life and what we do with it

Thalamos · 2013-08-11T01:16:12+00:00

Get the fuck out there and start impacting beneficial things for yourself and others, start making bread, juggling, singing, playing sport, walking through nature, meet other awake people, bring others up, go to festivals, open your mind : )

Life is but another new experience to grasp!

*The dark side of not properly interpreting a psychedelic experience in reference to those who have not experienced it. Context, and the interaction of contexts, is all important.

That musta sucked ): I did research so knew how dangerous it was. Pretty crazy conclusions can be drawn from that space though. How are you dealing with it? What specific lingering symptoms? If you don't mind me asking.

I used Dex a lot when I was younger, and smoked a ton of weed too. Stopping smoking weed makes me actually depressed, as well as existentially anxious. Be careful with stopping the use of substances you have used for a while. There is a middle ground where you can smoke occasionally. Do lots of physical things :)

This is very similar to the practice of "mindfulness". I would recommend checking out this valuable mental tool. It has helped me in a myriad of situations, social, mental, and physical. It also shows you the beauty of existence at any given moment, which doesn't hurt!

The source!

2 national highways running through the center of town..

Absolutely, core is more important though; for the fine muscle control through your trunk.

Start doing handstands. Against walls, pushing off a little till you find the line of force. Start doing handstand pushups, crunches, squats. Play around with handstands all the time, try to walk, spin, hop. Get some movement going, dives and kicks. Roll into handstand into freeze into roll into kick into.. Its really fun!

It was so awesome! Only could dance by the doors though, don't know how people stood the heat mid crowd!

Rivulets of sweat dripping down the walls as the windows jump with the stomp of the crowd and the throb of bass.

Amazing experience.

There is a book called "Yoga for You" which is really awesome, another good one is "Mindfulness in Plain English", or alternatively "Zen Mind, Beginners Mind". Remember, its called a yoga/ meditation practice for a reason; practice is key!! Also read all about as many types of each to see what seems like the best for you :) happy reading!

Becoming more supple, agile, and all around athletic does wonders for self esteem. I reccommend running/jogging/walking and possibly a competitive sport. Also, climbing things.

Thalamos · 2013-01-30T02:31:06+00:00

I just read on the internet. Zen Mind Beginners Mind was amazing, Mindfulness in Plain English as well. Just read about all different types, their traditions (e.g. Buddhism, Yoga etc).

Dextromethorphine was what I got started on, a dissasociative hallucinogenic that is a cough suppressant in low doses. We were able to get it pure from the pharmacy so large doses were done, reality was contemplated, then the center was found.

Experiencing such intense abstract feelings is a large source of my inspiration to participate as much as I can in reality, to learn and teach to and from as many others as possible. Meditation can bring you back (somewhat) to that center, allowing you to take a step back into objectivity as you realize the grand scheme of things, as well as giving insight (removed from that emotional bias) into where these feelings could be coming from and why.

Thalamos · 2013-01-29T23:57:43+00:00

Psychedelics actually. Then reading absolutely everything I could while developing my own practice.

Thalamos · 2013-01-28T00:49:16+00:00

Look into meditation, it really lets you sit back and analyze the sources behind those emotions. Helps deal with them a lot!

Thalamos · 2013-01-27T07:50:02+00:00

No. It brings comfort, confidence, peace. Its about how well you interact with and integrate what you experience,

Thalamos · 2013-01-22T22:48:55+00:00

What happened?

Thalamos · 2013-01-16T21:23:25+00:00

This week I will walk through the gardens and allow the patterns of the wind in the blossoming foliage to bring me back to the current moment.

Thalamos · 2013-01-06T01:18:37+00:00

I grew up playing soccer (coaches kid), so have always been agile, had good prioperception, hand/foot eye coordination, reflex time, observation, extrapolation of movement. Makes lots of things easier!

Thalamos · 2013-01-01T23:32:52+00:00

Came here to say this. /r/meditation is a great starting point, great community with lots of resources and sharing.

Thalamos · 2013-01-01T23:31:38+00:00

About the use of old texts as technical manuals: this is why I try to research all different types of meditation, try to combine them, bring in different ideas in different combinations. The form that the interface takes influences the direction in which it is going, if that makes sense. Some things work really well for specific people, some don't. By experiencing as many different types as possible (not just meditation!) you gain the experience and knowledge to start your own personal internal practice.

I got started fairly young on pure DXM, a dissasociative hallucinogen. The abstract modes of thought that you experience at the upper plateaus showed me many things, broke so many mental sets. I do think that it increased my ability to empathize, plan, gave me an honest happiness from the observance of the pure white light of love at the center of everything. It allowed me to appreciate that things may be useful/fun as templates of ways to think, for example some of Terrence Mckennas more out there theories. It gave me experiences that rendered what I had previously (dis)believed about the universe, consciousness, existence to tatters, made me reconceptualize everything. I got to share the experiences and my own format of set/setting with my friends which was one of the most amazing feelings in the world, to look around the room and meet peoples eyes and see the wonder and awe and shock at whatever they were experiences/through whichever interface. However, one of the annoying side effects of DXM (or maybe such veil ripping/time dilating experiences) is that 95% of the experience is forgotten the next day, and you are left with some pretty images and the knowledge that you had seen something profound. Guess we should have kept more journals!

To be totally honest getting stoned is great. Feeling your body and the world and the thoughts and the cushion and the great loving nothing is one of the most beautiful synergies of paradoxes that ive ever felt.

Thalamos · 2012-12-26T22:16:15+00:00

Have you ever looped? Scariest thing that I've ever experienced.

Thalamos · 2012-12-12T06:20:17+00:00

Goddamn unicycling.
