After reading through comments on Avatar videos on youtube, I've concluded that people are either lacking the necessary bits of information and experience in their frame of reference to FEEL spir

View MoreHi all, I've posted this on the main feed yesterday as the journey on DW encompasses more than this group. However, the aha moment came after reading up on Jung here, checking video's and listening to his audiobook. I really do want to send my deep gratitude to you for helping me get there and the chances of it not being read in the main feed are substantial which is why I hope you will forgive me for posting it twice. Now begins the original post. Hey fam, I had an incredible realisation. Let me take you on the journey here at DW which led me to it. It is about a year ago I started with yoga exercises on a daily basis. The transformation of both body and mind have been very enriching to my life. A few months later I was helped onto DW by the beautifull soul we all know as Innervison and have since then been helped by many of you, which is hartwarming to say the least. I picked up books for the first time in years after being recommended them here. In the first weekend after starting to read in the way of the Psychonaut by Grof, I had a massive green out by consuming a spacecake with a, for me, heroic dose of THC in combination with a low dose of Jedi Mind Fuck and had an actual mind fuck where I called 911 as I was convinced I would die. Needless to say, I didn't. But I found its resemblence with the bpmii stage as described by Grof striking. What a timing to have such an experience in about 20 years of mind altering substance use. Yesterday I started reading on Jung here in the group dedicated to him and decided to listen to the audiobook of man and his symbols. I've come to the conclusion I have looked for anwsers to my psychedelic experiences in the wrong place. Coming from an education in chemistry, it is in the world of logic I have sought in vain for explanations for the deep mystical experiences I have had on DMT and psylocibin. It now strikes me that the visions of divine female entities emiting beams of life and that of grand gold Mayan temples can be thought of as symbols from the unconsious workings of my psyche. Aditionally, real life events that I felt like I have dreamed them before they happened dont seem so weird anymore. My Yoga teachers often say 'Yoga teaches us that we are always exactly where were meant to be'. Amen to that. Thank you all for helping me get there. Thank you all for being here. Down the rabbit hole we go. Mush love ❤️

I was suggested the red book as 1 of the "best" Jung books. Also 'A modern man in search of the soul' was suggested by Jung. Definitely check out Platos Dialogues. They are very good.

When asked if he believed in the existence of God, Mr. Carl Jung responded:

"I don't believe, I KNOW."

When I started to read his words I felt absolutely connected. It was like he had gone to very similar process I did and at some point I saw he had a death experience too after a heart attack. I am very aware of the risks of holding some affirmations as truth because I had the reality expanded a few... View More

A true conscious human would reside in the soul. There is no evil only love in a conscious heart

HappyKB, so often Ive tried to express this. Never close to Master Jungs beauty or depth of understand of course. He shows me exactly the promise the inner work has given. This is so reassuring for everyone here plumbing the depths. Thanks to both of you!

In the Taoism it would be described as the state of flow. I've experienced it couple times with the ayahuasca. The energy guiding the body is so intense you don't even need to think about moving, you just need to let it flow.
