@Evelyna Quite a profound insight. I like dogs but have only ever had cats! You’re right about that though. Dogs are very in the moment and have a deep emotive connection with their human owners. We can all be more dog

It’ll be the book to end all books if Leo publishes

@cjoseph90 If you watch a lot of YouTube and hate mindless ads then yes. You get YT music as well though I prefer Apple so not much use for me

@Unlimited I have had an awareness that most of my life is outside of my control so in that sense yes it is mostly predetermined. You didn’t choose where you were born, where you went to school, who your parents are, the people you met, experiences that changed you. You didn’t plan any of that it just happens This is where the concept of letting go ultimately comes from and not resisting what the universe throws at you. Being in the flow with it all You can’t connect the dots moving forward, only by looking back it makes sense Saying all of this, from a place of God consciousness this will be completely different I can only imagine. You will be in control of your infinite creation of mind. I have not had an experience of this though

In my experience karma is definitely real. When I am out of alignment with the divine the world will respond with pain. That is just part of the journey of life and the learning process I’m not sure about the concept of a past life and that impacting you now - that is not something I consider in my experience of the universe and where I am right now. However there is generational trauma that gets past down from our parents and this goes back thousands of years from the point that civilisation was created off the back of violence and conflict. We have to try and unfuck ourselves by connecting with the divine

@Dodo I recently had an insight on love The key issue is a fear of rejection. Rejection is ultimately the felt experience of the ego. What it means to us personally as an identity if someone says no. How we reconcile that with ourselves in other words But the expression of true love and affection for someone needs no reciprocation. To express love for someone honestly and authentically is a reward in and of itself. Why? Because it feels good to be authentically and unashamedly true to your emotions, but also because it makes the person in receipt of that love feel good, even if they say no. It doesn’t matter To be able to express love in your own unique way without the need for positive reciprocation is not easy. I believe it’s on a spectrum unless you are in a very conscious place. There will always be a percentage of you that is expressing love for someone with the hope of positive reciprocation, but the aim is to lower that percentage as much as you can so it is from a place of purity. This is where I believe your own state is EVERYTHING. When you are in a high state you will not care about rejection so much and will love with more purity. Of course with a low state your ego starts calling the shots and needs that validation

@Someone here I also have deep seated attachments though it fluctuates depending on my state and connectedness to the divine. The more connected to love the less attached to what the world has to offer One thing I have managed to do is break much of my attachment to material wealth. Used to be more driven by that but now I do not care. I find so much satisfaction in the simple things. This is basically the snake oil that we are sold with capitalism. That to be happy you need more money and more things! Buy buy buy I do believe it is fine however, to want the goodies life offers, but to need it is the problem. I mean who would say no to a million cash in the bank? Of course you would want that if someone offered but if they changed their mind, that’s okay too. Perhaps that’s the question to contemplate on a trip. Do I really need this to be happy? I can want it for sure, but if the universe says no, then can I be okay with that? In terms of smart phone attachment I often go for long bike rides and walks and leave my phone at home. I can be out for hours with no device on hand. Give that a go Bless you on your spiritual journey 🙏

@integral People will just lap up any old shit he says because they have no idea what is actually going on in the world. What he says sounds good so it must be good! The people are so easily manipulated and led astray. I’m of the opinion that if people want to vote Trump, let them vote Trump. I actually don’t get too hung up on that even though it’ll be bad for the US and the rest of the world. People gotta face the karma of their own decisions. Life satisfaction is pretty low across the western world and Trump ain’t gunna change that. Tax the rich, redistribute and bring about conscious shifts by helping people connect with the divine. This is the only way

@mac99 Nothing wrong with lust - shows you have a healthy libido. It’s channeling that lust into sexual intent and intimacy with women rather than expelling it on porn

Yes well put More chance you end up bumping up against one another and conflict arising. Like with traffic on the roads. The more traffic the more road rage

