That is extremely stupid. DO NOT DO THAT! Giving psychedelics to friends is a bad idea the first place. Let alone 5-MeO. Let alone 30mg. Start with 10mg if you must. If you can't do it properly, then don't do it.

@zikzak Right. Although 28mg is a crazy dose regardless.

@egoless She is not into spirituality or Truth. She just tripped a few times.

I haven't used 5-MeO in nearly a year. I've been using other lesser psychedelics and having trips almost as deep as 5-MeO. One of the reasons I wanted to test other psychedelics is because most of you guys will never be able to access 5-MeO. I have found other great psychedelics which are more accessible and as good for consciousness work. Raw power is not necessarily best for consciousness work. Also, my breakthrough 5-MeO experience from a year ago was so epic and deep that I needed a long time to fully integrate it. Only now do I feel read to return to it, after many smaller trips which have developed my foundation and ability to surrender. Also, at this point, I have complete ego loss on even very small doses of almost any psychedelic. The 5-MeO isn't really necessary for me any more. All of my trips, even the light ones, are profound beyond words. And I have other psychedelics which I enjoy more than 5-MeO. In some ways, the less experience you have with enlightenment the better. Then you can just fully be open to whatever the psychedelics have to show you. But this isn't always true. It depends on the person. My gf was very openminded about it, and just willing to surrender, which is all that is really required. But many people cannot do this. Prior to her breakthrough dose, she had done one light mushroom trip, one moderate dose of AL-LAD, and one small dose of 5-MeO. That was enough of an introduction to handle 28mg of 5-MeO successfully. But of course, that won't be true for all people. In fact, I think most people would be totally unable to handle 28mg of 5-MeO. It would be traumatic experience for many people. You need to ramp yourself up very gradually starting from 10mg (snorted).

@AleksM Okay, once again I have reactivated the old system. Hurry up. This is your last chance guys.

The forum is getting a little bit of improvements. The biggest of which is a new bookmarking system. The old bookmarking tool was quite bugged. I'm not sure if anyone used it. The new bookmarking tool looks very similar, but has no bugs and gives you additional options. To bookmark a post, click the "Bookmark" text link under any post. You will then have options for categorizing your bookmark, adding notes, and the option to make your bookmarks public or private. All your bookmarks are stored under: Your Username >> My Bookmarks People can see a list of your publicly visible bookmarks on your profile page. P.S. The old bookmarking system has been removed, killing any bookmarks you may have made. If you had any important bookmarks there which you really want back, I can temporarily re-active the old system for you to transfer your old stuff. I'm not sure how many people were using it. So let me know if you really need it back. If I reactivate the old system, you will then have about 1 week to transfer any bookmarks you want, after which point it will be gone forever. The new system is much better. I'm excited to have folks using it. Notice 11/21/2017: The new bookmarking system has been temporary deactivated so that people can retrieve info from the old system. DO NOT make any new bookmarks right now, because this is the old system. Notice 11/23/2017: The new bookmarking system has been re-activated. Notice 11/24/2017: Once again the old system has been reactivated so people can save all their old bookmarks. This is your last chance. The old and new system look similar on the surface. How you can tell them apart is: the old system's bookmarks are stored in: Your Username >> Bookmarks while the new system's bookmarks are stored in: Your Username >> My Bookmarks

I have described it to death. But what good did that do you?

@The White Belt By your silly logic enlightenment would be impossible because there would always have to be someone who discovers it first, without any teachers or books.

Okay, the new bookmarking system has been re-activated.

@Mr Being Can't you have that discussion in the Life Purpose sub-forum? Just try to have it without posting course content. Many people have been asking questions there without revealing too much.

Here's a good-looking course on Sacred Geometry by a Freemason: http://sacredgeometryinternational.com/sacred-geometry-classeslevels-1-3 Someone try it and post a review.

Of course. For most people there is no way at all. Which is why so few are enlightened. If suffering is your path, that's fine with me.

Yes, of course. Infinity plays the role of many fools. It's hard to create a universe without fools. God himself couldn't do it

On his deathbed the Buddha said: "Listen closely my disciples. I have strived so hard to overcome death, but I have failed, because I did not have access to internet."

@egoless You are over-generalizing. I bet you haven't even met 5 enlightened people in your life. Rather than speculating about nonsense, go do the work. This sloppy way of thinking and speculating about reality is the whole problem. You are wrapped up in mental fictions.

A fool will only learn through suffering. The reason most people do anything is because they want to escape suffering. Anything from losing wieght to buying a new computer. The key to life is to be conscious enough to motivate yourself into action without life having to kick you in the ass. I was never depressed. I do this work because it's the most beautiful thing to do. For me, understanding reality is the greatest reward of being alive. Nothing else compares. And this has nothing to do with escaping suffering. You need to learn how to change from negative to positive motivation. Otherwise your life will be miserable and mediocre. Doing the bare minimum is not how life ought to be lived. Living to escape suffering is just so boring. If that was my life, I would rather kill myself. You have this INFINITE creation to take part in, and all you can imagine to do is live to escape suffering???

