@DrewNows Well you are welcome thanks btw also. I only take notes when I schedule a session where I sit down and read, reading in bed or in a train etc. I won't tale notes there. So, noway I am doing that very well yet

@DrewNows That is what I feel like I still have to overcome I can speed read, yet if I am not familiar with the text book it will take me longer, and one advice from the book is to slow down a bit for more comprehension. I notice I do this automatically, also always to ask what do I want to understand out of this chapter etc. It's quite serious and when reading during leisure time, I am not regerading any of the advice. Speed reading text books it depends on the complexity of the topic. Some stuff is fine, yet I will take notes. Which costs most of the time. They also said subliminal "talking" is not entirly possible to overcome, yet I get what is meant with flow. A lot of subconscious talking is reduced and reading at high speeds with comprehension becomes fun or releaxed / flow.

@Enlightenment Thanks for the link, I find it difficult to asses the enlightenment of people who are not considered zen masters etc. I like Martin Ball a lot, I did some research and pretty much have access to all safety precautions now. Does the enviroment affect the trip? Or is the experience that strong, that it eludes enviromental factors? Any other tips? I want to "plug it" not snort or smoke it. Leo has a video on his blog for this. I've read a couple of reports, + tons of videos. I'll most likely order a book on Leo's booklist before I try it and read a few more reports. Anyway, when I tried it I'll write a report.

@Leo Gura would it help with ones LP and taking more action, or is this also an independent variable/factor? It's been pretty solid after some years and not much has changed. The spiritual part just becomes stronger, which is also included in the LP.

@Leo Gura How much of an impact on daily life would it have? Will I'll be able to attend uni for instance after doing this on a weekend?

@ardacigin Interesting, unfortunately I had last year a set back for a couple of weeks. Also, with a formal meditation habit of 1h a day. Rarely shorter depends on the circumstance. ( I had a solid meditation habit of 3y approx) I also can't sit crossed legged I tried some strechting exercises in the morning to gain some flexibility, so I set in the burmese position. I also noticed thaz I become very unconscious, a "foggy or nebulous mind" came back and I could feel the thickness of the unconsciousness. Awesome that you can do 2h of SDS, 1h and 30min most often is enough for me. Also, that was the duration of all the retreats I attended so far which is not that much. Thanks for the report! Definitely insightful.

@Leo Gura lol haha poor shinzen. What are your thoughts on Ayahuasca in comparison to 5-MeO? If anyone else wants to comment, that would be great too. I watched a lot of reviews about 5-MeO and found a retreat her that is legal with Ayahuasca their description sounded solid, they use what old shamans used to use and don't mix their own stuff as many shamans apparently do. Also very curious about dark room retreats since Shinzen did one for 100 days and saw insects as living creatures afterwards. I asked him about it and one of his quotes is enlightenment is being comfortable in the dark. I still struggle with this that is why I want to do some darkroom retreats.

@Leo Gura Are there some highly enlightened beings who have taken 5-MeO? I know Shinzen took LSD when he was younger and seems very open I bet he also did an ayahuasca retreat etc he definitely tried some native American approaches towards experiencing with sun dances, starvation and stuff like this.

