Butters

I haven't used any psychedelics yet but I watch many trip reports and Terrence McKenna on YouTube. On DMT and acid, people have deep, profound experiences where they meet entities who they RECOGNIZE from before they were born as humans. They describe realizing deep truths that end up changing their lives in some profound way. But...these are DUALISTIC experiences. If they were to learn about absolute truth, some deeply profound lessons that they intuitively understand to be true, wouldn't that be a PURELY NON-DUALISTIC experience? If not, why not? If non-duality is the absolute truth, and the absolute truth is already out there, what's the point of ME (a human sitting here) discovering it? I know someone's gonna argue that dualism is part of non-dualism but that causes more confusion. And lastly: if someone can learn deep truths about ancestors (for example), what makes you think your non-dualistic experience is more legit than theirs? Wouldn't both people argue their experience is the legit one? Please explain

Just to clarify, cause I think it's easy to misinterpret: I strongly feel this is a necessary phase I'm going through in the evolution of my psyche and perhaps others can relate. Not caring may seem like a mistake or diluted, but mostly it's not caring for petty shit. I'm 90% sure in the end I'll be able to contribute much more towards this world with a fresh outlook, for which this phase is necessary. What does confuse me is that people always say you need discipline and structure to reach success and happiness. I killed most of that that structure (for now) and I'm more inspired and happier than before. That's confusing...

I don't understand. I was really on purpose, doing the stuff I'm supposed to, inspiring people, working on myself and others. Full of energy and motivation, full of positivity. Then I got sick Wednesday, which I don't understand because I've been eating healthy for the last 2 or 3 weeks according to Leo's video. Now all of a sudden my progress is gone and I'm back to old habits like blaming other people and complaining and being frustrated. How does that work?

When I tried this I'd just 'sleepwalk' to it, turn it off then go back to sleep

Do remember that in some, if not most cases, not waking up in the morning is a larger motivational issue. You wouldn't oversleep for that epic holiday but you would for work. Once you get more on-track with your life purpose and comfortable being who you are, waking up shouldn't be an issue.

I've always been extremely introverted and lone-wolfing this life, consciously designing it ever since I discovered self-help. I'm still working on everything, but throughout this journey I've created: A job that works for me A social circle that works for me Hobbies and interests that work for me Business and growth in this area that works for me A mild spiritual interest that works for me It's all pretty selfish. Self-help has definitely pulled me out of a depression and created a pretty neat life that still in an upward spiral, but this bugs me. Has anyone been able to somehow break out of homeostasis and set aside the self agenda on a regular basis? I'm motivated to do so only from a higher consciousness, not AT ALL from lower consciousness.

What's up awesome people I'm looking for someone to connect with; share ideas, motivate each other, the works. I'm a 27 year old guy and I want to become a comedian. I've been living in Asia for the past 3 years and have set the goal to move to Australia next year, together with my girlfriend. I am growing my online business that will eventually give us enough passive income to spend our time more freely. Similar story? Let's get in touch! Only looking for highly motivated, on-track people ... I'm not your therapist.
