Hey, this seems incredible work. How did you come up with those principles? It was a task in the retreat to contemplate about what are principles, or what do it now means, etc? Can i have access to those teachings?

I feel the same, if i don't binge eating, my trip will be pretty active, high vibration, full of insights and energy by in the comedown i tend to get low energy, lazy, brain fogged, apathetic etc. It is said that some strains and types have different effects, for instance, i know that haxixe makes me more active than regular weed. But i don't know if you can skip this comedown effect, seems to be a law of reality its ups and downs.

God likes to trip balls

Yeah, I get it, that's kind of what I have been doing for some time, this aversion for authority/discipline is a insight I had a couple weeks ago and, gladly, I have made some progress. Not nearly as much as I want to, but still progress, which is nice.

I kind of answered my own question in my last post, but thanks anyway.

I have not said that, watch your projections. What i meant was if it is possible to at stage green, without having fully embodied blue and orange values. I outgrow them by seen their limitations while i was at those stages, my view today is much more holistic, complex and systematic, going for turquoise maybe in this lifetime () but i have not fully embodied a good work ethic, discipline and commitment (at least not with their full spectrum). That being said, i do recognize that those values are important, in fact, they are the bottleneck of my self-actualization right now. My green side doesn't like rigidity and authority, even self-imposed, my work is to recontextualize those blue values and integrate them like a good soon to be yellow.

I consider myself stage green/yellow, but i don't have some of the good values from blue and orange, like hard work, commitment, discipline but i have those as my number one priority to develop right now, this is possible?

The way i see, it is better to fully grasp and integrate ONE good concept than simple memorize one hundred. True life-changing moments come from deep contemplation, laser-focused in one idea at a time. Sit for 30 minutes and try to articulate and question any idea and your life will change pretty fast because you will truly know why you do X or Z, it isn't just something someone said in a video, even if it is from the most enlightened being, you must come to their conclusions by yourself (assuming that this being is right, of course). The concept of contemplation for me is how you truly learn something. I means to give yourself all authority, full autonomy since you are deriving all your answers and beliefs from yourself, not others.

That is key. As someone who suffered from really bad discipline and bad habits my whole life, i am finally seeing a light here and this is helping me a lot with taking action. I am basically doing a lot of contemplation and trying to be precise with what i really want and what i have to do to achieve that. This puts a lot of things in perspective. Do i want to realize my true existential nature or do i want to be a couch potato wasting way life with video games, weed and junkie food? If i really want X and i KNOW doing Y will get me there, why the fuck i am not actually doing Y and doing some bullshit instead? I think it really comes from being brutally honest with myself and ground myself in my direct experience, not what i think but what is actually. I often thought that smoking weed and playing video games and eating garbage was actually helping me deal with my anxieties from the spiritual purging process, i was fucking deluded! It is just an escape, increase in consciousness (grounded in reality) is always the way to go, self-deception is really a BITCH.

Every time that Leo misses a Sunday video without any communication I get legit worried that he finally lost it lol

Can you share exactly how you did it? I am a Hatha Yoga teacher and i am also interested in adding Kriya Yoga to my practices without turning into a 2h long session(although the isn't even THAT long). You did Kriya practices(which ones?) in the beginning of your hatha yoga? My routine is usually this: Warming up > 3x Oms > Sankalpa > Pranayama > asanas > shavasana > (sometimes nadi shodana) > meditation I was thinking in including Kriya after the shavasana but you seem to have included before everything.

See Leo's video "What is Actuality" and apply it, work on your first chakra, ground yourself in your direct experience, stop mental masturbation, practice contemplation (aka how you use the power of your brain in a healthy way). When in doubt, look in your direct experience and see if you really have to do anything and if this anxiety is justified or mind chatter.

Your frustration shows that you may be doing this from the wrong reasons, you need to be someone who is helping/saving people and thus you also need them to need you. When you help someone from the position of the helper (and superior), this causes all sorts of devilry. Been there, done that. I would focus on being the example first above all, let your life be your message, as Gandhi said. Secondly, of course, spread your message to whomever is interested in hearing it, the believers and the ones who are open to change, not the non-believers. Strive to be effective in spreading your truth, of course, but don't get too attached with the results and, certainly, do not try to convert everyone.

That's a pretty big statement you are making, on what bases do you say that?

I did 3 sessions and really did see something happening, i noticed how my level of awareness increased and saw how i went to a new level due to this. I didn't had any non-dual experiences, nothing really dramatic but it works like a temporary booster and you have to integrate. It can take several sessions to start to experience enlightenment, it depends on where are you at in your journey. I will do it again when i have the money.

Have compassion, could easily be you but get the fuck out and don't look back.

Recently i am going deep into self-inquiry, even did a 3 days retreat using only my direct experience, dropping all knowledge, ideas, beliefs, concepts etc, i have made some progress but this is bugging me. Usually, it is said that we are not our thoughts because we can perceive them (or anything else) but i cannot grasp this on my direct experience and never saw any explanation for this, only this dogma vibe this seems to be a basic premise of self-inquiry. I mean, why couldn't i see myself? I am not even doubting this statement, it is just not my experience, how can i grasp this?

@Nahm Holy shit, this is beautiful!

Yeah, they are notoriously dogmatic about vipassana meditation, i was advised to conceal my psychedelic experiences from them when applying, just straight out lie to them. They surely have some spiral dynamics blue in them.

@herghly 1h is a good place to be in.

I recently became a Hatha Yoga Teacher, i started with my path on Hatha Yoga recently but i think i progressed a lot in a short amount of time and as far as i know, the best form to learn is: 1. To take an intense Hatha Yoga Course, you will learn a lot more than if you take a simple class, they will direct you with the basics, and you will go from there. 2. Take personal classes. It is important because in a group, usually, the teacher will lower the standard of the class due if one student is having trouble following the class. Most people are not serious or trying to get enlightened, the teacher does not give all they got into the class. One-on-One is different, you can say that you want to take it seriously, ask for guidance and for them to take you far from your comfort zone. 3. Take classes, it is great to practice with others and a teacher in person. 4. Take online classes, not the BEST way but you can find good classes on YouTube. 5. Read from books. This is the last one not because it is useless, in fact you have to study books all the time but if you are trying to start from them you can easily feel overwhelmed and unmotivated, it is easy to make stupid mistakes and not know about it. And last but not least: Practice, practice, practice. You will only really learn by doing it, observe your body, and you will get insights about the practice that will take it to the next level, and the next, and the next etc.

This a subject that i have been studying and experimenting with for a while and here are my conclusions: 1. Hatha Yoga is great. Breath deeply, feel the stretch, let go. 2. Challenging yourself, trying new things, going out of your comfort zone. Chakras affect our behavior and our behavior affect them in the same way. 3. Raw living foods, fruits, fasting. Lots of energetic blocks are correlated with toxins, mucus, old fecal matter the body is stuck with affecting the chakra of the correspondent area and vice versa. It is common, for instance, to have diarrhea after some energy work/therapy, this means the body is expelling toxins and it was holding due to energy blocks on the spot.

Fuck yeah, infinite love, baby :)))

On Youtube you can find some videos about intrusive thoughts, it is not necessarily something to worry about, could be just some deep-rooted fear repressed, ultimately they are just thoughts, reflecting some inner neurosis. "My fear of being X is so big that i repress the shit out of it, stuff it way down my mind and it occasionally bubbles up to the surface for some reason." I just try to not resist them coming up, just ignore like it was nothing. Just my experience with it using the tools i learned with spiritual practices. I have a history of being sexually abused as a child by older boys, so, this could be it.
