Hey guys,I was wondering, I see a lot of people referring to becoming the best version of themselves, but why? Spiritually, is this a common goal? Is this the best thing a person can strive for? I wan... View More

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. People change themselves. if it takes a drug to help, cool but that power is within you already. There is no magic pill or plant to cure you of wh... View More

Ya I've heard that before...yes, you can probably achieve the same outcome thru meditation and breathing exercises, but will you? Should I spend weeks, months, or years trying to achieve what I can achieve with micrograms of lsd? Is it something that should not be experienced by those who would nev... View More

Loving everyone’s eloquent answers to the question. I like Alan Watts description of the Leela. The Hindu concept of everything being a play. That we are conveniently forgetting our true to make the drama more captivating. From that point of view we are intrinsically our highest selves just playin... View More

Your realization that removing yourself from the situation is a good response, I agree with this 100%. If these people do not and will not stop with these type of comments, then dont even give them the chance to act upon it. it wont happen over night, but if you keep making the effort to keep purpos...

I took the second road you described. It has had its ups and downs. I sometimes wish for something different, but I’ve “locked” myself into a narrower path than I would like. Mortgage, child, and responsibilities limit my options. I don’t regret a thing. I know myself well enough to know I have a hi... View More
Hi, thank you for your response. You basically told me what I already knew but wanted to confirm, I guess. It all seems to lead back to happiness being within us. We can be happy anywhere doing anything, that's how I feel. That's why I usually lean towards staying where I am, and letting the knowled... View More
Question about meditationSo for all these people who are meditating to unlock their psychic abilities n shit, like with the energy and stuff, is there a specific type of meditation we should be doing?... View More

I've heard of many of the abilities achieved through meditation. If you would like to have them then seek it but I don't believe it is essential this day in age as a whole we should be just focusing on compassion and spreading the knowledge of meditation. I think individuals can seek these abilities... View More
I definitely understand what you're saying, and spreading compassion n love is all good, but I hear all these things about how we're literal spirits, and multidimensional entities in a human body, and we're capable of all these crazy things, and I was wondering if I should work towards that. I guess... View More
Have you read “Autobiography of a yogi”? It will open you up to the psychic possibilities and you may then choose to find a kriya yoga teaching which seems like one the proven ways to attain super natural powers. I spent 5 or so years doing hardcore practice 4-5 hours a day and yes, I could see au... View More
I hear what you're saying shaboy. I do agree, a general sense of love and compassion is just as important, we want to spread these feelings. I guess we don't really need those superpowers, or maybe when the time comes we'll know what to do and how to use them, but for now, just keep spreading love.
Is it cool to just drift and do whatever to get by, or should one have a profession?I'm stuck between music, which I enjoy and am good at, but may not bring the best future, and studying architecture,... View More

@shaboy thank you for your kind words. It is a different world, but there are still some similarities. I wish I'd gone when I wanted to go, when I was around that age. I'm not that much older now but I don't want to keep postponing my dream. I feel like it's what I'm meant to do, like travel won't b... View More
As NotAMycologist mentioned, whv's are the best option for travelling. You can only get them once in your life and are mostly restricted to age 30/35. You are allowed to travel freely and work in any job you want, also a good opportunity to find what drives you! I once visited New Zealand for a year... View More

@cornetto , the biggest paper trip I ever had was my first plane ticket ! Hardest thing is buying one, after that you just gotta go! Death awaits, would you rather die regretting what you did or what you didn’t do? I was 23 traveling in India when the girlfriend I met there asked me how I saw my f... View More

I guess it's a possibility, but I feel like I have no way of knowing for sure. I can be like that at times. Maybe they were potential selves. Or they could have been other people. But they were in my mind, so I do feel like there is something specific to me. I really don't know.
