, you can. It is not likely to be a materialistic drive or hunger for power, those things start seeming alien to you. That does not mean you have to feel "meaningless" and go live and meditate in a cave or something lile that. It is interesting to see how many people are scared to "let go", fear of losing something kicks in. But what if all you loose is your limitations? They will not be missed.

The more and more i go on the more i realize what others say are mind fantasies. Including leo. If you study all those teachers you will get nothing out of it, only waste of time. The only way to go is to work on it Yourself. And the funny thing is, you can do the practices and you can have a very different awakening. For example, you might get the insight that the universe got created by an alien and you can communicate with him. He can tell you every secret and you can become his best friend, but how does this prove that it is true? What about those other teachings? What are they? You can have a very unique strange insight that nobody here on earth has, and you can be convinced that since you are the only one knowing it, you must have the truth (Like Leo does). If everybody can have it's own awakening, does all of this work make no sense? But more interestingly, does this not prove that maybe there is nothing beyond nothingness and we all the meaning we give to certain experiences, are just, like somebody else pointed out, ego trips? The idea that nothingness=Love or god is aware of himself can be false. You can have the same awakening and realize that nothingness=Alien can't you? It's just the ego interpreting it in a different way when it comes back. Good luck finding the truth.

All progression is not good why it should be ? Should we progress from living walking to living sitting ? Progression is a delusion. Things change. That's the only reality. When we are all gay and peaceful. Alien will rape us to the death. That's a metaphor but it point to 'perfect' 'better' as arbitrary. It can only look better from a perspective. I got my idea on progression in society from Aldous Huxley - the divine within Progression is just the movement of universe. That's not aiming toward an utilitarism helping the overall society. This is a delusion but it doesn't maximize anything. But sure as an I.. Certain politic seams to work better for me. Relative position for me. What feed me.

Yes that too. And once it was an alien takeover. When I realize it's a dream i think "what am i running from? Turn around and face them head on. One dream was of a huge evil sea creature that came onto the beach. i was running away from it when i realized it was a dream. So I manifested a sword and turned him into chum.

My inner work and self reflection has led me to a place where I wanted to confront my subconcious. I wanted to see myself from another perspective and look into my being from the outside, beyond my own personal bias and ego. I had meditated for a while on this which led me to think about taking psychedelics. I booked a trip to Amsterdam in Europe and me and my friend both took 20 grams of Dolphins delight truffles in the hotel room (Both begginers) The come up was something I had never experienced before. I suddenly burst out laughing, losing control of my actions and thoughts unable to look at my friend without laughter. I then suddenly felt myself jolted into a new frequency and reality. My world became like an oil painting as I was teleported into another dimension. The first thing I saw was the patterns on the carpet changing colours and moving. The structure of the pattern looked like an alien dancing infront of me. I then looked at the TV and could see the female on the screen now appearing 3D and reaching out to me. I was then given one of my first spiritual insights of the day. I began looking at everything in the world which seemed to embody the essence of my father. The TV, the bed, the windows, my face, even the concept of time and space seemed to somehow represent my father. I visualised my genetic father in everything. I began to understand that I am an extention of him in the anchestrial ladder of existence. His experience is embodied in my experience. I realised that I cannot help but view the world through the lens of what my father taught me since I was a younger child. We learn a lot as children and some of our deepest held beliefs and mental indexes/belief fragments can come from these times that become some of our strongest inner convictions. Am I just a reflection of my father? Is this a bad or a good thing? I began to relax and just experience. The psilocybin began to attack my identity. Suddenly depressive thoughts raced to my awareness. ''You are taking psychedelics in a hotel room with a male friend and you are a loser'' I couldn't shake off this negative mindset the shrooms were showing me. Time itself began to collapse and I was in a four dimensional bubble looking through time from the outside. I saw time as a series of changes like the seasons. With each season that came up completely changed my mood. I felt happy one moment and then sad the next. I could hear a bell outside which would strike every 3 minutes or so and everytime it struck it changed my awareness and mood. My friend felt the exact same thing. The happy season was fun and interesting but the cold season came on abruptly and made my world cold and unbalanced. My friend was pacing up and down the room which started to annoy me. I turned to my friend and yelled at him to stop pacing (he paced around the room for 2 hours asking if I am okay) I then tried to get away from the world and hid under the bed covers. I looked up and didn't feel disconnected from the world at all and came back to the surface. I then tried to let all emotions run through me and just be and experience. At this moment the shrooms began messing with me and threw me out of the trip. It was the strangest thing because I felt like I hadn't taken any. Suddenly I was thrown back into the trip and my 'just be'' philosophy was forgotton as the naughty mushroom I thought I was possessed by was messing with my ability to control the trip. The next phase became a bit more scary. I began to panic as I thought I had overdosed. I started hearing paramedics outside my hotel room which sounded like they were trying to get in. I ran to the door and opened it and no one was there. I then started searching on my phone about magic truffles and I saw a big red screen which i imagined said ''We are the paramedics trying to get to you'' - I seemed to think there was an ambulance inside my phone trying to get to me. I ran into the bathroom and envisioned repeatidly smashing my face into the sink. I could feel the blood gushing down my face and see my teeth smashed as I stared into the mirror. I then could hear my friends thoughts. He said things like ''Help, he just tried to kill himself'' - at this point I knew I had taken too many magic truffles. My friend was having an extremely bad time as well as both of us were convinced we were about to die. Then my reality seemed to break down into three as I found it difficult to trust these realities. The first reality was simply the magic truffles had taken a hold of us, the second was my friend was trying to kill me and the third was we had overdosed and needed urgent medical assistance. Suddenly 2 hours went by and I cannot remember much of it. My friend told me I tried to eat a mars bar to save myself from the trip but It had been unsuccessful. The day suddenly went dark and I had no recollection of what happened. Slowly, after about 6 hours my friend started to come out of the trip. He tried to get me to remember who I was and picked up fragments of why we were there. I tried to follow him and it only slowly started to come back as I was stitching my reality back together again. As I was coming out of the trip and could feel more coherent I began babbling some spiritual insights that seemed to not come from me ''I am the centre of the universe that powers it. Nothing exists outside of me. ''I am eternity and nothing at all'' ''I truly exist inbetween thoughts'' ''I am everything that I don't have'' At this point I started to come out of the trip suddenly. My friend broke down in tears as I just realised I had the most profound experience. My friend swore to never do psychedelics again as I realised that my journey had just begun. As a conclusion to anyone wondering I never hurt myself on the sink and I had just visualised it but it never happened. My goals now are to get even deeper into my own spirituality, psychology, philosophies and experimentation of psychedelics and experiences. Even though I had a bad trip, it did not feel like a bad trip? I just see it as 'it just is' rather than trying to apply a label to it. Everything is beneficial which expands experience and self-awareness.

