Mohammad replied to SQAAD's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
So true. Most people are doing this most of the times that they are arguing about some shit. -
Mohammad replied to arlin's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@arlin Yes, stuff that decrease your attention can change your brain's anatomy, but practices that can increase your attention can also do that. So its not irreversible, just try to fix it. Totally agree. -
Mohammad replied to ivankiss's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Very interesting topic. Thanks for sharing@ivankiss It's kinda funny how most of the comments try to explain enlightenment in their own views. It reminded me of the Leo's "mankind is bullshitting animal" episode :)) Don't say enlightenment is this or that, just do your own inner work and develop your own consciousness, don't try to explain your own egoic mind and ideas to others. Many of the comments in the forum is just that, not very useful or insightful. -
Mohammad replied to How to be wise's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
I agree completely. Its funny for me to think that 10% of society, even most advanced societies, are yellow. The distribution of spiral stages is so skewed toward the lower stages. As someone who lives in the middle east, I think that the same goes for here. Many people consider themselves as orange, or even green, but they are blue people who have become accustomed to some orange/green ideas. The real percentage of orange/green people is much less than what some orange/green people might think! So maybe if you are someone with mostly orange/green mentality, it seems to you that there are lots of people like you in your middle eastern country(because they hate this or that corrupt politician), but they are not! Yes, orange is growing, but green is still so rare. And yellow, just let it go! so few. -
@Eph75 Accurate!

A spiral dynamics stage red leader lashing out. What kind of message does this send to other leaders and people in the world? this is supposed to be America, land of the free!

Good questions. I believe when you have these problems, you should try to fix them first, and then focus your energy on consciousness work. Some of them are more challenging, like chronic pain, but psychological issues can be fixed, and you should first try to overcome them. Leo old episodes address some of these issues pretty well, and I believe he has mentioned several times that you have to first improve and fix more basic issues and then concentrate on your higher purposes.

Mohammad replied to BipolarGrowth's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@BipolarGrowth Good questions. But I still can't think of suffering as an inherent feature of this "reality" that I am experiencing. Maybe suffering can be reduced, or even removed, and still one live in this same reality. But good questions. Food for thought! -
Mohammad replied to Loving Radiance's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Good question. No answer! -
@Tim R I would love that episode!

Mohammad replied to RedLine's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@RedLine I Agree. Even the neural process that underlie sensation of pain can easily shut down all other neural transmissions and make brain concentrate only on the pain. Body does everything to avoid pain. Both physical and psychological. And as you said, of course complete enlightenment doesn't sit well with survival! Pain is necessary for survival. And it's ok. We need it. It's not like that if we want to become more conscious, we should get rid of pain. Pain is there. But fear of pain is illusory. When pain comes, let it take the wheel. But when it's not there, it's not there! -
Mohammad replied to nistake's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@nistake I've experienced something similar. Then it changed. Then another plateau, then a backlash, and then another stage. As you said, you are not meditating in order to achieve something. This is meditation, it's observing, and in time, you might start to see the stuff behind the curtain. My suggestion is just keep going, keep meditating. And try to increase your knowledge about mediation, different forms of it, and then experiment with them and find your own unique path -
Mohammad replied to Breakingthewall's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Bulgarianspirit Good suggestion -
Mohammad replied to Breakingthewall's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Thank you so much for sharing this. I haven't smoked 5-Meo before, but I had some weird psychedelic experiences which later on turned out to be my most mystical experiences. I can just imagine how you felt. Continue your work my friend, Until you see the Love within the infinite void -
Mohammad replied to ardacigin's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Of course the lines between these epistemic stages are blurry. Kinda like spiral dynamics. I feel that I have all of these three attitudes at the same time! but feel mostly at tier 2. -
@ZenSwift Lots of similarities with my first mushroom trip on 1g Wish you good trips in the future!

Mohammad replied to Death_'s topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Maybe try to experiment with Huprezine-A. It can kinda induce lucid dreaming sometimes and for some people. A year ago I used this website and they had good materials: www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com -
I think God, in the form of every human mind, wants to realize itself through various ways. Infinite ways. Sometimes it realizes itself by an accident, sometimes by using psychedelics, sometimes meditation and chanting. My overall point is, I think it depends on the person and his/her journey through life. You just have be to be conscious enough so that when you experience your true being, you realize it. I believe a man that has walked 100 roads can judge those roads better than someone who has just walked 10, and then judges 100. That's why I always try to very clearly listen to what Leo says, and then use my own judgment, and refer to my own experiences. He has gone down many roads. Many of these gurus and enlightened people are good-hearted and try to help others, but I don't think that they have experimented with psychedelics.

Mohammad replied to Leo Gura's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Why humans don't feel the presence of love all the time? What separates the normal state of human mind from the infinite love that is present everywhere? -
Charles Darwin biography, called 'The Origin' by Irving Stone. I enjoyed reading it very much.
-
I am just waiting for it to come. Just making my immune system stronger, both mentally and physically. Listening to Leo helps from mental aspect

Mohammad replied to Cineva's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@Cineva I have had similar experiences. I had a great run for about 2 years, and then something started to fight back in me. I stopped meditating, smoking cigarettes and weed again, getting lost in my daily job, getting more angry... I believe it's sort of "Ego backlash". The way is to refocus. 1st, restart ur meditation habit. Exercise. Just do it, do what you know is the way for you. You are in a holy war. This doesn't happen to some people, but does for others. You just need to walk ur path, and whenever you go off road, just stay calm, look, be mindful, and get back. wish you luck. -
Mohammad replied to dude's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
@dude I had same experience as you. lasted for about 12 minutes, and then I just freaked out. took about 5-10 minutes for my body to recover. My fingers were contracted and I could barely move them. Was not very pleasant experience. And also I had no significant mental experience, just some sensations in my body. I'l try it again someday, just need to learn about this technique a little bit more. -

“Oh soul, you worry too much. You have seen your own strength. You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings. Of anything less, why do you worry? You are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul.” ― Jalaluddin Rumi -

You are breathing.you feel the hand.you see.you feel your tongue. This is the only real thing.then "I" comes in! trying to understand it,or in other words,turn all of this into symbols.beliefs.this,that. But maybe,this is our blind spot.we dont need to understand anythig.it is already here.all of this is you,we are not alien here.everything in the world,all of the feelings in the world,if become experienced,then they are us! we are our own home.we just need to realize this,and return home.
