  1. Ahaha, I simply meant I got tired and fell asleep. It was a low dose. I don’t think it was bad. Mushrooms can be weird. This was an extremely body heavy trip.
  2. @UnbornTao Thought so as well but, clarify lol I guess that’s the major assumption here
  3. The Eight Limbs of Patanjali's yoga sutras: 1. Yama - Morality 2. Niyama - Self purification 3. Asana - Posture 4. Pranayama -Breath Control 5. Pratyahara - Sense control 6. Dharana - Intention 7. Dyana - Meditation 8. Samadhi - Absorption/ contemplation From :The First 20 Hours
  4. It's a shame because he has one of the largest podcasts in the world... I think its the largest by far.
  5. Be sure to write a report to us of your experience!
  6. I actually disagree that it’s too abstract and philosophical to be useful. Maybe you just haven’t connected dots to see how it’s useful
  7. So I’ve been watching and researching Leo’s 3 part series on science and things are starting to click and I’m now diving deeper into reading books on the philosophy of science. If my understanding of science is really 100-500 years ahead of my scientists today… and I’m not part of academia… there has to be loads of risks in the social matrix I need to look out for. What are your thoughts on this? Over the next 10 years with this information I’m going to be entering a new frontier in the merging of spirituality and science. Im trying to grasp what this could mean for my life…. It’s likely gonna take a few years to grasp what Leo is saying, to grasp and contemplate what I am reading. I think I’m being oriented toward this work. warning: I’m not claiming my understanding is more advanced than anyone else’s… just wondering
  8. @Thetruthseeker Thanks, Youtube is a hobby for me. Way to share my contemplations and take part in community.
  9. Love to know what you think I know pot works for some people. Just my thoughts on the matter.
  10. @Tim R For example Qigong has medical and spiritual application. I took science courses in university., and I’m not done with my formal education. however, I am a certified Qigong teacher and I get good results with my clients. The point of this post is that over the next 10-20 years I’m going to be developing an understanding of reality that is far outside what will be consensus. I’m not looking to play the academic science game. It’s just a vision. It will not be easy… even less about me in particular… what if anyone with ideas that are not going to be widely accepted for 100s of years. Wild to think about. Don’t take this as me claiming I’m more advanced right now. I have my own areas of developing mastery but I don’t know that much as reality is massive and sprawling and complex.
  11. Yes, a vision that will take years of hard work, failure, mistakes, discoveries etc Im really interested in something beyond science… a spiritual science…
  12. What dangers are you intuiting? There are some to be wary of. For example when you questions the assumptions and taboos of your culture…. Don’t forget those around you are in their dream and won’t like you questioning some of there assumptions. Especially about sex, science, and religion.
  13. What you consider magical thinking may be right. Or it may be your own biases that you haven’t actually taken them time to verify. It’s probably just a belief you hold. But, at the same time there is ‘magical’ thinking in sciences as well. There is false ideas in most epistemological systems. Partly due to self bias but also because these systems are finite and inherently ‘false’ as all finite systems are. It’s also it like you don’t think you can take these practices to a higher level or do something new with them. You totally can, that’s the beauty of infinity. Humanity isn’t even at 1% of its potential. Having a better understanding of reality in general that most people is something I will have in the 10 years. Very true about pouring your life into it… obviously. New is a relative term. There are new discoveries in western medicine that the Chinese have known about for thousands of years for example.
  14. Oh man, I find edibles can five you some of the worst burnouts….
  15. @Tim R I understand. It is a new frontier within a finite domain of human health. It’s a new frontier, not saying I’m going to change the entire epistemology of the West or anything. But, Western scientific epistemology does have a lot of flaws. It’s a new frontier, but also an old one.
  16. I should clarify that I never stated I was going to change science…. Simply that my personal understanding will soon be more advanced than most scientists in academia. Which, in some ways I am already more advanced than most reductionistic scienctists who specialize in o e field because I have a much larger holistic understanding of reality. I don’t have their technical knowledge that’s for sure but I see things they can’t…
  17. Yeah, what your saying just isnt true though. Go meet a yoga, reiki teacher or Qigong teacher for example. They are not PhDs. But they have practices and make careers out of this. This is an entire world and economy outside academia. And who knows, maybe I’ll work toward that. There are non phds writing amazing books and influencing society. Not convinced advanced science needs the beaucracy.
  18. I think everyone would appreciate if you made those posts. Let’s have this deeper conversation. I am not saying I am 500 years ahead… obviously being cautious is important. I’m saying that If Leo is correct and I embark on this mission of studying the philosophy of science and epistemology over the next 10-20 years that I could be. The more I listen to the 3 part series, take notes and then go listen to scientists I see that Leo has a lot of points. I’d like to see your specific criticisms actually of the series.
  19. Stay safe and enjoy the experience ?