It won't take hundreds of hours, maybe even 10 minutes. Just think about everything as if you are that particular thing. You are definitely every atom in every grain of sand on the earth and every other planet in the known universe. Imagine being every individual one, not aware of the others, or even being all at once. Imagine how your life would be different, what opinions you would have if you were born into a different person on the other side of the world, how about the other side of your city? Or even what if you were born into the body of a sibling? Or both of your parents? Every person on the planet, even the murderers, the more fortunate, the less fortunate, the slaves, the slave owners? Look at things from the perspective of a human trafficker, from the victim, from the perpetrator. But don't stop there, you could think about being every different species of animal there is, every alien species we haven't even discovered. That is one of the fastest ways to gain perspective in my opinion. Good luck friend.

I don’t think the issue is not being able to understand it. If a normie visited a website for calculus professors, they won’t understand any of the calculus. There is no problem. . . The problem occurs when there is a misunderstanding. If a normie visits a calculus website and interprets the math to mean that an alien is stalking him, then that would be a problem. A couple examples of misunderstandings on the forum that cause people problems: You create all of reality is misunderstood as solipsism. . . . There is no objective meaning is misunderstood as nihilism. I would say that an adult would have much higher chance of misunderstanding problems than a child, because the adult as more filters through which misunderstanding would occur. For example, if we teach a child about nonduality and that we are all interconnected and One, it would not be traumatic to the child. Yet if we teach this to an adult, it can trigger a traumatic existential crisis since the adult has been highly conditioned into a self construct. They will be very threatened by nonduality because they want to protect their sense of self. I would go one step further and say it’s actually beneficial to teach children about nonduality before they become fully conditioned into duality, separation and contraction into a personal self. This conditioning creates the suffering and trauma. As well, the de-conditioning can cause discomfort. Yet through it comes liberation and love. If children learn about nonduality before dualistic conditioning, it would be beneficial. This will be part of education in the future. As the average conscious level of society increases, parents that are self-actualized will naturally teach their children about constructs of self and nonduality. This will lead to healthier people and healthier societies.

