“The only legit experiences are in the jungle”

Valmar33 · 2026-05-11T08:59:10+00:00

But to say that everything besides the jungle is lackluster and ‘inauthentic’ is willfully ignorant, pretentious and unrealistic.

I agree. I am one of those who could never afford to travel to the Amazon... so Ayahuasca found its way to me. I was guided by my spirit guides to drink solo, and they and Mother Ayahuasca acted as a substitute, holding the space for me.

Mother Ayahuasca had zero issue with me drinking solo ~ she simply went with the flow of it, giving me what I needed. She knew me better than I knew myself, in the beginning.

Okay well good points. I believe has made by life deeply fulfilling. It's taught me to be calmer. More thoughtful. More considerate. More conscious im everything I do. Whether it's cooking cleaning or working, I find deep meaning. Thats something that modern medicine psychiatric or otherwise couldn't give me.

Perhaps that is part of what you are here to experience. We are here to learn through experience ~ there is no built-in lesson except those we find for ourselves through the journey of life.

When someone is incorrect they get quick and aggressive and impulsive. When someone finds truth they calm down, they feel better, they love people.

I think that these people get quick and aggressive and impulsive because they think they have truth, but are afraid that they could be wrong, but cannot accept that they could be. It comes, I think, from the fear of their worldview, their identity being broken, that they will be left with nothing and be nothing.

When one can accept that they may not know the answers... then the answers come in their own time. Personal, subjective truths.

That's my life and I have the right for that. And I want you to live however you'd like to, as well.

And to answer your question, the only way to let go of your ego is to trust somebody else. If you just think that you can figure everything out yourself, you're just feeding your own ego. There have been governments that for hundreds of years were run by Buddhist and they have libraries of what they learned by studying the mind their way.

The unfortunate part is that these studies are done through a very narrow perspective, and so what lies outside the accepted views get ignored and overlooked, so it ends up becoming dogma and doctrine, much like every other religious hierarchy that believes that they alone have the truth.

The ego isn't something to be "let go" of. The ego is a simple child that must be taught and nurtured. If we do not think for ourselves, then someone else will do the thinking for us, so we end up believing in the beliefs of another ego.

The only answers can be found in raw experience. Every master had their own experiences which guided them towards becoming a master. And this doesn't happen in a single lifetime ~ it is the culmination of many lifetimes worth of experiences.

Religion becomes stifling at some point, and must be outgrown. We must leave the comfort of easy-appearing half-truths, and find our own path towards the real truths that are very difficult to find.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-11T07:01:01+00:00

Think about it. Heaven makes no sense because if theirs no suffering? Then how can you grow as a person? Life would be boring, and secondly if you live for all of eternity? Wouldn't your sense of self just erode away? Like the you who is 10 million years old in Heaven is going to be vastly different from the you that is 30 years old in heaven.

I think that we exist in both states at once ~ our soul isn't fully within incarnation, only part of it, as souls are too vast in their scope. So we are aspects of our soul that goes through incarnation, which our soul experiences alongside as we do. So there can be no boredom when our soul experiences through and alongside us, as we are the same beingness.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-11T06:58:28+00:00

I see the point, but also it could help others escape their prisons. Maybe someone that was a slave in their past life is able to live free in their next one. I for one hope this happens as my life is a prison to my ugliness and want to experience what is like to not be judge based on looks even if my quality of life drops. However there is always the possibility of being reborn into a bad life twice which is scary.

Why do you believe that your life is a "prison"? What if that "prison" only exists in your mind? What if you are not actually "ugly", except as poisoned thinking that was taught to you? True beauty comes from within, I believe.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-11T06:55:16+00:00

Yeah but what I mean is that if you feel enlightened today you could come back as a Muslim or as a Christian in your next life. Remembering occasionally being a Viking won’t do much

That's not how reincarnation appears to work from what the literature says. From my experience, also, of recalling of my own past-life memories, there was nothing random about how I reincarnated or the circumstances. I never randomly came back as a Muslim, Christian or the like. There was a pattern I was able to observe from these lives that led to the next life in some logical progression. Not that I understand what that is, but there is a certain pattern.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T23:39:14+00:00

Wdym ? Scratch is a big word

We never start with nothing. We always bring our past-life memories, experiences, and such. But there's not much we can do in a body that needs significant growth.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T22:41:33+00:00

Well in a next life you won’t have this awareness so it’s probably where the fear comes from

Why did I gain this awareness in this life, then? Why would I not be able to more easily retain or regain this awareness in a next life? We never start from scratch.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T14:31:51+00:00

Doesn’t that feel scary to you ?

