I have observed profound synchronicities listening to music on mushrooms. Leaves falling from tree's, lightening and oceans waves all moving and happening in perfect synchronization to music I was listening to. You become very aware there is an infinite intelligence behind the movement of everything that is perfectly orchestrating it all. It is extremely profound the first time you observe this. These synchronicities are occurring constantly all around us, but we overlook most of them in our regular state of consciousness.

Why are the only options God mode or nothing? In an infinite mind there are endless options in between these two. Most people would enjoy playing this game with abilities beyond what they currently possess. This is one of the reasons superhero films are wildly popular.

I wonder what other factors contributed to so many insights and changes from taking LSD?

@AndylizedAAY More than likely these experiences are just examples of the one universal mind interacting with itself. Several years ago when I got into conscious deliberate creation, I would use inner conversations and scripting different scenarios with people. Many times events would play out where the people would say verbatim the inner conversations or scripting I had done. When this first happens to you, you really feel like you are living in the Matrix. I am sure there are times when it's just a coincidence or reticular activating system, but I had too many and they were too precise for this to be the case.

@BipolarGrowth Thank you!

At one point in my journey to understand consciousness I became very interested in near death experiences. I read every online story and book I could find on the subject. One apparent pattern I noticed was often the NDE's were shaped and colored by the persons religion and culture. It was obvious the belief's of the people were affecting what they experienced. Eventually I discarded most of the religious and cultural aspects of the experiences and looked mostly at the other consensus themes that were commonly experienced. Could a similar thing be occurring when we use psychedelic's to gain insights? For instance, Leo has had many insights that have shown him reality works in a very similar way to video games. He has a background in video game design. Could that have had an affect in a similar way that peoples religious belief's or culture influences their near death experiences? I am not saying this negates the truth or validity of his insights. This is not meant as a criticism of Leo, I have nothing but respect and admiration for him. I just find it an interesting coincidence and worth exploring. How much do you feel your own belief's may have affected or colored the insights you have had from psychedelics? If our belief's or culture are affecting our insights, is there a way to circumvent this?

@JuliusCaesar Very true. This is why I have always verified for myself through direct experience as much as I can. It seems we can still have some coloring or distortion even with direct experience, like we see in NDE's for example. Perhaps that is one of the challenges of using the mind to understand the mind and reality. There could be a way to become so conscious that you transcend all human belief's and concepts. I think Leo may have achieved this.

@Bufo Alvarius Thank you for sharing this! If you attend another event ask Bashar, if I expanded my awareness to the level of all that is, would I perceive or feel that I am the only being that exists? Who else would love to see an interview with Leo and Bashar?

@JuliusCaesar I want to understand consciousness, reality and how it is being constructed as clearly as possible. Often it seems our belief's and culture can color or influence the insights we have. If that is happening with me as well, that is what I would want to circumvent.

@JuliusCaesar True, are you saying there isn't a way to circumvent this, it's just one of the inherent challenges of using the lens of mind to comprehend mind? You don't feel there are absolute truths?

You sound somewhat confused or conflicted about what you want. It you like this girl, date her. You are both still very young and shouldn't really be thinking about settling down yet. You are overthinking the situation. Just explore it and see how it unfolds.

Yes, belief's are very powerful and can often color our insights. I am interested in discovering truth beyond what my personal belief's are.

what do you mean exactly? @Forza21 Your shared psychedelic experiences where you became one another.

@Forza21 Your own direct experiences have shown you this isn't true.

@Inliytened1 I agree. It's all you. What I am saying is there are parts of your consciousness that you limit your awareness of so you can have unique experiences of discovery and insights.

Nope Because you are God right now. @Inliytened1 If our higher mind isn't imagining things our finite mind has no awareness of, how do we explain ever experiencing anything new? The only way we could experience something new was if our higher mind was imagining it and limiting it from the awareness of our finite conscious mind. This happens all the time. Travelling is good example. You can travel to places you have never seen, but when you get there they will exist.

Thank you. Yes, I know this is true.

@Inliytened1 Thank you! I understand that I am not finite, it's only a limited perspective I am creating. What I am alluding to is there are more expanded parts of my consciousness that know things or could be imagining parts of reality that my finite conscious mind has no awareness of. Using the moon example. If at the God head level I am imagining the moon, it would still exist even if my finite mind was not observing it.

@Inliytened1 I think where some people get confused is they read statements like this and think "nothing exists outside my finite mind", which I don't think it was you are saying.

So from your perspective the perceptual field of our finite mind is the same as our infinite mind? I feel that my mind at the god head level could be imagining endless things that my finite mind could have no awareness of right now. Isn't this possible?

@evolving55555 I have wondered about this as well. Leo said something that really stuck with me. Your mind is never in a "sober" state. I never really thought about that way til he said that, but it's true. Our brains are continually under the influence of a mix of different chemicals and neurotransmitters. Also, all these psychedelics and spiritual practices are just imagined chains of causation we create to explain having insights anyway. One barometer I always check in with is my own inner guidance and intuition. For me when something is true, it resonates as true in my body, it's something I can feel.

Yes, it's all part of Perfection, but still that doesn't mean I don't suffer over it. I still suffer from illness. I have been in expanded states where I was able to see that was everything was perfect too. How do you recommend we integrate this with our desire to improve situations? It seems like this awareness could lead to a very passive way of living. I don't think you are advocating we don't strive to improve things, right?

I am continually surprised that more people are not deeply interested in understanding consciousness and reality. I can't think of anything more fascinating. Have any of you experienced a holographic quality to consciousness during your trips? It seems to have the ability to sub divide itself endlessly and every division somehow contains the whole. Here are a couple amazing infinity images from artist Anthony James. His work is incredible. http://www.anthonyjamesstudio.com/

Have your recent awakenings changed how you view health challenges or illness? Are you able to see perfection in these situations as well?

How many layers of imagination do you estimate there are? Nothing we experience on psychedelics trips ever seems to cause a change to this reality. We always come back to exactly the same environment. Were you ever able to access a deep enough part of imagination that you were able to change something in this reality?
