Think this topic has lived past its use and point.

More word game play to look down on it. Using the word steroid to take advantage of the perception of actual steroids. They aren't equivalent. Did you just watch a few videos then deem all drug use as bad? Do you have direct experience on this subject? The poison is in frequency and dose not the substance as a whole. Your path isn't the best path for everyone. It's cool you are showing a drug free path, but I'm skeptical on how much you actually know about responsible moderated drug use for this work.

@Leo Gura Careful with the guilt thing. You can be conditioned to believe something is wrong and feel guilt over that. It's a survival mechanism.

The answer to this is the exact same answer to the free will vs no free will debate.

My words lol Anything is dangerous if used improperly. Those practices can fry you too. Everybody has their own path. Some involving drugs others not. Each as valid as the other. Let's not make this a dick measuring contest of the best path or how much work one puts in. Drugs alone won't get you enlightened. You won't get out of doing work, but they can be a great tool to supplement.

All you've done is play a word game to reinforce your negative perception of drug use.

@Display_Name Do more 5-meo lol You've got nothing to defend.

Different strokes for different folks.

They are going to have to overcome their doubt and confusion. Our experience with it is tailored to us. It can only do so much for you. There are already so many personal testimonies of its success. When do they quit all the theory and put it into practice?

Stop trying to cut corners. Just go out and do it. Experiment. You learn even when you fail. Self actualization is a journey that will go on until your death.

@Danioover9000 Ding ding ding

@Inliytened1 Leo has two videos on quantum mechanics and materialism if you haven't seen it.

Leo mentioned Salvia in his perception video. That gives a good idea in how it fits. Definitely shows you the illusion of perception and higher doses are a whole other beast in of themselves. Never done higher ones myself but the trip reports you can find speaks for itself. Nothing more interesting than feeling like your body is folding like a book ? It's definitely not for the faint of heart and it can be scary for your perception to warp so hard. But there is huge spiritual potential there. If you try it, I can only recommend you can let go and accept easy. Also never do it alone. You should always have a sitter. When you are in it you will completely believe what you see even if just for a moment.

As someone who has done up to 1500ug Lsd @iTommy advice is solid. The trip won't be easy as you go up. It will take a lot of mental strength. But the things you can see, oh boy, is it a ride and very profound. I would highly recommend you work your way up to higher doses. 100 or 50ug at a time. I jumped from 500ug to 1000 with a cocky attitude and I was put in my place. So humble yourself. Losing yourself in the trip is always a possibility. Thought loops and what not. Having a sitter nearby when it's your first time doing a higher dose is highly recommended. They can help remind you you are tripping and to relax. The higher doses can be incredibly fun. I hope you enjoy.

How many conversations have you had where you try to say certain words in a certain way to get a certain outcome. You'd be surprised how manipulate humans are and PUA culture really just highlights this. But you are right. Men want women so they proceed to treat it like a puzzle. And it really is a statistics game. Leo used to do it. I think it's a phase just some men need to go through as annoying it is for many of the women. There was a video someone posted here of a guy who took a far more respectful approach to it. Don't remember who though.

There are a thousand different ways to reach the same goal. Find your goal then pick whatever discipline helps you reach it. The proof is in the results.

@Norbert Lennartz or perhaps theu give context way more than your thread gave. The self is always innocent.. Until they are not.

@Flatworld Crusades I appreciate your approach to this conversation ❤️

@bmcnicho Forming a comprehensive spiritual model of reality by translating pre thought experiences is the complicated part.

We're the same age both planning to go to a festival this summer. Cool shit. Keep the dose light so things don't go wonky. Although I'd get some experience of doing psychedelics around random people. My friends and I did by doing it on top of a viewing spot. When you start involving people you don't know things can get really weird.

@Bill W Yeah. I see where you are getting at. Being aware of everything you do and think 24/7 is a big task. My ego loves to go wild when I slip into brief unawareness. Or sometimes I'll just let it get its reply aware of it and I'll try and just tone it down lol It's a big task and there are many facets to this work. I remember Leo mentioning in one of his videos his posts are sort or a journey in of itself. The earlier stuff is about solely growing yourself and all your dysfunction so he could build you up to the metaphysical stuff later on. Which I doubt most people start from his earlier stuff.

Feminine energy has a pretty low importance in many day to say interactions from shopping to jobs. It's all mostly masculine energy. Although the feminine shines a lot when it comes to the home life and friendships. For example, As a male myself I am a bit more emotionally open than most guys I know but I always want to talk about it to a women instead of a male. I vibe a lot better with them in a situation like that. There's been talk of men balancing out their feminine which is great. Maybe there can be talk on women balancing out their masculine side? It could help them deal with the masculine energy here as well as especially careers.

Wouldn't the solution be awareness? Women won't fix the egoic problems of men. Men need to sort that out themselves. Same for women. We get a lot of new self actualizers here so it makes sense they wouldn't be as developed. I've only been into it for 2 years and my ego still finds sneaky ways to bypass my awareness.

Sitting down and trying to "feel" which guy you gravitate more towards than rationalizing it may help as well. Once you've filtered out the red flags of course! Harness that intuition whenever you can.

Oooo good topic! I haven't thought about that. My first impression is that instinct is like a simplified form intuition. It's hard to adapt instinct since it triggers for whatever it is set to do. It's a much more primal survival mechanism. But yet intuition seems to be much more adaptive. It changes with and takes into account everything you experience while instinct remains largely static. I suspect instinct is a bit more nuanced than what I said above but I can't quite put my finger on where it begins and ends especially for humans.
