It definitely works for that purpose. If you're skilled with Witchcraft/LOA sober you will be amazed by how much easier it is on psychadelics. Highly recommended. Just don't make the trip too strong. It also depends on the substance - the more you can set the direction of the trip the better. So it probably wouldn't work with 5 meo. If you're going to go the subliminal route then don't forget to use some affirmation repeater. Wabbajack subliminals and Absolute Power Subliminal have some very strong boosters.

Every substance is multiple times stronger while fasting.

People get into spirituality either because they experienced a legitimate mystical experience before they were interested in it, or because they want a better life (pop mindfulness, which eventually develops into a serious practice). Both can eventually lead to enlinghtenment, the first reason probably more often. Curiosity (Leo Gura type of people) leads you to get your first mystical experience without really striving for it and start taking spirituality seriously (whih is the same as the first reason). You could sum it up as insight vs liberation. Of course those intersect, and most people care about both.

Watch this. My takeaway from this video is that you basically take 2 - 4 week break where you give up whatever you are addicted to completely and then you use it once in a while. After the break you can still use YT for entertainment, but only once a few days let's say. https://youtu.be/oRwmrFoTGMk

Search Leo's advice on heavy metals detox and consider it. Get on some adaptogenic herbs. Namely rhodiola rosea in the morning/during the day & ashwagandha before sleep. Clean up your diet. Doesn't have to be complicated, just eat whole foods that you make yourself & follow common sense. It wouldn't hurt to read a book or two about healthy food though. Get a reverse osmosis water filter. That should do wonders for your energy levels & allow you to be way more effective.

20m to spend on whatever my heart desires (read: waste 20m on things that won't fullfil me) 50m on my LP. 30m invested in a way so I don't have to work for the rest for my life. Which would be easy as my country's average salary is 1k a month. So even a few percent above inflation is good enough. 10m charity. If I don't spend all that on my LP I'd donate it to help some ecological cause.

Lol ?

Good idea if you take a low to medium dose most of the time and reserve the high doses for a more appropriate time. Every time when you feel like you're starting to develop tolerance switch to a different substance.

You should decrease time spent on YT gradually. While watching YT ask yourself why are you doing it. You can use short answers, but they have to be genuine.

I'm not really sure if I am doing it correctly - I am certain when I hit the first 2 jhãnas but when I get to experience 4th (well, what I think is 4th) it doesn't feel correct, even though it dramatically decreases my sleep need for that day (from 8 -9 hours to 4 - 5). It's kind of like the experience is growing in intensity but stops just before it should get interesting. Do you go smoothly from one jhãna to another or do you go in & out of them?

Which jhãnas do you have access to? Also do you notice that there's a difference in strength session to session? I think it's called "soft jhãnas" but they always make me unsure of whether I practice correctly when I experience the soft versions.

Feels similar to synesthesia? Like the "glow's flavor" changes depending on how high & different their consciousness is? That's how I perceive the differences between teachers/teachings. I think it's kundalini related.

Can you sit on a chair? Or a couch? You don't have to sit cross legged. Or maybe walking meditation. That does wonders for keeping you aware the whole time.

This is a really nice description. I see them as two different flavors of increasing consciousness. Introspection is more intellectual, yet it increases mindfulness. Mindfulness is more technical and it helps you get more introspective "power". I'd define introspection as using mindfulness to arrive at an answer to internal questions. Mindfulness as increasing your ability to notice without getting lost in stories. You don't need both, it's just better to do both if you want to life fully.

Actualized.org counts as a yellow & turquoise business. Mental health workers who use psychadelics correctly are mostly yellow. I consider wikipedia yellow-ish (mix of orange & yellow).

All consciousness work is accelerated during a fast. Make sure to do more of it than you do normally.

Good & bad exists only from a relative/finite POV. It's as real as you shopping for food.

45m to 1h meditation a day, trying to stay mindful during daily activities & shaktipath. There's a channel named "SIDDHANTA YOGA" on YT. I'd recommend watching transmission number 3 once a day, the video is 3 minutes long. And maybe read one book about awakening, spirituality etc. once a month. If you do it right your daily AVERAGE would be about an hour. If has to take exactly 1 hour every day then choose between meditation or shamanic breathing.

This video helped me re-experience the mystical experience that got me into spirituality in the first place. Me guiding me to experience me.

I'd go all out on meditation. At least on your first retreat. I recommend that first day your first session is 45m long, second 1h and then 1.5h and then 1.5h sessions. It will permanently supercharge your meditation. Then you can experiment with different stuff.

True contemplation forces you to be more mindful in order to answer the question. You ask the question and observe.

They usually use old meat, otherwise it would be quite healthy - you get a lot of micro nutrients from the vegetables, protein from the meat and it has a lot of calories (which I see as a benefit). People who are into health & fitness often have this strange mentality that tells them less calories is better. If you're not overweight there's no reason to fear calories. What's even more funny is that all the zero calorie products are branded as a health food. If it has zero calories it literally just means that you're consuming nothing but flavor (which is usually cheap chemicals). The only "zero" calorie products you should use are vitamin supplements, nootropics etc.

Adaptogens, meditation, moderate excersise & a healthy diet. Anything that helps you digest food better is great for energy - intermittent fasting or maybe once a week 36 hr water fasting, learning correct food combinations, not drinking while eating (either 0.5h before food or 1h after)... Also many people don't realise they have problems with gluten or lactose, so maybe experiment with that. A lot of illnesses start in the gut.

That's completely normal & healthy. Many women have such fantasies.

Nice. That's what I am planning to do. Thanks for sharing.
