Hmm, if you want to read up more on what the Tao symbol means you can read about in in more depth in this book: Cosmic Nutrition It explains Taoist understanding of the universe and holistic human health and has a really deep and interesting chapter on Yin Yang theory. @Arzack Be careful you don't seem to fully understand hand the Tao symbol is used.

5MEODMT Safety Sheet (In progress feel free to offer critiques) 5meodmt trips are unlikely mushrooms, LSD or weed. In my experiences the route of entry, dosage, internal state going into the trip and the setting can play a big role in the overall safety and experience of the substance. Best Practices 1. Trip in an empty room or on your bed with no breakables like glass, sharp corners like heaters etc. It's good to trip on a yoga mat, with a blanket and some pillows in my opinion. I enjoy feeling safe, and having something to hug when the love gets good and maybe I need to cry. 2. If tripping around other people let them know what you are doing. Do not involved others in the trip. They will have no idea what you are doing and will likely be startled. You may no longer have boundaries but they still do. Remember no one else can tell what you are going through. 3. Lay down and do not move during the trip. Stay inside. Always trip inside so you have as much control over variables as possible. As much as it may seem that reality has completely disappeared it hasn't and you will be right back. 4. Always properly weigh and measure dosages. Do not get cocky, though experimentation is okay. 5. Avoid chronically tripping. Multiple trips, especially when vaping in a single setting is okay imo but it shouldn't be done more than once a week, or once every two weeks max. Come back down to earth. I know it may be challenging as the love or insights are so profound that you may just want to live in that space. However, use these insights to fuel your contemplation, meditation, Qigong, yoga or other spiritual practices. 6. I recommend you journal and record dosages, trip times, insights, reactions, mistakes, errors or problems so that you are bringing more conscious intention into the trip. Treat tripping as if you were a scientist. 7. Remember that it is just a trip. You will be back, you still have responsibilities and you should not make any life changing decisions for at least 2 weeks after a trip. 8. Always start with a low does. Personally vaping is my preferred way to trip. I am not a fan of taking a full 20mg all at once. Take 3mg, 3 mg, 5mg, 5mg, 7mg over the course of 3-5minutes. This is how I personally found the best way to stay relatively grounded and to avoid disorientation while tripping alone. 9. If vaping with a dab-rig I recommend using a silicon dab rig as the glass ones are easily knocked over or dropped. (avoid all breakables) 10. Completely give in to the experience, Relax and lay back. It's all Good. 11. Plan your trips 1-2 weeks in advanced and stick to the schedule you give yourself. The best way I have found to avoid potential overuse is to be very strict in setting a distanced schedule giving you time to integrate any previous trips and to ensure you are showing the substance the respect is demands from you. (in progress) Risks Or Dangers 1. Overwhelming fear. Though most of my trips have been very kind and benevolent I have had one trip that was absolute terror. I ran out into my front yard and onto the side walk and then ran right back into my house. I know this was a 'foolish' reaction. However, It's important to remember that this substance is powerful and I was tripping by myself. I was quiet, no one notice or was harmed. 2. Pulling people into your trips. Don't. Trip by yourself or with a trip sitter with pre-agreed upon tripping rules. 3. Walking or moving around. Don't. Stay sitting or laying down. Yes, reality looks beautiful and amazing and you may really want to hold on to reality as you are being sucked into infinity. However, by tripping you are saying to yourself you are ready to fully commit to laying down and being still. WARNING: Even with a strong intention I have found that while vaping I have no memory of my intention before the trip and have walked around in the past. This is no longer an issue however, but when I first had my deepest breakthroughs it was very disorienting for me. (in progress)

Gonna wait awhile and watch reports come in. Good luck Psychonauts ! Don't get cocky always use proper protocol. Most of all, enjoy and I look forward to hearing more about how it effects you. @JosephKnecht I would not do the experiment. That is how you get yourself in trouble. Be discreet and use it for personal use only if at all. You could easily harm 10 unsuspecting people or put yourself in jail.

OMG, I never thought of this. Give me some of that GOAT SEX!!!

I mean, don't knock till you try it you know what I mean?

Can you reduce your hours?

? you wont get a return over that interest

Man, I am just getting warmed up

Bad Epistemology has a massive price to pay. I see the mistakes I make in my own locus of responsibility, I couldn't imagine many people dying because of my ignorance. This is why I am grateful for Leo's teachings and my life long learning.

When buying the book feels like an accomplishment ahahah

Honestly, this is partly why I took accounting. Too much woo can leave you confused

I think I use the term for inner alchemy, which is changing myself into Gold. Changing my inner condition and doing real growth. It's a pretty loaded word. Worth doing a search on Amazon to see what books come up.

@Knowledge Hoarder OP

You contemplate these things because you trying to understand your bias mechanism. Because as long as we judge or hate aspects of reality it keeps up from infinite love. We can act on a bias for survival or practical reasons but we need not let bias lead to suffering or hatred.

I am more scared of suffering than death

Namaste Zen devil Cartman lol

@PurpleTree Yeah the book will make you really look at your shame. I would read it in combination with something lighter, but related.

@Johnny Galt Um, I trust the doctors and medical professionals. Also, don't be a dick. There isn't millions dying. I was overly dramatic and thinking more generally as world leaders. Canada has done a really good job at dealing with Covid. Of course there are risks with the vaccine. Take it. Alberta has by far the highest cases right now and the medical system is having a hard time dealing with it.

Didn't Jesus say the same thing Eckart is saying to some degree? Why u do this christian ego I mean, I bible has been re-written and change many times is just so silly.

@Preety_India Don't be so sure Everything Is Connected! Psycho-cybernetic ahha Plus, there is a psychedelic culture in Silicon Valley.

Sounds like a lack of self knowledge. This is the perfect place to be for the time being. Also sounds like a you are so empathetic that after ending up in some toxic relationship you may be emotionally guarded and exhausted. This happens when you are highly empathetic, but don't understand the nuances of self love, assertiveness and boundaries. You also have a lot of internal warring going on inside yourself. You clearly care about other people, you just don't know how to do it from a mature, conscious place. This is my basic opinion from what I read, and from my own personal experience. Listed some books you may like to take a look at. Books: Not Nice Pathways To Perfect Living Empath Survival Guide

Leo has a good video on Real Vs Fake Growth. This reminds me of psychocybernetics.
