...I just can't choose between which benefit is my favorite, I'd have to say the perpetual bliss! NO! Being literally immortal! NO!! Id have to go with... understanding everything in existence. Those are my fave maybe hehe. I like the "being literally immortal" one... wouldn't you say @LfcCharlie4 ?

Just force yourself to mate. Work with your mind and body. You can be flexible with your rigidness. For example you may be rigid enough to say "I'm going to practice for an hour and a half today, but it has to be at 10am." But then when you procrastinate and miss the 10am start time, you should be flexible enough to say "oh it's ok, we'll not, not practice let's just move it to 11am" or even "well as long as I start before 5pm, when I start to get tired." Use your mind and body's momentum against them. There's different strategies you can use

You automatically bypass all fear and become a ruthless motherfucker by focusing on awakening haha

V cool, I've been getting insane dreams lately

I have a feeling nothingness creating distinctions is like this :

I'm pretty sure Jesus and Mohammed are different reflections of yourself. Jesus the man who came to earth, fully man, fully God, got killed (enlightened) then rose again (life post awakening) then ascended to the father and ruled with him from heaven. I don't know much about Islam but god told me that they are all different sides of the same dice, like the different colours and shades that refract out of white light when traveling through glass...the colours, though different are all like different facets of the plainwhite light.

On the topic of retreats and meditating for multiple hours at a time, it beckons one to become creative with prolonging their ability to literally sit and not move for as long as possible. If you've ever tried this it'll immediately become clear to you that the legs start to become extremely painful in this feat. I'm now beginning to explore the area of walking meditation and splitting up my "long-sits" with 15 mins walking meditation every 45 mins. This has been the only thing so far to enable me to continue without severe pain. I'm looking to find any suggestions about how to avoid/slow down/remove this phenomena. Perhaps any technical tips regarding posture, sitting style, pillow type etc. ? Since this could be the difference between being able to do SDS's that last 2 hours and SDS's that last 7 hours...I see it as a valuable resource. How long have your longest SDS's been? Do you use intervalad walking meditation (zazen) during retreats? How long can you yourself endure the pain?

@Leo Gura do you use kundalini exercises?

@Javfly33 @John Doe thank you

@Javfly33 @John Doe thank you

Is Kundalini yoga really good? What practices in particular are the most powerful?@Javfly33

Yes, eternal life, perpetual bliss, super knowledge and divine wisdom. Also man, don't worry about understanding too much. Get a basic conceptual frame for how this stuff works for a kind of "loose guidance" but then forget it after...your job is to do the practices. It's like if you studied how to fall in love in an imaginary college for 20 years but then one day you see this lovely chick and all of your learning goes out the window and you float towards her and all you feel is the feeling, and you talk to her and boom it is effortless. Doing something with your head is different than doing something with your heart. What I've said before; the most important part of spiritual concepts is abandoning them in the much greater light of actual realization.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Believe nothing Leo says. Believe nobody here. Do not believe anything. Do the practices and be real. Hold what Leo says as a hypothesis to be proven or disproven

@Javfly33 when meditating for like 11 hours a day, do you not find that you need to do back stretches? I've found that the legs are not the main problem. My legs get painful after about an hour and a half of meditation without movement, in my regular sits I do kriya yoga (still the mind) then an extra round of Maha mudra before half an hour of self enquiry to reset the legs pain clock. I'm going to get good at smoking 5meo (going to have to smoke 35-40 mg for breakthrough) and get good at meditating consistently during a retreat. 5meo is just so fucken expensive, and I can't plug it so I need to take a shitton of it to get the same results as someone who can plug. I'm gonna try to plug dpt, and gonna try to get some cheap darknet vendors from abroad. Germany and neatherlands will be much cheaper.

Yo wtf, im having to smoke 40mg to try to breakthrough on 5meo. Anyone else have mad high tolerance?

@IAmTheHolySpirit waw, your really spiritual. Thank you ♥️ what practices do you use to get you to this point of realisation? How long do you practise a day?

