You lucky fucking communists!

@Matt8800 Have you met machine elves on DMT?

Awakening is not normative. You are not obligated to awaken. Awakening is not better than not awakening. So yes, Trump will not awaken, but there is no one in the universe to say that is wrong. In fact God loves Trump just as much as the Buddha. It is us humans who judge Trump because it affects our survival and we are self-biased in that sense. So we can rightly kick Trump out of office, but that has nothing to do with him being bad in any absolute sense. It is a relative matter.

@Extreme Z7 I was talking about philosophy degrees. A Masters or PhD in engineering is much more functional. Philosophy in particular is not meant to be studied in a university. This preverts the whole point of philosophy. If you want to do serious philosophy, get yourself a bag of mushrooms and DMT and start doing yoga.

You are projecting your own ego all over the place here. Just notice that. You are thinking with your dick.

It can help you get to solid Orange and introduce you to some Green concepts. But once you exhaust Orange and go solid Green you'll want to let RSD go.

Hard to say. Scandinavia has a strong Christian influence. That certainly plays a role.

That's the kicker! No one. Whatever you imagine is what goes.

Why? It will mostly be a waste of time. You can grow far better on your own and save the the money. The only reason for a masters or PhD is if you want to be university professor. It serves no other function and it certainly won't help you understand Truth.

We are not going to be discussing extraction methods or creation methods on this forum. Remember that extraction and creation puts you into a whole nother category of legal problems. You will be treated as a drug dealer, not merely a recreational user. So do not go this route. If you are living with your parents you should not be doing this stuff at all. Be careful and don't fuck up your life.

That's exactly right. Damage and suffering is relative. According to you Hitler caused damage. According to Hitler he was improving the world.

MAOI + 5-MeO-DMT can be lethal. Never do that.

@Bodigger Stephen Paddock fatally shot 58 and injured 422 people in Las Vegas, 2 miles from where I live, using a bump stock and an arsenal of over 20 weapons, plus another 19 weapons found at his home. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Paddock Just think about that.

@Donald Of course psychedelics will never be legalized in places below stage Green. Psychedelics are far too threatening to all worldviews below Green. America, Canada, and Northern Europe should lead the charge. Once it's proven to work there, other countries will gradually open up.

Okay, I think this horse has been beaten long enough.

@whoareyou I told him it's dangerous and I don't recommend mixing psychedelics & SSRIs.

@SriBhagwanYogi Congrats! Although there's probably more.

This is an important topic. Medically, psychedelics like MDMA and mushrooms will soon be approved by the FDA for clinical use. This will happen within the next 5-10 years. Weed legalization is important toward the ultimate legalization of psychedelics, so we need more states legalizing recreational weed, and we really need a federal legalization of weed. This might happen within the next 5-15 years. And then we just need the most progressive states like California, Oregon, Washington, NY, etc. to start legalizing mushrooms & LSD. This should start to happen in the next 5-20 years.

See, even Sadhguru understands Spiral Dynamics basically.

I did not work on the 1st Bioshock game. I worked on the sequel: Bioshock Infinite.

I would actually make a terrible president.

It's not so simple. Adhering to moral precepts is part of the path. It's hard to reach satori if one is a devil. Hard, but not impossible. And it's hard to live in alignment with satori if one doesn't adhere to some moral precepts. Basically the moral precepts serve as training wheels. Even when doing psychedelics, your trips won't go very deep unless your mind is pure enough. Giving psychedelics to a guy like Donald Trump will not result in his realization of Buddha nature because his mind is too impure. First his actions would have to change. He'd have to stop lying, stealing, cheating, manipulating, etc. Or at the very least cut back on them. Of course enlightenment does not require adhering to anything. It is total liberation. But in practice you'll never reach it unless you make an effort to be less egotistical. A spiritual shift is also an ethical & moral shift. If you complain that people are devils after enlightenment, just try to imagine how big of devils they would have been without it. The mistake here is expecting some kind of perfect moral actions from people. This is not possible because morality is relative. Zizek likes to moralize without acknowledging that his moralizations are constructed by his own mind. If you are digusted by Nazis and Stalanists, it's not because they are inherently disgusting, it's because your mind is doing it out of survival drive. That is a self-bias Zizek's mind projects onto reality. Zizek seems to hold people like Nazi's as an absolute evil or wrong-doing, but that it is not Truth. That's not how a Nazi looks after satori. Perfection is not something one achieves through good moral actions. Perfection is already the case. All one needs to do is attain satori to see it.

@ethanb121 I don't smoke it so I don't know.

Of course this will depend on you. Some people love to yell. Personally I never feel the need to yell. For me it's too profound for yelling. Silence is golden. The best idea if you have roommates is to rent a cheap motel room for the trip. You can probably find a room for $40 on the outskirts of town.
