Yep, already moved houses. I've got unfinished business to end first(finishing/exiting a startup I made) which would be unfair to my cofounder if I left now, once that's out of the way, off to find a cave

Nope - I'm an engineer earning over 200K a year without a college degree. Not needed. But the path I took is not for the faint of heart, you need to put your heart and soul into your profession, and rely on God's grace to get you through.

I was literally just looking at this 2 hours ago! Because I want a way of growing 5 meo dmt at home like shrooms. I think this fungi is a long shot - however, you should research using MAOIs with psilocybin.

I don't know, there are highly effective techniques out there like kriya yoga, and wim hof method, and whenever I try and do them I feel very little to no results. And I do them very rigorously and with a lot of seriousness for long periods of time. I've got a fear of missing out, because I see people having so much results with those techniques and I just can't seem to get any. However, during meditation for me its very easy to feel love and bliss, and during contemplation you can inquire into infinity quite easily. Sometimes I think I'm missing out by limiting myself to just meditation, but other times just doing meditation feels more right and in sync with my intuition, and it feels like I don't need other methods because meditation is already working well and I just need to do more of it, even if I've been using the same one for the past 2 years lol. Maybe psychedelics will help with this? Tell me what techniques I should practice and whether my fears of missing out/limiting what I practice are warranted And based on what you've said above, I feel like actually my neurotransmitters are upgraded on average, yet my baseline is very low on average. Because inquiring into mystical states is quite easy(like infinity) yet there is lots of neurotic stuff in this state of consciousness. Although this doesn't really make sense because I've only meditated and not taken psychedelics before. But to be honest, I don't really care about calmness of mind or peace or whatever, I just care about omnipresence and knowing what the fuck is going on. Although calmness of mind is usually a prerequisite to omnipresence.

@Leo Gura Alright yeah so an avid psychedelic user will know many things about the universe, things which a meditator for 40 years wont know, deep things, but will have chunks of ego in tact, not as calm mind, less focus, etc. Of course that's relative to the person, for some, meditation will do lots and wim hof will do no neuroplasticity, and for others wim hof will do lots and meditation will do nothing.

What do you mean by that? You mean the ego's layers shed permanently, is that way rewires brain means? Do you mean consciousness itself slowly looses its rigidity? (like the keyboard and mouse turns from a solid, to a hologram)? Is that what rewires your brain means? So you're saying rewiring = consciousness changes form? You must be talking about something else, because all of that stuff happens in contemplation, and I could only imagine if you did contemplation during a psychedelic state, it would supercharge the contemplation, a bit like how kriya yoga's spiritual state supercharges contemplation. In my experience, its not kriya yoga which changes your consciousness. Its the contemplation done during a kriya yoga state. Kriya yoga is just the doorway. If you continue to do kriya yoga without contemplation or letting go of the kriya yoga techniques, then you'll get no where, maybe just get better at getting into that state (for sitting or contemplation). Alan Watts quote of (paraphrasing) "hang up the phone once you've got the message" applies to kriya yoga. Stop doing the techniques once you're in the right state. Then in that state its contemplation or still sitting time. I would assume psychedelics would be a bit like kriya yoga where it gets you into the right state to go hardcore in contemplation, and that would increase your baseline more than contemplating in a non psychedelic/kriya state. My current understanding is, psychedelics are a easier form of kriya yoga. Instead of doing all those poses and breath work, you just take the psychedelic. But that's my fantasy. I'm yet to try them. I'm just hoping I went through spore syringes and getting a glove box and flow hood not all for nothing haha.

riight, that distinction isn't awfully clear to me tbh. During meditation I find I take back wisdom, lessons, purification. Probably because my meditation is largely contemplation and inquiry oriented. I would assume if you have embodied more wisdom, that's increasing baseline consciousness.

Yeah, so what did you mean by you can take things back from psychedelic trips in your what are psychedelics video? That's not related to increasing baseline? And do you know anything about the effects of increasing baseline with microdosing? Could microdosing over prolonged periods of time help with increasing baseline? Last question is, what value is there in psychedelics if it does not increase the baseline? Isn't anything not permanent not valuable? Taking things away from a trip (like a message from the Gods or knowledge in how you should heal to me is permanent because those messages persist after the trip).

Well that's exactly what I did (and the people I posted a link to) did and we are all going well. Finding other things is part of working with the abstract passion.

You can have interests in other things, but focus and being a specialist means having 1 passion. Sure you can have hobbies and passions in other things and be a bit of a renaissance man, but to truly get results, you need to focus heavily on 1 thing only. I think you said this in your LP you're contradicting your earlier work now lol. That's a bit of a weird statement to make.

That takes work, and faith and a lot of balls and courage to do things other people will think you're crazy or schizophrenic for doing. Its very hard but very rewarding. Here's an example. Here's another Not its not too abstract, you're just too afraid and scared to live by what you want, rather than what society has conditioned you to do. If you were Ghandi's father, you would have said "revolutionising India is too abstract and risky, you're better off trying to be a professor son".

