I remember doing it. It's just been almost 3 years since I have taken a psychedelic

I barely have psychedelic experience. 5 meo I need to build up to

Doing a solo retreat from May 15-26. I’m waiting so late to give me time to get acclimated to my new job and everything. I am going to do a peter Ralston event in the fall instead of the spring. any tips on how I can be successful for this retreat ? My goal is enlightenment ultimately secondarily face my fear of loneliness third is get over my neediness toward women

@Raptorsin7 have you done mushrooms ? What’s the essential difference between LSD and mushrooms

@Raptorsin7 nope had terrible friend group with me who abandoned me and no personal development foundation at all

I am thinking about doing a psychedelic on my birthday during the retreat which is the last day before I check out. i have taken LSD three times and had a bad trip my last time. So should I do LSD again or open up my shrooms world ?

I use television an other people to point out self deceptions in others and myself. I also have a soft spot for criminals because I can deeply understand how traumatic experiences of abuse can be so I’m definitely biased when it comes to the psychology of criminals which is deceptive af

Yes it’s self-deception at its finest and selfishness. But I’m the most selfish of them all

*hole

Im just looking at the CTE scan and Im surprised that people don’t have sympathy or understanding for a person with that large of a whole in his brain

@purerogue Definitely put him in jail if he committed crimes. I’m just trying to convey my level of understanding on why the criminal possibly committed the murders

I’m reading models right now. It’s foundational to your dating life as a man. Learned a lot from it. Also she comes first (forgot the author) if you want to learn how to pleasure a woman orally

@Nahm holy shit bro that’s deep. Earlier this week I realized I use and create thoughts to distract me from how I am feeling. Because I have so much pain body shit going on from the past I’ve never dealt with. You really put things in perspective which will help my retreat go smoother (even though its still gonna be one of the most challenging things in my life )

It’s really resistance of the present moment. I had a similar experience when I got my wisdom tooth removed a couple months ago. When I stayed with the pain it just went away

Yeah It’s just gonna be me food,water and shelter and a journal no books, laptop, cell phone, or entertainment of any kind. im gonna do it like my parents had to do and mapquest directions ?

@Leo Gura that’s why I am planning in advance. I’m going to do it in an RV airbnb in Arizona (where I currently live). ill have plenty of food and water. my biggest fear is quiting early

Has anyone experienced any benefits from this exercise because I’ve been making this a habit and haven’t experienced much

This was a really powerful video but I need help understanding the exercise So when he says a thought has two components 1. Content 2. Actuality- what is actually What do you mean by content? Like the example: I hate my boss isn't that itself the content or is there more to it ?

A huge breakthrough has happened for me! Thank you everyone. Does being=truth And to get to the bottom of truth you have to get to the core of being?

Sorry for all the questions on just fascinated by the trickery my mind plays

@Shin i got it. All day everyday no matter what in doing. What's more important the thought or the emotional reaction to the thought I watched Leos video on self-deception too To stop self-deception you must do self-reflection How does that process work ?

I'm lost bro... Really confused. How do you stop believing them? Just watch them? I meditate almost daily. Some thoughts are super subtle and hard to catch.

Are the emotions just being too and in just projecting meaning onto them ? Example: Heartbreak because my ex is dating someone new Actuality: feel tightness and pain in chest and throat. Is that not because my ex is dating somebody new?

But if thoughts have no meaning why do I suffer so much? Why do I do what my mind says? How come they have so much power over me and can elicit so many emotional reactions, fears and so on?

Got it. Thoughts have no inherent meaning within themselves. I project meaning onto them. Okay , y whole reality is going to get flipped upside down and I sense another existential crisis on the way
