@Hellspeed any links?

I was meditating on weed and had an experience where I was able to move my awareness around my body like a focal point. I remember Leo mentioning this phenomenon in one of his videos. Then all of a sudden strong imagery had me seeing and opening at the tip of my knob. Sorry, the tip of my foreskin I mean forehead. So I began focusiing this point of awareness there and immediately felt there was an opportunity for my awareness flow out of my forehead, like a stream. The fear and anxiety if not knowing what awaited me the other side had me not ready to do this. My head was buzzing, like electricity. I thought if I followed the stream out of my forhead some entity could possibly cling onto me for life or something like that. Should I just go with it next time? What the fuck is this?

Leo. I have suffered from facial tics, movements/jerks from as young as 4. From blinking to head nodding to having to rotate between 5 different sorts. Can you help me understand this? @Leo Gura

@Mezanti I think he's trying to say the desire to achieve such a result comes from ego. The fact you want something. Yeah I know, welcome to the club.

Thank you

Can someone post an empty backdrop? Or leo disappearing like in infinity wars?

They call it the shadow of knowledge for a reason.

Broooo Radical man.

You get to a certain age and you're told they don't exist. You move on. It almost feels like it was put in place to prepare people for the ultimate "doesn't exist" scenario. There any truth to this?

There are many similarities, but just like Leo's new vid sameness vs difference it can go both ways I guess. I just like to explore these similarities as i find it an interesting connection.

Maybe prepping is the wrong terminology or too strong an assertion to make, adventurous though. Just see some common ground where you are led to believe a lie that everyone tells you is true. Then all of a sudden at some stage you are told it us all a lie. It some how feels like it is somehow connected in that it's prep work and it's conditioning ppl to desensitise our attachment to pre disposed beliefs and that we are forced to let that shit go. You ever see a grown ass man saying shit like "we were lied to bro" . It's a thing of the past. But you believed it hook line and sinker.

Nice to hear i'm not alone I had some further thoughts last night with regards to this. As i began to remember more and more dreams, some bad some pure excitement and happiness and joy. I began to remember all the different locations in my dreams and the assorted meaning or story that takes place in each one. I then began to notice which might come as obvious to many that these dreams were a direct reflection of my waking life. Say for example, a still lake reflecting the clouds above. What if someone asked wether the reflection of the clouds on the lake were not real? This is how i felt about the dream world. So the distinction between waking and dream like became blurry. As i saw the two like the organism of a tree, where one is above gound and another is below. The two only seem separate but really are one. I was able to filter out all the nonsense and focus on the emotional status of each dream. In other words how each dream made me feel, and how it related to my waking life. I noticed that in both my waking life and the dream world, each world drew from the same emotions. In other words the emotions that dictated my life were also the same emotions that compelled my dreams. Crazy stuff. I get so high off the implications. I also came to see that just like my mind is just running simulations and worlds when i'm asleep, there are real similarities in how i project my perspective and outlook in waking life. Which really gets the juices flowing. Coupled with your senses being a relationship between a set of frequencies, and the instrument you possess to interpret these frequencies there is no "outside" world. Man shit is getting crazier and crazier. It's like the senses that you are privy to are a wall that you cannot see past or behind. You cannot see beyond the senses. In a sense, it blinds you.

It starts by being chased. There are many different variations of this claustrophobic feeling. Many times i find myself chasing the pursuer. This is where the belief " you have to dive into your fears" has sunk a little into the subconcious and influenced my decision when i was not lucid. Which raises some questions but i digress. Most of the time it starts with me being chased and then as the story develops i begin chasing aggressively, out of fear. As i begin chasing the pursuer we eventually find ourselves running into pitch black darkness. As soon as we enter the darkness it's as if the evil i was pursuing becomes one with the darkness and envelops me completely. The feeling like you're diving into water, but darkness. Surrounded. So this one person or entity i was chasing. All of a sudden became everything and it was there all around me. I knew it was there, looking but no where to be found but who's presence was all around me. The dream will either reset and i'll assume various positions in the dream and in various points in it's progression of the tour. And just play them out until it's done. It's a recurring dream.

Picture you are in a box, and with every passing moment you are jumping out of that box, and you're doing it backwards. Now the only way you can see the box in front of you is by having been in it. what the fuck.

It remains a mystery to me how you are not a regular on the JRE podcast. Would love to see one with yourself, Joe and the great man Duncan Trussel.

Alan Watts-The wisdom of insecurity

very revealing, thanks for that.

I think it's a religious type of thing. When i was a teenager i knew many adults who had a troubled past and i'm sure you do too who "found the lord our saviour jesus christ" and became loving beings. Totally changed people, always nice and just grateful for everything. I think this is a similar dynamic just with a different perspective applied to it. People get sick of resentment and look for change, in loving embrace.

Your weakness if spelling, especially troubling that you got an edit under your post. Jokes. A good weakness test is look at all the shit that bothers you and look for it inside you.

I would assume you don't agree with the book "king, warrior, poet, magician" ? Speaking of how different archetype operate within us all and it made the point to adress that in feminism there is a channeling of the warrior archetype that focuses on predominantly ending masculine aggressiveness completely. Both sides of the coin are channeling the same archetype. My point was more seeing an underlying connection in how people operate.

A lot of women use masculine energy of the warrior to surpress masculinity.

I certainly have not read any books and this is just a pure observation but it appears to me that many women use feminism as an excuse to be antagonistic and chauvinistic towards men. Just like Jordan Peterson says that some hide behind the virtue of being a feminist in order to be able to openly exert their anger and resentment that is built within them. I do not believe these people represent what feminism actually is, but i do believe there other people who use these virtuous groups for more destructive reasons than beneficial and that we are seeing more of this now. It is quite funny when you look at the situation. Becuase both sides are accusing each other of projection. SJW's will accuse any white man who offers a counter argument as just trying to defend their positions in the patriarchy because their power is diminishing. And People like Peterson say that this is a typical psychological phenomenon "victim blaming mentality" meaning the very people who have been abused, as a means of feeling in control use the very same methods that they were victim to on others. So they are in effect echo chambers I believe any sort of understanding has to be met in the cause of why people feel like this. It really is funny, that gays trans etc were victims of shaming and heavily condemned in the past and that now they exhbit behaviour that actively seeks to shame and condemn other people.

Do some concepts work like mantra's? and would they have the same effect? I also hear a lot of people saying that thoughts and words are something that need to be completely dis identified with. Personally I find these types of insights helpful in enhancing a new perspective that looks at things outside the usual boundary identifying lens that is typically used to make sense of the rorshark blotch that we call life. Then i hear the great Allan Watts say that this is like attempting to make the "tail wag the dog" If that is the case then what is the point of mantra's? I'm a little hesitant as i am always told to let go and jump. However the slightest bit of silence and my mind all of a sudden starts formulating these cool new ideas (for me) that i other wise wouldn't have seen. My question is is this the right path? Or is insight the distraction? Some like Teal Swan would say let it distract you to the point you find out what it really represents, then let go of that thing. Are there any different techniques?

So it has nothing to do with the words meaning? Kind of like a physical trigger?
