@mmKay I do completely agree from my perspective. Technology is for the most part a burden on my connection with the divine however it is a good resource for new knowledge and perspectives like Actualized. It’s using it for the right reasons as you say It’s more likely to be a burden and hindrance if you are more right side brain like me. If you are very logical and rational you will likely feel more at home with technology I’ve noticed a lot of autistic people work in the technology field. Like Elon musk is right at home in that space

@Jowblob I’ve noticed LSD connects me with love mostly but I have noticed that there’s a come down over the following week where I feel quite depressed. It’s exposing a contrast for me. My deepest insights on love have been through it

@Will1125 indeed that is so

Insight dawned on me. When we think about loving ourselves we tend to only look at this inwardly but the inner and outer are one To love yourself is to allow yourself to not only feel (introverted side) but to express (extroverted side) Think about it. You are consciousness occupying this particular human entity. How best as consciousness can you help this person bring love into their lives. If you only allow them to feel but not express this is not truly loving yourself and vice versa So love yourself. You are your neighbour, you are your partner, you are the stranger in the street

@Clabber Girl I feel exactly the same way in my job. A job that you are not passionate about will drain you of your life energy even if you haven’t done much work. It’s actually quite horrible to put up with I would fuck the job off and do something else Im looking for a new role now. Need the change big time

@Buck Edwards eating junk on a day to day basis would do it. And getting old

@Davino Having enough light is a big one for me especially when WFH

@Inliytened1 But the point is loving others is actually loving yourself. There will be people and passions that you love from that outwardly perspective - this is still you Think of a beautiful woman Loving yourself from the inward perspective to me is allowing this human to deeply feel emotions. To allow the person to be vulnerable and be present with that. That to me is the greatest expression of love from the inward perspective

@Ben2204 Sounds like you had a pretty good bash of that. I have a mate that for one reason or another is a really good wingman. We both appreciate the beauty in women He knows a lot of women. Women feel safe around him lol I feel the fear with and without the wingman. For me it’s more of a mood thing. I’m in a higher state with my mate

@Leo Gura Cool. We need to reflect on the evolution of the human species and civilisation. Go beyond rampant dog eat dog capitalism and scientific reductionism

@Someone here One of the biggest causes of suicide is depression. You feel very numb in this space and life does not feel worth it

@Yimpa I think I would be quite delicious

@Buck Edwards It can be just as equally brutal for men as you could be facing endless torture. I don’t think you can say it’s worse for one sex over the other Women feel more afraid and vulnerable so there is that. Ultimately it’s a decision people make when they join the armed forces. Everyone should be aware of the risks rather than sold a glorified fantasy of war and conflict

Thinking about investing in nootropics. Lions Mane I know is a common one for mental clarity. I was also looking at Daniel Schmachtenberger’s Qualia though they’re a bit expensive as I would need to import from the US. I’m Uk based and not sure if they are much better than other brands Any suggestions? Especially nootropics for improving baseline consciousness and mental clarity

Interested to know if anyone has any techniques to elevate state. I sometimes need to boost myself after my energy is drained from work I find listening to music and singing helps me. I’m an expressive person

Hopefully I’ve added this poll properly so that people can vote because I can’t! Not done a poll on here before

@LastThursday Some good stuff there yoof. Needs to be something I can just do spontaneously

@Leo Gura Van life sounds cool. I’ve seen some videos of people doing this in the Uk though it’s not easy as the laws are very strict. Can’t just rock up to a nature reserve and camp out in a van. Everything is private land and the road laws don’t permit overnight parking As for travelling around the world in a van maybe in the future I’d commit to that! I’ve never done actual travelling other than the odd holiday here and there so hostels I’ll start with

@PurpleTree Yeh I think staying in hostels is how I’m going to do it. Need that social element. I’ll be travelling alone but I want to meet new people

@Ramanujan Lol I’ve done enough grinding

@oldhandle You have to prioritise what matters to you in life and commit to change. I can tell you starting a company is fucking hard as a director into one myself When working on a business you will trade one for the other. Ironically I feel that the business has deprived me of the extroverted field of existence so I am now making up for that at 30 but this looks to be the opposite with yourself The next 6 months are critical for me and the business. I have now made it clear that if we do not have the necessary investment by then I will be selling my stake in the company and moving on. Up to the universe what happens now not me

@Shodburrito I think a lot has to do with ambition. If you have a lot of ambition you will have a grand vision for what you want your life to be and to truly actualise on that requires significant personal development The greater the ambition the greater personal development you need. Most people are just not that ambitious. Conscious plays a part as well

@Nemra Malaga is a solid bet

@Something Funny There is an intensity with LSD that you don’t get so much with mushrooms. Mushrooms feels more floaty to me whereas LSD gives you intense focus and emotional charge