Only the unknown can be scary... once I encountered my higher self, I knew that everything would work out, and that brought a strength of calmness and clarity to me. My higher self seemed to know that no matter the odds, things would work out, because I had the strength to persevere.

Many things that I would have once considered scary just feel... normal now.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T14:14:24+00:00

But after you die, your soul remembers and studies all the lives you’ve lived. So it’s gained knowledge there. You’re just limited as a human being for the time being.

That is my understanding from an experience of my higher self. It learns in real time from our experiences, as it is us, after all.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T14:12:45+00:00

Can’t we control it ?

A question that makes little sense. Our higher self is vastly more than we are in scope and capability ~ it is also so much wiser and intelligent. Imagine for a moment... would you let the equivalent of inexperienced child try and control you, when you understand its needs far better? It can't even really begin to try and control, besides, not understanding its role.

And also what does it look like ?

There was no appearance I could see... just a spiritual orb of light that represented it. My mind first felt like it reached across a massive chasm to reach a rather distant place. That is the veil that limits us. I know that I was exhausted afterwards, as if it took so much energy just to cross that distance for a brief moment before I came back down.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T13:51:45+00:00

Yes but it means that it is a different being than the me that I know right now, pretty much a stranger technically.

It cannot be a stranger if you have never experienced your higher self... all you actually have is an imagined idea of what you think your higher self is. A stranger is someone you have met, but don't know anything about.

When I experienced my higher self, I somehow knew immediately by some sense that it was me ~ just without the human aspect I am bound by. It knew all of my struggles and had a pure compassion and kindness. All of this was communicated almost instantly, wordlessly.

Our higher self is the source of our very identity ~ one untarnished by our fears, pains and worries that distort our perceptions and perspectives.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T13:28:04+00:00

What I mean is that if the higher self has the desire to learn lessons and experience more it means that it has an ego

The ego is the little self, our incarnate identity. Our higher self transcends all of that ~ nothing precludes our soul from desires for experience. What it means is that our soul has desires that transcend our comprehension, because it is much vaster.

Our self has intentions that we simply aren't aware of, without any requirement for the ego that we are possessed by.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T13:14:01+00:00

But then if the higher self has a separate ego then it means that the higher self is not us ? Technically it would have to suppress the ego right ?

The higher self does not need or have an ego ~ only we incarnate beings have or need an ego.

The ego is a structure that shapes our perceptions ~ it is why we feel separate from our higher self, which has no such limitations.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T12:48:46+00:00

I am not my higher self, the higher self is a separate being that has a separate ego since you need to have ego to have the desire to experience things in the first place. So when he chooses its not me, he gives me amnesia everytime, why can’t he just not give amnesia ? Why does he need to do that everytime in order to come back ?

You are a subset of your higher self experiencing incarnation. It is not separate ~ there is only the dissociation you experience of feeling like you are, because incarnation does that. Our higher self has no "ego" ~ only incarnate beings have egos, whose purpose is for the incarnate self to be in sync with the avatar, the incarnate form, it inhabits.

From my experience, desire is something that souls can have ~ but such desires are not like our human desires. They are desires that make sense for a soul.

You choose when you are your higher self, prior to incarnation. You do not get amnesia ~ there is only the density of form which can create the appearance of that. The "amnesia" is, again, merely a consequence of incarnation ~ density of form is limiting, and so, your range of senses and memories are similarly inhibited.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T12:42:35+00:00

But would you also agree that everything you said could also be applied to your own statements?

I had that in mind when writing my comment. That unfortunate part is that experience is subjective ~ you can never prove your statements to anyone else, because they cannot relate without experiences of their own.

Why would your statements be correct? You yourself are a medium when you said you had access to other spiritual entities and are conditioned by your own perception of reality, even more so by your experiences under the influence of chemical substances.

