You're right. But not everyone is open to have a peaceful conversation talking about things you disagree on. In general I don't have problems with being calm, but only in my family it's a million times more difficult, cause everyone gets so defensive and attacks me. So I almost never say ideas that go against their beliefs. One more question: is it not okay to not getting informed about politics if I'm not interested at all? When I say that I'm not that interested people judge. To some extent I don't care, but still.

It's true. But I personally prefer talking about dysfunctionality within politics, than creating more trough politics.

From your statement it seems that every stage necessarily criticizes the ones above, but I don't think that is necessary true. I imagine it happens in most of the cases, but it's not a rule... a Stage doesn't come with a criticism, but criticism arises within a Stage. In my opinion Beige doesn't criticize the higher stages since it doesn't have the mental capacity to do so. But it's also true that I am not greatly informed about this stage, so I might be totally wrong. I also might be wrong about the previous statements, but what I shared is just my idea.

God is not authority.

Your girlfriend is right, people don't know your whole story, so it's never good to flow other people's ideas. But what you should do is just listen to ideas, and then make one on your own, see what works best for you. I don't know if you're religious or not, but I'm not, and in my opinion what the priests told you is wrong, and not okay. You are free to do whatever you want, and sex won't break your relationship (unless under specific situations, but not specifically because of sex itself). Last thing: imo there is no such thing as "the one". You choose with whom you can't to live your life, and to be in a committed relationship means work, nothing is easy. So go for it, if you feel you can do it. And if things go wrong in the future, that's also fine. Life is unpredictable and impermanent, and sometimes we get hurt bad. But that is the path of our life, so you will always learn and grow from what happens and what you do. And follow your heart ❤️

Wow nice

I tried it only once, 3 years ago. My friend and I had small pills of 32mg each, and I took half of it (I read that 1mg more, or 1mg less really makes the difference), I don't remember about the others. It was a great experience. Somehow different than the usual psychedelics (LSD and psilocybin); I remember it was more energizing, and the visuals were not so organic and natural, but more mechanic. We went into some sort of trance when putting on YouTube a monk chanting, was really interesting. I would totally do it again, but I don't know where to get it. Do you buy it online as a research chemical? I don't think it's legal in Europe, maybe only the 2CB-fly version, but idk the difference and I didn't get informed enough.

@Forestluv @Michael569 thank you for the good advices!

I put some money into Cybin, a Canadian company that uses psychedelics for mental disorders. I am giving it a go since imo psychedelics will have a great impact in the future. Has anyone invested in this company? What do you think about it?

I understand what you are saying, and thank you for the nice words. But how can I learn to apply this to my day-to-day life stuff? In general I try to live in the present moment, away from the mental chatter. But with tough situations is many times difficult. I allow myself to feel all the emotions I have, but how can I transform this state into the state of me feeling love in everything and everyone?

Hi everyone. Two years ago my dad and brother had an accident, and front that moment on my life and the life of my family has drastically changed. My brother now is fine, but my dad has a serious brain injury. I feel I am taking good care of myself, and I have learned, and grew a lot thanks to this accident, even though it's still difficult every day if my life. Even though I am doing great with handling "negative" emotions, it's more difficult for me to live the "positive" ones. More specifically: I can be happy with no problem, but what I struggle the most I feeling love. I am a super emotional person, and every emotion I get, I can feel it in my body, but for some reason I can't feel the physical sensation I would get when someone shares their love for me (it used to be a great, strong warm feeling in my chest). I don't have it when my mom, grandma, and my brother share their love. To some extent I am okay with that, but what bothers me is that I can't get that feeling with my girlfriend. Why is that? How can I change this? I feel like I am super loving with my family and especially with my girlfriend, but I'm sure that if I would feel the sensation in my body I would be even more. Pls help and thanks for reading ❤️

Yes but I think that like this he doesn't get super criticized by society, the way that they did with Osho. And like this he can still be a good influence on people without giving too radical ideas

Why do many people criticize Sadhguru and say he's a fraud? I don't actively follow his teachings, but when I watch his videos, most of the times I get good value.

+1

Yeah I also heard the same. But idk, I don't like playing with t he's compounds that overuse your hormones. MDMA really fuks your serotonin

Yes it takes practice. This means that before starting with these videos you can spent 10 minutes a day recording yourself talking about whatever, without any script. Imagine you're talking to somebody, to a close friend who's asking help perhaps. When you start feeling more confident then start with videos with the connect you want to talk about.

In my opinion is not healthy to totally delete these things from your life. Personally when I do it I don't last more than 5 or 7 days, cause then I get so overwhelmed that I get a crisis hahah The best way is to limit the time you spend on these things. You could for example spend max 5 hours a week socializing (2.5h on Wednesday, and 2.5h on Saturday, or something like that). Then max 30 minutes a day watching news, and 30mins watching Netflix before bed. You can make a list with your priorities and based on that you organize how much time you can spend on a certain activity.

You don't have to fight your thoughts and feelings. As I said before, everything you feel is totally valid. If the thoughts are overwhelming, then you can work on that. Try to see that there is magic laying on the simple fact that you're existing right now; let me be more clear: I often feel like you, and my tough family situation doesn't help at all. But I am slowly getting better and stronger thanks to meditation and mindfulness. Let go of your thoughts, focus on the present moment. Let yourself feel all the emotions you have. Also taking microdoses of psychedelics helped me with this kind of work.

There's nothing wrong with this. It's not about what you've done, seen, etc. Your feelings are totally valid the way they are.

Just said what I think about it, I don't see the problem.

No

But how can we really learn from the Bible and its metaphors if the translations are not right? What we know about Jesus is mainly from the Bible, which is a collection of books written in different ancient languages that were translated in wrong ways.

Would be nice for it to happen

Yeah I remember some months ago I tried a small amount of it and I felt the effect, but rn I can't tell if it was weaker or not. Will try it again soon. Thanks!