I would never be accepted in the scientific community. I would be called a psuedo-scientific, creationist quack who is trying to use science to backwards-rationalize his religious dogmas. That's not a game that can be won in that way.

Stop all this nonsense and go self-inquire. You're wasting time.

All the work we're doing here. All the stuff talked about my the videos, LP course, etc.

@Nahm What's interesting about Life Below Zero is that even though those people live isolated, their lives are basically identical to the average mediocre lifestyle: 24/7 survival mode. Surviving in NY or in Alaska is the exact same fundamental thing. Survival is relentless, no matter where and how you do it. Those people are still clueless about nonduality. Yes, being out in nature is nice and refreshing, but nonduality is far superior, and it doesn't matter where you do it. You can do it in a giant city.

@AleksM However you like. You can maybe just save the URLs? The new bookmarking system will have XML export of bookmarks, so that in the future you can download all your bookmarks easily.

Mainstream science is a cultural construct. That's what I'm talking about. Of course individual scientists can vary from the average. Yes, of course there are a handful of wise scientists around. Although surprising few. Even David Bohm didn't really grasp it. I know of very few scientists who really understand the nature of reality, metaphysics, or epistemology. Science is simply NOT that kind of activity. Science's focus is elsewhere.

I don't even recall what I said in that episode. I shoot and write down so many insights they are impossible to remember logically. Everything gets integrated into my mind, but I can't necessarily recall it in an instant on demand. Yes, I'm sure many more things could be added to that list. All my lists are just tips of the iceberg usually. I could make those lists 100 items long, but the videos are long enough already. Always. All my advice is to my current self, past self, or future self. I am not above you guys. What you see in the videos is just my thought process, which is always evolving. Every video I shoot becomes outdated the very next day for me, because just by shooting it and reading your guys comments, I already discover my errors and ignorance on the subject, deepening and refining my prior insights. We shall see how things unfold. I am just a vehicle of infinite intelligence. I will do what it beckons me to do. Sure, if that helps you feel warm and fuzzy After enlightenment your genitals wither away Currently my morning routine is nothing fancy. I'll probably improve it in the future and post a video about it. Psychedelics & contemplation. Of course it's a good idea. You will go super-deep. It's really the only way one should trip. And my "meditate" I simply mean: sit and observe without moving. No techniques. Just be conscious and fully alert without distractions. I listen to and read everything under the sun, from nonduality to evolutionary theory to brain science to cosmology. I have dozens of favorite teachers, but I am loyal to none of them. I'm sort of a nonduality slut Not very deeply. I don't see the point of getting deep into the scriptures and such. That would be a distraction. A general understanding is good enough for our purposes here. You can easily waste years studying that stuff without actually becoming conscious of what is being talked about. Yes, I would like to do a dark room retreat at some point. Hard to find the time. I have done float tank once. I didn't find it helpful. In the time it takes me to drive there and shower, I can already be tripping balls at home. Noises and sensations are not something that bothers me in meditation. They are all good things to meditate upon. If anything, I find the float tank to be a distraction because of the weird sensation of being in this foreign capsule of salty water. I don't see the point of it. Yes, I do want to travel to India at some point.

@Monkey-man That's probably an authentic indicator of your LP. The problem is that you're going about it wrong. The desire is genuine and good, but preaching to friends and family is an ineffective strategy. You don't want to teach to people who don't care about your teaching. You want to teach to people who are primed and care deeply. So then the issue becomes: How do I find those people? And that's where you sit down and strategize like a motherfucker to find them. None of my friends or family care about enlightenment or personal development. I don't preach to them. I preach to you guys. There are millions of people who will listen. But you have to get off your lazy ass and find them. Don't expect them to just land in your lap. A teacher is a leader. You lead by sharing a better vision of the world with people until they buy into it. For that, you need a better vision. See my How To Be A Leader video. And as a leader, you will have to work very hard before you get people listening to you. You have to offer something a great value. Which is where a clear sense of life purpose comes in. You will not get far in this project unless you're clear that it's your life purpose. Because the work will be too great. The only way to survive the work is to have a sense of mission about it. For me, teaching is my LIFE's mission. It's not a question of, will anyone listen? It's a matter of: I will do this even if it kills me. With this kind of attitude, you will find a way to get your message heard. If you're just toying around, it won't happen. You're not going to become a popular teacher by accident.

@Joseph Maynor Yes, of course. The longer you live, the more culture and society will infect your mind with their nonsense ideas, until the point where you forget what it was like to be authentic. Society beats passion and authenticity out of people. That is the whole function of society! It's a mechanism to fabricate a consensus reality through lies and willful ignorance. It can be very helpful to think back to how you were when you were a child. If you had a decent/good childhood, you will have memories of being more conscious back then than you are now. Reconnect with those old memories to lift yourself out of your current low-consciousness funk. The education system especially robs kids of their authenticity. Think back to what you desired before all your educating. That was the real you. P.S. If you had a traumatic childhood, ignore this advice. That was NOT the real you, that was a low-consciousness ego defense.
