  1. I was wondering if you were vaping 5meodmt and 5meomalt if you would be able to clean out the vape/ oil pipe/ dab rig well enough to use it for both chemicals. Or If you use a dab rig could you simply exchange the dab piece and use the same body? I assume it's dangerous to have them mix and I want to avoid a potential bad reaction. Or, do you recommend entirely different vape/ pipe/ dab rig for each chemical? I assume if you clean it well it shouldn't be a problem. But, I am interested in the most minimal risk. I wont be trying it for months. Just planning it out.
  2. @Leo Gura Okay, that is fine. As long as there is no known negative reactions between the two. I know that MALT is not well known yet. It's on us/ me in the end whatever experience I have.
  3. Going bald Just shaved my head today However, you can start practicing a lifestyle that promote longevity. Also, the brain doesn't necessarily degrade if you are healthy and keep working.
  4. So, over the recent months my main focus has been on the practice of Qigong. Which a great practice for the facets that it works on. However, during this time my basic sitting practice was done less frequently as I was focused on yoga and Qigong as I am working on developing a healthier overall body by improve Qi flow and removing stress and tension from the body. I had also fallen into some traps of complacency and distratraction at times. Not for Qigong, but for my other practices. I find I do Qigong pretty much everyday usually 2-3 times a day without problem as I enjoy it so much and am seeing the benefit. Me and my roommate do Qigong all the time... it's pretty amazing. After my recent talk with Nahm I have been returning to my 20 minute sitting practice in the morning before I do Qigong and I have to say they are both incredibly important as they work different aspects of the human experience. If you aren't sitting for 20 minutes daily... START!! The relaxation and clarity I am getting is really really great. I especially enjoy using the Qigong mindfulness practices during the sitting practice. I think taking time everyday to come into your body and the present moment is really important. I was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age and have long struggled with power and difficult emotions. Sometimes I still do. So for me a practice like this is really important as I am still learning about myself and to train my mind. Right now my morning routine consists of 1. Water first thing 2. A short walk 3. 20 minutes mindfulness meditation 4. 25 minutes Journaling 5. 20-30 minutes Qigong I am very glad to be sitting first thing in the morning again. I find the combination of these practices allows you plenty of time to be with your awareness, your thoughts and to release tension in the body. No phones, email, youtube, etc until this practice is complete! for me anyway. I use the mindfulness practice to come home, relax and scan the body, to calm the mind, note feelings, thoughts as they arrise and to do mindfulness technique I have learned. When I journal I move through a series of different journaling exercises used to increase my awareness, reflect on the day previous, write out to do lists, and do affirmations or just let my mind wonder. As Nahm says "Coming home to grand central station" I do different Qigong exercises depending on how my body is feeling. Some days I do Qigong for spinal health, other days for better breathing, hips, or for more esoteric practices like Microcosmic orbit, 5 elements or three treasures. Mindfulness is an ongoing process for me as I am developing a system that works. I have years of anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts so for me to take time to sit, calm and train the mind then address my thoughts with various journaling exercises I am picking up from self help books and then doing either Qigong or yoga to address body tension I see as really important daily practice, or to have elements of these practices throughout your week.
  5. Plenty of reasons and a good thing to contemplate. God is a really loaded term. My grandparents for example are roman catholic... They think calling yourself God is way to egoic and selfish. You are a sinner you know.. Saying you are God is only acceptable in the right contexts I think. Be mindful.
  6. Right now I am releasing short Qigong routines for beginners as I finish up my teacher training program Yeah. Don't underestimate the simplicity of a basic sitting practice. Qigong synergies really well with it for sure as well. Will be releasing Qigong for 10 minute Better Breathing tomorrow morning I believe.
  7. I really like what this could mean for people. You could help people become integrated, healthy, fit and mature men/women!
