Yes well said, when you actually start to hang out with these so called successful people you realise they are just as miserable as the so called average joe.

Agreed

Ok I admit that is, even top UFC guys wouldn't do that, even Wim hoff or Elliot hulse

@themovement Insane way of thinking, if you want to suffer continue with this mindset.

Don't waste your time with it you are right with your first response, its total toxic garbage. No good can come of it really

I would just focus on doing the work and not spending time worrying over debating this. Its fun to talk about with friends but don't let it distract you from doing the work. The people I know who have the deepest awakening don't really talk to much about it unless prodded.

Look into Jhana meditation, that can actually surpass MDMA. You probably wont be able to be on an MDMA high all the time. Also a very clean lifestyle with lots of METTA (loving kindness) practice can defo made you feel similar. Ultimately tho you will find your main goal is just to awaken as deeply as you can. MDMA is an amazing insight into love for sure. Its a shame its damaging to the body.

How many 5emo trips would you say it took before you overcame the fear of death?

I have a ten day Vipassana retreat booked for Wednesday but a few tough life situations have come up and I am not in the best place mentally. I have done a lot of retreats before so there are not new to me but I know if I go would be very very challenge with the current mindset I am in. Is it a risky to go as they are quite intense and wait until I feel better? or could I get a lot of growth going in there feeling in the dumps? Thanks

Thank you, I decided to leave it and do the next available one in 3 months, sometimes you have to much going on that needs to be sorted first. In theory I can use these ten days wisely. Thank you for your input

Yes, its unfortunate

@SageModeAustin When I was younger I was very shy and was terrible with women. I then luckily found self improvement and how you can improve your dating life. I started to make small improvements but I realised to really get this area of my life sorted I had to put a lot more effort in so I moved to the biggest city in my country and went out pretty much everyday talking to different women until I felt the puzzle was completely solved. It did take a bit of time before I started to get where I wanted to be. During this time RSD was getting very big and the whole dating industry was popular in my city so I ended up living with a well known coach. Eventually I started to coach also just through word of mouth. But as this was happening I started to go through a radical spiritual awakening and lost complete interest with the whole thing and moved on from it. I felt the whole thing was a bit extreme. I do think there is a lack of people offering wholesome healthy advice on how to develop intimate loving relationships. Also now things like red pill,MGTOW, black pill ect seem to really be gaining followers which is not good.

Has any of you managed to overcome your fear of death? I still have quite a strong fear of dying, it has been the catalyst for me really pursuing enlightenment work. I have definitely made some progress but I know full well if my time to go comes up I will find it hard to accept. Have any of you managed to overcome this and how did you do it? Dose 5meo help ?

@Leo Gura I have thought this, I mean all I have to my past is thoughts, not access to the actual experiences themselves. How do I know they even happened? I don't and can never know apart from through a limited thought of it. The same goes for being born, I have literally no evidence for that, no memories nothing. Its just other people say you were born, my conciousness could of started in my experience say when i was 6 for all I know. No one has a point of entry into existence. We don't have a past do we? all our stories and memories are just an illusion's right?

@jdenina Yes I believe we all do and the end of the story seems to be the most humbling thing a human can go through. I would say I'm pretty certain now death is not the end to life, its impossible but I definitely use to believe it was the end or I just didn't like to even think about it. Meditation defo helps, I have had loads of insights to show me death is just an illusion but they haven't stuck. @Anton_Pierre Great thanks will check it out. @tecladocasio Yep, death of the false self.

Lovely, I have heard the rope/snake analogy before but it really makes sense. I have been heavily on the spiritual path for awhile and have had many insights showing me death is an illiousion but none have stuck perminatley and I know when it comes I will have fear like u say but it's not grounded in any truth it's like an irrational fear of the unknown. I can see how my life is set up unconsciously to avoid death. It's a big leap in progress to make peace with it. Would You say your at some peace with death if it came ?

All we know of the past is through our thoughts, how do we know our past is even real if the only thing that can recall it is a thought? Dose anyone know if this has been spoken about before by other teachers? I guess if two people go through the same experience you could say they then both remember it through similar thoughts, but how do we know they don't just share the same thoughts and the event never actually happened? Mind fuck

Yes I can imagine, shame Ralston would of been perfect. My friend offered Rupert spira NN dmt but he also refused.

It would be interesting to get a zen mastery of 40 plus years of practice to take 5meo 20 times and see what he says, maybe then we would get our answer? Maybe Shinzen young as he is looking at finding a faster way to awakening. Tho I'm not sure he's as deeply awake as someone like sadguru

Interesting indeed, would u say that about life as well

When using 5meo dose insights last even after the trip then ? I suppose the advantage of doing it through pratice is you would be able to access these insanely deep places whenever you want rarther than have to take 5meo Dmt. I guess the awesner is to do both

Have u actually any real life evidence of this happening on a large scale in your own expirence? Like with all your friends and family. There are bad people generally, regardless of gender, but there are amazing people also, again regardless of gender. It's up to you it you want MGTOW to exist or not inside your reality. Adopting MGTOW will not bring you any closer to truth or happiness so it ends there really.

Amazing, thanks for sharing

God there really is some toxic stuff on this part of the forum. I use to be a dating coach back in the day and have lots of real life experience in this area so I am happy to give any advice if anyone wants it. The first thing I would like to address is stay well clear on anything to do with MGTOW, red pill, incel, mens rights, why marriage sucks ect. I can tell you all of these so called ideology's just do not match up to real life experience, if you actually get off your ass and go out and meet 1000s of different people you realise there are so so many diverse types of people out there you can't really put anything or anyone into a box. There are amazing people out there who you can have great relationships or marriages with, there are also not so amazing people out there who will hold you back, so you are going to have to become wise to it. But this will take work. Commit to finding peace, constantly learning, growing and all these so called ridiculous problems that half the time don't even exist will be solved. If happiness is what you want you will not find it by identifying with MGTOW, red pill, incel, mens rights. Throw it in the trash lol
