This last year I've spent 60 days (cumulative) in silent meditation, and 9 weeks practicing Hatha Kundalini and Pranayama for 6-8 hours a day. Any time off is spent in solitude in nature or if I'm being social it's a test to see how conscious and loving i can stay through it. This has catipulted my baseline consciousness and connection to reality. Plus my mind is basically silent. I'm able to see how I effect the things around me and live in a more conscious way thinking of others above me.  To me this is true spiritual work. When you don't hinge on psychedelics and videos, you create and strengthen your connection to reality deeply because all you have to depend on is your own grit will and grace from God
