Wow that's amazing!

@OBEler hey there. So I have heard of this relatively new, promising technology that is really effective for migrains, and many other issues. It's called "Hemoencephalography Neuorofeedback training" Or HEG training. You can actually buy a machine for home use or you can go to a professional provider. Here is some data from the Wikipedia page: Migraines: "Research with PIR has focused almost exclusively on alleviating tension headaches and migraines. A four-year study of 100 chronic migraine sufferers found that after as few as six 30-minute training sessions, 90% of patients reported significant improvements with their migraines..."

I have also had that insight. I woke up from a nap, into deep peace, and realized that I am not real, and that my life and death are not "real". And I realized that it isn't good nor bad, and in fact nothing matters. Nothing isn't good, bad, sad, depressing, happy... And all of this emotions and judgements are just dependent upon my imagined self and are all relative to and are a direct function of my survival agenda. And I was truly liberated because, I mean it's a little strange but I realized that nothing could hurt me, Because no matter what happen to me that will not really be "bad", it will not make me suffer. And that my death is ultimately not real and is not bad. Yeah so that was profound and then I went on with my day ?

My mind came up with these examples after watching a video where Leo was talking about collective ego backlashes. After decades during which the pendulum of society was swung towards white supremacy, our cultures are now over compensating, swinging the pendulum to the other side, to the point of demonization of white people. A "collective backlash." But with the years it will even and balance out. There might be a point in the future when white people will feel the need to fight the racism against them. The same phenomena is happening with men and women. For so long men have been in a position of higher statues and power then women, and recently with the rise of the feminist movement, men are overly oppressed, at a societal level. It is an over compensation. In the future women might dominate the world, but in the long run, eventually things might even out. What do you think of these examples? Are they accurate? Are they even true in your experience?

No

Huperzine A is known to mess with your dreams and cause lucid dreams. I took it one time and had a nightmare (basically never get nightmers). Where a scary dead corpse ghost was chasing me. Then when I woke up, this ghost showed up in my actual room and jumpscared me like in a horror movie, while I was paralyzed to my bed, unable to move. It was the scariest shit ever happened to me. I actually get chills just thinking about it... So this Huperzine A shit does mess with your dreams, it made my nightmare come to life, Literally... The most effective technique which I have found is the "Wake back to bed". You wake up early in the morning when it's still dark, you stay awake for 15-20 minuets, (this part is important) And then you go back to sleep, paying attention to your imagination. (visuals will apear in your mind and intensifie.) Eventually the visual imagination will turn into a full blown dream, and you will be conscious of it. This is the one that works best for me. Of course it doean't always works, but it works more often then most other techinques

I have a fun story regarding Hitler. I actually have in my house some stuff that belonged to him. So my grand grandfather was a member of the force that broke into the Hitler's bunker at the end of the war. He decided to take as souvenirs: An empty letters sheet with the Nazzi logo on it, from Hitler's desk, a piece of Hitler's broken bathtub, and a plate of his from the kitchen with the writing: "The Fuhrer" on it. Those items have passed in heritage through my family. Just thought it's an interesting story to share. My parents had thought about selling this but didn't do so due to ethical concerns (we're jews from Israel) But it might be worth a couple grants who knows

@Tetcher and thank you as well

@OneHandClap @Ananta @Nahm @ilja Hey, thank you all for helping.

I've stumbled upon Actualized.org 3 years ago when I was 16. I fell in love with the ideas of personal development and awakening. I remember that as a kid, I had this deep desire to know the ultimate truth of the universe, the infinity or formlessness that goes beyond death. But as I grew older I forgot about that staff, and when I discovered Leo's videos, it reignited these sparks of intuition from my childhood, that there's something more to reality. However, as nice as it sounds, in practice, I am quite dysfunctional. In those last 3 years I haven't done that much development wise. I really don't know how to beat my laziness. i have ADD which really makes this journey a lot harder, and in addition I have avoidant personality disorder/ social anxiety disorder, and depression. I've had plans to kill myself pretty much since age 10 or 11. I am currently 19.5 yo, unemployed, live with my parents. haven't graduated highschool, have dropped out. I don't want to take medications and be dependant on them. I want to take psychedelics. To anyone here who have used psychedelics, do you think that they can help me with my issues? Or give me this push in life or show me some higher wisdom in life? Or do you think that I am not ready for them? Do you have any other suggestions for me? Thank you for helping

I've asked myself that exact same question. After watching Leo's lonliness video I was inspired and went to a park for 7 days straight of doing absolutlly nothing. It was cool but I didn't break through to "being" I think. I am also curious about your question fopylo (I have social anxiety)

Here is an update from Tiago https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1272764867858935808.html

I am also curious about that. I have had a lucid dream in which i was in some kind of a campus, walking around in my body, and thought to myself: "i wonder if the imaginary people in my dream believe they're real" so i went into a beautiful room, illuminated by the evening sun through a glass ceiling, and asked a nice young man i there: "do you believe that you're real?" he said with laughter: of course i am real! At that point i woke up from the dream, confused, i have continued with my life.

You will understand how reframing can solve the problem, only when you realise how your current framing has created the problem in first place

Your mind frame controls you. You look at reality in one way, while not being conscious that reality is how you see it. The problem is not in the world but your mind creates the problems in the process of interpreting the world The counter intuitive solution is to see the deceptive nature of your thoughts. Do not trust your thoughts. That's all the beauty of advanced personal development and spirituality. That's why i watch Actualized.org videos. I suggest you watch the episode "how to stop being a victim part 2", and listen carefully. If you grasp the point of this episode, and it clicks in your mind, only then real personal development can begin
