@Razard86 I hear you lol

There's a difference I've contemplated for years which is the difference between knowledge and consciousness. I haven't got it yet (even though I actually have got it) but I I know that one aspect of the differentiation between consciousness and knowledge is that consciousness can recognise its lack and requirement to attain knowledge, and can also recognise that it doesn't recognise how to go about attaining the knowledge that it knows it needs to attain [for whatever reason]...and can then take action to go about obtaining the information relating to how to go about obtaining the information that it needs to become knowledgeable. This is a key difference. Consciousness can exist without knowledge and it recognises knowledge or its lack of knowledge and how to get more knowledge. Consciousness is an awareness of the mind itself it's systematic structure. Increasing this consciousness can subsequently be highly advantageous because you can literally conquer any task whatsoever if you combine it with adequate will, determination and focus. With consciousness it doesn't matter if you know the answer to your problem...what matter is that you know that you don't know the answer and you know that [for whatever reason] you can indeed take action to move towards knowing the answer. And if the question you seek to answer begs a further question that must first be answered, and if that question begs a further question that must be answered (etc.) it doesn't matter, if you have sufficient will and determination you will learn how to learn the answer to the question that leads you to the answer of the next question that leads you to the answer of the next question that leads you to the answer to the next question that leads you to the ultimate goal you have set out. It's a matter of having an awareness that you are a system. And so: consciousness > knowledge...because; consciousness learns how to learn (Consciousness + unlimited will) = exponentially increasing knowledge (IQ)

Experiencing pain creates calluses to other sources of pain in the future

@ShardMare theres also nothing wrong with getting bitches, money and God. I'd be bullshitting you if I denied how I truly feel

@LSD-Rumi when you have a teacher like Leo everyone else is an idiot, it's about recognising that being right isint what it's all about...but that the journey to purity and accuracy is as beautiful at the lower levels as it is at the higher levels. It's like playing a game with a child, it's not about winning...it's about having fun and enjoying the game

@Aleister Crowleyy see I'm conflicted, on one hand they seem to hinder development in some ways. But on the other hand it seems to dramatically increase productivity and stuff. Like psychedelics create more connections in the brain. I'd think that it also highly depends on the person.

Mm I feel u

But yo, yes the hindering aspects are there sometimes but its undeniable they there also seem to be aspects of psychedelics that encourage growth. Like the more conscious you become the more you realise your unhappiness with just lazing around and having no purpose etc.

@UnbornTao I think upon realisations I've had from just the few answers in this thread I am indeed going to be careful with psychs. I definitely feel like I'm still Gona use them but I might not go for proper enlightenment until I'm slightly older. My plan may change, but one thing that will not change is the fact that I know I am destined get enlightened at some point in my journey. I recall Leo saying that there's no need to rush too fast

@jimwell https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/statistics/mental-health-statistics-lgbtiq-people It's pretty well documented that people who suffer with mental disorder and psychological illness tend to move towards LGBTQ+ area. I personally feel like they put the horse before the cart with a lot of these articles though because after they identify the fact that people with mental illness are more likely to be LGBTQ+, they add on [what, to me, looks very assumptive] explanations such a "LGBTQ+ people are statistically more likely to have developed mental illness because of their oppression." And this is probably true to a degree, but cultural science in this day and age doesn't seem very inquisitive about the true causes and what comes first...mental illness or LGBTQ+ tendancies. 100 years ago they were seen as perverts...and it just seems like we draw the line wherever we want. What about incest? I mean love is love. And the age of consent...it's 12 in some countries I'm pretty sure. We here recognise that just because society says something that becomes widely accepted as truth...that means very little concerning what truth actually is. I've no doubt homosexuality and transgenderism has some natural truths to them...but there's a shittone they aren't teaching us about how it's connected in some ways to certain kinds of perversion, drug abuse and mental health disorders. This is also not a popular thing to say so let me just reaffirm that I'm not homophobic or anything and I completely disagree with oppression of any kind on LGBTQ peeps.

I don't know what I'm talking about, I am what I am talking about

@Leo Gura I knew it, I fucking knew it. Yeah. I feel like moving forward in life is like pulling a plow through a field, psyches allow the plow to go deeper, but subsequently it will be harder to pull forward... ...but then again, if the individual has the determination of a bull, the strength he'll develop pulling that plow will be immense. Then I suppose it's just a question of whether or not the individuals values lie in being strong... The power in a 5meo trip can be hard to handle, but I know for a fact that I am one of the strongest motherfuckers there are...and It feels like I'd be insulting god not to use the strength I know I have to use psychedelics

Lol

When your bored instead of letting your mind wonder randomly let your mind fantasise and visualise about a future image of yourself as how you want you want to be in the future. If you can make it a reoccurring habit it can heavily influence your subconscious and you can start attracting it. Also it may not feel like it does anything but every choice you make to think a certain thought or to re-theme or re-orient things in a positive light does have an effect deep in your mind each time

@MrTouchdown don't fkin kill the body mate, don't hurt it if you can help it. Yeah there are different layers of reality l and the only absolute level is that everything is ultimately immortal. But your allowed to acknowledge the human level of reality to. Like yes in the absolute sense your family don't exist, but Leo has talked before about how our realities interject with eachother. Even though that's not actual, you don't have to pretend as though you don't actually understand that your mum would experience really bad hurt if you killed yourself. It may not be absolute, but your also not a complete dumbass, you know that in your mother's absolute reality, she'll go through grevious pain if that happened.

LSD laced condom, you could literally fuck someone so hard they enter another dimension haha

The government really needs to do a better job with sex education in mainstream education. But yo what about all this stuff that there's noticeably increased mental disorders with people who were LGBTQ+

You don't need to worry about having a stance or taking the stance of no stance. Any dedication to anything other than direct experience whatever that is, isn't advantageous for awakening. There's nothing wrong with dogma if you simply prioritise direct experience. You can become dogmatic about not being dogmatic, then you can also become dogmatic about not falling into the trap of becoming dogmatic about not becoming dogmatic. The key is relaxing into direct experience and realising that there is safety with direct experience but also recognising that there is a place for articulated analysis and conceptual understanding in the right formats. Really there's nothing wrong with anything, just always prioritise whatever is proven in direct experience