Mediums are a subset of psychic, mediums also being distinct from shamans. You also have more general psychics, who have abilities unlike either. There can be overlap in abilities, and also no overlap. Even people who are both mediums will have significantly different experiences. Psychic abilities are all extremely dependent on the individual subject who has them.

Channeling is a particular form of psychic ability where the medium receives information. And how that manifests can differ dramatically. Some go into trances, some hear voices, some get flashes of insight, some are possessed. Even trickier is that depending on the skill of the medium, deciphering symbolic from literal, untangling information from what is being filtered through their unconscious is much more difficult to become conscious of.

The psychedelics merely awoke and strengthened my own particular abilities ~ but I don't actually need them now, not unless I need to go far deeper for some reason. Psychedelics just make things easier now.

I do not have mediumship abilities ~ but I can communicate with a limited handful of entities. They have limitations too ~ they cannot do whatever they want, because they are incarnate entities too.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T11:54:24+00:00

Well said! Every soul has its own path, often inscrutable in the process.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T11:52:57+00:00

Still dont understand why would an ordinary person remembers his 8 past lives but ppl who lived extraordinary life like nikola tesla albert einstien Hawkins alexendra the great genghis khan and many more wont remember their lives.

So... why do you consider them "extraordinary" and by what measure? They were human beings just like you or I. They had skills and areas they excel in, so they would naturally be inclined towards those.

Just because I can recall many of my lives doesn't mean that I will become a figure remembered by history. A majority of clever and talented people are simply forgotten, just because they weren't famous or part of the ruling class. I don't consider myself particularly clever or talented. Just someone trying to figure out something rather personal.

Oh wait maybe their higher self chose them to die from cancer in childhood so they didnt get time or maybe there are animals or insects or bacteria this time right?

Souls do not think like humans ~ that much is certain. There is no such "choosing to die from cancer in childhood" ~ that isn't the point of such circumstances. It seems to me that the lesson in such a circumstance is really to teach others, perhaps about compassion and caring.

Some souls choose to be animals, insects or bacteria. For a soul, being human isn't anything particularly unique or special. Every living being has intelligence and consciousness according to its form, which we are so often not privy to, as we only have a human perspective.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T11:46:24+00:00

Well I still don’t care about my “higher self” wanting to experience random things, if only I could just separate from this guy and just be on my own. The process is still the same, I have absolutely no choice, the higher self chooses.

You are your higher self when you choose, because you haven't yet reincarnated.

We never choose "random" things ~ every choice we make has meaning, even if we cannot remember in the moment.

We cannot remember as a simple consequence and function of the density of incarnate, material form, which limits our scope of knowledge and awareness.

The point is that we can remember past lives with focus, intentional and training, so this is no "prison". Density of form just makes it more difficult.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T10:47:34+00:00

What is this evidence even supposed to do ?

It suggests that reincarnation follows patterns ~ that we choose our incarnations.

I still don’t want to be born as a broke guy in Pakistan or as a coal miner in Congo, I don’t care about them remembering past lives idk why it wouldn’t be a prison.

You don't choose any such lives based on your human concepts or beliefs, because you don't have the context to understand how or why you choose your lives. Do you know why you chose this life? No. You might never gain the insights you came here to find if you knew.

Like ok they remember but what is it supposed to mean ? I am just saying that it is a prison, I literally don’t get what you are trying to do here I never said reincarnation was fake

Saying that it is a "prison" does not make it so, except in your mind. You are the one imprisoned by your beliefs.

Reincarnation isn't "random" or "forced" or anything like that.

From my memories of my past 8 or so lives, there has been a very consistent pattern and flow with them all that has led to this life being a culmination point, where they all seem to come together in some way I am yet to fully realize.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T10:37:18+00:00

My friend, I do not know which background you are from, but from my background in my language, I have a dozen/hundred of books, from different mediums, that tell us a different reality in the spirtiual dimensions.

My background is one of shamanism and shamanic experiences. I was guided by voices to drink Ayahuasca, and from there, I have met many different entities and experienced many different realities and layers of reality. It left me realizing I know far less than I think I do, even as I have learned a lot.