With the population having surpassed 8 billion I do believe that this is a simply unsustainable figure given our current conscious development to have proper social cohesion and a healthy relationship with the planets biodiversity and ecosystem. We are obviously on a very turbulent path with many moving parts that become more fragile and run the risk of great catastrophe with higher population levels. This whole topic though is very controversial to even discuss but I do not believe humanity is consciously developed yet to live in harmony and deal with our shit at this population scale. Dealing with the worlds problems is a hell of a lot harder with massive populations that are increasingly disconnected from each other and nature. I don’t necessarily think population controls are the right way forward as forcing its application I believe to be unethical. Perhaps we need a new social paradigm and contract with the people to shift social norms and to bring population levels down so we can live in greater harmony and balance with the planet. This goes hand in hand with challenging this growth narrative which is obviously unsustainable I do totally get the argument that as societies develop birth rates naturally fall so this is part of the solution but maybe that’s not enough and won’t be as impactful? The time lines I don’t think work as we move closer to environmental breakdown leading to a shopping list of problems for humankind. I personally don’t see why the above as a topic should be controversial when put in the proper context. It’s a bit like assisted suicide. Why is that so controversial? It shouldn’t be if people who have chronic health conditions want to die peacefully allow them to rather than suffer on Anyway curious to see what people think about this - is the population simply unmanageable? If so how best to respond?

@BlessedLion honestly that sounds like you have the perfect set up. Access to women but able to maintain a life of mostly solitude. I’m finding that I can’t have the former if I keep too much of the latter! Unless the universe changes its mind for me

@KenDo I have only been doing psychedelics for a couple of years now and consider myself barely dipping my toe in the absolute potential of psychedelics Good that you are starting with mushrooms. That is sensible because the duration is not too long and you can easily dose. You don’t know your tolerance yet so the key is to become more familiar with a change in consciousness. That is ultimately what happens. You’re consciousness changes and if you take too much too soon it’ll freak you out. When I started I only microdosed to get a feel for what I was getting myself into. On mushrooms that is around 100mg though again it varies depending on your tolerance. Personally I would start there and work your way up. In terms of sourcing that is often the hard part. When I really wanted to get into psychedelics I had no connect and couldn’t source. A couple of leads I had went flat. I literally took myself to the Peak District which is a local national park where liberty caps grow and I picked them myself! Obviously be very sensible here but at the time I had no source so that’s what I did. I do now have a reliable and trustworthy source. Through a friend of a friend. Reach out to your networks and see if there are any connections is the best bet. I wouldn’t do anything with the dark web. Fuck that.

I have not done radically high doses but even for the highest dose I did I did not experience visuals. Just divine connectedness with reality and intense perception changes

@An young being To actually shape reality at a large scale

Sounds grand I’m assuming you will have a kind of taster video to share to get a feel for the content before purchase?

I had a profound insight today on LSD about love and how it applies to rejection in life Basically to express love and affection for the sake of love is a reward in itself. Often we tell someone they’re beautiful or that we love them but actually the ego is looking to get something from it, but to express your love for the sake of love is very different. You want to express authentic love that is in you and you want that love to be felt by another. In this sense it does not matter if they reject you because the reward is in itself. It feels good to do that regardless of what they say It’s like you are beautiful because you are beautiful and I’m saying that because I want you to know. Not for any other reason. This is ultimately how you will overcome rejection. It feels good to do that But interestingly how you express that love is unique to you. It’s to be authentic with that and unashamed and that’s actually the hard bit at least for me At the back end of the trip I got hit by rejection. Just some group I hadn’t been invited to and that made me feel upset but hey it’s part of the universe. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh but have faith it’ll work out in the end I do love LSD. I find it connects me with the love more than on mushrooms

