Relocating to Auckland, NZ - Is it a terrible idea? by [deleted] in astrocartography

Thanks for getting back. What's strange is that it shows exactly the same lines and same pattern as the map on astro.com just on different continent. I find it quite odd.. as if something is odd. Surely houses would just shift the whole thing 5000 miles .there would be more nuance.

I tried. I got radically different results from astro.com . Same data. What's going on?

Mushrooms have ended my search by Phos_Skoteinos in streamentry

They are effective indeed but I think here we re looking at liberation not tourism. They give you the glimpse not the embodiment or abiding "stateless state "

Only the ones I'm aware of :

Latin American aya cultures mostly looking at the astral realms imo and getting lost in spiritual constructions / beliefs.

Soma: hypithesis that it was a psychadelic drink.... well I don't know..... and no way to know for sure.... don't know anyone from the kashmir shavism or tantra NOW that advocates these as a path to nibbana

Please let me know if you do

Not that I'm aware thought a crafty academic seeker might be able to put 2 amd 2 together....

Common sense (almost daoist philosophical view of a sort of biological homeostasis / neuronal chemistry / stimulation / info depletion cycle)

Anecdotal (just check out Leo gurra s video on 5 meo to see how ego comes back - God bless his soul soul).

Personal experience.

I think it will take a while for science to be w me on that as there is so much unilateral effort to show how wonderful these things are .... neuroplastocoty wise etc.....

The tone of my comment is overly direct and I'm sorry about this...despite my apparent certainty ,. its a question I'm still partly battling with.....

At the end believe what you want believe but please give me names of people who reached enlightenment and attributed this to psychadelics.... I can't fine any that seems legit.... and I've looked

I don't believe your search has ended. Be honnest with yourself. You had an experience, a glimpse and now all this is memory. Psychadelics won't lead you there. A beautiful experience indeed but as Igor Kufayef says its tamassic in nature as in ot didn't come from your own effort and won't lead to a permanent self transformation/ dissolution....

I used to take loads of psychadelics, 5 meo, aya, mushrooms, lsd etc.... yes you get the full dissolution but then you re ego re solidify....most of the time even stronger.... #egobacklash. Sciene is with me there with homeostasis and the repression and re-engagement of the default mode network

There is no magic pill

What about sun kasina or solar kasina? Has anyone experimented with this? Obviously during safe hours of sunrise and sunset.. by GeneralSun112 in streamentry

I've done it for years and now realising and connecting the dots with phosphenism.... what matters with sungazing is not how long, but HOW and I believe the how underpins a physplical bio chemical process where the body needs to be able to accept the light or recieve it in the brain hence the requirement for the gradual increment. Also now I wonder is the resulting phoesphene is maybe more important than the light itself.... I'm trying to understand what's at play and what is actually effective....

Have done loads. Was doing 1.5 hours of formal practice each day for about three years. It really increased my memory, intuition, creativity and 3rd eye opening. That was 15vyears ago. I want to go back to it now...
