The Effect of Drugs and other Substances on our Spiritual Training!
Bud Jetsun replied to LousyLaoTzu's topic in Daoist Discussion
There is no hard-requirement for any drug to experience any state of being, as all states of being are a choice of how one chooses to interpret and receive Now. MDMA in my own experience is not unpleasant, and a useful tool for introspection, but I've never reached even level 2 with it at any dosage. It is an amazing experience booster drug to combine with shrooms and/or LSD, but on it's own it's tough to even detect if you took any IMHO. Without plant/drug assistance the probability of success of experiencing level 5 approaches ~0% even if you spent a lifetime dedicated towards nothing but that experience. Each being is free to die having never glimpsed reality beyond their own comfortable cage of indoctrinated confusions of what the nature of reality may be. Once that veil of illusion of little self has been lifted, even if only for a short duration, a being may optionally choose to never view themselves as the little self again, and this discovery and awareness of ones true Self makes it optional to ever choose to pointlessly suffer any aspects of this fleeting moment in a body again. This joy is immeasurably liberating beyond any 'high' and unbreakable without ones own consensual choice to be in-compassionate to themselves unnecessarily. Unlimited Love, -Bud- 54 replies

It's wonderful as a tool for muscle spasms, reduced inflammation effectively on my recently broken rib. I've never had cannabis induce level 5(no self concept). I did get level 3+ with it one time. Early into dating my future wife I told her I didn't think cannabis worked on me. She gave me an extreme OD amount for someone with high tolerance and my body had no cannabis tolerance. I've never had it go beyond level 2 with it since at any experimental dosage, including 2,000mg edibles. Still fantastic natural medicine for care of the body and relaxation. Mushrooms, LSD, Mescaline, DMT, MXE, Ketamine, the expansive 2C-(x) group, 25I-NBOMe, and many of the dozens of new 'research chemicals' released each year offer Level 5 at adequate dosage (many times beyond a comfortable dose). It also requires committing to experience the nature of reality and not choosing to stop. Laying on my back in a dark room on towels to protect bedding. Fasting the previous day and trip day is a matter of convenience and potency effectiveness. Alternatives that also can achieve level 5 but are brutal include LSA, Ibogaine, Muscimol, and a handful of snake, insect, and marine animal venoms. I only personally confirmed the first 3 on this list before sticking with the ample variety in the above paragraph. Entheogens used in spiritual level doses have a sharp reverse addiction curve, trending towards longer intervals between uses until its many years between experiences or never again.

Respectfully sir, having traveled the world visiting temples of various classic traditions, the common foundation is suffering in ignorance and clinging to dogmas. It is not a foundation if someone else spoon feeds it to you. It's not a foundation by just repeating some ritual on a regular basis. It's a foundation when every planet, star, blackhole, and galaxy are felt supporting you as an aspect of the same whole. There is no value in imitation of someone else's foundation which may once have been. While this fleeting vessel is still operating, seek enriching experiences and embrace what comes in this one moment. Unlimited Love, -Bud- 54 replies

Light doses of entheogens give light recreational level experiences. Extreme doses remove ALL constructs and aspects of constructs, including all concepts of words/language/thoughts and delusions of understanding. If a person can speak or understand words, or are capable of holding a mental construct/concept, they are not dosed adequately, as they are still sustaining their own state of confusion of what IS rather than appreciating what IS. Extreme fasts, extreme feats of endurance, extreme injury or illness, and extreme doses of entheogens all offer a being opportunity to experience a new perspective of reality. Each experience offers new perspective. Before my first heavy entheogen experience I lived as a victim to a perpetually racing mind that seemed outside my control. My life choices centered around racing, womanizing, and amassing technology and resources. Post heavy entheogen experience, having recognized my mind was always perfectly under my control the whole time, and emperically understanding being a spiritual being temporarily piloting a loaned human vessel, every aspect of my life choices changed to reflect this new discovery. Nothing settled back to the way it was before, as once a veil of confusion has been lifted, it will not reconstruct without one's choosing to do so. Each being is free to express their own confusion and delusions of what entheogens may offer, and are equally free to die having never experienced reality outside the confines of their mental indoctrination.

Discover which aspects of self are perceived as not-yet-ready to appreciate this moment which is of the Dao and make peace with them through genuine forgiveness and/or genuine destruction through never feeding them attention/energy again. This life will be gone like the twinkle of a star, but the Dao will continue on perfectly if we ever choose to appreciate it or not. Unlimited Love, -Bud

