Makes me contemplate the experience he and his daughter were having together before impact and the life to death transition. Makes me wonder about his souls journey, the mastery he achieved at the sport and the impact he had on culture, yet dying so young in a tragic way.

All those questions are conceptual in nature, so they are at the level of belief if not directly experienced. Just because something is at the level of "belief", does not mean it isn't true, that is just the level it is at, factually, if you are honest and open. The book wants you to question the obvious.

In a non dual perspective, there is no our vs their energy or our dreams vs their dreams in the ultimate sense. Dreams occur in the universal mind. You vs a character in your dream is the same dynamic as you vs character in your life, just goes by different metaphysical rules. Be loving to even the scariest characters in your dreams instead of succumbing to fear or anger and see if they turn into something you love. And then apply the same rule in waking life.

Not knowing intellectually is more honest than knowing intellectually, but experientially they both are the same, you can not know something experientially with total honesty but also have a genuine, authentic insight into something experientially which is as honest as it gets.

@Chumbimba You don't remember the experience? Like you took way too much and your memory couldn't handle it? Or didn't really effect you much and you can't recall how it affected you? If youre doing LSD make sure you you test the substance to make sure it is real LSD and measure your dose so you know what it is. Also no need to pussy out of shrooms. Just be in a happy/calm/relaxed state of mind, and measure 1g of dried shrooms. Will not be overwhelming. Definitely don't pass it up. Just be conscious of set an setting, ideally do it by yourself and not with other people or in a loud busy environment.

Kratom isn't really a consciousness enhancer its a mind/body primer or used to do certain tasks for me. Helped me so much with pain and makes low intensity workouts/movement play extremely enjoyable. Can feel the mechanics of my body better. But it does make me very empathetic and sociable so I can connect with people a lot deeper. Although I do use it before meditation or other consciousness practices at certain times. A clear focused mind does make a difference for consciousness work. Never heard or experienced kratom breath, seems like you just experienced your foul morning breath which is totally normal. Its also good to make sure you get it from a quality vendor, one that is certified not to contain any heavy metals or other toxins. Also fun fact tumeric/black pepper/grapefruit/citrus juice potentiates the effect. And the healthier your diet and more active you are the better your body handles it. Once I optimized my diet I never experienced any kratom headaches/nausea or withdrawals/strong urges to use it.

Death totally rocks

I think its because of taking rejection personally. You just have to know 100% that it doesn't matter if someone rejects you for being your true authentic self because others will love you for being just that. Nothing was inherently wrong with you, it just wasn't meant to be but beyond that rejection the options and opportunities are still endless.

If we were in a simulation, our simulation would be just as real as the reality in which we are being simulated. So the chain would go on with infinite simulations. But reality itself no matter what level of the simulation would be pure consciousness.

@cetus56 Those are some spiritual looking cacti!

@Meetjoeblack ..wtf? @TDW1995 Its about doing all those practices you listed but embracing the mindset that there really is nothing to lose, being detached from the result and being content with yourself no matter what happens.

My significant other is Indian, visited once and never wants to go back. Its very under developed, I would think hard about moving there for business reasons.

This thread makes me want to simultaneously torture myself with the most horrid taste ever while knowing I will dissolve in an ocean of love.

Looking at the "alien" thing for a few seconds is precisely the point. You want to wonder about what the hand is actually, beyond the labels and your perception of it. What is it prior to your interpretation of it, what is it made of, why is it there, how is it possible?

Much love thank you. Ebay like the girl that isn't as classically hot but is much livelier in the bedroom.

@Leo Gura Thanks for the insights, I relate to what you are talking about when sometimes its just "off" and its an unknown why.

What were the challenges of the bad trips you've described you had?

These ones were like 4ft tall, what a rip off. Let us know how your experience goes. I've been wondering the same questions about dosage. It might be good to watch the hamiltons pharmacopia episode on peyote if you haven't yet, he eats it raw. I'm also a "bring it on" type of person when it comes to downing plant material most consider gross. Like Kratom, I don't even mind the taste at all I just sip it like a normal drink. Willing to endure the horrid taste for a beautiful trip.

I went to a cactus store last weekend and they were selling large san pedro cacti, got real excited and then saw a single one was near $800.

You're making an ideology about how ejaculating under any circumstance is energy draining and bad. And then projecting it on Leo, who may have no problem with it whatsoever. Its about your individual relationship to it. Its not black and white. Just because that mindset serves you because you used to have issues with it doesn't mean it holds true for others. Human physiology is not that black and white either when it comes to ejaculation. The poison is in the dose per say.

IME its an amazing magical substance that has helped me a lot in different areas of my life, including helping my body with pain and developing more body awareness. I always try to use it with intention not just pure recreation. Definitely important to keep your tolerance low and use it in a well rounded healthy lifestyle.

Assuming you know her in person? Build a rapport with her in person and maybe send her a couple of funny snaps or compliment her in a non sexual way if she posts something interesting. Then ask her out in person, if not possible then on snapchat. If she is less than thrilled to say yes and gives you a maybe or no, be polite and confident about it, and then move on to the next. Use snapchat as a secondary thing after connecting in person, try to only use when don't have another option.

Its one thing to go full on with a ketogenic diet and another to strategically tap into ketosis here and there for the benefits (energy, mental clarity, cellular health, longevity) like doing some longer intermittent fasting on some days and saving the carbs for later in the day, especially post-workout. Wouldn't recommend going on a full ketogenic diet unless you had a special reason or condition. Especially when pairing with intense exercise, your body really could use those carbs at the proper time.

@Aaron p Its definitely a really subtle effect (cacao)
