  1. Both equally valuable. Interdependent as well. Experience is right here, right now. But would you know it without knowledge? Knowledge is everywhere around you, but would you learn it without experiencing it? You need experience in order to gain knowledge and knowledge in order to interpret experience. Chicken and egg. Strange loop. Good night.
  2. For me it's wave-like, pulsating as well during meditation. Visual, auditory, bodily and thought sensations are constantly on, off, on, off, like 6 to 10 times per second.
  3. I was struggling with depression and under the impression that my doctor was not really helping me by shoving ssri down my throat. So I began searching the web about depression and stumbled upon Leo's video concerning the topic. This happened maybe a year ago and the snowball is still rolling and gettin' bigger.
  4. So far for me it was the spiral dynamics series. After a rather long process of listening to the videos, reading and contemplating the concepts, I was able to identify certain stages in myself, my family and most importantly the company I work for. Since then I understand specific behaviours of my coworkers and am not surprised anymore when they act like they use to do. This helps a lot with anxiety.
  5. Hi there, I have a badge of sclerotia here which I wanna consume tonight. It's 22 grams of psilocybe tampelandia. But I am afraid. I don't know why but since I received those truffels I'm constantly thinking about what could happen, how many grams I should eat, if I could handle a bad trip, etc. This drives me nuts. I thought I could just go in with an open mind, but with every day passing my anxiety got fiercer. I've had mushrooms once in my life, 5 grams of dried mexicans 17 years ago but I don't remember what happened. What would you do? Eat the whole package? Or eat less than the whole package? And if so, what to do with the remaining truffels? Or don't eat them at all? Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
  6. Thank you guys. After I had eaten the stuff, I sat down to meditate and 30 minutes later I'm hit by a fountain of concentration, swimming into concentration states I had never seen before and then suddenly emotion, like pure orgiastic joy ... and serotonin and depression and ssri and 5htp it all makes sense now. Thank you very much!
