First review I checked out - not so shit-hot... http://dancemusicnw.com/katy-limitless-life-supplement-review/

That's interesting. I wonder if they're onto something. At least they tell you what the general ingredients are, so we can research them & their effects. It would be nice to see a real (REVIEWS) section, not just a few screenies of people's raving comments. I'm sure there are reviews available elsewhere online mind you.

I feel that I know that I Am, at this point. I can Be IT 'consciously' even, as IT is, empty and aware, for a fleeting moment, here and there. Permanently removing the many many, built up layers of what I am NOT however, appears to be a whole other thing. A much bigger beast.

In my experience you don't even have to dose that high. One legit tab of MDMA was a glorius joyride of vibrating, high frequency love and joy and sensory enhancement for me, and I'm experienced with mushrooms and LSD, extensively. Mind you, if I'd had another tab I would've scarfed it back four hours into the trip in order to extend it bit. Some nice stuff that MDMA.

@LRyan I can relate. It's ok, suck it all in, it takes a while to sort through and assimilate all this new stuff. You'll hit a point where you have grasped enough for that time period, and it'll seem like one week you couldn't wait to get more books to add to the months of voracious reading, and the next week, you'll just feel that you've got enough to go on for a while and all that you're learning needs to begin to be applied in the most obvious, suitable manner for you. Maybe you take on mindfulness practices, maybe begin to experiment with meditation, concentration and contemplation, as described all over, and here as well. It can all run in cycles too it seems. I can tell you that all the teachers you mention above that you have resonated with are amazingly effective, top drawer communicators of Truth, none of them will steer you wrong an inch, enjoy them all!

Alan just tells it! Thanks.

Oh, it's a big PDF chock full of goodies, cool to have it downloaded on my tablet here, thanks.

Bookmarked for later, thanks.

I guess having your brains extruded through your nose by a rolling bus tire would be the quick way to enlightenment. Oh sorry, were you having breakfast? Porridge? Oh oh oh... 'kay ..sorry...

Wondering what fears? Also wondering what the fear is of...the ride itself or not coming back? Awesome post.

In my opinion everything has meaning. Every second of experience has profound meaning. Why? Because you are here to experience life. If you are experiencing life, then you are present and aware. If you are present and aware, it is for a reason. No fluke. You are life itself, experiencing itself, awakening to itself to whatever extent, and that is where the meaning lies. It means that life is meant to be for the pure simplicity of being, as opposed to not being. Good life, bad life, asleep life, awakening life, indifferent life, the definitions and distictions don't hold the meaning, or reason for existence, the existence of life itself holds all the base meaning. Otherwise, in my understanding we just wouldn't 'be' at all. A little simplistic and blankety, I know, but ...how can there be no meaning to the existence of nature? The existence itself is the meaning.

If you listen to enough Gary Weber you'll hear him talk about it being a sweet place that somehow always gets sweeter and sweeter. Yes!!

Lol, I'm still a poster-boy for neurotic. Yeah, this forum and Leo Gura's content is just right when it finds you.

A troubled woman at satsang realized something about her true nature while engaging with Mooji. When he asked her if that lovely, calm, peaceful feeling had come from somewhere and she said 'no', he asked, 'Then how can it go anywhere?' I'll never forget it.

@nightrider1435 it can be helpful to purposely become interested in that anger arising as it occurs. Not to wallow in the negative emotion and let it grow, but to quickly have that mindfulness kick in. Forget getting down on yourself at all for getting angry, just notice right quick that you're getting pretty worked up pretty fast, woah, how did that happen.. one second I was heading to the kitchen for cheescake, all happy and delighted, then noticed that I was using my ex's favourite dessert plate, that lying, cheating, low-life so and so!! Quick, quick, mindfulness kicks in and says "Wow, I know I'm over that beetch, but I guess I never forgave her for her crap. Maybe that's something to meditate on or contemplate, I don't need that old crap popping up to mess up cheesecake time anymore." You're obviously becoming mindful, keep rocking it. What at first seemed like an effort will become second nature in no time, and honestly, before you realize what's happening, it's hard to get all angry and shitty without noting it each time, often before you can finish the negative sentence in your mind even. And if it's big bad anger or frustration and resentment that's taken hold regardless of you 'knowing better', you are more and more adept each time, at just letting your pure awareness settle back in just behind the mess a little bit to be the silent witness, observing all this drama as it unfolds; "What a show, somebody's sure tweakey ta-DAY!" Sure, you may not have control over your thoughts, but with a little spiritually-oriented mindfulness, your next thought, more and more often is "Holy crap, I caught it again as it was arising, and it seems easier and easier to just recognize, unravel and let go of the junk before it has a chance to take hold!" Feel it, recognize it, remember that love and peace are what you are made of and made from, and as you naturally give your body-mind a chance to sink into the heart of your pure essence, you'll notice you need to un-contract your body & mid-section to just let it come up & friggin' GO! It's new and it can be a little scary as big ol' love and peace and calm seem to be what's naturally just there, and wants to be a little volcano-like when you pop the cap a bit. Keep up with that mindfulness bud, and it becomes a habit you cannot break.. - you're on your way!

