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.

How do you know this? Be careful with such assumptions. To put a guy from 2500 years ago as the highest authority figure when you haven't even met him in the flesh is to set oneself up for epistemic blunder. I think that's generally true, but this notion of "absolute" is quite problematic because in practice you can be in a state of little to no self-involvement and yet not be conscious of important facets of reality. I prefer to think of these as somewhat independent variables, with both being desirable and both being synergistic. Insight helps overcome defilements, and overcoming defilements helps attain deeper insight into the metaphysics of reality. Historically it just seems pretty clear that there were gurus and masters who have had very deep metaphysical insight yet still plenty of defilements.

I've had this idea for a long time of leveraging the collective creative effort of this forum. I feel that a lot of our creative potential is lost here in talking and debating. A much better use of our time would be to work collectively to create the world's greatest database of self-actualization & spirituality resources. As you guys study self-actualization and spirituality you will naturally stumble upon life-changing resources which often go forgotten and unshared. I have been wanting to find a way to channel your guys' expertise and creativity towards some higher purpose. Now we have a new sub-forum dedicate to this purpose. It will be a heavily moderated sub-forum. Please read the Guidelines there before posting. It's important that we maintain a high quality threshold on this sub-forum. https://www.actualized.org/forum/forum/32-high-consciousness-resources/ I look forward to seeing some great contributions. Let me know what you think about this idea.

Good, keep chipping away at it. It will all make sense at some point.

See my book list.

That's simply explained by the fact that you identified strongly with your cat but not your relatives. When you own a small cat it feels like your baby and so you feel much more responsible for it. Remember, the meaning you assign to objects and people is purely relative and imaginary. So if you get attached to a coffee table, you will mourn its loss.

No Insight is the thing that allows you to even know what a defilement is. And insight is what gets you free of defilement. Desire for more insight certainly can become neurotic if you turn it into a rat race sorta thing. But it don't have to be that way. Make a distinction between healthy and unhealthy pursuit of truth and understanding.

LOL You know not what you speak. When psycho-analysis allows you to contact machine elves and communicate with them through multiple dimensions of symbolism and telepathy, or to get direct downloads from the mind of God, or to pull demonic spirits out of a patient's body, then let's talk. Playing violins is kindergarten stuff. You do not understand how psychedelics work. You do not even know what symbols truly are until you do some heavy tripping. To say that psychedelics are a "just a chemical" is a silly as saying that therapy is just a chemical. Everything is chemicals by that logic, including all symbols and your therapist. That therapist is just a soup of chemicals. This sort of selective, reductionist logic is a telltale sign of self-bias. I never said therapy doesn't work. Of course it works. But psychedelics work 1000x faster.

Which is why I say bi-weekly. Tolerance resets after about 10 days. 5-MeO-DMT, N,N-DMT, and DPT have no tolerance at all.

No video. You simply must become conscious of it. Without psychedelics you probably never will.

Not IF. Humans are a hive super-organism just like ants. You don't see it because of self-bias.

If you have to ask "What do you mean by God?" you are not conscious of what God is. Yes, God is Consciousness, but that doesn't mean you're conscious of God. God is God and cannot be reduced to any other insight. God is not anything else but God. The insight of God is very distinctive. You'll know it only when you become it. If you don't know what God is, just be honest with yourself that you don't know, rather than playing mind games.

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.
