@Bazooka Jesus Just wow! Thank you for the inspiration! Love the gun barrel simile, never heard it before. We had a similar simile in coach training where they said that lower levels of consciousness corresponds to heavy blinders on, and as we move up towards higher consciousness the blinders open more and more... I find it amazing how so many of us here on the forum (temple of Love) are waking up to that everything is Love and that we are all One. I never heard this emphasized this much anywhere else, and so many actually realizing it. It's so marvelous and beautiful. I also love how there's this superhuman level of openness and wisdom and how it all comes back to Love. It floors me every time. Feeling so damn grateful to be part of it all.

@WaveInTheOcean Thank you for sharing, very inspiring! *Building up courage for another DMT-cannon explosion*

@VincentArogya Oh my lord... thank you for this! I found a new role model, just marvelous. I wish I was brave enough to open my heart like that, I know I want to. That chuckling and smile is pure Love. Resonates so much with insights that have been coming lately. "In spiritual work you launch off into the... into the infinite... and there's no end to it, therefore you can never reach your goal. It just goes on becoming ever more wonderful..." *chuckles from the heart* "Love doesn't solve questions, it dissolves them." (paraphrasing)

@Kingston Love it!

As an INFP nothing feels better than being my authentic self (first name and picture). I'm very much inspired by Leo's openness. I also dream about coaching people who are working with psychedelics and am working up the courage to tell family and others what I'm up to. And to make it an official niche for my business. Funny thing is an old friend just contacted me after seeing my posts, sharing he/she is also into psychedelics now, that would never have happened if I was anonymous. I'm also glad I didn't put my last name, it makes it a bit harder to find. It is more likely that someone who finds my posts are already into psychedelics or at least open-minded about it. Yes, it does affect what I post. Still I find it very rewarding and satisfying to be truthful and authentic. It's challenging myself to be more honest and genuine. I'm careful especially when it comes to other people close to me, who could be identified. I would ask their permission first. I do envision a future when psychedelics are legalized and we can be much more open with less fear about social or legal conscequences. At the same time, I feel like some people ought to start opening up this subject, before these things are accepted and legal, to make it so. I feel called to this and am open to face the potential negative consequences. I imagine there could be stigmatization, some people leaving me and possibly persecution. But on the upside, imagine all the magic in the world if more people discovered psychedelics - WOW. I just can't deny that vision. With all this said, if someone wants to be anonymous that's completely understandable and I still very much appreciate all the contributions being made here. Seems like this forum would never have happened if users couldn't be anonymous.

First of all. I find that taking b-vitamins (nutritional yeast) and wheatgrass supplements greatly helps with hangover. I also do it for mushroom and LSD trips (before and after) to the point of having no head aches or tiredness etc the day after. I forced myself to stay away from alcohol for years as a meditator (including university). Then as I was becoming more relaxed about precepts and opening my heart, I heard Eckart Tolle drinks 1-2 glasses of wine occasionally (and coffee). He said - paraphrasing - if my consciousness can't handle a glass of red wine, then what is it worth? LOL. I went through a period of trying out all kinds of drinks and having a lot of fun with it. For a while it became a crutch as I went through a very trying time, I gained A LOT of weight. I think partly from drinking, but mainly from stress (I'm an adrenal body type, so stress really gets to me). The main draw back I found was that alcohol gave me a feeling of *everything is great* except that's not how I really felt about it at the time. It might have prolonged my sorting myself out. But on the flipside it was also a relief. I don't know how I'd gotten through that time without it. After that I have been naturally drinking less and less, losing the desire. I lost the weight I gained. Since I started with psychedelics I've only had a drink when offered at a social occasion. Lately I have turned down drinks completely. It doesn't attract me now. I am tripping regularly so am more focused on that. I have also read trip reports of people taking LSD and drinking alcohol at the same time only to find themselves at their ordinary state - not high/ not drunk. Fail, LOL.

