@Space Then get an earlier version on Ebay. I refuse to upgrade to Windows 10 because Microsoft are being assholes about it.

@Source_Mystic If you take mushrooms today, and then again tomorrow, tomorrow's trip will be severely reduced due to a built up tolerance. It takes 10 days for the tolerance to gradually return to zero. Which means you shouldn't trip more than once a week on them.

@kieranperez I have dozens and maybe even hundreds of categories which are specific to my needs. Your needs will be totally different.

@Space Of course I don't rely on any stupid OneDrive. Just buy a copy of MS Office. It includes OneNote which runs on your PC/Mac. You can buy older versions on Ebay if you want to save money.

@egoless Stay tuned and see.

Of course they are good.

@Samuel Garcia I think you just require a lot more practice. It takes YEARS for the monkey chatter to calm down.

@egoless I leave up to the viewer to judge whether I'm brain damaged or not

Categories You can also have a category for daily stuff.

@egoless Mushrooms have roughly a 10 day tolerance window. Most psychedelics do. MDMA is much worse and quickly burns out entirely.

@Adam M No, but meditation and yoga commonly gets that way with deep practice. Whatever happens, the advice almost always is just basically: keep on going, don't get distracted by phenomena, don't quit your practice. The mind tends to resist this entire process like a hooked fish getting pulled ashore.

Digital is best because it will grow VERY large over time and you want search functions, categorizing functions, and formatting functions. Microsoft OneNote is perfect.

@Whoami3 Yes, I consider those safe. As long as you actually are consuming the pure chemical in question, and not some fake.

The situation is very grime for most people. 1/3rd of Americans are at the poverty line. Most people have serious problems with sleeping, fucking, working, consuming, and not giving a fuck. Most people works jobs they hate, barely paying the bills, and can barely get laid, as we see with all these sexual abuse cases in the news. People go to deperate measures to get laid. I would bet that 90%+ people haven't ever read a self-help book in their lives. Which means they have no hope of really growing themselves in the right direction.

@cena655 Vision, vision, vision! You need to find the right vision for your life. And it must be BIG to make the pain of breaking out of your rut worthwhile.

@Gabriel Antonio Very cool. What country is that in?

@Source_Mystic Yup

@Sevi I don't remember how he calls it. Email and ask him. Tell him you specifically want to do dyad work. The interview was not supposed to be released. Please don't share it here.

A) Self-inquiry isn't really about thinking. The thinking portion of it is mostly to get the mind looking silently in the right direction. Advanced forms of self-inquiry involve no thinking, or very little thinking. B) It actually IS possible to think your way into enlightenment. The way that works is, you think until the mind suddenly thinks a thought which sends into an unexpected tailspin straight into The Void. Sort of like when you're talking to a friend about something and then you suddenly realize you left your kitchen stove on. You get this shocking "Oh fuck!!!" moment. C) Thinking can also exhaust itself. After lots of thinking, the mind gets tired and surrenders to non-thinking. D) As you get better at self-inquiry, it will start to look more and more like meditation, and vice versa.

If you don't desire to know the truth, then even God cannot help you. You have been shown the path to Goodness, but you insist on being evil. So be it.

@egoless You don't have to be enlightened to see that evil is a conceptual fabrication. I realized that when I was like 12 years old. Just think about it and it's quite obvious. Evil is just whatever you point to and say "evil". Stop sitting on your ass, and start contemplating. You can grasp this point in one day's work. Just be openminded and be willing to drop your ideological positions. All you have to do is sit down in silence and ask yourself, "Okay, what is this thing I call evil? What is it actually?"

Yes, you can do dyads, which are very powerful. See Peter Ralston's workshops for that. And he has his ENB workshop in digital form specifically for dyad work. It's pricey but worth it if you're serious. Or you can go to an Enlightenment Intensive (EI) around the world, which are all 100% dyads, all day long.

No, you're still stuck on this whole notion of "being a good person." This is an illusion. Just because you have deep compassion, doesn't mean you won't harm anyone. Life works on death. You cannot live without killing and harming millions of things. It is IMPOSSIBLE! For you to exist means someone else doesn't exist, just by the very fact that you are you and not them! The only true solution here is to accept death. And then see what results. The paradox is: in trying to be a good person, you actually commit evil. In stopping trying to be good, you obliterate evil and live happily ever after. Not because you cause no harm, or defeat all the evil people in the world, but because you realize that "evil" was just a projection of your mind, and in defeating yourself, you have finally stopped projecting it, thus eliminating all the evil in the world in one fell swoop. But rape still happens. It's just no longer evil any more. In the same way that if a fly lands on your arm, you take no personal offense. You don't call the fly names. You don't call it evil. You don't get angry at it. You don't wage a war against it. You just admire it for what it is: a curious little fly sitting on your arm. How can it harm you if you already don't exist?

When you're conscious, you are more apt to see how your actions create needless suffering in others. And you have a deep compassion for everything, because you understand why ignorance exists and how challenging it is to cure. Nonetheless, you don't see anything as bad or wrong. Reality is 100% perfect. All the rapists and things which you presently see a problems to be eliminated, you will understand are absolutely integral to the functioning of this reality, and couldn't be any other way. Reality is so absolutely PERFECT, you will not understand it until you wake up.

Bro, that was exactly me. I was a super-logical IT-like guy (I still am for the most part). But pickup will correct that in you. That's the whole point! With practice, you will learn to let loose, have more fun, be more jokey, more emotional, more irrational, more like a girl. As Adam Lyon's said it best: "All pickup does is make you more into a girl." And you won't lose your rationality either. You will be able to flip it on and off like faucet. Rational here, irrational there, as the situation demands.
