Sounds pretty intense. I never heard of this technique of taking it before sleeping. But I probably wouldnt want to have such an reality-shattering experience and I imagine it can be very hard to integrate such an experience afterwards. Thanks for sharing!

Have you shared a more detailed trip-report of this experience anywhere here on the forum? Did you do this method once or multiple times? And how did you integrate this experience afterwards?

Then go for this one: There are still some amazing highly creative genius regisseurs out there like Paul Thomas Anderson or Giorgos Lanthimos.

Daniel Pinchbeck has been following and reporting on all of this very thoroughly over the last months. I have been binging his substack way too much in the last weeks, this is a good and insightful overview.

Im located exactly in the blindspot - the "toter Winkel" in german.

They are probably abiding in deep states of non-dual awareness

Really interesting.

This is one of the most insane movies ever made, but still an artistic-masterpiece with Stanley Kubrick-level production:

At what dosages do you notice these effects? I tried 0,5mg to 2mg to sleep a few times, but I always woke up more tired and with headaches.

Yes it is insane what is happening in USA right now. We can see live and right in front of our eyes how an authoriatarian fascist regime gets instantiated. And still the podcast-bros are mostly concerned with the authoritarianism of the democrats and the "deep state". They will have a harsh wake-up realizing they are on the wrong side of history. It is exactly like Leo explained the devil.

I think the error of thinking that leads to a weird form of Solipsism is exactly expressed in your sentence. When you think it as "your" mind or "my" mind it makes it seem like Mind is owned by self. But no singular self is in possession of universal Mind, rather universal Mind is the container for self.

Yes the metaphor of dissociative personality-disorder is from him but this is how I make sense of these experiences and Solipsism.

And I think the error stems from the premise that we can directly experience and prove All of Truth within our bubble of experience, but we cant prove this premise within our bubble of experience.

I think there is one universal Mind and we all are fundamentally this one universal Mind. But in the same way someone with dissociative personality-disorder can have multiple personalities with different memories and character-traits associated - each of which dont have access into each other although they are running on the same brain - big Mind dissociates into multiple minds/different bubbles of experience, which dont have access into each other as long as they are in the process of dissociation - which is life. When we have an enlightenment-experience or an ego-death experience we lose our identification with ego/self/the body and therefore identify only with this one universal Mind, but as long as the process of life/dissociation is going we still only have access to our own little bubble of experience. Then we have the experience of being this one universal Mind but still only see it from the limited perspective of our bubble of experience and interpret it as Solipsism.

Yes, this feels like the Mother of all of those and my favourite guitar in a song ever

Nice! Reminds me of this one:

Yes, this was great fun! This is another one with Mads Mikkelses, which was very thrilling, although not so much fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieLIOBkMgAQ

This is a good summary of the evidence of creatine on cognitive-performance:

Whereas previously creatine was mostly well known for increasing athletic-performance and used by fitness-people and bodybuilders recently way more people started talking about the cognitive-benefits of creatine and these seem to be more accentuated on higher dosages:

Yes, I love taking creatine but I cant since it increases hair-loss and hair-thinning for me.

With Qualia Mind the quality of my meditation is noticably increased. Oxiracetam sounds pretty interesting for meditation since it enhances the senses, I need to try it, but so far I only got my hands on Piracetam, Aniracetam and Noopept.
