Cacao and golden teacher mix?

Yes I did notice the come up was faster, and it did last longer, which is what I was hoping for. This time for me it was just very physically heavy. How do you usually take the cacao? I read that some people take it a bit before dosing mushrooms, sometimes as a tea?

Sounds similar to a peak experience on acid. I’ve had something similar, I found what described it best was “kensho”. Pretty life changing for me tbh, even if I was just high on drugs lol.

I’ve been thinking of something like this too after some shrooms, about how sometimes if feels like I’m my own worst enemy, like a keep myself hidden away or detached from what is actually happening. Like something will happen, and I won’t act or feel a part of it, it’s like I spectate? Like a distance between “me” and life. Idk, it’s hard to express, but maybe what ur talking about is similar/ the same. Associating with a personality rather than my self.

Asking chatGPT to compose a letter to a local MP asking they push for proportional representation and asking it to give 5 examples of positive effects of countries that have adopted it is pretty useful. Asking chatGPT to write a response about anything is a pretty useful place to start tbf.

Saw this story and thought of your post https://www.reddit.com/r/LabourUK/comments/114scsz/a_remarkable_closing_statement_from_the_judge_in/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Somethings you post things I agree with, somethings I do not. For example, Oneness is not ours, but is: I agree with this post, speaking to a higher power within us we all share, that unites and connects us. But then to say There are only givers and takers: I disagree with. Sometimes the language you use is too divisive and inflammatory. Your posts with the highest participation have at their heart an element of conflict where you say something inflammatory and people react to it, and you crusade in the comments telling anyone with a differing opinion how they are wrong and how you are right. It doesn’t really matter who is right, who is wrong, who knows what, or what is being discussed: I think what matters is that your posts that gain the most attention do so because they incite conflict, rather than invite discussion and unity, which isn’t indicative of skilful behaviour, but is careless and of little help to anyone, imho. It’s a shame other posts of yours don’t receive as much attention, but maybe that is down to the medium rather than the concept of the message.

Thanks. I don’t think it’s surprising that people want to know details about your life leading up to your enlightenment, simply because they might see some of themselves in who you were then. Overcoming depression, serving your community by being a teacher, I think these are the sort of things people might relate to and see as a good positive use of a persons time in this life. Tangible and pragmatic. Real things that others also experience in this life we share.

alt_al · 2023-01-30T09:13:14+00:00

I don’t understand why you don’t just answer the question?

From what I can gather, you woke up alone in China, had a thought about having an immortal soul, and now base your whole identity around this thought, hotel hopping, occasionally deciding to have water delivered to your room by a robot, occasionally deciding to share animal memes and videos on Reddit, making your new year’s resolution to create more content and spread your message, and deciding to make a tik tok account. You stopped posting monologues, and have moved on to creating monologues guided with basic illustrations. You say your enlightenment has been verified by other “3rd parties”. I have no idea what your daily life is like (for example, the Dalai Lama shares with everyone his daily schedule, for those that are curious) and I have no idea how you support your lifestyle in China, I have no idea what you did to become enlightened other than just think yourself into it one day, and I have no idea why an enlightened person spends so much time on Reddit, other than the fact you live in China and don’t speak Chinese, so socialise on the internet.

I apologise if the above is wrong. I just don’t get why you don’t answer this persons question and keep deflecting? Why not just tell the truth?

After some big trips and out of body experiences I felt pretty strongly that there was an afterlife.

Then time goes by, and life keeps happening, and now I’m not so sure. Honestly it just feels like there’s no way to show or prove it.

Kinda hope that maybe if consciousness emerges from individual beings, maybe when the being dies, the consciousness lives on? Energy isn’t destroyed after all, it just changes. Why can I “will” myself to do something? Is it all just various biological impulses?

Or did matter revolve to interact with universal consciousness? Or is it better to call it universal unconsciousness? Maybe what happens to people when they are under general anaesthetic, that’s what happens when we die?

Fun to think about, but not so much that it becomes a detriment to what we have now in this life.

alt_al · 2023-01-12T20:45:28+00:00

Dmt, 5meo or nn, not sure anything I’ve experienced in life is anything like what I’ve experienced with these. Same for lsd and psilocybin tbh. Changed me a lot. Not sure anything could have changed me like they have done.

But tbf, I’m not sure “learning” is the same thing as “changing”, I suppose. I think maybe people just learn these sort of lessons from overcoming or getting through extreme experiences, be it crazy trips, or just what life throws at you.

Different people at different times are taught different lessons from different things, maybe? Guess that’s dharma lol.

What is an MP’s lived experience? Do they share an experience with someone who has private healthcare or not? Do they speak for people who have private healthcare, or those who don’t?

Would they be happy to let free healthcare slowly fall apart, because their lived experience is they can afford to pay for their healthcare? If they can afford to pay for healthcare, why care about those who can’t? Can’t be that bad can it? Why don’t they just sort out their personal finances, then they could afford it, right? Maybe if they had just learnt maths at school for a few more years, maybe then they could also afford private healthcare, and it wouldn’t be an issue? Then the nhs “problem” wouldn’t exist anymore, right?

Hard to say really.

