Interesting and fun read. But no worries, no matter how you fight this battle, it will end up again and again with Love.

8:58 This western Advaita that it's all an illusion has got to end! You won't awaken if you believe everything's an illusion.

This I've found to be one of if not the most important factor in this work. No one teacher holds 100% truth.

I know. I'm not disagreeing with you or anyone else here. I myself love boxing and other sports. I'm just saying there are other things to do in life to express your love and especially at his age. And who the fuck am I to tell the champ what to do or not. He's probably doing this to challenge himself.

Tyson is 54, he should be wise enough to know when to pass on the torch to the next generation. It only ruins your legacy coming back and not knowing how to let go and find other passions. If Mike took couple more hits of the toad, he'd likely change his mind on this comeback. It's as if Magic Johnsson were to make a comeback to the NBA. Just let go.

This is just classic ego backlash.

Wow, what a trip that was! Me and my best friend alongside an older childhood friend of mine, which my best friend is very close to, joined us on this magical fairytale. We all took about 190mg of M and went on a hike to find a place to settle. What we found could only be described as pure paradise, the grass, the flowers, the beaming sun, and the clear sky. We then lit up some joints as we came up and started to open up. What an incredible social drug molly is. It felt good to speak completely openly and without even a thought of any judgment. I had some moments in the trip where I started to fade into a white void, but the social aspect tended to pull me back into wanting to express some thoughts, or just look at nature. At one point a fighter jet blasted past us which is a very rare sight here in Iceland. There is a NATO military base not far from where we stayed so it was likely the U.S. military or the Canadian military. After seeing that some amazing clouds started to form and what could only be described as pure reflection of today's society. I saw a bunch of militant imagery and political conflicts. This really confirmed to me how intelligent reality is and how connected the oneness truly is. But this didn't last long as a strong urge to gaze at the sun washed over me. The most fascinating thing was how you could see how life-giving the sun and stars are. It's the creator in a sense for us here on this planet. It also became very clear how I was imagining the sun in that direct moment. As I'm imagining this laptop right now, and the person writing all of this. The last days I've had a hard time reading a text as my eyes are still adjusting from this sun stare, I'll make sure to have sunglasses on next time. This was an overall positive experience, but I felt we smoked a little too much. Next time around I'd much rather do it cleanly or with a traditional psychedelic. The weed really kicked this trip into 8th gear, but the comedown was a bit rough from all the smoking, but we're all feeling great now. I'm not a fan of smoking really even though I enjoy the occasional edibles, I feel they are way different than smoking and more psychedelic-like. I really don't have much use for weed of any kind anymore, not even edibles. It's just not on the same level as LSD or Mushrooms. No substances are needed for this work. I talk about them a lot, but they're just convenient tools. What matters is how much love you put out into the world. How much do you see yourself in others.

Id say since we're using this fence analogy, using psychedelics is like using a hammer, doing it sober is like using fence-pliers. Both work and do the job, but one just takes a little more patience and time.

@Mafortu Yes, no need to believe any of that, that's just some story. I love Spira too, but I find Matt was the one who actualized the stuff Spira talks about for me. It can easily become a mental masturbation if you're not in touch with your feelings.

The love will only grow greater and shine brighter. Recommend watching Matt Khan, he can be incredibly therapeutic and may be exactly the thing you need.

I don't get this necessity over trip sitters. The only time you really need one is for salvia, else you should be good.

Been watching John for quite some time now, absolutely love him.

Are you aware of that now? If not, it's a mere belief.

Expression of love and joy maybe.

