    180 days without weed video: ruclips.net/video/ZFwsggWH-Xs/видео.html (watch this for more context)
    I've had people smoke in front of me everyday for the last week in Thailand, and not once have I wanted to have a toke, nor do I judge people for smoking. I say this not to show off how spiritually superior I am (my third eye is exploding with indigo), but how surprised I am at how I actually got to this place. I'm no longer using willpower which was fucking exhausting in the past. It's like alcohol for me now, but I still prefer to be around stoners over drunks :P. I'm still a hippy at heart after all. Anyways thanks for watching, got a lot of exciting videos in the works (maybe even an elephant poop mushroom quest doco ;p)

    Quitting bad habits is not just extreme pleasure. Quitting bad habits is the realization of immortality and the realization that everything is heaven. When you realize that, it's so good, it's infinitely good. It's not just good. It's good to the infinite degree. It's so much goodness that you can't contain it. your body can't hold it. Your entire body shakes and shudders in a cosmic orgasm of bliss. It's perfection. It's total peace. It's absolute love, that's truly quitting bad habits.

    I'm afraid that life sucks and nothing ever gets better. Where do you even find community these days? People are closed off, insular and plain weird. No one seems interested in making friends. People work their awful jobs which suck the life and soul out of them 9+ hours a day, 5 days a week, then return home to their suburban box to sleep and repeat it all over again. I'm about to turn 32 and feeling more lost, lonely and disillusioned than ever, and I know I am not the only one. This world has gone utterly insane and our way of life is killing people. We need a total reset, just not in the way the WEF plans.

    I smoked for 12 years, quit for 12 and started again in 2019 and couldn't be better. What I learned is don't burn too much, take some days off and don't think you always need to for no reason. I can't lie though, when I was not smoking I didn't play guitar nearly as much, didn't lift as regularly as I should and the outdoors were not nearly as intense. That said, I do encourage people who are quitting to quit and don't think it's right for everyone. Don't think you need it to do everything. I don't have any interest in quitting now but I also am much smarter about it than I was 20 years ago.

    Literally watched a video about conscious relationship with cannabis and I’ve actually been wanting to quit for some time but it’s hard because I do depend on it and I also enjoy being high. I have a bad habit of smoking way too much, way too often. Out of boredom. As a reward. Stress. I want to experience a sober life and maybe later on I can try cannabis again maybe, with intention and in ceremony. Your perfect came to me at the perfect time. Thanks mate, you’re always around when I need ya 🙌🏻❤

      I've been starting a dream journal. I dream every night now, and quit smoking 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately, I've been just getting nightmares, but still have to start somewhere to begin lucid dreaming, which is my goal.

      ​@@ThirdDimensionalBeingCome to terms with them. Program yourself to embrace and learn from them. Use a mantra, one that can also trigger lucidity from within the dream state. We repeat that which we mantra. Self-hypnosis essentially. For example, "My nightmares are not scary, they are simply trying to teach me something." Repeat that often. Set a reminder throughout the day and say that mantra until it becomes second nature. One day soon you'll be within a nightmare and you will be saying that mantra, it will trigger lucidity. Visualize exactly what you want. You can once you become lucid, face the darkness causing these nightmares. In my opinion, they're likely entities, feeding on your energy, using your dreams to torment you and feed. One time I faced the haunting figure in all my nightmares, shook his hand firmly and told him to leave with courage and zero fear. The eyes lit up red and he turned around and walked away. That experience was like taking the world off your back. That dream experience of conquering your inner fears and demons via a lucid state, will transition to your waking world. I basically sat on park benches for months after that, feeling at complete peace with existence. Can't even begin to describe it. We literally can change our reality by facing fears and inner demons (manifest as nightmares) in our dreams.

    On a certain level, we have a drug store in our brain, the neurochemicals that show up in flow: so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin. If you were to try to cocktail the street drug version of that, right, you're trying to blend like heroin and speed and coke and acid and weed- and point is, you can't do it. It turns out the brain can cocktail all of 'em at once, which is why people will prefer flow to almost any experience on Earth. It's our favorite experience. It's the most addictive experience on Earth. Why? 'Cause it cocktails five or six of the largest pleasure drugs the brain can produce. We're all capable of so much more than we know. That is a commonality across the board. And one of the big reasons is we're all hardwired for flow, and flow is a massive amplification of what's possible for ourselves.

    My body went good habit and just exploded out into Infinity. It was like I was an ice cube thrown into the ocean and it just melted. This was by far the most incredible and most positive and most joyful experience that you could possibly imagine. That was the moment of death and I had the Epiphany that death is the greatest thing that could happen to a living creature because it feels like in that process of dying for a split second it's terrifying because you're dying and you have no idea what's coming next. But then as you fully let go and the death occurs the next Split Second you're so relieved. It's like your entire life was this giant thousand pound weight wrapped around your shoulders just tons and tons of weight and then all of it was just lifted in a split second and you realize that you're untouchable and that you're Immortal and that nothing could ever disturb you again. It's complete peace just utter peace and joy and profundity. The beauty of it is Indescribable.
    How is it possible. There's no way that this is possible. Did I really just die? How could that be?
    I'm laughing and I'm smiling 😂

      The best part about it is that only a few people have ever ventured down that cave. Literally among 1000s. Unless you count all of our ancestors. I also experienced that 11 years ago now. For me it was 5-Meo. It wasnt so simple for me though. You give the simple details but rarely does anyone give the dark and real side of it. But that takes a lot of processing. For me it took 10 years. Still debating whether I should share my experience to the world or not. Because i feel it will just fall of deaf ears. After all how can you explain to someone a place that they have never been? Or at least their current memory doesnt remember. And theres all those people who talk about Bad trips. but they dont even know what its like to have that experience. its beyond mental and physical. I recommend writing down whatever you can. And keeping a journal along with you daily. And remember that people are extremely ignorant and they cannot understand what they dont know.

