Abandoned the followings: Junk food life Gym rat life TV and social media Toxic relationships Talking everyday to my family Buying clothes (seems fool but for women its a big thing) started investing the money in books instead Lots of beliefs that I got from society/church/friends/family... People are calling me crazy cause Im much calmer than I used to be, dont know where its leading me but since I feel good about myself and the things I do, I will just keep doing it, I feel like Im cleaning myself from all the labels, beliefs I had/ were given to me, It feels good af.. In the beggining can be really hard but its just bad habits, we are simple and perfect the way we are, no need to add unnecessary things..

It will make a weak man mighty It will make a mighty man fall It will fill your heart and hands Or leave you with nothing at all It's the eyes for the blind And legs for the lame It is love for hate And pride for shame...

I started this path of self actualization 8 months ago and with that I started feeling this shifts in my vision and body, I feel bigger, taller, like expanding, more aware of my body, things are clearer, lighter and more palpable, calmness, sometimes happiness, in the beggining it was like once a week, it used to happen when I was with someone I really like or doing something I love, like drawing. But now Ive been feeling it a lot, most of the time, if I'm concentrated in what i'm doing, Leo's videos for example, reading a book, talking to a friend, I feel different in my body, its close to the sensation after meditation for a long time, that akward feeling "what am I doing in this body?" but at the same time I feel confortable and natural, this week I was at Starbucks watching Leo's video and a baby arrived with his mom, he started staring at me, I was in that state, his mom had to rearrange the stroller so he could face me, I felt a strong connection with him, it's all beautiful thinking like that but the thing is I do feel high, I'm just writing that cause I'm paranoid that something is going on with my brain I've done Ayahuasca years ago, LSD and MDMA last trip was like a month ago, Im not intending to do anything so soon because of this feeling, I like the sensation and I do feel more connected to myself but its something totally new for me I also have been reading a lot, I'm doing the life purpose course and watching Leo's videos, maybe my mindset is changing too fast, I'm changing soooo much with everything I'm reading and seeing, it's crazy Sounds confusing and I know every person is different but I would like to hear from you guys! Thank you

@YoungSeeker I used the WILD method, you keep asking yourself during the day "am i dreaming or am i awake?" it worked for me, I've never induced it, and usually happens on weekends when I wake up at 7am (thats the time I usually wake up on weekdays) and go back to sleep, I've had 4 so far, I realized that having the intention before sleep works, my first one I slept and decided, I'm gonna lucid dream this morning, and boom, its so fucking incredible, when I realized I was dreaming (I looked at the watch and the hours were all weird, thats how I checked in two dreams, some people try to breath through the nostrils to confirm if they are dreaming) I was like "OMG I want to fly!!!" but I started hearing a buzzing and I realized I needed to create the scene, then I thought about a window and jumped out of it, first I was flying over a forest but then I landed in between buildings, the rest of the dream was created by my unconscious, I had sex with a guy, he was my boyfriend, I worried about using condom but then I knew I was dreaming so I would be fine haha The other ones I was so exciting that I was dreaming that I woke up, so couldnt get a lot of it, but its so nice the feeling I havent practiced for a long time, but the first one gave me a boost cause I now know that iucid dreams are possible, we can go anywhere and do anything, its so vivid, I'm not focusing on it right now but for sure is a way os accessing that higher intelligence that shamans are in contact when taking psychedelics IMO I subscribled for this webinar on lucid dreaming, here is the link if you guys are interested http://dreamstudies.org/2017/02/10/free-webinar-on-how-to-preparing-for-impactful-lucid-dreams/ I want to hear your stories and methods too!

@Phrae Feels like my laptop is 5 meters away from me while I'm typing when actually is only 40 centimeters @FirstglimpseOMG wow that was amazing, I love your description and everything you have within you, thanks for sharing a bit of your world. I guess I'm becoming more aware, I watched this video about naive realism and yes, it was a slap on my face, ive watched some things about it before but only with this video that I experienced it, so crazy, it was one of those aha moments that destroyed all the sand castles ive built in my life, you talked about the 5 senses and it reminded me of something, I started taking shower in the dark a couple weeks ago, I dont know where this idea came from but its like a meditation, I shut down one sense and the others become stronger, feels amazing, melts my perception of reality. Im just amazed with life, the more I understand about it the more I see how simple and perfect it actually is, we just like to complicate sometimes @Tronds World @jse @Rocky Thank you all guys, I'm so glad for being able to share and read such beautiful and usefull things in this forum!

@Leo Gura I’m seeing 5 meo DMT, mushrooms, LSD topics distributed randomly in self- actualization/ Meditation, Consciousness, Enlightenment, Spirituality/ Alternative healing etc and I thought why we don't have an especifc topic about psychedelics? I bet this had already crossed your mind and I apologize if that's not the main focus of actualized.org but I'm seriously interested about them and I love the interaction in this forum.

Sometimes I think if I'm obsessed too, I used to use this word a lot, obsessed, I've been obsessed about fitness, nutrition, drawing, psychedelics, some books, some authors, I chose to change the word "obsessed" to passionate, some of my passions are gone, since I dug so much into it, I feel like I know enough or experienced a lot about the subject and it's time to go to the next one, but actualized.org has been in my life quite a while, it's an occurring passion, and you know why? Because it's about life, Life is endless, infinite, it's not a subject that you study about and that's it, there is no end, there is no truth, we just keep learning and experiencing and living, what can inspire me more than Life? Nothing, I keep doing what I'm doing, I don't have only actualized.org as a source of information, so that way I don't take Leo's ideas and opinions for me. One of his videos he talks about a quote, I don't remember who wrote it but it's something like, the ship in the ocean, we are the ship and our thoughts/beliefs the ocean, we are in an ocean of ideas and opinions, reading stuff everywhere, a ship is supposed to be in the ocean not somewhere else, always moving and what is the ocean? It's water, it's always changing, that's how we should keep our thoughts/beliefs, don't hold on to anything permanently, absorb the ideas you think will serve for you, use it, experience it yourself, than after you learn you get better and jump to another idea. sorry about my English, but im glad you talked about it because it's something I needed to clarify to myself and express it.

I think the topic "dreams" on general, its a really interesting subject to explore, since we sleep for hours every night, what are we doing in that time? Could we be doing some enlightenment work? Why do we dream? Is just our ego playing or we are having contact with some higher intelligence? What are the possibilities in a lucid dream? Best techniques to induce it? Does it bring us to expanded state of consciousness? I've personally started using the method WILD for lucid dreaming and with my fisrt LD I was just SHOCKED with all the possibilities, I'm reading about it but I would like to know Leo's opinion before going deep in, maybe its just all bs, maybe its not..
