  1. The more I am doing Qigong, and developing my awakening practices the more I am enjoying having quit smoking weed. Weed can be a spiritual tool and it has many uses. However, I am making a post about the benefits of not smoking Here are 10 I have noticed. 1. Cleaner sleep 2. Clearer thoughts 3. Actually having to feel how you feel and face yourself 4. For those who smoke... Healthy lungs are so important for having a good mental health and healthy Qi flow. 5. Higher self esteem 6. More productivity 7. Deeper meditation and Qigong practice 8. Savings as you are not buying the stuff 9. Greater connection to emotions and increased confidence 10. It opens a door for a new spirituality chapter. You don't know how healthy you can get! aha
  2. All hands on deck. Looking for a life purpose that matters? Doesn't have t be drugs but... it can be making the world a mentally healthy place.
  3. I mean we did legalize marijuana as a country a few years ago. I think magic mushrooms are next over the next decade. The grey market selling baked magic mushroom goods has already began... similar to what happened with pot. Police are also more understanding about personal possession of illegal substances here. They are more and more wanting to help you than harm you. we have 2 or 3 major parties that are in favour of de-criminalization. However, the liberals are moving slow, and are likely to work hand and hand with communities that are dealing with it before they straight up de-criminalize it. Which, i think they should decriminalize all substances that people have for personal use. However, in Canada if its something like mushrooms or weed the government will likely only legalize it if it can control it and sell it. Meanwhile, all these street drugs kill young men and women everyday. I mean, people are going to do drugs. We just need to get them the right ones. Maybe so they don't need them. Plus, drug use is a holistic mental health issue than just the drugs themselves so its really even more complicated. We need to lower the stigma around psychedelics. Especially mushrooms the science is just overwhelming at this point the biggest thing is just education. The public opinion is changing and will continue to do so. We have had years of drug war propoganda that needs to be undone. There is billions to be made off of mushrooms so and billions of people to help with them. So, lets goooo. Note: It may be less to do with spiral dynamics but also the actually law, and regulation structure of the country? I don't know how it is in the states but I think in Canada the substance act is federal. I don't know if provinces can legalize things by themselves.
  4. If you are gonna do a substance... Do them sparingly, with intention and... Only do the Good Shit.
  5. Meditation does help. But you can only really know when you are in the state. It's always shocking to a certain degree. Meditation for at least 30 minutes I think is crucial. You want to be already sitting, letting through go by and carry that mindset into the trip. Surrender and enjoy ahah It's going to blow your meditation out of the water as you ramp up and get to see the real side of things. I personally have no had luck with plugging but that may change in future.
  6. I mean, what you think is petty at sixteen... you often end up seeing the grand importance when you are looking back at your folly when you are older. It's on you in the end. It's your life. You are young and you don't know what it's like until it's too late. But, who knows what will happen. My opinion is to wait and be wise. There is a lot of other things you can do to expand your mind like meditation, yoga, Qigong, breath-work, journaling, reading spiritual and self help books. But you are lazy are you? Acid is only gonna make that worse. I ask because I thought I read that you are not interested in school. No. Take full advantage of being a good student now because it's your education that will make or break you. You are at the age to sink your teeth into building a powerful foundation for your life so you can explore these substance from a safe grounded place when you are older. Without the foundation being built now, and diving into these substance you may be jeopardizing what could be an easier, more enjoyable and grounded future as a young adult. Focus on building skills, discipline, mastery, and a vision for your life. Taking some drugs isn't wise imo at your age. The odds of foolishness or abuse is really high. It was for me, and I tried them in my 20s. I've had to go through a maturing processes of understanding these tools. A passionate, meaningful, joyous life, is built on life long leaning, clarity, patience, balance and wisdom. You already lack those things often at 16. I know it seems like an exciting and novel thing. It's not really.
