This is the song I had I. Mind for this speech

“I will persist until I succeed. I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny. I will persist until I succeed. The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner. Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult. I will persist until I succeed. Henceforth, I will consider each day’s effort as but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak. The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor the second, nor the third. Each blow, of itself, may be trifling, and seem of no consequence. Yet from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble. So it will be with my efforts of today. I will be liken to the rain drop which washes away the mountain; the ant who devours a tiger; the star which brightens the earth; the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking. I will persist until I succeed. I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows. I will persist until I succeed.

@Fluran Perhaps, I always side on caution. I one time tripped, and then shortly after spoke to a fellow tree planter who had been very negative and nasty. My presence healed and radically changed him. He just needed someone to listen in loving stillness and acceptance. My friend who witnessed it said “That was Epic”…. It was the change in perspective and my study of healing that did it. So, I can see it being useful. I just stress danger ⚠️ ⚠️ Because, it really can be dangerous physically and socially.

@Display_Name Danger ⚠️ “oh baby, just the tip” that’s how it starts next thing you know your at work doing a full break through!!! (Joking) but you should be cautious.

Only you low quality post

@OBEler Sure, you be liberal here and I’ll be conservative. using the most powerful psychedelic while socializing is stupid and dangerous. That’s what my opinion is, partially from some experience I have. Just considering its strength. It’s very dangerous. When it comes to psychedelic use and the social domain, especially… use extreme caution. In general using a psychedelic should have a bit a fear attached

Danger danger danger ⚠️ With your friends just laying on the floor drooling “haaaaaassa……….. haaaaaaaaaaa………haaaaaaaaaa” 5meo ain’t that kinda drug.

Dangerous and dumb ⚠️

Okay here is my question that I find sorta paradoxical If the character can’t awaken, how do you remember your awakenings? How do you contemplate them?

Cut the carp!

@Breakingthewall Well, do you contradict yourself in that comment?

@PenguinPablo No The greatest salesman in the world goes beyond sales, it’s worth reading. and, I will be in sales as j continue to build my own business.

@ted73104 I don’t think so but, how to spot it

@Someone here oh, that’s a bit close for comfort. I would suggest being extra careful posting.

@Princess Arabia Me

I need to get over my tendency to argue or whatever. What OP says has truth to it. Maybe, but it doesn’t seem complete.

@Someone here 2 points for trolling

It’s about social calibration. So, you act stupid because you are emotionally intelligent

@Someone here No, but what I’m saying at least allows for cartoon wolfs to be possible.

But, there is “I” Language really breaks down I think at these awakenings. By creating a duality between “I” and awareness and consciousness I think that may be a problem. There… is I suppose the I beyond the finite I. The God I. The absolute, infinite, final, ultimate person is me. So, I can awaken to that. Because consciousness is absolute, I guess you are right in a sense. That, your finite dream self has to die for you to awaken. But, I think what is left then is an “I”. God I. I’ve been thinking about my experiences on 5meodmt and DMT, implications of solipsism and some insights I gained from Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita…. Toetle,,,, But, I also suspect the “character” can awaken. Because you as a human exist and are consciousness. Awakening to what you are as Svayam Bhagavan I am paradoxical and contradict myself because I contain multitudes There is still much I don’t know. I’m very humble. I really doubt I’ve had my deepest awakenings. I’m patient.

Yeah but thats not likely. I may be wrong, but, how can that thing change the chemistry in your brain?

Okay, but notice that being gay naturally occurs as well. Therefore it's natural. Not every member of a population needs to reproduce. There are some species that have population variances I am pretty sure. Plus, reproduction isn't the only thing that animals do. Even if a gay people don't reproduce... Women give birth to gay children... and will continue to... naturally. Even if it's a deviation... It's not unnatural, and that isn't really an argument that being gay is bad. Don't know, I have met many gay men in my life and they all seem pretty natural to me. Lot's of fun to spend time with. Some even HAVE KIDS. Biological kids. We have tall people, short people, smart people, dumb people, autistic people, gay people, straight people, all kinds of people. People people dancing on the people purple hat cheata print dancin on the people...

@Yimpa I think thats true. I guess, we can add the ability to work through things, practice difficult conversations, conscious communication, and the ability to self reflect. I think a good guy in dating is also a leader. He knows how to be masculine and lead. He has a healthy integrated masculinity.
