4-AcO-DMT is superior IMO.

It's not a problem. Focus instead on the fact that you found a great wife. You can appreciate a church without having to follow any of its dogma. Look at it this way: You are God so that church was built to honor you Stop worrying and enjoy the show. It's not like you lose anything by being in a church for a few hours. A church is a fine place for a ceremony like a wedding. Having a wedding in a courtroom is pretty lame.

Stop this.

You shouldn't drink tap water even from 1st world countries. There is no such thing as safe tap water.

I am disappointed in the consistently low quality, misogynistic and biased stuff some of you men post here on the regular. You whine about women without any self-awareness.

Most pscychedelics can show you that. Not just 5-MeO.

Cheers!

They have charged him with multiple serious crimes.

Do not make a mockery of this forum.

@Holykael Banned. I have warned you enough times about the endless negativity you spread.

I don't frame it that way. I frame it all as mind. Mind can be immature or mature. Mind can become more evolved and more self-aware, which leads to more compassion.

As I said, even most things with brains do not pursue the understanding of reality.

Weak is def worse, which is why those people are locked in prison and the others are not.

What's your point?

Yeah, well, life is a dream. So what? The power of the dream should not be underestimated. If you think awakened people can't get addictions I think you're kidding yourself. You still have to be vigilant against bad habits otherwise you will end up like Alan Watts, an awakened alcoholic who drinks himself to death. Awakening is not a get-out-of-jail-free card.

God/Infinity is inescapably unknowable because it is inexhaustible and not fully comprehensible to a human mind. Yes Most of existence is not trying to understand anything. A rock is not trying to understand anything. A dog is not trying to understand anything. Even most humans are not seriously interested in understanding anything. So the desire to understand reality is quite a rare and precious thing. But when it does, it's God trying to understand itself.

It's possible to understand a lot of deep stuff. But even so a mystery remains.

Yup, sometimes you just gotta follow through on your commitment to go out even if you don't feel like it or you don't have any hope for results. Results can come randomly even on bad nights and lessons are learned even on bad or slow nights.

It focuses on timeless, fundamental principles which are not related to job markets.

Yup, that's my plan. Thanks!

I would tell you to be careful, or you might do something you will regret. But in the end if you have no problem throwing away your life, then there really is no problem. Because all problems assume that you care about keeping your life. Removing your desire to live is about the most serious thing you could do. You shouldn't take such things lightly. And frankly I don't even like you guys discussing it because in practice what will happen is people will hurt themselves very badly. Don't take your life or your health for granted. You could easily lose it any day.

I don't have direct experience about that. One is the absolute perspective the other is the human survival perspective. No matter how perfect and infinite reality is, if someone sticks an ice pick in your eye none of that will matter to you. Yes, there is a contradiction between truth vs you feeling comfortable. Mostly what you care about is feeling comfortable. This is just basic instinct and it's hard to change that.

Keep in mind that Tolle was at levels of suffering where he was on the brink of killing himself. That kind of suffering, in itself, will teach you many powerful lessons. But it's also quite dangerous to go that far. There's no guarantee you won't just kill yourself rather than awaken. So hoping to copy Tolle's path is likely to end in disaster. I would rather you guys don't go down that path. Which is why we're having this discussion. You have to really consider the cost paid to attain certain spiritual attainments. The suffering and risk to attain it might not be worth it. Or at least it's something you should seriously contemplate. Because the way most people frame it is like this: I will do some peaceful meditation and awaken like Tolle. But they leave out the insane suffering which was essential to his path. If you consider the Buddha's story, his suffering was also very intense. So you have to ask yourself, how much suffering am I willing to endure in order to reach the so-called end of suffering? And what if I endure all that suffering and never reach the end? There is probably some correlation between how deeply you suffer and how deeply you awaken, such that the really deep awakenings cost so much in suffering that very few people end up paying that price. And many people who end up paying the price but never awakening. Cause there's no guarantees that your suffering will turn out as well as Tolle or the Buddha. It could just turn into a typical hellish life and suicide.
