Look, I think you're taking this Self-Love thing too literally. It's not an object you find out in the world like some Holy Grail. Self-Love is just a label I invented for a teaching. Yes, there's tons of stuff to become conscious of before and after Self & Love. I have described many facets of awakening in my so-titled video. This question has no answer. It all depends.

Blue Beings and whatnot do not contradict Self-Love, and since any kind of being is a form, it is still a subtle form of duality. I didn't say things "stop" at Self-Love. Self-Love is infinite. It's all that is. You can keep exploring the world of form forever. No matter what new forms you discover, it will all just be facets of your Self. So there's no real contradiction here. Just people talking about different facets and forms in different ways. There may be all sorts of beings in the universe. So what? None of it threatens or undermines nonduality.

Yes, this is a predictable trap. But people can't grow without making mistakes. So I consider it par for the course. The highest teachings appear very impractical, yet when actualized are the most practical.

Yes, this is precisely correct. Although there is an even deeper level where you realize that something and nothing are identical and there is nowhere else to go. You can't choose to experience Nothing because you're already experiencing Nothing all the time regardless of whatever you're experiencing or not-experiencing. That Nothing you encountered was The Void, The Godhead, Mu, or your Original Face as the Zen folks call it. There are of course much deeper levels of nonduality and more facets you can access with practice. Be careful taking such large doses and mixing substances. Lower your dose to 125ug of LSD and learn to contemplate.

It wasn't even fear per se. Your mind just happened to drift off into images of blood and you did nothing to change it so it just got stuck in an echochamber of bloodly imagery. Then you got scared because what you imagined started to materialize before you and you were confused about how this was possible. You were terrified by the power of your own imagination and it didn't even occur to you to control it. This is all normal. You must learn that your imagination is very powerful, so be careful how you use it, or how you let it use you. You can avoid such trippy detours by giving your trips a strong intention. Guide your mind towards what you wish you contemplate so your trip isn't just a random dream. It's important to not get lost in the content of one's trips but rather to focua on going meta, contemplating the strucuture of consciousness. What I have been describing here is strucuture while your bloody stuff was content.

@electroBeam Hence the plugging method. It is perfect. Not too fast or overwhemling.

YES! They need Self-Love more than anyone else. Self-Love is an end in itself, and that is why it can keep people in line. The only way to reform a criminal is through Love, not hate. And the criminal must learn to love himself. When you love the world, do you need to be kept in line? Nope

Yes, practical teachings are still important. It's not enough to literally only have one teaching. The devil is in the details. People need help with implementation of high-level abstractions like Self-Love.

To be fair, 5-MeO-DMT has a fairly high bodyload and can also cause nausea. A few times I came close to vomiting but what saved me was having a totally empty stomach. If you have even a bit of food in your stomach you will vomit it up on a deep trip.

Of course we have backups, which is why the data loss would not be total. Otherwise the entire forum could be lost. Creating frequent forum backups wastes a lot of server resources.

Simply no. Love is not that. It would help if you realized your brain is imaginary. And so is science. You CANNOT treat science as an absolute. Science itself is obviously incomplete and always growing. Stop blindly believing it. Question it deeply.

It's easily explained. Since you are God, your mind constructs/imagines all of reality. The psychedelic expands your consciousness and will power such that whatever you start to imagine starts to physically manifest. If your mind starts imagining blood, you start to see blood. There is no limit to what you can imagine. This can lead to some freaky trips, especially if you have a poorly disciplined or impure mind.

Here's a toxic Blue gem: Will be posting this doozy on my blog.

Well, climate change is gonna make immigration problems 100x worse. And of course those who deny climate change will spin all this as the fault of the immigrants and embrace nationalism even more. It's coming. That's the tragedy of sticking one's head in the sand. What's denied by nationalists is that rampant capitalism causes and exacerbates immigration problems. Global warming, exploitation of 3rd world countries by corporations, wars started by the military-industrial complex, etc all contributes to people being dislocated. After a few hundred years, capitalism starts to cannibalize itself and spin out of orbit.

The same chemicals affect people differently. Also, people have different levels of trauma, shadow, and karma to purify. If you've lived an evil life full of lies, yeah, a psychedelic might cause you to vomit simply from self-disgust.

All immigration and refugee issues are part of globalization. As the world gets more interconnected people move around more, destablizing old ethnic boundaries and identities. If this went on long enough all the races would blend into one.

Make sure you don't undersell your progress. It's easy to forget how much we grow, especially if we grew a lot. It's good to remind yourself once in a while how unconscious you used to be.

I feel it distracts from contemplation. Maybe for some people it may be necessary, but I think it can mostly be avoided with proper technique and the right chemicals.

It's all relative. Doing it is better than not doing anything at all. But it's better to be your own shaman if you can manage that. What matters is the substance, not the shaman. The shaman is a middleman. Why do you want a middleman between you and God?

@electroBeam That CAN be a method, just like any suffering can be made into a method. You can make a spiritual practice out of dipping your balls into a glass of ice cold water and picturing evil spirits leaving your balls as you sit there. There will be some truth in that. But is that necessary? No Are there better ways? Yes

@electroBeam No, I am talking about pure synthetic mescaline. It's still bad. I've done 70+ deep trips at this point and no vomiting was necessary. Shamans say that because they need to rationalize their inferior product because they cannot access pure chems. You will never regret taking the purest chem possible.

@Bridge to Infinity Look at your hand. That's it.

Okay, good. Done then.

@Simon Håkansson You can re-approach but the most important thing is to be totally indifferent about the result. Don't spend any time thinking about her or planning anything. Zero attachment until she shows interest in you. Don't wait for her. Go approach 10 other girls.

Sourcing supplements is fine.