long one. Bit of a rant about my life. Maybe I should speak to a shrink Im not in mid life but i have all the components of a mid life crisis. What was, still is, and what is does not satisfy me any longer. Problem is I’m stuck. I have been on a very long journey with my business but since embarking on the journey 6 years ago I am a changed man. Basically I’m in limbo stuck with a business that still does not pay me a wage, so having to do a job in sales that I really don’t like but that pays well and is flexible so I can still work on the company. I work for a university so benefits are good. I just feel really fucked off sometimes. I have been pretty introverted as well for the last 10 years or so I’m changing that but still feel that the potential for radical change is held back by my situation that is not allowing me to fully actualise it. I want to go further faster Now I know that things will eventually change. Nothing ever stays the same. We are edging closer to being revenue generating so we can go to an investor and I can pay myself a wage to be CEO full time but when this will be who knows? Honestly you would not believe how long things take. We have prospective businesses that have been in the pipeline for sometime now that haven’t move to contract stage. And as long as this still plods on at a snails pace I am stuck in a bullshit job Sometimes I ask the universe why? Why is it taking so long? What is the purpose of this limbo? Especially when I have had the conscious shifts and want to change. Change is too slow for me. I want action but I have committed to the company which keeps me locked in from changing radically which I want The irony of venturing with this was to give me freedom. It has done just about the opposite Just really pissed off sometimes. Looking to meet more women in my life which I am working on but that I know is ultimately not fully realised because of my state. I would say my state fluctuates between 40% - 60% so I am not in essence as happy and satisfied as I know I can be and that rubs off. Again because of the situation Again I’m making changes in my life but they’re not happening fast enough nor radically enough. Fuck it I might just buy myself a motorbike. I have wanted to do that! Excuse the bitching but maybe someone can relate here

@LastThursday cheers some wise words The thing is I’m not so bothered about success or failure with the business - at least nowhere near like I was before. Of course I will be devastated at first but it’s just about wanting to move on with my life. Just to move on. This is all I ask of the universe so I can properly actualise the things that are now important to me. New priorities have emerged The motorbike is about growth for me. The sense of freedom and liberation and being able to hit the road on two wheels at speed where there is jeopardy. You’re far more vulnerable on a bike than a car but that’s where the thrill is! Hopefully things get moving for you in your world. What’s the sticky point that’s hindering progress?

@Someone here In my view religion itself is completely unnecessary and will create stories and concepts that might not help in pursuit of the divine. Religious texts are so full of contradictions and bullshit mostly though there is wisdom to be found if you are mature and conscious enough to cut through However I did grow up in a semi Christian family so I understand about the religious qualities. As someone who is spiritual but not religious I do see the profundity in the teachings of Jesus. He was a highly spiritual person very attuned to the divine. I don’t know if Muhammad was quite as spiritually connected as Jesus but that is a bias on my part as I do not know so much about Islam. What is nice about religion is the community side that you don’t get from being a solo spiritual seeker but that I would say is the best way to come face to face with the divine. Before there was Islam there was no Islam. It is made up by people that interpreted the message of solo spiritual seekers and then it got passed down generation after generation To truly follow in the path of Jesus or Muhammad is to be a solo spiritual seeker. It is your universe to discover and your goal is to clear your mind of all concepts and stories until you are left with the essence of reality. Tbh if Jesus suddenly came back from the dead he’d probably say to those with their head stuck in the bible wtf are you doing? The divine cannot be found in the nature of thought and concepts but in the present moment

Thought it would be interesting to start a thread of the special places where we meditate or do psychedelics. Here’s where I like to sit to connect with the divine. Beautiful spot. Very blessed 🙏

@BlessedLion Will check the video out yoof. Very blessed 🙏

@eTorro For me I find there are different qualities of happiness for the material and immaterial world I can find happiness and the flow in my work or connecting with people but also happiness in those quiet moments of solitude but yes happiness can only be from within that it arises. To be in a state of flow with the universe unrestricted and uninhibited. To enjoy the material world that is on offer as if it was your playground to do as you will

@jacknine119 style baby

@bebotalk I know I’ll be voting for the Green Party. They are the only party that actually has policies that will alleviate societal dysfunction @Danioover9000 The conservatives have presided over perhaps the biggest increase in dysfunction the UK has seen in modern times. Living standards are on the decline, child poverty rates are just awful now. Poverty, massive inequality, the obesity epidemic. The tories don’t give a fuck because they are mostly highly materialistic and deeply unspiritual. They are all about the bling bling and the money money. They are self serving They’ve left a damaging legacy for our children