What are some examples of conscious politics or politicions in the past? What do you think will happen in the future, will consciousnsss become an inevitable subject to talk about, because of a.i and automation? Are there conscious politicians and what characteristic makes them conscious? (besides consciousnsss itself) How can spiritual pratices influence politics? Why is consciousnsss not a subject inside politics? Is consciousnsss to much of a hot topic, for instance when looking at debates etc? (jp, sam harris, matt dilahunti) Should highly spiritual people play a role in politics or will this only cause corruption? How much are spiritual talks for instance by sadghuru, the Dalai lama and Eckhart Tolle influencing the political landscape? Why are there so few conscious alternativ and why is it so hard to convince people to become more conscious? Would conscious politicians change the way society and countries and a state works? If yes how and what would need to be adressed? What is a conscious option, possibility or alternative for dealing with populism and far-right people? Do you think spiral dynamics is a valid model that could be used for a more conscious discourse and would the model be succesful if it would be used be yellow politicans? What would be dangerous about conscious politics? How much would multiple awakenings of politicans shake the political playground? Who do you intuit has an approach or election program providing the most conscious value to society, regardless if it is a party or an individual. What would be a conscious approach to liberterianism? Why are egaliteran parties still lacking conscious approaches, how could they move to yellow? What is the most conscious thing you could sell the public to help the public to move up the spiral and become more conscious? How can conscious politics be useful for discussing changes with friends and family, also when joining a party, what woud classify conscious politician? Is classim neccesary and what could or not be conscious about it? For instance the cast system in india? Are there any subjects that are already conflated, so it would be inevitable to not regard it as conscious politics, such as global warming, destruction of the rain forest, potentially terrorism? What is "non-conscious" politics? How much religion is still needed? Looking at for instance two/one german party it is named after a religion partially the name does not neccesarly matter, yet still has a connotation. Why does religion still seem to be so important? (stage blue believe in purpose etc?) Any future trends that will be inevitable or would need to be adressed?

