User @outlandish suggested we start a 5-meo mega-thread, as people seem to have lots of general questions about it. You can still create your own individual threads about 5-meo, and trip reports shouldn't be posted in this thread, but otherwise, consider this the place for general 5-meo discussion. Here's a link to Erowid's 5-MeO-DMT Vault, which has a lot of basic information. Note: Do not ask questions here about how to source psychedelics. That is against our Forum Guidelines, so it will be deleted.

Dude, you are mixing up unrelated things. Purifying your mind is very different from having magic powers to bend the laws of physics. There is no contradiction here at all. I don't even understand how you can equate these things. You can desire whatever, doesn't mean you should get it. There are many things which humans cannot physically do and no amount of Awakening will change that. However, you can stop being a liar or a predator.

What I am you cannot even imagine.

Yes Normal trip It wasn't gradual. But I did many days of 5-MeO.

Shamans are epistemic perverts.

I spent years creating and buying domain names. Not for Actualized but beforehand. So I had a lot of experience selecting names by then.

Connor Murphy has joined the chat. Lol

If you give an ape psychedelics he might see God, but then he will go back to being an ape. It won't turn him into a sage.

It is a pain to change so choose it well the first time. But since you are just playing around, don't overthink it. Better to have something than nothing. If you are running a proper business you want to a firm and solid name.

It was very painful. My head was on fire for months. I also lost brain functions.

Yes. Lack of depth often leads to misunderstanding and flat out wrong conclusions. It it possible to have an Awakening but then get very deluded about it. As a Christian might do. Because they don't have the epistemic foundation. I am not going to waste my time micro-analyzing Christian ontology. They don't deserve that much respect because they are epistemic perverts to begin with. Of course my view includes that humans are incoherent.

Naturalistic fallacy. Bufo is literally a nasty toxin.

That's right. Of course I understand God better than any fucking Christian. Because if you understood God you wouldn't be a Christian. Can I prove it to you? No. You will understand I was right once you sufficiently Awaken. And it could not be otherwise.

That's merely a function of depth. If your Awakening is shallow you remain a person, if it is deep you become God. By definition, Union is Identity. You can't be in union with God but not identical to God. The Christian position is logically incoherent and cluess of what Union and Identity are. Again, this is merely a function of depth, not any fundamental disagreement. This is a debate over minutia. My view includes and transcends the Christian view because my consciousness is deeper.

@OBEler Thanks for sharing. That is good info.

Good question. I don't know. What happens when you give an ape a psychedelic? Yes Seeing Reality as it is.

The YouTube recommendations algorithm keeps getting worse and worse, suggesting shallow crap. We need to crowd-source this problem. Let's begin keeping a list of the best, unknown YouTube channels. I'm always looking for high-quality channels related to philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, history, documentaries, geography, travel, etc. I'm looking for serious channels with mature people who talk about mature subjects. Not drama, not culture wars, not clickbait, not entertainment. Channels with interesting, high-quality content. Channels that are educational and add to our understanding of the world. These channels usually have fewer subscribers, less popular. If you know of such channels, if you find new channels of this kind, please share them here. When you share the link, please write a few words about what the channel is about and why it's worth watching. I will share the best of these suggestions on my blog as well. Thank you. Examples of the kind of channels I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDissenterRL/videos https://www.youtube.com/@WHATISPOLITICS69/videos https://www.youtube.com/@SoftWhiteUnderbelly/videos https://www.youtube.com/@thestoa/videos https://www.youtube.com/@IntegralNaked/videos https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkReligion/videos

Like what? Everything I say covers Christian mystics and transcends them. Dude, you can't get around this issue. There is no authority outside of you. This isn't a bug. You are looking for an external source of Truth, which cannot exist. Anyone can claim to be right. And only you can know who is truly right. Some will have a deeper consciousness and understanding than others. You will only know to the depth of your own consciousness. How do you know which mathematician is the best? By becoming the best one yourself and knowing it is you.

The Holy Grail is Infinite Love. You been watching to much Indiana Jones.

Where did you research it? What did it say? I don't have an explanation.

I found the Holy Grail.

Habit? I don't want to take it. It is too potent. I have to force myself to use it.

Those differences are relatively minor and relate to issues of depth. God/Truth/Love/Infinity should be affirmed by any proper mystic. If not, they are self-deceived. There is no non-question-begging way at this level of depth. Infinity is Absolute Truth. You can have various perspectives on Infinity. You can have a lot of shallow views of Infinity. You can have many partial aspects of Inifnity.

THC is up there.

Look, it's not complicated. You can have hundreds of different kinds of Awakenings. Techncially every Awakening is a unique state of consciousness. However, this doesn't contradict anything I say. God/Truth/Love/Inifinity remains true for everyone. You are getting various angles on the same elephant. People are arguing over minutia.
