Start to learn to relax your body and get it out of stress mode, get enough sleep, do yoga, qigong and thai self massage to free up any stagnant Qi.. Eat well,

It's likely relative.

Damn, I feel this. I still miss many of my ex's sometimes. Overall I think time helps, journaling about it and starting new relationships etc.

@Giulio Bevilacqua I used to date a pretty locally respected Kundalini Master. One of the first things she showed me was Breath of Fire to raise the Kundalini.. uhm, If you wanna experience Kundalini I think you can start by listening to a teacher and doing the exercises. There are plenty of kundalini yoga books and online courses you can find. Instead of just wondering 'is this kundalini' go do the practices, read the books, listen to more sources, open your mind up. I don't think Infinite waters is a reliable source ahah

It's like comparing a fire cracker to a nuclear bomb.. (Weed vs 5meodmt) LSD and 5meodmt are qualitatively different. Marijuana is called Weed. 5meodmt is called the God molecule. Let that sink in. Contemplation, insights and awakenings are this ever expanding, nuanced and multi-dimensional, multi-layered thing. You know, just keep obvsering yourself. I can't speak for you experience because it's so subjective.

Yeah, just be assertive. Sometimes we are 'nice' and we end up wondering about all this projection bs. Which is valid but sometimes you just gotta be assertive and tell people your boundaries.

@OneIntoOne I don't know, I generally don't think weed has ever brought me to truth. I usually just get stoned when I smoke it. Stoned, anxious, etc. Where did you hear that weed would bring you to truth? Did Leo or anyone ever say that? It is a tool that can be useful but I personally find compared to 5meodmt it deranges your thinking more, and clogs your ability to actually see the truth. imo. Truth can be scary, but, it's so True I don't think you can mistake it. But, then again nuance.. Truth is Love... Smoking weed for truth is like drinking to drive better. Smoking weed makes you stoned, nervous, unable to focus or really think. Which is why I have quit, though it took some time to do because its so fucking addictive. Though, it can trigger flow states on rare occasions. Like any tool you need to explore it for yourself. I wasted a lot of time with that substance. Used rarely can be very enjoyable and spiritual though, weed. Everything in balance. I think it shouldn't be used chronically. Just makes you stupid. 5meodmt cleaned me out! Sober days ahead. Sooooo grateful that 5meo exists. It's really miracle when in the right hands. 5meodmt is like TRUTH. So, different. Which, can be terrifying ahaha but also beautiful. Always trip responsibly. Great questions! these are just my opinions.

Yeah, that is the whole thing. Observe it. Projections go outward and inward. Even as I write this, I am projecting.

That is because it's weed and make you anxious. Wouldn't really consider it a powerful entheogen. Though, yeah you can get good insights.

This is something I am working on too. I think you will find that there is a lot of not knowing involved with human relationships. But the thoughts, projections and emotions we deal with are always a chance for greater self understanding and cosmic insight. Don't take other peoples reactions to heart, or waste time worrying about what others think. But, do become an apprentice of human behaviour. Projections are happening all the time. Use other peoples reactions as lessons for understanding yourself as well. This is the whole trap of looking for others for validation. Become grounded in your own truth, open heart and thick spine. One fool asks another fool for an opinion and gets a fools opinions. Maybe ground yourself in how you want the situation to go, and just go with that. I usually lead with kindness and openness once I ground myself after an awkward situation. But, if the other person is to caught up in ego and projection blaming and demonizing you. Just, step back and do your job. Be kind, but they aren't your responsibility. Simply observe. Breath. The amount of time and joy I've wasted worrying about what others think of me is sickening. Almost all human interaction uses 'transference' (the umbrella term projection falls under) because other than our physical bodies we are interacting with these highly complex social games built off past experiences, future expectations and often unconscious rules and self images... Most people are so concerned with themselves, self reflect little and have moods, tempers, expectations of others that are just ridiculous. People have so much going on under the hood... But also, self reflect and check yourself maybe you were being ignorant as well and need to adjust how you treat co-workers. The sooner we ground ourselves in cosmic truth the better imo. Obviously we want healthy relationships but that starts with more self understanding, and not looking to control or pick apart the motivations of others. If I notice myself projecting, which is always happening but sometimes is less accurate than other times I generally start using "I think" or "I feel" or "I want" or neutral observation statements instead of telling someone else they are projecting. This is because it's always happening anyway and this way I can communicate in a more non-violent sort of way. My general rule of thumb is to understand, be understood and create harmony with those around me. Storms are inevitable and mistakes will happen. But, if the other party is too busy playing ego games to communicate then, there is not much you can do.