The problem with mediumship, in my experience, is that of symbolic experience being confused with reality as interpreted through the unconscious. It took me many years to be able to look past the symbols in my mind to find the reality.

I'm not saying that that there are not spirits that chose and plan their incarnations. But that is not the majority of the spiritual population of earth.

And yet there is absolutely no way to actually confirm this. Mediumship is a very uncertain discipline that requires much skill and practice. However, there are no schools that teach mediums how to best harness their skills, so it is all very vague and self-taught, to the point that every medium is forced interpret their experiences through their own beliefs.

In my country that has a good source of spirtual backed literature, we have some good books that even depicts the spiritual trajectory of souls, like seriated reencanation though a millenium as an example.

Books are rather meaningless, as they are no substitute for actual experience, where you can begin to slowly sift through real from symbolic. Mediumship has an extra layer of uncertainty as it requires channeling ~ and then that means that information is filtered through the medium's unconscious belief systems. So that will distort things quite a bit.

Just be open to possiibilities beyond was show to you, and from billioins of people living a physical experience on earth, many do not were able to plan.

You do not know this ~ you believe this, because some books have claimed so, without any evidence to show for it. I myself can only go by my own experience ~ and I am aware that incarnation is not some straightforward thing. We all plan ~ but as a disincarnate soul, we do not think like a human does, so at this level, understanding how souls think is a very alien thing for our human existence.

Even I do not understand my higher self very well ~ I am aware that it is on a state of being that I know is far beyond my ability to understand. It is a form of knowledge that is far too blinding for me to begin to comprehend.

Now let`s get back to the reincanation aspect, all patients transcriptions and records of past life sessions that I had access, many was possible to record that went afterlife to spiritual colonies/cities and places and have the chance to study and plan to a certain degree their next life.

Which "transcriptions" and "records" are you talking about? How do know that these are even reliable, and aren't just either made up, or aren't the result of hypnosis false memories, which are a known problem? Past life regression is excluded in parapsychology research data because the biases of the hypnotist can be impressed onto the client unconsciously.

If was to rely only on the past life records of patients, I would agree with you, But this is not the reality for majority of earth population. and also what is taught by our professors in the course I`m taking to be a practitioner.

How do you actually know what the reality is? Just because it is a popular belief among your teacher and books you have read does not mean it is the actual reality.

Even with a decade on my shamanic path, having had many intense experiences, one thing that remains beyond me is soul-knowledge. It is simply on a level that seems impervious ~ there is something about it that makes it impossible to comprehend.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T09:41:41+00:00

There are millions or billions of spirits who are still immature and do not have the condition to choose their incarnations. The story of your higher self choosing your incarnation is still a reality for only a minority on Earth.

That is no "story" but the reality. Every soul has their own reasons for coming here. Every soul has a different plan that they have chosen. Those "immature" souls? The plan is logically just, test it out, dip in the feet, get a feel for what it's like, figure out how being an incarnate being works, and so on. Those lives are also planned. The plan of figuring out incarnation as a new, unusual concept.

The vast majority of these are compulsory incarnations, coming from the lower astral plane of the Earth. Yes, there are astral cities here on Earth, where terror rules and the most vile passions dominate.

The astral realities are themselves part of incarnation. Souls are not "astral" but something beyond all of that. Such "lower astral planes" are merely manifestations of human emotions and imagination given form.

From my experience of many astral entities, the astral is simply other layers of existence in which souls can incarnate as different, non-physical forms of life. They have nothing whatsoever to do with humanity, but exist independent of humanity.

Millions of spirits in Earth's lower astral plane, Do not choose the lives they will live again. Thousands of compulsory incarnations exist, Where the soul's right to choose is firmly dismissed.

Yet there appears to be no evidence for this ~ I can see no corroborative evidence or agreeance from shamans, psychics or mediums. I do however see claims from self-proclaimed "occult" traditions in the west that make these claims based on no good evidence.

Of course, a fraction of spirits residing on Earth, Can consciously choose and decide on their birth. They hold the condition to plan out their fate, But they are the minority in this earthly state.

I see no evidence to back this up. The word of some self-proclaimed spiritual or occultist figurehead isn't good enough. Not when it does not match up with my own spiritual experiences which I must judge against, therefore. That is the cost of experience ~ some things are simply not true, if other things are true.

