*conscious stance

@Nahm In fact, I can sense ideology and over-identification around wit and humor in many instances. Which is no issue from a playful stance but can lead to suffering.

@Nahm Very, very accurate interpretation for consciousness. Except I personally see playfulness instead of wit or funniness. Not necessarily a source of humor or brilliant communicator/wordsmith, but does radiate a sense of 'play' (with words, ideas, concepts, abilities, anything).

@Keyhole I suppose I regard 'insanity' to be closer to meeting an extremely foreign and unknown object within your consciousness that happens to be a closer fit to the divine. Along with some other things. To me, what people term 'insanity' in our culture looks more like what people think is sanity (the finite, ego self) taken to a more extreme degree. Although the two can crisscross and look similar but are different at a fundamental level.

But talking about these Beings isn't really important. I see clinging in my energy. My own awakening and embodiment are what matters.

@SamueLSD Never taken a psychedelic except for a major awakening smoking weed for the first and last time. Things sort of built up from there.

@SamueLSD The Beings were full of Joy!

@SamueLSD OR I had a powerful influence on reality and I wasn't delusional. I'm still contemplating interpretations.

@SamueLSD The dream shifted and I saw higher beings for a time. But then I realized that it was 'all inside my head'. I can't really explain it except to say I was delusional

@Keyhole And it wasn't just one heartbreak. My heart broke over and over and over as reality seeped in for months.

@Keyhole I think as well that exploring other perspectives on 'insanity' can assist those who are going through spiritual awakenings. I know it was very hard on me in the beginning and I didn't understand what was going on. When I came back to 'reality' my heart broke that all that embodiment was 'inside my head'.

@Red-White-Light Even though the other IS divine. I was in denial that I was divine. And it showed up in me seeing embodiment where there was none.

@Red-White-Light There were some negative moments, but most of my psychosis was 'my' divinity projected outward onto 'other'. It helped me to learn. Its like something knew that that was what I needed to awaken to my being God.

My awakenings almost always coincide with psychotic episodes/insanity (without psychedelics). It's stopped impacting me as there is no one there to be as impacted anymore so it's less severe. Plus they tend to be accompanied with happy chemicals. I get high off of being insane.

@remember I thought you meant something else by 'fast food'. My mistake. If I see bullying, I jump quickly because I used to be bullied pretty badly.

@remember Why treat someone that way?

I find Maynard (who has done a lot of spiritual work on himself, and no doubt psychedelics) is an example of someone who has embodied both aspects of God and of Love. And he is INTJ, with not much persona or Fe. It is possible. Making people feel loved with the warm fuzzies is not shallow, ego serving or surface-level necessarily.

@remember Your masculine approach is cool but right now it's not going to get through to anyone when they feel devalued and unsafe. The feminine approach exists for a reason as well. The divine masculine naturally embodies the aspect of GOD. The divine feminine the aspect of (feminine) LOVE and HEART. Both need to be honored.

@Martin123 I admire your heart. You have a beautiful heart. I remember you helping me when I was really down and out a few years ago.

Angels hold you in the highest regard (because you are God). That's bound to have an impact.

I've noticed a pattern where at some point in your purification journey people begin to interpret you as entitled and arrogant. That could be due to many reasons. It may be the case here. Something is going on as a collective in this community. I don't think it's negative.

I keep having visions and premonitions about Leo and this community. So I don't think he is entirely full of it.

@Leo Gura How is Ralston not fully awake? And what do you mean you can see through people?

You may need to go through a phase where you are all the things you are not supposed to be (especially within the spiritual community). Sometimes on the enlightenment path being openminded IS being willingly closed-minded and ignorant and arrogant. Those qualities will lessen though as they are integrated, they will lose their attraction power. Unconditional love sets up the terrain for integration and self-expression.

You gain sensitivity on the path. All of this is answered further along the path. I wouldn't try to close my mind to gain false confidence. Although practicing 'assertiveness' a masculine trait can be helpful in integrating the masculine. Just always check yourself and be willing to shift positions and look 'bad' if need be lest your progress takes a hit.
