Leo has given plenty of warnings. I can understand why people will argue, though. They clearly haven’t had any deep awakenings, so they can only communicate from an ignorant place. A deep mystical experience will humble you, if you choose to embrace it. That’ll suffice to begin to take this work seriously.

Yes, that happens to me as well. Nowadays I’m getting more curious about these intense experiences, rather than rejecting them altogether. I really want to understand what triggers them to arise, and what’s allowing me to handle them. I feel like I’ve always been sensitive, but I simply didn’t know how to tame this ability. I’m really excited to explore this deeper and consciously. I’m also really grateful with the people I surround myself now. I used to hang out with abusive people who only wanted to manipulate me, rather than to understand me.

Thank you, Moksha. I’ll contemplate on this myself as well. I’m aware that all of my old tendencies are coming back to test me. They want my attention, but I know deep in my heart that I don’t have to obey their commands.

That’s the point. You have to directly become conscious; You are the answer.

Biggest trap I believed from nonduality, hands down. Very clever way to deceive yourself from seeing YOURSELF.

Falling in love As the world falls down Makes no sense at all Makes no sense to fall

Thank you everyone in this community for helping me guide my way home. My awakenings have becoming deeper, and I’m less afraid. I still have more to explore, but wow… I’m Everything to explore.

Mine looked like this:

Legendary. Thank you for sharing. Now do it again

Seems to be opposite for me. I feel more awake.

He ultimately lives in Imagination.

I used to reject or avoid that responsibility altogether, mainly from past upbringing and conditioning. Now I’m starting to discover the power of stories. This is a skill I want to nurture.

I’m pretty sensitive to weed at this point; even the tiniest of changes with how I use weed alters my reality greatly. With great power comes great responsibility.

Absolutely, but that would imply going beyond being a human. Those conditions you refer to are human conditions. Also, thank you for sharing that story about your friend. I also have a friend who struggle with a lot of heavy stuff. We used to be really close, but I started to realize that our values were no longer aligning. I speak to her from time to time, but not as much as I used to.

When I have deep trips on psychedelics, I’m not able to maintain my focus and awareness very well. It’s almost like I arrive at a destination I want to explore, but I immediately hit a brick wall and snap out of that experience. Is this an issue you’ll address in your course?

It’s beyond logic as well… amazing. I can’t believe it, but at the same time it all makes sense. I will continue to explore Truth.

Thank you for the pointers and your guidance. Earlier today I was crying… it felt like all the pain that was inside me was flowing out like a river. It’s amazing how freeing it is when personal control is surrendered - even just a little. I feel more in touch with my emotions; the judgements of my present experience are quieting down.

I had an experience like that last night, I think. I didn’t go as deep as I wanted, but I’m totally fine with that. I’m making huge progress relative to my own history (not comparing myself to other people’s journey).

Lava syndrome?

When you say “piece your heart consciously”, you don’t mean literally, right?

I have OCD, and that’s how treatment works for it. I expose myself to smaller fears, while not doing compulsion to neutralize the fear. Once I overcome the smaller fears, I work my way up to more challenging ones. That’s also similar to how my ketamine treatment went. They started me with a low dose, then ramped up to higher dosages. By my last session I was able to do it without a therapist by my side. Yes, I’ve met some in real life. It’s something I need to purposefully do and practice, though, as it’s not something that’s natural for me. Yes, I live in Texas. It’s ironic since Texas is a conservative state; yet ketamine treatment is legal and openly available to those who need it. I’ve shared a bit of my experience here.