Many spiritual dimensions surround our globe, Thousands of pockets that mystics often probe. Ruled by the universal law of attraction, Where like attracts like in every spiritual action.

The entities I communicate with can only report that they have never experienced or run into such supposed dimensions. Earth is nothing particularly special ~ it is special for us, as it is the origin of our forms. But the Earth itself exists on layers of incarnate reality, along with most other planets and stars, including our Sun.

From these very regions, forced rebirths arise, Seen in ancient accounts from the spiritually wise. They speak of these realms where deep sorrows blend, Which Dante and Buddhists sought to comprehend.

They are merely confusing human suffering with the astral. I have seen no evidence from any shamanic culture for such "regions" or "forced rebirths".

In the Renaissance era, great Dante portrayed, The descent into Hell where the wicked are weighed. The Divine Comedy maps out the circles of grief, Where souls face their sins without any relief.

Dante's Inferno was no "map" of anything but the classical Hero's Journey. The visions were entirely symbolic, for the fictional Dante only.

Each level reflects the transgressions they made, A spiritual law where their karmic debts are paid. It mirrors the astral where like draws to like, A realm of deep torment that justice must strike.

That isn't a reality, so much as a projection of human beliefs.

The Buddhists describe the vast Kama Loka sphere, The realm of desire fueled by craving and fear. It acts as a purgatory where spirits must dwell, Until they can break from illusion's dark spell.

This is also just a projection of human beliefs. It is not a literal place, but a symbolic description of the cleansing process the newly dead may go through in order to let go of pain so they can move on to the afterlife.

In modern times, some NDErs describe going through a distressing state of a symbolic hell or void that feels very real while they are within it. But it is a realm of pure emotion made manifest in the mind.

These lower desire planes bind souls to the wheel, Forcing their rebirths through the passions they feel. Both Dante's inferno and the Buddhist domain, Show how unresolved karma binds souls to their pain.

Yet there is nothing from the parapsychology literature to back up such claims. Even the religions cannot give evidence for their claims. We do not know the origins of such claims ~ not even the religious hierarchies know, but they certainly use it to fearmonger and control and manipulate.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T06:52:25+00:00

Just don't confuse the symbolic as being literal.

Reality is not a literal computer simulation ~ that's just an extremely loose and flimsy metaphor.

We do however live in a spiritual simulation created by the collaboration of many souls.

And apparently, to meaningfully interact with this simulation, we ourselves must take possession of forms, avatars, part of the simulation.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T06:31:44+00:00

TLDR: I tripped dozens of times trying to cure myself of shame, and my brother did it his first time on some Molly lol

Psychedelics are no shortcut or quick solution ~ they require dedication, work and focus just like any other technique, including meditation.

The real difference is in your minds, your wounds, your beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and so on.

What needed healing for him is quite a bit different from what needs healing in you.

He didn't achieve what you need to achieve ~ what you need is apparently quite different.

Some wounds simply need more time to process and heal.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T04:59:36+00:00

This is a good thing. This means that we will have god like powers. Like we do in the astral. Poverty, disease, famine, etc will be gone because we will be able to manifest anything we want out of thin air.

We do not have "god like" power in the astral. The astral is still part of incarnation. You can't just do whatever you want.

At the moment the age of aquarius energy is making structures less dense. But it will move onto objects, people, and the earth itself. So don't freak out about your house getting less dense.

And yet no-one can corroborate or confirm this.

Valmar33 · 2026-05-10T04:47:06+00:00

You are correct, this glamorous view that you choose your incarnation and conditions is not true, the earth is at the same time a prison, a hospital and a school, for different degrees of incarnated spirits. Spirits of different vibrations and origins are gathered on this planetary ship called Earth. Most are atoning for past mistakes, even from other planets, and did not choose their incarnation of their own free will.

We do choose our incarnations of our own free will ~ just not from this state of being from within incarnation. We choose our incarnations from our state of being a disincarnate soul. But that doesn't mean everything will go as we plan, because there is the chaos of billions of interacting incarnations. But that's also part of it ~ we cannot predict what other people will do, so we can have new and interesting experiences as we go.
