The idea that mushrooms cause more psychotic breaks than say LSD is probably just flat out false if you had the real data. Shrooms were safer than marijuana in one study which examined emergency room visits relative the the total number of people engaging in using that substance. Marijuana causes psychotic breaks in both people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It is incredibly unlikely that shrooms will act in some way that is more dangerous than other serotonergic psychedelics. Yeah, if you do 50ug of LSD then take 20 dried grams of shrooms and go psychotic, don’t be surprised. It’s more of a dose issue than a specific substance when we’re talking about such things. What you should really worry about is substances that not only stimulate serotonin systems but dopamine systems as well. This is stuff like MDMA and other stimulant-type psychedelics. LSD is more of a worry than shrooms here, but it’s really not that dangerous for breaks when compared to more dopaminergic drugs. Simply drinking too much coffee can cause a psychotic break which could result in uncovering a dormant mental illness. I had a manic episode from Prozac (prescribed) and a couple shots of espresso.

Ayahuasca is in a completely different category. It was hardly even psychoactive. I just went to sleep for the trip. It felt like it realigned my spirit after the experience was over. Many lasting changes in my abilities have come from a single ayahuasca ceremony.

Okay, sorry man. Look, I don’t want no trouble. I swear I won’t claim awakening against your undisclosed connotation of the word. Seeing as you have the ability to define my spirituality for me, can you please be my guru? I’m so thankful to be in the presence of your humility, empathy, and naturally supportive character traits.

I was in a rather pleasant highly conscious state with focus directed toward a certain “chakra” I’ve been working on lately while I was driving today through the countryside with rather nice weather. Near one of the peak moments of this experience, I began to recall a distant childhood memory. It was of a specific instance where I looked at a specific toy at my aunt’s house on a sunny day much like today where my cousins and other kids were playing outside. This exact moment had a certain “existential aesthetic” and context which resonated with me so heavily that I started to experience intense nostalgia. At this moment when nostalgia was becoming intense, I thought about how we will never get those precious memories back. Upon having that realization, I started to filter through different “emotional/visual snapshots” of many different personally significant life events such as losing my virginity, and plenty of other more unique and seemingly inconsequential things that I experienced. This quickly transitioned into a flood of memory-like imaginations/daydreams about the past times in that exact location. I saw human death, prehistoric animals, dinosaurs, a lifeless planet, void space, and even more complete Nothingness than that. This was an experience of Infinite Intelligence or contacting Intelligent Infinity as Ra calls it in the Law of One books. This was clear. There’s so much to the moment which I cannot even grasp now. It may sound like a cool daydream, but this was a very intense “awakening.” I’m not as thrilled about this word as I used to be. I’ve had so many experiences in this tier that my life is becoming more or less a constant awakening or at least moderately awakened state. For example, I usually rest in no-mind which is essentially the prerequisite for No-Self experiences for many people. Being in no-mind so often is quite interesting. I was in no-mind during most of the writing of this post. But yeah, the point of this post is basically just to discuss an interesting experience I had in case people want more data on such things.

The young age is quite a lucky thing though. I know what you mean.

Do you ever do anything other than downplay someone else’s subjective experience? What exactly is delusional about my post?

Hey, do you care to show me something that isn’t a subjective experience that happens inside the mind?

@knowyourroots no problem. Two voices is just two streams of thoughts at once. It’s not a huge concern. I’ve had similar before in a sense.

Follow your greatest desire wherever and whenever possible. It’s that simple really. If Truth is that greatest desire, then go for it. It’s a worthwhile goal.

An intermediate step in my life purpose is to create a “peer support” service for people. It may need to be marketed as something different due to legal reasons. It is similar to life coaching but geared toward areas where I have unique expertise. It is also going to be intended to be less formal than life coaching. The point of the service is to give guidance to those who value my perspective on key areas which my life experience has allowed or rather forced me to become an expert in. A first step with this is to build online presence. My primary platform which I see as being geared toward supporting this would be Youtube. Building a website and moving to all other major social media platforms would be steps to take early on or after a bit of foundation has been built. The main issue is not the value I can provide. This has been developed to a sufficient degree to aid clients in several areas. The issue is merely marketing and scale. I may end up creating an entirely new channel focused on this with a matching public image. I’ve heard TikTok is quite good for building online presence right now. I’m mainly looking for any good information related to building an online audience and stream of potential clients.