I never said not to follow your passions, just not to try and manufacture a passion that doesn't exist, because that's not how passions work. With a passion of being or accessing total omnipresence, knowing, consciousness, then after enlightenment, you will fucken stare in awe at how that wood is being created, where it comes from, how it works, and how it fits into the big picture. That in itself is enough to leave you in pure love and joy. But if you must keep taking the game seriously to be happy, then do whatever you want, make a book about how that wood actually works, create scientific studies of it using your telepathic omnipresence and knowing of what it is. Revolutionise science - even if that means being the crazy crack pot that no one listens to. I'm sure the right people will listen. Keep being more and more omnipresent of the world forever. I don't know sounds amazing. Much more amazing than 'cultivating other passions' fuck that, that aint worth it.

fucken damn it! Not again.

I'm actually after the opposite. I don't care about peace and even detachment from thoughts that much, or reducing suffering or even healing, or even feeling good/bliss. What I'm after is infinite intelligence and omnipresence. Knowing what reality is. Although the things above are usually needed for omnipresence. @Leo Gura do you find that psychedelics help maintain permanent states of omnipresence and infinite intelligence/knowing? Or you still need meditation and yoga for that?

What's so bad about worse, really?

In other words, I would challenge you to cultivate other distractions @WhatAWondefulWorld I'm the same, I only care about being conscious of reality - that's why I became a scientist/engineer. If I were you, I would start a meditation/contemplation habit ASAP if not already done, start deeply questioning reality to the levels you are passionate about. Follow your bliss. There's no joy like being real intimate with reality. If you're passionate about reality and understanding, then that's what you're passionate about. No faking other passions is gonna make your life happier. You're not going to thrive and enjoy other things if they don't make you happy, you will just feel like you're wasting your time and are living a depressed life. Don't worry about survival for now, just focus heavily on your passion, survival will come once you've got that sorted - that's what happened with me.

@Leo Gura Its not mental masturbation its contemplation. And it works for some people so be a little more compassionate.

Maybe its because I'm as imaginary and as much of an idea as you are, and everyone else is. Maybe that's the missing link. Maybe we are all philosophical zombies, including me. Edit: That was a ridiculously dangerous hypothesis in hindsight. oohhhhh. Yes you're an idea, you're not experiencing anything, you're just an idea, and that makes total sense because so am I. hahahahha ohhhhhh yeah I'm not the body or mind. That's right hahahahaha. ohhhh ohhhh ohhhh ok hahahahahaha You only think others have an ego if you have an ego. If you don't, then so don't others. There's the answer to my burning question fucken caught it bitch woop woop.

@Leo Gura Just to triple check I got the map right. I'm God Imagining that you(Leo) are a spiritual teacher who made actualized.org to help the world. I'm imagining that you're having spiritual experiences, and doing retreats and all this stuff. I'm imagining that I'm 1 out of 100s on here who are trying to enlighten, and I'm imagining that there are other people trying to enlighten. But in reality, that's all completely made up, and what you actually are, is God/Me, talking to Me, trying to wake Me up, and that whole story of you being a teacher living in las vegas doing pickup, teaching all these people is just there as 'padding', as a way of making God's message more believable to the ego? And all these other people on here, is just padding? An elaborate story designed to coax the little me into discovering God? If its truly the fucken case, that there's just one ego, why am I just one person out of 100s on here? What makes me the solopsis one, and not the others? Why is the story deeply elaborate. Its very very realistic. It really really does seem that I'm just 1 ego out of 100s on here. I'm aware that we are all one, but it seems more to me that every perspective is valid/exists, but ultimately we are all the absolute. Like lets assume my perspective is the only one existing right now, look at your convo with Waken, that seems super super convincing that my perspective isn't the only one here right now. If my perspective is the only perspective that exists, then why are you arguing with others? Wouldn't you only do that if their perspective exists too(Rupert Spira's video deeply resonates with my current understanding) Why is my perspective the one that exists? Instead of others?

@Waken I think he's saying the only POV that exists is yours.

Yep that's exactly what's happening. There is no future dreaming or reincarnation, all dreaming is now. God is not future dreaming, because future is NOW the future is directly accessible NOW. That's why some people can predict the future, because the future 'is stored in the present moment' so to speak. In the depths of the universal mind. So is all dreaming. Form changing literally = Formlessness. Changing is identical to formlessness (I.E. no changing, eternal stillness. ). Form is just an appearance, and the idea that it changes is an appearance too. If there wasn't, you would be able to observe evidence that changing is real, but when inquiring, its just not there. Only in appearance its there.

of course he doesn't. He doesn't have needs.

I'll give you a nobel prize when you can prove an absolute difference between black and white, square and rectangle, horse and car. Your eyes are distinguishing consciousness from consciousness, in the name of 'change'.

@Leo Gura contemplate what change is, and find evidence of its existence. It seems like it changes, yet the boundary between 1 particular form and another is indistinguishable.

But is it? Form changes, but that change = formlessness. No matter what it changes to, it boils down to the same thing: form. So ultimately does it change? Anyway nevermind, gotta find a way to get my hands on the golden teachers, much better method of channelling the answer. awesome point that's right
