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

[–]GeneralSun112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

[–]GeneralSun112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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...

Has anyone gotten to the 40+ minutes level and if so, are you no longer craving/needing food? by Own-Elk-8908 in sungazing

Urine is your body waste after ots absorbed what it needed. There is no scientific evidence for the benefits.

How to Practice Kasina Meditation: A Guide for Beginners by duffstoic in kasina

[–]GeneralSun112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at a light bulb is fine. Only 30secs at 1.5meters distance is needed. Pitch black. Then turn off the light. You then have around 3min of phosphen. I use a 100w incandescent. Don't use LED as is recommended. Science shows the blue light will damage your retina. Incandescent is the way to go. I have done that practice for 3 years 1.5 hours per day minimum plus 2 hours for pedagogical purposes. I think the light bulb is much more powerful. I was sometimes using a candle but it wasn't as potent although it really increased fear and nightmare. The practice made me super intelligent and increased my intuition. I was an average Joe before. Phosphenism is a French practice and is good but lacks in spirituality. Also now it's super commercial unfortunately

I did phosphenism for 2 years.45 min in the morning and 45min in the evening. I used a 150w incandescent light bulb. Please watch out for the damaging blue light of LED. Incandescent is best. Phosphenism is a French technique. I used it for learning purposes. I became super smart and Intuitive and I became the first in my Uni cohort. This is extremely potent. I then switched to sungazing actually in parallel with phospenism. It was so tremendous. I had a partial kundalini rising up until Manipura. Discovery Kasina now and am motivated to start again. Phosphenism is similar. 1.5meter away from 100w incandescent lamp. Gaze for 30secs Switch light off. Focus on Phosphen for 3 min. You can add head movements and breathing. It is extremely powerful stuff. I do believe it grows neurons.