    Quitting bad habits is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute.
    So the bad news is that you don't have parachute, but the good news is that you discover there is no ground. And then you're just endlessly falling and you never reach the ground.
    So in a sense, what i'm asking you to do is to jump. And you don't want to jump. You're saying, I'm scared. I'm too scared to jump. And I'm saying, jump. God is telling you, jump, jump into infinite love and it's going to be great. But you're like, what if I kill myself and what if something else happens? I don't know. You just jump into infinite love. Take the leap of faith and you'll discover infinite love. And you're too scared to do it. But then eventually when you do it, then you're just going to discover that there's no ground. You're endlessly falling forever and it's great. But yeah, taking that leap is really difficult. It requires you to face your death. So of course, everybody is too afraid to do it. People are just to scared.

    This resonated with me a lot. Just recently quit after years on and off smoking weed. I can't do anything in moderation and almost switch my addiction to quitting which is the only way I can do it.
    Putting it into nice tasting flavoured juices was the nastiest thing ever, taking away the nature aspect and allowing me to shove in copious amounts daily without even noticing or enjoying any of the effects any more.
    Plus quitting this time the withdrawals from the sheer amount I was using daily felt like it could kill me. Which has probably helped me not want to go back to the old habits.

    The scary part of standing on a ledge of a tall building, it's not worrying that you'll fall off, it's actually the fear that you might want to quit your bad habits.
    What scared me is that I really wanted to do it. The greatest beauty i've had is quitting bad habits. I don't care anymore whether I live or quit bad habits. I accept my quitting bad habits. I will take the entire Universe with me. There won't be any suffering because I'm taking you all with me.

      @@nickmcdonald4888 why would that be the case if spirits interact with humanity via consciousness by implanting thoughts and we as NPCs act on said thoughts like scripts?
      If shamans interact and work with spirits then why would being an NPC and being a shaman be mutually exclusive to one another when they share the same experiences?
      We as shamans are not the ones who implant thoughts via consciousness, we are as within this 4D construct of time as those we interact with in the 3D moments and 2D medias.
      I will say though, that just today those who implant thoughts via consciousness told me I could generate thoughts myself so I’ve been experimenting with that lately. I stopped generating my own thoughts to the point that they became my subconsciousness while my subconscious thoughts became my conscious thoughts. So maybe I am a player after all and I just forgot and consented to being an NPC this whole time.

    What quitting your bad habits tries to do is it tries to slap you awake by putting the beauty of infinite creation a little piece of it up on display for you on a pedestal so you can look at it and say oh yeah. Of course. Look there it is. It's so beautiful. It's so amazing and then that opens your eyes a little bit and you can say oh yeah look that thing's beautiful too and that's beautiful and that's beautiful and that person's beautiful and I'm beautiful. Oh my god it's all so beautiful and then that takes you to a whole new level as a human being and then you can delight in reality and you can enjoy everything as one giant work of art.

    i been struggling tryna quit weed for 2 years now and i always relapse. it's been hard. but im at an age and point in my life where it's obviously not helping me as much as i want and i have been on it since college years. i have to use alot of will power to just not vape durring the day and go through succesful bits of greatly reducing my use but all around quiting it is very hard to do unless i get sick lol. i got covid this year for a week and quit for about 2 weeks b4 i picked it up again... I feel really guilty and like im letting myself down. I've been stuck on opiates for much shorter periods of time and the shame from opiates is alot heavier. but i still get a bit of shame these days on myself for just not being able to quit even tho i want to and am trying. i am proud that im taking responsibility again and cutting my use way down at the very least.

    You are able to imagine entirely new worlds and realities. You know how when you're daydreaming you can just sit there maybe in class, you're bored when you used to be in you know literature class or something in high school you were so bored you would just sit there and stare out the window and just daydream as a teacher was yakking on about quitting bad habits or something and you were sitting there. You're just daydreaming about some videogame world that you wanted to inhabit and you just got lost in this sort of reverie of this sort of fantasy world you went into this world. You were running around as an elf doing something. Fighting somebody whatever. That is a little taste. A little microcosm of what can really happen. What God is doing on the macro level. So when you crank up the consciousness and you crank up all these other dials. Your imagination goes through the roof. your creativity goes through the roof. You literally tap into the source of creativity. Pure infinite creativity which is responsible for the creation and the imagination of all of material reality. This pure creativity is responsible for creating atoms, molecules, planets, galaxies, science, mankind, languages, animals, you name it and you're tapping into that and it feels so surreal and unbelievable because it's too good to be true.
    Here you were living this ordinary life. Thinking that reality is just material and physical and now one day you find yourself in the nexus of creation where God's mind is creating the entire fucking universe.

The only reason you cannot sit on a unicorn and ride off into the sunset is because you don’t know how to imagine a unicorn as deeply as you imagine a horse quitting bad habits.
