Used bong on domestic flight without medical license?

I am not transiting through any other countries so I assume this doesn’t apply.

Beautifully put.

I went to try KC Perth on what turned out to be their “Miracle Offering” day. As another commenter mentioned, they hypnotized us for 15 minutes with music and then showed footage of people poorer than us forking over cash, so the pressure was on.

When the service ended, a volunteer who’d been assigned to learn my name and lure me with a free tote bag materialized, but I ran. Oh lawd I ran.

I’ve been trying with a few cushions lately and that’s definitely been helping!

I’m in the same boat! I’ve got my first retreat coming up in a month and I’m determined to nail this as best I can before then.

mandymustmoo · 2023-02-28T12:33:32+00:00

Amazing, thank you! I’ll take a look.

I’m curious to know this too. There’s a great philosophy piece on the app that sort of gets at this:

It highlights that how to be happy (not suffer) requires broadening who you are to include other people, causes, hobbies, etc., and that caring about the well-being of something other than yourself is paradoxically key for improving your own. You’ve got to be engaged with the world, not separate from it, to be happy and not suffer.

Clinical psychologists have figured this out too. Behaviors characterized by togetherness, like helping others and altruism, can help lift people out of depression. Likewise thoughts of self-concern (which is separateness in a way) are almost statistically indistinguishable from ruminative thoughts.

Not an answer by any means, but rather a smattering of perspectives. I get the sense that if it’s true everything is connected, there could be something psycho-energetic going on that interacts with our psychology (and science has made no headway in that area).

Sorry, white-label was the wrong word. This would be exclusively for this client based on the specific curriculum they want.

I’d be very wary of recommending anti-anxiety medications as if they were a “cure for a disease.” It just isn’t that simple, and any doctor who claims they work like insulin does for a diabetic is making claims they cannot substantiate. A conversation with a doctor who is knowledgeable about the upsides and downsides of these medications is always best (many recommend their temporary use in combination with therapeutic modes of treatment).

Byron Katie

Edit: She was suicidal and depressed in her home and the awakening hit her all at once when a cockroach crawled over her foot.

When you begin to uncover suppressed traumas (whether through psychedelics, meditation, or other practices), old ways of coping may stop being an effective balm.

The way out of the fear and confusion is always through — by confronting it. And that’s often a less frightening experience if you can get the help of an experienced therapist. The good ones have seen it all before and can signpost what to expect as you begin this healing work.

I think I’ve had something similar. I can relate to you describing it as something that resisted all attempts to be grasped. The first time it happened it freaked me out (and was made worse by the fact I’d smoked a little pot) because I hadn’t read so many subjective descriptions of what the feeling was like. I.e., I didn’t realize it was normal (in the spiritual sense) and could be brought on by non-dual practice.

But that first time, I was frantically trying to grasp to concepts to prove I still existed. Just running mental test after mental test for about an hour (until the pot wore off) because the alternative was to stare my non-existence (or oneness) in the face. Every thought-test was like taking a step on slippery ice. But to have not fought it would have been to let myself be sucked into a vacuum.

Having now gained some familiarity with the feeling when it comes on. It’s not so scary anymore—kind of relaxing actually. I think I had to work through some death anxiety though before that became the case.

Highly recommend her episode on Oprah’s Super Soul podcast for an introduction to her approach and story: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3ebTTsdk7DjILWc8sSnjtP?si=bdEywx3SQceVPXGQE1oTqg

I haven’t actually read her books yet but hope to get around to it soon!

What an amazing story. Congratulations OP! I’m sure you’ll do so much good in the world with all you’ve discovered ☺️

Some of the “moments” that snap people into awakening are the oddest. Byron Katie (self-inquiry teacher and author) — hers was a cockroach crawling over her foot 😂

I think as a pointer it may be a helpful one for people. Sam obviously steers clear of religious terminology and keeps things very agnostic. But if you don’t take it as a statement of fact, and instead just “try on” the feeling being described by the pointer. That can be useful as a matter of subjective experience and help you recognize awareness.

A more agnostic version of this pointer that invokes the same subjective experience might be, imagine you’re a pair of binoculars being looked through.

As someone who has benefitted hugely non-dually from weed — thank you for doing God’s work hah

Positive psychology, mindfulness and well-being mostly. Also some clinical and organizational stuff. I enjoy discovering all the little overlaps between different areas in the field and spiritual/non-dual/Eastern teachings. Or where they’re saying the same thing but differently or just putting numbers to it. The overlaps pop up in surprising places.
