I'm thankful to witness @Shin 's opportunity of thankfulness towards @JosephKnecht thankfulness about being thankful. wat?

Yeah, but that's the problem of telling this to people who've not gotten it. That may be the truth in the direct experience of the one who has awakened, but saying it to a none awakened person is dismissing the process which led you to your awakening in the first place.

I've felt this to a certain extent myself. It can be tough to "do the work" with great vigour when you experience pure god consciousness states with the assistance of psychedelics. Yet the imprinted understanding that one gets from these experiences feels so valuable on the path to awakening that it's hard to deny the impact they can have, and to dismiss them as most teachers in this work do is a great tragedy. That's correct, but he still has his close-minded stance on their purpose for awakening.

It's needed relative to you wanting to awaken. It's not needed if you don't mind living in the illusion.

@Forestluv Amazing post, my friend! Thanks.

Could he be in this weird stage because of low spiritual intelligence, as Wilber speaks about in (Religion of tomorrow)?

A change in consciousness is needed if you ever wish to realize what it is that's arising right now. Even though it doesn't change the objective nature of what is being observed, yet it lifts the veil of ignorance and leads to truth and love, which are identical. Infinite love is the highest awakening and the purest unfiltered truth.

Exactly. I don't get how he doesn't see this. Is it his self-bias towards psychedelics that's leading him to cover it up with this silly notion?

This is only the midpoint of a total awakening, a crucial and necessary realization to have. Love is absolutely the final full awakening. There are many stages that one must pass through to realize that, some eventually get there, others get stuck in the emptiness zen space. "When love reaches its peak the lover disappears" - Osho

He ain't really wrong on that there's not a lot of evidence that psychedelics alone can push you towards permanent enlightenment. Yet he always dismisses them because of how "truth can't be realized through states of altered consciousness" which is utter nonsense. It's like saying you don't know what sex is like because you're not doing it right now, despite having done it before.

I'll bite the bullet and be the one to say it. Love.

I did feel like after his explanation of god video that he was getting it. Now after this actualized one, I think he's gotten some glimpses, but parrots a lot of stuff and has some mental instability. Just my 2 cents. This talk of bringing heaven to earth, when...it's already here. Also, I'd suspect he's still looking through a shadowy orange worldview lens without having properly integrated green, yellow, or turquoise. Realizing such states of consciousness without evolving and integrating your world-view can be very problematic.

lol

Stay safe!

Could depend on so many factors there really isn't an answer to it. Maybe they say 5 hours is healthy so you keep buying their energy inducing products because you're always tired. I feel about 40-60% better after 7-8 hours sleep than a 5 hour one.

Wanting to maintain something will always come with a fear of losing it. Just tackle your fears and see what happens instead of trying to make it permanent.

Awesome, well done! Challenges like these are always so worth it in the end.

If what @LfcCharlie4 was saying is the case, then make sure to check if the socket has a grounding wire. Not all sockets do, if there are only two wires connecting it then it's missing the green and yellow grounding wire.

Two of the biggest stars in the NBA are - Giannis Antetokounmpo Luka Dončić So I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you create amazing art, people will learn any name in order to remember you.

I've not done a morning run nor woken up at 5 AM for almost a month now. Since my leg injury happened and all the trips I've been focusing on, my mind has not been in discipline mode at all, which is fine really. I won't guilt myself like in the past for not being able to follow it 100%. Self-Love all the way baby! Anyway, I've been doing the flow workouts daily and those have been going great. But I've kind of hit a plateau with it and feel like it's time to change the exercises up a bit. I'll construct a new workout plan tomorrow and start following that one instead. I also want to start doing more sprints out in the fields. Really want to build bigger and more defined legs, like Cristiano Ronaldo level. But I always notice how when I start focusing too much on a certain look I want, the fun kind of falls out. I've always loved jumping as well, so I might add in some plyometric exercises, I have this freak of nature jumping power and have ever since I was a kid because I played basketball most of my life, so I might work on that some more. I'm not entirely sure if I'm going to start the 5 AM runs right away. I kind of want to but I'm not feeling ready just yet, maybe in a couple of days I'll just go for it. I've not forgotten how amazing it felt, like really really amazing. I'm going to really work on stretching my calves before I start again. My right calf got incredibly stiff after my leg started to hurt and I need to loosen it up. Been thinking of getting a massage gun soon, I tested one out the other day at a friend's house and it felt incredibly good. This is the workout I've been doing for the past 3 months. I started off the first month normally, then the second month with a 5kg backpack and the third with a 10kg backpack. I'll still continue the same warm up routine and stretching, I'm just changing the exercises.

Absolutely, however, I'm also cautious of not turning this into a "thing" to do on trips. I find nothing better than pure silence and staring at an object or your hand during a trip and realizing how I'm imagining it, really delving into how reality works. But often the curiosity is so strong on wanting to explore the world that it's fine for a little while.

I had an interesting insight on the trip I've been reminiscent about. It was that life purpose is not found, it's created. I thought I knew this and I did, but It really became crystal clear on the trip that it's something you create from the ground up. So you're creating something out of nothing for the love of creation, since god's highest love is creating, that ought to be true for the human experience as well. I still don't know how to go about finding what I wish to create. I'm very creative and love creating things from the ground up and have done so with many things, yet not with anything I'd consider a high passion. So here's a list of things I'd consider myself good at. Building a brand, handy with tools and construction type work, creative thinking, teaching people about independent thinking and getting them out of their limited world-view, teaching about the ego-mind and reality, storytelling?, teaching people how to achieve mastery in a sport or any interest. So where to go from here. I've got no idea if my passion lies in teaching, kind of stereotypical for people in enlightenment work, yet I really love trying to wake people up who want to wake up (even though I'm nowhere near to being able to teach it as a full-time job), would probably take around 3-5 more years of tripping and contemplating to be able to have deep enough understanding of reality to teach it well. I also love the idea of creating a health and wellness center here in my country. Where there would be classes on kriya yoga, kundalini yoga, tantra, contemplation, meditation, flow workouts, healthy eating, happiness, achieving mastery, etc. In a sense to get people to live an extremely clean and healthy life. This would take a lot of capital to create so I'd probably have to gain more success in online marketing before I'd do this. I've also thought about just continuing the marketing I was doing last year before Covid hit to in a sense escape the wage slavery and build enough capital to start something I'm passionate about. I've spent a lot of time learning it so it would be wise to continue with that. It's not my highest passion by any means but I can do it without getting depressed so maybe that's my best bet. Escaping wage slavery is the highest priority at the moment.

Lol, my best friend made this. This one features Martin Ball, and another one with Matt Kahn is on the way.