Reflections of the past two days. I finished the audiobook deep work from Cal Newport on Friday and already started to re-listen to it again. What did I learn and what principles do I take out of the book? Definitely, the journalism method to take the time of spontaneously to do deep work for a day or two. Otherwise generally to take time off when I am processing difficult work or doing a project some people in the audiobook took two months of. Not everyone has that kind of luxury. Then, that deep work does not count as taking one day off and doing a lot of work. If it is not possible to do this 1h is fine a day to work deeply on a subject, yet it is important to reduce shallow distractions. What shallow distractions do I reduce? -> actualized.org comments even if I am quite active here lately, I reduced it through a filter on my pc, so I mainly type things either... on the toilet for some great info or while I am taking breaks between studying for 5 to 15min. Which is fine and serves as sort of a reward. -> Social Media, I deleted Instagram, I dislike using facebook anyway and have my phone on silent. -> E-mails I have more or less dedicated time and I don't receive as much. -> Netflix etc. I don't use this a lot after I quitted TV for years already. What shallow distractions am I still influenced by? -> YouTube and watching videos online -> Actualized.org -> News sometimes That is about it I think I am doing pretty good with distractions, there are some minor ones which bother me more. I have more trouble sticking to a schedule, yet it is getting better slowly. I definitely want to do a 30-day challenge with visualization either after meditation or before going to bed and holding myself accountable with a calendar. I will re-listen to the audiobook again and do some speed reading after the exams are over for 30 days, that should fit as my next 30-day challenge. Otherwise, I'll stick to the advice from the other two cal Newport books I read, yet the students association here has it "backwards" if they still post pictures of racism and a guy booting a black guy and I even know the person who posted the picture. Shows me their "wokeness" the guy is not necessarily racist, yet would turn to one for survivals sake. Since, it is "practical" which is so orange/blue, yes I am simplifying, yet I can't turn to other concepts currently and I think spiral dynamics fits. I hope the European election results produce some change, on how they deal with people, people can't see how classist, racist, sexist, etc. They are and that we even have to talk about it bothers me. It's important yes, yet nobody talks about the nuance, I can do it with two people explaining others the nuance, is not worth it politicians should enforce these views or make it a bit more obvious. Yet, people don't care as much to build their own opinion. Which would even be more stage orange or orange/green! Since one trust only his or her own experience. I do notice these tendencies sometimes in myself, yet I can't get feedback very well since nobody apparently seems to think or notice it and others go through life and diminish it. Tbh this is why I like the cs nerds more, their practicality thinking is above the "engineering" type people whom I meet, so they are more aware of the "software" social constructions of things and the abstract reality of things etc. Yet, their arrogance is higher. Also, they are more polite and compassionate in my experience. This is why I like cs so much also, besides coding and the moral questions that are being asked for instance in a.i classes. Now, I did a good amount of work on Friday and studied early in the morning attend my classes and went back home, since a friend of mine gave me an opportunity to potentially earn some money. His father has a couple of companies and he had a heart attack, now he is the business executive of all of this stuff. They will sell an old apartment and all of the items and products inside, most of it is semi-trash some of it is sellable. Yet, they have for instance a different company which produces army trucks in the past, no idea how his father managed to do all of this mostly alone. He told me some crazy stories this is the guy who is going to become a doctor in the a.i / cs field. It's sad that he jumped off the spiritual path somehow because it was forced upon him because of his culture. He showed me his paper that he is writing about convoluted algorithms, obviously, I have no clue, yet I was interested and told him reading the abstract is fine, he explained his model to me and reduced the parameters used be using some sort of recursion? To 1.3 million and it is getting peer-reviewed now, I could find the paper online, I never thought I'd befriend a person who is a scientist or wants to become one. Still, it makes sense after my LSD trips and my upbringing + materialistic cultures and how to progress generally happens or is happening right now. I watched this documentary today, only the first part. Anyway, he showed me the store and I took one thing that I could potentially sell online, afterward we hung-out. This is one of the friends where I feel he is very yellow and I can talk about knowledge all-day, yet I noticed the number of books and knowledge he consumes, let alone solely through friends is very different from my media-driven peers and friends is different + he is just getting into more PD with nootropics and food, so I can't really talk much besides politics which is just standard somehow, with bi-racial compatriots or green + people. They don't understand how monoracial people project so much based on culture, language, etc. But, fine some do some don't. In the end, it is behavioral driven unfortunately social constructs exist. Like I read today in the students association, just gives me more incentives to leave these stupid people behind. Taking an objective standpoint and distancing myself is the best I can hope for, for deluded people. This region is not "woke" enough to enjoy it's nature even, the performance group does. The egalitarian people are acting as moralistic bourgeoisie and are more orange/green. Otherwise, I am shooting for a 2h session of meditation today, I usually do an hour and on Wednesday 1h and 45min. I'll visit some friends of my family today and we will be grilling, I will take my laptop with me and go there by bike for some exercise and enjoyment of nature. So, I can work on the two coding projects and make some progress and I don't have to cook This is what I partially mean with the journalism method. As long as there are internet and a place where I am not distracted I can work. I want to benefit more from that when I move into a larger city. I'll like working outside and indoors. Which is a bit difficult to find besides libraries. Besides that the friend showed me some courses that are doable in a.i about convolution networks and invited me to do some coding sessions, since he also dislikes to code alone the whole time, if you have a friend who can sit around and code for some time that is just nice, for some small talks breaks, getting through stuff and talking about problems here and there. For him he said it is motivating, he also gets very hyped explaining scientific stuff and general is ok with explaining and very very very good with details. So, I'll gladly take the invitation to do some coding sessions over the weekend. Yet, this will be either possible in October or in July as I told him because of my schedule. So, enough writing in a journal. I definitely want to think about the difference of having an online journal and a physical one. I thought about posting my physical journals. Not sure why gives me a feeling of accomplishment. As do video games etc. I read a book about this stuff etc. Now on to the journey towards no-self...

Wilber has a good example in his audiobook cosmic consciousnsss. For instance would you throw a person of a bridge in order to save the train from crashing and kill the pasengers inside. Also, the life boat moral question. I am not going into full detail, yet for instance on a life boat stage green would say everyone is equal, no one is better, and therefore draw sticks in order to throw someone of the boat and use the food rations therefore longer. Red would choose the most powerful and strongest person and dominate the whole situation and choose for instance a gang leader or warlord who would run the show who flies off the boat and who not, based on power, strength, threat level etc. Yellow would look for depth and span for instance two hells angles with Albert Einstein a normal couple, and a biology teacher on theone boat. The hells angles have to go. They do not provide a lot of value in the situation and are dangerous people to begin with, since their color code is red. Also, to society they do not provide much value. The biology teacher might know a trick or two to stay alive longer, the normal couple would be tricky to answer since they are a normal couple, to kill Albert Einstein would be nuts, because he provides the most value to society and is not a threat. Blue with the train example would jump infront of the train, if for instance his religion or set of beliefs would allow him to do so, for the greater good or god. Yellow would evaluate is the person highly valuable to society, who is in the train etc. Which is difficult to answer here. Green would not do anything since all lives are equal and who are they to decide etc.

