I just had 1 real psychedelic expericience with DMT (changa), so Im no expert, but for me its a full disappearance of reality. Like going to another dimension. Appearance of fractals, lots of color, entities, hallucination of sounds, the 'sense' of Nothingness, Infinity, the Void... I dint have an awakening with DMT, although I experienced Nothingness, Infinity, and saw the Void. This experience with weed didn't have any visuals. Reality stayed exactly the SAME. Just changed the context. 'I' appreciated Reality, Oneness, Absolute Truth for the first time.

I wouldn't say psychedelic effects but...

Nope. 'You' 'do something', and your ego (The 'I' thought) appropriates the action (like the kid in a group project that does nothing but puts his name anyway') All of these 3 are just concepts. Mind constructions. Is very well explained in Leo's videos. -
Why don't we substitute ambition with Love? Is like ambition but leaning toward the positive side. Hitler was very ambitious... Ambition sounds more selfish. Just caring about me and my tribe. Not saying is bad per se. Just adding nuances. Having Love as the North Start can be more effective and powerful (think of Gandhi, Mandela, MLK, Jesus...)

Is too much. I tried this approach and doesn't work (at least for me) Do you believe you can internalize all this? I looks like this one on the left: If you get stuck you can try this approach: -Pick 3-4 big rocks like Steven Covey said. (ex: career, spirituality, relationships & health) -Of those, pick ONE in which you are going full out for the next month/season. -Put the other 2-3 in maintenance mode. -Just write a couple of statements for each rock, no more. Strip away all the fluff until you get one or two powerful statements. The less the better. Good luck!

yep, looks awesome In my booklist for Christmas This is the opening quote. This guy knows something.

Check it out between 2:07 to 2:45. Pure confidence and chill. 'I don't give a fuck' attitude. For me, thats the face of mastery, as George Leonard puts it. This week I was looking for some old people as inspiration, some reference as to how to life a great life in my late years. 'what would be a great life in my 60s+? - I asked myself This guy came to mind. Mastery (flow) + Spiritual work = True happiness / Joy

There is no replacement. That guided exercise is similar to neti neti. Stripping away layers of concepts Negating everything until I arrived at... Nothing! Actuality! Absolute Truth! (I think what you call 'total openess' is what I refer to with these words). -

Nope, thats not what happened. I wasn't trapped in the self! I wasn't the center, I wasn't an experiencer! I was the experience Thats what scared me haha I didnt let go of the self. I didn't surrender. It wasn't intentional. That just happened. Reality manifests itself': Yes. This. That is, there is nothing more to know or understand, it is pure existence, what you are. glory, happiness and laughter.' Yes. And for me, also: fear. My heart pumping HARD. (Is funny that the next day I was watching some video of Leo and said exactly that: You are probably going to feel your heart racing and you may feel a panic attack. YES I did. Exactly. That was what I was thinking. How to maintain it? Is that even possible? Or we just get an increase in baseline day to day consciousness? I think is more like this. We get the up & down, but the baseline is now 'higher'. More open, as you say. -

