Actually you do, cuz all is one and you guys are just sitting here debating yourselves.

@ivankiss Both

That would imply that it were other than false, which it also is. This is where we hit the language barrier.

"That which is emptiness is not other than form; that which is form is not other than emptiness."

@Javfly33 (p. 275 (bottom) - 276) There he recommends you ask your therapist: What do you understand "self-esteem" to mean? What do you think healthy self-esteem depends on? What will we do together to that will have a positive effect on my self-esteem? What are your reasons for thinking so? "Any conscientious professional will respect these questions" I'd say any therapist that does not acknowledge Branden's work should not be taken seriously on the topic of self-esteem.

@Javfly33 If I remember correctly, Nathaniel posed forth a question in the book one should ask one's therapist before continuing with them, to validate their level.

Chapter: 15 Been recovering slowly and steadily after my fast the last days. Finally, I'm able to start my business again after almost 3 months off due to the Chinese new year and then the Covid-19 virus outbreak - which has not really slowed down, but factories are opening nonetheless. This is where I have the hardest time staying on the spiritual path so I'll probably have to start waking up a lot sooner to get all my daily reading in and meditation. Marketing can be all over the place business so those extra hours in the morning should really count for something. But It also allows me to buy more psychedelics for more and deeper trips so that's a plus. Summer is right around the corner and better yet spring. There is nothing I love more than a morning run or walk during a spring morning; the air is so fresh and clean, and nature starts to become more alive. Winters in Iceland can be quite challenging on mind and soul, we don't get much d-vitamins from the sun due to it being so low, and it's only up for 4-6 hours. When summer hits, I always become more energetic for hiking and doing things. In the next days, I'll start to wake up more close to 4 AM slowly but surely.

Everything to get an edge over the competition. He was a pure embodiment of mastery.

@yangmilun Try this; next time you're feeling optimistic and hopeful. Write down your goals, but also write down that you in the future will experience some pitfalls. Write about how this future you is wrong and that it is only temporary. Then proceed to read it when you're feeling low.

@Thewritersunion This looks like some sort of mix between mythic-magic blue and yellow.

@Cocolove Paramind - Otherworldly experiences, where one becomes aware of the ever-present eternal now. Overmind - When you become the witness of oneness, the I AMness. It is the fullest a form can get in all of existence. Omniscient awareness and knowledge are found here. Overmind is completely in love with everything in the kosmos. Supermind - This is where one enters into a place that you could not think up in trillion trillion years. This goes beyond anything and everything. One becomes 100% infinite and eternal. Where one looks into the eyes of any being and sees nothing but the reflection of a mirror. You deeply care for every being as it is your creation.

@Leo Gura Really love these couch-talking videos. Feel like you connect to us on a deeper level there because those videos are not as mainstream.

@Thewritersunion Here are some of few Coral videos available. https://actualized.org/insights/tapping-into-collective-consciousness https://www.actualized.org/insights/ego-collapse-awakening https://actualized.org/insights/dpt-the-other-god-molecule https://actualized.org/insights/total-omniscience-awakening

Day: 4 I've decided to cut the fast just 7 hours from full 4 days due to almost completely fainting just 30 min ago. I went to take a piss, on my way out of the bathroom my vision went completely white. I managed to go into my bedroom to lie down quickly, drank some water and ate a banana. It felt like I had taken 5-MeO for a minute or two. There was nothing but pure light. My physical body could not handle it though as I got instant cold sweats and felt like I had 107* fever. I will continue with my 20/4 fasting window from now on, or even one meal a day.

I decided to do this fast when I started a 20/4 intermittent fasting a couple of days ago. I've always wanted to try a water fast for 5 days, mainly for meditation purposes and detoxing the body. I'll document each day here in this journal and you're welcome to follow along; maybe this will give you some motivation to give it a try. I'd note that this is not advisable for everybody to try as it can be dangerous if you have any type of disease or health problems. I'm in 100% health and have no issues that run in my family such as diabetes, heart diseases, etc.