Ok, I'm going back in, got kleenex...

Right on. I think my favourite moments are when you can hear his students laugh and giggle at his sweet, witty Truths when listening to his lectures. His cadence alone is mesmerizing. I can't imagine what it would have been like to be in the same room with that mystical man. Or hanging out with Alan Watts for the weekend back then. Imagine his influence eh?

Damn you Dodoster, I was in tears just from his voice a few minutes in, had to turn it off at 44:00 to take a break & marinate. Funny how the folks who tune into this one through here and have it pour into their heart like that, needed it just that much at just this time. I was already a fan but this one's just... Universal... Mooji must be one of the most beautifully realized beings around.. I'm floored. Thanks my friend, I really must have needed that, whffffffffphewww. *Sniffle sniffle*

Molly and I, Molly and I What a spiritual duo we are But when she goes away For a week and a day Am I a person, a thing, or a star?

How ultimately fascinating once you grasp it though, eh? I'll spend the rest of my life trying to taste that knowledge as experience. Really getting it and working with it is a super-power that I shall possess, bwa ha ha haaaa... (oops) Seriously though, I love the challenge of 'reality'-busting and am intrigued beyond measure. Understanding Leo Gura's video on Naive Realism was an 'aha' moment for me that tied in two or three other non-dual Truths that were clashing. Freakin' awesome. Like, the literal 'awesome', holee!

I've enjoyed a lucid dream here and there. The last one was within a year ago. When I became lucid ("Holy crap, I'm dreaming this!") I dipped my toe into the water and as I had mentioned in another post; it was the coldest, wettest water I had ever felt. Completely convincing and real. So, regarding lucid dreaming and spirituality - if you just transfer that level of realism of experience back one step, to 'waking' consciousness, the implications are as fascinating as they are scary. The good kind of scary.

Cool. That's gotta be Alan Watts at the beginning there.. I could listen to him all day. Check out his book 'The Book on the Taboo of Knowing Who You Are'. It'll kill you.

Very strange indeed. So new. Funny to close your eyes and into the void it goes, until you walk forward with hands outstretched 'til your fingers touch the wall. Boom it's back! Very strange to know that if I walk down the road, with music blaring in my earbuds, there's literally nothing behind me 'til I turn around. What!? The guy ahead of me has nothing behind him until he turns around, then he sees a street and me. The guy behind me has no street behind him, but he has the street in front of him that's behind me that I don't have. And it doesn't get any weirder when your buddy or your kid leaves the room, nope, not weird at all...

Personally, I tend to find the labels and categories within the realm of enlightenment and awakening to be an unnecessary hindrance. I'm trying to come to grips with what I am and am not, and I find a whack of levels, or 'locations' or 'stages' and a bunch of words to define and differentiate and translate, and understand, then apply practically without getting sidetracked and bogged down in 'teachings' and 'methods'. Phooey Louie, I just want to be on the path towards understanding and then living from Truth. There's gotta be a hundred and eleven ways to journey spiritually, I don't think it's necessary to bog down under an overly complicated learning curve of terms and translations. It's different if my natural interest is sparked by finding out about Vedanta or the Tao, and I'm drawn in and captivated by the Truths within the teachings, but I honestly don't believe there needs to be a specific 'course of action', in order ro awaken or be nearer and nearer to 'enlightenment. Self inquiry, meditation, concentration, contemplation.. sure, make it your toolbox, but I get turned off by acheivements and levels of wakefulness, and the labels and names for our 'level of spirituality'. My ego does I mean..

It is very very strange, the whole naive realism paradigm! Again, I grasp it to the nth degree intellectually, but need to consistently do the work in order to begin realizing it all empirically for my spiritually and reality-curious 'self'. It's a big flip!
