daytrading, it isnt hard. if you dont have much money or experience you can try trading options on robinhood, they have a very user friendly interface. And options allow you to increase your exposure to the underlying stock. if you only have $100 you could either buy $100 worth of shares or you could buy an option and get exposure to $10,000 worth of stock while still only risking your $100. it's kinda too good to be true. best part is, no need to leave the house!

@JohnDoe great info thanks! I can never get TOR to work in china, now i know why

oh im well aware haha. If you havent heard Schmachtenberger on rebel wisdom's latest video about understanding covid 19 it's a clinic on how to assess this situation and putting it in proper perspective. All of these guys are brilliant and are using their minds unbelievably effectively. It's a joy to observe. Listening to them talk can compress years of dot connecting into an hour or two, i love it.

it isnt true though that you need a vpn to download a vpn in China. The absolute fastest and best vpn is shadowsocks on a desktop and shadowrocket on your mobile, somehow theyre the same company by different names or sth. express vpn works well but IME they are susceptible to shutdowns when king Xi comes to town or when the coronavirus started for example.

except for Leo of course

Jamie Wheal is a genius, I've never heard anyone articulate concepts in such a masterful and clear way. He's an example for all of us who follow Leo, applying these things in the world in a very impactful way. He has access to and influence over some of the worlds most powerful people and is seeding culture with high consciousness values. He deserves everyone's attention and support.

My sister has been battling opiate addiction (specifically oxycontin) for the last 2 years following a bad car accident that invovled the replacement of a cervical disc in her neck. She recently had another surgery a few weeks ago related to the car accident after which she was dosed with fentanyl by the doctors. This kicked off a binge on the oxy, which she cannot get more of apparently. She has already experienced terrible withdrawal symptoms and plans on taking Suboxone. I have heard that the withdrawals for suboxone are worse so i suggested she stay on the oxy and try to ween off of that in conjunction with some kind of psychedelic breakthrough to catalyze quitting. I have 18 grams of mushrooms on hand, I hear about it principally for depression and anxiety treatment while ibogaine and 5 meo are more implicated for drug addiction right? She has never taken any classic psychedelics but had a ketamine infusion over the past year that she said wasnt effective for her depression or addiiction. Does anyone have experience with this? Can anyone refer me to a psychedelic psychotherapist perhaps?

she has some and it doesnt seem to be effective. maybe she should up the kratom dose dramatically?

Thanks so much for the input everyone, i'm looking at ibogaine treatment clinics in Mexico, I found one that seems legitimate. 8 days long and $9k idk if that's reasonable but may just be what it costs. Idk if anyone can reccomend one they or someone they know has experience with. A note on suboxone, according to the clinic suboxone is a whole different beast when it comes to withdrawal. Many people never come off of it, they told me on the phone that coming off of suboxone makes coming off of oxy look like "a walk in the park" and that it renders the ibogaine treatment totally ineffective. What sucks is that suboxone may be the only stop gap solution she has because she cant get more oxy on short notice. 100-200 mg of oxy per day. She has kids and something to live for, plus scared shitless of the withdrawals so i think she's motivated.

Language learning actually ties in nicely with the work we are all doing on this forum, cool topic. Ask yourself how you learned a language in the first place. You were so absorptive precisely because of your lack of consciousness as a child. You allowed the sounds to slip in unnoticed into your mind such that you actually believed that the word chair was somehow as real as the chair for example. This process occurs at lightning speed before you could ever notice it was happening. When learning a new language you shouldnt notice your doing it. Basically if you try to use the conscious mind too much you'll pick up the language far slower. Also notice that there were concepts that existed for you prior to gaining language that you then labeled with language. There too are concepts that could only exist for you AFTER gaining language. Making this distinction will help you to stack what youve already learned and deepen your mastery of the language in ways that are impossible via simple translation. It helps to recreate a childlike state to achieve all this, which is marked physiologically by increased neuroplasticity, which can be induced by microdosing psychedelics, using a tdcs machine for the DARPA accelerated learning montage (google it) or the best--- combine your language learning with an activity that activates reward circuits that have a pay off aside from simply grasping the concept. Flirting with someone in your target language will massively increase your language ability.

not really a guru but someone who I think is creating a great synthesis like Leo is Jamie Wheal. Anyone who plans on walking this path and doing this work should entertain Jamie's ideas, he might just save you a lot of time.

