2 ways to have the biggest building in town: 1) Tear all the other buildings down 2) Build the biggest building

Whats your thoughts on Matcha before psychedelics?

Theres no “best diet”, only quality foods and nutrient variety. After that it comes down to how much you are eating and your training. Whether or not its worth it to go to the gym while being vegan is a separate issue from whether or not its worth it to exercise while being vegan (and the answer is 100% yes if you care about optimizing your health)

@Recursoinominado How people react to you shouldn’t make you question yourself like that. You might want to reframe how you address those topics you bring up or relate to the person. You could have a good intention but have it come off in a self righteous way. You have to be subtle and maybe pose questions to make them think. What others choose to do is on them, all you can do is do your part and plant a seed but their motivation comes from witnin.

Thanks for sharing this channel. Enjoyed those 2 videos.

-Cycle high intensity/low to moderate intensity workouts. -Switch up exercises to target body movement in all planes of motion -Build strength with function, targeting end ranges of motion with stability so your shoulders/hips/spine will be healthy -Make sure sleep/nutrition are on point -Properly warm up before high intensity (takes longer to warm up than most people think for optimal performance) -Use cold thermogenesis (cold showers/contrast showers) for muscle recovery with deep nasal breathing All this advice won't help much unless you get an experiential understanding of these concepts. Seek out a quality trainer to monitor your movement quality if you can.

What I got from that video is that the root cause is the lack of emotional maturity to sit in a room by yourself without distraction, just you and your thoughts. The root of addiction is trying to escape from that. You can't say that this approach isn't working if you haven't taken the time to confront this existential boredom/loneliness and have undergone the work over a substantial time period in spite of the suffering it may bring about.

I'm having a hard time discerning what exactly you are asking but if you are craving oats, eat them and see how you feel. Listen to your body, nutrient variety is important. You don't have to box yourself in some specific "fruitariancarnivore" diet because it sounds cool or seems to work for you for a while (key point: after a period of time you start experiencing the drawbacks) while you miss out on other nutrients from other foods.

Judging by the profile pic she is a female. That usage of DMT being healthy or not is completely relative from person to person and personal. The worst physiological harm you get from DMT is the harshness of smoking it, and if you plug it, even that is bypassed. Its a completely safe substance, any ill effects your ego is projecting on it comes from a psychological disposition that isn't ready for it.

This is a broad generalization. But sometimes automatically disowning someone because they cheated on you is a sign of low self esteem. You want to rid your ego of the humiliation and the social status of staying with someone who cheated on you. This is more fear based than love based. In some rarer cases a person with high self esteem can be mature enough not to leave just because of this depending on what happened in their specific situation.

@Danioover9000 Yes, talking about transmutation. But before you can transmute in my experience the challenge is containing it in the first place when you want a release. Once you can tolerate more of the energy, then you can release in constructive ways. Regarding other women: https://deida.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/BK00906-interior-pages-27.pdf He's talking about young women here specifically but still apply it to any female attention you get.

I'm gonna give you my 2 cents typing the way you type: This seems like a tricky situation. On one hand, you stated the relationship turned toxic. You said you both spent 6 months silently hating each other, ignoring each other and withholding affection. Then when she gave her excuse for sexting, you said you thought you were there for her all along, directly contradicting your part of ignoring and withholding affection. I'm not trying to say you are the bad guy here. I feel your hurt and no one deserves to feel humiliated. On the other hand, try to empathize with her side, and feel how withholding affection makes the other feel lonely. The number one priority is clear, open communication to work out the toxicity of what caused the mutual neglecting in the first place. Don't settle for toxicity/dysfunction. You may find the toxicity beautiful because you simply haven't exposed yourself to something real and genuine. You can be "addicted" to hurt and negative emotions. But once you experience the better alternative, this addiction will disappear. Bottom line: Put forth your best effort to communicate and fix the core issues. If she isn't up for this, you deserve better.

Use your surplus of energy for more physical activity or other types of creation. If you really exert yourself physically in a healthy way you will sleep better and channel the raw aggression. Be sure to keep your nutrition on point, maybe take some sleepy herb teas or a little melatonin for the insomnia. Don't let the perceived higher attention from women bother you, totally own it. If you get horny, soak in the horniness and try to capture that raw energy to use for your life as a whole. Learn to handle more and more amounts of pent up horniness without release. Im not saying flirt with them per say if you have a girlfriend, but you can have positive interactions with women knowing they are attracted to you and be able to hold down that desire which is extremely hard and beneficial to do for growth.

When you say "edge" are you just referring to mental sharpness/clarity/"sober mind" so to speak?

Counting macros and worrying about quantity is not nearly as important (can be useful sometimes) as eating quality foods and eating them slowly and mindfully. The latter is the base of the pyramid so to speak. The macros/quantity comes after.

Theres some deep rooted mental programming there from your early life experiences most likely. Really contemplate and feel into what comes up when that arises and try to keep digging deeper to the root cause, assumptions you’ve made concerning your self-survival.

Are you saying you've had sex on salvia or salvia is seducing you to trip on it? Not sure I've ever seen that before. @Consilience Great trip report, touched on the deep existential aspects as well as the more personal issues. The part about masculinity is spot on.

I really started taking food hygiene seriously when I took this advice from this ex fitness competitor Marcus Filly about how important HOW you eat your food is compared to a lesser degree what you eat (which is obviously very important but the significance of the differential between these two concepts is a lot closer than people think) This is an amazing podcast for training and nutrition and this episode covers this topic:

Why is it that you think the AL LAD is friendlier at lower doses but paradoxically is more out of control in higher doses? Maybe its missing a key element that makes it seem friendlier at first (whereas with a classic one would get into uncomfortable territory) but then that same mechanism is what puts you into bliss with the classical one at higher doses?

Food Hygiene is another good and overlooked tip to add. Chew your food slowly and mindfully to improve digestion and nutrient absorption. This takes excess stress of your gut, and prevents you from excess portion sizes. Try to have it liquify in your mouth before it goes down.

The cold thermogenesis of cold showers increases blood circulation, stimulates the vagus nerve, improves your testosterone, mitochondrial health, immune system, ect. Adding in the hot/cold contrast is also great for muscle recovery and feels amazing. Its really good to take full deep breaths under the cold to train your nervous system to adapt better to stress.

The distinction between physical and hallucination is just a distinction. Ultimately the hallucinated fan and a real physical fan are made of the same substance of consciousness, which is nothing, meaning just a deeper level of hallucination. Don't believe this, take higher doses of psychedelics (safe ones) and contemplate this to verify it or not.

Why not a low dose of LSD then? Filling your mind with all the bad trip reports and things that could go wrong is wise and cautionary to a certain point, but also adds a negative overlay to your own experience that wouldn't be there otherwise. Maybe the LSD will feel like heaven with no fear at all. Maybe it will confront you with existential terror, but not in the way you think, but rather in an uncomfortable way you can still at least handle in the right set/setting and with a sitter perhaps, and afterwards will be the most clarifying experience of your life.

I've had this in my earlier days of cannabis edibles, never on mushrooms though. Definitely an illusion, breathing isn't going to stop under conscious control unless its physically obstructed. What was the dose and type of mushrooms?

At some point you gotta bust through the "friendliness" and face the things you have to face. Start with lower doses.
