Psychedics are not required. However, I must be honest with you guys. Most of you are so lost in your minds and so unserious about doing concentration practices and/or yoga, that you will never grasp the deepest things I talk about without psychedelics. The psychedelics are recommended because you are not motivated enough to do the manual legwork. If you refuse the psychedelic path, you must work your ass off doing concentration practices and yoga. This dabbling bullshit does not work and you will waste years of time. Spirituality is the most hardcore pursuit that man can undertake. Start treating it as such. It will be worth it. Or just forget about spirituality and do basic self-help. You need to be very clear with your intent. What do you want? Do you really want Truth? If you do you should be willing to sell your mother into slavery to get it.

@EternalForest That's precisely why Truth cannot be captured with language. Because all language must first be Truth before you can use it.

It could, but I advise against such tactics as it will one day get you into hot water. People often redose too soon and end up getting in way over their head. I suggest plugging.

If you want serious answers to such questions then your best bet is to ask them on psychedilcs. Verbal answers will simply not help you.

@UDT What you're missing is the insight of no-self. The distinction between self/other is imaginary. So there are no individuals. This requires awakening. Yes, LSD was showing you that. But you are not taking the contemplation seriously enough. Ask all your doubts when you are on LSD.

In other words, you're a donkey.

Your logic here is so warped I don't even know where to begin. Why is it that self-inquiry or meditation cannot do the simplest thing like teach you to play the violin? Do you see how absurd your logic is? 1) Existential realizations have nothing to do with technical skill at manipulating the dream world. You are smart enough to know this. 2) No therapist will teach you how to play a violin. This example is just absurd. It does a disservice to serious therapists to promise such results from therapy. Objective reality is all your imagination. Whatever God imagines is reality. If God imagines a chemical system, that chemical system will behave precisely how God imagines it behaves. The standard of proof is very simple: take a breakthrough dose of psychedelic and you see all objective reality melt away. There are relative truths within every dream. And the dream itself is Absolute Truth. God is an Absolute. All possible dreams at once. - - - - - - - It would be wise of you to actually watch my videos and to be on this forum to learn and not just teach, because your awakening and understanding of what reality is, is still surface level. You are not conscious yet of God or Love, and many other important facets of the Absolute. Nor have you had a psychedelic breakthrough, given the arguments you make. You are hallucinating this entire conversation. You are hallucinating your therapist. You are hallucinating chemistry. And you are even hallucinating psychedelics. But you are NOT hallucinating God. You ARE God. The one who is hallucinating. All of your memories of having ever done psychotherapy are a hallucination. You're imagining it RIGHT NOW! Which is why it feels true. It's true because you (GOD) say it is.

Much much more.

Nice

Dark Souls?

@moon777light You have barely even begun to notice your self-bias. Self-bias is not about helping others. It's about cutting through your own bullshit.

For a caterpillar to become a butterfly, it must die.

Interesting

@Ero Yes, I was not really disagreeing with you. Just adding to it.

@Ero As I explain in my video: Why People Seem Crazy -- the assumption that human beings live in the same reality or have access to the same things is a flawed one. People can have very different "brain chemistries" -- for lack of a better word, which is why people disagree so much about spiritual matters. It's not so simple as people merely being wrong or deluded. People are experiencing different territories and processing those territories in very different ways. Because there is no such thing as "the human brain". Each human brain/mind is unique. There can be a lot of overlap, but also a lot of divergence. Spirituality is way more complex than people make it out to be. It's easy to overlook this complexity when one sticks to a single orthodox school or teaching. But when you explore all schools, all teachings, all the edge cases, you start to see that it's not simple at all and there is no one path or single dimension to spirituality. Rather than thinking of spirituality as a single axis, think of it as a 3 dimensional volume. And even that might be oversimplifying it.

I am not some super human. I have emotions and dislikes just like everyone else. If a moth flew into the Buddha's ear, he would probably freak out. It is a freaky experience.

Just do the practices and it will come naturally.

Stop dramatizing it. It's no big deal.

How often does one breathe in insects that this is a problem?? Although, funny story, when I was a kid on vacation in Mexico, as I was playing with my GameBoy a moth flew straight into my ear and got stuck there. It was buzzing around in there. Had to find a doctor to get it out.

What you call objective reality is nothing but a chemical state. A few changes in chemicals and you would not know what a violin is. "Objective reality" is the dream. 1) Time 2) Cost 3) Why would I go through a middleman who doesn't even know he is God, when I can commune directly with God? There is nothing a therapist will tell me that God won't. You might as well be telling me to go to Catholic confessional.

What would happen if you poke her with a stick?

Whatever you imagine.

There is no such thing as death. Death is a fantasy in your mind.

They don't last long enough for microdosing.

It's not right to compare them with MDMA. I don't experience much elevation in heart rate from 5-MeO-DMT or DPT. But of course taking them daily is overkill. No one is going to take those substances for more than a few days in a row. It just gets too intense. The most I've done was 13 days in a row, and it's just way more nonduality than a human could want.
