But my guides don't use it. In Mexico, they believe Bufo with all the alkaloids gives you a different quality of experience. In America, they tell you there is no difference. Who to believe? Take your pick. The Bufo works well for me so I don't have any reason to change.

Because I do it in Mexico, and that is what they use.

I have started vaping Bufo Alvarius alone after doing it over two years with a guide. I have been told some of the risks by an experienced facilitator. He has had one person whose heart stopped and had to be revived with CPR. The other risk is that you forget to breath. The Bufo seems to deactivate the pain circuits that give you pain when you hold your breath. When you cross over it is so blissful you may decide to stay. An experienced guide will be able to detect this and do things to revive you.

I have done changa once. I saw geometric patterns and it was relaxing. It wasn't that strong. But I don't know what the dosage was.

I attended a small group led by Blanton many years ago. He practices what he preaches and radical honesty in relationships is the way to go.

The predominant therapy in America is cognitive therapy with its claim to be evidenced based In criticizing cognitive therapy, Janov makes the distinction between statistical truths and biological truths: “Cognitive therapy seeks statistical truths to corroborate their hypotheses and theories; these theories are too often intellectual constructs that do need statistical validation. We are after biological truths beyond mathematical facts. The studies I cite do not prove anything. What they do is indicate a kind of universality, a continuum, to all kinds of organic life. These studies are corollaries, not separate, inviolate realities; a kind of intellectual genuflection to the left brain. But without contact to the right brain those realities are confined to the intellectual. Anything can be true with statistics because they ignore biologic realities. They can be manipulated in all ways. All this may escape those who have no entry into the right-brain unconscious, where history and feelings lie. Those in cognitive therapy are able to “feel better,” but confuse that with getting better because they can use language and words to suffocate pain. They use thoughts to anesthetize feelings and imagine and think that all is well.” “There is a world of the deep unconscious that needs to be explored; an unconscious from our animal legacy. That unconscious can never be understood in verbal language.” Janov, Arthur. Primal Healing: Access the Incredible Power of Feelings to Improve Your Health (Kindle Locations 137-141). New Page Books. Kindle Edition. Janov based his primal therapy on biological facts. However, it has had mixed results. In my opinion, he has the correct approach but his therapy was developed in the 1960s when knowledge of the brain was even more limited than today. What is needed is a Manhattan Project level initiative to do the biological investigation needed to come up with a science based psychotherapy. Realistically, the government is the only entity that can fund this. When you think of it, the US spent 3 trillion dollars on a useless war in Iraq. For 500 billion dollars, a therapy could be developed, say for 10 to 20 sessions, which would cure a wide range of neurosis. The savings to the medical and social systems (e.g., healthier people needing less care, a reduction of violence), would more than pay for it. But the current state of consciousness of society considers war and conflict to be valid solutions.

"I have set for myself a rather daunting task: to demonstrate that no therapy that uses words as the predominant mode of treatment can succeed at creating any profound change in the patient. This includes all insight therapies, cognitive therapy, rational emotive therapy, hypnotherapy, psychoanalysis, biofeedback, eye movement desensitization and reprocesssing (EMDR), and guided imagery/directive daydreaming. All of these can help, but none can make a profound change in personality or provide profound, lasting relief. I would have disagreed with this proposition when I originally practiced psychoanalytic, insight therapy many decades ago. My patients agreed that they felt differently after treatment, and believed that they had made major changes in their lives. Now I am more than skeptical. I have now seen what more is possible. Profound personality change is impossible on the level of words, or even on the level of emotions; there is no venting or “getting it out,” such as crying and screaming, that will bring about any true or lasting change. For true and lasting change to occur, deep levels of the brain must change physiologically, enabling key structures within the brain to recalibrate to optimal, healthy levels. Furthermore, such change will only come about when those parts of the brain that hold deeply imprinted memories can connect neurochemically with the parts of the brain that underlie the more rational, thinking aspects of our minds, such as the frontal neocortex. No amount of talk-based therapy will ever bring about such a connection because there is little activation of the subcortical structures that mediate the deeply imprinted memories, yet this connection is vital if more substantial progress in psychotherapy is to occur. Conventional psychotherapy has been imbued with the belief that good mental health is a product of your mind—a result of your thinking, logical, rational, prefrontal cortex; in brief, that you can think your way to health. Yet neurosis, a physical and mental deviation of a normal system, is not laid down in the brain as an idea but as an experience, one that leaves a physiological trail. Because of this, any psychotherapy that relies on words and ideas cannot change neurosis." Janov, Arthur. Primal Healing: Access the Incredible Power of Feelings to Improve Your Health (Kindle Locations 226-229). New Page Books. Kindle Edition.

Janov explained talk therapy as the equivalent of receiving 30 mg of Prozac. It feels good to have someone listen to you. So the client gets addicted to the attention and once addicted is willing to pay a high price for something that won’t change him in anyway.

I agree. It is a difficult journey, but liberating. https://youtu.be/RR9P7ksKktM

I have been researching Iboga. If the reports about it are correct, it could be the best one for healing.

In the video he says that he is an atheist. But now he is reading the Koran. How can this be solid advice with such variability in opinion depending on the date? And the advice on caring for yourself is just growing up and being an adult. By his own admissions, we know that anything he says is going to be to further his own interest.