Day: 3 Today was definitely easier than the last two days, but I'm still extremely weak and low on energy. It could be due to the fact that we don't get a lot of sun in Iceland so vitamin-D deficiency is my closes guess. I've not been able to read or meditate for that matter due to lack of focus. I can feel the detoxing effects tho, but they are not close to a solid LSD trip or a Mushroom trip. I'm even having kind of a hard time reporting my days here. The hunger has long faded and my psychological cravings too. So I've decided to shorten this experiment to 4 days. Tomorrow at 8 PM I'll finally break fast and start consuming food very lightly. The detoxing has been a nice bonus, this didn't help very much with meditation and focus. I'll just stick to psychedelics.

Day: 2 50 hours in. Today was a tough one; loads of craving for food. But what was notable is that I was not hungry at all, but rather had a psychological craving for food. Energy levels are notably down, I've not done much today other than watch content on youtube. I tried reading but could by no means focus on the task. So I went on to watch an hour of mukbang videos. I'm not proud of it, but it definitely released some of the cravings I was experiencing. It will be interesting to see how my upcoming meditation session will be. Whether I'll be able to focus or not, I'm not certain, but awareness has definitely gone up. By far the toughest thing about today was the smell of burritos and ground beef in my kitchen, and the variety of ice-creme for dessert, the urge to quit became insanely strong. This challenge is a lot tougher when you don't live by yourself. Luckily I managed to pull myself together.

Day: 1 As I'm writing this day 1 occurred yesterday. It was very easy as I had been doing the 20/4 fasting days before. I noticed how much energy I had throughout the whole day. Meditation was a bit tough, my stomach was growling a little but not so much that it disturbed my meditation. I'm making sure to get at least 3 liters of water each day.

Chapter 14: Been 5 days since the last log, a lot has happened since then. I went on a reading break on Friday which only ended up being about 2-3 days. It was nice and much needed though. I spent some time with family and got my mind off this work for those 3 days. Books: I finished "The Religion Of Tomorrow" today after about 3 weeks of reading it. I've got a nice feeling of accomplishment and relief as it was quite dense and a little tough read. Although I'm done reading it page by page; I will still continue to study it and re-read all highlighted parts - they are worthy of contemplation for the whole year. A book like this you've really got to dig in and extract every drop of wisdom. Fitness: After getting a pull-up bar last weekend, I've been doing pull-ups non-stop over the past 2 weeks. It ended of course with an injury to the shoulder as I was doing about 70-100 each day. The problem has been found and dealt with, as I was not going down for full range of motion as I should've been doing. Now I'm doing recovery training, by only initiating the pull-UP movement by contracting the shoulder blades only. It's going well so far. Meditation: Been going at the meditation every day as planned; time ranges from 40 minutes to 80 minutes. I don't feel that the longer meditations are yielding more results than the 40 min ones, that's likely because my meditation skills are still in the intermediate phase. Lucid Dreaming: I've been having an awful amount of distraction every time I've woken up to perform a WILD technique or FILD. I'm doing reality checks often each and every day. I expect to get more peace to perform those techniques in the next week or two. I've been remembering dreams every night and writing them down, usually multiple per night. Fasting: For the last 2-3 days, I started doing a 20/4 fasting window, where I eat from 16:00-20:00. Which then ended up with doing a water fast for the next 5 days. Currently, I've not consumed any food since 8-PM last night - so that's about 28 hour fast right now. Tomorrow will be a tough one. The reason why I'm trying this out is I'm interested in seeing how much it will impact my meditation and awareness throughout the day. I'm interested to see if it will help any with the lucid dreaming. I also felt it was time to "detox" my body to get a fresh start. The main motivator will be how good food will taste once I break the fast, but also the challenge; I feel this is a great way to gain discipline all around in life as it is quite challenging not to eat for 5-days.

@Rilles Have you looked into Integral-Theory? So far I've liked it much more than Spiral-Dynamics; primarily because it includes Spiral and every other value system out there. I always found SD way too simplified for how complex reality is.

Agreed. Green can often be the most vicious when its limits are pushed. I also notice a lot of blue hate, they are quite loving I've come to notice.

@Average Investor Your Youtube channel is awesome man, well done! Thumbnails are looking clean and in order, and the videos are top-notch. Just subscribed. Good luck on your journey.

Seems to me like there's a shadow addiction to stage orange and an allergy to orange going on here. It doesn't have to be either way. Simple as that.

Wow I've never seen such a messed up post - did not intend for that and it doesn't seem to work editing it either.
