The collective ego of humanity. Everything we’re talking about here marches to the beat of that drum.

I’m already a Latter-Day Saint, according to the church’s official records. AMA

Both of them are right, but this isn’t likely to help you much from where you’re asking the question. The most likely way to connect to your higher self is to develop love. The more total the love, the closer you are. Shoot me a PM if you want any pointers on that process.

Honestly, this is the best we’re going to get. Yellow Leo Turquoise Leo It appears the best way, according to the limited data we have, to make such a transition is to go from 5-MeO to 5-MeO + Hot Baths ? Seriously though, penetrating ever deeper into God Consciousness is the best way to make a yellow to turquoise shift. Considering Leo turquoise is still probably not accurate according to Leo’s view of turquoise. I’d say this is due to the need for him to embody God Consciousness more in his baseline level of consciousness, but in a lot of ways, God Consciousness goes so far beyond any notion of turquoise.

@Phyllis Wagner The basis on which they are constructed is as solid as thin air when viewed from a perspective which is different enough from your current understanding. To us, the helicopter example doesn’t make sense. It’s too extreme. To a helicopter, masculine and feminine don’t make sense. They’re too extreme. The reality is that there are “sentient beings” which many people have reported which are more different from humans than a helicopter is. You’ve gotta step outside of your own box far enough to see that the example is an understatement if anything. How does a uranium-based asexual life form without DNA which sustains itself through the consumption of grass fed black holes view masculinity and femininity? If you can’t see how that example I just gave is infinitely less imaginative than what is possible, I can’t get you to see it from my point of view.

It’s a strange loop. You as God created all conditions for Existence. Existence then operates based on the qualities it was given. Your ego is placed into this setting. Whatever choice it has in the grand scheme of things is infinitesimal compared to how many factors were chosen for it. If you examined every single factor that went into your ego’s existence and the reality it is within using Infinite Intelligence, you would clearly see what is going to unfold. God created all of the factors which allow your ego to choose exactly how it does. It even created the factor for your ego to achieve God Consciousness and over time contribute to creation in increasingly more impactful ways. When sodium reacts with calcium to make table salt, it is acting according to the nature it was given by you as God. Your ego is like sodium which has a desire to react with calcium due to its nature. That desire and ability to react were all already put in place by you as God. You (God) created the conditions for your own (ego’s) enslavement to its modes of nature. The desire to awaken is a condition of nature. The ability to awaken is a condition of nature. Everything is natural. Everything is you. Including “God” and “ego.” If it’s all you, how did you not have infinite free will which includes the ability to limit your own free will by creating conditions for the unfoldment of Existence?

It’s all a construct. Just because it’s a construct doesn’t mean there isn’t a foundation from which it arises. He made it very clear that the gender constructs are incredibly useful. They are useful because they are aligned more with our current sets of constructs. If the idea that you’re alive is a construct, how is masculine and feminine somehow more primary than that?

This is why variety is so important. Different perspectives tamper humanity against stagnation as well as progress which is too rapid. As much as I think full legalization of psychoactive substances with proper regulations would be a huge benefit in the end, if my radical position were immediately adopted, it would cause way too much drastic change for it to be worth it. The downside of the status quo being stagnant in this sphere is incredibly problematic too. The tug of war of progressive and conservative stances ultimately exposes the limitations of each biased perspective in important ways. We are certainly going in the right direction, but this is only due to the balance which is created by the opposition and competition of worldviews.

@emptiness dancing looks like a good resource. Checking it out now. Thanks ?

Yes, this is the case for MOST religious people. Ultimately even what you are saying about the true nature of God is still a type of idol regardless of your past direct experiences of the true nature of God. Whatever comes to mind when you think of that word is an idol of sorts. It’s more nuanced and developed than the religious idolatry, but it is still likely finite and contained simply by limiting factors of your current state of consciousness. Simply the word or idea “God” is itself the idol regardless of who uses it. The thing is you can be in direct experience of Infinity, and in that moment, the idol has been replaced with what it was actually pointing to. The point is, when you or I who have had direct experiences of the true nature of God think of God, we use it as a catalyst to bring our current direct experience closer to the awakened state. Religious people do the same thing, but they’re mostly wrong about what their idol is pointing to whereas any mystic is going to have a less intellectualized and more accurate route of connecting to that which is pointed to with the word God. There are still a minority of religious people, mostly those with a religious foundation but mystic-like aspect to their approach, who do come quite a bit closer to what the word God is actually pointing to when they have deep devotion to their chosen idol. In all cases, the idol stands as a means to come closer to God. That is the purpose of the idol. Everyone has a slightly different idol burned into their mind to represent God, but most are so far from the Truth that they often just lead to meager or even counterproductive results.

