Dreams are also a great way to expand the mind. You may become more empathetic from a dream or even learn something new (though usually it's something you already knew subconsciously) and may even experience a good amount of euphoria. This is especially useful if you keep a dream journal and practice lucid dreaming. You can use your dream journal to have more vivid dream memory and even learn the associations you have between things in the dream and things from real life and how they're related. You can even use lucid dreaming to get better at skills other skills, conquer fears, and learn more about yourself among other things. People really underestimate how powerful and useful dreams are

@shadw4701 3 ай бұрын

@pritam9645 Keeping a dream journal and doing reality tests every day. Pretty much everything else is optional. Remember when doing reality tests, always ask yourself how you got here, am I dreaming etc. If it turns out you're awake think about what you'd do if it was a dream. Also mindfulness practices can help a lot. You may want to quit weed if you smoke or take a break

Glad to see this. Psychedelics are not for everyone especially if your family has a history of mental disorders , psychosis and schizophrenia being the more commonly known ones to emerge from a trip if you have it. So having a way to “trip” without the substance is peak.

I love all this. I moved to Singapore nine years ago after living in the uk all my life. I had never been to Asia before. It was all you say. A brilliant way to be alive mentally and young in outlook. I found myself trying new things there even outside of the cultural changes. I took up running, became far more cosmopolitan and flew across the world solo. I am back in the uk now. Everything is too comfortable. Been there done that. Thanks for this. I will look for a way to get that high. Damn I miss it though. Travel is the ultimate fix for stagnation.

9:38 _"Specializing is for insects."_ Heh, I was hoping you'd touch upon this point. The full quote from Heinlein, for those who aren't familiar, goes like this: *"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."* --Time Enough For Love (1973).

so many big words, when life is not that complicated, even when you dive deep into it. psychedelics sometimes have the way of unlocking things that have been pushed down over time, like creativity. according to most im delusional, uneducated, bipolar, and a old , yet i used to think of world changing ideas all the time. i am on my way to unlocking what was pushed down, i can't wait. that old saying 'lights on but no ones home' its a little different for me, 'im home, lights off, and its dark' i need that spark again, and i have tried all these wonderful things, including pharmaceuticals. nothing is helping, its time..

Random contribution adjacent to the Travel hack: spend a couple of hours, days or weeks (whichever is comfortable) immersing yourself in a religion other than the one you were brought up in, or spending time with practicing people in that religion and learning from them if participating in their rituals is out of your spiritual comfort zone.

Can confirm all of this works, especially the non dominant hand thing. Started writing, guitar playing, shooting guns and even brushing my teeth and other small daily activities wrong handed and it has been very interesting indeed. On writing, just start doing it. One sentence a day of journaling for a week. Keep at it and you might just find a sleeping super power in there somewhere

I've went somewhere else with meditation & one time I almost died from kidney failure. The time I was sick was scary af.. I literally went to hell. It's dark, cold, everyone is screaming & for some reason they didn't want me to have water... I felt like I was in a cell somewhere underground, there was no light. Also I know I was sick & in extreme pain but it hurt more there. It was like my body was still in bed but my mind was in hell with all my body functions. I still worry about it. Mushrooms told me everything was ok years ago before I got sick.

Both meditation and drugs can result in bad outcomes. Meditation can even kill you. As someone who has done far more meditation than drugs people seriously underestimate how powerful and how dangerous can be meditation. It is just as dangerous as drugs if not more so at the higher levels of practice. Just like with drugs you have to be careful about set and setting.

Your mate Tom, I have a serious question. I was a very ignorant child. I had several life issues. I hated school & everything out of my interest. & my interest were basically smoking weed & escaping real life. Somewhere in my 20 I got the sudden urge to learn everything, or at least dip my toes into everything. I've learned a lot of useful & unless stuff. The problem I see is that I try to learn too much at once & just know a bunch of halfass things. I get writers block bad & just stray away from what I'm learning or doing, like art. The only things I've mastered are jobs I've worked. I always learn a new job & never go back to a similar job once I've left. I guess my question is, should learning new things be in moderation? I feel most of what I learn is useless because there isn't really a college course for, except mycology & even that doesn't seem to be too direct. I'm 40, pretty intelligent but have done nothing with my life. Sometimes I feel like leaving everyone/thing behind & panning for gold until I die by a river lol.. I had & have inventions that would work & do well but I'm too broke to get patents. Also it's hard to explore different outlets when you're dead broke. I have tons of art supplies, a kiln, a big one... just a bunch of stuff that I can make money with. Except I'm too far in debt to take off work to make my dreams come true. Maybe this will give you another video.. 🍄💜✌️ Tom!

An activity i like to do as I'm going to sleep is to pay attention to my conscious inner dialogue. Theres something kind of trippy there, its like you think in a reverse echo where instead of letting your voice go and it bounce back, your thoughts come to you. I find it incredibly strange that i somehow know what I'm going to think before I've actively thought the thought. Maybe it's just me but being a naturally lazy being, I've used this technique to silence my mind because why bother actively thinking when i already know what I'm going to think before i think it?
