@diamondpenguin Try dropshipping instead. I find it to be more of a realistic possibility of working. Most Amazon FBA marketers started off with Shopify dropshipping and Facebook ads, and It requires less capital.

90% of products on Amazon are private-labeled, It will never die.

The trip ended up being more of a recreational one. I really enjoyed it and just relaxed after a tough leg day I had done before. But it was intense nonetheless. I'll be going back in tonight, not with any specific intention but a little more emphasis on going deeper than last night.

Just got some edibles and I'm about to ingest it now. I don't have any specific intention for this trip, I'll just be a passenger along for the ride. I won't be surprised that this will be a powerful and deep trip after my last LSD experience which was not so long ago. Been quite a while since I did edibles last time, but at that time I was ingesting them daily and had become very familiar with them. Edibles are a great tool for this work is what I've come to find out.

Yet it seems like that's not the case. A lot of people are pretending to be beyond it but do not live it.

Sometimes it's good to take a step back. Take a few breaths and reflect on how immensely beautiful it is to exist at all. To stop thinking even for a moment and just feel the awareness that resides within you.

Absolutely love my cacao. Always have it after a workout and a cold shower. I find it to be really good for conscious body relaxing, it makes me able to feel into the muscles more and relax them to a heightened extent. Also, the effect of the theobromine is awesome, feels like caffeine but clean relaxed energy instead of that classical caffeine buzz, feels great for reading and contemplating. I don't have access to the real brick cacao cubes straight from the jungle. But I did find a great local brand that imports good clean powder.

@Forestluv Really resonate with you. Thanks for taking the time for these grand posts of yours.

All relativity is realized to have been unified singular infinite loving whole all along.

DMT LSD

@James123 Whatever floats your boat. The beauty of reality is it's totally relative and perspectival, so what's true for "you" is true for "you". And what's true for "me" is true for "me".

@James123 You'll miss the fullness of awakening if you don't include form. And that is the most beautiful realization of all, it's becomes whole and loving.

Precisely! Yet there are states of consciousness.

From what I've experienced there are many ways in which you can go about healing yourself. One would be realizing you were never a child, all that is a story of the ego-mind. And so you can heal yourself right now at this instant moment. This takes tremendous conscious willpower and you'll have to constantly keep it in mind, and correcting yourself when you go off your desired path towards healing. And the other would be to go back in time, identifying the problems at their core, figure out where and why they arose, and why they stuck around. This is more in alignment with using a system such as Integral Theory or Spiral Dynamics, if you feel like mapping it out, then this would maybe be the preferred method. Or you could take @Nahm 's thought-full approach. You'll have to find what works best for you. And nice seeing you here on the forum again

Where's the line that separates something and nothing? When does something change to nothing? It never does because It's the same thing. No, not at all. You can not learn nor realize Infinite love with a finite mind. Of course Mahasamadhi is now, where else would it be? There is only here and now, and has been so for eternity, but "you", the one which happens to be in your body typing on a computer, could not interact within the illusion if you were not in a "physical" vessel in this gross realm. If you were in a mahasamadhi right now you would not be able to interact with anything or anyone, nor do anything, because you'd be in an absolute state of consciousness unable to stand or move. Agreed, yet we must somehow talk about these things, for the love of expression, the love of sharing. Yet in a lighthearted manner because you can't communicate serious awakenings. As soon as you take yourself seriously, or what you speak of seriously on a forum like this, you've already missed the point. Ken Wilber covers all these points in "The religion of tomorrow" much better than I can. The four inexpressibles cover it well, and The heart sutra: That which is emptiness is not other than form, and vise versa. And neti-neti, not this not that.

I hear you, yet, that no-self can become infinitely self-aware and infinitely self-conscious. Infinite Love would be the "highest" awakening from what I've experienced; it ends with total utter nondual selflessness. There is no more distinction between thought or not in that state, something or nothing, doesn't matter.

