@Rilles That's some real self-love, lol.

That's some real dedication to flute mastery!

Just finished a fantastic leg workout. I've put the flow workouts to a little rest for now and will be doing only weight/explosive training. With maybe one day of flow workout per week, and some morning running once I can muster up the spirit to start it again. The weather here has been pretty crazy, currently a snowstorm outside. I 2 months ago would've been loving this, but I got a little softer after my latest trip. I need to work it back up and start waking up at 5 AM. Been doing the cold showers every day which has helped a lot with keeping some of that discipline up, as well as working out daily. I really miss the morning runs, but my right leg seems to not love it at all. Not really been working on my calf like I said I would. I need to write it down so I won't forget. I really do need to loosen it up before I start the daily running again. I ought to get myself a massage gun, but won't until after Christmas, just in case if I get it as a present. And maybe need to go have my foot looked at as well, so I can get the right custom shoes that fit my foot. Been on Creatine now for probably around 2 months. Feels great, you really do notice a massive difference in performance. But I feel like it's usually worked best when lifting heavy (bodybuilding style) which I've not been doing, but I'm loving it I've pretty much fallen out of my caffeine discipline as well, after such a long time without it, you kind of forget that you were even doing it. So I'll have to take a look at that soon come. But I won't give up cacao this time around. It benefits me too much and doesn't contain a lot.

@DocWatts Awesome! I'll make sure to add DS9 to my watchlist.

Beautiful!

Don't you know the 76th rule of acquisition? "Every once in a while declare peace...it confuses the hell out of your enemies".

I do think he's a Muslim so it may be holding him back from opening his mind to those kinds of teachings. Yet he did experience infinite love on his 5 MeO trip. I really hope he doesn't mix it into some Muslim fairy tale and get all twisted up. But this is all too much speculation.

haha! alright, I was a little confused as well. Tyson is very wise from what I've seen in recent interviews.

Yeah, I admire him for actually taking this so seriously. Not a lot of folks are repaired to do a 40 day fast.

@DefinitelyNotARobot Unfortunately it went right over their heads, but it seems to have tickled some green side in Logan since he did attend another Sadhguru talk later on. I feel like his friends are holding him back from going fully into it. Yeah absolutely, I think Connor will pull himself together with a little time to ponder and integrate these experiences. That made me laugh out loud! ? (Not that there's anything wrong with that of course). He seems very intelligent and professional. You never know since psychedelics are becoming more popular in the sports industry and all over, and he's apparently aware of shamanic breathing which says something maybe.

"Once you have their money, you never give it back" - "Exactly!" ?

@louhad Kobe was actually very green/yellow after his injury happened in 2013. But this interview reflects very well how orange helped him get to the top in his early life.

This is pure orange gold, and it cracks me up. They've turned capitalism into a religion. A beautiful Yellow/Turquoise speech to the Cardassians and Klingons. Notice how the Klingon immediately threatens death (Red), which is hilarious, one of my favorite Star Trek moments ever. But the Cardassians respond in a more humane way, yet disgusted but not as brutal as red. And seems like the Romulans (blue) might have realized that they have some common orange with the federation. Coral being hunted by blue. "You were terrified of something you couldn't understand", beautiful, sums up tier 1. This is great.

Don't know if you guy's watched the whole card, but this moment at 0:59 caught my spiritual ear. Looks like we have another Connor Murphy on our hands in a couple of years.

I don't know what they lace the meatballs with over there in Vegas.

Something to contemplate on then I was quite taken by surprise myself, then started to question why.

It can still be love without you being aware of it. Kind of like how people already perceive reality without knowing it's all total goodness.

Can't imagine tripping at IKEA, feels like a human zoo.

@Tim Ho Thanks @SamueLSD

Trip Report- Sorry if this text is all over the place. My mind is still very stimulated from this trip so just tried to flow with what I wanted to say, not focusing on structuring it too well. "Yesterday" I had my deepest experience of God I've had to date. I find myself in quite the pickle since I'll be using the word "I" a lot to describe this experience. When in fact it had no I. There was no point in which the experience took place. It was seen for what it is. The trip started off really smooth, I opened up to it and let my self dissolve into thin air. My attachments to who I am, completely vanished and I became directly conscious of infinite consciousness. Aware of myself as all of reality. The oneness was staggering. I remember at one point in the trip where I was watching a Hans Zimmer live concert. I was conscious of how I was imagining each member in the band, playing in perfect harmony, I was the crowd, the sound, the conductor, to create this marvelous piece of perfect beauty, for my own self-love. I realized how important it is to be your own authority since I'm the one running the show. I AM GOD. I can't look to anyone but myself. I stared at my hand in awe, the truth of it, the intelligence of it, the incredibly incredible design. I really met the buddha at this moment and killed him for good. After realizing all this, I wanted a little break from the realizations, so I went and watched Graham Norton's show where the rock was doing some sort of smoldering act. I was conscious of how I was him, the entertainer, I was the other guests on the couch, I was the crowd, I was god doing this all, being all those people for my enjoyment. It was one of the funniest and most beautiful things I've realized. I became aware of how the spiritual ego doesn't really consider watching the rock on a talk show as a deep realization, when in fact it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever experienced. God enjoys all levels of entertainment. Because he's performing it for himself, to create this relative realm. After this little enjoyment, I went and watched Leo's guided exercises for infinite consciousness video. I skipped the bullshit in the beginning and jumped somewhere to around minute 1:28:00 of the video. And that's where I became directly aware, that I'M LEO! And I started to speak to myself through him, I was him speaking to me, but there was no me or him, it was just the one, speaking to itself. I really enjoy watching some of Leo's videos when I'm deep into a trip, I feel like I can teach myself through him, but I was also aware of how quickly this made me lose my sense of authority, so I shut it off and stared at my hand some more. I feel like I can ground myself sometimes while tripping with Leo, but soon I will have to give all teachers up forever, to understand this all myself. I've now pretty much returned to my ego-attached-mind and can feel the attachments that keep me ignored from realizing myself as god. Although I'm still kind of aware of how I am the "external" world, it still feels "internal". I just came from the store, and being in traffic and in public felt very weird, to say the least, like it was all happening in my mind, and that's because it is. On the trip, it felt very organic and neutral to declare myself as god, however, I need to be careful of not turning this into an ego identity. I also want to applaud Leo for his work. I'll say it here and now, "he" is the most profound teacher I've ever come across, "he" has the most detailed explanation of reality I've seen any teacher teach, of course, "he" teaches the same stuff most teachers teach, but the detail of it goes beyond any other teacher I've seen so far. Although I'll be very careful here, this is not about LEO at all, but what he teaches. I say this with a grain of salt so I'm not projecting my authority unto him, yet it's the truth. But you still have to do the work on your own most importantly. You can only say this once you've taken your authority back and seen the truth with your own eyes. Love you all.

I don't really like picking one over another, but some of my favorites so far would be. Infinite Love Infinite Intelligence Oneness Selflessness

Watch some Matt Kahn.

Find some hobbies to spice your life up a bit, get your mind of constant thinking. Don't be so hard on yourself, this grinding lifestyle is usually the problem, not the solution. Working hard and grinding are not really the same thing, grinders tend to push problems further instead of taking a step back and analyzing a situation. Try to stay more relaxed and in flow with your struggles.

Happy birthday @Natasha! Always nice to see you around here on the forum.
