Try oleamide. Also try meditation a la Culadasa -- The Mind Illuminated.

It's possible that psychedelics and meditation are simply 2 different axes of development. 2. Yeah development is inherently dualistic so what did you expect?

Have literally not played a video game in almost a decade, myself. Probably would be nice. Unless it's social my intuition says don't touch it, but if you're in too deep, embrace it?

No

On the level that you're looking for: Everything that happens is dependent on conditions. Conditions beyond your control. Even if there is apparent control, that control is something that happens, right? And everything that happens is dependent upon conditions. Conditions beyond your control. This contemplation can stop judgement. The next step is to fall in love. Fall in love with yourself. Fall in love with what is. Complement yourself on how miraculous it is that what you're doing is exactly what you're doing -- what is.

Literally everything can be seen as silly, from a certain perspective, of which there are infinitely many.

STOP If it happens it happens. That's the truth. Read my responses on a recent thread called "Self Inquiry" if you actually have an uncompromising urge to awaken that can't be quelled and it's killing you and you just fucking GOTTA do something about it, though.

I distrust the vaccine as of right now, but I'm almost certain that will change. I just can't seem to shake the fact that Andy Cutler was a bit of an anti vaccer himself and I did his chelation protocol and it literally cured my narcolepsy -- which is so much more significant and outrageous when you see that the entire medical community runs counter to his chelation protocol and it's literally damn obvious (as a chemistry minor myself) why his protocol works better than the medical community's protocols/understanding. For clarification, I've taken quite a few classes dealing with immunity -- vaccinations are legit, it's the process behind their creation that I don't entirely trust.

@SS10 I've been listening to Sam on and off since like 2012. He's a pretty damn conscious person. He has flaws (don't we all). His biggest blunder was the whole Charles Murray thing, in my view. I forgive him though, even if he still (somehow) doesn't even know what he did wrong. ALL of us have blind spots. No exceptions. This solo podcast he just gave was par for the course for him. I'm grateful that we have him in this world -- even if he's completely misled in some ways. I have a huge soft spot for the fellow, I guess you could say . He's actually the person who got me into spirituality, and for that, absolutely nothing can water down the love I see in that man. In other words, I am very, very biased.

Complement yourself. Tell yourself "I love you." Or "you're doing a great job." "It's OK to feel this way." etc. For starters. The funny thing about the most important thing in the world (self love) is that it can actually be literal.

It's a man kissing his cat... If you're sick, you're looking too hard at it or something.

@arlin Just to clarify, NOT hundreds of women, lol. Hundreds of times. Relationships that sometimes get pretty serious. They're often divorced and quite a bit older than me.

Levels of consciousness that transcend the individual. Stage turquoise+ are themselves beyond even themselves in a sense, as spiral dynamics still deals with the individual, and these stages are characterized by awakenings and transpersonal consciousness. Not to mention transpersonal, global, intergalactic, and interdimensional consciousness and being. Transcendent, immanent, formless, and integrated layers of reality, etc. Just thinking out loud.

@Raptorsin7 It's a very subtle technique but if you think you're doing it wrong, it's because you're overthinking it. Just simply ignore every experience and focus-on (look-for; find) the one who seems to be aware of it. Now...the reason that can seem confusing is because that's actually not possible to do... But attempting to do it over and over with great intensity is the whole practice. It takes practice to do it fluidly, so be patient. Perhaps try an established meditation system like The Mind Illuminated first to get your mind stable enough to do it with some greater ease. And btw, this whole fluid technique itself is also just an experience, so ignore it and attempt to find the one who is aware of it. Over and over you will catch what feels like the I, realize it isn't the I because the I is aware of it, and refocus again and again. If you're still experiencing, keep going. If you seem not to be experiencing anything, that's still an experience -- who knows there's no experience? And on and on and on...

Sage.

If we are going by the construct that literally everything is art, which come to think of it, seems to be the case, then yeah, I guess you’re right.?? ❤️ Keep on keepin’ on brother, breaking down them walls.

Haha all good. Literally nothing goes into it. No art. I don’t think about it at all. Hell, I date them fairly often. Made some of them my long term girlfriend. Almost married one of them. One even kept saying “yes” and I’d say “what?” And she’d say “just practicing (for when you ask me to marry you).” I’m a fairly spiritual guy and they seem to end up happier after being with me for some time. What can I say... lol idk. I’m still in college. Maybe I should date girls my age but I have a thing for cougars something terrible lol.

You are just playing a role, right? If so, well fucking done! I’m doubtful considering your post count, but good luck to you either way.

Yeah it’s practically suicide to not love yourself enough to meditate for at least 20 minutes a day.

I can see this isn’t going anywhere, but if you want to know... LOL fuck it... just picture a 6 in your own head. I can guarantee you that’s roughly what I consider a 6. And btw I’m in my mid 20’s and most of the women I hook up with are in their early 30’s. Often divorced. Sometimes they have not-perfect teeth, etc, but body of basically a pornstar. Picture your average pornstar — that’s how I view these women. Seriously. Doesn’t matter how others see them (though I can pretty much guarantee others view them as “hot as fuck”) — they’re perfect to me. It’s just magic when I’m with them. Don’t care what other people think about their imperfections.

I’m my lightly held opinion, bipolar is a misdiagnosis and misunderstanding of spiritual cycling — the ego death / ego backlash cycle. Seriously.

Lol. Picture 6/10 (as ridiculous as that seems; rating; oh god I shudder). That’s my absolute lowest. Literally have never gone lower. Not even once. Feels ridiculous to even say this, but it’s usually over 7.5/10. I think I might just be handsome (not serious). And extremely vulnerable and honest — women pick up on that.

Not that there's any actual benefit to having a good work ethic, but it can still be a trip. Try it on for size with some strategy. Get obsessed. The first thing you could do every morning is meditate, and then try to carry your ascended state into the ordinariness of get-er-done. Take hella fucking risks. Not everyone makes it; the ones that do make it take risks though. If you're infinitely stubborn (not possible but you can get close), there is almost literally no risk. Preposterous strategic-ness is not enough to see that world without luck, but beyond preposterous strategy, on the other hand... try it. You may or may not like it. But what if you do like it? "What do I want?" is the best contemplation for success. The only thing holding a compassionate person back from this is shame -- can't explain why, but ignore the absolute fuck out of it. Shame is what tells you you're human. You can be beyond human. You can do anything. For example, if you're in college and you get a B in some class, here's literally an option that maybe some of you have tried and succeeded with, but this is for those who haven't thought about it: You can go to your professor's office and just give them a reason for why you actually deserve an A. If they say no, you can literally say you're not leaving until they give you an A. Sometimes they'll decline, but if they're like most people, they'll eventually give in after you're there annoying them for 3 hours. Ever thought of that? I've seen it work. It does work. It's what very successful people do.

There is actually no help whatsoever, apart from self-love. Self-love is everything. Everything.

Absolutely no judgement whatsoever. Anyone judging is just not open minded enough or knowledgeable enough about shit that has gone into vaccines in the past. Literally if I saw someone post what I’m posting right now without the requisite knowledge to identify with it, I’d think they were ignorant as fuck. But in all honesty, it’s best for the population for everyone to get vaccinated.
