Monkey is less conscious than a human, so of course when you get hits to your head, your ability to be conscious decreases. There is nothing wrong with it, but it is just a question of what you value in life.

What was before big-bang, is what you are now, in this moment. Everything between was your imagination of yourself. You have imagined yourself infine time in infinite ways and keep doing it to the infinity and beyond. This is the ethernal dance of oneness, experiencing itself in infinite ways.

Damn, this is intresting. I again fell into a state of not knowing anything about god-realization.?

I think Leo can do whatever he wants to do in his platform and that picture doesn't hurt anybody.

There is a lingering sadness in my chest, it feels so heavy and it colours the whole world with a grey colour. It's like a bottomless pit of sorrow, just darkness that never ends. Why it is so difficult to accept myself as I am, why do I need some external validation to embrace things in me? Why can't I just be the way I am? Of couse I could, but it feels like I can't, because it's just the pain of the disapproval of others, that prevents me from accepting who I am. I fear judgements and disapproval of others so much, that I feel like I have to be invisible and small, so others wont notice anything wrong in me. I try to fulfil my needs for love and belonging so badly, that I actually distance myself from them. I just want to be seen, heard and accepted as I am, but I live in a society that produces the opposite effect. Gladly there are more progressive people, than ever before, who doesn't only accept me as I am, but also wants to make me feel seen, heard and accepted. I'm really grateful for them, Finland and especially our capital city is a blessing for me, there I feel that I can be exatly as I am, and express it freely. ?

Pure bliss, mdma might had an influence?

Until you smoke DMT eyes open with a friend and he disappears from the room, then there is a realization that it was only your imagination you we're with.

I have felt pretty tense lately, after my last psilocybin trip that I did almost a week ago, I have felt restless. Psysical body just develops weird symphtoms out of the blue and emotions have been really turbulent. Things are starting to change in a rapid way and the change is scary. I feel really sad because change mens that the old needs to die, the old that I was really attached before. I know that change and impermanence are laws of the universe, but still it feels really heavy. I also know that things will change to the better, it just takes a while. I'm so happy that I have realized things about my life that have been the source of my suffering and about the change that I already see in my life. So long I have been in my own safe little bubble, that I forgot how much I need deep interactions with others and how good it feels. So long I have repressed myself so others could feel better, that I forgot how wonderful I am. All is good, the negatives are just a reminder that better days are coming. Much love☀️?

"Living in a society that tries to make you invisible, you need to work extra hard to be visible." I can't see how their views will hurt children, vice versa, their views will show the children that it is totally okay to be the way you are. Of course it can get ideological, but so does the opposing views, and they usually are even more ideological.

Oh no, not again...?

I agree, porn becomes the problem when people get their sex education from it. Comprehensive sex education should be taught in schools.

This is really intresting topic and it will be so difficult to predict, what the near fututue will look with this situation. I really hope for the best, but there is always the chance that Putin will do something really dumb, especially when he is pushed to the corner and the position of Russian leaderahip is threatened.

What is the benefit of finding examples of fools outside of the self?

Sounds like it would be even more addictive than mdma.

Men are masculine. Females are femine.

Masturbation is healthy for us? But yeah sexual repression can make it feel like it is bad for you and it's just because you think it is bad, even though sexual urges are completely natural. Parts of human nature that are repressed wont go anywhere, they still are there and they will seek expression. That expression will manifest as unconscious behaviour that is felt to be bad, because all repressed things are labeled as bad. When there is more acceptance toward sexuality, and to masturbation as an expression of sexuality, the expression will be conscious and it will feel good afterward.

Podcasts are awesome, they can be listened while doing something else and they're usually pretty entertaining. It is just easy and relaxed way to consume information.

These three comes to my mind.:) When I told my family that I am a bi-sexual. Quitting my old job and booking a flight to India for a backpacking trip. Moving to another city, when before, I still lived with my parents.

Have you thought if you just think that you're not yourself, because you voice sounds different. The concept of "you" has changed. When I start doing something new and I notice change in my "personality", ego responds with fear that something is wrong. You feel like being something different, cause you aren't anymore the concept you once thought being. Now your ego tries to pull you back. Just give it time and it will fade away.

Started reading this and then noticed that clock is 11:11xd Yeah I do believe in them. I take them as assurance, that I'm going to right direction in life. At least it builds trust in me.

This is a realization that I got a while ago, after struggling for years with all kinds of food sensitivities. I was aware of this technique of teaching yourself to see different kinds of food as safe to consume with visualization and journaling, but something was missing, cause it didn't work. Then I had an realization, when I saw that most of the people, who had results with this technique we're more greenish "hippie" type of people. What if the reason for my lack of results was my rational scientific mind and what I need is just blind naive trust for this method? So then I started to journal reasons why example, rice is safe to consume and tried to really hard see it as true. I even visualized how I ate it and felt good afterwards. Then I ate rice and didn't have any irritation in my gut. But after a while little bit or irritation started to creep in with a thought of "how dumb I was to eat rice, now I suffer again". But I applied the naive trust and convinced to myself that, it is this thought/belief that cause the irritation and suffering. I saw how even the smallest amount of scepticism didn't allow me to see through, the belief was so stong otherwise and validation for it was everywhere. It was a success and I repeated it for a while for the rice, until I didn't get any irritation from it. Then I used the same method, for every food that I had sensitivity towards. Now I can eat even bread with no problems what so ever. I don't say that this works for everyone, but internet is full of testimonials of great results with this method and it worked for me as well. Healthy diet in combination of this method can produce miracles. Just throw your rational sceptic mind out of the window for a while and have a try with an open mind. Method: Journal and contemplate reasons why it is safe to eatand visualize how you eat it and feel good afterwards, before actually eating it. + Naive blind trust for that it really is safe and can't cause anything, even if you feel irritation after eating something. Your mind might be responsible for some of your "material" diseases. At least you don't lose anything if you try to see it.

@EntheogenTruthSeeker Damn sounds like you're in pretty though point in life. I agree that it might be good to forget spirituality for a while, until you feel better. Just move slowly, be patient, kind and forgiving. "Sun will always shine after the darkest nights". No matter how far it looks like being, it will always rise again.

Have you tried Byron Katie's work? It can be really useful for questioning your belief that make you feel anxious and fearful. Letting go the resistance for the situations that make you feel anxious can also be helpful, so you can feel fully the the painful feelings that once we're too overwhelming to process through. Sometimes when you just let go the resistance for underlying chronic feelings, they disappear automatically or you get some insight from the situation, that make you understand what really happened. Then you can use the insight to change your perspective for what you're afraid of.

@The0Self Yeah, but forgivness is letting go of the resentful thoughts one holds in mind, until realization happens, that there we're nothing to forgive in the first palace. Course on miracles stated this beautifully, "god is The love in which I forgive. God doesn't need to forgive, cause, it isn't resentful in the first place. You just need to surrender the resentful thoughts to see the love of god beyond.
