this is it bois... 2020 was kindergarten, this year we gonna see them Aliens.

Thank you guys for your replies anyway. Whenever I ask these sorts of questions I later realize that I should've not even asked. No answer, though answers were given.

Sounds like something a catholic priest would tell me to do.

Okay, but only because you've started to use weed irresponsibly and became addicted to it doesn't make it dangerous per se. Weed is a great tool for contemplation (at least for me) because it can help with implicit thinking and pattern recognition. And if you can use it responsibly, why not. Hashish and weed are widely used in India for spiritual purposes. Weed is no more dangerous than any other substance, provided one is careful and mature in handling it.

Isn't that a bit too much??

@Swarnim Dude, how about you take it easy? Why this hurry?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Drugs/comments/4whrnx/i_did_so_much_acid_i_almost_died/ This is one of the most interesting reddit posts I've ever read. It perfectly illustrates the game of the universe, the illusion, the pretense; our life. The Godhead, wanting and loving to get involved, lost and completely taken in by the illusion. Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.

Nice

@outlandish Did you give an answer?

God damn this is some good stuff

@Leo Gura Have you written trip reports like those? if yes, is there a chance that we might get to read them? Or do you keep them to yourself in your personal notes?

Wow, incredible! Sounds a lot like Leo's experiences, beautiful Damn

"different" is an idea. "same" is an idea.

I think it can be very difficult to distinguish real integrity from mere pride in such a situation. So it really depends on the situation, but I think in most cases I wouldn't let myself get killed. I'm not even nearly as spiritually or personally developed as Jesus or Gandhi to actually consider being an "integrity-martyr", so my answer is: no.

@The Buddha Wth bro, don't call Leo that...?

@anxious_turtle How do you feel when you say it? Do you just say it spontaneously or is it triggered by something?

You can bet your ass he does. I remember one of his blog posts where he said he was able to tap into some sort of collective consciousness in which he was able to "access" the brains of unborn fetuses and he somehow imagined to alter their neural structure to become more open-minded when they grow up. If he would start to share stuff like this in his videos... his YT career would be pretty much over. Just remember how his viewership declined a few years ago when he went balls to the wall with 5MeO. It's probably better that he doesn't just spout out everything he knows. I'm pretty sure he has experienced things so titanically bizarre, so completely off the scale that he doesn't know how to even begin to communicate them. I regard Leo as a pioneer in consciousness work.

I seriously doubt that anybody here would say something like that... and I'm almost certain that nobody here would actually do something like that.

Because as I said, Monism is not quite the same as non-duality. Monism is exclusive, non-duality isn't. True. Yet, it is a very subtle distinction.

Of course I would intervene. Applying "God" or "the Absolute" to moral situations can be very tricky. It can very, very easily lead to the most horrible atrocities, if one doesn't understand it correctly. People tend to forget that: The suffering of the person who's being raped is also God My desire to intervene is also God There's a nice story told by Sri Ramakrishna that I like to bring up when questions like these are being raised: Once a master and his disciples were gathered in the jungles of India. The Master had been teaching his disciples: "Everyone is God, everything is God, and we should bow down to God in everyone and everything". Now, the next day, when the disciples were out in the jungle gathering fruit for their meals, off in the distance was heard the bellowing, trumpeting and crashing of a great bull Elephant, wild with rage; And, all of a sudden, he was crashing through the jungle precisely in the direction of the assembled group of disciples. The Mahout, (the man who rides the elephant) was shouting to all in front of him, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The elephant is mad!" Seeing the approaching terror, all of the disciples began to run, except for one; He remembered the Master's words, "God is in everyone and everything and we should bow down to God in everyone and everything." The elephant was thundering towards him and the Mahout was shouting for him to get out of the way, but, remembering his Masters words, he bowed down to the approaching elephant. The elephant, plunged towards him, picked him up with his trunk, smashed him to the side and thundered on through the jungle. The disciples came back after the elephant had gone and finding him unconscious they brought him to the Master. When he came to his senses, he was given tea and then the Master asked him : "Why did you not run away?" The disciple replied, "Master, you yourself had said that God was in everyone and everything and to bow down to God in everyone and everything. I have simply followed your words". The Master replied: "It is true, God is in everyone and everything. There is God in the Elephant, but, there is God in the Mahout too, and the Mahout said; 'Get out of the way!'" From the absolute perspective, there's no reason why you should intervene. But equally, there's no reason why you should not intervene.

Nice suggestion

@communitybuilder Non-Duality never became dual. Duality is at root: an illusion. The dividing lines are made of thought. But they are not really there A while back I made a post about those "dividing lines", this might help you: Very good, you're starting to get the point!!

Very nice post, well written. Sounds a lot like something I could've written when I was younger and high. But I think this part; sounds just a bit too grand and paranoid to me. I understand that big pharma and all those who are associated with it want to make as much money as possible (damn the cost and well-being of their patients), but you're saying it like there's actually a hidden plot underneath all those structures. And I don't think that's the case. It would seem much more plausible to me to say that all the dehumanization and despiritualization that is happening in the medical and psychiatric fields are simply the result of ignorance on the part of those who work there. And I don't mean just the doctors, nurses and psychiatrists, I mean those who are on top of it all. They are just interested in money. That's it. So I think it just happens to be the case that a Pro-Money-Agenda in the medical and psychiatric world looks very similar to an Anti-Soul-Agenda as you call it.

Oskar Schindler Came to my mind when Leo said "here's something you should notice: when you encounter or see acts of high integrity, they will actually make you cry. Tear up with tears of of joy and appreciation. You probably experienced this watching some movie." At the end of "Schindlers List" when Schindler said that he could've saved more lives and when they showed the last scene where the survivors lay stones on Schindler's grave I couldn't help but cry.. It just reinforces what an incredibly integrous person Schindler was. He gave up all his wealth and prestige etc., because he chose Love
