Existence is. There is Absolute Permanence about as simply as it can be put. Impermanence is also true in that the appearance, content, etc. of that existence is in constant flux from any viewpoint of the relative world you can have.

I think it’s healthy to constantly reevaluate your worldview. I went through a period of hard skepticism lasting a few months recently. I ultimately came to the conclusion that I am quite certain the God Realization is wise to trust, but I have become agnostic about the causes and mechanics of many strange things I’ve experienced that I used to act like I had answers for. At best, I have okay working theories for those things. All of this stuff such as telepathy, extraterrestrial contact, influence from entities, etc. doesn’t really matter all that much compared to the fact that I created it and everything else I’ve ever experienced intentionally.

This doesn’t sound good. It’s another example of a guide fucking up it sounds like.

This is food for thought. I’m not claiming astrology is anywhere near as detrimental or oppressive as racism, but I think the parallels are interesting. Proponents of astrology are generally unaware of these similarities in structure. When considering race: It’s something you have no control over. You were born this way. The ego becomes heavily identified with this. There is a tendency for this to amplify the perception of distinctions between self and other. A tribal group identity is created. Judgment of those both within your group identity and those outside of it is enhanced. Generalization occurs based upon this. When considering astrological placements: It’s something you have no control over. You were born this way. In those who believe in astrology, the ego becomes moderately to heavily identified with this. There is a tendency for this to amplify the perception of distinctions between self and other. A tribal group identity is created. Judgment of those both within your group identity and those outside of it is enhanced. Generalization occurs based upon this. More minor similarities likely exist, but I think this covers the meat of the topic. Questions to contemplate: Why is it okay or not okay to judge or generalize based upon race? Why is it okay or not okay to judge or generalize based upon astrological placements? Where lies the difference from a virtue- or morality-based perspective when not just comparing the impact of the judgments or generalizations taking place?

@Tim R it’s useful for everyday life changes, which is what most people are after, but it’s not going to take you as far as you can go. That’s just my personal preference.

Also, LSD can be quite unpredictable as far as how quickly you’ll feel effects. I’ve had it take 30 minutes to 3.5 hours before feeling anything.

Full blown dose is 200-350 micrograms. I have no way to tell how much of your solution that will be. See if you can find out how much active ingredient there is in it. My personal opinion — fuck microdosing, just have your full God Realization already ? I’ve had significant nausea problems with shrooms, but no nausea issues at all with LSD. I’d say it’s less important to fast, but it still may be helpful. The benefit is probably that it will be a bit more potent on an empty stomach. This could be little to no difference or quite significant. I’m not sure.

I’ve enjoyed some of his stuff and found it useful. I think it is an interesting and likely positive small addition to my spirituality, but I would say it is best to not make it anything more than that. Personal practice is far more important, and God Realization is where focus should primarily be placed IMO.

Your “knowledge” that your mother didn’t do those things is pure, groundless belief. It is absolutely impossible to know for certain if consciousness exists or does not exist outside of “your consciousness.” This is because the only way to truly prove one way or another would be to be directly conscious of the “other” consciousness, but in doing this you would be using “your” consciousness the entire time.

You seem quite inexperienced with altered states judging from your post and responses. I think you’d be better off getting some experience with high quantities of weed first as you already claim to have tripped from that. Or just take the whole thing. You’ll likely be fine either way unless it has a strong taste and is not LSD.

“For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.” -Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita Maybe the most dangerous advice is that which creates conditions for the ego to persist, and the safest advice is that which results in God realizing itself.

I need to hear some recommendations on this too.

In case you want to see my message to Leo in a “spiritually psychotic” state lol... Namaste Master Leo

My high quality hiking boots turned out to be knock offs. I guess it’s time to give up on my goal to summit Everest. I think you’re giving up a little too easy, but that’s just my opinion.

Sounds like some good progress. Now start using ridiculous doses of dabs/concentrated THC sparingly with little to no tolerance to see it go much deeper ?

Trying to force meditation during a trip sounds like a bad idea. If it’s meant to happen, it comes on its own with no effort involved. At least that’s my experience. My deepest meditation ever was on 10 tabs.

I tried this for the first time last night, and it really surpassed all expectations. How is this not more well known on here?

There is no evil from an absolute perspective. This does not mean evil does not exist. Evil exists as a relative interpretation of reality created by humans or other survival-focused organisms to further the survival agenda. Every mainstream spiritual master has been ego driven. A fully awakened being would not feel the need to teach, preach of Love or God, etc. Jesus and the Buddha are not the highest. The ones you’ve never even heard of are, but it ultimately does the relative world a lot of good that these mainstream partially awakened people did what they did.

Try a different psychedelic. Or use cannabis/THC to control the trip. Terence McKenna spoke on this. I’ve exited my worst trip into a divine experience by taking a couple hits of a vape pen.

A notable mention for me is stopping my car in the middle of the road every time I saw roadkill for a couple months to pick the dead animals, trailing viscera and all, up with my bare hands to place them in a more natural resting place. This is just the tip of the iceberg for me. What are some stories for you guys/gals?

The Bhagavad Gita discusses this. TEXT 37: Arjuna said: O Kṛṣṇa, what is the destination of the unsuccessful transcendentalist, who in the beginning takes to the process of self-realization with faith but who later desists due to worldly-mindedness and thus does not attain perfection in mysticism? TEXT 38: O mighty-armed Kṛṣṇa, does not such a man, who is bewildered from the path of transcendence, fall away from both spiritual and material success and perish like a riven cloud, with no position in any sphere? TEXT 39: This is my doubt, O Kṛṣṇa, and I ask You to dispel it completely. But for You, no one is to be found who can destroy this doubt. TEXT 40: The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Son of Pṛthā, a transcendentalist engaged in auspicious activities does not meet with destruction either in this world or in the spiritual world; one who does good, My friend, is never overcome by evil. TEXT 41: The unsuccessful yogī, after many, many years of enjoyment on the planets of the pious living entities, is born into a family of righteous people, or into a family of rich aristocracy. TEXT 42: Or [if unsuccessful after long practice of yoga] he takes his birth in a family of transcendentalists who are surely great in wisdom. Certainly, such a birth is rare in this world. TEXT 43: On taking such a birth, he revives the divine consciousness of his previous life, and he again tries to make further progress in order to achieve complete success, O son of Kuru. TEXT 44: By virtue of the divine consciousness of his previous life, he automatically becomes attracted to the yogic principles – even without seeking them. Such an inquisitive transcendentalist stands always above the ritualistic principles of the scriptures. TEXT 45: And when the yogī engages himself with sincere endeavor in making further progress, being washed of all contaminations, then ultimately, achieving perfection after many, many births of practice, he attains the supreme goal. TEXT 46: A yogī is greater than the ascetic, greater than the empiricist and greater than the fruitive worker. Therefore, O Arjuna, in all circumstances, be a yogī. TEXT 47: And of all yogīs, the one with great faith who always abides in Me, thinks of Me within himself and renders transcendental loving service to Me – he is the most intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all. That is My opinion. I’d say, if any of this is to be believed, it is quite likely most of us drawn to the form of spirituality here have spent previous lives in pursuance of Truth.

This except change thousands of states and stages to an infinite amount.

Send me a pm if you want to discuss how psychedelics affect depression. IMO, the chance they will help you is greater than the chance of them affecting you negatively long term.

I really don’t consider him enlightened. He’s got some good information/advice that can be quite helpful though.
