  1. But @Shambhu Why would you listen to a yogi about psychedelics? They don't know nothing about them. They are not trained on it and they have no experiences with it. A better teacher would be an African or South American Shaman. This guy would be better off being honest and saying, I don't know anything about them and I am a Yogi, so I follow these rules. If anything this was more a commentary on US' culture and New Age. His statements contradict himself too. In one breath, he describes them as temporary experiences and then we go back to normal and in another breath, he says they are dangerous because they can change your personality. Oh, but it won't change you from a sinner to a saint! Well, which is it? Or even this idea of chasing an 'experience', being addictive, or just being like a great big ride thats WOWOW. Only someone with little to no experience could say this. For the majority of the people, psychedelics are challenging. There's nothing addictive about them and sometimes they are not fun. The average Yogi, Christian, Muslim could never admit this because they don't actually know what they are talking about. Some of you might feel like Leo talks about psychedelics too much, but when I watch this, I am reminded how much ignorance and stigma surrounds psychedelics.
  2. This is exactly why Christians identify deeply with Jesus as the character of God and say that He is the truth, the way, and the life. That is the value is saying I am Christian because it clarifies what God means to an individual. And that is an important distinction you need to make for yourself. What is God? How does a person act and do when he is aligned with Truth? There is a need for that message to be communicated to someone who does not know God or may know someone who believes in God, but does weird crap like start a suicide cult. God is also identified and distinguished by what He is NOT. like the Neti-Neti method. This is probably why humans can't get away from Good and Evil, even if it is tied to Ego. For example, I could discuss with someone on the street what God is. We both may have an experience of what we perceive as "God" and yet receive two different messages. To Mark Chapman, 'God' spoke to him to kill John Lennon. To me, 'God' says to love someone is to love myself. Which message is 'right'? or another way to put it 'whole' The problem is that the word 'God' can mean different things to people and can create a lot of confusion. The only way to know what is true is to connect to direct experience because Truth is self-evident and deeper than what is captured through the scientific method. I believe Jesus to be the Son of God because his words and actions speaks to the deep humanity in me. But I only came to this conclusion by having personal revelations of God's Love and noticing that Jesus embodied these characteristics to the highest degree. You can still connect to Truth without all of the religions, but it is certainly a great pointer or fast track to Truth within yourself, which I do agree with others is in the Present Moment.
  3. I have done exactly this, only once, and I can confirm that it is legit-ness. @HypnoticMagician I think your concerns are valid, I just have immense respect for them. so your post triggers my heart. I wanted to share how great they are and for you to not have such as evil taste about them because it does not seem grounded in actuality or truthful information about them. Let's learn from each other! I am wondering what exactly are your biggest fear surrounding psychedelics? I feel like you don't appreciate the exaggerated narrative as a 'cure all' that many psychonauts espouse? and that you may feeling doubtful about their safety or healthiness of their use? like did you have a bad experience with them? Part of the reason why I don't experience this is because I have a bit of nuance understanding in what role they should play in my spiritual development than maybe other psychonauts. I love psilocybin mushrooms as you can tell by my avatar, but it's not like I'm tripping every week, I take em about 4 times a year. and there is journaling, meditation, contemplation, church, reading scripture (the Bible), in between to help me stay grounded and also digest my trips. I am not too concerned with the health side because I only use ones that I know are physically safe, the ones that have been studied or are traditional.
  4. That's not force. You made a choice to not take the vaccine. There are consequences to your choice. Do you seriously not understand why governments are placing restrictions on gathering of people?
  5. My opinion, is there no strong evidence that there is a group of people 'controlling' the world or are doing half of what you are saying. There are certainly rich people who use money to influence governments and media, but mRNA vaccine to depopulate the earth? "toxic substances" - like? They are hardly forcing it. It's completely optional lol. It's mostly fear mongering without any solid evidence.
  6. It's also possible that she saw you were not that into her. It probably felt too platonic and not enough romance. She's got to feel polarized like you're thee man between each other not a friend. Just my guess..
  7. I contemplated this all afternoon and my answer is: The Unity between everything. I love relationship between notes in music. The different characters that make up a great group or family. the connection between art and real life. Sometimes, I am a family party and I observe the unison of everything happening at once. It's special!