Scheduled meditation will have inherently contrived motivation and expectation. If scheduled periods of contrived sitting leads to reduced mindfulness, perhaps trade sitting for using the fleeting gift of this moment in body to live meritful actions. Going through motions on a schedule is trading opportunity for inspired life experiences for ritual process idolatry worship. If the motivation to meditate arises from obligation to a constructed process rather than Self-inspired inquiry to explore Now, the fruits will not exceed the bounds of the constructed/imaginary. Meditation is a precious gift of opportunity to explore the unbounded Now in single-pointed awareness. If the action of sitting is treated as a dress-rehearsal practice for some later day's real exploration of Now, one will die having wasted the opportunity to recognize inherent mindfulness and liberation. Enjoy meritful action without consideration of a future point in which mediation may occur until one's being is surging with resolve to explore deeper into the nature of reality in Now, transcending all aspects of the constructed, expressible, or preconceived. Then meditate as spontaneously as practical for however long needed, recognizing the inherent life and death commitment in appreciating every breath's new energy provided to generate this priceless enriching opportunity to embrace the real. If one chooses to stop embracing the real after getting up, what purpose did the mediation serve other than to grow older? True Awareness is already perfect and complete. Phenomena of Now, no matter the type or magnitude is exactly how it needs to be already. It remains unnecessary to create or sustain indoctrinated belief in delusions of expressible truth/knowledge, which functions only to create illusions of division of Now which has always been whole and complete.

Dealing with some sort of awakening of the subconscious?

Appreciate Now with each breath in, appreciate Now with each breath out, use the energy in each breath to live the Dao. -
Dealing with some sort of awakening of the subconscious?
Bud Jetsun replied to Tryingtodobetter's topic in General Discussion
In Now, inhale and feel your lungs inflate with life energy and be grateful. Exhale and appreciate your bodies gasses re-join the cycle of Oneness energy composing the gift of this one fleeting moment. Choose mindful appreciation of this one moment Now, and the appreciation fuels both instant kindness to the Self and fuels manifesting. It doesn't matter how you once have may choosen to think/feel/behave, as that only exists as a memory of what may have once been that replaces appreciation of the real to continue to feed energy.

Dealing with some sort of awakening of the subconscious?
Bud Jetsun replied to Tryingtodobetter's topic in General Discussion
Subconscious behaves perfectly as programmed, every time. It's possible to experience awareness of subconscious mind, but it's not something you can converse with, it's just running it's programming loop perfectly mindlessly. It's a gift only you can give yourself, but the loops the subconscious runs can be only beautiful life appreciation irregardless of any conditional phenomena. Awakening is when the illusion your thoughts happened for you out of your control has been shattered and personal mindfulness and thought accountability replaces the ability to suffer phenomena without ones own (optional and unnecessary) consent.

First, I am in debt and tremendous gratitude for the expressions of wisdom you've kindly freely shared with TBB, which combined with many hundreds more folks wisdom and insight have each contributed towards the gift of starting fresh with each breath in the infathomable adventure of self-discovery. It would be an honor to join a visit with you, as I've heavily been working for clients in the LA area. I savor the wisdom the universe offers in every new experience. In returning the favor of showing me this temple, it would be an honor and pleasure to take you on a few hour riding adventure (I will happily provide an amazing silent electric dirtbike for you if you don't have one) along the local mountain ridges and optionally pet the local snakes and photograph the birds we discover along the way. If you don't feel comfortable riding, I would happily take you as my passenger (35years+ riding with passengers and no wrecks or injuries with a passenger onboard) and ride at whatever comfort level agrees with your being. I've also got more silent dirtbikes at my use if you happen to be a riding enthusiast and want to bring friends to also ride. it would be deeply valuable for your insights in what differences you meditating in a human made temple vs the remote ridge-line mountain peaks and deep forest.

The only sage you could personally experience is a personal mindful choice away from appreciating the real of this moment. Otherwise one can feel energy/sound/light/touch which a being may offer, but will not be appreciating the nature of sage but rather worshiping a constructed visual/theoretical fantasy model of what's available to optionally be appreciated to the limits of ones choice in mindfulness for this single fleeting moment. Re-ligion is a byproduct of copying someone elses method into sage state of being in Now, which may optionally workout for whomever mindfully chooses to manifest it with every breath in, every breath out, and the times in between. A Buddhist/Taoist/Shiva/Christian/Muslim sage, all are equally capable of choosing to appreciate the same real in Now. This is choosing to appreciate the aspects which are the of the Dao but do not limit it the Dao to be experienced in unlimited choices in manifestation by infathomable and innumerate beings.

Whatever a being expresses as a "disliked" action, expression or being is inherently only an aspect of themselves reflected they have not yet found peace with. A being worships with most sincerity whatever they pay their attention. All other acts are in-genuine pseudo-worship, as a beings only currency of spiritual value while in this fleeting earthly experience is attention in Now alone. Each being unstoppably free to evolve, or spend their one moment worshiping reflected discontentment until inevitable last breath draw moment. Unlimited Love, -Bud

The ultimate Hedonistic pleasure is mindfully choosing to appreciate this moment which embraces the whole of the real. Appreciation of the real is the same core objective of Yoga, Zen, Buddhist, Gnostic and all re-linking (religion) systems. Unlimited Love, -Bud