Never start with a hike, you can do that after the peak. LSD is just too demanding for that. I prefer solo. With others I am too absorbed caring about their wellbeing. Oh and poo-poo before. Caring content in intestines makes you feel like an actor from the Alien movie.

Two weeks back i had one of the most profund mushroom trip. (I am having a mush trip every month and this was my 5th). It was fresh mush and method was limetek. It took close to 20 min to come up body load was high i stood near the window and was looking outside and trees pattern started to change so i went and sat in bed in meditation position. first thing that came to my mind was everything i am doing was for getting more care. I started to vomit(not literarily, body movements was like that).I couldnt sit straight and fell down on bed and a alien like thing came inserted somekind of tube on head, it said like it is taking away toxins from my body. Visuals changed suddenly there was nothing and then i was falling into some deep hole visuals was like i being a paper falling down for infinity. My legs where moving uncontrollably, it was flapping. I dont know whether or not leo's video on reality impacted me someway coz everything he said in it i got a glimpse of like Everything is a story of mind, parents and all are imagined by me. And in between i had a fear what if i die now? I soon realized my ego is holding me down so i let go of fear and was open to die. When i let go of fear it took me to insight like you are always alive, there is no one outside of you, oness with everything and leo, sadguru and everyone is my own creation. Slowly trip was coming down it took 4hrs and i slowly moved from bed and stood straight and walked near to window and looked outside at trees. At that moment the real mindfuck happened, i couldn't tell the whole thing that happened on bed was real or not. Was all the things that i saw and felt, imagined as i was standing near the window at beginning of trip. It was a profound trip. But there are some question that came to my mind after watching dangers of spiritual work I am sure ego death happend, but why isnt my ego acting neagtively after the trip? Its cool, and thinks things i experienced will make me grow in other areas of life (money, relationship etc) it is thinking like so there is no one expect you so you could do and be whatever the fuck you like. (I was nihilistic throughout my teenage, finding no meaning in anything, now its different) While my legs where moving uncontrollably and was flapping an insight came like how much pain you are putting on yourself by desperately seeking sex. I think my energies are trapped in lower 3 chakras and i need to set my priorities straight and enjoy lower needs and slowly move forward, instead of rushing the process. If it so should i stop my psychedelic once every month plan?

Breaking the Karmic Cycle Sadhguru looks at the repetitive nature of the karmic cycle, and the three ways to approach the spiritual process. Sadhguru looks at the repetitive nature of the karmic cycle, and the three ways to approach the spiritual process. Sadhguru: The karmic structure in every human being is essentially cyclical. This cycle is not from lifetime to lifetime alone. If you are observant enough, you will see that events generally repeat themselves in cycles of twelve-and-a-quarter to twelve-and-a-half years. If you observe much more closely, you will see that even within a year’s time, these same patterns are happening many times over. If you observe very, very closely, the same cycles are happening many times over even within a day. The karmic cycle actually takes force every 40 minutes. These 40-minute cycles are called galige in Kannada. So every 40 minutes, you have an opportunity to break it. It is very important to see this. If you see that your life is just a repetitive foolish cycle, that you are doing the same cycle over and over again every 40 minutes, you would realize in two days that the way it is going is no good. If you only see the cycles once in 12 years, it will take 24 to 48 years for you to realize this is no good. And if you see the cycles once in a lifetime, it will take a few lifetimes to see this is no good. It depends on how conscious you are. The more conscious you become, the more you see living in an unconscious cycle is no good. So, every 40 minutes, you have an opportunity to become conscious of it and to break the cycle. You want to break your present walls and go away. 3 Ways to Approach The Spiritual Process There are three ways to approach the spiritual process. One way is, slowly, by doing the right things through a few lifetimes, you will get there. Another way is, you remain in your present circumstances, do the best you can do, keep yourself open and focused and make yourself available to the process. In the last moment of your life, we will see that it happens. Another way is, you want to know something now. You want to break your limitations now and go beyond its limitations. Then you should not be concerned about what is happening around you because many things will happen that no one will approve of. Society will not approve, people will not approve, your family will not approve since they related to you because you were one kind of person. If you become another kind, they will not be able to relate to you anymore. This is a simple thing you can do: team up with someone that you don’t like. Spend time with that person, very lovingly, joyfully. A lot of things will break. Let us say you got married to someone. They married you because you were a certain kind of person. If you become another kind, maybe it is a beautiful kind but still a different kind, you are suddenly an alien to them. They cannot live with you unless they have the wisdom and sense to see you as a great possibility, that “My partner has gone ahead. It is wonderful to have somebody who is ahead of me.” If that much sense is there, fine, but if that much sense comes, then the relationship has to transform itself. It can no longer be what it was. It has to become something else. Once you recognize that someone is way ahead of you, that relationship cannot be husband and wife, mother and son, this and that. It will become something else. So, in some way, whatever you used to value will be broken – either physically broken, or you will live in the same space but still it will change. How many people in the world are ready for that? So, the other two options are better for a lot of people: you do the right things, be available to your Guru, and when the last moment comes, he will take care of it. Or, you are not even willing to be available but you are willing to do a few little things. Practice some kind of nourishment for yourself so that somewhere in the future, something will happen. I do not wish that for you. Either you must break your limitations now or it must happen at least at the moment of death. I am not a patient person. I practiced impatience for lifetimes. People generally see me as an extremely patient person because my acceptance is seen as patience, but I am not. I want everything on fast-forward. I don’t like anything moving slowly. There is no mountain standing between you and the ultimate. There is nothing else but yourself – just your own mental structure. If you have to break that, we have to do something in reverse. This is a simple thing you can do: team up with someone that you don’t like. Spend time with that person, very lovingly, joyfully. A lot of things will break. But you always team up with someone that you like – that is not good for you. If you choose something that you like, it strengthens your personality. Learn to do things that you don’t like, be with people that you don’t like, and still live your life sensibly, lovingly, joyfully. Everything will break. Editor’s Note: Sadhguru delves deeper into the spiritual process and the role of

