@The Crocodile That makes sense, but then if it's nothing why was it even defined in the first place, or how could it be discovered if it is nothing?

this is beautiful

Hey everyone, Just wondering, is it effective to dissolve an LSD paper tab in a bottle of water and take a small sip to simulate microdosing? Will the acid dissolve effectively off the paper, has anybody tried this?

If there is no difference between anything, what about, for example, a human being able to walk and a rock not being able to walk?

@Leo Gura I am struggling to realize the statement that nothing = something. How would it apply in a situation where there is a book with the perception of a red colour versus the absence of the book that doesn't have the perception of anything. How are those equal? Am I taking it too literally?

Software engineer, currently pursuing life coaching on the side as well, building towards it slowly.

If Nothingness is indeed absolute nothing, then how can one have an experience of it?

I have recently committed to building my life purpose of being a coach and self-actualisation teacher, but I also have a dream to get deep in music production and make music one day as a master of sound. I also really wish to pursue chess in a dedicated way one day and I have a goal to maybe become a GM. My point is that I am so passionate about life that I feel like I want to end up having pursued multiple purposes. Is this viable?

@Emerald This was very helpful thank you!

I recently completed the life purpose coach and after years of lots of searching, I found that the purpose I wish to create for myself is coaching (still yet to find my niché and build my business). My first step is that I am currently completing a 3-6 month transformation coaching certification and then I will also be looking into website building etc. I wanted to know if there are any successful life coaches on the forum that I could maybe setup a meeting with just to ask questions and get some insights into the field and the career itself (Leo saying do lots of research! - this is part of that research). Much appreciated!

@Leo Gura I definitely do think I will find time for a girlfriend/wife but kids I think is something that would definitely take too much away from the levels I want to reach. I think I have more of a bent towards being a reality explorer than a father, despite knowing I would be a great father if I chose to have children. I am 27 so I still have time to work hard, contemplate this and decide as I go along. But I would be lying if I said a solo (no kids) life filled with life purpose, psychedelics, spiritual awakenings, innovating creativity and deep reality exploration doesn't appeal to me WAY MORE. Also because I really love quiet and solitude a lot and autonomy. Is marriage something you would ever consider?

@Leo Gura you are one incredible role model for what a 'human' life has the potential to be - I hope one day I manage to get through all the books, all your videos, all the practices and everything in between to reach such insane levels that you have and also bring new innovation and creativity to this world.

I just want to share this in case anyone else has had a similar experience. Seeing the depth of Reality that can actually be explored and the levels of growth, spiritual connection and awakening, creativity and innovation that can be unlocked and explored based on what Leo's blog and teachings show, has actually deeply moved me to consider never getting married or having children, purely so that I can free up my entire life to pursue this realm to the same depth that Leo has. It's so inspiring to see just how far the rabbit hole ACTUALLY goes. Makes marriage seem boring to me personally. His latest blog posts about unlocking the capacity to innovate and create using more and more of God's infinite mind excites me 1000x deeper. Anyone else feeling the same way? Right now I have this insane fire burning that is making me rearrange every aspect of my life to serve the highest levels of self-actualisation, it's so awesome! I want to design life to serve the highest possible vision, which is so difficult because there are so many aspects, but man it is so fulfilling. Only reverse-osmosis filtered water, only glass products, only organic food, books, Leo's teachings, spiritual practices, contemplation, retreats, life purpose, removing every toxic habit that has been conditioned, designing my environment, psychedelics and on and on and on and on... I won't have time for marriage and kids lol.

@Leo Gura In terms of God living through itself so that it can understand its own entirety and love itself fully (this was alluded to in "The Radical Implications of Oneness), will God eventually experience EVERY possible version of what can be imagined in its awareness? Even though it doesn't have to.

Based on the implications of being awareness (God) experiencing itself through infinity, does this mean one day as pure awareness, I will have the experience of being a red triangle riding a camel through a tunnel of green light? I am purposefully picking something absolutely random to drive the point home. Make sense? Anyone got any feedback on this question? Furthermore does this mean I will experience every scene from every movie that I've seen, exactly as it happened?
