Beautiful :')

Here you go!

Get good at sitting for a hour strong determination and it'll tremendously help for a retreat. You don't have to do all 10 hours. In Vipassana, you have the choice to either meditate in your room or in the hall, but at least 3 one hour sits together with everyone. I've laid down or dosed off a good share of my day at a retreat because of the agonizing pain of brain surgery.

Thanks

It's just cleansing, don't think too much of it. Let it flow out without getting in the way, and in a few months next thing you know you'll look like you're having an exorcism. Haha kidding, or not. Have fun!

@AlwaysBeNice I just did some marijuana last night 'ceremonially' not just recreationally or getting by, it was beautifully intense. Setting an intend to look inside is totally different than watching tv shows or going on a hike. I'd say it was almost as intense as an ayahuasca ceremony..

The 5MeO experience

@WaveInTheOcean C'mon now, you know thats a whole episode of its own. ?

@Leo Gura Leo, do you still plan on doing some more 5meo in the future after such powerful trips in Hawaii? How about other psychedelics such as shrooms, al-lad, or lsd?

@cirkussmile All the cool kids. And the guy who supposedly was the first one to smoke bufo, Albert Most. @11:30 There will also be sessions taking place near the temple Teotihuacan. See you there! ??

This book came into my life just at the perfect moment. Couldn't have been any more or less relatable to the path that we are all on. Anybody have read it, if so, what are your favorite quotes or parts of story? If not, any question regarding this book I would love to answer. This book is a mixture of fact and fiction of the life of Dan Millman who was on the gymnast team at UC Berkeley. A typical college boy who has no issues with women, studies, or money is about to embark on a journey of a lifetime and will discover what it truly means to be alive. One night after woken up from a night terror Dan goes for a jog to the local fuel service station where he meets the service man, Socrates.

Does this happen to some of you guys when meditating? So this has been happening for the last 3 months. It feels like electric charging up and down my spine with my neck and face spasmed out. The face I make is ridiculous. It's this demonic face with the lips frowned and eyes fierce. It also shoots up what seems to be blocked energy up the back of my head and releasing out leaving me with this pleasant, grounded, and relaxed feeling. Feels like deep cleansing and healing.

@Malelekakis That’s if you assume you’re alive and living in the first place. If you’re into Truth, God/Self Realization, etc. than the you that you assume yourself to be has to drop. There is “something” more alive prior to this dream of a person.

Earlier today I had the deepest experience with 5meo (bufo alvarius) with a shaman here in Ecuador. I started to fall through the realms of conventional reality before I could finish inhaling the substance primarily because I did bufo 2 days before and was sensitive. Swirling and spiraling in absolute Infinity and it’s all me. There is no escape and no where to hide from God. It’s complete and perfect in the most absolute way. I am the only one stuck in my own ignorance not others. This seems to be a profound shock while at the peak of the ego death. The thought that others are ignorant is only your reflection and projection. You are absolutely alone. It’s all just God. There’s really nothing much more to say.

@Ether If you as a separate mind body individual that exists independent and apart from the world does not exist on it's own, now how can the world exist in itself. When you as an individual that gives the fundamental grounding and consistency of reality goes out the window what's left?

“The objectifying brain labels it’s own thought stream “mind” and then comes up with the idea that it doesn’t exist.”
