Have the featured mega-threads in a more, pull up, type of organized way. Maybe at least have them pinned somewhere. Its suxs when some of the mega-threads sink in the dark and people forget they are there. Btw I do not like the up-vote stuff... just as I didn't like the reputation system. Its just more unnecessary ego. Its great that the kinds of features were removed from this type of forum. I am sure even the avatars were on the line, but it probably was going too far.

This guy in the timestamp explains it all

Your dream in a reverse time You can alter the stream of all light For above any form of attraction And beyond every motion Lies yourself What a catharstic ending...

@Megan Alecia Enjoy!

Would love to see him front a progressive christian metal band.

This is basically what you are looking for. @AtheisticNonduality There is way more to it than this ofc. Would be great to see another, more in depth video with touches of politics, culture, collective shadows ect, that's for sure The episodes on fear are also quite relevant, or any episodes that cover ego-work. Remember the shadow is the butt of your ego, anytime you talk about ego, you talk about a shadow. Its simply the "negative" (*-1) of your identity. Personally what I have found to be a good method that prevents creation of shadows is to approach everything you encounter in a way that when you process it, you end up with a paradox. You see why the thing that is represented in the way it is to you, is true, see why is it extremely false, hit it from many perspectives early on. In a way its applying radical open mindedness + radical skepticism + many added other neutral perspectives that are not even concerned with the issue at hand, see it from that angle. What you did there suxs for the ego and is something it finds very hard to make an identity out of. It cant plug it into its matrix and grow, because its a paradox. The ego likes things to be straight and certain. I also have something that is almost a rule : Before you get the right to disagree on something, you need to earn it by completely agreeing with what has been stated to you. Everyone speaks their truth, no matter how different and twisted it may seem, you need to see the way it is before you can have any opinion on it. This ofc also prevents shadow creation and works in sync with what I said previously.

Me neither, I just have seen this discouragement of exploration happening too many times all over the web. Anyway, its probably a small minority on both sides that creates a huge amount of noise about it. So it appears to us that all conservatives and all progressives are a certain way, when in fact there is far greater diversity within groups than between groups. I wasn't talking about transgender people mate. I was talking about regular folk, some that may be suffering from other issues, lets say issues of psychological, cultural, societal, hormonal nature, or other gender related conditions. Some might like to just imagine stuff... and feel good in it. Its surely a nuanced question and should be probably treated as such. That was my point. My obvious advice would be to do serious and dedicated exploration, see what you get. Stay away from culture or popular opinions.

I imagine myself being a woman at times, a bird, a rat, a bug, a worm, a slug, a whale, Mariana trench fish, a sparrow, a bee, a planet. It feels good There is nothing weird, nor wrong with imagining you are something and feeling right in a new imagined form. But if you think you are on to something and this is something more than natural imagination. Than I would only advice doing a lot of diverse research and soul-search, stay neutral, explore. There are a lot of sneaky ways culture likes to get you into doing things. This is something only you can know, or discover. A great start would be to see certified people that deal with these kinds of issues, for eg a therapist.

If you want to use it for self improvement I'd guess its best to do it with a dedicated purpose, you know what you are looking for, dive in, you find what you need there, extract that stuff and get out. I've found very useful stuff there that was almost impossible to find elsewhere . Also an amazing perk it has is the responsiveness , if you got a question for absolutely anything, you can get an answer in 5-10 mins max. You don't get that on many places. But If you use it every day just to check up on things. swipe that app for some new "educational" stuff I don't imagine it will be productive and serve self improvement. You'll end up procrastinating a lot. Those are my 8 cents.

I do have a question. I am not sure if it could go here. But I'll give it a shot. Btw great post man How do you guys work with sexual energy, or do you have any books, or resources on it. The main reason I am asking is because when I do semen retention the energy buildup can become so great that in 10 days there will be an extremely strong sexual component in it, it feels like a mix of masculine and feminine energy jumping in all directions wanting to explode and its almost as if its taking possession over me, it gets difficult to keep the mind grounded with an urge that powerful. At least that's how its for me, I never learned to get across that.

I used to, good stuff . But I tend to avoid it these days because of its addictive nature, its just to stimulating and can be overwhelming for me. But in periods when I do research, I always go there. mostly forums, reddit and discord servers. Highways of info.

