There are so many nuances within every color and you can meet a mainly-yellow person with many shadows and deficiencies from previous stages and in contrary a mainly-orange person who is wise and sensitive and can teach you a lot, even if you are "above" him what you still can't measure because it is too complicated. Remember we all have the highest stages already in our subconsious (the subconscious is connected to infinite intelligence) just dont have a conscious access to them. SD is a great map to inspire one about his true infinite potential beyond what he tought he is. But be careful to not see a person as a rigid "orange person" or "blue person" and think they can give you nothing because this is far from truth.

Sorry to hear your suffering. In your case so yes I understand. Generally speaking I understand there are times we need it especially of we dont have another tools/knowledge/support/etc, but what I mean is that you dont need them inherently (because of how you are built, your genetic or something like this). Again if you think you need, ok, thats your right to decide for yourself. I am just saying what i think. I have ocd and i had panic attacks and very hard times so maybe not as you had but i can relate to some degree.

This is cannot being said as such a black-white statement. Every one will determin for HIMSELF what he can or can't do in his/her opinion. For god sake for what do we have all this spirituality if in the end in the most important topic for a one's most fundamental well being the answer is "just take the pills". This is absurd and fortunately not true.

Why all these changes? This extremely irritating to your nervous system. How did you felt during the 25mg? And during the 12.5? Versus the last two months with 0? You might probably have significant withdrawal symptoms right now. If you will feel worse the next month I would return (with another doctor) to 12.5 or 25 and stay there for couple of months until you feel ok, and then start to taper according to the rule of 10% every 4 weeks which found out to be the max safe phase for reducing ssri drugs.

What is stone aged in my opinion is our attitude towards these mental conditions and the paradigm of outside solutions rather than to awake the patient to his own potential to nevigate his life in his own unique path throught the messages his brain sends to him and WITH them. Every mental problem is our subconscious messages pushing us towards our own unique developmemt and to be more align with our authentic self. Genetics will influence the form of the symptoms absolutely but the form is only the external mask or disguise of the problem and not the real problem and/or its purpose. Of course there are tons of physical factors that influence the volume of the signals of the problem and are very important to address but I think they are rarely the main source of it. For example, a heavy metal toxicity will have totally different outcome in the symptoms in every person and thats is affected by the genetics but again this is an excess to the problem but not the root. I am not an expert at all in the epi genetic issue but I have impressed it can always influence your genetic experssion. Maybe during adulthood it is harder and requires longer process what makes sense to me.

Much much less because tomatoes are much more natural and physiologically and evolutional suitable to the human body and with suitable "dosage". Of course that doesnt mean it is 0% addictive (sugar is also natural but to be fair is highly processed before it sold and far from the natural form) but far far less.

You cannot know this as long as you cannot see the infinite complexity of the body and the brain. Nobody can give a clear cut answer. They are less addictive than conventional drugs thats the only thing we can say in a high probability.

@Wildcattt555 Chronic use of EVERYTHING artificial will have a price to our body and brain it is very clear it will be that way. Our brain always will try to counter-act long term a substance we use many times. Believe me I know with the SSRI I take 12 years and today I can reduce max 3% / month because of the tolerance. I wish I knew before what I know today. But in the other hand it doesnt mean the body and brain cannot reverse the process with enough time because they can.

@YeahIam Your feeling of "stuck" is right now the main thing you have to process and develop through. Feel it. Question it why is it here. Express the feeling in your body even if it feels "wrong" or negative, and it will transform you slowly and answers will come up graduately.

No. I am not saying I have the answers.

@hyruga I dont know fully what happened so I will say what I think in general. I assume its not black and white and part of the rules Leo insists of are justified. But above all that, if the truth create so much fear in people and/or fear of misusing it, that it has to be so regulated, maybe there is also a problem in how we see this "truth"? Maybe we are missing something? Maybe we should doubt again what we think the truth is, even if we think we absolutely know?

Trying to figure out the root cause. Genetics is not enough to make a really hard disorder. Epi-genetics is much more important and it talks about how your environment and your actions turn on/off genes expressions. Even tough there are phisycal factors too (nutrition, heavy metals and much more) the term "illness" is still measliding and not apropriate in my opinion in mental issues difficult as they are.

"You need to see professional help". Yes, this sentence alone will definitely make him do so ?‍♂️ Its like "hey see, you are fat! Eat healthy ok??" Sorry but just to say to someone "go to professional help" = pure NOTHINGNESS.

+1 ❤

Demonization of mental states is a bad idea. I am not saying you do that, and I understand your fear of drowning into his spiral, but there must be a way to help, without be immersed in the situation yourself. So yes, tell him he need professional help, this is necessary in this situation, but just to tell him that is not enough. The problem is complex and has many facets and causes, but a real support is to be there for him unconditionaly and make him learn also his own capabilities to help himself even if its a long process of weeks and months. If you are so scared of the situation maybe it means that there is here a challenge and a path of development for you too. If you care about him even in some way, dont run from him.

+1 ❤ Full circle.

@Javfly33 You won't be able to bypass the problem with any spiritual method no matter how conscious is. You must listen to yourself and your authentic feelings first and foremost. Go do what your feelings wants you to do. Your development will come along the way but it must integrate also your social fulfilling.

There will always be something deeper. Nobody have ever got to the "final" stage because it does not exist. There are infinite levels of consciousness.

Yes in your psych. And also in mine.

I relate to that. This means in your opinion pro or against the idea of solipsism?

@BlueOak What do you mean?

Yes Leo helps a lot of course but I mean the ultimate truth can not be guided by a formula from outside.

@ethanb121 Paradoxically only if you will allow yourself to surrender to the fear and validate its perspective with love and a genuine place to be true in some way, your mind will return you a different picture that will show you also the good things and the genuine intentions behind actualized.org, which personally I think are many (despite my personal hatred to solipsism). But you have to sacrifice something before it can happen.

@Someone here Nobody can guide you through this but you.