Soooo, did my three day retreat. Didn't go too bad. Little extra text here but not too long ♥️ Held the retreat in my bedroom, only left to shower and shit lol. Made food and juice for three days. Plan was to sit for 3 hours at a time, rotating through Kriya Yoga, self enquiry and do nothing. Did from Monday morning to Wednesday 9:30 pm. Quickly found out that my legs wernt the problem, my back was. I thought, "holy shit there's no way in hell I'm gonna be able to literally sit in the same position all day" so I alternated one hour meditation technique, one hour back stretches and sitting silently on a chair. And did that every hour, cycling through the techniques. At some point I decided to make my cycle Kriya yoga, Concentration, Self enquiry. Did a 20mg 5meo trip at 9pm first night, felt kinda weird...quite hard to say what happened, my bed sheets felt like they started crawling up on me haha. I did another 20mg hit soon after, not bad. Second day did the same meditation cycles smoked a big ass bowl of 3 generous servings of 10mg (30mg 5meo). Instantly started to see the barrier between reality and imagination fade but it was so fast. Id compare it to sticking your head out a car window at 200mph in a sandstorm for 5 minutes hahahah. I looked at my table and it was dancing about SOOOOO MAD lol. I was able to concentrate on it a bit. Then final day my back was quite sore, but stretches helped. Concentration was getting good, started feeling parts of my past heal. Messages coming from God to me and knowledge. I cried a bit here and there, I have a new found value for my family and friends ♥️ same meditation cycles, did 2, 20/25mg 5meo trips (smoked) something really weird happened here. It was nearly like I could control it. I smoked 20mg and felt absolutely nothing.......then another 20mg and boom super sensitivity. Then I did another 25mg hit later the last day. All in all, I didn't meet God but I know I've grown. I don't know what it is, or how the fuck I'm gonna discover it...but I know for sure I've grown. I feel...good. I feel matured. I am kinda upset about the fact that I cannot plug 5meo, I have a feeling that trip would be so beautiful man...damn. I'd also be lying if I said I wasn't confused more but that doesn't matter, I'll keeping hitting it harder and harder until it breaks. The 5meo smoked is just so fast there was one point when I smoked 25mg and the sensitivity was amazing, I left my body. Really something. So a few points and questions. I started hearing the sound of a rattlesnake lots for the full three days nearly in fact. I heard it when I contemplated deeply and remember the coiled serpent in the spine holding me to this Earth and also the snake in garden of Eden. It felt, deeper, than just my imagination. Anyone have any similar experiences? At this point my main signs of progress are subtle. Like maturing in my character, strengthened will power and discipline/focus. I was very VERY focused when I was questioning the what it means for something to "be real" at the end. Other results. When I look at something now, it's like I can see more...like in a slightly higher definition. And I'm much more aware ?? I have this weird thing now where my presence disarms everyone. And I'm aware of it. Kinda sounds strange but...yeah. also starting to just barely grasp that, unless I hold something as a belief, is it not real. I have a question @Leo Gura do you alternate between meditation and not meditating? I couldn't do SDS's because of my back pain. (Conclusive summary: happy with my 3 day 5meo retreat. The 7 day one will be even better ♥️ gonna aim for 15 days. I'm also not discouraged about my confusion at all...I will never stop ever ever ever until I have made significant progress to full enlightenment.) The image of 5meo I've included was the one when I did 3 generous scoops of 10mg. That was powerful. Mad colours and things floating in the air. My table was dancing like mad

@Leo Gura how long is a dpt trip smoked leo?

Haha that's actually what I plan to do lol. I'll probably be sitting in infinite realms of tangible bliss, and just roll myself a fat blunt with some purple kush ? a wee joint here and there is no harm if you are aware enough

I was so surprised how wrong I was about weed. Now that I'm a bit more aware I see it everywhere. All of my friends, every time they smoke. I see it EVERYWHERE. It is BAD for your mental health when smoking every week. It causes an imbalance in your dopamine levels when smoked regularly. This dramatically affects mood, iritability, self esteem, motivation, etc. Notice how people don't usually smoke weed once or twice a month...usually someone who "smokes grass" smokes once or twice a week, and a lot of the time once or twice a day. More notably, regular use of this substance can amplify mental health disorders, like psychotic disorders etc. It is also extremely common to experience conaiderably increased paranoia, anxiety and general depression. I remember I couldn't get out of bed because of how bad I was at one point. My family have a little bit of a past with substance use and I'm trying to shake it. My solution? Use shrooms or lsd instead.

@Preetom I'm 22 lol, I look young. My face doesn't match my mind I think haha By the way everyone...I think forgot to mention, when I was doing my concentration, the bottle cap I was staring at kept disappearing and colours started to turn black and white...does anyone have any suggestions for concentration? What to use? I was thinking maybe an electric candle...brighter

@Skin-encapsulatedego my number 1 goal is enlightenment, I'll get enlightened and die trying at this point it would take something extremely large and significant to push me off my goal of awakening. If it takes until I'm an old man, so be it, may it happen 5 seconds before i die of old age, I will achieve it. But yes, my life purpose isint clear atm. I feel my heart is to start my own business of sorts... consciousness work is making me more clever and competent. If I had to guess I would say that I'll probably be a teacher of some kind, philosophy or truth. I'll have a better idea 3 or 4 years into my path with regular 5meo and dmt retreats. It's the perpetual bliss that just sounds fun lol ?

@Leo Gura there's obvious some reason haha, do you have any recommendations for how to squeeze the juice out of 5meo trips when being forced to smoke it? Seeing as it's a lot shorter

Nah not overwhelming like. And yeah I really did shit everything out right before a 30mg dose plugged and felt absolutely nothing. My fridge was filled with sandwiches

@Dutch guy See the way you know that something is happening to you. I had the same sort of thing. I actually started asking the universe what each year was going to bring me and it typically came true! I might actually read a few books on enlightenment and truth, it's a little bit of a curse it's kind of the only thing I'm interested in...I know for sure that my life purpose is truth oriented. It's been the only thing I've ever been interested in and nothing else interests me other than truth, real truth has SO much power. I might read Martin's book
