I mean university. Actualized.org is not university. I don't teach science.

@Joshe I was talking about even beyond Autonomous stage. Anything less is still conformist.

No. Epistemology was crucial in achieving Autonomous mind. I don't think you are talking about the same level of mind I am talking about. I can grant you that my interest in epistemology was helped along by my personality type.

@Joshe You are discounting the insane work that went into reaching my current stage of mind. I can assure you that no one is going to reach it "naturally".

@Joshe For you: https://www.actualized.org/insights/profound-quotes-059

I agree, but nothing I say contradicts that. Long term relationships cannot be about sex, they are about companionship.

What do you want me to say about that? Of course that is part of a healthy relationship. The sex is going to die in any long relationship.

Maybe less racism next time?

If it's a flirtatious conversation, yes, that's great. If she is asking you where the bathroom is, no.

Great work! You have so much more to discover. 2g will give you way deeper insights. 1g is very mild. 4g will break your world.

Hell of a trip. Haha Congrats.

Any thinking person can register that as wrong. You get peer pressured and later regret going along. That isn't rocket science.

Given the popularity of trip report threads on here, I think we need to start indexing them. This thread is for linking to all trip report threads on the forum. Do not actually post the content of your trip report here, just post a link. Someone please use the forum's search function and make a list of the best trip reports we've got and post links here. It'd be nice to organize them by substance, with sub-headings like: Mushrooms, LSD, AL-LAD, DMT, Ayahausca, 5-MeO, etc. I think this can become a valuable online resource for serious non-dual psychonauts. That kind of thing doesn't really exist elsewhere. Most places that list trip reports are recreation-focused, not spirituality-focused. Thanks!

It took a lot of work and it wouldn't be active without the work. I have a disagreeable and skeptical personality, but that's not so rare. What I'm talking about is much rarer and requires serious work. Frankly, I don't know anyone who has achieved what I'm talking about except Ralston. And none of his students have it. What I'm talking about is not an innate personality type. But some personality types may find it easier to do the work. If it was just a personality type, it would be quite common.

No. You can play against others, beating them just doesn't need to be the source of happiness.

It only gets more non-conformist as you go higher.

They are too busy sleeping with kids.

Iodine is harmful for Hashimotos. Makes it worse. Don't take medical advice from random kooks.

Bro, if Ramana was alive today he'd have an OnlyFans.

After enlightenment, donkey dick.

Yeah, well, to us it is just hearsay.

I am not saying mystical healing is impossible, but I have not seen any credible people who do it.

@Rafael Thundercat Okay, so what? Doesn't mean we should celebrate his death.

I didn't achieve non-conformiry until a few years ago. I noticed a shift in myself once I saw how conformist the mind is. So it's not something I was born with. Autonmous is a stage of cognitive development. You are right in that my personality is suited to it.

That's what I am hoping for. But I don't know how insightful y'all can be. Yes