  8. @HypnoticMagician My qualification are BA in Psychology, minor in neuroscience, and MA in general psychology, and while I do not have extensive practical research experience, I have some and am familiar with what is generally regarded as legitimate science which is generally speaking, peer-reviewed research by credible journals. I've written several literature reviews for graduate courses. My work at the moment is Behavior Analyst which is the science of behavior, so my whole work is around science and whether a methodology is valid at solving something, and my knowledge of science is only growing. Don't get me wrong, I am not a master at science, but please prove me wrong with some evidence that psychedelics are as bad as you say. Yes that is because there are a multitude of different species. That doesn't mean that Psilocybin Mushrooms kind will kill you though. If you visit the wikipedia page of Psilocybin you will find a graph that shows them being the lowest in toxicity and dependency in comparison to any other substance. I don't throw out psilocybin because some other specie of mushroom is poisonous. I am not going to discount the danger of them. They can still be dangerous to an individual and group if used irresponsibly, ya know. I am for responsible, even therapist-led sessions where people can safely contemplate and experience them without any fear of dying or abuse of the nervous system. I suppose it is important to balance the talk of their benefits with their risks. yeah that's fine, I just thought you were insinuating that you were more aware of biology than others on this forum, but you were saying stuff like your brain will burn which is not something a biologist would say lol. I don't mean anything ill by it .
  9. I watched a little bit of it and skimmed through. This man appears troubled lol. Although, I do agree with needing to provide value as a person in any relationship. People want to feel good and secure around others. Ultimately, a feminine woman is looking for a masculine man. the problem with PUA lifestyle is that it is akin to a heroin addict chasing heroin in a cycle. There's no stability or peace, since the game is constantly on, and such a philosophy builds a cynical self-centered worldview.
  10. what you are likely experiencing is malnutrition. And if you are going to continue the vegan diet (which I don't recommend), you need to check if you are getting all your necessary nutrients. You would probably survive much better just eating a non-raw vegan diet. Eat some legumes at the very least.
  11. I don't feel like I can convince you of your beliefs, however, a lot of what you said is wrong or unfounded according to my research. You say mushrooms are poisonous, where are you getting your information? Science says it is the least toxic substance and less toxic to our body than caffeine, which is ingested daily by the average American. You say they don't help people spiritually or mentally, yet there are several studies that say otherwise. Good Friday experiment, James Fadiman's experiments suggest it helps with problem solving, Yale and John Hopkins study show decreased levels of anxiety and depression. Decrease in addictions through the use of Ayahuasca, ibogaine, and LSD (popularized by AA founder Bill Wilson) Half of what you wrote is fear mongering, "your brain will burn"?? lol, what is your understanding of biology dude? I do agree that raising our consciousness is a lifelong pursuit that necessitates regular practice, like going to the gym. I am going to need some powerful evidence even if it is anecdotal to convince me that psychedelics are anything but the Food of God.
  12. I didn't read the manga, I am waiting for season 4 part 2. Choosing to not read the manga cause I am following it with a friend. My post is purely a guess. Since the beginning, Erin has vowed to bring Titans down and I don't expect him to back off from this root motivation.
  13. Yes it does. I have one. I cut a corner of a tab, put it inside a tube that they give you, put the solution in, and it turned purple, indicating that it is LSD. If it was something else it would've turned a different color.
  14. I agree. Do submit to God, so that you (ego) can ultimately be aligned with your true Self (God).
  15. Yes, you can test it by using a ehrlich reagent test kit
  16. It sounds likely he's not interested, but It's really not enough information to know from my side.
  17. Well is it good? and if it is, why aren't you raping your neighbor right now? I don't believe Rape is synonymous to Joy, but if you think it is, I'd like to hear how you came to that conclusion? I believe in divine justice. We suffer every moment we go against our true nature. And if you don't believe me then go have a bad trip on DMT.
  18. No way man, he is being strategic and he is NOT giving up on Armin, Mikasa, or Eldian . stage yellow.
  19. Your insights are a bit contradictory. You are experiencing universal consciousness yet you are creating deep separation between yourself and others through 'secrets' 'normies'. Why do you think this is?
  20. Connection and Unity.
  21. Are you literally laying in the dark for hours without sleep? or do you mean, you keep stimulating yourself with screen time and have a hard time, winding down to get into bed?
  22. YES. Especially dabbing. It's almost insane how strong it can get. BUT, I find weed does not have as clear of a headspace as classical Psychedelics.
  23. could the USA afford NOT to? Think of the implication as we continue on this increasingly complex world. What will happen when we let the poorest behind? Do you think those individuals who don't receive help are going to go away? Just saw that someone posted this, exactly.
  24. yeah weed is exactly like DMT. /s I don't really feel like this post is well thought out man.
