@Shaun What happened was: you are God imagining the whole universe. You can imagine whatever worlds you want. Mushrooms expand your possibility to imagine new worlds and become aware of yourself as God. You are barely starting to learn how powerful your God mind is. Everything is your mind. You are all alone dreaming all this stuff up. You cannot die. You have been sitting here imagining shit for all of eternity.

Of course, but taking 5-MeO-DMT as your first psychedelic will be way too much for you to handle. You are likely to scare yourself so hard that you'll never try another psychedelic again. I would suggest the lesser psychedelics first to get your feet wet. Then transition to 5-MeO and don't look back. Getting into psychedelics is a long-term affair. It is not something you do a few times and stop. This will produce no meaningful result. You must gradually but methodically explore the field. It takes a few years of practice just to get your bearings straight and really get to work. Then it becomes the most powerful growth tool imaginable.

Oh yes. 5-MeO-DMT is just superior if you can get it. But other psychedelics are still great. No, not at all. It is possible to become totally omniscient, at least for a while. It is not verbal or rational knowledge. It is hyper-dimensional understanding which just cannot be put into words. It's what you might imagine to be God's knowledge of itself. You literally know how you created the whole universe. But you could never explain it to anyone in words, not even to yourself. Being, understanding, and knowledge all merge into one.

@whatishappeningtome Glad to be of use. I never know if my awakening videos are useful to anyone, since I imagine they sound like the rantings of a madman to those who haven't experienced such things.

Yes, you have to be it. But you CAN create it by smoking some DMT or whatever.

By exploring various states you learn what consciousness is capable of, which helps you understand what it is. Ultimately what you're searching for is a state of total omniscience, where everything is 100% understood. This would be the God state. Imagine that there is a state of consciousness in which you exist as a brick for 1 billion years. Imagine that there is a state of consciousness in which you are alien existing in 11 dimensions. Imagine that there is a state of consciousness in which you exist as all the books ever written by humans. Imagine that there is a state of consciousness in which you exist as the color yellow. Totally wacky stuff like that which is totally impossible from your current state of consciousness.

No First and foremost the state of consciousness is determined by what we call physiology, DNA, and brain chemistry. All of these are relative things, but obviously a lobster has a totally different state of consciousness than a human. It's not just a matter of higher or lower. It's a totally different state. That state actually determines what a lobster is and what it can do. You can think of it like different video game worlds. Each video game has its own unique world which is like one state. You can't map all video games on a single axis.

@Aakash No, not different consciousnesses. There is only 1 consciousness. But it can take an infinite number of states. The state it takes determines how deeply it knows itself. In some states it knows itself totally, in other states its as dumb as doorknob. And everything in between.

Consciousness is technically infinite. It has no limits whatsoever and it can do just about anything. So be careful underestimating it or modeling it. It doesn't even have a beginning or an end. There really isn't an "awakening path", rather there are an infinite number of different ways that consciousness can be and know itself. How deeply can it know itself? I have not hit any upper limit yet. My guess is it can know itself completely, but probably not while also maintaining the human form.

You actually have no idea what the Buddha realized. Imagine that consciousness does not only come in degrees, but is also multi-dimensional. From what I currently understand, you cannot map consciousness on a single axis. There are multiple axes.

Of course they don't. And yet you are stuck with your biology too. You can't be a lobster. Until you can. It's a paradox.

@nowimhere Outdoors tripping is always much riskier. I don't recommend it, even though outside is beautiful.

@Black Monolith It should be pluggable. That's something I hope to verify at some point. The problem with plugging it is that you need a much larger dose than 5-Meo. You're looking at 50-200mg. Probably closer to 100mg+ for a breakthrough dose. That will sting the ass more. But on the plus side, the trip should be a lot smoother and longer. Not those lame 5 minute trips. I would like to hear from anyone who's tried plugging it. What were your results? What was your dose?

You don't know that. As if enlightened people never had sleep problems before? Elitist? Lol Integration is always ongoing. Far more time is spent on integration than on tripping. For every one hour of tripping there's maybe 5 to 20 hours of integration. Some trips take months of integration. It's not a walk in the park. Deep stuff gets surfaced, like psychotherapy at times. - - - - - - - - There's also a possibility that many of you aren't considering: What if the highest levels of awakening can ONLY be reached through 5-MeO-DMT? What if there are levels so high that they cannot be accessed by an unaltered human brain? Don't overlook such a possibility. The Buddha may not be the most enlightened person ever. The fact is you just don't know until you try. There is no reason to expect that the normal human brain can access all dimensions of consciousness possible. It very likely cannot.

Some of my trips even go beyond 60 mins. Sometimes 1h20m. It's beyond good. It's the only way to seriously do this work. You want as much time as possible to bask and contemplate in that glorious nonduality. And it's important to keep your eyes open. - - - - - - It would be awesome if we were able to find a way of extending the trip duration even more. Perhaps some supplement combo could do it. But you have to be extremely careful testing out combos. The wrong combo could be lethal. For example taking 5-MeO-DMT with MAOI is extremely dangerous and should never be done.

