@Leo Gura yes ok, it might not be a chair in the very narrow sense but you can have a 'chair' that can be positioned in such a way that you can sit as I explained, slight tilt, feet on the ground (which makes it more comfortable for your back) - think e.g. Swopper (not sure if this is a thing in the US?) or saddle chair.

@Leo Gura I am not. You can sit so high with a slight tilt of the sitting surface that your knees will be below your pelvis, feet on the ground. If your pelvis and knees are at the same level, your lower back always has to work to keep you straight. But if it works for you, that's good!

@bazera @Leo Gura the trick is to have your knees below your pelvis so that the pelvis can rotate 'back up'. this will help you sit straight, whether you are cross-legged or not. But Leo, this chair seems way to small for your knees to get below your pelvis. maybe it is just the angle from which you photographed it? I had a knee-injury so thank you for encouraging chair-meditation.

@Leo Gura is there going to be an episode on labor in the future? that would be great.

@OBEler what I meant is the part 'since you cannot take psychedelics anymore'. I seems like you mean Leo cannot take psychedelics anymore (maybe due to health condition or whatever).

what do you mean? @OBEler did I miss sth? by the way @Leo Gura - will you resume posting on the blog?

@Sugarcoat @ExploringReality guys, this has nothing to do with the topic.

@martin_malin what if they are not what you thought they are? are you open to that possibility? watch some of the NDE Research Project videos. do you think you will meet Jesus on the other side? how do you know it is not an entity masquerading as Jesus? @Natasha Tori Maru thanks, going to have a look. so you had an NDE?

@PurpleTree but this will affect you if his analysis is indeed correct. this is not like a meditative or a psychedelic experience that can rather easily be reproduced. you literally have to die for you to come into that situation. that is why there is no way around relying on other people's accounts. all that is in your hand is taking the reports seriously or not and hence being prepared when the experience comes or not being prepared. I recommend watching some of the videos on this channel. without that we are not on the same page.

@PurpleTree fair enough, but you ignore information at your own peril. how many people do you need to be in congruence on something before you consider that there might be sth to it?

@decentralized

@theleelajoker of course it's not the same for all humans. but there seem to be patterns as he shows on his channel. he certainly has a lens, a hypothesis, through which he filters the NDEs he watches. but maybe sometimes we can go a bit above or deeper than saying 'who knows?' when patterns emerge.

at first I thought this is too weird, but the more videos I watch, the more it seems like something is going on. I want to hear your opinion on this. I guess it doesn't change anything about the ultimate nature of reality. but most of us are not operating on that level of consciousness and we might find ourselves in these scenarios when we pass over after death. maybe I should issue a warning here - this is serious black pill stuff, so if you are not feeling good mentally, you can come back to it at another time. this I found the most disturbing one so far (the being pushed part). it is not an NDE but a pre-birth memory. check out his channel - NDE Research Project.

@Chadders found this guy on YouTube. he also sells protocols for different problems. he has some views that are maybe controversial and he is quite convinced of himself. but it seems he has a lot of experience and has made a lot of effort to study papers. themicrobiomeexpert.com