  7. No, Ying yang theory is not as simple as yang masculine yin feminine though that is correct. For example Day is yang, night is yin, Up is yang down is ying, hot is yang, cold is yin etc... For example extreme yin makes your thoughts foggy, dull, slow, makes it hard to focus and recall memory etc. I am still learning about yin yang theory and figuring out its applications and possible dogmas etc. The Yin Yang is always contextual I think. There is nothing wrong with being extreme yin from time to time. But, being extreme yin when you need to be balance yin and yang it can create problems. Plus smoking it is hard on the lungs, which makes it really hard to regulate your thoughts, emotions, to think, plan, feel safe etc Yes, really it's all about balancing yin and yang in all areas of life. NOTE: After quitting weed I went through a really really a painful psychological withdraw, Weed can be addictive don't believe the dogma that it isn't
  8. I find myself at times attaching superstitious meanings to events, objects, etc and I would like to stop doing this. I think I have a tendency to attribute special meaning to things like guitars, yoga mats, tools, books etc when the meaning only exists in my mind. I know from reading David Hawkins books Truth Vs Falsehood he speaks about how objects actually have meaning in and of themselves which I resonate with, and would like to continue being more unattached from objects. Like my books smooshed a bug in the front two pages today, and there is blood and my mind keeps attaching it to future events, making up stories and meanings none of which I really think are true. This way of making up meaning in my life I would like to end as I feel it takes from me my soverignty and power. Also, I read a book called Blue Fishing in which the other mentioned he never understood why people attach meaning to objects and events etc. What are your thoughts on this?
  9. This doesn't seem to be the case though if you look around the world as it is. Which is God. There are also some good Christian Parables that show Gods love does include the harm of people.
  10. God is not seperate from the person. God can only know itself as the person in that domain. a couple hours, years, or days a torture is nothing to God. Just a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop within a drop.... ad infinite
  11. Is that the right context in which Leo speaks of Gods Love? Ramana might hate it. But, God will experience every last drop without hesitation.
  12. There is value for the adventure of going somewhere. But yeah, its pretty cheap. It's legal in Canada which is great.
  13. From the point of view of God, which is the essence of all possibility @Tim R Yeah, I mean from time to to you could do that. If I had forever I would do everything for awhile. Which I guess I do, so here we are!
  14. I mean if I am honest with myself All I have ever wanted to give to, or receive from reality is Love. If I was God, I would create only Love.
  15. I am 25 now, so I would love to be doing my LP full time by 29 or 30. I think I can do it. I know what I am offering is needed and growing in popularity. I am going to take these things and package them in a unique way for people. My parents aren't that educated, so I've had to do a lot of basic emotional mastery, relationship mastery, etc work on myself. I grew up in a very shame based environment. I am grateful for the past few years of experience I had being an artist, playing festivals, starting a business etc. It was hard AF. But, I am learning, maturing, grounding, becoming more realistic and will continue to refine without pause.
  16. Okay. That seems realistic to get to the point that I am making a living off my business. But, getting to a point where I am completely free to study and create whatever I want... 10 years. I feel like I have grown a lot internally this year, going through everything, cleaning up my habits, mindset, etc. I can do this.
  17. @Leo Gura Developing a business/ escaping wage slavery will take me 10-15 years. I know this, so I must continuously work through my ignorance and foolishness as I refine my vision and systems. I don't know who to believe in this very complex reality. I must gain the experience through experimentation. Ideally I take only calculated risks that maybe are less expensive. I am still really just beginning to mature into all this. Thank you for your feedback today.
  18. Other than possible harm to the brain my main concern is... You are already young, open minded etc.. You don't need to open your mind more beyond that. It is only going to create more confusion imo. But, no one here can stop you. If you wanna risk opening your mind too much go ahead I guess. In this world, if you aren't in school, studying, developing skills, gaining work experience etc... Then you are a dead fish in water. These substances are great, but you need life systems and maturity in place for them to make sense in your life. imo.
