I have not. Likely so. Although I kinda doubt he wants my guidance.

That is another problem. Psychedelics must be used properly to get their benefits and power. Taking a massive dose of LSD -- as he did (1000ug) -- is not a valid way to use psychedelics for consciousness work. Yeah, 1000ug of LSD will do nothing but freak you out and make you never do psychedelics again. Daniel Ingram made the same mistake with his over-dose on Ayahausca.

He has, but I don't think he got any profound insights or experiences from them, which is why he dismisses their power. He thinks all they do is change state.

Initial awakenings tend to be ungrounded and easily get co-opted by the ego-mind which falls into delusions of grandeur, warping Truth and Consciousness into something that serves the ego. See for example the Alex Jones God video I recently posted on my blog for one example. This can be especially true with psychedelics, which give very high visions but little grounding. This can be dangerous, so be careful. At best it makes you look like an ungrounded fool, and at worst it can mislead your followers into dangerous ideologies and cult like behavior. Teaching people spirituality is a very serious responsibility because it can so easily be abused and veer out of control even when the teacher has the best of intentions. Good intentions are not enough.

I think they simply don't work well on him. He's not taking into account that psychedelics affect people very differently. And he's not experienced with modern psychedelics like 5-MeO-DMT or DMT.

@Cosmin_Visan Watch yourself. You're falling into egotism and arrogance. Your mind is tricking you.

This is simply false. If Truth can be realized in your current state, it can be realized in other states as well. And you are always in some state. The whole point of spiritual practices is that they alter one's state of consciousness to states which are more conducive for realizing Truth because some states are better for truth-realization than others.

In Zen they call it the stench of awakening. No not make a mockery of this work.

Truth is Love. And no amount of excuses will change it.

Beware of Zen devilry.

This clip shows the depth to which a human mind can be genuinely deluded to the point of tears: That's how powerful ideology is. That's how dangerous the wrong epistemology is.

Easy for you to say once you've watched all my videos. But without that, you'd never know these things. Everything is obvious in hindsight.

Thanks for posting your results.

I already recorded a rebuttal of Mackey's absurd takes on socialism. Will be posting on my blog soon. Bad segment from Joe. As usual, he didn't push back enough and Mackey just spewed bullshit that merely sounds nice.

It can't be made of anything, since it imagines all things. Consciousness is undefined.

This is the definition of tribalism, and it's happening on both sides. Although the conservatives do it worse.

@MrBON JP thinks there is a problem with women wearing makeup in the workplace and that we still haven't come to grips with women using birth control pills. It's the same old conservative nonsense repackaged in psychological lingo and pseudo-intellectualism. He's a conservative pretending to be something else. It's like he's gay, everyone around him knows it, but he won't admit it to himself. He's deeply confused about his own philosophy.

You can't understand that without awakening. That's right.

I was being nice.

My teachings will never be accepted by the mainstream no matter what I say or do. I'm sick of having to qualify every thing I say and give a disclaimer for everything I say. It's like talking to children.

That's the trick, nothing! Nothing is needed. Ta-da! You are still assuming reality has some limits. The key to realize it is unlimited in every way, since nothing = no limits.
