You think he’d actually try to pump himself up in his books? Seems a bit unnecessary and he actually quit serving a while ago

Cheers, appreciate the advice. I also feel mature enough to handle it but always try to be extra cautious with psychedelics especially first time around. It seems the verdict is that it’s not necessary

Must be Hatha

Enlightenment in the zen and Ralston sense is just figuring out that you are the awareness or nothingness in which reality unfolds. Psychedelics help you go more into the Godmind and Oneness aspect of reality which is more profound. Enlightenment is akin to figuring out how a car works (its running on wheels) but there’s still so much about the car to understand.

@Leo Gura Thanks. Is the risk like self harm or something? Or just going off the rails?

It’s truly an art

It’s not that you find the magic blank, or are lifted to a higher dimension where God lives. It’s recognizing that this very moment, these events and people are literally 100% God embodied. This is it!!! It’s more of realizing the magic is the mundane or a bringing it down rather than trying to go up

Regarding self inquiry it’s a super powerful tool for tapping into that state. Because it’s a focused meditation it’s a bit different from contemplation and purifies the mind well. Hridaya also taught me proper self inquiry as this is their main meditation path. Thanks for the feedback on 5 MEO I think I’ll try it just to see what it shows. I think it’s very important to not ignore the stage by getting lost in state, like you said, the state can help integrate the stage. But imo most of the work is to be done in a sober day to day way, like droplets in a bath tub they add up. Keep rocking brother!

Nice. Honestly man, if you can find a proper school near you it will catapult your progress there. If not in person, online. Finding an authentic yoga school changed my whole view of it and matured my spiritual path by 10X. Especially with a solid teacher. I go to Hridaya in Mexico where I live.

@Davino that makes sense, I appreciate your reply. I have also recently had many of these moments and awakenings naturally but I also would attribute my past with psychedelics as a key tool for that. I haven’t used any in about a year now and I feel a much more natural baseline of connection and mystical states. However I’ve also done a ton of kundalini yoga with a professional school, like 6-8 hours a day for months and tons of self inquiry, maybe around 10,000 hours. All in the last couple years my consciousness is much more stable and I can tap into these “God Moments” almost at any venue if i try. I resonate with your post because I also love to go out and socialize while contemplating God, also cafes are awesome to just sit and watch “God unfold” as I call it I haven’t done 5MEO but I am reading Martin ball right now and feeling called to try it. I do have reservations as I don’t want to ruin my progress or become dependent on anything to connect with God. However if it truly gives you that full experience and reset it may be due in some time. I want to incorporate psychedelics into my path but also know they can be tricky and I think ultimately we have to build a mature, and powerful baseline like you said

I notice in your sign off you mention 5MEODMT did you use it to reach this state you can tap into now?

Story of my life. OP, awesome post. Very beautifully written thanks for sharing. I resonate with this experience

So what’s your take? Use psychedelics for awakening then put them away? Or only use them once in a while?

What’s your life purpose? Sounds dope

Exactly. Again, what’s the problem? You can still do stuff in the world but your not deluded into thinking it will make you happy. It’s like you’re playing a game

I see what you’re saying but I also think it’s a balance. There is a time to bliss out and if you have that naturally I would see that as grace. Then after blissing out your more healed and ready to plan for kicking ass in those other aspects of life. It’s like basking in the fact that it’s a game, then playing the game. Blissing out is not the enemy

Dark room retreats are as potent as psychedelics. I’ve had straight up Ayahuasca trips in the darkness and it releases 5 MEO DMT after 10 days

Absolutely, I’ve done it. The solution is to follow what works. This isn’t rocket science and there are many schools which can teach you ancient practices, tried and testing, to naturally unlock your inner bliss. Yogic school, kundalini yoga, Hatha yoga, meditation, contemplation, solitude and dark room retreats will help to awaken this inner deliciousness. I’ve experienced it and while it’s not as dramatic as psychedelics it’s sustainable safe and proven to work personally I think there is a mix to be had, but if you go full sober you really learn to trust God and your practice

I don’t see the problem, you’re able to lay down and bliss out while not having to do anything? What’s the issue? How did eastern teachings turn you into an animal?

Rumi also stresses the importance of feeling pain and dying into that too. Rumi is greatly misunderstood, but yes I believe you can get to mystic levels of love like Rumi was it just takes decades of devoted practice and contemplation. There’s no easy way around it. But you can experience that unconditional psychedelic love while sober. Just do a dark room retreat and see

How can you say this after shitting on traditional paths like meditation and yoga? This is what I’ve been saying all along. Walking up the mountain builds character and integrity and also is much more enjoyable. It also allows time for integration so your baseline is closer to your peak states.

Love this. My top 5 1 meditation and contemplation 2 reading and contemplate what I read. Read very slowly 3 dance and music while visioning 4 creating, posting, videos 5 socializing and pick up

I find this super insightful and can save you so much time and effort and misery. To actually hear this from one the guys who “made it to the top” is very revealing. Basically it comes down to none of these things made him happy and if he could re-do it would be a slow climb up the mountain rather than just getting there super quickly. I’m amazed that he wised up like this. I see with ego maniac rappers like Russ too, some of them eventually just realize it and are honest enough with themselves to admit it. It’s hard to imagine, being unsatisfied with mansions, models, and money but this is solid proof.

That ship sailed a while ago

Ya I hit her up to see if she’d be down to chill this week as I still want to explore the connection. Let’s see. And I’m not a cheap guy at all, I’ve seen other dudes who are much worse, I just felt weird buying her friends drinks and food but honestly fuck it this is all ego bullshit anyway also I must say you’re framing it like I owe them something for sitting with me for hours, “entertaining me” if anything I was making their night more alive and fun before I talked to them they were just standing around bored