Show me the face you had before your parents were born, the face that was present at the cosmic inflation. That face, the same face that's sitting here right now, only illusory changes have taken place, shapeshifting. Yet I've been at the same place this entire time, wherever I go I'm always at the exact same place because I am everything everywhere, and nothing nowhere. This I is nowhere to be found. Nothing but a construct of beliefs and fears. There is no story as to how I came to be where I'm at right now. I didn't walk into this room, I'm creating myself within it right now. Totally imagined; all stories and thoughts of how I came to be here, or what I am, all imagined to sustain the survival of the ego. All done out of infinite love, made out of love, infinitely intelligent truthful selfless love.

Give it some time and integrate the experience. You'll be back for more

Y'all should read some Ken Wilber to be aware of the traps in this work. It's easy to get stuck in a realization never wanting to progress further. If you think you've reached the highest awakening, then you haven't. Not directed at anyone.

Nothing like a psychedelic humbling Also, I'd think that this mahasamadhi thing I've seen countless people talk about, that they "could have", but didn't. It's just a fear stopping you from complete ego death, fear of losing that point of perceiver, or "awareness" of consciousness. Personally, I think you'll never achieve Mahasamadhi on a psychedelic no matter how convinced you are of it, you need a real spiritual gift such as Sadhguru, Ramana, Yogananda, or Mahavatar Babaji possessed.

I've recently been rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation, and I've noticed just how good of a show this is to deepen your understanding of how SD works in "real-world" situations. You might think, well it's just a show in the end, can't be that accurate of how civilizations and societies would act in real life. But as @Forestluv brought to my attention recently, the producer of the show Gene Roddenberry was rumored to be aware of Clair Graves' work. So if you've studied the model or something like Integral Theory, then this can be a fun way to keep exploring and thinking about how different stages behave and how they resolve all kinds of interesting dilemmas. Of course, it's not perfect so go into it with your own authority and knowledge to try and notice how complicated it can be to live in a universe with all these different world-view species. And notice how similar it is to how the world operates today, these different species could be looked at as if they were nations in today's world. The federation is prime time yellow in their approach to most conflicts, yet have an orange view of exploration for science, hence, "To boldly go where no man has gone before". They solve problems with an "above" judgmental tier 2 approach and follow the so-called Prime Directive wherever they go, in which states they're not to intervene with an alien civilization below a certain threshold of cultural, scientific, and technological development; a very yellow approach. This is done so they're not to impose their own values and ideals on them, as this can severely mess up the development of their society. In the episode "Who watches the watchers" it is seen how severe of a consequence it can be for a civilization to come in contact with a stage Purple society. After witnessing their medical powers and beaming technology, they were convinced that captain Picard was their god. And so they started to worship him and it took a great deal of effort to convince them that he bled just as they did. Some of my favorite episodes are where the character Q appears. A stage Coral being who could be seen as god (with god-like powers) in human form. The Q member which is most often presented, one of many, has what could be seen as extreme trickster archetype characteristics seen from stages lesser than Coral. Yellow still does not understand that "death" and the wiping out of a whole civilization could be seen as god's highest form of love. Yet it is not known if Q does this out of amusement, which seems to be the case, or if he's doing it out of love but unknowingly, which would be weird because apparently he's omniscient. Despite if he does this out of amusement or love, it's still nonetheless done out of love because all of reality is love-driven. The most evil and vile things are pure perfection and beauty. Here's the list of species/planets ranked by their stage: Purple: Mintaka III Red: Klingons(Red/Purple), The Borg (Red/Blue/Beige) Blue: Cardassians, Romulans. Orange: The Ferengi, Vulcans(orange/blue) Green: Rubiicun lll (Extreme green/blue) Yellow: The Federation Turquoise/Coral: The Q Continuum, Betazoid, El-Aurian. Please correct me if you feel otherwise.

Do you get paid for promoting this movie?

From what I saw, he claimed he doesn't lift weights, which is true. He only uses resistance type machines, and basically trains like an Olympic sprinter, which is why he looks like one. The pace on that dude is out of this world. I'd say the most vital thing for him would be to work on his left leg, he's so one dimensional but still very young and has great potential.
