It would be too hot for you guys to handle

@docs20 It's just mantra meditation. You can pick any random mantra and use it to meditate. Here, I'll give you a free mantra you can use which will be as good as any other: "rum lum da, rum lum da" There you go! Now repeat it mindfully a million times. That's all mantra meditation is. You will get better results with Kriya yoga and it's free.

That's not entirely correct. Goodness beats out badness. Badness only arises when one isn't conscious enough and resists. So it's not just random. As you become more God-like and pure, the bad trips will become less and less frequent. Of course it's important not to overdose or trip in the wrong settings. Taking 10 grams of mushrooms at a noisy music festival is a recipe for hell. The best way to trip is with small and moderate doses. Until you're very comfortable there. I have a feeling that 90% of all problematic trips could be eliminated simply by dosing lower and sitting in a quiet safe space free of people. Simply do not take high doses of anything. It's stupid and it will not grow you as much. Only take what you can handle. 1-2g of mushrooms or 125ug of LSD is plenty for most people. Spend a couple of years working those doses and getting all the growth you can from them. People who take 5g of mushrooms or 400ug of LSD are being foolish. So of course they end up getting wrecked.

Good government already assumes protections for individual liberties. You speak as if government is some kind of totalitarian enterprise. That's not good government at all. Good government delicately balances between individualism vs collectivism & freedom vs limitation. It does not take ideological or absolutist stances on either side. Individual liberties are only possible through mutually agreed upon and self-imposed limitations. For example, you are not free to own a nuclear weapon because if such a liberty were allowed then all humans would be dead, thus ending all liberties for everyone. You are also not free to discharge a firearm in an airplane for obvious reasons. The problem with the libertarian philosophy is that: A) it is purely a philosophy and disconnected from real life, and B) it is an ideological position of freedom absolutism. Absolutist positions do not work. They are a form of fundamentalism. Here you have a case of free market fundamentalism. So libertarianism is actually a kind of religion with all of the problems religions creates, just in a secular vein. If you notice the way in which libertarians defend themselves, it's very similar to how radical Muslims defend themselves. The mental gymnastics are similar.

@Meditationdude Those sorts of decisive moments will arise in running any business long enough. You just gotta take them in stride and keep your eye on the ball -- your larger vision. Why can't you run your business from another location? Why can't you follow the code? This is an opportunity for you to take your business to the next level, make it more professional. Your anxiety is understandable, but it's also clouding your vision, so don't stew in it for too long. If you build your business properly it should not be so fragile to be tanked by one code violation. Even if this business ends up failing, remember, that's just valuable experience for building your next, even better business. So hang in there. When it becomes to business you gotta be persistent like a python strangling its prey. Yes, life will get really hard at times. Have you considered renting a small office? They can be very affordable.

It seems some people have a serious immunity to it. Like it just fails to work on them. Very odd. Hope you guys can figure out why that is. You might need to try smoking/vaping it.

@Rigel Even your bad trip has value, not to mention the good ones. Give it a week, you'll feel better. Let it pass. It sounds like you were shown some deep truths which you were not ready to stomach so you resisted it. That's all material which must be worked through. That IS the real spiritual path. Before you reach the rainbows and butterflies you must face your inner demons. Mushrooms are a twisted and mischievous substance. Might want to try something more straightforward next time like AL-LAD. And lower your doses.

Of course it's not straight forward. By design. Otherwise you couldn't experience what it's like to have a human POV. The deeper question is, why would you care to escape it? The way your question is framed it assumes that escape is better than not-escape. But this is only true if you think it is. God escapes itself, then it returns to itself. Since it has nowhere to go, since it is in all places at once. Liberation is to realize that there is nowhere to go, nowhere to escape because all places are equally good. So long as you think that one place or state is better than another, you will suffer and seek to change your state. To be liberated is to be surrendered to whatever state happens to arise, seeing the perfection of them all. If you try to cling to any one state, including formlessness, it becomes a problem. You can't escape the totality of what you are.

