I wouldn't say Buddhism is only good for concentration. Concentration itself is not the point, the point is insight into the empty and transient nature of self and all phenomena. Developing concentration is only so you can investigate your experience and do other practices more effectively.

Fair point. I haven't seen any people who've been on the for this long.

I've never watched him but just took a look. He looks kinda gross. Like Goatis.

I'm not on a carnivore diet because I find it hard to eat so much meat but you can't deny that people on a raw carnivore diet look incredibly healthy.

Definitely. By the drug categories definition, drugs like salvia, ketamine etc. are also not psychedelic.

No it doesn't.

Cannabis might be a superior substance to classic psychedelics for doing trauma work. Nothing lifts emotional dissociation like cannabis. But it's important not to overdo it. One puff is enough. Then sit and feel into your body, ask yourself "what is it that I don't want to feel"?, then go there.

My understanding is that it won't subside as long as you're expecting it to subside. Cuz when you're expecting it to subside, you're doing it from the ego. You need to keep inquiring, "who wants the ego to subside?". Try to find it.

There's a balance between being skeptical and trusting your intuition.

It shows in one's energy, although "impressive" is not a word I'd use then talking about spiritual attainments.

It's funny seeing people triggered when absolute truth (aka their religious beliefs) gets challenged.

I think it's a good career path but a university degree is a waste of time. It's much better to study particular modalities, such as IFS, Kiloby Inquiries etc. You can try those methods and find one that works best for you, then you can do facilitator training and start working with others.

Now we know the secret substance behind the alien awakenings. )

It's ok. You don't need to impress anyone.

Martin Ball and Leo Gura aren't impressive on a spiritual/energetic level. There's depth there, but there's also quite a bit of nihilism and a huge spiritual ego. Especially in Leo's case. That's not something to aspire to or to be impressed by.

The solution to social problems is not to go out and socialize. The solution is to heal the underlying trauma that is preventing you from having the social life you want. If you force yourself to go out and socialize without healing trauma, you can build a persona that is social and outgoing, but that'll only take you further from your authentic self.

It's because they're destroying their system and inflating their ego in the process. 5-meo is not a good medicine although it can feel like one. I haven't seen a single person who does 5-meo, on video or irl who is impressive. It's actually quite the opposite.

How is that gaslighting?

Awareness is the self-knowing nature of manifestation.

It's that case when the dumber shit you say the wiser you feel because you think you've unplugged yourself from concepts.

Probably not.

There is no 'what' to anything.

She grew up Christian, then got into new age and non-duality and then went back to Christianity. Religious programming can go very deep and not easy to let go of.

There's also a solution for people that don't have access to food: Watch videos about food.