As for Tate's business skills, a criminal makes profits of 1000 percent, or some other huge number. They can’t run a business like a grocery store that has to survive on 6% profit margin. The downside is you either get wacked by a bigger thug or end up in prison like the Tate brothers. I seriously doubt anyone on this forum would last one day as a criminal. It is all immature fantasy. But the fact that he has followers shows that stage orange has become toxic. There is no sense of community, people are becoming isolated, and they have an inner anxiety that they are living in a society where it is every monkey for himself. They are responding to the underlying unspoken beliefs of the culture. This goes way beyond Tate.

I understand totally your reactions. Christianity is a toxic dogma. Give yourself credit for getting in touch with your feelings and recognizing that you have been violated. Now, you have to deal with the anger and get to the feeling underneath, like hurt, sense of betrayal, violation of boundries, and so forth. The anger will still bind you to the toxic dogma. Freedom comes when your feelings to the dogma become neutral. For a spiritual path, there are options that don't require toxic made-up beliefs. Here is one helpful channel that has helpful advice with a Taoist orientation, and has a path for healing. https://www.youtube.com/@WuWeiWisdom

Forbes has an informative timeline. The Tate brothers home was first raided back in April 2022. They are held on human trafficking charges, one of the suspects (unidentified) is also charged with rape. There six victims identified. Prosecutors “continue their investigation into human trafficking and organized crime”. If the investigation has been expanded to “organized crime” over the two charges, that could take some time. It’s interesting that the Tate brothers had a chance to get out of town back in April. But they were too smart for that. They play three dimensional chess. https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2023/02/01/andrew-tate-again-appeals-romanian-detention-his-human-trafficking-charges-explained-and-a-timeline-of-the-social-media-stars-controversies/?sh=59c578e94e6e

I have a guide. She takes the bufo after I do. I can feel her guiding me, but she can only go so far with me and then I am on my own.

I vape Bufo Alvarius. It takes about a minute to go in. It's very fast. Keep in mind that in the youtube videos where people freak out - the Bufo could be mixed with something else like DMT or Datura. You need to know your source.

The Christian missionaries have shoved their ideology down the throats of natives for centuries. They opened up boarding schools run by pedophiles to abuse their native students. The churches are full of abusers. Native leaders in Brasil, Colombia, and Peru are being murdered by developers who want their land. These conservative crybabies haven't received even 1 percent of what they have dished out. They are in a protected bubble and panic when even just a little air gets in.

Some details of the evidence are starting to leak out. Yes, they do have evidence. https://www.insider.com/andrew-tate-raped-victim-twice-court-documents-say-report-2023-2

According to the below link, Tate has hired Tina Glandian to represent him. https://www.bbc.com/news/wor”ld-europe-64485965 “Ms. Glandian serves as a United Nations representative for the Armenian International Women’s Association, which is part of the Commission on the Status of Women whose mission is to promote gender equality and the empowerment of women.” https://geragos.com/attorneys/tina-glandian/ It’s interesting that he hires a high powered feminist lawyer to get him out of roach motel.

I don’t find the words “raise your consciousness” to be particularly edifying. I prefer the Shinzen “shoe” test. You have been meditation day and night for two weeks and at the end of the retreat you discover that someone took your shoes. How do you react? If you get angry and upset, that is evidence that you haven’t become detached and your meditation didn’t have a lasting affect. If someone tells me that they are infinity, God, enlightened, life is a dream, etc., I’m not interested. But if you tell me that you have just noticed that things your brother did that use to annoy now you don’t even notice. I say that is huge and you have made a permanent change. If you can forgive you mother. Huge. Real change. You can now let go of negative thoughts more easily. Real change. Someone insults you, and instead of feeling anger, you feel compassion. Nice job.

What I want to know is how "infinity" helps you when you have a flat tire? Or any other shit comes up. Does your mind remain calm and in equilibrium, or even joyful?

Al Capone was put away for tax evasion and not for all the crimes and murders he committed. If they can do the same for the Tate brothers, then so be it.

I have done a lot of Bufo Alvarius, you have amazing experiences, but the next day it is just a memory. The same problem with Ayahausca. Lately, I have been looking into Iboga. From what I have been reading about Iboga, it could bring about permanent changes. The Iboga actually goes into your past and shows you the most important events that influenced you and gives you a chance to resolve your issues. This is really something valuable, if you can heal your past-created mind to free you to have a joyful life. I am beginning to question the usefulness of the “enlightenment” model. Healing is what we need. Expanding out of the mind-created prison is what I am looking for. I am looking at the Iboga retreats. I don’t like the hospital model and i don’t have any drug addictions.

You aren’t going to get an unbiased insight into the case by listening to a clown like Paul Watson. We have to wait for the evidence. Keep in mind that in even a relatively straight forward case, it took prosecutors over a year to charge Alec Baldwin. And gathering evidence for the Tate brothers case is more complicated. It’s not true that they are being held without due process. The judge has reviewed the current evidence and ruled that there is a “reasonable suspicion” of a crime. Romania is a civil law country where the judge takes an active role and acts like an inquisitor directing the investigation. That means the judge is intimately familiar with the facts and can make a ruling. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64428277

Yes, yes and yes. The Tate brothers exploit the men even more brutally than they exploit the women. But young men are too immature and naive to see it. They worship the thug who cheats them. Keep in mind, if some guy is bragging how he tricks and manipulates people, you can infer that he will also trick and manipulate you. There is no honor among thieves. As for the girls, its always a man (i.e, pimp) in the background that is controlling the women. In Colombia, it is a male gang leader who controls the women who scopolamine men and rob their cash.
