Exactly. I’m in agreement with you there. So why would you need them? Or better yet, why would it be impossible to have the same awakenings and insights without them? It’s all consciousness anyway, that’s like scientists doing science within God and claiming there’s no God.

The whole attitude here regarding the power of meditation/contemplation is absurd. Ramana Maharshi Ralston Wilber Adyashanti Buddha & Christ (if they existed) All claim you don’t psychedelics to awaken And they did it without them. Psychedelics are a thing within consciousness, the whole thing is consciousness, it’s you! Why would you not be able to uncover you naturally?

I don’t see what you’re pointing at. Maybe you’re saying that this is all just a temporary experience anyway so why do anything? In the end it’s all just God dreaming so why not dream locking yourself in a closet? The point for me of doing consciousness work (at a baseline level) is that I can slowly and stably awaken and see the fruits of that in my day to day life, even though the day to day life is a dream, I enjoy how the spiritual awakening path is laid out in the human level. I guess the point is that my life gets richer and richer as I become more conscious and the path unfolds itself. Less suffering, misery, etc. But maybe my goals are different regarding spirituality. I don’t like to trip and go into God mind if it’s not going to come with me or change my state of experience in a lasting way

Yep. Honestly I’m in disbelief. And kinda have a massive consciousness boner

Then honestly what’s the point? I have no interest in temporary states, my focus is baseline everyday experience and increasing my consciousness there

Does it feel good/loving?

That’s true. It’s the reason I didn’t do the Apprenticeship. Although I’m kinda regretting that now, it’s his last one

There’s depths to having no self, thinking of it like chipping away at a rock. Also there are faces to awakening, like love, the now, I AM, etc but if you truly die you get them all at once

Frank Yang gives me kinda sleazy and annoying vibes

Hahaha, exactly

I agree, the issue is that once they are in that mindset it can be tough to entice people to pick up values like honesty, integrity, and conscious sexuality. They might call that "pussy beta material". That's a big leap, but I agree, it's totally worth it if possible. Most of the guys consuming Tate/Fresh & Fit are very unguided and lost which is why they fall into these ideologies. One of my life purposes is actually to help young men navigate these waters, so i totally agree.

Learning/Understanding is infinite

Yah, that went well…

Joe Rogan is perfect. His following is open to psychedelics and not religious and will likely have tons of interested viewers. Also, Rogan has done 5 MEO and his following is HUGE

Ah, I see. I bet you could convince and open the mind of maybe 5-10% of his following depending on how you delivered it. You’d need to have yogic texts to back you up so it’s not just one person talking about God realization. But I think it’d be badass

Never done 5MEO but from what I read and see, it doesn’t appeal me much. Seems to intense and quick. Plus I’ve had many awakenings on MDMA and shrooms just fine. Honestly the best is when you no longer need psychedelics at all

Why not Ken Wilber? He does tons of interviews these days on pretty small channels too

Hahah Peterson is insane

When pigs fly

Ralston, Wilber, Aubrey Marcus, Martin Ball (again) They can all talk God in depth

Ah I didn’t think about that. I kinda like how the community is now, I don’t want a bunch of those guys joining

I have to be honest, every time I get online these days it’s like my mental health and happiness go down by 15-30%. I noticeably feel worse and everything feels darker. Maybe it’s my own fault for clicking on click bait things but I also feel the algorithm is tailored for drama and doom. I click on one stupid video and my feed is flooded for weeks with them. I click on 20 wise podcasts and if I don’t keep up with it they disappear. i know the internet is what you make it and you can use it grow or devolve. But god damn they make it hard. All these videos about Simp Betas, public pranking, Israel war, the horrific political situation, war and countries prepping for war, the dystopian state of parts of America, fetanol crises, public freakouts and fights and car accidents, It truly just looks like Armageddon and hell out there Again my algorithm used to not look like this but recently I went into some of these things, just out of curiosity and my algorithm went wild On the contrary, if I turn my phone off, grab a book and coffee, walk down to the creek and just read and people watch. I feel this overwhelming peace and love, this connection to God This is my claim here that I am detoxing these things. I’m taking a break from the world and it’s drama, in truth, none of these things ever affect my day to day and I’m better off just not knowing about it. Call me ignorant or uninformed or whatever but I simply don’t give a shit anymore about human drama. Humans are like children in terms of their evolution and wisdom, nature and my own consciousness is much more profound. I just want to live my life in peace. Anything major I’m sure I’ll hear about. But this doom scrolling and all is like eating junk food or even worse. I wrote this as I’m sure some of you guys might resonate. See this as your sign. Phone addiction is definitely a thing. Random add on is that I feel compassion for these platforms. One on hand they are a business which needs to survive, if YouTube for example started only feeding high conscious material, all their users would go to Tik tok. At the same time it’s at a point where they are beyond just being a business, the consciousness of humanity is in their hands, people use these platforms for news, and info on how to live and perceive reality. They do have a moral responsibility at this point, it’s beyond just surviving as a business, but surviving as a species much love

This book changed my life as did all of Ralston work.

If you know any high conscious stuff, like this site, please share.

JRE or Aubrey Marcus would be cooler