@Andrewww You could try loving kidness meditation. Potentially, go to a festival a color festivial or so for a love feeling. I've only been to one festival, yet I did loving kindness meditation for some time. Which helped in daily live to feel more positive, happy, compasionate etc. in a "self-conditioned" way. https://self-compassion.org/test-how-self-compassionate-you-are/ Here is a good site you can have a look and see if it offers any benefits. It definitely helped me to gain awarness around self-compassion. It's from a quite well regarded Dr. imo. Her publications are even listed on the site.

Yeah, I like to see the differences to see the similarities. I like semantics, yet was more making a reference to syntactical aspects as well. I don't like to project my meaning of things onto another. I see it as an exchange of viewpoints. Anyway I am off topic, so I'll stop right here.

https://examples.yourdictionary.com/difference-between-ethics-morals-and-values.html I googled and checked what the difference is. Morals seem to stem out of values and values are internally derived inferences about what is right and wrong. Morals seem to be, what has been thought by others what is right or wrong, so they are an external standard. This is what I can make out of it for now. I never looked at it that way. Or simpler in mbti terms Fi vs Fe

@Leo Gura Yes, please I can discuss this with a political science major. They learn a lot about history and sociology + statistics. Very curious!!

@lmfao Yes, I listened to the audiobook the science of enlightenment from shinzen yesteday, he explains the big picture of contemplative practices in the last two chapters. He has a friend who has done shamanic rituals or native american ones. Doing sun dances etc. he explains for instance due to onerous life conditions it was easier to enter state-stages. It was not uncommon to enter into Samadhi while they played the drums, their minds settled into the spiritual experience with less resistence, than a moderner, who afterwards will still struggle with a racing mind (not sure if the term exists) because of the complex demands of a modern society. There is a ton of nuance. I don't understand most of it yet, I want to read about samskaras for now. I have the big picture, yet the devil is in the details... as so often.

