@Loving Radiance That all makes sense thank you. Seems like the main things to watch for are integration and mental stability. I guess I was curious if there were other health effects besides what it can do "mentally".

That escalated quickly.. ?

Ahaaha, ???. It's a potential for all of us!

I personally feel like the more "enlightened" you are the less fuck you give about how you come off to others. ?

Probably, and coz we can keep going ?... hard to measure this I suppose.

? Yeah for now there's not too much else... more people being aware of the situation is what can spur political actions. Recognition that "band-aid" solutions just aren't very smart in the long run. Depression/mental health problems can lead to lots of physical health problems, it would make much more sense to catch those before it manifests into the "physical". There could be more fast-tracked training programs to become a mental health professional as well. I know personally if this was an option I probably would've gone for it years ago. But the selection process (just like doctors) and lengthy schooling keeps lots of talented people out the door and costs high.

Yes I agree this is a thing.. it makes things like depression alot harder to heal/move on from. It is selfishness (and by extension the sense of seperation) that keeps us from automatically lifting each other up when we see someone down. It's also discriminatory to the poor as they cannot afford mental health treatment/therapy, often this is how generational trauma is perpetuated. People also lack the skill to effectively help another.

@Gesundheit2 Calling what is divinity “entertainment” is just not very fitting by definition . Also music can be divine as fuck.

I guess he could be more "asexual" leaning?

Yeah that's a good point. It's a bit hard on this forum (a public site) to control that, I think he did basically discourage people to come here if they don't want to go further than the buddhist/Advaita teachings. I don't know what else could be done to deter people who aren't ready to go all the way.

I think it all becomes a "play" after a certain point.

Fear of change, like around differing values. They might like the material/environment aspects but aren't open-minded about the more progressive values. Things like drug decriminalization, feminism, democracy, mental health treatment, sex-ed, sexual liberation, LGBTQ, anti-racism, child slavery (children seen as property), passing the family line, freedom of speech, freedom in general, individualism vs collectivism... tattoos and piercings?

You can radiate love. You can go deeper into awakening. You can be playful with life, and make your own rules...

I would suggest getting a therapist for the medium/long term, who can give you a trusting relationship if you can afford this. Find a female therapist even and this would simulate some aspects of dating and trust/being vulnerable around women. Having this stable relationship (even though it's a paid one) can help you spring forward and be more okay when faced with rejections/heart breaks. Basically I'm saying you should try to heal this through a trusting/nurturing relationship because real life dating is all over the fking place, and can easily make things worse. And it sounds like right now you need to fill yourself up first in your love tank.

Are you sure about having no urges? Maybe it's been repressed? I mean it's just how we're wired, it's so built in us. There's nothing wrong with that. That sounds like a fetish. Again nothing wrong with having a fetish.

Yes there's definitely more and it probably doesn't have an ending anyway rofl, but that sounds pretty epic. Keep going you're on the right track.

I mean I guess you can say that's a partial god realization. ?

Sounds like the layer that's just outside of infinity/god realization. I was around there on my first couple trips. Were you on a psychedelic?

Exactly, he just answered that it may actually end his life if he continued any longer. Why would you want him/anyone to push past the point of what they feel is their limit of safety? That's a pretty toxic way of pursuing spirituality.

Hey that's sort of where I'm at these days. I am pretty blissful when doing "nothing". And well most of the times when people are involved there tends to be high and a low so you're always on a rollercoaster with "socialization" and it's usually not high conscious..

Thanks we shall see . Oh wow that's been awhile. Haven't done it outside yet, that sounds like a good idea! Need a sitter for that probably or at least driver...

Oh heck yeah almost always! Some kind of "spiritual orgasm" whenever I play Chopin stuff for example.

Ohh yeah, could be that. On my first two trips, there was some lingering "trauma" stuff that got purged (that was also super insane how quickly because it was so sticky before I tried any psychedelics..), before entering full blown infinity/godhead. I think the come up have gotten more "comfortable" in a relatively short time period. Will try the empty stomach see what that does.

That hits home, seems like the more you awaken the more "what else is there to do" applies.