What do you mean? Biology, math, atoms, the number 6 are concepts. Not Reality. How can I have a RAW experience of 'biology'? That is a layer upon Reality. mmm.. that's what I was thinking today and yesterday. What's the difference between awakening and enlightenment? Is enlightenment a permanent awakening? Is that even possible? Imagine Leo talking to a hot girl in the club. 'He' is not the Infinite Field of Consciousness at that moment hahah He is just a man talking to a woman, trying to get his needs met. I think is impossible. I still don't grab this. I was asking that because I feel I can go deeper, and wanted feedback of people who had gone deeper. I realize I can have an awakening, but not being deep or broad enough (for example, I didn't awakened to Infinite Love) I always hated when people 'parrot' those terms. But now I got it. I know what they point to. Before it felt like if I was a virgin and people talked about 'cumming' 'orgasm'. They were just words without substance. Now is like I lost my virginity and I know by direct experience what they are pointing at. But yeah, I realize those are just concepts. A way to communicate between humans -
koops replied to koops's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I wasn't meditating. I was watching the video 'Guided exercise for realizing you are God'. Now I understand why Leo warns people about meditation. I went way deeper this time with the guided exercise. Was a totally different experience. I get what you are saying here. The thing about awakening is that is spontaneous. I was watching the video and it happened. It was a realization, a radical recontextualization or reality. In fact, I was scared. I didn't wanted to surrender that much! But it just happened. -
koops replied to koops's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Of course. Now I only have a memory of that. Now all that is just a concept. The ego-mind is identified with 'having experienced an awakening'. And he loves it. How tricky! He is even claiming that it did it! The question is: Is possible to live permanently in that state? Are enlightened people living in that state? When you ask Rupert Spira about awakening or consciousness, is the talking via DIRECT PRESENT LIVING experience? I doubt it. And even if he does, just by putting it into words for an explanation, 'what it Is' is already lost with a layer of concepts. Is the finger, not the moon. But at the end of the day, we have to communicate in some way. -
koops replied to koops's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
There was not total calm. I can tell you that. haha Was a mix of fear and uncontrollable laughter. I was saying 'this is it' 'this is it' I consider it organic. It happened. It was a sudden realization. Thoughts arose. But 'I' wasn't having them. They just appeared. It wasn't a meditative state. Way way different experience. At the end it remind me of Leo's live awakening videos. mmm still don't get what you are saying here. maybe in the future I will -
koops replied to koops's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Really? Isn't this the 'basic foundation' of awakening? How can you have an awakening without realizing this? Yes, I get what you are saying. Now I realize the memory of the awakening is just that, a memory. A concept. I realize I'm attached to the story. Is an ego trip. The ego-mind now fragmented reality into: 'having an awakening' and 'not having an awakening'. And it likes to identify itself with the first one. How sneaky -
Solitude is number 1. Not full isolation, but long periods of solitude is a must. Inspirational reading, contemplation and introspection. I also like the concept by Sam Ovens of just 'looking outside the window from 10,000 feet view'. Understanding trends. Understanding where the Adjacent posible in your field is. So: Solitude + inspiration + contemplation + introspection + deep 'feel' and understanding of where your niche is at.