Well, obviously, since that's basically what enlightenment is. You'd have to sit and concentrate on nothingness for many thousands of hours. Or do decades of yoga. Yoga is basically a method for naturally producing 5-MeO-DMT or its equivalent. Dark room retreats are another method. Long fasts are another method. Shamanic breathing is another method. All these techniques are designed to change your state of consciousness.

@ColdFacts It's not a belief. And your ability to carry God's love is so limited because you are a devil.

@hikmatshiraliyev How do you know the brain is true? The point is to investigate. This is a truth-seeking project. You have to want to sift through everything to get to the bottom line. Warning: that is not the same as armchair skepticism or cynicism. Sitting around and doubting stuff via an online forum is not genuine truth-seeking, it's a distraction.

Absolute Infinity. Nothing beyond it. Since it is ALL.

Your mistake is thinking of life as bondage. It only is if you think of it as such. Imagine a kid is sitting there enjoying playing his video game and you come up and tell him, "But what's the point of all this dying and suffering?! Let's turn it off this bondage." The problem is not with the kid, but with you. Bondage is a way of looking at the world, not a fact of the world. It can be exciting to know that you will get to live many different lives, experiencing the world in many different ways. One day you will be born on Mars. That will be a cool life. One day you will get to be the Pharoh of Egypt. That will be cool. One day you will get to be a bald eagle soaring through the sky. That will be cool. Etc. It's all cool from God's POV. Even the "bad" stuff. The key is to adopt God's POV.

Look, this is a highly personal matter. Your trips will be very different from mine. So my experiences are not a good point of reference. My first trip I had a panic attack. In the end, no of that matters. Just minor obstacles.

If America was truly libertarian we would all be dead or enslaved. In fact, you would never have been born. That is what you don't understand. There is a very good reason why no nation in human history has ever been libertarian. Because it would be pure hell. In fact, it simply could not be suatained for more than a few decades before it collapsed. If you want a libertarian lifestyle the closest thing would be moving to Somalia. You're welcome to move there.

If you eliminate much of the ego, God will speak to you all the time. The only obstacle to talking to God is you! Purify yourself first.

You don't have to give up experience to be liberated. Experience is nirvana, is infinity. You just need to be more conscious of what experience really is. Liberation is NOW, NOW, NOW! Find it in the NOW or you won't ever find it.

I have been in that place. Form does not have to stop being created for total liberation. Form is perfect however it is. How can you be liberated if you need form to stop?

Be careful! That is merely your assumption. Many people have died and returned. You can't understand the answer from your current state of consciousness. You must awaken first.

Surely it must have. I don't get much ego backlash from 5-MeO. It's sorta like a walk in the park after 35 trips. This really depends on you. It will vary so much. For me, I feel like God coming back to human form. But yet still God. Sometimes it's disappointing that I cannot be on a 5-MeO peak 24/7 because that would be the ultimate. It usually feels liberating. Yes, old survival patterns reinstate themselves quickly. Your work then becomes to observe them and let them go.

@Key Elements Of course there's much else. Reality can be explored to infinity. The exploration of it will never end. I talk about many things besides enlightenment.

Don't forget, you are God. So you can talk to yourself any time you like

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. LOL

Ahahahaha.... Silly libertarian...

Nothing and Everything are identical. There are many degrees of realizing this. It's not that you're realizing anything totally new, but you're going deeper and deeper down the same rabbit hole, realizing God more and more and more until finally you hit total omniscience. The highest truth is not nothingness. It is that you are God and you have direct consciousness of how you are creating the entire universe -- every last grain of sand on every beach in the universe. To somehow separate nothingness from form is actually a shallow level of nondual realization. There are much deeper levels. All of this, and more, 5-MeO-DMT can show you effortlessly. These are levels of consciousness which even the highest spiritual masters rarely attained. At these levels of consciousness you are literally God. You are the creator of all spiritual masters. Your power and authority is total, singular, and absolute. No teacher can teach you anything at this level because you have become all teachers, and more. This level of consciousness is completely unspeakable and unimaginable. And yet it is the ultimate truth. I hope one day ya'll reach it. But I wouldn't bet money on it unless you're doing lots of 5-MeO-DMT.