  8. He doesn't seem overly well by my quick glance of him
  9. @Rilles I definitely still get pissed sometimes and disturbed by what people do. I have resentments etc. I also make mistakes in my life. I know God loves me and will not punish me beyond this life. I will not be doomed to eternal hell fire or something. Any hell I experience will likely be self created due to my own immaturity and ignorance and inability to love myself. However, I realize we are talking about God's love here... Which is my love ultimately and I as a finite human look toward embodying this love intelligently. Liberation is a major part of this work for me. I see this as a very liberating realization. For my life vision and the work I would like to do in my life I think developing this level of love intelligently is really important. Doesn't mean I am a push over, or giving myself or anyone else a free pass to harm others. I realize that the universe and God loves you, but don't fuck with me or harm others. Boundaries, integrity, wisdom and respect are still healthy foundations for a good life.
  10. I Love you! After all is said and done! We are One!
  11. Here is a simple Qigong routine for more energy in the morning or to unwind after a days work. Enjoy!

  13. I think the best thing to do is see it as part of my process. Whatever has happened has been part of my process. Through all this I will become one of the most mature people on the planet. I have had a few trips since some of the scary or strange ones. They have been very peaceful, positive and insightful now I am more comfortable being infinite and my ego has died a bit more. It's interesting, I've done at least 30 trips of 5meo. But it wasn't until I vaped it recently that I really had the non-dual realization.
  14. In this video Tony talks about how during his trip multiple people had to hold him down because it was an overwhelming experience for him. The same thing happened to me, and I was demonized and told I was ungrounded, and being a devil while using 5meodmt on the forum by Leo. I am not necessarily saying I was perfect in my protocol. I was not, but I had never had a trip like that in my entire life... Let's be honest about this substance and it's potential risks for people. Each of us will react differently and the deeper you go there is more risk. No, you are not a devil because you took one of the most powerful psychedelics in the world and did something stupid. You were high and it really scared or disoriented you. Most people are not prepared to trip by themselves. I might be wrong here, but I think we should be promoting tripping under trained supervision and not alone. Then again, there is a lot of benefit of solo trips for people who are mature and experienced. These are powerful substances that you should be reading about, tripping under the guidance of experienced and respected people who can look after you. We need to be honest about how powerful and potentially dangerous these substance are. Young people tripping is alone is a dangerous activity. So be careful. If we are tripping solo things can go south. So, be warned. I am pro-psychedelic in the right context but I have had similar experiences as tony and was demonized by Leo. You are not necessarily being a devil if you have a bad trip. Just saying. Also, not everyone agrees on frequency of usage of these substances. The bottomline is you are playing is a potential fire here. So be very very careful. There could be a year or two a prep-work done before trying some of these substances and a long list of protocol considerations before tripping. -- NOTE: I am not saying I am right here. This is a thought that has been on my mind for a few weeks. This is in someways a wild west and this entire field is in it's infancy. These things are really powerful especially if you are vaping you can go so deep you have no idea what is going on.. Even at very low doses.
  15. I think I need more of this. No more being special no more delusions of being important.
  16. @TheLoneSage The question is, who is the truest Rick?
  17. @Nahm Good! I hate dogmatic children. If my kids aren't open minded I will send them to adoption agency. Did you see in europe there are schools teaching kids to read blind folded?
  18. @Inliytened1 Yea, but when you say that you are implying there is a him and a me. If it's just me and its a game that is fine. As if it wasn't just me, and that I would be mature enough to understand what I am doing to myself and a bubble of infinite potential? It makes no sense. I like Leo, but when he says stuff like "I don't have my own conciousness. It's just you" But he doesn't say like. Jared. It's just Jared. Because he knows that isn't that case. I'd like to wake up now, okay? Enough of this bullshit. Solipsism for me is fine. I don't mind being the only bubble in an infinite void in fact I would prefer it. However, this just isn't the case as far as I can tell. If it was just this qualia, there would be no need for survival, money, taxes, etc unless it was an illusion I created to give me a sense of reality... this is also fine. Super done with the dream right now ahaha ' Anyway gonna go vote for my imaginary prime minister
  19. Self love and give yourself a break
  20. The problem I have, is that if it's just me so much of my experience makes no sense. At the same time, I've only ever experienced this bubble. Yet, the dream seems to be as if others exist. It does not seem as if thing revolve around me. Why would Leo care about any of this if there was just him not not millions of others who is trying to help? I mean, maybe it's just a crazy illusion where God is going overkill to trick itself. Anyway.