Teachers who accept money vs. teachers who teach for free
Bud Jetsun replied to sillybearhappyhoneyeater's topic in Daoist Discussion
Money is a human mind construct and all its appearance of energy arises from what attention consciousness donates towards manifesting it having energy. The sun still shines, flowers still bloom, birds still fly and fish still swim with or without humans choosing to construct and persist money related beliefs and customs or not. Teacher can manifest charging any price and manifest having people pay it or not pay it as they choose to manifest. Student can manifest paying whatever they like or not paying whatever they like. Neither of those conditions is related to the quality of enriching experience the beings choose to manifest in Now. When money was a pursuit, it always fled. Through giving freely there's always exactly the right amount. It is a gift for the teacher to receive and equally a gift for the student to pay. Unlimited Love, -Bud -

Sex created you, created Buddhas, and sex will create future buddhas. Transgressive behavior would be that which causes extinction in a single generation through denying one's own nature and cycles of life as a human. Transgressive behavior is including or excluding beings based on genital shape being convex or concave. Transgressive behavior is repeating borrowed wisdom to live in-genuinely in idolatry worship. Transgressive behavior is all clinging, including to passed words and a rigid framework of rules and policy while the Dao remains transitory and dynamic. Unlimited Love, -Bud

No more nonsense. Looking for a concise, simple, step-by-step, guide to open your chakras and cleanse the meridians
Bud Jetsun replied to Ryan94's topic in Daoist Discussion
Practice living compassion towards self and all living beings. This includes mindfully choosing ones thoughts and actions. Energy will flow perfectly all by itself, as the human willing/manifesting energy to shift locations will be temporary and a matter of constant upkeep if the lifestyle does not support the energy in those areas being utilized.

Appreciation of Now exactly as it is is how to show kindness to yourself. Whom or what performing the liking or disliking? A whole of whatever reality may Be requires no divisions or categorizing to appreciate. Unlimited Love, -Bud

Respectfully the oral aspects served a function to openly engage deeper discussion to clarify understanding until they became memorization. The Buddha instructed not to write down or memorize his words so his students would have a chance at acquiring their own genuine wisdom VS becoming living breathing tape recorders. When they had no Buddha's actively comprehending the nature of reality to ask questions, clinging to whomever could remember the Buddha's previous answers became symbolic proxy Buddha. Eventually the living tape recorders get backed-up on paper and ink, and the patterns of symbols and sounds is worshiped. CT earlier shared this section from the diamond sutra: "Subhuti, do not maintain that the Buddha has this thought: ‘I have spoken spiritual truths.’ Do not think that way. Why? If someone says the Buddha has spoken spiritual truths, he slanders the Buddha due to his inability to understand what the Buddha teaches. Subhuti, as to speaking truth, no truth can be spoken. Therefore it is called ‘speaking truth’.” When words are repeated, it would require being the same consciousness with the same series of experiences for them to have the same meaning let alone a shot at describing the truth of Now. If a sage has completed re-linking to Now, all memory and all concept of what another being may have experienced or expressed is recognized as categorizing aspects of human confusion, and clings to nothing borrowed or repeated, but draws from all wisdom in phenomena, resting unshakably in the same foundation which supports the galaxy of galaxies.

Seeing, Recognising & Maintaining One's Enlightening Potential
Bud Jetsun replied to C T's topic in Buddhist Textual Studies
The diamond sutra shares such profound wisdom and beauty, body pours out salty eye fluid in a quantity that makes continuing to read optically blurred. The Dao de Jing arises the same eye fluid response, the Upanishads also spontaneously trigger the same eye fluid flow. Diamond sutra as a collection of droplets of ink or patterns of symbols in itself carries nothing, just as the Buddha's words can't contain or capture/hold truth, but the truth of Now that exists in all beings may discover aspects of itself reflected as the reader or listeners experiential awareness permits. Whatever we cling to the fantasy of knowing, whatever we cling to the fantasy of needing, whatever we cling to the fantasy of scheduling/expecting, whatever we cling to the fantasy of what may have been, this is what we trade appreciation of the real to sustain. Even one more inhalation of breath is a priceless gift that comes with no guarantee. This fleeting loan of energy from the universe will be paid back with atom-perfect conservation, before this inherent conclusion, the opportunity to appreciate this source of energy as it is in its indescribable incomprehensible splendor of phenomena remains always available for all beings. No moment to waste, no dress-rehearsals, no scouting passes, either push further and deeper into awareness shedding the constructed layers of dogmas, knowledge, and realizations or miss the unbounded opportunity in this one moment. No matter if you've meditated for decades straight or a day-dreaming child, mind begins fresh every instant, and it's our own optional choice alone to apply the bounds and confines to what natively is unbounded. Explore every technique yielding results with the intensity you would if you knew that breath would be your last opportunity to embrace Now. Every being has exactly what they need already, but it's a flight with no baggage space for taking any dogma or clinging to traditions or past-beings wisdom along with them. May all beings choose to enjoy the unbounded liberation of Being. Unlimited Love, -Bud