You might find interest in this part of my story. The Grays - My Story of ET Contact I kept it out of the original post as it adds even more esoteric or generally unaccepted themes. The point in the video isn’t necessarily that the content or conclusions made at the time are 100% correct, but even in a much more stable mental state over six months later the correlations are still astounding. The progression of this phenomena went in the long sequence of events described below. Many significant events are left out of this rather long account. To anyone reading, I’m not promoting the mixture of psychotic mental illness and psychedelics/spirituality. This almost cost me my life and did cost me tens of thousands of dollars, friendships, reputation, employment status to name just the main things. It’s a high risk, high reward approach which wouldn’t be wise in relation to most people’s goals. The key thing to note is that all of these questionable causes (mental illness, alien abduction, psychedelic use) which could be simply explained away as productions/delusions of my own mind actually resulted in drastic changes to other people’s direct experiences which are not capable of being explained by this same “it’s all in your mentally ill, drug-ruined mind” mentality a skeptical materialist might use. First feeling of “clairsentience/telepathy” in 1st or 2nd grade for a brief moment > Hyperrealistic alien abduction dream fueled by fear of aliens (with significant sensory experience outside of dream making the event feel undeniably real to an 8 year old) > Lifelong fear of aliens comes as a result > Brief experiences of “clairsentience” occur during teen years and early 20s, still wholly unaware of what this sensation might be > Bipolar disorder type 1 diagnosis at age 18, first glimpses of higher consciousness states occur as a result of manic episodes > First “spiritual experience” outside of extreme mental health states occurs at 19 in a 1 on 1 meeting with the leader of my childhood church, this leader gave me a first direct experience of God’s love > Spiritual seeking begins at 19, find actualized.org videos at age 21 > A few manic episodes happen from age 19-22, becoming more spiritual and higher consciousness in nature than previous episodes > Try magic mushrooms at low dose, first psychedelic at 22 > Manic episode two - three months later triggered by rigorous spiritual practices & self-improvement in diet, exercise, rapid spiral dynamics evolution > Mental health stabilizes a few months later, heroic dose mushroom trips begin > First experience of God Consciousness/Realization, far beyond any experiences to this point > Manic episode triggered one month after as consciousness raises due to Realization > While hospitalized, on two separate occasions, “nonphysical/telepathic” emotional transmutation occurs with two separate individuals — see video in above post “Are you a bipolar empath” for more context > First endogenous God Consciousness experience occurs during this episode & first instance of perceptible inner brain changes occur > One year goes by without manic episodes > 10 tabs of LSD awakening to God Consciousness, radically more potent than prior GC experiences, results in manic episode after the trip > A few months later I go to my first ayahuasca ceremony, a fellow bipolar person at the treat discusses their benefits from stopping bipolar meds after their previous ceremony > I stop taking medication, within a two days I become manic > I get the intuition that I should attempt to make contact with ETs related to childhood abduction, the fear of these entities which far exceeds my own fear of complete ego death is now confronted > I find a lengthy video about these aliens and how to initiate/allow for telepathic communication with them > Within three seconds of opening myself to this communication following the simple singular step given in the video, the same “clairsentience/telepathy” sensation experienced earlier in life comes to a degree which is as intense as any psychedelic or manic experience I’ve ever had. It lasts for three hours. This occurs without the use of any psychedelics or substances which would produce such a strong effect for me at the time. It is an incredibly intimate and positive connection. A key thing to notice here is that I faced my single greatest fear. I believe changing this fear into love for these entities had a lot to do with awakening this capability for telepathy to such a high degree. As time goes on, this capability exists regardless of mental instability, psychedelics, or