Yeah, that is tough. I think you simply serve within your niche, refer people to the right specialists if something happens like that.

Great video, very very grounding

There is no shame in being confused. When we are taking a deep existential inventory and asking deep questions it's totally normal imo. Then, as you reach the shore after a long night in the crashing waves... you become a lighthouse for others.

Actually, I think in some of your videos you make it seem like it would. At least it could be easily construed that way. Had me confused for a minute as I considered the possibility. I didn't buy it, but I was like... What? What the hell am I being told by this person? Like, maybe you don't make it clear which You/you you mean when you speak. So, for me I am still wondering wondering if God realization is just a neat thing you can do for fun vs just living anyway. I guess you need to pursue truth for it's own sake. The ego wants to be able to manipulate etc Upon rewatching maybe I'll see them differently but it was a little confusing at times. Like, maybe do a video on what a grounded path to awakening would be like to smooth out the edges.

I enjoy Rumi. Reading the Essential Rumi a year or two ago was very insightful.

It's full of a lot of references to different symbols! You could spend hours learning about each one. The star on the left there:

"I can't get my head around it.. I thought I found it... But I found out I don't know shit.."

I am still wrapping my head around it. You say Love, which maybe I am slowly groking.

Do You I am biased towards learning the hard and soft skills of certified experts. But there is no NEED it just helps imo

It is worth learning some of the meditation techniques, guided visualizations, etc to give people a well tested toolkit. But, it's sort of up to you. It's a wild west. https://mindisthemaster.com/the-5-best-online-meditation-teacher-courses/

Depends on how you go about teaching... Can you create real tangible, positive results in someones life consistently? Are you grounded, and in integrity? Are you knowledgeable? You don't need to be certified, but are you? You can teach what you know... and learn as you teach.

Sounds about right Namaste

God's a freak! Look at how praying mantis do. God has no sexual bias because it is all sex acts possible.

Mr. Nobody

I know you are in the psychedelic awakening space right now. I am just wondering how much you have read about Taoism as am I really resonating with it. I love the Yin Yang theory, and the views on consciousness and holistic health approach. It seems to confirm a lot of your insights and teachings. Wondering if you recommend any books also.

Yeah, maybe when I wanna become a table I'll smoke it... But, I am interested in infinity and love, and being free of the ego. It's more ideal for my work. I am still learning about it.

@Endangered-EGO Man, are you being responsible right now? This guy has been spending time in a psych ward, people are worried about him. He has bipolar disorder, and who knows what else. There should be no feeding of this persons Ego. He has nothing to teach but his on delusions of granduer and immaturity, or psychosis. It's just parroting at this point. Let's let the guy recover. He is no teacher. I think this should simply be locked.

I've never said it... but maybe ill let you know one day. Maybe it depends on your goals. From the trip reports, it's qualitative elements are not of interest or priority atm for me. Also, can this please be a dick free zone? We are not comparing our psychedelic dicks for sport rght?

I actually don't know much about Saliva. Will read later. I am saying that we should try other substances and gain direct experience instead of being closed minded. He is claming to know what others know, but he himself has no reference experiences of these other substances. I've only really read Martin Ball's opinion on it and a friends trip report. Which, he said was like being brain dead ahaha I will read soon.

Zen Devils should ground themselves and chill. Don't be that guy.

Focus on your growth and purpose

I didn't know this was taking place. Let's turn this place, each day bit by bit into the most loving respectful place on the internet.

You aren't crazy from the sounds of it. Just working through your process.

I know the forum means a lot to you. Just try to relax and step away. It's going to be alright. I have to be honest wit you though... I found you a little mean/ toxic with the little interactions we have had tbh I haven't had those types of comments directed at me by anyone else on the forum... So it is worth reflecting on how you also interact with others. but also some really positive interactions with you too. It's because we are human. Yin and Yang. Don't act like you are perfect and others are the problem. I have very positive interactions here all the time. But it is a public forum so, you will get mixed bags. You also generally get what you put out. The forum is young, the teachings are advanced. This is a slow process for everyone, for me and for you and everyone else. But yea, it's good to step away. Take care! If you come back, itll be nice to see you around. Sounds like your not really leaving anyway aahah If you don't want people reading the journals that is why paper journals and applications like OneNote are for. So, maybe just try that so they are private? Maybe just take time off the forum and focus on your well being. It's not really all about you, and it shouldn't be making your life worse.... I personally enjoy the forum to be surrounded with topics I find interesting and to grow myself. Not so much the drama that is on facebook or something like that. Lets all try to keep maturing and being spiritually mature adults.
