thoughts?
i'm really interested in thoughts about the spiritual path
anything you wanna talk about really
psychedelics have been a part of my experience but i'm also at a place where i believe i cannot get any further with them. they got me to a certain place in my journey but i also think they can only get you so far and then it's time to use other methods

I think that spiritual teachings and teachers can be helpful at deflating the ego. Also, discipline, practcing a virituous lifestyle that is not "me" centered. Most people walk around thinking "me me me, my needs, me" etc. Just stepping out of that for a change and thinking of something other than yourself can be a huge step out of ego.
Matt Kahn says the ego is an inflamed personality. thats another idea I found very helpful.

i like meditation and mantra, i wrote a book while slightly crazy called Way of the Jedi its on amazon, but I share freely what I know online and whatnot
I wish they were more available but the presence of lamp-lightning gurus that ignite the flame in the crown chakra is essential to going to otherwise locked and shut closed dimensions, in Jesus time he ignited lamps and gave people power to be sons of God and do the same, at some point evil took control of his lineage and the dark ages and the vatican existed and tortured and laid havoc while amassing wealth and power... what we know of as Christianity is entirely false, no man was the son of god to die for our sins, our sins are our karma and when we meditated we begin to dissolve that karma in gods light
autobiography of a yogi is a most crucial and amazing read and tells you of the tales of a boy growing up in India who met many sages and found his guru, Yogananda attained a high level of enlightenment through kriya yoga, my meditation school practices kriya and lamp lighting but there needs to be a greater ability for man in general to access these things.
when one chants a sanskrit mantra they gradually infuse light and stimulate their spiritual senses, lately i've felt called to the notion that Krishna is the Supreme Deity and the source of everything good in the universe and is the key to always having goodness and a good life
I listened to Krishna Das on the way back from a meditation retreat and sang hare Krishna with him on loop for about 3 hours and I got a huge bliss from it and a beautiful blue light.
god has designed the universe so I hope I can help people attain greater levels of freedom!
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

Get down on the concrete and find wayward worms and gently pick them up and wash them off and place them in a safe environment where they can either return to the earth or be eaten by a scrub jay but you won't be walking on them and smashing their almost dried worm bodies into the concrete where the hot sun will make that shit not only tough to get off but probably leave a mark.