Well, from the looks of this thread, the now is pure mental masturbation ?

I’ve found that using my imagination to focus on new and meaningful possibilities for myself helps me to enjoy the whole God thing. It’s a question to yourself about what you want to make and experience in life knowing that so much is now possible.

This is not double awareness. This is two voices appearing as personalities occurring within what you are which is a unified field of awareness.

You are developing tools to use to transcend the ego and previous limits. Your ego has been behind this entire spiritual process. Even once you awaken to No-Self, an ego still operates. There’s still much more territory to cover if you wish to continue past that point, and you’re going to need to work with your ego’s patterns to have any intentional change.

Something possibly to think about more than an interaction occurring is the chance that you may destabilize yourself with nootropics. You should be asking your doctor about any supplements you wish to take with these meds. Feel free to check online to double check your doctor's understanding. Sometimes they don’t know much about new chemicals. People can die or suffer serious injury from taking supplements in uninformed ways.

Well it’s kind of like saying the Ring was the whole point of the Lord of the Rings... I mean it was, and it was way more complicated than that also. But you’re really misunderstanding the ego’s role or at least what it could be. The power of belief can melt your whole reality. It’s not something to be discarded entirely. It can be used as a tool for further development if you’re able to master believing in something without losing your senses to it.

Confidence and a genuine desire to connect usually help me to keep a good level of eye contact. You can see if either of those could be worked on

Autism probably doesn’t help one be yellow/turquoise unless it’s more of an edge case with high functioning if I had to make a guess. At the end of the day, it is a different type of perception and thinking capacities. This can be advantageous at giving unique life perspectives to increase openness, but a lot of the time this isn’t taken advantage of. Many cases of autism might see gaps in social connectivity, for example, which can limit a lot of yellow/turquoise thinking and understanding of other perspectives. Sometimes it seems like a lot of high functioning cases are analytical to a fault. It looks like there can be some emotional difficulties and differences too. These are hurdles, but if they are overcome or managed well, the advantages can be noticeable.

Why is there such an issue with ego? It’s the whole point... Everything isn’t perfect if you’re looking down at your ego. That is disintegration.

I think it would make sense to create more of a unified approach myself. There are so many who would enjoy furthering the cause and have life purposes aligned with such work. Instead of having one mysterious talking head guy as all content, our mysterious talking head guy could oversee other talented spiritual people making content to expand the high quality library. Idk there is some sense in having things more collective and group-oriented, but there are a lot of limits no matter what.

It sounds like you’re kinda shitting on your own parade man. The relativity of meaning is only a downside if you’re being shortsighted. There are ultimately no limits that have to contain you. You can develop in many different directions. There are levels of meaning you can create for yourself which would make you explode with joy and bliss. It’s a really underexposed idea in spirituality. Everyone is focused on deconstruction and getting rid of attachments and such that they miss the bigger picture. This is your creative roadshow. Stop trying to escape it. You can create the most amazing experience for yourself and in some cases others thanks only to accurate Self knowledge. P.S. - You’re not necessarily wrong with anything you say. From an absolute level, things do not have prescribed meaning. The issue is this realization gives you the freedom to create a very positive or negative outlook. What’s the advantage in choosing a negative perspective for yourself when both are equally valid?

Make sure to keep developing a solid foundation of spiritual/philosophical understanding as you do consciousness work. It will help to remind you where you are and that others have had these things happen to them too.

Yeah if you’re on high dose LSD alone you could easily break the law or do something stupid from a relative perspective. I got quite lucky, and it still cost me a lot. Shrooms are in most cases probably the better option although people need to be cautious and aware of the level of risk.
