I made a song inspired by Spiral Dynamics, psychedelics and spirituality. This is the result: I hope you guys like it. Cheers!

Use it as an objetc of awereness. Bring your focus to the high pitched sound. Stay there as long as you can.

Smoke weed, eat some mushrooms and listen to some really inspiring music while looking at nature. Boom.

If you still judge smokers, that means you haven't faced your own addictions yet. Believe me, you do have addictions. Smoking feels good. It's a social lubricant, and I dare say tobacco is a sacred plant for several shamanic traditions. Every sacred plant has something to teach. I've learned a lot myself dealing with nicotine addiction. I feel like there's a perfect order of sacred plants teachings: tobacco => marijuana => mushrooms / peyote => ayahuasca The shamanic path is, nevertheless, a dangerous path.

yes / yes / no

Nah, his main trigger is actually red. He hates red's guts and that's his whole campaign. Legalizing guns, putting more people in jail, and so on... He's solid blue. Blue can be as cruel and violent as red, you see... Every level can, really.

That's an unbiased opinion from a second tear standpoint. Most Brazilians, including some folks that are commenting here just can't get out of the mainstream perspective, which is sad given that this forum is supposed to be full of "high consciousness" people. Bolsonaro is probably the final blue move in our history, he will make it very clear blue's limitations, and I fear our gamma trap will be solved through rebellion / revolution. We might even spiral down to red, like it's happening in some Northeastern cities. It's so sad, but it's true. Brazil won't be green in our lifetimes... We have four years of "regress" ahead. That's why I want to go somewhere else ASAP.

@Stefano Haddad himself is an example of honest and competent person, despite his affiliantion with Lula / PT. He was one of the best mayors São Paulo ever had. He's intelectually light-years ahead of Bolsonaro. I won't be repplying, because it's a waste of time, but try to see the perspectives you're missing, my friend. Sincerity and honesty are huge values for you, but they exist just in your head. No ego is sincere or honest. We're all playing games here.

Bolsonaro: blue (super blue) Trump: red / orange Haddad: green Even though your narrative about the political situation in Brazil has partial truths, it doesn't change the fact that the PT candidade was well ahead on the spiral when compared to Bolsonaro. The choice wasn't really that hard. A green candidade that belongs to a corrupt party and a blue candidade that also belonged to a very corrupt party (PP). Your narrative seems the standard orange narrative that got spread through mass media. There's much more nuance in the scenario. Lula is not the saint that the workers party says he is, but he is also not the devil like most orange oriented people like to say. The funnyest thing is that lula himself is ORANGE/green and people think he plans to implement blue communism in Brazil. Orange will always go with blue or none when forced to choose between blue and green. It hates green more than anything. Politics are really easy to understand when you have a good grasp of the Spiral Dynamics model.

Your goal is to tell the truths without the blaming in your heart. It has to be authentic. People are just lost. They have no guidance, no father, no mother, no education. Just the sick culture. It's not their fault.

Is there a "free won't" of some sorts, or this ship is just bouncing around? I can summon people and situations, does magic have a use in realization or is it pure distraction? I feel like watching a movie of my life sometimes. I also have a sense of expansion when I close my eyes and concentrate. What might be the trap that keeps me in the duality? This ego is a high IQ motherfucker, it feels like this kind of intelligence might actually be an obstacle to realization. Most of my breakthroughs and insights came from psychedelic experiences. Is that "entering the room through the window", or do you belieave a healthy amount of psychedelic experiences is actually necessary for most people? Is it possible to recognize an awake person just by looking at his / her eyes?

Everything everyone says might be misleading. We can use some pictures, brother.

what do you mean, humans?

