I like the Ashtavakra Gita. It’s as concise and straightforward as they get. Ramana Maharshi held it in high esteem. Maybe Ellam Ondre, too, which means All Is One. Who am I? by Ramana is also great.

Self-survival = struggle

Well, The Venus Project is taking action, planning to create a center for resource management. Their plan is to eventually create a city based on a resource-based economy and its values, with technology and architectural designs by Jacque Fresco — the creator of the RB economy. Pretty interesting and intelligent thinking behind it.

How do you research and create your videos? What’s the process you follow throughout the week?

Are you conscious of the nature of consciousness? I think he means what we might call awareness.

Contemplation into emotions and hatha yoga. Any form of exercise will help. Maybe start with less intense activities like hatha yoga or tai chi. They will help you develop body awareness. Peter Ralston has an online tai chi class—he’s a master martial artist. Yoga has helped me solve similar problems. Usually your body starts to hurt due to lack of movement (exercise) and bad posture in the first place. If you’ve been sedentary for months or even years, maybe it’s time to change that. Feel the body. A lot of times exercise, good nutrition, sleep, meditation, and breathwork solve the problem. Maybe try the Wim Hof method or take ice baths/cold showers.

This is what I would recommend. I also have an unhealthy sleep pattern, usually going to sleep at 3:00AM and waking up at 01:00PM. Also try to experiment with L-Theanine, CBD oil, and melatonin. What causes your insomnia? I can see how it relates to my lifestyle: having dinner late at night, drinking coffee or tea at 7:00PM, using electronics in my bedroom, lack of exercise... Maybe a glass of red wine helps one in a while but it’s better to stick to a fixed sleep schedule. Going to sleep at 12:00 and waking up at 8:00AM seems like a god one. Wake up at 8:00 and exhaust yourself with physical activity throughout the day. Limit naps to 25min at midday or in the afternoon. And all that.

Is that possible? Survival still demands identifying with something... Maybe “to study the self is to forget the self“?

Biden should had taken modafinil or something. Trump should just learn to listen a little bit.

“Be happy, even if you don’t like it” - Peter Ralston. What’s the alternative? Either you create passion for what you do and master it or you spend your days miserable. Otherwise, change your circumstances. Since you want the money, you want to do the job! This is easily taken for granted. When you want to reach a goal and the process involves taking a step you don’t like, you still want to do it — since you have to do it in order to reach your goal. Consider, too: Is there anyone doing the same job but with a positive attitude? Try to adopt that mindset. You are responsible for creating passion.

@Matt23 Hi, where did you find that book list recommendation? Could you share it? I’ve never seen Peter recommending books. Thanks

Microdose LSD or psylocibin and contemplate depression. Daily exercise! Most people take this for granted. Research nutrition, eat a plant based, whole-food diet with lots of vegetables. Vitamin deficiencies, especially B12 and D (sunshine!), might be causing your depression. CBD, L-Theanine (or green tea), Qualia Mind, Omega-3 fats supplements. The UltraMind Solution, to see to what degree you have a “broken brain” and how to heal it. Also the immune system recovery plan. Create a positive future for yourself. I don’t think you will be able to intellectualize your way out of depression. So reading about it too much won’t be helpful. Action is key here.

The blank space represents God. Now we’re talking.

You have to “put it to the test.” Dr. Michael Greger is an internet personality. He — or rather, science — advocates for a whole foods, plant-based diet. This is the healthiest diet. Go to NutritionFacts.org. Think of diet as a long-term investment. Really, if you think about it, what’s the alternative to eating healthy? Don’t equate healthy eating with expensive. Low energy can be caused by many other factors. Do your research on sleep, diet, exercise, etc. there are a lot of free materials out there.

The essence of creativity is not-knowing. Contemplate something until you achieve that state. From there creativity becomes a more natural process.

You can do both, no contradiction. You can be an enlightened pianist or surgeon and; Enlightenment isn’t that; it’s about realizing (becoming conscious of) your true nature or the absolute nature of reality. The Truth is already the truth no matter what you do or don’t do. How could anything you do change or influence the Truth? Make a distinction between the relative and the absolute.

Really? From the research I’ve done and from people’s testimonials, I imagined it was relatively safe to consume. Where did you find that info?

I’d say Ramana Maharshi. Peter Ralston also seems deeply conscious but who knows? He doesn’t have a fancy Indian name though. Jesus or Buddha, too. Gautama as a legend symbolizes complete enlightenment. Maybe such individual existed. You can’t get more enlightened than completely enlightened.

But this is not consciousness, this is psychic or paranormal or an altered state. Infinite or absolute, Whom would you communicate with? What need would there be to communicate, given that communication requires relationship and subject and another? Maybe you wouldn’t be conscious of what “other” is. I don’t recall Jesus or Buddha “communicating” with others the way you define it, except for the normal talking. A body making sound, another body hearing.