even higher consciousness states > I continue to have telepathic communication with the same ETs. It begins taking a new form as I not only feel the clairsentience sensation, but I also feel the physical-seeming sensation of my brain literally folding into itself and moving within my skull. I begin to experience the clairsentience/telepathy sensation with other entities like deceased humans > I have severe manic episodes on and off for the next four months experiencing things which literally put space, time, and the laws of physics into question, this stuff is so radical even the most open-minded person I could ever expect to meet would likely not believe me. Picture driving east on the highway at 108 mph (max speed of a Prius ?) for three hours to then find you have not moved more than a few miles from your initial location among similarly ridiculous things like the physical teleportation of objects or charging your phone without an electricity source from 5% to 100% accidentally during meditation with someone there to witness it > One point roughly a month after the first ET telepathy experience, I’m asleep in bed next to my girlfriend who is awake. I sit up, while fully unconscious, and say to her something like “5424, we are here for you as well” before laying back down without any conscious control or awareness of myself or body. She immediately is sent into a psychedelic trip without consuming any psychoactive substances and tells me of what happened as I wake up > I have a joint clairsentience/telepathy experience with my girlfriend’s mother while we are spending time together who has had mild psychic abilities for quite some time (this event was sparked by following an intuition — following intuition is a key theme that has been present in many of the early clairsentience/telepathy experiences) > By January 2021, four or five months after the first ET telepathy experience, I’m very mentally stable and on a great balance of meds. The clairsentience/telepathy sensation has become relatively dormant although it still comes sparingly. I do not yet have much conscious control of generating this. It appears clear that the manic state acts as a catalyst for this phenomenon. > March 2021, I have my most significant and intense clairsentience experience as my girlfriend’s uncle dies from a seizure hundreds of miles away. I lived with him for half a year, saw him frequently, and knew him well. It’s clear to me that he found the ability to communicate through this mode within minutes after his physical death > My clairsentience sensation comes daily ever since > I have the intuition to see a psychic/tarot reader > The day that I decide to get the reading done, I have strong clairsentience sensations for three hours leading up to the reading > I meet a woman who does this. My only question for the reading is “what is the sensation?” (I exclude all backstory before asking in hopes to get a less intellectualized response). She pulls 10 tarot cards. A traditional deck has roughly a 50/50 split as far as what may usually be thought of as a bad card vs. good card put simplistically. All 10 cards she pulls are blatantly positive cards which is quite improbable. As I describe the sensation and my experiences, she tells me that she was exposed to the same clairsentience sensation roughly a year ago as it became more prevalent over time. As I feel the sensation during the discussion, she notes as she feels it at the exact same moments as I do without me saying that I’m experiencing it at those times. I describe a memory of a positive spiritual experience I had, and as I’m describing it, I have the identical emotional feeling of the memory. She describes how it feels to her as I’m feeling it, and her description is spot on. As I leave, she tells me that I should try to hold onto the clairsentience sensation and prolong it whenever I feel it > Now, in May 2021, I have developed significant mastery over the clairsentience connection compared to before. I can now generate it most of the time at will whenever I desire. I’ve even shared it with my mother while we were on a car ride. She’s felt it before plenty of times, and it likely has a unique feeling/manifestation for her. She describes it as the Holy Ghost within her personal spiritual context. After years of mental illness, high dose psychedelic experiences, and interactions with ETs, I can now experience a spiritual bond with my Mormon mother which transcends the division between her faith and my spirituality. How ironic and cool? Thanks to whoever read this in full ❤️