I'm an avid energy drink consumer. I like to drink the sugar-free monster energy drinks almost daily or every other day. I do it occasionally for some months then I often stop when I believe I've had enough. That time has come now, I really want to get my caffeine tolerance down to 0 and keep it there. I don't like to force myself to stop things until I believe the time has come. It's the same with nofap; sometimes I can stop easily for many months without It being difficult because there is no need for it. Then again I allow it to happen if it wants to. This is what I believe living as a superconductor means. I'm going to start reading again after many months break. I'm going to re-read "Conversations with god book 1" and continue on with "The book of not knowing" and "Osho's 112 meditations". I enjoyed reading a lot back when I was on my streak but felt it was time to take a break. In a couple of days, me and my friend will be going on a mountain hike on Mdma, Mushrooms, and I'll be smoking some weed for the first time in many months. I don't really have any need to smoke but according to him, it's incredibly healing with Mdma. I've felt the need for a nature trip for a long time now after tripping inside almost every time for a year. I'll never forget a nature trip we took in a forest outside the city two years ago. It was the most healing experience of my life. I really want to experience the sun also on this trip, as I've always tripped at night, so we'll be waiting for a sunny and hot day and find a beautiful mountain to hike. I notice how quickly one closes down after a psychedelic experience. This often happens after a trip if I don't immediately keep working on myself and practise loving awareness. I'm making sure to do that now after this recent experience. Watching some Matt Khan, Adyashanti, and Sadhguru keeps me gravitated to be contemplating all sorts of things. Also starting to do some breathing exercises to keep the vibrations high which leads to elevated consciousness, and soon will be starting kundalini yoga as well.

It's all falling back in place, the body is catching up to what this is all about. This dance of love we all go through in life. It becomes more clear each trip I take what life is and how best to navigate it. It's so simple and clear and always was, it was to love more! Love all, Love yourself, Love life, Love gratefulness, Love Love, Thank you for Love!! Forgive yourself. I forgive myself for not loving me as I deserved. The harder you love out, the stronger it comes back to you, the less baggage you have to carry. The body needs its own time and pace, and I respect that. I thought It was all about disidentifying with a body, It's your body's journey which is going through this life, the awareness within is just here to observe the body, and to take care of it. Now, what will I do with all this Love? Share it around of course!

@electroBeam god bless you sir

Time for good ol' LSD trip. Been a good 3 weeks now since my last LSD trip. It was an awesome one, but lacked effort on my part and ended with little growth. I've been trying to stay more conscious every day and started my meditating again. I've been looking into kundalini yoga as well and will likely experiment with that. Sadhguru has a strict warning off the potency it can provide, so much in fact it can lead to serious problems. But I in my humble arrogance believe I'm ready for it. Been watching a lot of Sadhguru and Adyshanti the last weeks. From having delved into Sadhguru's mind in the past and now, I get the feeling he exudes a lot more wisdom than many traditional non-dualists or neo advitas. Of course, I'm careful of not projecting any authority to anyone, but his level of body control and knowledge of the body's intelligence I feel far exceeds any other teacher. I believe he also admitted in May that he has really been "pussyfooting" around with how he explains all of what he has to say. If I remember right he's going out of the public spotlight after he releases his new book on death, and will be turning inwards once again. But then again, all of this is just a story of which my imagination entertains. Can't really get too lost in all of this, as it has no relevance to my awakening. I've been contemplating many things in the last couple of days. Things such as existence being entirely subjective and relative. The subjectivity really amazes me each time I try to reflect on it; how the room I'm sitting in right now is all of existence, totally imagined as a limitation to experience itself...amazing. I've also learned to appreciate just not thinking or contemplating anything at all. Just sitting and being. The mind finds all kinds of sneaky ways to act like it has figured reality out when in fact, it can't be thought, only felt. Watching the breath is something I'll be focusing a lot more on now. From meditation to daily activities, monitoring the breath leads to a clear, calm, and silent mind. Like Sadhguru said in regards to leaving the spotlight, he'll also retire the language in his mind and totally erase it. I'll be dropping the tabs in two hours. I'm going in with a focus on contemplating and figuring out how to evolve into higher consciousness in everyday life. As I'm writing this I also feel that I don't really know what I want out of this trip, other than becoming wiser and more experienced in life. I feel I can't rely on psychedelics too much also, for it is I who needs to transform and no one but I can. I use them as tools, but sometimes I forget that they're only that, tools to assist. We'll see what comes out of this, hopefully, something lovely.

Thank you for reminding us of this. ?

I'd bet you gained a little more clarity after offloading here.

Did you tie your camel before the shift started?

@acidgoofy Just because it's physically safe doesn't mean it's necessarily healthy for you. The overstimulation of serotonin is like shooting meth except its not dopamine. It's such an alien high you can become insensitive to feeling it the way nature intended. I'd stick to 1-3 times per year max. Correct me if I'm wrong, just my two cents.

Kratom powder is the worst thing I've ever tasted in my entire life! I simply can not believe how bad the taste is. Anyways, time to dissolve.

@Aratrok Nonsense? I live on a farm.
