Quit it

@BipolarGrowth @WelcometoReality Am I correct that this is pretty much the realization that "I" am not the doer of what my body does? I've had this realization before and its clear as day even after only a few mins of meditation. This is more like an actual change in my perception.

@Seraphim I have never heard of that but the description I found sounds pretty spot on only it doesnt feel disturbing at all when it happens. Feels more neutral and I cant imagine it becoming any kind of problematic situation. Also says that it happens mostly in teens and very early 20s. My behavior also doesnt change at all when this happens but it does seem very non-personal(if thats a word.) But i could be wrong. Have you had episodes of Depersonalization-derealization disorder?

This is all you will end up doing IF it does anything beside make you roll your eyes at yourself in 5 years. I was talking to a friend at a park about when i left behind the Christian faith and some random goofball walked up to us and Quoted some bible verse than walked away. Dont be that person. What if I said; “The boundary between self and other is imaginary, so you’re really just annoying yourself”

Depnds on your intention for the trip. Are you trying to heal childhood trauma or have a spiritual journey or just looking to have a good peaceful time?

This, and also it is not quite as easy as people think itnl is to keep the pipe EXACTLY the perfect temperature the whole time to avoid burning some of the dmt. Wonder if this would also vaporize harmala freebase for a changa journey?? I know it has a slightly higher boiling point than dmt. Anybody know?

I have went from an emotionally unstable, homeless, self-mutilating alcoholic and drug addict felon to an emotionally intelligent parent with a great large home and great car. I have been taking my passion of self expression thrpugh art seriously and am now an art teacher and teach recovering addicts/alcoholics, the mentally ill and veterans with ptsd how to express themselves through art. I'm meeting other members of the comunity who are also into art and yoga as well. This entire process took less than a decade. Needless to say people are all so proud of me. But I'm not at all. I am not depressed or depressed about it but I'm not proud. I dont feel much at all about it really. It's been working on one thing and then straight to the next and then straight to the next and then straight to the next. I've been given the advice to celebrate my victories, both big and small. I have no idea how to do that I feel like every moment needs to be go-time because I feel so so far from where I want to be and to get there I'm going to have to GRIND . On one hand, ive been very productive and came far but on the other hand I feel like somethings just not RIGHT and I am not at peace. Any advice or similar experiences that you have overcome?

@Focus ? SPOT ON

You also have to do it more frequently and continous to keep the positive effects unlike psilocybin. Just something to note.

Thoughts? Actually seems to make sense. A very short summary is that you can just tense your biceps for 10 seconds at a time a few times throughout the day and that this enough to gain larger biceps.

Running meditation! It's like walking meditation but instead of walking you're, well, running.

@mojsterr took the words out of my mouth.

Good example. Its something people actually still do and genuinely believe even though we know now that it's totally false.

I 100% agree with @vizual . MAYBE it works. Sure. And if you are interested I encourage you to try it but there's really no reason to believe that if will do anything. You're going off of really really old and outdated pseudoscience.

@MarkKol

@BipolarGrowth Hahaha ?

I missed that. Thank you. Crazy that they did that. Hope things smooth out.

Anyone heard an update on this? I'm right in the middle of the course. ?

I would have to say no. But only because the qualities I was looking for in a woman were things that were very conceited, neurotic and slefish. I think this is common when people have an idea of their "perfect" partner. Having the urge and willingness to grow together, I think is one of the main qualities of my relationship and before the relationship that was not a specific quality I was searching for. I don't think it ever goes how its imagined.

This really is brutally blunt but spot on.(typical Leo ?)

I'm with the woman of my dreams. We met randomly on accident. Have been together for going on 6 years and have wonderful children. Tons of great family time and trips. It is really a beautiful thing. Remember though that no good relationship can be smooth all the time. You will have sometimes have disageeements and thats ok. Only YOU can do that. Sorry but that's the truth.

@MarkKol Einstein's greatest realizations came to him while playing his violin. You missunderstand art. "Imagination is more important than knowledge, knowledge is limited while imagination encircles the world."-Albert Einstein Why Albert Einstein would not have created his theory if his mom didn't make him play violin:https://www.cnbc.com/video/2019/03/15/why-albert-einstein-may-not-have-created-the-theory-of-relativity-if-his-mom-hadnt-made-him-play-the-violin.html

Not even giving these fools a click.

Enough about Eckhart Tolle and Sadhguru Who are the best spiritual teachers that most people have never heard of?

@Leo Gura or are you just trying to tell me to do the work and stop getting lost in theory? I'm definitely guilty of this.