Alright, Day 2: As I said I will write weekly ideally daily, yet that won't happen. Since this is not something I strive for. This will be another outlet. Yet, once a week is a good number to go for. I noticed since I used an App to block sites such as Actualized.Org, Facebook and other social media sites. I use my phone a lot. Also, I pretty much only visit Actualized.org sometimes I ask myself if I've become to centric around personal development. Especially, the theory part and being distracted by theory. Actions I took today: I studied approx for 4h only, which surprises me without classes. I did 3 study session each 45min for a project in Java and two study session for another project. I had only one class today. Yet, I slept really long since I am having setbacks when going back and forth between going home on weekends occasionally waking up in the morning. The guys above me are lunatics in the dorm 10-6 people in a single appartment and the guy lives with his girlfriend apparently. Last time I called the cops and informed myself about my rights since I am not dealing with their horseshit/bullshit/shit. I also, saw this as an opportunity to exercise assertiveness. Since according to the law I have to first talk with the person about it or talk with the landlord which I did both. I am so happy that this hysterical asshole who comes by is gone because I called the cops at 3 am, I'll do it again gladly. It is not okay to deprive others of sleep, because of noises. This already shows me that I am still materialistic I want to live in a house again, an apartment is quite annoying, there is just more silence. Sure this is relative, yet living so close with "strangers" is odd, maybe that is the reason many Germans live in houses regardless where they are at. The class today was okay, we learned more stuff about PHP and Web-based programming. I dislike the topic a lot though, yet I am also interested since it would provide myself a platform where I could offer something. Yet, there are so many tools and programming ? languages ? which create templates such as typo 3 and such IIRC. I am also quite hyped to meet my favorite prof ideally next week and getting a key to his "research" laboratory which is just a room full with android based stuff and health and fitness related technologies. For instance, Nvidia shield and programming that stuff, I mean he is self-thought and has a degree in arts and marketing, still he speaks 5 languages, he was in the hospital last week. Anything else that was insightful or that I wanted to post today? I wanted to post my survival list and I am thankful that Leo framed it that way, I always thought of it as living not survival. I also wanted to read the post about samskaras, yet I am missing my bedtime. So here I go with the list. Currently, I feel only the competent survive the rest is thrown away Why have/do certain things persits and not others ? (Survival Video Leo) To maintain for instance, skills, relationships, family, systems of surving (look at self-help) Balance ressources Stopping overconsumption Insights Breaking barries, poltical, cultural ( if nothing would persist there would be nothing to break) Decision making, choosing the correct path Trusting intuition, heart self, gut feelings Abillty to persits through life circumstances Meeting emotional needs in hard times Able to follow through with plans and goals, visions. Not giving up, or making the right call and quit Asking for competent advice Dismissing trolls,negativity,hater, toxic stuff Strong bonds (Manipulation) (Scheming) (Lying) (Playing victim) (Playing innocent) (Acting naive) (Domination) Being Assertive Proactive Differntiating from what is important and urgent and what is not important and not urgent Knowing what one wants Accepting responsiblity Dealing with ones lower self Abillity to compete Abillity to produce results Abillity to study for long times Abillity manage projects/situations/people Taking breaks Maintaing and working on relationships Making neccessary phone calls Planning neccessary dates, events, family activities, down-time Knowing the how to's and why's and hows. Questioning asking Just do it Cutting off the right people Mentors Teachers Guides Books Abillity to deal with self-deception Controlling impuslive behaviours Understanding emotions Being emotionally unreactive The opposite of survival is? Decadence Overly self-critical Not seeing survival as a game Not seeing survival as a necessity Not improving ones chance to survive Not investing in oneself Sticking with addictions Not breaking bad habits Not cultivating positive habits Being unaware Eating shitty food Complacency Projection Hatred ( breeds desire to kill ? ) Having and keeping enemies Wasting time Not investing time in the things one wants Negative self-talk Heavy Drugs Overconsumption of entertainment Ideology ( in the name of and in the name against survival) Dogma Illness Accidents Feeding fears Creating negative self-fulfilling prophecies Shitty food Shitty habits Shitty water Shitty sleep Shitty thinking Not building skills Constant overstimulation tv, sex, masturbation, video games, movies, food, soda Staying in contact with complacent people, hateful, spiteful, aggressive, ignorant etc. Not building financial independence Building a life where one needs to struggle to survive Not taking opportunity and chances Always avoiding risks Being unpolite Bein overly polite Sucking on drama/latching onto Feeding of your parents without trying to make/create smth. Carrer, vision, etc. Not becoming independent Overcoming dependencies Becoming interdependent Myopia Sticking to one's rigid identity Not realizing god