Creativity is your default state if you get out of your own way. Yes microdosing might help you in the short term but it is not the solution to your problem. In my experience meditation is more powerful. Now you could experiment microdosing + meditation it is a great combo.

Hey everyone I am planning my first 10day solo retreat later this spring and I wanted to get your insights on how I might go about it, if I am overlooking something and what to expect. Thanks! Here's what I have come up with as of right now:

@Moksha ahahah thank you friend

@PurpleTree never have I ever done that I feel like what I am going for is gonna be easier than that. Cause I will be allowed to sing loud!

@Moksha I already answered that one Of course I don't do it for money. It is way too deep of a pursuit to be fueled by anything but love. I love it enough to be doing it full time that's the thing. I still need to eat?

@Barbara @allislove It will be my first retreat. That's why I am dividing between meditation and music I feel like 24/7 meditation would be too much. @snowyowl I am actually renting a cabin in the woods not far from where I live(Québec, Canada). Lovely place surrounded by nature @ronda @aurum @Gesundheit Thank you guys I'll make sure to update this thread with insights!

Do you?

Meditation + Psychedelics + anything that works

I ve noticed this lately. I actually can't find the boundary between my ego's righteousness and other egos reaction of what I say. Sometimes I say something that I think is fairly reasonable to say for exemple I point out how language interpretation is relative and there's no way that two people are going to interpret a statement the same way and then I am surprised to see that people lash out at me. Then I wonder:"wow how come this is such a big deal?" Next thought:"Am I actually deluded and the statement:'language is relative' is actually false and they are right?" Then self righteousness comes up and I am like:"they must be lashing out at me because I am threatening some kind of belief of theirs." But how do I know that? How do I differentiate between my own self righteousness and arrogance from collective ego backlash? Feels like they are one and the same.

Ahahah you got me Thanks for the feedback

That's mainly why I started that thread. How can I tell when I said something ugly vs when people over react? My thought is:"It is fine as long as I am not attached to changing their position in any way" I don't see a problem with people lashing out at me either aside from the thought:"It must be hard for them I don't want them to feel bad about what I just said." It could definitely be the case. I often assume that it's no big deal when two people don't believe the same stuff. I'll remember that it's my bias? Great points. I like the idea of having loving intent. I feel like I can gauge self-righteousness with that. To me self-righteousness feels like 'proving something'. Self-righteousness might not be the best term for what I am feeling though I'll contemplate about that.

@Mu_ good question I don't know. I guess discussing self-righteousness was the point.

Part of me is like:"well fuck it it's all relative I don't care to prove anything anyway I am just gonna say anything I feel like" Other part of me feels compassion towards the other and knows how hard it is to have your worldview challenged and don't want to induce that in other people. Ahahah mind is so messy it's grotesque

It is not important if you care about feeling numb and dead on a daily basis. If you care about being alive then it's great.

Come up with one that's fun

Anything is art to at least a somebody

Might not be 100% legal. Not sure about that tho.

Have you listened to Leo's video on self-love? Excpeting love from other people is a sure way to loose yourself

No way ahahah that's awesome

Grasp relativity and you won't feel like imposing your views on other people. Unless they ask for your limited and biased opinion just be. There's also nothing wrong with sharing your thoughts with other people. The thing that you want to say cannot be said tho it is your very being. Just be maybe. You can speak their language as long as you are grounded in being. The vibe is way more useful than your clumsy dialect. They call it compassion I believe. People also don't give a damn about what you say. Even if they ask your for advice they are going to listen and do exactly what you didn't say. Even you yourself don't do what you preach ;)

aren't all songs about enlightenment? :')

Will you ever create content with other people to broaden your reach and show us a little bit of how a conscious being handles social interaction? ?

Very interesting thread. Kudos y'all!

@AudibleLocket Jazz is transcendance for sure

That's what I was going to say. It's worth every penny in my opinion
