Is cultural appropriation really a problem? To me it looks small-minded and a bit childish to even care if some rich white lady has cornrows or not. I believe in treating people kindly and respecting and other's cultures and customs, but this type of thing has always felt a bit like "walking on eggshells" to me. Is it only a result of all the racial tension or does it actually have some value or a point to it other than to keep people from freaking out?

Hey Leo, I remember you talking a while back about a Mindset Re-programming course of some sort that you were working on. I'm really curious if you're still working on it and how it goes!

@Leo Gura Is there a process for integrating such insights? Probably contemplation, huh?

@Leo Gura Thanks @Nahm Thanks @Nak Khid I don't really know what it is. It might be that I finally connected to my intuition or something, cause I get these almost "religious/holy" moments of clarity still that I never used to get before. They're not as frequent anymore but they still happen from time to time. @Serotoninluv Thanks, that helps a lot actually

So my experience goes something like this: I did a slightly too heavy dose of LSD (while drinking beer and smoking weed) back in 2015, and it almost quite literally cracked my head open and dragged me from stage orange consciousness, all the way to stage turquoise consciousness. Holy Fuck did freak out, I went through seeing God, and all the evil and the good in the world, ego-death the whole shebang. And then it dropped me back on earth (back into stage orange) after I had accepted my own death and everything. The next days were some of the best I've ever had and I went about life with a new sense of purpose and a positive outlook on life. Then I crashed when I remembered the face of God and all its implications and i started to get panic attacks. From there I got really fragile and tried to cope with life and was scared shitless. But then something weird started happening, it was like I downloaded amazing insights into my mind about life, like I accessed a great divine source of some sort. It made me do all sorts of crazy shit like contacting people I've wronged and asked for apologies, I left my abusive best "friend" with NPD, I started to think for myself and yadda yadda and list goes on. It's still going on to this day. Anyways, my whole point is that I see this as a part of the integration of all the lessons I was taught during the trip (even though I just remember them as a general vibe in my body and not so much verbatim). But do you guys and gals have any ways to go about doing this properly? The way I did this was a bit too all over the place and, first and foremost, RISKY. How would a grown-up go about this process is what I'm trying to say?

Hey, go easier on yourself. Let go of all that shame and guilt. (read up on self-compassion) And from there you could start trying to see how you're not so different from girls and realize they're just humans. AND then hit the clubs and strike up convos until you get good at it.

As long as you don't feel sexually attracted to minors in general, I think you're fine.. boners can be super random. I got one from hearing my dog drink out of its bowl once.

@Leo Gura lol, like what music is isn't subjective