Here is a tip. When you orgasm there will be a kind of psychedelic state, its almost as if your focus is probably 70% in your imagination, it becomes dreamy and imaginary, you may see some fantasies or images, there is loss of spacial awareness, loss of time and maybe 30% of the focus is on the body, contracting and shivering, at least for me, now that's all automatic and it kind of takes over your consciousness. It appears that you do not have control while doing it and it just happens and we all habitually let it do its thing. You just want to come, that's all. But if you observe what is happening, you will notice that you are also spatially expanding, as if you are expanding in omni-directional way, literally into the 3D physical space around, its like becoming alive and aware in the space around you, or feeling aware and alive in it, its tangibly about a meter or so and continuing on towards some abstract, non-spatial point, almost as if you are losing the track of the spatial direction and it feels like its not continuing in "space" anymore. Anyway that is not important in this case. What I do is just mentally grab this expanding feeling that is happening in the first meter or so and by sheer force of will, drag it back as close to me as possible. It will feel quite weird, as if a cat, or an ox is trying to run away very aggressively but you are holding its slipping tail with your bare hands, so your focus will go back and forth. It requires strong mental focus to grip it because you are also losing yourself in this dreamlike state at the same time. Its an experiment, idk what are the long term implications of this.

It looks like my higher-self is looking at my ego. The higher self being in the mirror. Its an old and primordial being bathing in knowing and being, its very simple, full of understanding, its not human, it does not need to say anything, giving a mental thumbs up. Visually I look exactly the same + heavy 8k HD vision, except for the warping, drifting, glares and all that morphing stuff. I've done it on 150us and on 250ug. In both cases its been very encouraging. In both cases very pure and strong acid. But where there is a mirror, there is a toilet shell. And damn that toilet experience is so difficult on acid, its almost as if half of my body is missing while the other half gets glued with the toilet shell by the pee bridge.... forming a "human-pee steram-toalet" shell eternal and timeless being.

Didn't know where to post this, so I'll make a separate thread. Though it would be interesting and inspirational. Me might need a mega thread for sacred geometries, fractals ect... found across all levels of existence. Here are a couple of inspirational space ones.

When I orgasm I can notice an expansive omnidirectional energetic flare bursting from me. So sometimes when I ejaculate, I focus on the expansive feeling that happens and reverse it, push it backwards towards the body as it does. Instead of wasted I end up way more energized and laughing like crazy, at least temporary. I assume having a vitalization ready to focus on it while orgasming will do the trick. That would be awkward and cringe... you know orgasming and thinking about a job.... but worth a try I guess

Yo guys. Got few things on mind. It would be great to hear your opinions on it. I've educated myself quite a bit on nutrition in the last 5 years or so, read quite a few books, read quite a few studies. So overall, I know what is going on and what nutrients are needed, what is damaging, in what way and in which amounts. I am surely no expert, but I have a moderate grasp on it. The thing that has tortured me recently is that the realization that... all these studies, books, videos, podcast.... pro vegan, pro carnivore, pro wheat.... you name it, are actually backed and heavily biased by the given industries. Its a war and not a pursuit of truth. Some of the facts are probably twisted and some framed in contexts that approve of whatever their thing is. Right now I feel like I am back to basics. Like all I learned was almost for nothing. And what I intend to do right now is to just eat the most nutritious local and seasonal food in its recognizable form, fresh, or somewhat cooked. See how it feels, see how my energy, focus, consciousness levels are. How do you guys navigate this ? Do you have any solid resources, or hints that can help with it.

Hey guys, thanks for replying and all your thoughts y'all. Thanks man, I've already experienced the bad and draining effect of wheat products, so I am not eating that stuff anymore... I've also noticed that fasting is great, it keeps my body light and my consciousness clean, I am doing intermittent fasting atm and eating mostly plain fermented yogurt + fruit smoothies. I am slowly adding stuff to see how it feels. Regarding carbs, eating fruit feels right for now, no bad effects, but wheat, seeds and starchy vegetables do not seem to work good so I'd be avoiding those. Did you mean to refer to your you-tube channel, is that yours, the one in the description ? I do not hang out much around here. Yea I did some of those, I've read all of Lyle McDonalds books for eg. They were very scientific, but still, when I see for that all the protein tests were done by just drinking 30g of powder on empty stomach and waiting to see what happens, it just seems very isolationist for me, we do not seem to eat that way Still it is probably the closest one can get to objective data. Do you have any such books on mind, or a link you can refer to. Cool, thanks for the books man. I actually have those. Just need to put some time aside and study them. Post of how it all goes when you got smt I've seen that raw, non-pasteurized milk is way easier on the stomach and it feels almost like water, fermented milk like yogurt, or kefir too, so I am keeping those, Just not sure about the whole cheese part, nor raw meat. I'll be looking more into organ meat too. I am in the "test everything" mood right now. Oh I didn't know these tests could be done commercially and used for nutrition. Did you send them saliva in a bottle or smt ? Right now the only measure I am doing is plain body feel. Eat smt, see if I feel light, good and energized, if the body likes it and proceed accordingly. Might be a good idea to add the kinds of measures you suggested in the future, or just go to the doctor and run some tests from time to time just to make sure I don't break something while testing. Healthcare is cheap here, at least that's good @datamonster @PurpleTree I haven't even heard of the concept before. I'll take a good look at it. Btw, when saying 95% plant based. What do you guys eat to meet your caloric intake. I felt that starchy nightshades work bad on my stomach, wheat too, well fruit might be good, no bad effect with most of it. All the other plant based foods I can think of are mostly fiber. So I wonder how does that work for you guys ? ?

