I've been years without reading/watching news as I felt they were polluting my mind. Now, I want to inform myself more about the world but find no high quality unbiased new resources. So any tips/apps for reading news on the phone and start understanding better the world?

It's not only lying, it's deceiving. How are you gonna train your mind to be truthful if your job is to deceive. The caveat happens to be that to become filthy rich, deception is the easiest way. Having limited resources, becoming billionaire rich in a way that allows you to become insanely conscious and mature is indeed challenging. I'd say it's possible but I haven't seen anyone exhibiting the qualities to do both at excellence. The sacrifice and luck is too much. Even in human history, such convergence is rare, in my research I've only found a few Hindu kings particularly inclined for spirituality & philosophy in a particularly favourable time-space. Having said this, I'm sure you can be a millionaire and be very mature and conscious. Money like spirituality has many leagues and the fish at the surface are not like the sharks at the bottom of the ocean.

Yes, this is where I'm coming from and I've been quite happy about that for the last years. However, contemplate in what ways this is limiting you and your understanding of reality. Actually total disconnection keeps the safety of one's mind, but it's also throwing the baby out with the bathwater. After isolating and cleaning the mind for some good years, what is truly desired is to find high quality channels to evolve your understanding of the world. Doing so is useful for many pursuits and may impact your work, economics, friends and major life decisions.

Why do you want to be wealthy? Why do you want to be Awake?

Hahaha reminds me of the classic: Now Leo is too serious to post this stuff

I'm at point where my understanding and experience of metaphysics is so clear: as Reality and Consciousness is always present as the test field to explore. However, as you mention, epistemology of the finite is far more complex, as how are we to easily verify the existence of black holes, cells or of Antarctica? It's impossible to have insight and experience into all finitude and permutations of Reality, yet as incredible as it sounds, we know it's possible to grasp Absolute Godly Infinity all at once, as a snake eats itself and metamorphs into its primordial egg.

The levels of intelligence and development you're reaching are very inspiring. Thanks for walking the talk Leo

@Leo Gura Does DMT have tolerance for you? And cross tolerance with other psychedelics? Any reset time for DMT? I'm still unclear, would appreciate your input.

Conformity is wired in the brain through mirror neurons

Salvia in low doses makes me very wise, calm and present. Salvia changes a lot depending on the dose.

I recommend you to search about Sri Anandamayi Ma, the only recorded case in history where a being was born egoless and remained this way till her death. There was no beggar or so called enligthened Guru that was not astonished by her simplicity and presence. If you pay real attention and read closely, undressing the words to what they point to, you will see that a very clear message of God-Realization is being transmited.

@Nemra As the flower blossoms, it sheds sublime fragrance 🌸

Big no no for me, unless it's 5meos very short lasting. Just thinking on an LSD trip sleep deprived gives me a bad body feeling. Psychedelics are taxing on the body and mind, so you should be as abundant of everything as you can. All the reserves should be full. If you have the tank empty, you don't go for a long road trip.

Anti-social social club

Agree, still contemplating heavily, there's so much nuance to clarify

@Nemra ❤️

Surely we can, we are the next generation brother

The beauty of understanding oneself and loving ourselves, can only come by a non-conformist exploration and experimentation of our living psyche.

The power of conformity is such that I am contemplating conformity initially because of conformity. The thought of conformity didn't appear in my mind autonomously. The whole discussion really boils down to what public thought-streams I am swimming in. Lost in the waters, I forget to honour myself and the inherent non-transferable power of thinking independently for myself. The gravitational pull of humanity, science, religion, actualized.org is such that I'm locked to think in certain ways and not others. Imagine an infinite 3D space of Mind where humanity is just a tiny interconnected cluster: how do I break free from conforming to this cluster... and start the expansive exploration of my Infinite Awake Mind! This is the real pursuit and juice of philosophy.

It's hard to find it in Europe, that I'm aware of, only Canada is shipping and it can get complicated. Some weeks ago I did my last Malt trip, as my 500mg badge ended.

@LambdaDelta Happy you finally could try it Very good trip report. I really liked your points on Infinite Mind, I'm working on that angle as well. It's so fascinating

Yes, and you?

Thanks, good to know. I felt like this info helped a future self of mine when that happened in the trip.

Meditation is the dance between concentration and relaxation; effort and release; contraction and expansion. For concentrating I do hardcore Vipassana and then I relax with just sitting. It's always better to stay with the effort side and then enter more into the effortless presence of mind. The real trick I've discovered for meditation is reducing to zero the micro-distractions. A cup of water with one hole, loses water, only when it's perfectly sealed that magick happens, in the same way for meditation to truly work at the highest level it has to be an unbroken chain of pure presence

This one is good