The following video is about N,N-DMT, but this guy invented a technique for doing an IV drip of DMT which allows for maintaining a breakthrough plateau for 1-24 hrs! The IV drip method is mentioned at that last 15 minutes of the video. I don't recommend you try this at home. But it should be possible to create an IV drip of 5-MeO-DMT which will keep you in a totally nondual state for many hours while contemplating reality. Again, do not try this at home by yourself. This should only be done in a laboratory. But imagine a future in which you could go down to your local clinic and get a 24 hour infusion of 5-MeO-DMT. That will be the most powerful tool for enlightenment ever. Liquid Buddha Infusion << trademark Actualized.org 2019

@nowimhere That's true, plugging will use up more substance faster. But also each trips lasts much longer, so I feel that's a worthwhile trade-off. I don't mind spending 25-50% more substance for a smooth 1 hour trip vs a jerky 10 min trip. 1 hour breakthroughs are fucking AMAZING!

We are not really in disagreement. I understand what you're pointing at. I think we are just stating the same thing in different ways. I don't advocate devilsh behavior.

That is what I'm attempting to demonstrate. Let's see if it works. So far my ego has definitely been significantly reshaped after 35 trips. But also I don't feel a need to take 5-MeO as often as you describe. That would be overkill. My hypothesis is YES. But I'm willing to be proven wrong. That is the nature of scientific investigation. Martin Ball claims to have done it. So if you believe him, that would be 1 point of corroboration. The real problem is this: even if I succeed in doing it, who will believe me? Virtually no one. I will be called a deluded charlatan. You see, science is not as easy as people think. It's a marketing problem and a culture war problem more so than a problem of digging up raw data. Digging up the raw data is the easy part. Convincing the mainstream to accept it as truth is the hard part. How many Buddhists will denounce me for using 5-MeO-DMT? Many. A Buddhists are usually the most tolerant ones.

What I said is simply the case. At the highest level, no wrong can be done. Of course I don't recommend you go around murdering people. But if you do, that will be okay too. That is literally the highest form of love. In the end all evil is you own creation. So you might as well love it. I am not a Buddhist and I do not recognize moral norms because they are ultimately delusions. Yes, what I am speaking of here is the Absolute "perspective" so to speak. Relatively we obey laws to produce a livable society. Yes, Absolute Love is black & white by its very nature. There is zero room for not-love. Perhaps you have not become conscious of Absolute Love? It's a radical thing. It does not hold back for Buddhist moral norms. Remember, when you see the Buddha, kill him

That's just style.

No. This is terrible and sloppy analysis. With this kind of analysis the devils will exploit you since you're simplistically splitting everything down the middle and assuming symmetries which are actually asymmetrical. Republicans and Democrats are not just two sides of the same coin. Democrats are more conscious, more openminded, more Spirally developed, and less corrupt. This is very important to understand. This doesn't mean Democrats don't have flaws. They do. But Republicans have way bigger flaws. This needs to be acknowledged, otherwise you end up with a false equivalency which maintains an evil status quo. The midpoint between pro-slavery and anti-slavery positions is still slavery. A proper analysis of slavery must conclude that all slavery be abolished. Which can seem like a radical position. But of course "radical" is totally relative. You make some good points. I worry that Warren may cave to more centrist, status quo forces. The system will try to co-opt her. I don't worry so much about that happening with Bernie. Yes, it sure can seem that way from your POV. Again, don't confuse consciousness and Truth for neutrality or weakness. Conscious people are capable of taking bold and decisive action which may seem crazy to those who are unconscious or part of the status quo. Conscious leaders can be radicals. Which does not make them fundamentalists. They just have a higher vision than the rest of society can see. First they mock you, then they slander you, then they try to kill you, and finally, 200 years later, they accept everything you said as obvious and moral, worshiping you as a prophet and saint. I am not moralistic at all. You are feel to kill whoever you want. You will still be loved by God. Nothing you do is wrong in any way. The moralistic one is you because you believe in good and bad, right and wrong, and you judge your own wickedness. My political discussions are purely pragmatic. In the absolute sense politics doesn't matter at all. The whole planet can die and it will be just fine. But not from the ego's POV. So we are really talking about how to create a better world for egos.

The way it worked is like this: I started testing oxalate and freebase. When testing new substances I always start very conservative and low. So I told myself, "Okay, 1 scoop should be half the usual dose and will probably be disappointing and weak, but I should err on the side of caution." So that's what I did, but I had two of the most powerful trips of my life. So I'm very glad I started out conservative because otherwise it would have been way too much. The lesson is this: When doing psychedelics always err on the conservative side. If you dose is too low, nothing bad will happen. At worst you'll just lose some time. But if you overshoot, the risks are very high. So it's worth being very, very careful and conservative. Which is exactly the opposite of what most psychonauts do. They often sloppily eyeball a 50mg dose without even bothering to buy a scale and shoot it with 2 beers, nachos, and a joint at a crowded movie theater. And that's when shit hits the fan. Don't be that guy! Be clinical with your dosing.

This is a true of the entire spiritual path. The trips are just part of that path and the more one does the more one develops nuance and stability. Just like with any spiritual practice. Not sure what you refer to with your "black & white" remark.

Of course it does. Because it threatens your survival. Anything that threatens your survival you will label as evil. You cannot help it.