@Razard86 thank you for your words @Yimpa yes, I realize there is more to it. We'll see where this goes -
In my previous post I talked about integrating Purple (+60 practical ideas to implement it). Read it before this one. Its impossible to integrate red without purple. Goes DEEP: In this one I rant about red. Its going to resonate with men for most part. Feedback is welcome. Lets go. RED: What is red? Everything that resonates with: -Risk. Action. Hero. Warrior. Fight. Blood. Adrenaline Red is about: -Challenging your body for the sake of doing it, almost in a masochistic way. Feel alive. Take RISKS. Warrior mentality. -Expressing your SEXUAL ENERGY in healthy ways. -Having clear BOUNDARIES & consequences when crossed; so you can fully stick to your blue principles. -Thinking less. Take ACTION. -Start thinking how you can life a HEROIC life. How can you flirt with death? PRACTICAL STEPS: - Stop talking about ‘masculinity'. Talk about MANLINESS. - Think of all your DEEPEST (legal) SEXUAL KINKY FANTASIES. Make them REAL. STOP - watching - porn as a mean to satisfy your these fantasies. Follow this rule: 'Im only going to watch porn videos that I had put into practice before in real life' Ex: If you haven't done a threesome, don't watch threesome videos. GO do a threesome in REAL life!) -Learn about BDSM, and implement it. -Ravish your woman. Slap her, spit on her, choke her, piss on her (CONSENSUAL! Don’t be stupid!) She has to genuinely enjoy this even more than you do. Can you reach a point where she begs you to do it? Is she getting more pleasure out of this than you do? -Approach that girl in the club conveying your masculine sexual energy. Go for a ONS (sober) with talking as little as possible. Just pure physical, energetic, polarizing, raw, visceral attraction. Be proud of that sexual 'conquest' -Eye contact. Even to the point were is uncomfortable. -Don't smile if its not sincere. - Challenge your body: -Wake up at 6am and go for a run outside in the cold, or for a swim in the sea. Or sprint until you are nauseous. Just for the sake of it. Is painful, is uncomfortable but you are a beast, and you love it. -Go to martial arts classes. Master at least 3 moves (ex: jab-straight right hand; jab-low kick; near choke; 1 takedown). Learn how to dodge punches. You don’t really need more than that to be confident enough for handling a threatening situation. -Fast for +48h. Feel how adaptable and strong your body is. Enjoy the hunger. Fuck this society standards of eating 3 times a day. You are a warrior. You don’t need that. -Confront people when they cross your boundaries (verbally). -Go for a walk in a poor dangerous neighborhood (go with a lot of cash in your wallet if you dare). -Write down a list of boundaries you have, and the consecuences when somebody crosses them. Spend a full day contemplating and introspecting on that. -You propably aren’t psycho enough. Go 10% more psycho. Care less about what people think. You still will be caring too much anyways. Satisfy your needs. -Pump your chest like a Silverback Gorilla. Hard! Moan. -Look at yourself in the mirror and bark like a fucking pitbull! Feel the animal energy moving through your body. Awaken that savage energy within you. -Ask yourself: ''Am I willing to die for something?’' ''If I have to give my life for a cause, what would it be?'' ''For what cause will I go to jail, or fast for a full month?'' - RED is not about doing illegal things, fighting people or even violence. Is about ASSERTIVENESS. It's about: Are you willing to fight if necessary? Are you afraid of confrontation or violence? Take the example of Gandhi: Is he red? Of course not. His philosophy is non-violence. But he had healthy red. -He wasn’t afraid of flirting with death, (he fasted for 3 weeks). -He wasn’t afraid of taking a beating. -He wasn’t afraid of spending time in jail (and maybe getting fucked in the ass) If he hadn’t integrated healthy read, maybe he wouldn’t stick to his principles. He had deep solid boundaries and wasn’t afraid of the consequences for sticking to them (deep suffering, death). All of your cool nice little blue values mean shit if you are not willing to draw a line in the sand and deal with the consecuences Another great example is