Keys_ I will follow my feelings. Thank you again for your kind words.
What does this sabbatical year consist of if you don’t mind me asking? I’m just curious, is it an ayahuasca retreat or something or the sort?
I’m looking forward to going to Brazil.

I'm going to live in a community between the Brazilian States of Acre and Amazonas, in the middle of the Amazon forest.
It's a village that is a sort of Mecca for the Santo Daime doctrine practioners.
The Santo Daime doctrine is a doctrine that was delivered by Our Lady of Conception and use the ay... View More

My best friend and I joined a society a while back. He started as a free Mason but found another group that's more into the metaphysical and alchemy.

Was his group rosicrucianism by any chance? What you’re saying sounds similar to what I ponder, in that I constantly hear about oneness, and I feel the unity, but I am confused about individual purpose.

@zachariahthebold funnily enough I have been thinking of telling my parents, in some more detail, how much I love them and appreciate what they have done for me.

These are all of the many parts that make up who you are. I don't mean let go as much as I mean do no resist.

cornetto it was asked to me in a Santo Daime ceremony by the spirit of the medicine I work with. The first time I got the word of "surrender" was during a shamanic ritual where the medicine hammered my mind with the saying "não existe entrega se não for completa" That "only a complete surrender is a...

I quite like the radio analogy. There is a consciousness 'signal' that the body tunes into. The DNA of the body (receiver / radio), along with the life experiences (filters) distorts the signal, which causes the individuation (ego).
We are all having our own unique experiences, which are filtered u... View More
I agree @UncleBuck. Everything, every idea, every though already exists in the consciousness fabric. We create nothing, we channel things.
The Ego is a tool to work in this experience. When people say death of the Ego I don't agree because I think nothing can actually die in the consciousness, but c... View More
I think ego can die and be reborn. I dont believe it can cease to exist for very long.

Luke_Skywalker I always describe it as a phoenix too. That's why I prefer to use the word dissolution than death.

It is only a paradox on paper. Momentum is definitely hard to build, I would never deny that. But once the wheels start turning it isn't long before your momentum perpetuates itself.

Is it at all possible to make any progress towards enlightenment in a modern society?
4 people like this.
Yes. Enlightenment is just continuously remembering what we already know. So many of us just don't get guidance at a young age to keep us connected to our higher self. It helps a lot to have a daily practice that allows you to quiet the noise of modern society. Tune into that quiet space regularly w... View More
Absatively Posolutely! Meditation, Magick, proper use of entheogens, they can all help you on the path.
Don't be scared. Unlock yourself. Go into it with no anxiety or fear. It's beautiful. Keep going
I know this is a very psychedelic centred forum, but has any one been told to “hang up the phone”? If so, what did you replace psychedelics with, if anything? And how is your life now?

@dinman369 yeah it doesn’t really make sense. And I’ve always heard about how the world is a living thing and humans are the virus destroying it. It would thrive without us they say.

I don't particularly think we have a purpose. I don't think anyone is special.
Searching for meaning or reason is a personal choice. You don't need it to exist if that's all you're wanting to do is exist.

It's a delicate balance. The older you get the more you need those that knew you when u were younger. City life is stressful and robs you of your youth.

What is really beautiful about it is your awareness to see there love and question if you are leaving something behind. This is a common occurrence on the spiritual journey.

What I see is a whole lot of pseudo spiritual narcissism surrounding psychedelics, so that's always something to keep in mind. Drugs don't change people.
