Thought Art

@universe Yeah, I think it'll be fine...

@universe Yeah but his sentence is a little over kill. With risks like that Id rather just stay home.

Is that article real? Why not just educate the young man. This Jamie guy isn't as innocent potentially as the above article makes it out to be... https://asdaddy.com/2019/10/25/fake-news-how-much-can-you-trust/ Sounds like he was grabbing booties in the area not just one girl he awkwardly tried to make friends with.

Thought Art hits the town

@Leo Gura Obviously. Okay thanks. That is probably the best advice.

Where did you get this idea from?

How often are you folks rewatching the course material or going through the exercises or the collections you made? I read through some of my collections and I think I have changed a lot since I took the course. I am more mature, realistic and grounded than I have ever been... I will be redoing some of these exercsies over the coming months and updating my collections. I think it's recommended to do some of these things once a year so I may do it for new years.

Qi

Yes I enjoy that 90 day process as well. I will be updating it.

@itachi uchiha Interesting. I love Robert Greene's Mastery. I think that is one of the things I like about the LP. I finished the course. I would get up at start at 6m at a cafe and work for 3 hours monday-friday on it. Really enjoyed it actually. I will return and update the collections and statements soon. I don't really think you outgrow parts of the course though. I think that you may change your values, interest etc as you grow and mature which is healthy. But, I think a lot of the concepts are universal.

It definitely seems I must live as it others exist.

Yeah, you will be back! It's shocking when you dive in. But, It's also very comfortable...

@Aaron p I actually really want to be the only thing that exists... I like to be alone and creative. But, I can understand the fear.

... Keep your work and school relationships professional only. Don't shit where you eat.

Hmm, What was outdated? I didn't find that at all.

I personally think that awakenings are well shared in retrospect. I keep mine private. I may talk about them... But, it's something that doesn't land well with people in sober states most of the time unless they are familiar with this work...

I recently watched these videos: This to me suggests that infinity contains all infinities and grasping that leads the final paradox of absolute perfection and love. There being 'one' infinity is a dualistic concept that collapses, which is paradoxical as infinity encompasses everything. There is only one infinity and it includes and transcends itself infinitely in all directions forever and even beyond forever. Forever is a finite thing it imagines there is an infinite forevers. Even Infinity is only drop within itself It created itself but was created and was never created. It's nothing and never existed but is the only thing that exists and is everything Where does infinity go? Nothing can exists outside of infinity. If my life is the design of this intelligence... What do I have in store for myself? What did I create for myself to experience? What else would infinity be or create but love?

1. Treat this as a serious spiritual endeavour 2. Follow all safety protocols discussed in safety mega thread 3. completely surrender and just enjoy the realization of infinity and Love. Namaste

Hey Everyone, I am opening up this Psychedelic Safety and Protocols Mega thread because It's apparent to me that many people using psychedelics do not have the tools or resources for proper safety protocols. It is important that as a community we put safety, protocols and mature usage first and foremost in our relationship with these substances. Many people likely have no idea what they are getting themselves into. Let's discuss risks and best practices. I personally have had a few strange experiences that I would not like to repeat. I may share these bad trips/ reactions on a future date so that others can know what to expect. Even with protocols or experience the deeper you go you never know what will happen. I do not think there is any shame in having a bad trip or having a strange reaction. What matters is that we avoid these types of potentially dangerous situations and become lighthouses for others who may repeat the same mistakes as us. There are basic overall protocols when it comes to using substances in general but each substance carries with it it's own unique set of precautions and considerations. I will make another post shortly listing what I have discovered personally works as good overall protocol and of course Leo has many videos discussing this subject as well. The days of psychedelics beings something that foolish young people do is coming to an end. At least within the actualized community. We are heading toward becoming good examples for anyone interested in pursuing psychedelics as a way of spiritual growth and personal development. Some of these substances are so powerful that they can be terrifying and confusing. People around you who are not tripping will not know what is going on with you. Optics are really important at this stage as psychedelics already have a bad name in society. The only way we can change that is by being mature and grounded ourselves. This is a thread that is intended for mature conversation, sharing of articles, videos, online courses etc are proper psychedelic use, safety measures, integration tips, and other resources. A lot of people are likely going to be tripping by themselves which means that many people are vulnerable to harming themselves which is why I think it is very important people are doing as much research as possible. Every person will have their own unique set of reactions to these substances. Let's turn this thread into a high quality resource to keep both us as individuals and others safe, and the name of these precious and amazing substances safe. Let's be wise, mature, grounded and scientific in our approach. Will post more soon. Personally I am only really experienced with 5meodmt but would like to hear more about other substances as each has their own unique risks.

The Tao Of Fully Feeling Night friend Let us all allow this process to unravel as we walk each other home.

But, wouldn't not identifying with the body be a duality you are creating? I think what I am saying is to find that balance because you may be swinging really far into one side of the map. I don't identify with my body, or my sex. I identify as the entire universe. But, It also depends on the context and circumstance. The body is a microcosm and reflection of the entire universe. For a human, in some way the entire universe is actually held within your body. I think I see what you are saying. I don't disagree with you that it's probably a useful thing to no longer identify with the beliefs and self image you have about your body and it's traits. I am interested to see how this works out for you. I personally just think from direct experience of trying this that this isn't a solution entirely, but only a piece of a larger puzzle you are doing. My thought is that fear of weakness, loneliness, pain, need for protection, fear of what people think of you, your identity... These are pretty human things to work through and I don't think they have to do with your body but your cognitive health, spiritual health, self image, and your connection and cleaning of you Qi (a lack of balance in the body can lead to these mental and spiritual health issues). I just think that all those things you want to get rid of... They contain treasure in them if allowed the time and space. Letting go of our identifications is useful. So is allowing what is. So is changing our relationship to... Hope that it gets through I am not disagreeing I think that what you are doing is going to reap benefits for you. I just think that you can be the body but change the way you relate to it in a healthy way instead of totally unidentifying with it. Your body is your most direct access to the universe and it seems dualistic to not identify as it. I will remain open minded though. I probably don't see what you are saying we likely have different maps and operating systems and use of these words.

@Random witch Well that was a projection. I am just speaking matter of factly from my perspective. Sharing that, the key is in the body and in your self image for a lot of the problems she listed, from my opinion... I don't see how listing matter of fact things from my research and experience is arrogance. But, It's just text so projection is normal. I personally, at this moment don't see how that not identifying with the body is a solution to those things she listed entirely. I think it's just a strand of a largely puzzle is all I am saying... I enjoy helping people. But, can't please everyone. Gonna keep growing a thicker skin to other peoples interpretations.

@Random witch Well, she didn't explain how not identifying with her body would solve any of those issues. I think I mean, I don't understand how your goal of identifying less with the body relates to those things listed. Seems like maybe its part of it but I am learning the total opposite. That, on some level not to identify with the body... But that most of my trauma and stress is held in the body... Plus the cognitive process. The body actually holds the key to a lot of those issues, plus if you do therapy, read books related to those issues she is having. There is also a lot of benefit from practicing cessation (my assumption of your goal with your non-identifiying meditation which will have benefits too) However the quality of your Qi, Organs, meridians, acupressure points, lines of tension, posture, breathing technique all these things tie in to your feeling of safety and well being. Then, maybe doing self image and self love work depending on the root cause of the eating disorder... Each practice is going to address a single strand in those issues. There is probably a time for cessation and not identifying with the body... and a time for developing a deeper more loving and holistic relationship with it because it holds the key to a lot of your well being and neglecting it more may have the opposite effect than you think. But, Maybe I still don't get what she is saying... open minded to my assumptions.

I am not sure I understand what your goal is?
