When I lived in Mexico, I had a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house by the beach for $400 a month. When I was sick I would go to the pharmacy doctor which was less than $5. Even a ayahuasca ceremony was $100. In America they charge $1000 dollars. America is one big ripoff and you have to work longer to pay for the inflation. If you have a programming job, you could live in another country and work remotely, then reduce your hours. Medellin Colombia is also becoming popular for remote workers.

The reactive mind is still active under most psychedelics. It doesn’t go away. The voice inside is still chattering. So you enter into a state of hypersugestibility. You will have nonsense combined with the true intuitive knowledge. You have to learn to distinguish between the two. In my most recent mushroom ceremony, I came in contact with my authentic self and realized that my authentic self always knows what to say and do in any situation. The experience was overpowering and real.

Stop telling yourself that you aren't good enough. If you don't believe in yourself first, nobody else will.

The video was excellent, but the tip toeing around the “h” word underscores a problem. Even when you become more aware of the arbitrary constructs of society, you may then just end up frustrated because there are real world consequences, sometimes severe, to contradicting these constructs. As the video pointed out, it is about survival. I have found the easiest way to get more freedom is to live in countries with other cultures like Mexico. But the globalist trend is to spread fake Western reality to the entire world. Creativity will be necessary to self actualize in an increasingly intolerant world with a single uniform reality forced on everyone.

I did a holotropic breathwork seminar with a facilitator who was trained by Grof. I recommend it. But medicinal strength mushrooms are at a different level.

I heard Owen talk about it in one video where he said that getting rejected can create a natural high, in that, you get to the point where you let go and don’t care anymore and you are finally free. I can see the similarity between psychedelics and social exposure for somebody overcoming social inhibitition. They both require a “letting go”,that is, a willingness to face the unknown and surrender control.

Men here complain a lot about mean women, but I haven’t seen it. If you have a competent approach and good behavior they either will talk to you or move on. They are socially intelligent and fun to talk to. Once you move to the next level it is jealous men that you really have to worry about.

The term “cold pickup” is a marketing term. It’s bad marketing. When done correctly, approaching a woman in public that you desire is a spiritual practice.

Planting the suggestion that someone is damaged and can't be healed is itself a satanic mindfuck that has been profitable for depth psychology shrinks.

I was almost going to make a thread on this. I have strange synchronicites happening on a regular basis in my everyday life after my two mushroom ceremonies.

If the faith leads to liberation, yes.

You will never figure out what God is through language. The mind just endlessly spins. Worship and rituals are actions which communicate through feelings. Zen goes beyond both. The religions aren’t as dump as the modernists think they are. They have been around thousands of years for a reason.

I recently had a conversation with someone who is further along the path than I and has healed himself. He said the plant medicines were a big factor in his healing. He also confirmed what I have discovered from my own path: establish a relationship with the plant teacher, and it is between you and the plant medicine. You don’t need or want anyone external to you giving you interpretations. They are always misleading.

I'm not sure what orange dating is, but I recently had a 25 year old woman ask if she could be my friend after I told her about the "inner child". Women are very open to spiritual concepts if you explain it in a way that can be understood.

If you want a serious relationship, she could be a great girlfriend. If you are interested, one thing you could do is test her. Don’t go on dates. Do activities that don’t require any money. See if she is still interested in you.

I was in an a small group led by Brad Blanton many years ago. Radical honesty is the way to go in a relationship, but it is difficult for most people to actually do.

Approach a lot of women and keep a journal. Do this like a scientist. Gather data and notice your feelings. Experiment with your behavior. Eliminate supplication. Again, cut out the behavior that leads to undesirable results. Don’t listen to all the negative stuff on the Internet. It will tie you up in knots for years. The Internet is a toilet where people dump their shit.

If someone is trying to shame you, it is your choice whether you want to participate in his game. You can bite the apple or kick him to the curb.

Mushrooms are healing me. I did two Niños Santos ceremonies in Mexico. In the ceremonies, I processed huge amounts of trauma through crying and the mystical visions radically shifted my perspective. The changes have been happening each day after the ceremony. It´s like every day is a work of art with new obstacles provided by the universe to push me forward and strange synchronicities. I now view the ordinary living of life as the highest practice of spirituality. Mushrooms grow in shit. But they turn the shit into beauty. They are the holy children. They teach us that our tragedies and sorrows are the source of our joy.

I stopped listening to Shunyamurti. I actually read his book “The Transformational Imperative”. He has created a grand narrative by mixing a lot of different theories including the psychobabble of Lacan. His system reminds me of Scientology – you have to ascend levels of word salad (called knowledge) in order to reach enlightenment. Theory keeps you perpetually trapped in the spinning left brain. I am gravitating to simpler methods. Being nice to my neighbor is now more valuable to me than studying theories. Reclaim your power and be your own guru.

Is it a civil war or a ghost dance?

His safety rant was far more broad than covid. Keep in mind that psychedelics were made illegal on the pretext of "safety".

She told you that she is interested in a serious relationship. If you don't want that then you should move on.

The problem is that people in politics are motivated by anger and that affects their policies and behavior, like shaming people, cancel culturing people, creating victim narratives, etc. A high consciousness approach would be to create environments where people can heal and connect with each other. That is how to overcome our surface differences.

I’m not sure whether to put this in self actualization, dating, or politics, because it encompasses all three. This is a powerful speech by Owen Cook, who was a dating coach, but has become much more than that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ79Ha5BAm4