It's definitely not offensive, but points to a truth that most egos feel uncomfortable to admit. That's why they simply stop listening to what you have to say and start justifying their position. I found eating habits can be hard as religious dogmas to break. Maybe even harder... Food is most people main attachment to this sensory experience. I openly talk about psychedelics with people. I usually start saying that LSD helped me to quit a 5 year nasty smoking habit. There's nothing wrong with being honest about your position when asked, but if there's curiosity from someone else, that is actually a window oportunity for you to learn more about your own unconsciousness. I don't want to sound paternalistic. Most comments in this forum come from that position and just suck... It's just that I really can relate to your experience and I am convinced that I have done some really good progress in this regard.

I generally say my vegetarian diet has significantly improved my health. That really gets their attention. When you say "i just do not want to support the animal farming industry", they actually hear "I think you meat eaters are hypocrite murderers". If you are high consciousness, you understand the responsibility of your words. You don't blame others if they don't understand you, you improve yourself to better convey your messages. That's the catch, that's the challenge. Being gentle doesn't mean being nice, means avoiding the firs-tear finger pointing. Of course, you will fail. People are going to misunderstand you. It's not their fault, they could not possibly behave other way.

Is there a way to know, from your experience, if someone is at the brink of enlightenment? Is your experience 100% of presence, or your brain still eventually gets lost in thought (even though you probably doesn't identify with the thoughts)? What is the main trap you think Leo's teachings might unintentionally lead his audience to? Is your body still motivated by desire and fear sometimes? Do you feel like having sex eventually? Do you feel like altering your state with drugs eventually?

Yes and no. No other mammal cook their food. No other mammal also shoots heroin. I know the natural / artificial boundary is blurry (non-existent, really), but try to read what I am trying to convey, not what you want to debunk.

What is the freaking difference between eating a person and a cow? The butchered meat look pretty much the same. Our physiological complexities are also very similar. Is cannibalism ok? Why is it ok to eat some animal and not others? Would you have a raw meat diet?

We cook our foods, and that's not the way nature intended us to behave. Do you feel hungry when you look at a breathing cow? Do you feel hungry when you look at fresh strawberries? It's just a matter of cultural programming. We barely have the necessary hardware to consume other animals meat. We don't have claws, our teeth are not designed for meat. We are pretty much chimps wearing suits. Chimps don't eat barbecue. (this is not a debate, I will not reply, just consider what I am saying)

yes, they are, and so are you! why don't you lead conversations about "high consciousness topics" with them in a gentle way? I find that people heavily admire folks that behave very differently from the social norm. They have a huge curiosity. Use it! If you're bored with people, then maybe they could use a hand instead of judgement

Hey friends, I thinks this forum is an appropriate place for me to seek guidance from people that are going through similar things. I have been experiencing with several psychedelics, meditation, yoga and breathing techniques the last couple years. A couple months from now I started experiencing some really weird states in my daily life, making it quite hard to cope with work. I am a front-end developer - it's a very cerebral work and I find myself struggling to "be a person" sometimes. I feel like I am high / on a meditative state, then I feel a strong pressure in the back / top of my head. It's kinda hard to work when I am in this state. Does anyone have a clue of wtf is going on? Should I quit psychedelics experiments? I am also a moderate consumer of weed ( 1 - 3 times a week, very low doses, since I am VERY sensitive to THC - I get ultra high with just a couple of puffs) Thank you!

It is very true indeed, but when you cross the paranoia bridge, there you find pure bliss. And that is why it is so hard for some people (like me) to detach from chemically induced bliss. It is there available everyday, and it doesn't do as much harm as smoking cigarettes, drinking, or other kinds of escapism.

@ArhattobeGreat sober response, thank you! I am proud to say I have a very clean mostly plant based diet. I do physical yoga (Hatha) and have an overall healthy lifestyle. I don't do and ever did hard drugs, I don't even drink anymore. I was expecting for people to share similar experiences, and how they dealt with it, since there are many psychonauts around. I agree about the quitting weed idea. I've been thinking about it for some time. I have an obvious attachment to mj, and I am sure a lot of people here can relate to the fact that it is a hell of a spiritual tool. The trick is, probably, that like any spiritual tool, we have to let go to be reborn and let the flow of life go on. Thanks for the other responses too!
