As she was moving from ward to ward of a hospital, she remarked: "this also is a temple with God's images. It is He who manifests in the shape of disease as well. In every one of these temples the gods and goddesses are giving darshan. The sense of want, of emptiness and one's true being are in exactly the same place - in fact, they are That and That alone. What is this sense of want and what is "true being"? He and nothing but He. For the simple reason that there is one single seed, which is the tree as well as the seed as well as all its various processes of transformation - truly the One alone. You attempt to appease want with want; hence want does not disappear, nor does the sense of want. When man awakens to the acute consciousness of this sense of want, only then does spiritual inquiry become genuine. You must bear in mind that only when the sense of want becomes the sense of the want of Self-knowledge, does the real Quest begin. Whether you call it the One, the Two, or the Infinite, whatever anyone may say, all is well.

I've tried lots of drugs. I just don't like one: Alcohol. It's just not for me.

You don't understand relative truths vs absolute truths. This misunderstanding is a common error in the proccess of awekening. Check Leo's video about realtive vs absolute.

I understand your point. However, you have also said that this works needs to hit you from different angles to really unravel your mind. Why not trying this new approach? If that is what society is looking for. It doesn't matter the wrapping, once they start going down the rabbit whole they will find you. It can be a nice normie introduction to your work, so that it has a bigger impact and has a wiser fit in todays world

The most important insight I gained from him is the impossibility of grasping the now. He tells again and again that you cannot make a reflexive action to what you are. That even wanting enlightenment, truth or God is starting from the wrong foot. Because reality would never ask itself this maniach questions, as it is already what it is. He cannot make higher abstract sense of what is constantly being the case, it is self evident the case, unmissable experience of existence as whatever is here is what we are searching but we are searching within the play of reality. Therefore he declares that nothing can be attained how can you attain what is always here, how can you grab if the tool that you use to grab is already what you want to grab. I find interesting also that after what he calls the calimity. He forgot even to speak or survive and had to relearn everything from absolute 0 like a kid. Another mind blowing fact that I read from his last letter, My Swan Song: I was very surprised for two things. First of all, I have been investigating the life of Anandamayi Ma for many years. It's the only recorded case in history of someone being bornt fully awake and is called the guru of gurus. Secondly, UG is known for being the most anti everything, the fact that he recognised Anandamayi Ma really made me reflect about his realization. Anandamayi Ma, as UG went through very extreme phisical changes through what she called: when this body was overimposed with the veil of ignorance and played the role of sadhana, how beautiful it is that I have to reveal myself to myself. While UG described it as an horrific experience that no one should ever want, with extreme pain, what seem as radical kundalini awakenings, senses being unravelled upside down and finally his body and "I" disappearing forever. He explains that he was left blank.

What I found most curious about U.G is that he says again and again that whatever happened to him, happened in spite of all the work he had done before. Also when pushed about that he says: He rejects all gurus, religions, traditions, paths, philosophies, and spirituality. He is often accused of radical skepticism, although he also rejects skepticism. It is important to be aware of this background when listening to him. He deeply questions epistemology and how we can know anything at all, or if there ever was an "I" or enlightenment. It was through a lengthy video that I began to unravel the essence of him. Understanding him becomes challenging when he asserts that communication is not possible, and he has no interest in making others understand. To truly grasp his perspective, a genuine desire to comprehend him is necessary; otherwise, one may give up along the way and miss out on something truly unique.

After all my self development and spiritual work I thought I would be prepared to die and I would let go with wisdom and peace. Then I tried salvia (called also the backdoor to death) and well I cried and screamed like a baby, I'm surprised I didn't shit my pants. I cried to God, to guru, to anything or anyone that could help me, I was absolutely helpless, wanting to have any anchor in reality whatever it was. All was futile, I was dying and there was anything at all I could do. After death, the experience was interesting, but it pales in comparison with the intensity of dying. I had ego deaths in the past but with salvia you really die... I mean the shit hits the fan and it gets so real.

Question: Which is the best path to Self-knowledge? Mataji: All paths are good. It depends on the man's Samskaras, his conditioning, the tendencies he has brought over from previous births. Just as one can travel over to the same place by plane, railway, car or cycle, so also different lines of approach suit different kinds of people. But the best path is the one which the Guru points out. Question: when there is only one, why are there so many different religions in the world? Mataji: Because He is infinite, there is an infinite varieties of conception of Him and an endless varieties of path to Him. He is everything, every kind of belief, and also the disbelief of the atheist. Your belief in non-belief is also a belief. When you speak of disbelief it implies that you admit belief. He is in all forms and yet He is formless. Question: From what you said I gather that you consider the formless nearer to truth than God with form? Mataji: Is ice anything but water? Form is as much He as the formless. To say that there is only one Self(Atma) and all forms are illusion would imply that the formless was nearer to truth than God-with-form. But this body declares: every form and the formless are God and God alone.

