@Matt23 https://examine.com/supplements/curcumin/ https://examine.com/supplements/zinc/ Only 2 supplements I know that make any notable difference on clinical depression (I've tried a lot) SNRI'S are stronger and work much better Edit: oh and anti-inflammatory meds like Advil work as well

@assx95 A lot of happiness is genetic. You may still get bored and suicidally depressed if you're prone to it. Best/most hedonistic life would be: 1) being in a persistent state of no-self 2) elite meditation skills (maintaining totally unified mind) 3) elite genetics in terms of low neuroticism and high extraversion 4) all the things you have described

It spikes dopamine of course lol. Eating pasta does as well I think most of these no-faps, dopamine detoxes is a placebo effect. I used to sometimes fap to porn while being on a high dose of amphetamine and guess what? The only side effect was some drowsiness the next day (more so first half of the day). So even 1000% of dopamine levels fucked me up for 24h at most and then I felt normal again

Genetic predisposition and then a stressor that activates it. A spiritual crisis is not nearly as extreme. It's like comparing 2 days of low mood to clinical depression, very different

He's saying that so youtube doesn't put the video down Sorry, but to me, it looks more like psychosis or he's having first episode of bipolar disorder. Watched some of those videos and he seems pretty incoherent. They've found him already, he's alive.

@MrMog wow I really hope he didn't commit suicide. Guy have unlimited sex, is rich and it just shows you how mental illness doesn't care about it at all

Horrible. Just shows how 5-MeO do not make everyone compassionate, loving human being, unfortunately.

Have any of you read "The Denial of Death"?

@Verdesbird Did you have a breakthrough on 5-MeO yet? Did you have a breakthrough on any other psychedelic to an extremely solipsistic view? There really is a huge difference between some 100ug LSD trip and 5-MeO breakthrough dose. I'm not saying it will convince you 100%, but it's your best bet

Wait, I thought the brain doesn't exist

You mean Dean Radin's studies?

Question Why are you calling a 5-MeO breakthrough Nirvana? If it really would be that good, wouldn't you want to experience it again, rather than having to force yourself to take 5-MeO again the next day, on a retreat?

@Leo Gura So you basically claiming that there is no permanent parinibbana possible?

So we can not get a concrete, definitive answer to this profound existential question

@StarStruck There is some evidence that people who have frequent nightmares are more prone to bad trips. I don't know about trauma but clinical depression makes 5-MeO very anxiety-inducing.

@NoN-RaTiOnAL Try these techniques: Especially dropping mantra in the mind thing

How do we know if imagination doesn't just stop forever after death? Or in other words, consciousness stops imaging.

@EntheogenTruthSeeker Nice But as Leo said, you wouldn't be able to maintain it sober because you lack neurotransmitters. However, it's still possible to get to a great blissful states, like Jhana without drugs. It requires at the very minimum 1h of meditation practice a day, preferably 2h.

Anxiety has always ruined it for me when I was sober

or just cessation of perception and feeling

I've just watched a few new interviews with Jeffery. Since they are long interviews and a lot of stuff is repeated, I made notes on timestamps of the most interesting stuff I thought you @Serotoninluv and @Leo Gura will be interested in. 48:36 - 1:15:55 How DMN and task positive network change with enlightenment, matching methods, enlightenment not permanent 36:38 - 55:33 transition is not a hard part now, psychedelics, some people has always been enlighten to some degree 1:27:12 - 1:42:11 crazy stuff happening in later locations, merging with apparatus, quantum mechanics Also if you haven't watched: I also want to mention Jeffery's new book "The Finders"
