Thought Art

You can work other peoples Qi if you are trained. I prefer Qigong to going to reiki, but may try it again.

I've known a few.. Abuse looks ugly... Like anything I don't think it is all bad, and it does have some medical benefits. Psychedelics are useful but they don't REALLY fix anything either. Though, the insights they have given me radically inform what I am doing. They are a tool... need to be used wisely. I like pot sometimes... But, it has to be rare. If I smoke it I may end up back at the habit. It's also a habit that arrises for me when I am challenging my homeostasis. Instead of smoking its time to a nap, walk, putting in the work I am avoiding etc. I think smoking weed chronically can fuck with your motivation mechanism as well I prefer a healthy set of longs, good posture, healthy self image, doing actions each day that develop my self esteem. I prefer to cultivate a healthy Qi. Frequent use shoot my self esteem because I value sobriety and healthy lungs. Pot is addictive. I've had some great experiences with it, but also some negative. However, I don't really know. It do think it is a plant teacher. I consider it a spiritual tool. Just needs a LOT of respect.

I love that life is capable of beauty

Sometimes the best ideas are when you go out to Hubs, or meet ups where other creative types, business people, etc hang out and meet them... opportunities will just happen out the sky if you are motivated. There are also a lot of books out there that speak about low budget start ups. Maybe there is a skillset you can begin developing now that will help you if you don't know exactly what you want. Administrative, accounting, habits, time management skills are always useful. Life purpose course helps too..

Lung health and clarity.

How has awakening through psychedelics or whichever, helped you in your emotional mastery. I know you are already rather grounded but I am just curious.

Hey everyone I just got a job with a Law firm as an accounting assistant. Excited to learn about Law and to deepen my accounting and administrative skills. About to get my Qigong certification in the next week or two and I just started a online coaching course... Things are going well. Keep the Car Running!

He's an attention seeker

I used to want to be a musician and to share my art with thousands or millions of people. But, the more I look at the price of being someone who is well known I realize that is just too much of a burden to carry. Maybe I am letting my fear win. But, I want an enjoyable life. I think I simply have to many fears and vulnerabilities to be a person who is famous. I don't really know what this means for my life because I have now spend many years trying to become an artist. I think I am transitioning to being a Qigong teacher focusing on high ticket small volume. Even then I've been feeling paralyzed by these fears. I don't know if they have any truth to them. I personally find the social world to be very terrifying. I just wanna live a simple, good peaceful and enjoyable life... But, I admit as well. I'd love to live my dream. I just don't trust that this is a world where dreams come true.

Survival and fear about what may happen. Not accepting reality as it is.

@Terell Kirby Each day I improve my ability to manage stress. However, I have some cognitive blocks or self image issues that seem to be more stubborn. Also, simply dealing with the uncertainty of fame. There is a lot for me to contemplate here. I don't really trust the universe and the way the world works enough that if I become famous musician it wouldn't be a net negative for my life experience. However, it is my highest calling and fantasy and I am actually really good at it. I am focusing on Qigong for now as it it less fame oriented and helps me to develop my stress management and to help others do the same. That makes me happy too. I cry tears of joy after teaching a good Qigong lesson.

@mandyjw I think so. I think my main reason for avoiding fame is to maintain more privacy and control in my life.

@Flowerfaeiry I mean, I will do both. But, I am not gonna master music for no reason. It's fun to play, but if I am not doing it full time I'd rather do something else. @Max8 You are right. But, there is a way to do it. I've played festivals, and had tonnes of opportunity and have lots of great connections. It's something I consider in reach in my life if I want to do it. The biggest problem I have is fear. @Terell Kirby You are right. It's strange, being a real musician, or professional artist was my dream. It may still work out I just need to clear up my mind and limiting beliefs. But, fame? Fame isn't worth much. What I really want is a life of love, serving others, happiness, creativity, and a sense I am contributing to the world in a positive way. I want to limit stress out of my life, and live a beautiful existence. Music is on the back burner. Any job that requires fame is just too stressful because of all this cancel culture and stuff. I am a pretty liberal/ stage green/ pro love person. But, It's just too risky.

@mandyjw Lol there is part of my point It's honestly a good song though lol she was a kid

I don't drink Dairy personally. Nutrition science is full of devilry and culture, ego, and bla...

I used to like Ralph for a few months. He used to be more positive back then ,less conspiracy.. But then I found Leo and others and now I am off doing my own thing

Those are great insights and match up with a lot of the ones I have had. I find myself doubting my experiences with the days that come after a trip. Reading your trip reports shows me I was not alone in these realizations. Or, I imagine I am not lol. Thanks for the report. I can have these insights say, during a trip. But then I am trying to survive and create things. Plus I am still maturing.

I needed to hear this. I admit this is one of my biggest struggles when it comes to relationships. You can't control what someone wants to do with other people. As long as you area a great high quality guy you shouldn't need to worry to much about cheating. and if it does happen, what does that even mean?

We got this! It is possible.

I agree here. I think too much Leo made me expecting to much from the trips. Had I just heard about them a little bit I may have been more grounded. I agree though. Precede with extreme caution, care, maturity and balance. Start low, go slow. The experiences if you start slow go low and surprisingly benign in my experience. But, anything can happen. Enter at your own risk.

@Carl-Richard Interesting. I am increasingly wary of these tools though I respect their healing benefits.

I realize how important money is when pursuing a life purpose. I feel a little frustrated by my current financial situation. There are some mentoring programs and courses I want to take to help me to escape wage slavery but can barely afford. I am considering taking a risk here, but when I do the math I am cutting it so damn close. Wage slavery is not easy to escape. I am doing the math even with my new jobs I am applying for. You don't make any money. You get paid to work basically so you can keep working. I might be able to pull something off here. I will be working 8 hours and then 3 or 4 hours when I get home. But, I am making a push to start my own online business. I just wish I had 10k dollars more than I currently do. But, I am where I am and must take responsibility. Had I had this vision 10 years ago and knew what I know now... That is one thing about God I don't understand. How in it's infinite wisdom would it get me into this seemingly pickle? You couldn't of seen this coming? Guess it must be part of Gods plan. Let's see how I pull this off. There are options I can play with. It just may take longer than I want it too. I think more accurately than reality being a love simulator, on a practical level it's an investment simulator.

Is this considered promotional?

Yeah, the life purpose course is great. It gives you a powerful vision and mindset. Completing it will change your life. Then, for maintaining momentum I use productivity apps, and coaches, or training that the specific areas the LP course help you to see. The LP course is like an amazing set of glasses.

Are you saying there can be violent breakdowns on shrooms?