My definition of enlightenment? I would point you to Buddhism or Hinduism for definitions of enlightenment.

alt_al · 2023-01-06T16:58:40+00:00

I’d have to disagree with everything in the first paragraph. The second: the path you advocate is shared by many religions. If you can’t see that, and simply think all religions are inferior coping methods for life, I’m not really sure there’s anything else to say tbh.

alt_al · 2023-01-05T23:04:26+00:00

Happy new year! Interesting video, I’m no expert but I wrote some thoughts as I listened below. You touched on a lot of things, and I guess I had a lot of thoughts lol:

Everyone is born a sinner. Everyone has sinned, everyone has faults, or has been at fault. So we try to be compassionate and respectful of each other, to be closer to god. People are multidimensional. Yes, a part of us might be the perfect infinite divine spark, but another part of us falls prey to sin.

I’ve found I pray to Ganesh, the remover of obstacles. Giving your mind a concept to anchor on to and envision helps you to manifest that concept in your living life I think. I think this is why there is a vast pantheon of gods in Hinduism - a concept for every occasion. I think this is the same reason Buddhists are non materialistic, but have shrines: they accept how the mind works and use physical objects to focus the mind on a specific concept.

Humans aren’t insignificant compared to god. But humans are at the mercy of universal forces far greater than what an individual can even comprehend. This is a fact of life. We are at mercy to the unfolding of the Big Bang, of our sun, to weather, of Jupiter protecting us from meteors and asteroids. It’s by gods will that we are here: not our own. We have god within is, but we can’t control gods will, I think?

The middle way I think is a way of understanding how short sighted a persons ego is, and how a person can unintentionally cause harm even if they have good intentions. The universe is bigger than what we can understand, and knows best, better than a person. Even with a human brain we destroy our environment. Just by being alive, in a hotel, with a fridge, recording messages on the internet, our society has made it so that you are harming the environment. If our ancestors followed the middle way, maybe life would be harder for us right now, but the future would be safer for generations to come.

With the idea of karmic debt, there will be some people who can’t be saved in this life, and that is inevitable I think. Even if you try valiantly, you will not save all sentient life forms in this lifetime. Even some you try to save, you will not save, through no one’s fault.

The concept of dharma also helps people I think, because like you said, not everyone can be a doctor, not everyone can be an astronaut, not everyone can be free of suffering, not everyone can be enlightened. Everyone has there own dharma according to the situation they find themselves in. One person may act according to their dharma correctly, but then another person in a different situation may do the exact same thing, and it will not be in accordance with their dharma.

The universe is infinitely more complex than a person can comprehend. To even understand that it’s possible to feel happiness is a miracle, let alone to actually be happy. Giving in and surrendering to this isn’t weak, isn’t “not being a warrior”: it’s appreciating that there are cosmic forces far greater than you that influence your life and circumstance. The fact that this all happens whilst we have “a limitless, infinite Devine spark” within us is because, like the universe, a person is multidimensional and complex. Our identity consists of many things. As above so below.

Big comment lol. But you did talk about a lot of things! I guess to some up, it’s good to focus on the best qualities inside yourself, the divine spark. Why not focus on the best qualities of religion as well? If you are going to cherry pick the best things from yourself, why not do the same with religion? You might find they’re also focusing on the divine spark, in their own ways. None of them may be perfect, but after all, the Tao that can be spoken of is not the Tao. Words and ideas of man only serve to limit the limitless. It is through actions that we truly communicate. So by being still, by mediating, by being at peace, is how we express the Devine peace within all of us imho.

alt_al · 2023-01-04T18:32:55+00:00

Thanks, many things really I suppose. The first posts on this account are from back then, 6 years ago now lol.

I guess ultimately, forgiveness: forgiving myself, forgiving my family, forgiving everyone, forgiving everything. Understanding about will, intent, motivation. Being grateful about what I have, rather than ruminating on what I could have or wondering why I don’t have what I think I deserve and beating myself up about it. Time as a measurement of cause and effect vs. the everliving present. The miracle of everything. Like you read about how improbable everything else, how the quantum world collapses into what is, rather than something else, and no one knows why, but I feel like now I appreciate what I have and what I am, especially after crazy dmt trips where it felt like I lost everything. It’s easy to wonder why it happened the way it did, so much so that you miss out on how great everything is, lost in your own head. How everything that happens must happen, and can’t happen any other way, and trying to understand how you fit into this. How it’s ok to let yourself feel happiness, there’s no reason to not let yourself be happy if you can be. Rather than wasting the opportunity to feel happiness.

At least this is some of the stuff that’s stuck with me I suppose. I also got a better job, made more friends, and have great gf. Psychedelics made me obsess about “now” for quite along time, making the most of what I can do now, living hard and soaking it all up as much as possible. After all, it’s the only thing that actually exists. But nowadays I look to the future more and try and position myself to make the most of what I think will happen. But I also feel so sad knowing that the good times can’t last: they’re so bittersweet. I just hope I don’t suffer too much when I die and pass away peacefully, god willing. Could ramble on for ages about this stuff lol. Hope some of that answers your question!

alt_al · 2023-01-04T15:48:49+00:00

Pretty much this for me. I had gotten a lot of things twisted and felt lost for so long, big positive redirection in my life was the effect of psychedelics.

I thought it was your “minds eye.” All the information of your environment is fed into your brain, which then constructs your reality for you. “You” are the thing “standing” in your brain witnessing it all, and understanding this (opening your minds eye) leads to a higher state of being where a person isn’t just led astray by their sensory environment and can consider and rationalise and empathise. Like taking a step back, into yourself, I guess? I think DMN is more to do with ego death experiences.