David Deida. He is a healthy green man. But listen when he talks about ravishing your woman. Thats healthy red integrated. You can’t ravish a woman if you are not connected with that deep visceral passion. Is that mix of: Capacity for aggression / Being unapologetic about your dark desires + Deep love Is like they say: Fuck her ass hard; and then read her poetry. Red + Green This a hell of a combo. Dark gentleman. This is what makes women fall deeply in love with you. Even ‘turquoise’ women love men with healthy red. — Coming back to TJ Reeves post that caused controversy talking about being Coral, and wanting to teach Leo about it. He talked about Bruce Lee, Ido Portal or Laird Hamilton being coral (and he himself) because they put their physical life at risk. Those guys are green with healthy red integrated. Admirable, but not coral. An inspiration. For sure, but not sage levels. Just healthy red integrated. ‘I don’t care about death’ attitude. Great healthy examples. PROBLEMS with SKIPPING red As I stated in my Purple post: -You will become a laughable SJW -You will become a sad lonely incel -You will become a stage blue religious racist hating blacks and muslims -You will become a slave of society, media, culture, your boss and your own emotions and impulses Weak. No backbone. Scared. Too much feminine compassion ('welcome refugees!', until they start raping and stabbing people in record numbers. Hello Sweden...) Having climate anxiety. My God... what a bitch you are. Ungrateful of your privileges. You will moralize 'underveloped' people/cultures/countries, not understanding their situation, but thats because you were lucky enough for being born in a healthy family in a 1st world country. You don't feel powerful, so you give shit to others. Now, for a HEALTHIER integration, try the opposite of this macho-mindset I listed in the beginning. -Wear pink. -Do feminine practices like yoga, tai chi, qigong.. -Watch rom-coms without being insecure. Understand why women love this. -Get in touch with 'feminine emotions' -Go to ballet performances -Do he chores with pink gloves. -Wear an apron for cooking As Leo said in a video: A man brings a man into whatever he is doing. The activity doesnt define the man, the man defines de activity. If you get this right... man, your life will be great. FINAL WORDS: Red is about: -LESS FEAR. MORE ACTION. TAKING THE RISK. Get your backpack over the fence. Orange will make a strategy, but orange can get paralysis through analysis. Red is this voice in your head : ‘dude you already read 10 books this month, you are a bitch, go outside and talk to 10 girls; or do 10 cold calls NOW!’. Is that father talking to you. Is that masculine compassion. Dont get too confortable. Face reality! Commit first, figure out later. - START YOUR HERO'S JOURNEY. INSPIRE people. CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY. > Go watch Leo's video about the Hero's Journey. BRUTAL video. (I watched it last week. Made me rethink my values and vision). The thing is. The hero's journey starts with healthy red: 'fuck that. Lets go'! You have to be willing to scape the tribe (purple). You have to be willing to die for the Holy Grail. Nowadays, people go on a fake journey scaping the conforts of blue, and going into orange and some green. Having casual sex, getting into a relationships, building a business, getting a 6pack, trying some drugs, traveling... but that shit is EMPTY. Without red, your vision is always going to be small. Group-think infected. The largest your vision, the higher the risk; the more healthy red you need. Of course, you need blue and orange qualities, but first of all you need BALLS. (Think of Gandhi) And of course you also need green: * Redirect that wild, aggressive energy into LOVE. * (Essence of healthy red from my POV) With women. With other men. With your mission. With the world. With yourself. Turn: Fear into ACTION. Logic into guts. Passivity in to glory. Thinking into doing. Safety into RISK. You'll find the way. Stop overthinking, stop theorizing, stop playing it safe. Start fighting for a bigger cause. Be who you are, and let the chips fall where they may. Redirect that wild aggressive energy into LOVE, and fill the world with it. Much love -k