  19. It isn't outsourcing but coaching me through the process of developing the systems myself. On facebook for example, there is all these aspects of the how to systematize for client acquisition that is rather dependable. I think he would teach me how to read the analytics, how to organize the funnels, create brand and market the course and hold my hand along the way. I would be doing all the marketing but someone would be teaching me how to do it as I go about doing it. I would like to make the process easier, and have these structures in place. It seems like there are many types of courses you can create and he provides a lot of resources on it all. I would rather pay 3k for it than 8k. The course is actually like 6k American but I am in Canada so it's way more expensive for me. I have been in plenty of group on facebook that seem to use a similar model as his, so I know he at least knows that much. There is probably a more cheap process I can take. I am new to business and It's not clear who to believe yet, I want more direct experience. Okay, I will take this into account regardless. I have plenty of time to do more research and look at my options. This guy could just be trying to monetize off wanna be yoga teachers. But, his content seems pretty good. Learning to monetize facebook groups seems like it could be easily put into a science. I will continue to do more research as the months progress. I would share a PDF he provided here but its too large.
  20. I still don't know if I like the word Love. Love seems like a part of reality. But, all the suffering and bullshit, That is also part of reality. There is probably a better word than love. Just because you are loving reality doesn't mean I do. It seem to relative. But, I know Leo is like "Being unbiased totally it God's love" Sure. And I am God, yet I have a human existence. So, It's interesting and True yeah. But, Idk I guess I am selfish. Which is fine I don't need to get trapped worrying about such things at this time.
  21. It's not breathwork. I use breathwork as part of my course I am creating, which he is consulting and providing resources, systems, and guidance in creating. I don't know online business, course creation, marketing, facebook groups, ad creation, client acquisition, etc so for me it's worth having this all laid out for me. Synchronicity is basically an online marketing course combined with consulting for course creators to find high ticket clients. I only need like 5-10 clients to more than pay for the 8000 dollar ticket price. It is risky but I am in the business of high ticket client acquisition for the first few years. I am going to be able to use this skill set for the rest of my life. The online space for these types of courses is expected to grow by billions of dollars each year over the next 5-10 years. This is the perfect time to be setting up my holistic health brand. I'ts high ticket... But the courses I will be offering at 3 months and I know the techniques work as I have done plenty of studies, read scientific research and seen the results of the clients I have already worked with. However, in terms of timeline idk. If I don't learn marketing I will never be able to break free from wage slavery and become a massive value provider in the world. I've looked at the PDF documents he provides, and peered into the actual course material. He sends out daily emails, and does weekly session for free on his facebook page. He knows what he is talking about as I have read some marketing books and shopped around a bit for other consultants/ businesses helping you to develop an online business. When you take the course its really well laid out. To me, 8k in the long run of my life long learning is nothing. I have nothing else to spend the money on as all my free time the next 5 years is going into setting up my life to escape wage slavery. So I will be buying online courses to get my hands on all the information to create this online brand. I am going to teach at least 10k people these skill sets in my life... I am not gonna be broke doing it either. What I am offering works and is worth the ticket price. If I am going to be master my craft of Qigong, breath work, self massage, Yoga, journaling, meditation, etc, plus working my 9-5, plus having to teach myself on my own all the systems he already has learned and bundled, plus develop myself some stage orange balls... it would take me 5-10 years. So yeah, I think 8k is worth the risk. We will see. The sooner I have free time to put all my work into creating the best value for my clients the better. People after my Qigong sessions have told me "Wow, I didn't know I could relax this much. I feel much better than before we started" etc It makes me cry honestly, as someone who struggled and sometimes struggles with my emotions to help people relax, improve blood flow, breathing etc its just beautiful. I am prepared to work on this for the rest of my life. My research is showing that people NEED things like Qigong if they are ever going to feel relaxed in our modern world. Qigong may sound stupid to outsiders, but its such a practical and powerful system for long term and overall health. Science is showing this too.... My mother works at a nurse call centre and the recently had Qigong people coming in and showing the nurses Qigong. So, its being accepted even amongst the western health paradigm. And for good reason... If you think Qigong and breathwork is simple... you don't know what it is. These things take hundreds or thousands of hours of practice, reading, teaching etc to be able to do it well.
  22. You only got one brain if you are taking it the risk is on you You can't undo it.
