I sunburn very easily. Sun is bad for me. Very little. Especially naked.

It's going to be a heavy discussion regardless. Just the tone will be mild. Not the material. The material is kryptonite.

I've never done oral 4-Aco, always plugged. 4-AcO used to be great for me but then changed its character to one that I no longer like. But this is all specific to me. Both are good to try. Both are crazy profound.

I don't do chanting. I just visualize and feel the prana moving up the spine while breathing as slow as possible. It is especially important to visualize and feel it flowing into the brainstem and brain. Blast your whole brain with that prana from stem up. That is it. It is nothing fancy.

You want me to aim a firehose at a basket of kittens?

I do pranayama instead of meditation. And I still meditate but it is informally. And I will still do hardcore meditation retreats. I just don't do regular daily meditation because I find it ineffective for my type of mind. Pranayama is way more potent than meditation. I disagree with the abidance thing. The point is pranayama to rewire the brain. That is key, otherwise yoga would be nothing more than meditation. If I want to do abiding, I will just do meditation. Pranayama is needed to rewire the physical brain. That is what I focus on. Abiding is nice but don't waste too much time on it early on. That time should be used for more pranayama. However, after you do years of pranayama and it rewires your brain, then you naturally do more abiding. Pranayama is needed to do effective abiding, otherwise you are just abiding in monkey mind, which is useless. The first few years I would not worry about abiding at all. Laser focus on more and more pranayamas. You want to get a few tens of thousands pranayama under your belt first before you optimize anything else. Build that foundation. Then expand your practice.

That does not work for me.

Yes it is valid. I do KP1. Without Kechari Mudra.

I cannot be as bold in interviews as I am in my normal videos. This would freak normies out. I need to be more chill and gentle, otherwise people will just dismiss me as a crackpot. The tone is crucial. People judge interviews by tone, not logical content. An unhinged tone is suicide. So I worked a lot on softening my tone.

No, this is a mistake. You can't open people's minds like that. They will immediately precieve me as an enemy and close their minds. I do everything possible not to make their ego feel threatened. The discussion following the disclaimer will be wild enough. Don't worry. The disclaimer is to soften the wildness that is to come.

Meeting a new girl is always exciting. If it isn't exciting something is wrong. Take it easy man. Don't compare yourself to someone who has 10-20 years on you. Everyone started at 0. You should be excited. And try not to be so crass about it. "Fuck her" << this is a bad attitude. Treat women as humans.

Yes, exactly. Gamana's books give very clear and simple techniques. The Stevens' pranayama technique is also very good. You already know it. Just do it!

Yes, typo. Sorry, fixed it.

Yes vape. Chewing it is gross and tends to work poorly. Sublingual methods never worked for me with psychedelics so I stopped trying them. Chewing would be excessively mild. I vape pure Salvinorin A, 1mg at a time. Clean as hell. 1mg is a full trip. Nice! Glad you dived in.

Sadhguru tells that story. Sounds like Hindu tall-tales. Yogananda wasn't exactly a light eater. You could make up some cock and bull story about how he was eating to keep himself grounded. Or you could just say dude was fat. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. There is no contradiction between being Awake and loving junk food. Junk food tastes good regardless.