Half truths. 30 year old, millionaire, and no experience with women. What can go wrong there? hahah Then you hear about all those guys crying about how his wife took half his shit. You NEED to know how to get women BEFORE you have the money.
-
There is a balance to it. Think of it like a triangle and 3 vortex. 1st: The red pill, game, orange stuff. (good for casual sex) 2nd: The Deida, Perrion style, more lovingly green style. (good for intimate relationships) 3rd: The most important (but this doesn't sell well) . Your inner work, self-mastery, knowing who you are, your strengths, being on your path... (good for everything). You need those 3 things in order to enjoy women and in order to be in a great relationship. A table can't stand with just 2 legs. Most guys don't have any of those. Some are just good looking and some were just ''lucky'' to get a gf, but they are going to be in trouble maintaining it. There is no way around it. Look for your weak spot, and work on it. It can take years, and the lesson can be brutal. Huge emotional labour. Women will make you face reality like nothing else. And the pain of facing that truth can be too much for some. Girls are not settling as much as decades before. Thats why some guys now are quitting. They are not mgtows, they are quitters. Incels. If you want casual sex or a hot, smart, nice girlfriend, step up. Stop looking for excuses.
-
@Nivsch Yes, assertiveness seems to be one of the key aspects of integrating red.
-
@Fluran I won't suggest using substances in order to get in touch with 'red'
-
I always talk about how toxic social media is. -Isolates people -Brings hostility & quick judgements -Fills us with hate -Promotes superficiality. Robs us opportunities for depth. -Infect us with groupthink. -It multiplies the levels of judgement. And judgement is a disease that isolate us. So, as I’m now working on reducing judgement, I created this 3-PART RULE for reducing judgement: Here it is: I won’t judge anyone unless: -I met this person live. Face to face. -I spent at least 30 minutes talking to him. -I know basic stuff about his childhood, teen years, and relationships with his parents. And also try to remember Great Gatsby’s opening paragraph: In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. "Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had." Think of Jada. So easy to judge. -30 second clips. -140 word tweets. -Some funny memes. But understand the hell she’s been through. Starting in his childhood, teens, and now. Understand her context. It hit me in this podcast I stumble across: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwFxptz77II And this is not about Jada. Extrapolate this to anyone you judge. We judge because we want to feel superior. We judge because we want that cheap dopamine spike. We need to stop. I need to stop. My friends and I were judging her, Will and the whole situation a few months back. Without knowing any context. Reacting to media. Thats just stupid behavior. That's the first lesson I learnt. Reduce judgement remembering the Gatsby quote, and this 3 part rule. ---- Here I post about the 2nd lesson (deep):
-
Here is the first lesson: I found this one belongs in this section of the forum. This 2nd lesson is about DEEP RELATIONSHIPS. Not just relationships. About what I named: DEEP ’30-YEAR-POST-DEATH LOVE LETTER' RELATIONSHIP. Let me explain. I was writing my post about ‘Integrating Purple’, quitting social media addiction and actually going deep with your tribe. Then I stumble with this Jada Smith podcast. And it hit me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRP1q1Jj-7o&ab_channel=JayShettyPodcast I was neglecting deep friendships. I was neglecting deep relationships aside from my loving relationship. I hit me specially when he talks about the letter 2Pac send her. 30 years have passed. And she stills remembers it. She still feels it deeply. She stills cries over it. Luckily I have sent and received love letters from my girlfriend; and some texts from a close friend who, sadly, passed. And I keep those deep in my heart. And in a special drawer. I will be 60 and still get emotional rereading them. So my point is: When was the last time you STOPPED the cycle of day to day distraction in order to go deep into your feelings for THAT person? Yes, that one you are thinking about. And actually invest the time, energy, focus and emotional labour to put into paper your feelings for them. Writing something tangible, real, that will stand the test of time. Something that will deepen your most cherished relationships. When was the last time you wrote a love letter? Not just a love letter, I mean: A deep ’30 year-post-death’ love letter that brings you (and your recipient) to tears. The kind of letter that if you die today; your girlfriend/ son /father/ friend/ mentor/ mentee would still cry full of joy, sadness, melancholy 30 years later reading it. Or viceversa: The kind of letter that if your girlfriend/ son /father/ friend/ mentor/ mentee die today; you still will cry full of joy, sadness, melancholy 30 years later reading it. It doesn't have to be a letter. It can also be: -a poem -a photo printed (with a dedication in the back) -a painting (titanic style) -a special book with a personal dedication -a significant gift Or a combination of these. Something TANGIBLE. That you/they can touch. Smell. Feel. Sense. Something real. Something that ages, that deteriorates with time, like your body. Something impregnated with love. Something that merges life and death. Doing spiritual practices, contemplation, meditation or introspection, is great. Being alone is great. Solitude is great. I can't understand life without these practices. BUT. What is the point of life without a few deep ’30 year-post-death love letter’ relationships? Break the cycle of unconsciousness. Stop. Think of the people you love. Sit down with a candle and a piece of paper. And write (you can get ideas in these articles: https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/advice/the-art-of-letter-writing/) Make life worth remembering. Imagine how the face of your loved ones would bright when they receive your letter. Take your time. Go deep into your feelings. You will be glad you did it. Today, and 30 years from now. Much love -k

Ofc, no need to go neurotic. I realize some things may be over the top. The key is to find your sweet spot
-
I understand what you are saying. And yes, you are right, this post is for people who already past that window, which I suppose is the vast majority of this forum (people with some healthy blue, orange and green, so they won't go over the top with this action steps). The reality is that most people in west, as you said, need to go back to purple and red and integrate this stages. Thats the point of my post. Of course this post is NOT for 14 year olds Tate supporters. That would be a mess. I wouldn't say any of this to a 14 year old. What I posted were examples of actions/habits that a healthy adult could implement. Sometimes a bit of overcompensation works. If you are super shy man, afraid of talking to women, spending a few months day-gaming for hours, talking to hundreds of women and going in dozens of dates can be a good idea, although is not sustainable, but is needed to break from the shell. The same starting a business. You can be working 12+ hours per day for months, so after you can take the foot off the pedal. The same integrating other stages. An hedonistic stage orange wanting to integrate blue for example. Maybe he needs to stick to a super strict routine for weeks or months, giving up pleasures with tight accountability. Or a rationalist-scientific orange. Maybe he needs to go full woo-woo yoga, new age, before finding a nice balance between healthy orange and healthy green spirituality. Each person needs to find their balance.