To awaken this type of capability in someone generally “unprepared” for such things is definitely difficult. I’ve only done something to that degree a couple times which I talk about in the video I’ll post here. These individuals might even have some innate ability in this domain which allowed for it to happen. I’ve never been able to consciously generate such a connection and then transfer it to someone without any experience in this area. The cases where the two people seemed to have no experience with this stuff happened completely automatically although guided by a strong intuition which was trusted in the moment. A connection between bipolar disorder is made which is clear why when you hear the context, but it is not a requirement in any sense. You may simply see a slight to moderate correlation between these things due to how certain conditions relate to kundalini awakening as one partial explanation. Generally any sort of effective spiritual practice will make one more and more susceptible and likely to experience such things regardless of genetic illnesses or other predetermined factors.

I think Reiki would be quite interesting. It seems that these type of “nonphysical” types of abilities for communication and interaction amplify the more you come in contact with others who have experience in these domains. I’m certainly trying to spend more time with such people in the future. A Reiki class would be a great place for these types of interactions. I’m glad you see the value ❤️ If you have any questions about this stuff, feel free to ask.

The benefits to holistic thinking you can derive from content like what I’m sharing here isn’t content about the meta aspects of holism. Leo’s recent videos and even many much older episodes can help for developing that meta foundation. These examples simply serve as high-quality yet still entertaining resources within their respective spheres. These are still primarily stage orange sources, but with the proper meta foundation, what is learned through these can be applied to certain more holistic theories and serve as information pushing your mind to accept the sheer nuance, complexity, and sophistication that exists even within a seemingly limited domain. The video shared above combines food allergies, mental disorders, physical toxicity, and misinformation leading to death or near death. This specific YouTube channel is run by a physician who retells rare and extreme health stories through the lens of an expert. It’s incredibly entertaining. Health is of course a very large impacting factor on one’s life and how consciousness unfolds. One interesting thing about the series is how it shows the ineffectiveness of the current medical system to treat atypical situations. It then shows how current medical knowledge is capable of explaining how everything is happening on a cellular and chemical level. The issue is that in most cases doctors are doing the correct steps to preserve life with the knowledge they have and partial contextual information they were given. There is simply too much probability that the cause of the issue is a typical illness or condition for doctors to jump to these more rare causes immediately. This shows that the issue in proper response is simply caused by a lack of utilization of a sufficient amount of typically already understood information combined with a need for more contextual and prior health history information. AI is already being created for tackling these problems. If we see an exponential increase in AI sophistication, which is likely, there will come a point where this unfathomable intelligence relative to the average human is able to diagnose health problems that no single doctor could do as well. This channel features experts, usually in science, who describe their career focus on five levels of complexity. One of the points of this post is sharing sources which are educational while still having entertainment value. It can be useful to take breaks from some of the more effortful practices at times and simply relax and take in new information which may further support your ability for nuanced understanding in the future. Even understanding the limits of these perspectives can give a lot of value.

The intellect has a huge impact on this work. You can experience the nature of existence directly through the catalyst of jnana yoga. Usually jnana serves as a great part of a spiritual practice. On its own, it might not be the absolute best method, but it certainly can be effective.

There are so many great lessons here. Cultivating love and devotion for the divine is such an effortless and pleasant spiritual catalyst compared to many other techniques.

I’ve never heard Sadhguru give a nuanced and fair depiction of someone outside of his system in these types of examples. His tactic seems to be to simplify the opposing viewpoint so much that it seems ridiculous.

Why would you ever want to debate someone anyway? Share perspectives with each other, sure, but another person is not some entity you have to sway to your beliefs. Every human being has wonderful genius within them and many unique capabilities and strengths. I’m quite happy there are so many materialists running around making survival easy for me through their addiction to productivity. I’ll work on experiencing unimaginable higher consciousness states while you make the main products/goods and services I need better and more affordable. You get to have more digits in a bank account while I get to experience and generate Infinite Love. What a great deal! I’m sold!

Nice. I’m starting to see limits to the spiritual use only attitude toward psychedelics. If you’re a spiritual person, it likely cannot be only a recreational experience for you. You obviously spoke much of the spiritual effects of this “recreational” use. The trick that I have found is to find a way to make your spiritual work a recreational thing as well. I LOVE contemplation and radically different states. I LOVE talking with people about spirituality. As these things have become my favorite activities, I’m always practicing in at least some way or another, and it is mostly quite effortless. Not everything has to be serious. One of the main reasons you’re here is to play ?

Meh

-I haven’t heard of anyone with this specific situation. -It sounds similar to what I experience in some aspects of mania or hypomania. The euphoria can snowball itself, and the brain ends up finding usually unhealthy ways to continue to supply itself with more and more dopamine. -Avoid stimulants if possible. Use the methods you’ve already found to have some benefit in as balanced of a way as possible. The trick is to get yourself to do as much of the right activities as you are likely to sustain. Going too restrictive on yourself in an attempt to completely solve things can just make a relapse type occurrence all the more likely in the future.

Just psychedelics alone won’t do that much in many cases. It’s the synergistic effect of multiple techniques that seems most effective for me. Once you realize the core truth of it all, this solves a lot of things. It puts Liberation in a light where it’s recognized to always be there so fully that pushing the ego to perform activities to reach it in a permanent way in one human lifetime seems like a guy on a picturesque mountain train ride who is yelling at the conductor to go faster toward the destination.

As the ego loses its grip, the superego naturally takes to the captain’s chair. Of course you’ll want to act selflessly as you become more conscious.

It is a possible cause for serotonin syndrome which can be fatal. Mixing an SSRI with an MAOI such as the ayahuasca vine can be fatal. This is the medical consensus. Find out the half-life of your current SSRI and multiply that time period by 5 to know when your system is sufficiently clear of the SSRI. Some psychiatric medications can be combined with certain psychedelics, but you should always look into possible interactions. Search the name of your medication and the psychedelic you plan to take online to look at potential interactions. Another recommendation would be to ask your doctor about the interactions. It can be unwise to stop psychiatric medications to use psychedelics in many cases, but this is ultimately an individual decision. Be smart about avoiding potentially dangerous interactions by doing a solid amount of research before experimenting. Many people have found the psychedelic experience worthwhile or even positively life changing even though they have a mental illness. Don’t be surprised if you become unstable due to this experimentation.

You speak of “your body.” Who owns your body? Does the body own the body? Your consciousness... who is the “you” who owns this? Is it separate from this consciousness you speak of? Have you ever experienced it without using this consciousness?
