Reading books is not an accomplishment.

Your dad is right.

My ex-wife was from Colombia. I have been there dozens of times. It just shows he is picking up women of ill repute in order to get layed and has no ability to judge character. More proof that all PUAs are frauds.

It’s a matter of your personal preferences. In my opinion, Hollywood movies are shallow trash and foreign countries are producing superior content. I’m also not impressed by most of the American spiritual teachers.

Not telling your therapist about a psychedelic is like taking a heart medication and then going to see you doctor, without telling him, and expecting it to somehow turn out all right. Stan Grof is one of the pioneers of LSD therapy. If you are interested in using LSD then you should seek out a therapist who has been trained in a method of therapy using LSD. The problem is that if you have a serious freakout reaction, you need a healer who knows what he or she is doing. The healer can guide you so that you liberate energy as opposed to being retraumatized. The healers I have seen at shamanic ceremonies have a natural gift for guiding people through these experiences. I doubt there are many therapists that have a clue on how to do this. Taking psychedelics alone is called entertainment.

My opinion is that LSD is too much in the head and not a good choice. My most powerful experiences of connection have been with San Pedro (Huachuma). It takes me from my head into my heart like no other medicine. San Pedro has a natural form of mescaline. It is used in a day ceremony where you can connect with nature and other people. You heal each other in a safe container.

Any belief that forms an identity which fuels anger and hatred is low consciousness and will bite you in the ass. The pretense won’t reduce your suffering.

I recently met a guy at an ayahuasca ceremony who was a monk for several years in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery. It was his first time. I have been meditating for years and I could tell from his demeanor that he was way advanced. I asked him to describe his trip. He said that mother aya came to him and asked him how far he wanted to go. He said: “I want to go as far as you can take me”. She then unleashed and sent him on a deep journey, and then came back and said ok now let’s get to work.

I have learned to give these medicines the greatest respect. That’s why I do ceremonies. It’s about respecting their power and holding space. At any moment, they can decide to take you into uncharted territory and farther down the rabbit hole than you are prepared to go. Less medicine is better.

Here is a well done video on Tate by a criminal lawyer.

Thank you for this video. It clearly shows that he is a con artist and a criminal.

He should contradict himself. God can't be contained in a logical box.

There are many philosophies and religions that will give you a simple and non-contradictory definition of God. The problem is that they are all wrong. Osho treats the subject with the respect that it requires.

The scribes of the vedas talked about "soma". That would be a good place to start an investigation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma_(drink)

I personally wouldn’t go near someone serving 5-meo or Bufo that hasn’t been trained. My guide went through a rigorous training from a shaman in Mexico City. It’s a lot of responsibility. If you are professionally serving others you need to be able to properly screen and also be capable of handling worst case scenarios. At minimum, if you don’t know CPR, you are setting yourself up for a murder charge.

He laid down some serious truth in less than four minutes. Most people were listening to their own internal gab and didn't hear what he was saying.

It would be more interesting to see a study of how Tate has managed to use the social networks of the Internet to explode his reputation. There is obviously an exponential property of information propagation at work. (i.e., 1 tells 2, 2 tells 4, 4 tells 8....) It doesn’t matter whether your post is positive or critical, it is still the spread of information. For the forum owner, the issue is whether to allow his forum to be hijacked to support somebody else’s business model or to ban any further reference.

If you listen to the video, he was referring to the idea of "God" as a projection of the father. A psychological projection has no basis in reality.

You are repeating information that is generated by the social media rumor mill and have no idea if it is true. The one thing I like about Mexico is that people tend to be less judgmental and mind their own business. If you don’t like him you can go somewhere else. The alternative is America where everything is illegal.

Is there any value to having a outrage thread? The most important thing is that he states his procedures so that there is prior consent. Some people actually want someone who is active and they seek him out. There are people who like being Mormons. All the rules would drive me crazy. Different people have different needs. I personally prefer female guides because they are more intuitive and let the medicine do its work without interference. Octavio is at the other end of the spectrum. He interferes too much for me.

It’s the whole concept of “pick-up” that is a trap. I urge men to ditch this marketing gimmick and not use their childish terminology that will only set you back. If you see a woman in whom you have interest then approach her and start a conversation. Referring to it as “pick-up” and that it is “cold” is unnecessarily trapping yourself into a false paradigm. Pick-up is a trap but talking to a woman is not a trap.

Octavio is working with hard core drug addicts which may explain some of his methods. Shamen put healing above safety and comfort. I wonder how many of those clients were previously participating in “safe” and ineffective programs leaving them slowly dying. He also uses large release doses which affects the dynamics of the ceremony. Practitioner who criticize him may not be using full-release doses. I don’t fully understand his use of water. I find that the medicine takes control of the breathing process and one should be left alone to breath naturally. Although some may have allergic reactions and need assistance with breathing. I first learned about Bufo when I lived in Mexico. My general doctor hooked me up with my first guide. My current guide takes the Bufo with me and guide’s me with her pure energy and no physical interference. She has guided police officers and veterans of the Iraq war without use of physical coercion.

In the interaction with the pink-haired man, Tate ridicules his physical weakness and emphasizes the need for physical strength and the ability to fight. However, practically speaking, fighting in our society is a losing strategy. Tate is himself an example of this. His success comes from his gift for gab and not fighting. Or look at someone like Trump. Trump would lose a fight to a teenage girl he is so out of shape. But he managed to become president of the United States. The lesson learned from both is that teaching men to speak well is more likely to contribute to success. In Tate’s Hustler University, he promotes losing strategies for success like stock trading and options, providing worthless advise in these money losing areas. “The highly-skilled trades professor, supposedly hand-picked by Tate because of his knowledge, ability, and expertise, is an idiot. If you try to follow his weekly recommendations, you’ll most likely go broke within a month or two. For every ten recommendations, he makes, only one comes out the way it is supposed to. It seemed to me that he was clueless about what’s happening worldwide and how that affects the market. I’m not a great trader myself, but even I know there’s a vast difference between bull and bear markets. I think the guy was just used to trading in a bull market and forgot that we live in times when the economy is receding and where most, if not all, of the stocks are declining in value. “ https://deefunnels.com/hustlers-university-review-scam-or-legit/ If Tate is really pro male, why doesn’t he promote the dignity of a man having a trade, like auto mechanics or plumbing? His emphasis is holding out the promise of easy money through internet scams or stock trading. Tate appeals to heterosexual young men who have grown up in an era of angry feminism promoted by toxic progressives, particularly in America. Many of these men grew up with single mothers. They feel that they are marginalized by a progressive ideology that puts them down for being men and wanting to be masculine. Heterosexual men are made to feel shame or guilt for being who they are. Tate’s solution to the toxic form of feminism promoted in the United States is to be a hustler and a high roller. There is another alternative. Walk through life as a man without apology. Be a leader guided by your own intuition and not triggered by the worthless opinions of the surrounding toxic culture.

I only watched the first 20 minutes, but he does a pretty good job of going through JP sentence by sentence and showing that his “profound” arguments are nothing more than twaddle. JP talks about climate science, of which he knows nothing, and uses the word “everything” as a rhetorical distraction. This is why Plato hated the sophists. The fact that it takes hours to deconstruct is the reason why verbal hucksters are so successful. They have the verbal ability to sound erudite in real time without having said anything significant, when you look at it more closely.

I do a full dose every month. I have a guide and she takes the bufo after me and she guide’s me on the journey. She helps me to release and connect with my heart. If you are a beginner, I strongly recommend having a guide or facilator that knows what they are doing and have seen a few worst case scenarios. Some guides have shamanic powers that can direct your trip to a healing intention.
