I'd like the 1/8th of my life that has been spent being advertised to back please

Then it's a good thing yoga is not anti-Christian. The practice is meant to deepen faith through direct experience - a view held in common with mystics across traditions, including Christianity.

[𝐿𝑜𝓊𝒾𝓈𝑒 @crunchycozygirl]

I hate the fact that yoga is anti-Christian.

Like I wanna be able to go to hot yoga and stretch my body and not end up worshipping false gods.

Sigh.

Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.

@jamesfkalupson Current culture? What I've been finding interesting is seeing echoes of the experience in spiritual literature, but that's far from new territory

@theepopprince The app also stopped working like an hour before it was supposed to (10:50p EST)

@drrickbarnett It's important to be realistic about the potential dangers while also being conscious of the self-preservation instinct of the systems such an experience could threaten

[PsycheDharma @PsycheDharmaX]

@sacredrain Also Green Tara exists as a direct challenge to this assumption

[PsycheDharma @PsycheDharmaX]

@sacredrain I've spent time with a Lama who incarnated as a woman. According to the monastic establishment, women are considered lower rebirth unless they tell you otherwise. It's up to the individual woman to challenge conventional politeness to receive teachings

@psychedelicscom The way this came to me was "the same love given to others can be sent inward" ❤️🙏

Something that often goes unsaid in psychedelic circles is the simple fact psychedelics can be dangerous.

The younger you are, the larger & more frequent your doses, the greater the potential risks.

Psychedelics are tools with sharp edges — they must be treated with respect.

[PsycheDharma @PsycheDharmaX]

@FatherMcKennaa I think people don't take the whole weight of the idea that psychedelics are powerful. Powerful doesn't exclusively mean good or bad. It means powerful.