Ok try this thought experiment. Really dig into what you believe is "real" and really dig into what you believe is "illusion" and why. Then ask yourself under what guidelines or definitions what makes them that way and if thats actually true, or just true based upon your own beliefs. Write it down. And maybe share. Like is a apple "real"? Well is it? It can be held, seen, tasted, thought about, smelled and so on, but does that make it something called "real"? Most humans would agree its real, but some may not, or an alien may not, or other dimensional beings, so does that mean it is or isnt? Theres surely "something" there or called or believed to be "apple", right? Also, "Apple" is 80% water, parital protien, partial carbohydrate and yet we don't call it that, even though its just as much all that, and its also electrons and photons and neutrons and its that as well, but we don't call "apple" that generally... So is "apple" a word, various degree's of perspective dependent on magnification level, all of them (including perspectives and experiences we can't even imagine)? Also is "Apple" sensation, and touch and smell, taste and thoughts that arise in relation to it since they are connected to the "Apple" experience.... Which part of these "Apple" descriptions is the real one, or is there even a "real" one, or are they all "real".....? And what makes something illusion? Say a belief that life is bad. Well, you can't touch it, smell, it taste, hold it, but it is "seen", can be pointed to in some degree in experience, but most people would say its not "real", but imagination or just thought. Its felt and experienced. And that can be considered a definition by some to be considered "real". But to others again like before, there might be disagreance to this definition. So again, what defines something? Real, unreal, illusion, Absolute....... Don't get to confused or distraught though, lifes still happening despite being unable to pinpoint an answer that is absolute to the above questions...