@nistake There are many paths of Qigong as it is a large umbrella term which includes many forum of Qigong, Tai Chi, Tai Self massage, Kung Fu... etc... I personally have chosen to follow the student of Mantak Chia, named Lee Holden! He teaches a mixture of medical Qigong, spiritual Qigong.. The focus is on less stress more energy and regaining our power. I find this Qigong to be very intuitive and practical compared to Tai Chi! https://www.holdenqigong.com/

Man, I personally think that the Fabulous app changed my life a few years back! Designed by the university of Berkley. It's more in depth than you think. Give er a try! https://www.thefabulous.co/

A lot of my family that was raised christian say this to me. They think self love is a sin, akin to neurotic narcissism. To say "I am God" or "I love myself" is something a lot of christians I think find threatening because... maybe they have a devotional, exoteric lean? Probably hard to convince someone who has the fear of God within them otherwise. To me that is the real Sin... to put this Golden Calf as your lord and saviour...

@jim123 There are layers to this questions. 1. If taken all the way it means realizing you are God, but, it really means cleaning up your metaphysical connection to what is the case. I personally think you can drop all the spirits bullshit. There are energies for sure... Is raping children killing children what the bible teaches? Because the christians did that here to the indigenous children in my country. We found what, 3000 unmarked graves? When did Jesus ever fucking tell anyone to take children from their home and then torture, abuse, take their culture from them and kill them? Leave dogma and religion behind imo... It can be useful, but the devil is in most religions. Spirituality does not refer to 'spirits'... because everything is Spirit. It CAN refer to spirits, but that is dualistic. I think that Leo's teaching are non-duality which means its all you. You are God, so learn to love and understand yourself. It's gonna be hard. You are the Holy Spirit. Take responsibility for yourself.

You don't need to rush into anything. Focus on school, developing the skills you need and developing a healthy clear mind. Focus on enjoying your youth, building your foundation. Mental clarity, self love, good habits, healthy relationships, etc... Its all connected. With enlightenment you can think 10-20-30 years in the future. You are so far ahead of other by already taking the LP course and working your ass off. You can still meditate, do Yoga, Qigong, etc... The sooner you start Qigong the longer you will stay youthful and your mental and physical health will excel and carry you with a higher level of youthfulness. You want to now build a foundation to add life to your years. Take the idea of understanding finances over the next few years. You are at the perfect age to begin mastering it so you don't have to worry about money and wage slavery when you are older. Having money and understanding it frees you up to do whatever you want. If you study enough, develop skills and understand how to learn and develop skill rapidly you will be a super power. Plan, enjoy, have fun, explore your passions, meditate, etc Build your foundation. Enlightenment, mastery of mind, esoteric wisdom, etc... It's a huge sprawling exploration!

Symbolic language is inherently problematic. Beyond the word God... We all have unique data bases... Have you ever read a book on a subject and then had to argue with a fool who never studied that subject at all?

Been dancing to this! gets into my hips!

By the sounds of it

What are you saying? 'Random serb'? The spiritual path is sprawling, nuanced, counterintuitive, and takes time to unfold as long as you show up consistently. It's just this right now. You can't really mess it up. Just, relax.

Everything Now!

Lol, good luck walking the mindfield of nutritional science. Be open minded and base it in direct experience. Find the balance between practice and theory.

Don't be so sure. People have no idea what they are getting themselves into sometimes. I would say that a lot of people who take psychedelics are really immature.

@lambofgod182 I binged watched the crap out of these a few years ago!