the vast majority of Chinese people's beds are very stiff if not straight up hardwood sleeping surfaces. It's crazy. But they tipically have good posture I've found.

nothing better than going to see a certified Rolfing practitioner. Look into myofascial release and Rossimer technique, will change your experience of being in a body.

me too. Leo posted in another EEG topic saying that he doesnt want to go into it because most people wont have access due to expense as well as not having the technical know how to operate one of these systems effectively at home. Neurofeedback is a powerful technology and it would be nice if Leo would let us in on what he has discovered with regard to that This will def be the biggest lever to pull for adhd and neurofeedback will help you to fine tune effective states of consciousness

Seems like every person in China is wearing a mask in public even in areas far away from the epicenter of the outbreak. I live in a gated community here and it is compulsory for every single person who enters to have their temperature taken via a kind of thermometer gun by a person in a white jumpsuit, rather ominous if you ask me. People here are very worried, but ironically the flu kills and infects many more people every year apparently.

There's also something kind of strange loopy about markets but I cant put my finger on it.

Ive recently been educating myself on trading in the markets, trying to integrate and transcend stage orange hehe, for me that looks like speculating in cryptocurrencies because from what I can tell there has never been a better speculative asset class. I'd like to get this stage orange crap over with ASAP. As far as money-making goes though it seems that there is a sort of purity to market speculation in that it is honest about it's devilry, and all participants are admittedly equally devilish and greedy. It is a zero-sum game, if I make money it means that someone else lost it but what else could someone in my lowly position be doing that would allow me to control large amounts of financial capital that wouldnt be worse? I can say definitively that the world will be better off for me having 100's of millions of dollars at my disposal because I would use that money for the highest consciousness purposes that I am capable of, so is it justifiable for me to participate in a zero-sum game? Im curious what peoples moral appraisal of speculating in markets is relative to the other ways of making money. @Etherial Cat It is what i'm into, got any hot tips? what does your portfolio look like?

Ive always rooted for the villain for some reason when i watch movies, not at the expense of everyone else though. I'm sort of rooting for everyone but i cant seem to exclude the villain for some reason. I've always had too much empathy to function properly in this world

Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation. Monero for privacy. Chainlink for speculation. Anyone have opinions?

Is this a hint?

It's so funny how this whole thing is playing out. For example look at China, ironically now utilising blockchain to create a digital yuan. Bitcoin that was originally designed to evade government control, will now be used to enforce much more government control than ever before. It would effectively shut off access points to the only anonymous remittance tool in existence (cash)... at some point all governments will adopt digital capital after which people will no longer have access to cash at all. Most of their economy is done in cash settlements and untraceable. THe government there is licking their chops about having this newfound level of control. This is where privacy coins and cryptocurrencies come in, they will effectively replace cash and if you dont think there will be huge volumes of capital flowing into cryptocurrencies youre kidding yourself. I think it would be nice to see some high consciousness people come into large sums of money. Conscious people having more influence in society would be a very good thing.

I was doing some contemplation about bitcoin and came to the conclusion that most of the people who would have become very rich as a result of bitcoin's run up must have been criminals engaging in darknet market illegal activities or criminal organizations accepting bitcoins back in the early days. Money generally makes people more of what they already are, turning up the volume on their underlying pathologies in many ways. So i wonder what the consequences are of large injections of capital resources into criminal organizations or criminal individuals. Who are these people and how have their lives changed after gaining control of potentiallly $100's of millions? thoughts? is it a net gain for a free and open society or mostly a negative the way many governments like to portray it?

does this contradict non-duality for you in some way?

enlightenment is the process of dissolving the ego, ergo, ego is the very thing that makes enlightenment possible at all. probably why god creates division in the first place. on my last shroom trip with my eyes closed, I witnessed clear as day literal mandelbrot fractals much like @nowimhere's profile photo. Leo has said that the visuals on psychedelics are mostly a distraction but something tells me there is osmething very deep there relating to the mechanisms of division and duality

Gotta love him and his masterful communication style. He is one of Ken WIlber's prodigy's, a great example of someone taking action in the world based on many of the principles we talk about here on this forum. Some other thinkers to check out if you like Jamie Wheal are Daniel Schmachtenberger and Jordan Hall. These guys are head and shoulders above the vast majority of people out there. you can also get weekly emails from Jamie Wheal if you go to https://www.flowgenomeproject.com/
