@Markus @Malelekakis @Nahm Did you guys read the 4 books? Seems pretty enlightened to me... I didnt get any heartless vibes... seems like he wanted to tell the truth as best he could without sugar coating it. He does seem to care for his audience

Try not to get too wrapped up in all the thoughts and thought stories... I mean as much as you can. Go play with a puppy, throw a ball back and forth with a child, enjoy music, ride a bike, whatever you can to connect with the beauty of being without thinking. Killing yourself is twisting things up. Theres a lot of good you can do for yourself and others... not that you need to help anyone but it can be nice. Hope you feel better soon!

There seems to be two kind of searchers, those who seek to make their ego something other than it is: ie. holy, happy, unselfish (as though you could make a fish an unfish) And those who understand that all such attempts are just gesticulation and play acting, that there is only one thing that can be done, which is to disidentify themselves with the ego, by realizing its unreality, and by becoming aware of their eternal identity with pure being. -Wei Wu Wei

One time a guy told me that life is full of processes that start and end and that a guru can make a disease disappear by withdrawing the accumulation or lack there of, of energy in a chakra or energy center... But that some gurus go ahead and let their death coincide with the end of a larger process here on earth, and keep on doing their work or purposes in other dimensions or planes of existence. sounded good to me when I heard it.

@onacloudynight Im not into the japa yoga... I already overthink too much, I end up just repeating a mantra mechanically and getting obsessive about it. But I like saying some of mantras every once in a while... their meanings are really beautiful. Like sat nam, they use it alot on kundalini yoga... "truth is my identity" pretty bad ass. Anyone try the Yoni mudra?? I saw some crazy lightning bolts and I think I was getting closer to seeing the spheres and the star of kutasha!!

@MarkusSweden Hey man. Violence is not the path... it will just keep perpetuating violence and causing much anguish. @Shaggy Life/Death is a duality that collapses when you realize Allah/Absolute Infinity. You are already dead now, or you can say there is only everlasting life. We live in "hell" or "punishment" when we live from our egos and get rewarded when we surrender them and realize God. At least thats how I understand it

Anyone get to lesson 15? Hearing any sounds in the chakras??

@Stefano Provenzi Hey! I think when Leo talks about no purpose and no intrinsic meaning he is talking from another perspective where there isnt even an individual, nor even an existence. Its the perpsective that says there is no good or bad, nothing matters, everything is perfect, be totally free. But yea from another perspective there are these laws of life, light, evolution, principles, ways of being intelligently, following your inner muse etc. which are talked about alot too. I think its cause its good to follow your higher calling without any moralization, obligation, reasons and justifications for it... cause all those are egoic tendencies. So yea... I think thats why you gotta talk about the inherent meaningless of existence.... just gotta watch out for the zen devilry and then go ahead and construct a positive meaning anyway But not out of obligation.

Do you guys get like "light circles" moving upwards? I start seeing that with my eyes closed when focusing upwards.

@electroBeam Hey! Maybe try it for 3 months before quitting? Being very still, having the ego dissolve and seeing the practice just happen by itself seem like great results to me.

This is messed up

@Charlotte One trip I got lost in the laberynth of my mind. Just negative thought loops reinforcing each other faster and faster and it seems like it will never end. You feel insane for good. Another trip I felt my body disintegrated like infinity was tearing me up into all directions and all I could think was "Shit, I messed up. Shouldnt have done this. I am gone for good now." Time gets distorted so much that it feels like your stuck somewhere forever sometimes. But Ive always felt good on the other side. A good shaman helps.

Hey guys. I am so happy. Wish I could share this with you... It was so nice. I let go of my fears. Theres a faith thats snowballing as time goes by. A love that heals all the little nook and crannies of my fractured self. I can choose... to relax, to be calm, to be centered, to be conscious. Not in a controlling way. Its like this perfect balance and harmony between choosing and surrendering. Steering the ship without fighting. Its so peaceful! Sometimes things can get so complicated. Then other times its all just so simple. Right now it seems simple. Thanks guys.

@Yavor Kirov Sure. I was anxious about taking the medicine, like I usually am before tripping. But at one point I decided not to be. It was weird. Like I just dropped it. I knew this was good for me and thought about my past experiences and just realized, oh hey, I can be calm. It came on fast, I was really connected to the beauty of being. I felt my body, my sights and sounds and smells become really elevated. I connected with all the beautiful times Ive had in my life, running around as a kid chasing dragon flies, the most loving moments in past relationships, and also with how loving my coworkers, roomates, and friends are... and how awesome it is to see couples that love each other. I cried really deeply... it wasnt frantic wailing... more like healing gentle tears and sobs as my body opened up, especially my heart. At one point at a really intense point I realized why people are afraid of taking it... its like you travel really deeply into the cosmos and it can be scary. My mind got really quiet at the end. I could just stop giving energy to my train of thoughts and they would die down. i felt like I have to sing more... and see my friends more... and make my life simpler... keeping stuff in order... im a bit of a mess sometimes. It was all so amazing! The amount of happiness and love you feel is infinite... yet its so peaceful and calming too.

If I remember correctly Eckhart tolle wrote in one of his books how he could see so much life and brightness coming out of his eyes... really special dude.

That moment after finishing the videos and you say "I have seen the Truth, and the Truth has set me free" soooooo good.

@electroBeam Maybe when you look away at an object and look back at it, it doesnt collapse the same way. Maybe it collapses a diferent way but that collapse also changes your memory of it to keep the illusion of consistency. Just speculating but its possible.

I want the enlightenment! Nice posts

Probabilly watching Leo's vids will be one of the last addictions to be purified

we lot love this shit! Its true...

Cool
