Spiral Dynamics is a good conversation starter

A month ago, I took 1.5g of psilocybin and as soon as I started to see some light visuals, I freaked out. To say that I have a strong resistance to not being in control would be a euphemism. It sucks because I would really love to heal the fear that lives inside me. When I was 20, I developed an arrhythmia problem that led me to take a dozen trips to the hospital with a pulse hovering around 250. Each time I was in the ambulance, I felt incredibly powerless and terrified. From my perspective, I was always a coin flip away from death. Today, I’m 32 and in perfect physical health but whenever I take a drug that alter my physiology or state of consciousness, I become panicky. It’s incredibly hard to stay with the fear when it arises. What should I do?

Short bit of my show called ''La bonne job'' (I'm from Québec) where I try to help teenagers/young adults find their lifepurpose. In this particular bit, I tell the audience how I wanted to be a pope when I was 8 and how I almost got beat up for preaching in the schoolyard. The goal of the presentation is to make them think about their unique gifts, passions and values.

“I had put in all the hours necessary for the degree; all I had to do was write that goddamn thesis. They wouldn’t let me move into another place to continue my education, so I said to hell with it. I went up to into the woods and spent five years reading. I never got the Ph.D. I learned to live on absolutely nothing. I was free and had no responsibilities. It was marvelous. It takes courage to do what you want. Other people have a lot of plans for you. Nobody wants you to do what you want to do. They want you to go on their trip, but you can do what you want. I did. I went into the woods and read for five years.” -Joseph Campbell

How often do you reshoot videos these days?

I don't know about dreams, but my life purpose manifested itself to me in a vision. That experience lead me to make complete 180 turn. Where did that vision came from? No clue, but I trusted it.

Since you’re specifically asking about the afterlife, souls have apparently a life review after each incarnation. But instead of being judged by God, souls get to experience how they made everybody they met feel. So, if you mostly caused pain in others, it’s going to be hell. Obviously, I have no idea if it’s true or not but I hope that’s how it works. I took that from the book Journey of Souls: a case studies of life between lives. A pretty entertaining and inspiring read.

I completely agree.

@zoey101 Very nice post! @Nadosa Watch this!

While I can do nothing for an hour pretty easily, this is unchartered territory and I really wonder how I'd do. A good friend of mine had a complete meltdown on the 3rd day of his first vipassana retreat. But on the 9th day, he had a mystic experience that changed him profoundly. I guess we need to allow ourselves to go nuts if we want to truly be sane.

A powerful critique of orange!

@Leo Gura I'm sorry but Actualized.org is some boring ass shit compared to that. Jerry Jerry Jerry!!!

By constantly raising our level of awareness, our base level of happiness has to go up too. It's always our unconsciousness that makes us miserable. That said, you can be a miserable green, a suicidal orange and a quite happy blue. The big step occurs when you get to Yellow/Turquoise.

I'm a powerful speaker who help students discover their LP and live an authentic life. I don't speak to their mind, I speak to their soul. On stage, divine intelligence flow through me. Thanks for doing this mate!

That was an amazing read man! My LP was revealed to me 5 years ago in the form of a vision. Up until that point, I had been suffering from severe anxiety and depression for all my adult life. And then, one night, without any warning, I saw an image of what I should be doing in life. As soon as the vision came, a powerful electric shock hit me at the base of my skull. BANG, I KNEW. Two hours later, I walked into a store and bought for 500$ worth of gear for the mission. Three months later, I dropped out of college on a whim. For the first time in my life, I was not asking questions or trying to understand things intellectually, I was simply executing on what felt right and true. It's like something had grabbed me and made me go insane. Five years later, after many trials and almost going bankrupt, the vision has finally been realized. I'm now self-employed, on the path to mastery, giving my gift and starting to make some good money. I know my LP will probably evolve with time, but for the moment, I'm right on it. OP talked about the soul being in charge of our LP and I think he's right. I feel my soul profited from a slight crack in my ego to show ''me'' my LP on that curious night. It's like it said : ''Ok, you've suffered enough already. Let me show you something that will blow your mind and expand your heart.'' Thinking about it today, there were many clues in my childhood and my adolescence that pointed towards my LP. Finally, I feel LP is something that we have to surrender to more than something that we have to find.

The Way of The Superior Man! Here are my two favorite quotes from the book. ''A man must be prepared to give 100% to his purpose, fulfill his karma or dissolve it, and then let go of that specific form of living. He must be capable of not knowing what to do with his life, entering a period of unknowingness and waiting for a vision or a new form of purpose to emerge. These cycles of strong specific action followed by periods of not knowing what the hell is going on are natural for a man who is shedding layers of karma in his relaxation into truth.'' ''It’s easy to feel disappointed by life; success is never as fulfilling as you think it is going to be. But there is a reason for this. Successfully completing a lesser purpose doesn’t feel very good for very long, because it is simply preparation for advancing toward a greater embodiment of your deeper purpose. Each purpose, each mission, is meant to be fully lived to the point where it becomes empty, boring, and useless. Then it should be discarded. This is a sign of growth, but you may mistake it for a sign of failure.''

One of my best decision in life has been to drop out of college and start my own business. It was a bold call but I had a strong vision (unlike you at the moment). Do your homeworks, complete the LP course, be patient and listen to your intuition. Eventually, the decision will impose itself.

You're back in the ordinary world and the status quo doesn't seem to bring you peace.

@sgn Yeah man, the ''dream job'' that isn't one. You're not a cog in the machine but you're not free either. Wishing you the best!!
