What you did

@SoonHei Molecules are of course imaginary, but I (as God) am imagining them. My body is materialized directly through God's Will. My body is the crystalized Will of God. You can become directly conscious of that. Since you are creating your body, otherwise you could not see it.

@GabeN Good! But now reframe how you think of it. Rather than seeing this as "being all alone", see it as "I am in total union with all beings!!!" When you are making passionate love to a woman/man, are you alone? Yes! Because you two are one. But that just makes it better! That is the whole point! Not aloneness but Unity. YOU. ARE. UNITY! Aloneness as an absolute includes within it all forms of togetherness. What you must realize is that the pinacle of togetherness is aloneness.

@zeroISinfinity Yes, you become that empty universal mind, but that still doesn't mean you are fully conscious of how it works or even what it is. For example, are you conscious right now of how Universal Mind is materializing your physical body? I'd guess not. This requires a radical degree of consciousness than even most awakened people do not have. For example, I have become conscious of how I create every molecule in my own body. This realization has nothing to do with removing defilements.

Which is why I will use $100s.

In the end, everything is one. Yes, you could equate Love and creativity. Creativity is a quality of Infinite Consciousness or Universal Mind -- which imagines all objects. Creativity is imagination. All creativity happens out of Love and for the sake of maximizing Love. Creativity is not seperate from Creation itself. They are one. The creativity you feel inside your mind is a tiny sliver of God's infnite creative capacity. God is literally using your mind to create through you. You are inspired by Spirit. You are In-spirit-ed. Your body is made out of spirit but your mind is also enspirited. Creativity is infinite and unlimited, giving rise to the infnite world of finite forms.

It's very powerful stuff. Too advanced for most people to appreciate. Read the workbook. It's very clear and direct.

@ethanb121 Then you should be excited to wean of SSRIs so you are free to seriously pursue Truth. SSRIs are not good for you. So you should have a plan for weaning off them regradless of psychedelics. You want your mind as free as possible for this work. I know weaning off them is hard, but see it as an investment into your future. For stuff like mild depression, psychedelics will be way more effective than antidepressants. Psychedelics will address the root cause of depression and will help you find peace. If you kick antidepressants you can do weekly trips and that will help you stay grounded. You can also experiment with microdosing LSD. Although I prefer large bi-weekly trips vs microdosing.

So why not wean yourself off SSRIs first? The problem here is not merely that 5-MeO will reveal crazy truths. The problem is that there can be a bad interaction between these two chemicals in your brain, causing the trip to turn very sour and possibly even lethal. If that happens your trip will spiral out of control. You will not be able to think your way out of it. When taking psychedelics you gotta consider possible interactions with other medicines very seriously. You don't know what kind of synergy could result. Do your research. And even then, I would not advise it.

@lukej Sorry to hear that. You should know that cancer recovery rates can be significantly improved through proper daily visualization technique. This has been validated by clinical research. So I highly recommened you learn it and start doing it daily. PM me if you want some further instruction. Godspeed.

Yes but are you conscious of any of it? Or is it just a story in your head?

@ethanb121 Not off the top of my head. Search Reddit. I don't understand why you would be taking 5-MeO while on antidepressants. 5-MeO is very radical. It will reveal shocking truths. Can you really handle that? Why are you on SSRIs to begin with?

@Arhattobe Great stuff. Thanks! I basically agree with all that except that even if all fear and all attachment is eliminated, there will still remain many degrees of insight into the fundamental nature of reality. My claim is this: you could remove all those defilements but still be missing important existential sights such as What is Love? Or What is God? etc.

I will swim around in it like Scrooge McDuck.

Sounds like your trips were very mild. Seems like you have a toleramce to LSD or weak blotter. Your intention is fine, if that's what you really want. But the real power of LSD will shine once you get over all your psychological needs and start setting metaphysical intentions. Like, What is reality? I would trip sitting up, not laying down. Tripping outdoors is tricky. Start by doing 10 or 20 trips indoors where you have full control of environment and isolation from disturbing people.

I would strongly advise against that. It could be very dangerous.

@Anton Rogachevski You can sleep with all the women you want. Just don't go creating an ideology around demonizing women.

Let's use that same logic when your mother gets killed. Do you see how your logic falls apart as soon as the tables are turned?

@Mezanti Kriya yoga is your best bet.

Gooooood! Young Padawan. Very goooooood....

I retract my statement. You can donate all your money to me

Mmmmm... Trolling conservatives can be very tempting. But unfortunately it still counts as a distraction.

These kinds of emotional reactions are a dead-giveaway of dogma. People react like that when they are defending an ideology. There is nothing logical about libertarian ideology despite any appeals they might make to logic. All the logic is a backwards-rationalization to justify one's dogmas.

If you want 12 solid hours of the best sort of cringe entertainment, watch this playlist of Sam Seder unmasking the foolishness of libertarians. He debates and debunks all their top arguments: There are some really hilarious moments in that playlist. Just ignorance so thick all you can do is laugh. It gives you a good window into the libertarian mind.

Talk therapy can be helpful but it is notoriously inefficient at resolving deep psychological issues. There have been studies done on this. People go to therapy for years and show only mild improvements. The studies and the anecdotal evidence backing up the effectiveness of psychedelics is simply too voluminous ignore. The trick with tripping is that it can be done in very different ways. Some ways are frivolous. And most people who do psychedelics are not serious, they are dicking around. I've read so many idiotic trip reports that it amazes me how often people misuse psychedelics. If psychedelics were widely available and people where taught to properly use them, I'd guess that 50% of therapists would be out of a job. There are aspects of your psyche which can be accessed on psychedelics which you will never access sober or with a therapist. And I don't believe there is anything a therapist can help you access which a psychedelic cannot. Maybe you've done psychedelics but it does not seem like you've realized their full potential yet. Perhaps because you were already fairly pure before taking them. Or simply because you have some sort of natural tolerance to them (as some people do). I'm not really saying anything bad about therapy. It think it's a good method for some. But I just don't see how it can match the power of psychedelics. Verbal analysis of psychological issues is simply very indirect. It's the same problem as trying to verbally talk someone into awakening. It's highly inefficient. What kind of psychotherapy allows someone to play the violin without practice???? Let me put it this way: if I had a daughter who was raped, I would not a trust a psychotherapist to heal her trauma. I would send her to do some psychedelics. My ex-girlfriend was an alcoholic and had panic attacks because she was sexually abused in her teenage years. She went to therapy for years. She was still extremely dysfunctional to the point where I could no longer be in relationship with her. She could not handle honesty at all and she was extremely insecure. If she went to therapy for another 5 years, I doubt it would solve her issues. There is a reason why AA was founded on LSD. AA minus the LSD is much less effective.
