@Leo Gura Thanks for your answer! I get it now)

@Joseph Maynor I do my best with meditation and yoga. But I always felt like radical states of consciousness are just around the corner. I did manage to get into them for a few milliseconds each time, but as soon as I entered them I get kicked out of them. Even if they lasted for less then a second, it was so powerful I never forget them.

@Outer @Charlotte @RabbitHole I live in Moldova. [message deleted]

@AdamDiC I don't have the gear/place to grow them... Ill try to leave this shithole country, but I don't want to slow down my self-growth.

@Parki It does look like you have a good chunk of green)

@Leo Gura I passed so many different tests over the years, and I always got introvert. Then how can I sit for 8-12 hours (not kidding) with my friend and talk almost non-stop?! If you'll put me in a room full of average humans, I'll try to exit it if possible and go find something more enjoyable/productive to do. (So called psychologists will label me an introvert) If you'll put me in a room full of stage yellow/turquoise humans, I'll try to make as many friends as possible. (So called psychologists will label me an extrovert)

I started practicing Kriya yoga, but I don't understand what chakras are all about. Should I blindly belief that they exist or are there any books, articles or whatever which will provide me with experiential explanation, something I can experience and confirm for myself and not just imagine their existence? QUESTION TO LEO: Does the "Kundalini..." book from your book-list provide some explanations on chakras? (I practice from the short book on kriya yoga, the big one won't ship to my country)

@okulele Not all torquise like collaboration, I saw many people become enlightened to the point where they literally don't give a fuck about us the peasants/ or just choose to ignore and do nothing about us. Theres a thread in this forum with torquise humans, search their communities if you're interested.

@Outer It's not like there's something wrong about these labels, just they way most people misuse them.

@Samra

@Consept Wach Leo's video about stage yellow and then read about the arhitect personality. They are pretty much the same thing! Stage yellow humans make the top 1% of the human society right now. Arhitect humans also make the top 1% of the human society right now.

@Parki https://www.16personalities.com/ Take the test. Almost all yellow humans will get a form of "Architect".

@Samra Leo has great book recomandations on his booklist, it's really worth i!

@njuufa I'm happy it worked for you! It's very important to follow the istructions exactly. Well, then how did hundreds of humans expereinced ego-death without calling an ambulance? Also there are different "depths" of ego-death, it might be mild or strong, you might resist it or not.

DISCLAIMER: If misused, the following technique can make you faint/black-out! 1. Sit with your back straight, somewhere where you won't be disturbed. (it won't work if you lay down) 2. Try to relax your body+mind and just breath normally for 3-6 min. 3. Then proceed doing 9 of "Fast&Slow" breath cycles: ONE Fast&Slow breath cycle means: -Inhale FAST (less than 2 sec.) thru your belly and then thru chest, filling 80-90% of your lung capacity. -Exhale SLOW (more than 6 sec.) depleting your lungs of all air. 4. After completing 9 of "Fast&Slow" breath cycles, Inhale FAST (that'll be your 10th inhalation, this time inhale in about 4 sec) thru your belly and then thru chest, filling 100% of your lung capacity. 5. -HOLD THE BREATH, after about 5-10 seconds you'll feel "darkness" wash over you. ( read my trip report below ) -When the "darkness" washes over you, just experience and be it. -DO NOT stay for more then a few seconds in "darkness", or you will faint/damage some shit in your body. 6. Exhale. Note: It's to be expected that you'll experience strong EGO BACKLASH. MY TRIP/S REPORT: In my case, "darkness" washes over me starting from chest to my head, 4-7 seconds after holding the breath. All my physical senses literally fade away. Like my body stops existing. All thoughts and mind chatter disappear. I lose sense of space and time. However, the crazy thing is that "me the observer" literally stops existing to the point where there's no more earth! There is still existence, but it's radically different from what I experience during intense meditation or infinity-forbid my normal dual state of being. After about some seconds after delving into "darkness" and exhaling, this "I" kicks back in, I start to experience an incredibly strong ego backlash. As if by no will I grab the phone, move my hands, stand, music I like mentally starts rolling out. The ego goes fucking insane! I came up with this technique completely spontaneously, like out of nothing I just sat down and did it... Also it maybe works best with those who have low-blood pressure or a mild form postural hypotension. Please share below your results + your medical condition (maybe there is a correlation between the two).

@Nadosa Before getting at peace with your Ego you need to be emotionally stable to proceed to more powerful ways (psychedelics, kriya yoga, self-iquiry, purge-meditation (sitting without moving a finger for hours...)). I understand that there are other things which bother you, but you have to start with the basics/start small and grow gradually.

Are you caught up in mind loops? If yes, just do concentration meditation and with enough practice the mind's shit won't affect you as much.

@Pouya I was in a similar situation as you, but I was also VERY suicidal for 5 years (if I had a reliable method at hand I 100% wouldn't be alive right now). Just some basic meditation will be great for you! If you have a bad meditation practice, then read the book "A Million Thoughts" by Om Swami. Buying it will actually motivate you to read it (personal experience, I always pirated stuff in the past). Don't worry about exams))) I passed the 4 final high school exams just 1,5 month ago, without opening a book the whole year))) Also, while Leo's vids are nice, reading books is way better. I really recommend Leo's book-list, it's really good!

@Leo Gura @astrokeen To be honest I can feel as though these chakras "open up" after doing Kriya Bow. It's like they form a river in my body and after doing the Bow the river becomes full with positive energy. I was just unsure about their nature. Are they "colorful balls" or not.

@AlwaysBeNice I heard the effect is called "chest-packing" among divers. Nice article btw)

@Feel Good In non-duality you realize that you are ONE with reality. In enlightenment you realize that reality doesn't exist/is an illusion.

@SoonHei The darkness will start quickly disappearing as soon as you start exhaling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ujjayi_breath here is the type of breathing I described, but remember to do it under 2 seconds.

@Geromekevin @Geromekevin @Geromekevin Imagery??? There a LOT of humans in those images, which means a lot of different mixtures. Red is about power, and those kids don't seem like they strive for power over others. Beware that spiral dynamics won't apply to everything.

@Arman Also how do all of the most respected stage turquoise gurus manage to describe their spiritual trips?

@SoonHei Did you inhale thru your belly and then thru chest? It's very important to inhale like that under 2 seconds, while still managing to fill your lungs to 90%. And exhaling 6 seconds+. Start with small trips (2-4 seconds) after darkness washes over and then you can increase the time at your own risk Also beware that people with high-blood pressure and just generally old people won't experience the same effects as the ones with low blood pressure.
