@EugeneTheSage Interesting. I don’t fully understand these things, how much is placebo, how much is energetic. I know that Sadhguru is very energetically powerful. I used to do his consecrated singing at one point and felt things I never had. It’s hard to remove placebo from things. But, we are the placebo Having certain materials on the body is likely to affect your Qi as Sadhguru says in other words. The Ring finger is the liver meridian, may be worth reading here. https://sage-answers.com/what-meridian-is-the-ring-finger/ And this https://www.yogapedia.com/definition/11621/ring-finger-energy anyway just glancing over this

Here is a great talk about addiction, low integrity and then becoming a person of integrity. Where ever you are right now, keep walking your path.

Always take safety precautions

Idk, I don’t think you’ll die from a trip permanently. That fear may hold you back from your deepest experiences.

Read the richest man in babylon

There are interviews where he admits a lot of this, or at least suggests a lot of this. He talks about how the girls aren't allowed to leave, how he had to hide his phone and delete things last time he was raded etc... I think he will go to jail.

It's cool to wear brass rings in theory until you kill someone then spend the rest of your life behind bars.

One rejection at one school says nothing of what is to come next. Keep trying.

I thought that this was one of the best episodes in a long time. I think that Leos' videos: 1. Understanding the Exquisite Balance of Life 2. High Conscious Politics Series 3. What is Wisdom? 4. What is Integrity? 5. as well as many others That there is a great synergy becoming apparent in my mind of how these videos come together to be greater than the sum of their parts. One of my biggest take aways was really seeing the importance of conservative principles in a balanced life. Seeing the pro's and cons between Liberal and Conservative ideas I found really grounding. I think hearing Leo talk about real, 'healthy' conservatism and its appeal and power to be comforting and true given my own liberalism and the suffering and cons that came with it. I am seeing a bigger picture here which I am going to be making more explicit to myself over the coming years that comes down to a 'divine' balance in life. I am beginning to see a... what is it called.. Transcendent perspective on Politics that is above being on the left or the right, or heavily driven politics based on pop cultural issues. Really, both Conservatism and Liberalism are Yin and Yang, important dualities that are divinely inspired within societies that allow them to survive and yet evolve. The tug of war between liberals and conservatives is actually at it's pure form healthy. As it is in ourselves as individuals we want to balance our liberalism and conservatism in a healthy way. Depending on our upbringing and survival needs this shapes in what ways we are likely to be on either end of this duality. To what degree should we open gates, try new things and allow ourselves freedom with finance, sexuality, identity, art, drugs etc? And to what degree should we stick to what works? We simply don't know. But, each human is a bit different in this regard and each strategy comes with it's own pros and cons. Conservatism is actually in a lot of ways.. if what works works... more safe. Yet, at the same times somethings changing a way can be safer in than old ways. But, that can't be known. There is always the "fog of war" as we go about new ways of science, new ways of living, new ways of politics, new ways of identity, new ways of etc. The problems exist in society when each side doesn't understand each other. As well when our societies poor epistemology and state of mental health, and education etc being affecting how our society operates... Essentially what we see in a lot of Conservative politics in the US is corruption unfortunately and doesn't portray what healthy conservatism is and what role it plays in a healthy society but also in a healthy personal development. There is also a lot of corruption in left politics as well. Many people who are mentally ill begin playing identity politics which I think is very dangerous and part of my own conservatism around trans ideas. I am pro trans etc, and yet I do think there is a lot of mental health problems in that particular community as well as low levels of personal development that leads them to care so much about how others think of them. But, I am open to the realities and importance of feeling accepted, safe, seen etc as a human. It's complicated. Some people, both on the left and right are conservatism in that they want to conserve their identities. The duality between left and right does collapse as all dualities do. The healthy/ unhealthy of society too is it's own ying and yang. The balance of healthy and unhealthy. Though, this duality is asymmetrical in quality to the conservative/ liberal duality. It would require much more contemplation to explain that idea here. Liberal vs conservative also need to be held to the light with: Spiral development, ego development, mental health, education, spiritual develop etc. I have been learning over the past few years the importance of conservatism for life long growth. That, for me personally my liberalism needs to be rooted in a healthy conservatism to keep my healthy, sustained and evolving over time. Being too liberal can be very dangerous because what so much that exists in the social matrix works. However, when we are exploring reality and doing deep philosophy there is the importance of the willingness to take risks. I have seen myself with regards to certain ideas in reality gone way way way outside of society in terms of my openness, triviality, etc go too liberal to be even safe to share those ideas with the most progressive people. In some ways my ideas would make liberals relatively conservative. So, I have been actually working to make myself more conservative over the past 2 years. This talk on Liberals and Conservatism can give you a greater respect for everyone in society as you begin to see the value in their different perspectives. It can also show you how you can begin to balance out your own life. When you apply spiral dynamics, Susan C's models with balancing a healthy conservative/ liberal approach to your life there is something deeply powerful in that. As well as developing a other healthy personality traits not measured by these models. Balance, consciousness and love.

Wooooow

@Jehovah increases Basically. You can and have been dreaming forever because reality is dream Reality is my dream. Challenging immersive RPG. but, could be anything. God could dream itself as an infinite whirling twirling orgasm if it wants. life could be dream life could be dream

@Jehovah increases I’ve never committed suicide so I can’t really say the difference. a strong 5meo trip is like… gives me a sense of what suicide is because of the nature of what THIS is. if final death is anything like a 5meotrip…. ?

My two biggest fears: Death and pain/suffering though, death is really what I desire. Not suicide though.

@Sempiternity I found that after doing 5meodmt and other psyches, working on your ability to love that vaping a bit of weed oil is very powerful… The problem with weed is it’s addictive nature i remember realizing the idea of holons while on a hike after a good smoke session. I like weed. I’m keeping a distance from it though.

Huh. Yeah, weed if respected can give amazing states and insights.
