I have sat through 3 10-day Vipassana retreats. I would not recommend modafinil (I have, and I take modafinil on normal work days). As it was said, it seems like the wrong tool. Also, unnecessary, since you will feel energetic through the 3-10 days. Especially for old students who have only two meals and spend most of their time fasting. Do it sober. Prepare with a 3-day detox from digital screens, music, and coffee (I had mad headaches the first 3 days because I didn't detox before). I have tried contemplating during the retreat, i have found this very tricky since the mind uses this to give the thought compulsion an excuse. I would try to be present, silent-minded, and maybe focus on the "I-AM" sense as Nisargadatta Maharaj suggests. Thought can derail the experience of the retreat, especially at times you aren't on the cushion.

I feel the same. I hate it when people steal the voices of dead people to narrate an AI-generated text to farm views.

Napoleon Hill and Clement Stone just copied others before them, gave zero credit, and said they originated those ideas. Research the "New Thought" movement; it started in the 1800s, and it was the birth of the self-help movement. Hard to say the first one but i would guess it was Emerson, he wrote Self-Reliance in 1841. William Walker Atkinson was one of the first ones; he even wrote many books based on Yoga techniques (like from Raja Yoga), and he even talked about Enlightenment.

I can teach you to make money by working on your life purpose and serving people with your gifts, or scamming people and stealing their money, vastly different levels of consciousness.

Saint = Love = Heart Sage = Wisdom = Mind

I followed him closely for many years. He used to be Red/Orange. Nowadays, he is mostly orange, which is an improvement. He is performative green; he pretends to be green; he pretends to be what orange thinks is healthy green. It is like corporate orange disguising itself as green to make more money. Anyone who is truly at green/yellow would be disgusted with RSD, his peers, pickup, his industry, and would leave to do his own thing, even if it means earning less money. He is maxing out money/status/fame, so he is Orange.

WTF did i just see? This is horrible!

Yogis did it before it was cool.

Nah, he has to go through green first.

But what do you do exactly during trips nowadays?

I thought you practiced self-inquiry/contemplation and meditation during your trips. Why then does it work so well for you and not for any hippie who smokes DMT? Could it be your genetics too?

The biggest mindfuck was ayahuasca and DMT (smoked).

Bro, we are not in space; we have gravity, and we use our bodies daily to perform various tasks, even if we are sedentary, which isn't recommended.

In my experience, what you eat is more important. I was always very active, gym, sports, martial arts, yoga, I am even a Vinyasa Yoga Teacher, but my health kept declining until i ate the right foods.

Also, he complains that people still don't get "what is" with psychedelics, but he does this by talking about chemical processes in the brain, which isn't "what is"; chemical processes are just an explanation, categorizations, and mental chatter.

In a way, he isn't wrong; 99% of psychedelic users don't seem to raise consciousness after the effect wears off. If you only needed to take psychedelics to raise consciousness, we would have 1000x more enlightened people walking around, mostly in raves. There is a quote i saw once that said that "psychedelics don't work on stupid people". You have to have a mind for it, you have to be ready, and the right conditions to get what is happening. Something like that happened to me: Before i knew what psychedelics were, i started to meditate seriously, read lots of books about meditation (from a stage orange perspective, only expecting it to improve my focus and productivity). It prepared me for the psychedelic experience. I had many insights and was hooked from that point on. Before that, I used to smoke weed regularly, only recreationally, for fun, for pleasure, not noticing anything deep. However, I had many deep trips where i was high out of my mind. After i started with the true psychedelics (LSD, Shrooms and Ayahuasca, mostly), everything changed, even my weed trips became so intense and spiritual it stopped being fun lol. Also, I know plenty of low-consciousness people (stage blue) who drink ayahuasca every week, and are very conservative and close-minded (even homophobic).

Not everyone can live in nature; most people have to make the best of the situation they are in. Diet and exercise are like the 80/20 of our health. In some places, people can't even get a decent dose of sunlight lol And, in my experience, even if you have the perfect lifestyle, in nature and all of that, but you eat the wrong foods for you, it will derail all your health. Ps: i lived both in big cities and in nature, diet is king.

ahahahahahahahaahaha

The body can produce glucose from protein and from fat. Go to any carnivore diet video on YouTube (or any carnivore diet group on Reddit or Facebook) and read the comments, you will find thousands of incredible reports, from mild improvements to reversing diabetes, curing arthritis, life-long chronic pain, chronic depression, anxiety, brain fog, MANY are ex-vegans (like myself) who were in horrible health condition following vegan diets and started thriving on the carnivore diet. Is it for everyone? I don't think so, but you can't deny thousands of reports. Personally, I find the best diet for me to be a combination of the carnivore diet and fruits, along with some avocado. Especially considering long-term dieting (years and decades), i can't imagine eating only meat for the rest of my life being a complete diet, nor i think humans are 100% carnivores, this is silly. Although there are many reports of people following a strict carnivore diet for years and feeling great. We can eat basically anything and survive mostly fine, but thriving is another thing. Genetics plays a big role.

Bro, with all due respect, what do you know about their situation or many others? As far as we know, they had a miserable life full of health issues and presumably, they did try everything they could and the carnivore diet was the best thing they ever tried for their issues, they have no reason to lie about it. I myself had many weird health issues all my life, tried every diet possible, was vegan for one and a half years, frugivorous, did juice fasts, raw foods, all of that and my health only got worse until i let go of this close-mindedness of "vegan diet is the best", eat meat again, tried carnivore and never felt better in my life. What would you do if all the scientists and all the studies in the world told you that a vegan diet is the best, but you feel horrible on it, and when you try only meat, you feel fantastic? Particularly, fuck everyone, i will go with my direct experience. Drop your dogmas.

Can you hallucinate me with more money, please?

They both had many health problems way before the carnivore diet. The diet, in fact, was the only thing that helped them.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DP9oNwVAUMf/?img_index=1 My guy is openly protesting against Trump and ICE on his Instagram page. I remember him making reasonable posts during the pandemic, pro-masks, pro-social distancing, pro-vaccines etc, and getting a lot of hate in the comments. He has been vocal against Trump, calling him a narcissist, tyrannical, demagogue etc. The best part to me is that his public is mostly right-wing guys who think they are smarter and tougher than they really are. The menosphere loves stoicism. This is rare nowadays; he didn't sell his values to please his right-wing audience. Here is a video of him talking about narcissistic leaders (like Trump): We need more people like Ryan.

Nice, better to keep your integrity and stay out of the mess. Low consciousness behavior, nothing good comes from it.

Vegan diet fucked up my health, i feel better on a low-carb diet, mostly keto with some fruits. No matter how ethical veganism is, I will never sacrifice my health for the cause, and I feel nobody should. Veganism isn't as healthy as the propaganda makes it seem, so not everyone will feel good on it. I do know a guy that seem to feels fine on a vegetarian diet (eats eggs and milk) but he is geneticaly blessed, which i am not.
