How to be wise

@Leo Gura it was the most important one...

@Leo Gura Is the psychedelic from one of the following (from an early post in your blog): 5-MeO-DMT Mushrooms LSD N,N-DMT MDMA Mescaline HCL 4-ACO-DMT DPT 2C-B 2C-E 4-HO-DPT 4-ACO-DPT AL-LAD ETH-LAD 4-HO-MiPT 5-MeO-MiPT 4-HO-DMT (Psilocin) 4-HO-MET Bufotinine (5-HO-DMT) Salvia DXM, MXE Ketamine Nitrous Oxide Amanita Muscaria Datura Iboga

@Leo Gura Can you please tell us how to access infinite intelligence. If you don’t have time for a video, can you just link me up to a website/book/video which explains how to do it.

@Leo Gura What about things like channeling and the akashic records? Are they useful as well?

@Leo Gura Which psychedelics are the best for this creative endeavour?

@Leo Gura I mean coming up with ‘brilliant’ ideas or insights to strengthen my life purpose.

@Cody_Atzori Yes.

@sidaz10 well, on paper or word file. If you leave it in your mind, it will trick you. The mind is very unstable. It will always change its story. Which is why you must stabilise it. The paper won’t change what you wrote!

Probably the strongest technique I have ever encountered. The work of Byron Katie is a self inquiry process like no other. It is designed to turn your life of suffering to a life in paradise. Literally. The rough process of ‘The work of Byron Katie’ is: questioning all your stressful beliefs until you have none. Now, you might think that this will take forever, as you have lots of beliefs. But actually, it’s very possible that you reach the end of the work within a year or less. Think about it: if you start ‘The work of Byron Katie’ today, then by this time next year you will be living in paradise. How? Well, simply put it, the only reason you think that this life, this world, is not the best it could be for you is because of beliefs that you have. Once those beliefs are dispelled, your life will literally be ‘perfect’. What more could you want? And the best part about this technique is that you can start to see the results today. If you do ‘The work’ for just 30 mins, already you will see that your body feels a lot lighter and far more joyful. Everyday you do ‘The work’, you will see releases on your body due to negative beliefs. And at the end, you will be a living joy. Why meditate for four years and see only average results, when you can reach the pinnacle of spirituality in just one year. If you want to start doing the work, the book ‘Loving What Is’ will contain all the information you need to get started. This technique is like no other that you’ll encounter.

Many people here think that it’s not possible to attain emotional mastery without a decade of meditation. Well, I’m a living proof against that. I started spiritual work less than two years ago, and after doing a lot of inquiry, I’m very close to emotional mastery. These days, I struggle to find anything that can trigger me in any minor way. I’m living in a constant uninterrupted state of bliss, and my mind is usually just blank. I’m not identified with anything really. Even the question who am I doesn’t make that much sense to me, because it assumes that you exist. Anyway, I just wanted to provide some encouragement to my fellow meditators. You can reach there a lot sooner that you think. Focus on purging your shadow issues and ego more than just trying to ‘get an awakening.’ That’s one thing that I’ve never aimed for. Yet as I purged my shadow and ego, I found that awakenings just came to me suddenly. For example, the day when I disidentified from this body, was when I was going to bed at night, and as I pulled my duvet, out of nowhere my identification to the body just disappeared. Other awakenings also happened at random times e.g. emptiness, love, infinity, god, no time, no space, no world, infinite intelligence and so forth. But I never aimed to get any of them. I just focused on purging my ego. Another thing I recommend is to meditate several times a day. For the past year, I did inquiry 40 mins per session, and I did three sessions a day. Basically, morning, afternoon and night time. That way, inquiry was on my mind basically 24/7. I was living it. Good luck! If I did it, then definitely you can too!

@Truth Addict Of course I test my progress with the real world. I live with my mom. And as Byron Katie likes to say: “Your mother will show you everything you need for self-realisation.” Meaning, any negative story that you're still running in your mind, your mother will show it to you (i.e. trigger you), and you can run that story through the four questions, and then you come back to your mother for the next piece. She won’t stop until you have no negative stories running in your mind (i.e. emotional mastery). And the same goes with your spouse and children. Though you only need one of them.

@Joseph Maynor I mean being non reactive internally. As in, not experiencing even the mildest forms of a negative emotion. @Jkris Technically I am a student of a university. I just don’t go there for any of the lessons. I only go there on August when the exams come. So when I finish I will get a degree. Plus, jobs are everywhere, if you don’t have an idea of how it should look like.

@OctagonOctopus definitely. If there’s anything in the whole of life that so much as irritates you, you haven’t achieved mastery. Consider this possiblity: you can be experiencing severe pain or hunger, and still be enjoying it. That’s what I found in myself more and more lately. Suffering and physical pain are independent.

@Truth Addict I don’t need to put my mastery to the test. I allow life to do that. Life will bring me all the trouble. And so far, it hasn’t brought much. Remember, I’m not 100% done yet. But I’m very close to there. I would say a few months more until I’m completely done. The way I measure my emotional mastery is through (1) how blissful I’m feeling. Usually the more emotional work I do, the more intense this bliss gets. And (2) how often I get triggered internally with any negative emotions. That rarely happens nowadays.

@Esoteric Loving What Is.

There are four questions in the work. Just answer them. That’s it.

19. I’m a college student, but I don’t actually go there. I spend my time at home doing inquiry.

@electroBeam The Work of Byron Katie.

I understand what you mean. The past is just our story there’s nothing true about it. With that said, what happened this week? Malfunction?

We seem to have missed this week’s video, am I wrong?

Is there some way I can directly verify this? Is there an enlightenment experience where you become conscious of reincarnation? Otherwise, surely this is just another belief.

@Inliytened1 Yes. I have had an experience of it. I’m semi-aware of it even now.

Over the past few months that I was doing The Work of Byron Katie, I noticed that sometimes I felt like meditating on the question, and other times to actually do self inquiry and answer the questions. So for example, after three months of doing self inquiry, I would be pulled towards not answering the question, but to just ‘sit in’ the question. And after two months, I would be pushed back towards answering the questions. Does this happen to you guys? Is this known? Or is it only unique to me?

@tsuki I’m more interested in the oscillation. I’ve never heard anybody else mentioning this.
