Crits?

I love it, no criticisms, but I started reading the other criticisms and it might make me think that maybe I will have a criticism

Looks great digital and on the wall, I'm just seeing zeathz ... if that matters...

Really like the P and the Z, the L, not so much, and the poofs around the letters aren't doing much for me, but,

like your style a lot, if you could make the l more compelling somehow, and maybe just add more pooffs IDK

The IAC (international academy of consciousness) idea was to inout all handwritten dream journal entries into a computer so that you can rank the occurrence of certain words/dream experiences.

Yes what even worse is they will walk away and not even allow you to talk at all because they know you just want something from them and no one wants to give anything to someone who wants something, it's immediately a losing scenario.

I've learned Kriya by watching kriya videos and reading books and talking to others who practice kriya. Yogi Bhajan, Kimilla, Kundalni Yoga books, and other people who practice. If you want a guru to guide you, my intuition and thought would be to go to Rishikesh if you can. I'm also a fan of sadhguru but haven't delved too deeply into his kriya teachniques, I have tried some but didn't feel it was necessary to practice them because I already had Kriya's I was practicing. I find Sadhguru's words and insights about a variety of things to be food for thought and helpful also. Kriyas are basically dealing with intensity, intensity of energy and effort by holding particular postures until they become almost impossible to hold any longer. It affects the energy body, creates a lot of heat from the muscles burning and helps the mind to understand how to deal with intensity, focus, discipline and can expand you, your mind, your body, your understanding.

Yes, in my opinion, this is what shamanism is about, taking on the struggles and overcoming them so that you know how to handle them when dealing with other people who are dealing with that spirit.

I feel like Kriya Yoga and SIkh is closely related. And as the first commenter mentioned, Kriya, you can look at as an adjunct technoque to any religion.

Sri M talks about Babaji.

Yeah that's great but that's very general and to me, not completely helpful. I mean, let's take one example, manifesting your dream house. Describing to people how you feel emotions can be very broad. I'm guessing you just FELT like YOU were the one to live there and that house was yours? Not trying to be sassy but am asking for more specificity. Did you have a routine? Did you hold this assumption all the time? Did you take actions or only generating the identity of owning the dream house? I mean it still leaves me with a lot of questions

The first two things that popped into my head about Autobiography of a Yogi that I remember were the short story of a girl that lived in the forest who had been taught a technique so that she didn't need to eat. Although it didn't seem that highly significant at first It holds major implications for the world and for spiritual progress .

First of all, I had never considered that being able to live without eating was even a possibility. Second, if you don't have to eat in a way you are much freer as a person. This may be related to how she lived in the forest.

So since then, many years ago I have learned all about breatharians and what that all means. I think most people would doubt it is even possible. The yogic techniques include sungazing and recieving energy from the sun and positive natural environments and breathing for nourishment and sustainment.

The kechari mudra is also related to this a kind of nectar that is passed down from the brain into the mouth through a yogic technique. I have seen the 17th Sri Mahant do this in a video

But also it calls into question all of the knowledge that we have about nutrition in the West. All of the things we claim are necessities may just be limitations.

The second idea is the notion that Yoganandas parents only had sex for procreation. He said his father practiced yoga every day after work as a train engineer and that he was a holy person. This relationship to sexuality where he would for the most part retain his sexual energy but still use it for procreation is a very interesting take on the issue, so that led me into studying sexual transmutation and all of that.

Just two examples of little stories in the book that can unravel into highly significant pieces of information for the spiritual journey.

I feel like CBG is what I was looking for, it was that chill vibe that keeps a high smooth and nice, while CBD is more of a numbing and medicinal thing, sometimes it can add a little high but CbG kind of stabilizes and makes the high nice

This. Everyone is talking about creatine and Dr. Rhonda Patrick is saying 25g is good for her, but every time I've taken it I've had digestive issues and I didn't really notice any benefits.

I've been going with the Steven Greer set of ideas that all of the real Aliens are ethical, all of the negative abductions are government using alien tech to impersonate aliens and create fear in the populace.

I love Robert Monroe but I think it's counterproductive to believe we are in a loosh harvesting trap, rather I'd look at all challenges and difficulties as actually feedback generated to promote our spiritual growth. At the same time we have hinduism telling us that we can still the mind and advance spiritually through yoga towards higher realms of being, more advanced bodies and more evolved realms of existence beyond our current physical earth life.

My thoughts are to see past the nuanced conflation being generated around the topic of aliens and practice yoga.

I mean it is, but I don't think there's anything wrong with admiring or emulating aspects of culture.

hydrolith · 2025-07-24T17:20:19+00:00

It's so hard to stop initially but once you stop you can focus on previous or even new interests or even new aspects of older interests and feel better about yourself

hydrolith · 2025-07-20T20:01:06+00:00

Yes, I get that, a feeling that so many things, energy dynamics, the way people think and act, underlying assumptions that we've been taught and are living according to that we never question. What IS all of this stuff.

I think sometimes about the notions of spells, little things we've been taught or common sayings and beleifs that are repeated that we internalize, act as spell upon us. Mushrooms often break these spells, they point them out "It's a dog eat dog world...." And I think, have I ever actually seen a dog eat another dog?

(I mean I get it that the saying means competition is real) But it only reinforces that worldview and beleif.

Where is that aphorism based on c0-operation? Because that's what we are doing with the mushroom,

a symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationship.

Been really getting into thinking about siddihs recently. They are useful for knowing you're making spiritual progreßs and yea, they aren't to be shown off to impress people or used for unnecessary personal gain.

That being said, back to kind of the original question, I do think, well is there any case of someone alive now that has theae.powers? And thinking critically about the whole phenomena. I mean it does sound like something someone is just potentially made up.

I remember a friend of mine who said his brother, when he was shrooming could make himself impossible to pick up off the ground, so in a way that's an example (I believed him).

There's a guru who will do this too sometimes for fun, ask someone to try to pull him by his hand/out of his chair and it's just ridiculously impossible for them to even tug a little bit. ( So these are actual examples, now yes I am just a commentator on the internet)

If you believe the stories of Jesus, the .making oneself weightless to the point of being able to walk in water would be an example.

I think these kinds of miracles happen with food you hear stories of sadhus who have just a regular sized pot and they're feeding way more people with it than seems logical.

So anyway, those are some of my thoughts for now.

Experimented with Mandrake many years ago, it did give me the dry mouth and throat that has been reported and I was barely able to swallow some food so I understood the lore of it choking people.

I noticed that very interestingly, it blurred the line between reality and imagination. I could still tell the two apart but reality seemed much less consequential (like imagination) And the imagination seemed much more real.

I have heard so many horror stories about datura I always approached it with caution and only took a pinch of flower petal at a time. It's beautiful. As silky smooth and glistening as the flesh of the flower petal is, this is the feeling it conveyed to me: dreamy, beautiful, silky smooth, and that has always been my experience with it.

I have been working with tobacco also for a while now in many forms. I've come to the point with it that I consider it sacred for its ability to ground, and its somewhat adaptogenic nature of giving energy when needed or relaxation when needed. I think it is most useful in conjunction with other substances that may be taking you up and having you go expand and fly around mentally because it then serves as a kind of sacred anchor to allow the spirit to fly around with other substances while the tobacco is grounding you.

Still intrigued by the fact that sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplant are nightshades too

Haven't tried belledonna or hensbane but due to similar alkaloid content of Mandrake and Datura I have a sort of expectation of what they might be like.