@cetus56 thanks just watched it, i resonate with it, i've been feeling various insights before their uploaded by leo's, it's strange how this was once again one of them, although the detail and common sense displayed is really well done, it's a good share, however their's various videos where i just don't feel like watching or i can tell i may not resonate with it and i accept that to be so, i let it all unfold naturally, yet i still hold a lot of fear at night ;x I'm honored, thanks leo for taking the time to add more detail into the awareness about the dangers of it @fridjonk I have read a trip about some silent mushroom trip, which keeps me uneasy about tripping in the dark, even the ibogaine done at the dark wasn't pleasant for me, the visions were too annoying and unstable, i'm familiar with tripping in the dark with my mind it just isn't pleasant yet i don't have enough trips to justify that, but i'll stay clean for now since i feel like there is no reason to rush on psychs, infact i just threw away 45g of mushrooms just a month or 2 ago i can't remember Quote: anonymous pm I had: "I underwent an experience very similar to the one you're describing in that post. I was about 19 or 20 and I ate 8 grams of dried mushrooms and sat in a dark, empty, silent room for 12 hours. Went into quite the head-hole, became convinced in the objective truth of solipsism and came to believe that everything in the world was mere puppetry I'd created for myself, that all love and relationships were fake, that everything was fake, and that life was fundamentally pure suffering. You might note the truths hidden in and woven through the lies there. It was quite a trap and thoroughly fucked me up. I didn't sleep for about 96 hours, couldn't function, could barely eat - my human experience felt so alien and wrong and so jarringly unfamiliar and uncomfortable to me. Everything about "having a body" was incredibly unsettling and I couldn't rest or shake it. It took me 9 months before I was able to even smoke weed or have a beer without immediately, suddenly tripping balls again, and even now, years and years later, I can only consume a fraction of any hallucinogen that I used to (marijuana included) before getting extremely powerful effects. It's very likely permanently impacted my life. That said - that discomfort, inability to sleep, etc - did, indeed, go away. You have introduced some very powerful, new, unsettling patterns into your perceptual space - but it's extremely unlikely that they're so powerful as to outweigh the combined strength of all of the patterns you've built up in your life to this point, and perhaps lifetimes before. In other words, if you focus on going about daily life as best you can and re-immersing in the mundane, "physical" human experience, all of those patterns will soon re-emerge and these new, uncomfortable ones will submit. I can't tell you how long it will be, and I don't have any particular recipe for resolving it, but I feel confident in telling you that this is impermanent. If it gets to the point that you find yourself acting drastically irrationally, violently, or self-destructively, it's worth pursuing medical help. Don't let yourself get to the point where you're going to commit suicide without giving good ol' Western medicine a chance to have a crack at ya. But I think it's a very, very low chance this will be necessary. I think all you're likely to need is a little more time. But there will be echoes of this that will last quite a while, more likely than not. If your experience proves to be as akin to mine as it seems, some of them will bring about positive insights and wisdom, and some of them will be inconvenient or painful. But you'll be fine. Trust yourself. You made all of this. You didn't sabotage yourself. Give it time."

It's very hard to explain it. Such consciousness is totally outside of your ability to imagine. It's even hard for me to imagine it when I'm not in the peak of it. There exist states of consciousness so alien and radical that you might as well have died and become another being in another universe.

@Nahm We can know what our desires are. We just can’t choose them, because all choice is governed initially by desire (doesn’t matter if it’s conscious or unconscious). This would include any hypothetical choice of desire. If you were going to choose your desires, first comes the desire to have that specific desire. It doesn’t matter whether these desires are unconscious or consciously known, and most desire seems to be unconscious at face value. @Synchronicity True free will, the way libertarians (the philosophical school, not political ideology) generally pose it to people, would require a will alien to us (as beings influenced by undeniable causes outside of our conscious control). This will would not even necessarily appear to us to be our own will... we would be acting against our desires for no reason. Even this description is hypothetical, because free will is a nonstarter that doesn’t actually exist, hence why there are numerous definitions of free will. It’s hard to define something that is not a real part of our experience and does not exist.

your interpretation of a thing is one in infinite possibility. even if you point to the essence of a thing. ( in a relative contextual experience, we can both be aware of the essence of the experience of a thing, but this isn't "the thing" ) there is not a single metaphysical representation of a thing. and if you do art, you'll see that there is not "eyes" here and "nose" there, but billions way of seeing them, I would even say, infinite, but maybe not, it just describe the potential of the interpretation. if the experiencer, experience a thing in his mind / aka a thought, this is a thought, an interpretation, not the only single metaphysical possibility of an object. to see an eye on a character you need to delimit where eyes start and stop, it looks from a lower consciousness perspective that things are only "one possibility" but with enough knowledge those barriers seams confusing and pointless. in reality there is no eyes, everything is alien in this world, but we give, meaning, value, and description to things that in the absolute have no shapes ,no forms and no limit. for skeptical, there is ALDOUS HUXLEY, He wrote about enlightment ( the divin within ) and "the door of perception" ( better suited for psychedelic experiencer ) I find those books good for scientifical rational mind, cause Aldous was not a mystic, he started to become one at the end of his life. One of the best way is imagine what an alien discover if he comes to earth and never experienced anything of earth. he would not be aware of all the relative distinction.

Alien reads this and be like: "Hold my beer."

@daramantus The room is a part of reality. Your retort is equivalent to me saying, “the whole number line is infinite,” and you coming back with, “but it isn’t. The number 3 is finite.” You cited a part as evidence to take down my argument for the whole. To that you may reasonably object with, “If reality is infinite, then there’s infinite energy and so, your room must contain an infinite amount of energy. Yet it doesn’t.” That objection is a common one that scientists use. It’s based on a misunderstanding of what an infinite reality would be like. An infinite reality wouldn’t be uniform or the same everywhere because that would impose a limit. For reality to be truly limitless, anything and everything (including finite things) must exist within it. To that, you might bring up another common objection that people use, “so if anything and everything exists, does that mean that an alien who destroys all universes exists? If so, why aren’t we dead?” This proposition completely bypasses what an infinite reality would entail. Yes, there’d be some alien (infinitely many) who go around destroying universes. Except, they’ll never get to all of them. Why? Because there’s infinitely many. No matter how many they destroy, there’ll always be more to destroy. Maybe we’re just in one of the universes that remains undestroyed

I don't even know if that's true. How many times does an dragonfly sleep? There are currently 925,000 species of insects on the planet, and only 20% of insect species have been identified. So be careful with your assumptions. The Earth is an alien place with many aliens living under every rock.

