Profundity of experience

[Javfly33]

what you think are main things or habits to do to make your life incredibly profound?

Psychedelics check. But apart from that? 

I´m talking about that kind of profoundness of experience of going to nature for some days in a row, listening to African antique music, sitting on the soil while acid comings up, everything feels alive, there is this subtle feeling that every grasshopper is a God on its own, there is a deep awe and respect for everything, you just feel blessed for breathing, everything feels mystical and sacred, wherever you look.

How to make LIFE this? Withouth needing to pop acid each day of course...

(Right now kids nowadays...they are completely disconnected from this. Scrolling tin Tok machines while ordering McFlurrys at McDonalds each Friday night before going to take alcohol and weed and get wasted...that´s their definition of 'intensity' lol)

It's all about intensifying your awareness or consciousness.

How do you do this? By purifying yourself from all forms of toxicity.

Here are a few things I did to accomplish it.

Quitting alcohol and cigarette

I used to drink and get wasted almost every night for many years. I also used to smoke 1 pack of cigarettes per day. 

In the past 6 years, I've been more mindful of my diet. I ensure I eat a variety of veggies and fruits regularly.

Eliminating toxic humans

I learned to generate self-respect and establish boundaries. I eliminated family members, coworkers, friends, and everybody who dumped their metaphorical garbage on me.

The ones who stayed are my real friends and the ones who are my "cheerleaders".

Mindfulness meditation

I read "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle more than 10 years ago. I implemented one form of meditation recommended in the book:

I used to direct my attention to the pressure on my feet when I walked.

I also spent significant solitary time in nature. I would sit there and stare at the trees for a few hours straight. I focused on the shapes and colors of the leaves and branches. I was mesmerized by the design, knowing that every twist and curve is an expression of God's art.

I only listened to beautiful music.

I was very picky about the music I played. I couldn't stand listening to music with low intelligence or an ominous melody.

I could only listen to the best songs artists around the world could ever produce. I enjoyed all genres, including rock and metal. But such songs need to be harmonic or melodic.    

This is still true now.

I rectified my internal destruction. 

I had one of the worst fathers God has ever created; hence I was completely internally destroyed. I had extreme anxiety (OCD, BDD, GAD, agoraphobia, etc., and suicidal depression. There were months I could not get out of my room because of the intensity of the mental-emotional tortures.

I devoted my entire 20s to self-therapy and self-healing. Such internal work involved much introspection, contemplation, journaling, research, and self-honesty.

I also faced my greatest insecurities and fears.  

My advice is to BYPASS spiritual bypassing. 

Solitary walks in nature

What I shared in my post, "Romance with Existence at Night," is just one of the hundreds of my solitary walks. I've been doing it on and off for 6 years in Japan and my home country. 

 

I have probably done other things, but I can't remember them now, especially because I'm sleepy while writing this. It's 4 am where I am.  

Anyway, after doing the things I mentioned for many years, everything has changed. The cuisines, girls, trees, dogs, stones, snow, hills, walking paths, etc., became more delicious, brighter, crispier, and full of mystery, sacredness, and power. The world didn't change. What actually changed was my awareness or consciousness.

@jimwell ???? Real work there, thanks for sharing. I will note some of that advice to put into practice, specially the one about distancing oneself from toxic people, and rectifying my internal destruction

My pleasure. 

That's good. It all starts with a will to do it. Things will be challenging along the way, but you must continue walking on that path.

It's also important to generate love inside you. The love is too great; it overflows. That enables you to have a romance with existence. The good thing is it also applies to girls. Girls will notice and feel that love; they can't help but fall in love.

I recently realized that having respect for truth and goodness makes you pure. Yes, life will be more difficult because integrity must be sustained. It's challenging, especially in the first few years when you're still learning to implement it. But there's a great reward - purity. That purity is where deep joy and peace sprouts from. That's also how God reveals its mystery, sacredness, and power. 

That sounds a lot because it is. But you can take it slow and give yourself 10 years to accomplish it significantly. But you'll probably start to feel the result in the 5th year. Is it worth it? Yes, of course. It's the purpose of your human existence. It's spirituality in action.

The first and most important thing is to realize that only what is real, what is true, has value. the rest is garbage. Eliminate all the garbage from your life and from your mind, without mercy. Try little by little to equalize yourself with the external, to flow in a harmonious way. your mind should be a deep well, not a rough surface. nothing superficial and false is going to give you anything, listen to yourself, look at your sensations, discard everything that is dissonant, toxic. try to get closer to the real thing. the more you do it, the easier it is.