Yes and the horse part is a symbol for stamina, the wings for endless pleasure. It is known.

Just a graph, just a meme.

Idk why do some of you guys think this is some sort of conspiracy theory. Google has been blunt about this. Here are couple of videos, there were also some interviews couple of years ago, but cant seem to find them. Some google quotes at around min 3. What is going on is hard to interpret. But judging from the things I have researched and heard directly coming from their own mouths I can kind of.... conclude that: Well yea, the results are obviously biased. Biased in couple of ways: First being the capitalist way: -It is showing you firstly the most relevant adds and not the most relevant search results. This has been happening almost from the start, its baked in their business model. This is made worse by the personalized ad results you get, results driven by the data that was mined from you. This is obvious now in 2020, but in 2012, this would have been a conspiracy theory. Second one being the progressive way: - This has been happening in the last 5-7 years lets say, in this period they started to have bias against bias, probably for many reasons. I think this is what we are talking about here, commonly critiqued as "the left leaning bias". The thing is, if you are trying to get the most relevant results, the most unbiased search results are going to reflect the biased situations in the world, so what you see is bias, but is not the search algorithms fault, its the way things in the world are, its not rocket science. If you google construction worker, or brick layer, CEO or a truck driver, you are probably going to get over 90% males. Now as I understand it, they are trying to fix this and see it as a racial bias, homophobia ect... build into the algorithm, in a way they are trying to reduce this self-made machine learning bias, the result of those actions being biasing the results with left leaning biases. This might come from the expectancy of that if the algorithm is unbiased it will show equal distribution of all group lets says, or the bare attempt to stop perpetuating existing biases, no clue, probably both. The way I see it is that they are at an uncomfortable crossroads between stage orange and stage green. Both rubbing at each other... stage orange trying to both exploit and conform to some policies and at the same time the green part of them is fighting both the orange part and its own unsolvable paradox of trying to merge the philosophical opposites of diversity and equity, not realizing that it cant. There are ofc a lot of technical issues in the mix that most of us are unaware of. Like blink recognition for Asians, or sampling skin tone for black people. It surely makes a situation that is difficult to interpret. Now I did few search tests again now, it does not seem to be as bad as it was 1-3 years ago. These are my 2 cents.

I was "quite" conservative about 7-8 years ago and right now I got few close people around me that are conservative. Here are a few observations: - There is no lack of empathy, empathy is just focused on the in-group, whatever it is (Christian, Black, White, American, Muslim). -There is an expansive and almost mystical/surreal and nostalgic feeling about the land and its people. -My job is to take care and love my people, your job is to take care and love yours. -Maintaining the cohesiveness of your culture is a noble thing to do. (no questioning, no changes, no race mixing, no religious interpretations, it has to be the way it is) -Deviation = Treason - Obedience, discipline, ritualistic behavior. - Control of emotions vs mastery of emotions. - Honor, integrity and respect for elders. - There is still no distinction between the actual world and the thought world. If I see it that way, it is that way. - If close, or blended with stage Orange, can have respect for the difference of opinion. But will do it the sense of: I do not want my beliefs changed, nor challenged, they will remain as they are, I will respect yours and will not attempt to change them, because I don't want you to try change mine. -Beliefs are a key feature. Having beliefs makes you a worthy person. -Certainty is a strength. Uncertainty is weakness. -Beliefs and certainty go strictly hand in hand. It approaches beliefs in a locking way. -Strong emphasis on culture driven morals. -There is utility in dogma. -Change.... is bad. If there is any, it will be done trough change of others and not us/me. -Questioning your own beliefs is seen as weakness and self-sabotage. The point is to maintain what you have. -There are limits and borders between everything. The few gray areas, the better. You need to reach a point of certainty. -This "produced" certainty leads to extremely easy and quick decision making. -Tendency for binary thinking, its 1 or 0. You cant have anything in between.

This is one of the reasons I never liked the vegan ethical argument. It felt like untamed compassion. But still, I never took the time to see if the data is right on this. So its just a hunch.