Not realizing true self, no self Not accessing transcending needs (if they exist) Being passive-aggresive Limiting beliefs Neglecting performance Meditation Yoga Accessing state-stages Accessing subtle,causal,non-dual realams Cleaning chakras (Cultivating a mind-body relationship) Not informing oneself about post survival stuff Accepting reincarnation theories (nirvana/samsara) Accepting the content of dreams Considering sidhis Pursuing enlightenment Neglecting enlightenment Jhanas or states of high concentration/forms of absorptions IIRC Psychedelics Rituals self-destruction self-sabotaging What would be characteristics of modern day survival? Who survive somethings and not others? Industriouness Cutting of distractions Autodidact Emotional Mastery Mindful Skillful Entrepreneurial (knows how to earn money) Skill-based Networking / Relationships Getting rid of toxic humans and relationships Planning Vision Cooking Book Smarts Psychology, Programming, Cooking, Spirituality, Biology/Nutrition, Management, Finance, Trading, Raising a family/child Social Skills Charisma knowing how to sell him or her self. Destroying negative habits Forming positive habits Meditation Reducing Stress Exercise Clothes (as superficial as this is) Speech Family (unfortunately true) Positive thinking Generating positivity Generosity Competence Language skills (at least English) Nurturing friendships Financial Independence (Cryptocurrencies) Offering a product or service (coaching, consulting, a book, an app, a website, offering skills) Abiding to principles Discipline Strategic intent Hobbies which fulfill Maslow pyramid getting recognition and self-esteem, potential partners, relationships, sex, emotional security, creative outlet, Awareness Uniqueness(Gifts, talents, predispositions) Basic survival needs Food (right kinds of foods) Water (right kind of water) Shelter (right kind of environment) Political Awareness Education Country (State) Religion Hormones (?) Breathing (considering pollution) Quality air Sunlight exposure Visiting doctors, dentists other rapists. Inner Game Positive self-talk Energy management Managing subtle addictions coffee, sugar, ravenousness, Attitude How to approaches Asking questions Finding competent people Dealing with toxic people Life experience ( travel, age, country, religion, family, state, language, culture, projects, talents, hobbies, gifts) Company Department Housing, Apartment, flat Predispositions, illnesses, trauma, mental illness, Friendships (Travelling for modern day survival) Sleep 7-8h Constant learning Virtues Group/friends/company with similar virtues (Enlightenment for trans-post-integral-post-survival or meta survival) Persistence Endurance Ability to deal with hardships Knowing how to deal with depression Things I did not finish from the notes I have taken. Survival can be fun! There is nothing just or fair about it is just survival Model is wrong: Survival at the micro level -> planning of planning -> adding of adding -> sleeping of sleeping -> routine before bed -> planning the whole week and checking in or planning each day -> keeping options open -> throwing in my two cents -> using the actualized.org forum Check how it adds your survival: Also, check that it is important to your survival. What is unique to your self-image What is that ghost Drama is survival in action If I want to relieve from that become a master of understanding survival Survival is suffering To stall out the clock Unique demands of your ghost: Who does it want? What threatens it Who does it want to be? Observe your self-surviving Macro survival strategies -> weekly planning Intellectual worldviews and ideas I am attached to What is survival of survival ? -> The process of survival ? What is my life is not survival? I can't really address every point otherwise I'd be spending an hour thinking about this minimum. Yet, I saw a guy yesterday in the cafeteria wearing a shirt with the nike logo upside down saying I can't do this. And it looked like a sarcastic smile or some sort of mustache that is sarcastic and it reminded me that humor definitely is fun! I truly miss extroverted people who can help me get out of my shell otherwise I am stuck with a constant conception of the concept of planning. I also looked into master programs today, and I was surprised that I still have a lot of options open. Also, I did not find much about the thing I want to dive deeper into. I am not sure if I want to dive into robotics without testing any of it. I took an A.I class on my voluntarily, the math behind how he explained it was not that difficult, yet it took some time to get back into it. Tomorrow I will go there again, even if I said that I would not go last journal entry and I even wrote a mail to him because I asked him for an exercise sheet I did not receive. There was more, yet I would need the necessary time or good questions to come up with it again. Here my resume for today. What I learned today and what I wanted to improve + changes. Do another 30-day challenge with the whiteboard and stick with that Currently, I want to do more deep work and thought conceptually about it and did some stuff, this is so important as programmer engineer etc. That I want different approaches, I definitely utilize the journalist approach mentioned in the book. Workout tomorrow, this habit is so solid, I am surprised going to the gym or jogging 5 times a week. Vitamin C and Iron are live savers in the morning I still suck with being more extroverted. Now I am gone! The 30 day challenge will be either cold showers, visualizations, or cbt. Since, I can't stick with these currently. There is more. So, another time another entry.