This topic will also include "why brains don't exist" hypothesis and his new video. First of all. This will be my observations based on my truth and the things which seems obvious to me, and can't be discarded, as Leo Gura observe things with his own mind and perception, he is also prone to erros, like any normal person. In what is reality video and now in his new video he claims reality to be an illusion, like a dream, which I have nothing against this view (excluding the "hallucination" part, which i don't think applies or to be a good analogy for anything regards reality, since hallucination is a term invented by humans, when tripping on drugs we hallucinate things, only we can observe our hallucinations, however, this is not like our dreams, our dreams are close to 'reality', so we can use the 'dream' analogy better, and dreams are not synonymous for hallucination. Now, the thing which gets me the most, is when he talks about God, yes, I get that he has this view that all of reality could be thought as God's mind and dream. But I'm sorry to point out this, but the moment he says God's will is different than ours, then there are two in the game, we and God and this is true from our relative POV, we are not one with God now, if we were there would be no point in making any video to make us one with God nor to make us contact God, how could us contact God if we were one with God already that would be no point at all. Now, look, my point in this post is to criticize something he's been saying which I found to be completely misunderstood by people, when he says "you imagine your childhood" or the way your parents are" or "aliens", I guess he mean when you really are imagining your childhood, but like he said in the new video, you don't know how your childhood really were, or how you were born, you imagine your birth because others told you it was x and y. But don't get me wrong, this is also me speaking the absolute truth, OF COURSE you were born and you imagine things later about how your birth was, your imagination was also developed through the years so is your childhood and you growing up, your childhood is never like you imagine, but it did happen in a certain way. Or else why did Leo say "when you werw born you start learning things", well you can only learn things that are external to you, and absorbed internally, period, so there was a knowledge prior to when you were born , now, were these also other parts and other minds that came from God? Well, according to his theory, yes, but then it's only a theory after all. Now, when he says, well "it's imaginary " or the alien is a projection of a mind. HE ME UST BE SAYING OF GOD'S MIND, NOT OURS. A person who born blind and deaf won't have the capacity to imagine anything in their life, nor to visualize their parents, yet their parents exist without the deaf blind doing anything with its (and no matter how much LSD it takes, the deep layers this person goes,it won't imagine anything). So what we di ackniwledge here? Me, my parents, Leo Gura, etc we are individuals being created by the mind of God, not our minds. This is a deep truth validated here. So when a person asks Leo, "hey are x and y imaginary" ? I guess Leo has to be saying, in the mind of God we are its creation,.it's all Maya at the deepest root of truth, but one consciousness alone isn't doing any of this, so at the relative sense our parents Are Indeed real and external to us. So are the walls in iur house and everyone else even tho, at the deepest sense, we are all interconnected through the mind of God we are one. Our subconscious isn't creating any of this, but the superconsciousness is, and we indeed are somehow separated from it while we are at this form as a soul, and this is ok, no problem with it. Also, I'll point out this, when he says about aliens being "another yourself", I don't think so, I don't think other proplepeople are even the same as ourself, just because we came from th3 same source doesn't mean we are all the same, even identical twins are distinct existences. For you to be talkimg to yourself, you have to be looking to a mirror and talking to yourself,at the moment you talk to another person, by all means it's not yourself, it can't read your thoughts, it doesn't share your mind nor the things you see or imagine or the thngs you've experienced or the things yiu felt and feel. I go further to say that even if someone made a clone of Leo and his consciousness, those would still be two different separate consciousnessess, when one is talking to the other, one would still be talking to an other, anf the other would have its own consciousness,this is a deep fact,unless they shared their minds into ome vody, but even tho each one would have its own sentience and wouldn't be each other, but each would be themselves.

You don't need to go to some alien planet. Animals on Earth already sleep different amouts at different times of the day. Some animals only wake up at night. Some animals even sleep through the winter. This has nothing to do with what time is per se. Regardless of what time is you can sleep whenever you want.