Nope that does not work. I have been with an amazing girl for 4 years and after 1 year and a half I had my first awakening. The point is that now she is very interested and after some psychedelic experiences she is definetely more open but it's just not her time. Be careful not to fall on this trap of everyone should be conscious and I'm here to help people evolve. Everyone is in their journey, assist them in their own journey, don't try to inject your values into other people. By your own transformation, energy and sex, she will be more open. Psychedelics are key in this procces to help them have a point of reference to what you experience daily. WIthout point of reference you are fucked up really. It's very important that she has a point of reference of what you are doing but beyond that, it's her life and soul journey.

I don't think it. It happens. From that experience, thoughts label it as I'm more conscious.

https://neal.fun/absurd-trolley-problems/ This webpage test will put you in very interesting ethical reflections. It's a very interesting experience, post here your feedback. For me, the questions have put me in very challenging scenarios

Very curious man U.G. Krishnamurti.

Deconstruct fully your mind. See for yourself what is here. Delete all that you can, everything. See what is here, totally ungraspable.

Rigth now I'm clueless about reality. I don't even know if I am alive or dead, how would I know? I don't know what this moment really is. I feel it is ungraspable, this isness cannot be captured in any way, I have failed miserably, eternally shapeshifting, everything seems to come out of nothing, my thoughts come out of nothing, even my body and the whole existence comes out of nothing each morning. I'm having very weird realizations lately, kind of like being existentially mad, my relative framework is somehow intact, it's just the fundamentals, the fabric of reality is leaving me in shock. The very essence of things, or myself is ungraspable, it's total futility, yet it is, and even saying that it is too much. You make sense of it as beingness, but the levels of stories and explanations you overimpose on the experience you are having is insane. I don't know why but lately this stories are just randomly disappearing. What would happen if you were just born to this moment. Fully wiped out clean. What would be this "experience" without the label experience, the "I" without the label "I", thoughts withouth the thought that they are thoughts, existence just as it is, as most fundamental as you can get. It's absurd because you are trapped in it, there is nothing to get, it is all getting within itself, understanding itself, playing in itself, but it cannot grasp itself, it is futile in the end, it's a dog chaising it's own tail. I really don't know anything. If something I could tell you is that your stories and explanations are not it and will never be it, your insights and mystical experiences when gone are just memory, even if it is permanent so what, where can you go? what can you do? What more do you want to be/realize/wake up? It's so total it's absurd, really absurd. You are undoubtedly what you are, yet the mistery keeps playing before your eyes ever free, ever happening...

Sages describe the state in two manifestations: as self-effulgent silence or as the infinite play of the one.

do you know anything at all about crypto mining? This is lesson 0 lol You can mine up to 21 million bitcoin, no more. However, this is seen as a huge problem which just shows how lost you in this topic. As miners are the ones who support transactions. A problem solved by Ethereum which has a theoretically infinite supply, which has many benefits but also drawbacks as everything in life. Also, you seem ver unware of how money has been printed out of the blue because of covid. This technology does not allow this type of outside modifications. It is a stable system and much more intelligent than the current one. However, how to make the transition is the only legit discussion to have and one that represents really huge challenges. But which system is better as the default one, there is no doubt about.

WE NEED TO MAKE A DISTINCTION HERE: One thing is the crypto technology itself. Another whole can of worms is the speculation done with the use of this tecnology. If you talked with an economist 20 years ago and told them that we would have a fully global new monetary structure, decentralized, uncorruptable, anonymous and secure; he would have laughed at you. Yet cryptos are exactly this technology. It makes sense that in the era of internet, a coin bornt from internet becomes the new idea of value and money. If you want to invest in cryptos to get rich you are stupid. If you don't see how cryptos are the new money you are stupid.

The understanding of this quote is enough for God-Realization. The reader is invited to reflect on each word and the overall meaning. I like how the possibility of being God is open in this quote yet it is said that even in so called "not being God" God is all there is, alone.

Do sport before hand. Yoga and stretching works good also. Get you heart pumping and then relax. Lsd will not flow properly if you are not balanced in your energetic field at higher doses. Intention and meditation is key. If you are gonna fast during the trip take some vitamins when you would feel like eating but the psychedelic simply doesn't allow it

I think physical mastery is the biggest blind spot in his work. He has just one book about physical consciousness in his booklist and has transformed my whole life, yet there is so much more. I have evolved my consciousness lately much quicker by martial arts, intense sport and kundalini yoga than with the rest of techniques. I hit a very strong bottleneck with my body-mind in psychedelics. My body could not handle how conscious I was, literally every cell was exploting in consciousness and kundalini had to kick in to heal and evolve the body. My mind was bending and twisting within itself not being able to handle the stretch and expansion of consciousness. After intense physical activites my baseline consciousness has dramatically improved, now I can embody better consciousness. I was extremely surprised Leo had never talked about this, being such a blatant bottleneck in spiritual development and conscious work. Now my integral approach consists in: body, mind and consciousness.

About Tolerance there is this subjective experience LSD chart done by the community as a rule of thumb. As you said is only for LSD but it can give some guidelines. This is the equation: y= x/100*280.059565*n^-0.412565956

Try first kundalini yoga to clear your energetic system. I recommend this channel: Then start with kriya yoga after you are comfortable with kundalini yoga

Side note: I'm happy that finally there is a high quality discussion going on in the forum. There are strong arguments on both sides, I'm very interested to know where all this will lead.