@lmfao Dissolving the self would be accessing the true self or no self. Both are the same. You would become a stream enterer. Your sense and view of identity would vanish completely. There are many interesting maps. I always liked to do this as a kid, to lool at world maps geographie and stuff like this. It is relative in a sense, yet this is where the most likly highly advanced or "god" like nuance lies. For instance one problem Leo mentioned in his audioreview (new) of the thyroid book, was adressed yesterday by shinzen. The guy had the same problem with cold hands and feet and shinzen told him that it is a "sign" of one of the deepest stages. The guy also had a very good meditation routine of 1h and 30min. Most do 30min to 20min. So, in contrast he grew very fast and did the work!!

@lmfao it is most likely good to read about state-stages. Spiral dynamics is about value structutes less moral codes, but value codes. Which drive differences which is very similar, but less judgment based and more behaviour based imo. I can't personally distinguish the two very well. For e.g Imagine a shaman being fully enlightend (I did not read the Carlos Castaneda books but he was an antrhopologist being initiated into the modalities of being a shaman) He would still be attached to magical thinking the sun is the holy spirit of the reincarnation of god Z. Live in a tribe that is polyamorous and where multiple women take care of multiple infants, so one women in the tribe cares about 2-3, for e.g, infants till they are adults and can go hunting. Still it is one big family in a tribe sense. Reading about jhanas could help to have an idea of enlightenment experiences or technically, states of absorption independent of "structure" development in the moral or values line. Also, people have a gravity where they are centered according to wilber for instance your gravity can be turqouise and 50% of your responses will come from that stage 33% from a stage higher and one stage lower. Also a person/human/creature/ etc. has one "subset" gravity. Excuse my wording. So, you gravity circles around on stage, yet you draw back heavly from another which is your "go to" substage or the bread and butter substage lol. This is what I read and can recall. Correct me in case there is an error, im open for feedback in general.

@CreamCat Alright I'll definitely download the app again to reduce blue light. Thank you for the tips!

@CreamCat is there anything important to know about the circadian rhythm? I know about rem sleep, deep sleep, light sleep phases etc. Also, that rem sleep is the phase were the body recovers the most and also dreams. The phase usually lasts 20 min. About the circadian rhythm I know that it adjust to the exposure of sunlight/artifical light? Are there any things to know about the circadian rhythm? I also read that melatonin is reduced when exposed to light and Serotonin is produced therefore, one should darken the room. Also, most likely why.. the light switch in the smart room, is so effective. I have difficulties in the morning to get started, since I am not doing cold showers anymore... Eating nuts before going to sleep is supposed to be also good to produce melatonin, I read that on the forum IIRC.

@CreamCat What's your take on different sleep styles like polyphasic or bi-phasic sleep? https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319425.php https://www.supermemo.com/en/archives1990-2015/articles/polyphasic I tried it for a month or longer two months or so this year, but relatively unsuccessful. Is it healthy? I tried advice from a book saying that you want to find your magic number which is around 7h and 10 min for me of sleep. Is it feasible in the long term to do smth. Like this ? I listened to someone yesterday explaining that he transcended his body. He had a lot of energy or "flow" and therefore did not need a lot of sleep. This is also what I heard about bodhisattvas.

Some things I find unnessecary, yet they could have deleted unconscious habits. The techniques not, different procedures yes, since I am not used setting up a book in that way and then going through it. Even if it makes sense.

@CreamCat @Leo Gura @Leo Gurart@Leo Gura i cant delte the tags with my phone... Around 1300+ wpm with techniques. Around 400+ without.

@whoareyou I read the article last week about Mooji, also about Robert August Masters cult. I was a bit disapointed that Mooji has sex scandals as so many gurus. The latter seems even more insane to me. Punishing children wearing diapers, having multiple partners, slamming someones head against something + a lot more violence. The article can be found on GuruMag.
