@Adam M I used a flotation tank when I was pregnant. It was cool for about 2 - 3 minutes, then novelty wore off and I felt weird. You can't relax. I was pregnant at the time though, so the fact that a small human was compressing my diaphragm and ribcage as I lay on my back, made it hard to breath, so I was slightly oxygen deprived to. Needless to say I was so relieved that I skipped out when it was finally finished. Meditating in my bedroom is without a doubt, a million times more worthwhile. And no faff or extra expense!

Take it one day at a time. Life is much more manageable that way... as long as you are 100% dedicated and never quit. You will make this work... the process might take a bit longer, that’s all. And remember, life is a game. If it was easy, it would be bloody boring!!! :-)

Hey @Nahm

A book called ‘Soul shaping’ by Jeff Brown.. I couldn’t not share

I like Ester Hicks, she's cool and makes sense. You can't take her literally though. She is a guide.

@Dodo You dont have to believe it if you don't want to, however, if you are curious... then do lots of research and read some books on it. :-) come to your own conclusion.

This is only true because most of the population are low conscious. So the majority of women will be that way by default. However, just like high conscious men are a minority, so are women, but they are still out there! However, you will only attract her by being high conscious yourself. And she will be aware your rarity, making the connection between you both, ridiculously strong! By acting low conscious to attract women, who are also low conscious, is low conscious behaviour in itself.. ;-)

You aren't far from Netherlands, you can buy them legally there from any smart shop, at least then you know what you are eating and in the unlikely case of you having an adverse reaction, medics will be able to be help. Alternatively you can buy truffles or growing kits online from reputable companies. Eating random wild mushrooms is so not worth the risk... in my opinion! Just save some money for a flight.. you will be more relaxed about it all as well, which will lead to a better trip. PS. dont be put off by them being 'truffles' not 'mushrooms, they are exactly the same and super powerful, just a different form to bypass the law.

'Fear is the illusion of separation. Love is the realisation of connection'

Sneaky!!!

Haha - I queried exactly this theory with you on a previous thread and your reply was that is wasn't possible, as I have never tried 5meo so therefore I will never understand that Absolute is the only Absolute.. (something along those lines anyway) Maybe you misinterpreted my question, but I was basically saying that there must be a possibility that Absolute Truth is another illusion, and there could be something beyond that, which we will never have any idea about.. ever. At least in consciously anyway.

@Emerald I agree, women understand themselves, their emotions and what they desire so much more than a man can every begin to comtemplate. It is funny to see them try though. However, these rules will work for a pool of unconscious women, but are they really what you want? Only you can answer that.

Just observe the mind, don't resist it anyway whatsoever. Just observe and detach, if you can't detach then dont. It's as simple as that. There is no goal, or way of controlling it. All you need to do is sit and stay aware. Whether you have a profound experience or not, is not up to you. You dont do meditation. Meditation does you

In Leo's video he states that the method needs to be done with eyes open. I've been following this to a T for the past few weeks, however, tried it a couple of times recently with eyes shut, which for me is quite a different experience. I'm just wondering what the reasoning is behind having eyes open, or if it doesn't really matter? Does anyone else do both? Opinions and experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you x

I am so obsessed with the 'Do Nothing' technique, I can't do any other one, as it just feels the easiest and allows me to fully surrender. I have actually gone back to 'eyes open' as doing this seems to keep me in the present moment, as previous posters have said, I end up going into a trance anyways.

Any girl that is put off by your stutter is not worth having. So in a way, view it as special detector, in which all the low quality, not worth knowing girls are screened out. When you otherwise wouldn't have been able to tell, until much late down the line. So it saves a lot of time wasting. So to reiterate, no 'decent' girl is going to care about your stutter, and as a previous poster said, if you make her laugh and feel special, have interesting conversations and are warm and open. She will love you for it! I dated a guy with a stutter, and it turned out to be one his attributes I was most attracted to, cause it made him unique. You will find a girl soon, mostly importantly relax, dont chase, be fun.. and a very special girl will turn up, when you are least expecting it. xxxx

what do you usually do ? I know it doesn't really matter, I'm just fascinated by other people's perspectives

Luckily enough you are so much younger than the majority of people who start these escapades, so you have time to do both!! Personally, I'd sort your life purpose first, then at least, that will be in place and less monkey mind to battle with when beginning intense meditation retreats and you won't have to worry about finances. You are only 21, enjoy and experiment in the game of life.. :-) I am 28 and feel like an old fart... But understand I am still on the younger side to be on board both these adventures, so I am happy with that. X

I currently mostly do the 'do nothing' technique which is awesome, however, sometimes throw in the 'mindfulness' one to mix it up a bit. I find this one a lot trickier as my mind tends to create thoughts on top of thoughts on top of thoughts, and i struggle to keep up with my mind to fully label and focus.. Can get very intense!

I do 20 minutes a day, started a few weeks ago, and o absolutely LOVE it!

But what of they were defenceless? Would they feel fear ? Or just indifferent? Or infinite love ?

I think the question is, and one that we can probably never know the answer to, is this; If a self claimed enlightened person, (male or female) is raped. Would they honestly, only feel unconditional love for their rapist? Would they feel absolutely 100% enlightened, during the experience and afterwards? If not, then they are not 'enlightened'. They are just as dualistic as the rest of us.

Although, from enlightenment's point of view, there would be no issue. However, from the human mind's perspective, it is wrong. It's a tricky one as of depends what angle you are coming from.
