great to hear your experience I have my first ceremony next sunday

Im thinking of doing this too, few months trip in india would you leave your place in US empty? not sure what to do with that part yet

I'll work a few hours a day for my survival, sure. But not this BS 8 hours a day slavery system With technological advancements, there is no need at all we need to be working this much Yes some people would just sit at home playing games, but that gets boring after a while. You'd be suprised by the number of people who would still contribute postively

Yeah its kind of demotivating honestly, he spent all these years on spirituality and now seems worse off than when he started? I guess he didn't prioritize his health enough and chased after peak states of enlightenment via psychedelics. Easy trap to fall in to though

What are you actually selling to people in e commerce though? some people make a load of money and make the world worse in the process

The site "Workaway" has a lot of good oppotunties like this. I'm looking for something similar to what you described

I struggle with this aswell, i'm pretty sure the root is living with our parents but I can't avoid that right now One activity I am doing is a vlog challenge, where I go to a public place and record myself speaking to my phone talking about anything. Feel the judgement of other people and realize it doesn't matter

Where did you receive shaktipat transmissions from?

Everyone saying "You're already enlightened you don't need anyone" etc Sure, but a guru or someone experiencing non duality can be insanely helpful on the path. There is an energetic transmission when you are around these people which carries over to you if your open to it

Gareth Duignam has a strong transmission He has events in Ireland and Portugal https://www.truespiritualawakening.eu/events

I think AI will have a positive impact on society

What criteria is there for you to deem someone awake? What about Frank yang he was on this forum, your more awake than him? Why does it even matter who is more awake than someone else, what kind of ego games is this

Which Shaktipat teachers did you receive transmissions from? I have had a lot of sessions from gareth duignam which benefited me but i'm wondering if I should go to others or not. Because I heard if you mix transmissions from different gurus they can become weaker? Or was that not the case for you

Do you recommend any resources to learn about this?

You just got a taste with psychdelics, thats not the 'real' thing . 6 g of mushrooms also comes with a ton of nausea

Shaktipat! This is my guru https://www.truespiritualawakening.eu/

I had a similar experience, it felt really unpleasant and the comedown was not nice

This guy gives a good perspective:

Its becoming legal in Australia where I live on 31st Jan

How does it actually work? I heard good things about it but never noticed much myself

I really appreciate the replies, thank you

So i'm not great at writing but felt like I need to share where I am in life. I don't have anyone else I can speak openly to I'm nearly 27 and live in australia. I feel like my main problem at the moment is living with my mum. Its turned me into a massive people pleaser and around other people I shut down completely and can barely talk. I've had a severe stutter my whole life which makes things harder I'm trying to look for a solution to this rut i'm in. My parents will help me with a house they are building which will be finished ~ 5 months from now. Problem is the house will be right next to them so I don't know if its a good option, I want space from them. Options are to wait living here, try going to an ashram, go to philippines, or shared rental. But i'm stuck with so much fear I don't know if I will even do anything I hold risky stocks on the stock market too which doesn't help. My initial investment was 280k aud, it was up to 600k now 240k. Feel a ton of regret from the loss

I'm in a similar situation to you, apathetic to everything How is your living situation? For me i'm pretty sure living with my mum causes me to be like this, makes me a huge people pleaser and I suppress my emotions so deeply

amazing, which enlightened teacher/community is it?
