@sidaz10 Learn, understand, and be able to articulate (just for your own benefit / well being) precisely how psychedelics could / would / will / do help with trauma.

Expressive Journaling. Meditation.

After awakenings, or after using psychedelics? ‘Full enlightenment’, ‘self deception’, ‘survival’, ‘ego backlash’, ‘I fear’, ‘I fear’. Any of that actually resonate with you?

That’s all it takes. Thought attachment. ‘There’, ‘future’, ‘I am here’, ‘I could get there’. To realize the answer to the inquiry is to realize that you starts all the wars, not God. God is suppressed by the thought attachment & believing therein of identity. Without that there’d be no wars. But I digress, ‘future master of war’.

@Raptorsin7 What if there is, in any smallest or biggest picture, absolutely no point at all. But, thoughts are believed such that it seems like there is a point? That’d kinda be a ‘your’ point. And maybe a someone else has a ‘their’ point. And maybe these are different points, and maybe a they argues, and resents, and starts a war.

Your thread, God allowing war, etc.

@Raptorsin7 Are there really “assumptions” though? See any? Hear any? Or are thoughts arising, & being believed to define separate things?

@Raptorsin7 Is myself / my self assumption or actual?

Believing thoughts.

Is people known or assumed / learned / believed? If here is here so to speak, is there knowing of the ‘there’ (past) or an assumption? Is real known or also assumed? Is form = real assumed?

??

@Raptorsin7 Is enlightened people known or assumed?

@caelanb More in the sense meaning arises at my end and at your end so to speak, and what can be conveyed and understood in an actual conversation can’t always be communicated in text / type / words on this forum.

@Raptorsin7 Is it known or assumed that God knows and thus allows, war?

“Term”.

Lol. My parents asked about this from me mentioning it in a video. Had a great convo about “drugs” vs psychedelics, what suffering is, the bond we feel, “unanswerable questions”, etc. Kids asked too, talked about the importance of educating oneself, discernment, meditation, yada.

Love that! Couldn’t agree more. The key imo is realizing the projections, not recontextualizing to reinforce objectifying life’s teachings.

Yeah. Stayin in the woods for three months here really drives home the whole “man has no place to lay his head” factor. Got a plastic eagle hanging in the front to detour bats, a plastic hawk in the back that detours moles and groundhogs, lavandula to attract the butterflies, etc, etc. It really is wild. It’s a damage control game, never actually fitting in.

If you’re inquiry is to this sub section more than the forum, it’s because thought attachment is ignored at the advising end. As an example, there is no toxicity in perception, only in projection. So it’s a matter of thought attachment & purification (aka ‘shadow work’), and not of fragmenting reality & dividing the population in one’s own lens to accommodate one’s own toxicity. In projecting unchecked toxicity with authority & confidence a ‘group think’ / ‘echo chamber’ is created, which is what conditioning in large part, is. If you haven’t noticed that isn’t panning out in the world. In missing this, one inadvertently advises emotional suppression & conditioning, through advising the manipulation of other people to satisfy one’s own sexual urges and uphold one’s own false identity & self image. It is learning conditioning from the conditioned mind, manipulation from the manipulated mind, self referential narratives from the self referential mind, the blind leading the blind so to speak. I recall, when I first saw this section it turned my stomach. I wondered, how are people actually doing this and somehow digesting this? Why in the world wouldn’t someone take the time to ‘do the work’? But I am crazy, apparently.

@SQAAD Interpretation can be convincing, indeed.

I’d hang a birdhouse.

Studying different perspectives & info like you are is ideal imo. In regard more so to trips, I would be careful about info, expectations, anticipating anything specific, models, explanations, etc carrying over trips. I’d trip only for the experience of it. I wouldn’t think of tripping as having anything to do with anything you’ve heard at all. Then you’re naturally present, curious, interested, and can focus more on breathing from the stomach, relaxing, and any mood or mindsets like playfulness, fun, etc. Whatever you want. Get the info, but go about it your own unfettered way. Also, sorry if I missed it on the list… daily meditation is the most important factor. It’s the difference between the mind wandering into weird stuff and having a great time, swiftly, naturally letting go. The more that’s habitual, in the sense of breathing from the stomach, relaxing, etc, the better.

‘Mental activity’ would be a great example of the one thought at a time experienced. Notice there is no ‘mental activity’ anywhere to be seen, heard, touched, etc. It’s just one thought. Notice also, the self referenced, is also the one thought at a time. There is no ‘self’ anywhere to be seen, heard, touched, etc. That’s also just a thought. You can’t make yourself, or not make yourself do anything… you could maybe make Nahm do something, but not yourself, because you are yourself. There aren’t two of you. It may begin to sound like you would have to ‘realize no self’, or something similar. But, notice, all that’s being pointed out here is what’s already the actuality of your own direct experience. Thoughts are already arising. Some feel discordant and some feel aligned already. The only variable really is relaxing, letting thoughts come and go, and focusing on thoughts which are aligned. It’s not an intellectual undertaking, it’s simply noticing what is simple, actual, and true. Like when you were a kid. Focus isn’t an efforting. More significantly imo, the entirety of your experience is already a reflection of this. Of what thoughts you allow to come & go, and what thoughts you focus upon. This has been the case your entire life so to speak. All that’s being suggested here is casually, effortlessly, noticing this. There is no ‘separate self’, which is or could be ‘dependent on mental activity’. The separate self = mental activity, which is more literally, one thought at a time. I’d watch the videos from the first video, but this one, at about 12:40 has an illustrated explanation of this. It’s cheesy and not to be taken seriously and I hope you enjoy it.

@john1 Probably the most fundamental aspects are considering if you want to receive income for hours worked (hourly), based on assumed average of annual hours worked (salary), or residually (not from hours or salary). Then, whichever you desire, millions of people already have done and are experiencing, so research. All of the details in regard to the specifics of what you prefer will arise from you and be readily seen on your dreamboard, and all of those dots will automatically connect as you see the board each day (after a night’s sleep) and as you fill in any ‘gaps’ from researching whatever is needed in terms of knowledge and steps. In understanding & using the emotional scale, you’ll create emotion rather than being held mentally captive to doubt, anger, etc, and you’ll enjoy the ride in passion, eagerness, excitement & joy. I’d also take Leo’s LP course, as that’ll help you to dig deep within yourself and provide a ton of insight.

@Thorsten Fuzzi One thought at a time so to speak. And the only experience of thought, is of one thought at a time, now. So it’s actually way easier than what you’re probably hearing & believing. Some thoughts feel discordant, some aligned, and it’s a matter of understanding the emotions you are experiencing, and then of feeling the discord & alignment, & focusing accordingly. Inevitably… permanently, enlightened, brain, brain chemistry, and even I switch… are much more readily recognized as self referential thoughts, or, thought story about a separate self which could do, or be enlightened. Daily morning meditation, and creating a dreamboard makes this effortless.
