No, I doubted it. Then looked into it. Then I found and share the clip. Now I’m a believer @Leo Gura 😞

@Lucasxp64 Those video's don't prove scam at all. The titles are misleading and it's likely these complainers have specific issues, gripes or biases with regards to Bryan his goals, vision, impact and values. Like, the first guy was clearly someone who was pro meat. Bryan chooses not to eat meat based on his interpretation of science. That doesn't make it a "Scam". You can think he is wrong about the science, but is that really scam? And, the second guy is petty af. He shares his own biases and opinions. Not interested. You sometimes have to ask... Why believe this guy over that guy? These guys are far less intelligent and useful than Bryan Johnson. @Natasha Tori Maru Yeah, It's interesting. I am aware of his AI vision for health, which is likely true that an AI could help people really be healthy. I personally think some balance of using biometrics and AI, and your own preferences and direct experience could be useful in maximizing health. He has hired a whole team of doctors to work for him a far as I know. He spends about 2million a year. A particular doctor rejecting him as a patient doesn't mean much. Someone simply disagreed with him. His experiment is N 1. But, that's why he suggest that you do what works for you and for YOU to follow the data. He promotes sleep, eating well, exercise, etc.. Plus more technical protocols. I have no problem with someone doing this and studying longevity. I find it really interesting

@Nemra Yeah, I mean. You live life your way. He will live it his. I think longevity, even if it doesn't mean you live forever is ideal for a good life. That is why I enjoy him.

@Nemra He loves life!

@Motar AI says you are beyond measure haha. I wonder.

@Nemra Yeah, that's a core of it.

@OBEler Really? I doubt that. That is wild! 😜

Yeah, but he is exploring these substances just beginning. It’s interesting to see.

It looks and sounds really good. I don’t know you that well, or why I would listen to you yet. There is a subtle parroting perception I have initially. But, I think you are making good work.

@Natasha Tori Maru Not sure he has tattoos. Pretty certain there is no mental illness.

To you.

@theoneandnone

I think there are insights, states, and various degrees of understanding consciousness. I think a human, vs an ant is one example. So is a human in a higher vs lower state. There are things you can't grasp in a sober state, that are true about consciousness. I think there is this tendency for some people to posture up, and say well "It's all consciousness", or that "Direct consciousness is just what is"... Which is true. This moment, and everything in it is direct consciousness. Perhaps, people then say "well meditation is the only way to grasp this". This I think is a mistake because you are actually chained to your "human" nervous system and brain chemistry. In their, any thought or technique you would do is simply adjusting the nervous system, brain chemistry, etc. This is the double standard of this view. I for one, don't believe in "enlightenment" as a singular thing. I've experienced, and witnessed infinity, and many divine understandings of consciousness through 5meodmt and nndmt and my own contemplations. I'm grateful to be able to contemplate this deeper. There is surely a paradox between me being consciousness, and even having access to direct consciousness now, and forever... and the value of a psychedelic for understanding and accessing higher states of consciousness.

And my dog, and the fly stuck in the window too?

I say it because I am speaking from direct consciousness and you are, in this case, quoting external authority figures. Something, I am not completely clean of either.

@Basman He doesn't argue in good faith I think. It's about him being right.

Bashar is just entertainment. It’s not real.

Really contemplate this…

@UnbornTao I mean, enlightenment or awakening isn’t the opinion of someone else at the end of the day. You have the experience or access the state and you know. This idea that awakening has to come from a technique like meditation but not a technique like tripping is kind of strange to me. It’s a weird bias after enough contemplation.

@UnbornTao You sure about that?

@Daniel Balan Bro, you can put 10 bucks away for 4 months and buy it. You are making excuses.

@Leo Gura If you do one in Canada I am down. I don't plan to ever to the states unless things really change.

It's an interesting question... Could you reach the Alcohol state by meditating? The Marijuana state? The LSD State? The nn-DMT State? Why is it so common people ask if they can reach the 5meodmt state?

Which pretty much means you wouldn't understand infinity anymore likely.

@Meeksauce Um, Idk. I find it's so expansive that time and past and present can seem like they never existed and all of reality was always and has always been this sort of moment that exists and doesn't exist at the same time. But, this is my ego projection it's more than this. It generally is very benevolent and graceful. 5meodmt taught me levels of forgiveness and wisdom I couldn't have found without that state. I think meditation and relaxation can help. If you can afford a massage that would be nice. Try doing some relaxing pranayama. Eat well, sleep well. All this can assist I think. Also, making sure to be in a clean environment, with relaxing music helps. I also like to set a timer I can refer to as it helps me stay a bit more grounded and I feel more secure when I can see time is passing when I glance at it. I also don't let myself move around during the timer. Make sure you trip somewhere that is really comfy too. A relaxing, natural high quality incense can be great too. Also, having a journal to write it afterward. And having a clear schedule for the rest of the day. I would measure out the dose, and have some there for when you feel safe enough to go deeper. I personally wade the water low dose even now when I haven't tripped for months. I start low, feel safe enough and I take more and increase the dose. I would trip later that day with a larger dose or the following day. Once I feel safe, I can take a solid dose and really go into it without resistance which is key. If the trip is uncomfortable, I find doing another trip helps as odd as that sounds, 24 hours later.
