What you could do is ask him questions via the socratic method in order to get the discussion to a metaphysical ground, and a discussion of truth and falsehood. The thing with American evangelicals, is they tend to believe that if you have not accepted Jesus as a savior (whatever that means to the individual), then you are not saved and will go to eternal hell. From your friend's perspective, he is trying to 'save you' and so you may get him to give up by actually questioning his belief system. Obviously, I would do it a friendly, scholarly way.

I dig it! thank you!

how so? If anything that highlights duality to me. I'd be interested in seeing how you came to that conclusion?

I have realized, not intellectually, nothingness. But I also realized that nothingness is everything. So to be one, is still to be ego, while knowing the truth. like Yin and yang. Oneness, has been revealed to me in this way. What say you to this? In other words, what happens after realization of nothingness in your view from relative/illusionary perspective? edit: for clarity

People in this forum... I don't know how you say there is no God and then proceed the say the Universe is happening, haha, guess that non-duality.

What are you looking for out of this relationship or any relationship with a woman?

I get the opposite experience. It's important to channel that energy into something else too and build yourself. It's not enough to just stop PMO, you have to do something else with your time, and you have to re-define women, relationships, and sex in a wholesome way.

Definitely psychedelics. A moderate dose of LSD or mushrooms, will make you a mad genius.

what did you expect to happen? and I'd review the method again because I feel 'something' happen with basic alternate nostril breathing x3

Evil to me is synonymous with division, ignorance, selfishness, especially when you are conscious of how one's action effects others. It can also be characterized with impulsivity, short-term thinking/planning, and hedonism. At it's core, it's a strong sense of division from yourself and the world around you. This leads to an imbalance of character and actions. Instead of functioning from absolute and relative standpoint in unison, one functions in a relative standpoint exclusively. They don't think it's harmful, until it happens to them. Lots of rapists and Men are also not aware of their own devilish qualities. They only think its okay because they have not been in that absolute standpoint, and are so deeply entrenched in their relative perspective. Is not the awareness of one's devilish qualities or awareness of one's impact on others already a higher epistemic position? Even as we go up the spiral, we adopt more actions and policies that benefit the collective. Are there not a bunch of criminals who've essentially repented and given up harmful actions/routines because they intuitively know that it does not lead to lasting fulfillment.

To be clear, Portugal decriminalized drugs, they did not legalize them.

From an absolute standpoint, there is no evil. All is one. But from an absolute standpoint, or in the midst of a DMT trip, you're not going to rape anyone. From a relative standpoint, there is definitely evil; I am positive, no one who has replied in this thread would be okay with being raped. I would certainly be traumatized, and more divided within myself, than I am today. However, I just landed into duality world as I discuss absolute vs relative perspective. It is certainly a confusing and somewhat circular discussion because to even discuss good and evil, you must step down from the absolute standpoint. Nonetheless, when I am balanced, Yin-Yang, as in, I know myself as God, experiencing a person/ego. Hurting others IS wrong because I am able to see myself as others and I have Unity as my foundation. This has been my truth. -- I am curious as to how some of you are at peace with this idea that evil does not exist totally. Are you not at least somewhat concerned of being raped from a relative perspective? and If you are, why are do we deny the truth of that? To be absolute, is also to be relative, and vice versa. So what exactly is stopping Good and Evil from being true when it is contained within the absolute standpoint? These ideas have been on my mind and recently did an LSD trip where I seriously contemplated this. The above narrative has been my conclusion. @Carl-Richard My intention was not to come off hostile at all. This topic has been on my mind for a couple of years now and I am still integrating it at a human level.

The meaning of life, is to know and be yourself.

Why do you say the universe wants it? I am more inclined to see that the ego wants it. Someone who is separate from Truth will resort to kill, steal, rape, and lie to survive/have their needs met. Doing a deadlift is nothing like being raped against your will. A psychopath's perspective is like that because he is deeply divided in himself. Falsehood is his foundation.

Collapse all the divisions inside of you until you reach One.

The standard of consciousness, understanding, wisdom, and light. Although, consciousness won't see anything as inherently evil, it still won't persuade someone to rape, kill, steal, or hurt anyone. Perhaps that is an assumption, but this is my experience, and I have not been able to see otherwise.

Unless shunyamurti has an extensive history of using and studying psychedelics, then his perspective is meaningless in regards to the subject of psychedelics.

From a developed perspective, it is evil. From an undeveloped perspective, it's a practical way of getting physical love and love from your group. You may not be able to love it, but God can.

It's quality. All of my devices are apple. I grew up using windows and Apple products are too smooth to go back.

I think the more pertinent question is how devoted are you two, to each other? People will always have different opinions in relationships. This circumstance will depend on you and your gf way of resolving conflict and level of devotion. This is also sounds like something you both should talk about. Is she upset that you have friends "all round the sexuality spectrum"?. The thing with devout religious people is they often base their behavior and beliefs off scripture and authority teachings. So in one way you could point her to saints who were extremely loving like St. Francis which he said, "No one is to be called an enemy, all are your benefactors, and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves." So there's no reason to attack anybody.

Unfortunately you are not going to find any valid scientific explanations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_psychotherapy. You may find this information interesting and relevant if you are open to having an experience of release yourself.

I agree with what everyone said here. To avoid this its best to lay down boundaries early in the relationship. I also kind of feel like you're lying to yourself a bit.. The guy texts you "hey beautiful..." and its just a platonic friendship? I don't know about you, but thats not an appropriate friendship text.

I know that in the USA, it is legal and okay to buy an online test kit online. you can find a bunch online if you just look up "LSD test kit" and "ehrlich reagent" however, I am not sure about Romania or EU laws, so you'll have to figure that out for yourself!

I think it's important to be in good condition. If you still feel like you're healing, I would wait for the right time.

From what you stated, you sound fine to do it. If you're very nervous do not take a high dose, take something like 75-120ug. Whatever you do though, do NOT smoke cannabis on an LSD trip because it is a whole other experience. It is easy to underestimate it, even taking 1 hit will change it up.
