Hey guys I’m hoping to release some old habits and emotional reactions this full moon. I’m feeling fearful and apprehensive to let go, I would really appreciate some supportive comments to increase my confidence in letting go. thank you so much in advance.

I’m a dancer, and often when I practise any sort of dance, I always do it in front of a mirror. Recently, every time I do any sort of dance, I become hyper-conscious of my body, that this body that I am using to dance is not me, but ‘I’ am controlling my body. It feels so odd. I then experiment with movement. I feel how I can control this body, but it’s not ‘me’. I look into the mirror and make eye contact with myself at times. I get a feeling that ‘you know who you really are, you know it deep down’ and small glimpses. I then have to pause for a bit as i feel like I’ve experienced a huge sudden shift in consciousness for just a moment, and then I return. it’s very interesting

I like the point you have about having more people ignorant than enlightened, as it would really breakdown the structure of reality and power and money as we know it, right ? it could be a subconscious thing from their side too. thanks for your input !

Hey all, I’ve a genuine question, and I’ve been thinking about this for a while. There are so many celebrities out there, who encourage people to worship them, but their merchandise, make posters out of them and also listen and buy as much of their songs / movies. And some celebrities / influential people say that only after they buy X amount of things, will they be able to considered a part of their fan base. However, Leo, in his videos, always warns people to not turn his teachings into a religion, or for it to become an ideology, but rather to test his teachings through direct experience. He is aware of the risks of such teachings and let’s his audience know. not even in Leo’s case, but also Sadh Guru and Jay Sherry etc. - many spiritual and personal development teachers. but then, you see many celebrities sending messages to young people through their art about overdosing on certain drugs recreationally, chasing money and objectifying women. Yet they are not called out for it, but in fact, encouraged and promoted around the country. they do it so outright, yet no one seems to be calling them a ‘cult’ or having ‘harmful teachings’, yet spiritual teachers, even if they make the slightest radical claim, they will rendered a ‘claim’. I’m not condemning any certain celebrity, they are most likely doing it out of ignorance or simply are in a lower level of consciousness to realise what they are doing, but what do you think is the psychology behind this ?

Hey ! it really depends on a few things: • how long have you been meditating for ? usually, it’s common to feel those sensations when you’ve first started to meditate, or are 5-6 months in, at least from my direct experience, as your body and mind are becoming more in ‘sync’ and connecting again. what sort of ‘dots’ were they ?

@JayySur ??

@Matt23 ill definitely check them out, thankyou !

@Endangered-EGO @JayySur Thank you for that, I am feeling much better now, the physical side effects have worn off it seems, and I feel a bit more clarity. I might take a few days off meditation to recover and take in this experience.

@Zenroshi thank you for that video, It feels comforting to know that is all part of the process

@ivankiss Thank you very much for your input, much appreciated.

Hey guys, I feel really scared. I just finished a meditation session, and I was deep in it, and during that meditation session, I felt little mild ‘zaps’ of energy in my hand and my body, I felt like vomiting and I felt a headache. I’m still feeling like this. I have a few mirrors in my room, and soon as I got up and saw my reflection, I felt scared. My head and body ‘vibrating’, I’m not sure of how to exactly describe it. I feel very ‘out of my head’, like I am not me, I look in the mirror and it’s not me. I feel like something bad is going to happen to my body. is this normal ? Any words of comfort would be great, I’m just feeling very fearful.

@AdamR95 me too ! The white ‘shape’ is not very defined, but it is certainly in the shape of a tunnel. Do you have any idea of what it could be ? thanks Adam !

@WelcometoReality Thank you did your input ! How about that brief ‘visions’, the ‘white’ one which I believed I saw behind my eyelids ?

I’m relatively new to spirituality and also quite young , so I would greatly appreciate some input in this situation. Context: I’ve been meditating for almost 6 months, almost daily, as well as doing some Kriya Yoga for a few weeks. today was an especially emotional day for me, I was doing some background research on the history of psychedelics and I spent a bit of time in nature, just contemplating about various things I learnt. Here’s what happened: I was meditating for 40 minutes today, and by each minute, I felt my body lose sensation. I knew my body was there and it was still working perfectly fine, but I just felt my sense of self just dissolve into my surroundings. After 35 minutes, I felt myself feel extremely calm, just as if I didn’t even exist, I was perfectly still. and then suddenly, I felt my heart rate increase, my breathing got faster and I felt so scared. I had my eyes shut and the room was dark, but behind my eyelids, I could see a sort of a light growing brighter and brighter. but I was so scared and didn’t know what was happening, so I opened my eyes quickly and tried to get out of that state. what happened ?

Here’s an experiment: Let’s say that there was an error in food production and somehow all the food in the world had some psychedelic substance inside of it. This means, that everyone on the planet had accidentally consumed some without knowing. what would be the likely outcome ? will everyone’s mind react to the substance in the same way, or will some people become more fearful, confused and all ? would the reaction someone has after after consuming the psychedelic he dependant on a person’s Congo rice level of development / where they lie on spiral dynamics stage ? thanks !