@Kingston I sense you are in a very very amazing place... aligning with your heart, having the courage to acknowledge it and keep coming back to it. The Love of God or the Universe is what drew me in too. It can be expressed in an infinite amount of ways, actually in every way, it is ALL LOVE. Even when you don't look for it, pursue it, just being in the moment. Even fighting it, is also Love. Hehe, you can't go wrong with Love. Love always gets you... What really helped "me" understand it has been the past months working with psychedelics. I did about 8 years of hard core Vipassana meditation. Minimum 2 hours every day, dozens of 10-day retreats, following precepts. On a 30-day retreat I went deeper than I ever did up until that point. Some years later I tried a low dose (1,2 grams) magic mushrooms, and it brought me right back to the level of consciousness I had in the 30-day course, and then it just took me deeper. Blew my mind. After working so hard on meditation, to be able to reach that state in 1 hour after drinking a mushroom tea - maaaaan WTF?! The next mushroom trip I realized I'm God and created everything for myself to experience Love. Yeah, that's LOVE. Thank you God and Leo and myself! No rush, take your time, there's nothing but Love. Whatever you choose, you get Love. Smooth sailing friend!

@Double Helix Thank you for sharing your lovely story, much appreciated! You have inspired me to try MDMA sooner than I was thinking to...

@Leo Gura Oh, sweet! I'm feeling that it would be good to have another LSD trip next to get some direction on all this... DMT has been really intense...

@Leo Gura Lol, maybe I will start working with 5-meo instead of NN-DMT Plugging does seem more gentle than vaping. Is plugging more precise when it comes to dosing? Sometimes I get a bit too excited, these conversations help me be more grounded. Also reminding myself that I am already perfect, this is it, nowhere else to go, it is all Love...

@Leo Gura Wow... I can't wrap my head around what you went through to do 5-meo-dmt for 30 days consecutively. Or how Kilindi Lyi did 30 g of mushrooms. Seems like it's a mix of expert level experience and extreme courage.

@Forestluv Hehe, especially if you're a moderator

@Flyboy Holy crap! Thanks for sharing. So you're saying that a break through at 30 mg is easier to handle than a break through at 75 mg, but that it's never the less a break through and a lot easier on your system, so to do it gradually. This is gold, thanks for making the point crystal clear. @Leo Gura YES, holy fuck... I am quite scared thinking about doing it again, will stick to 30 mg for now. Do you ever get used to it? From what you've been saying Leo it sounds like the fear will be there for the whole journey. So far I've been very gradual in my dosages tripping on mushrooms and LSD the past five months. I haven't had any really bad trips. There's been some scares and I had some PTSD for a couple of days after my face melted on LSD and spooked me. But then I had a *everything is Love* break through which more than healed any past tripping trauma. DMT is scary in a different way. It just feels so damn powerful, unpredictable. Maybe I will do some more LSD before continuing with DMT. Will give it some thought.

@Artsu Feel free to do me too, I haven't posted much yet, but perhaps it's enough?

@Flyboy I don't doubt that from what I just experienced. I still find it hard to inhale that much in one go. 60 mg seems like you'd have to take several hits. But yeah, if you did manage to get it, man. I can imagine even a full on 30 mg dose would be crazy. I'm not sure how much I actually got on those big hits, maybe 10-20 mg?? Hard to say. Very very powerful still. EDIT: I think you're quite right, it would be wiser to work with 30 mg for now and focus on perfecting the technique.

WOW! I've been trying a lot to vape NN-DMT through a glass pipe the past weeks and finally got the hang of it! Here's my trip report: Today I tried vaping 30 mg of NN-DMT with a regular glass pipe. Thanks to using a new and better gas lighter I was able to keep the heat more consistent and could therefore inhale a lot more vape than in my past tries, without coughing much at all. I took some hits and I could feel myself coming up gradually with each hit. I then took one hit where I somehow inhaled a lot more vape than before. Suddenly it just hit me like wham! It was like coming up on a serious dose of LSD in 5 seconds instead of two hours. I laid down realizing, “holy shit, that is how to really inhale it”. The wallpaper was like electrified neon signs, flashing wildly. Fractals and colors everywhere. The music was blasting “forgive” over and over. I was both exhilarated that it finally worked and at the same time shocked how powerful it was. I felt like I had been shot out of a cannon. I was still in the room but it felt as if it could all disappear at any time. It was quite frightening. I suddenly had a sense of relief as I remembered how it’s all Love, and I cried at how miraculous and magical it was. My body started to vibrate calmly. As I started coming down I turned the music off and listened to the silence. There was the classic DMT noise low in the background which I’ve heard on mushroom trips and in videos on YT. I was laying looking out the window, realizing how damn powerful DMT is. I looked at the clouds in the sky and thought, this is a window of opportunity for me to blast away. It literally felt as if I was about to light a rocket and fly into interstellar space. There was both fear and excitement. I was contemplating what I might see and who I might meet. I got the sense that somehow I am from “out there”. It is like going home, even though we are always home in our hearts, in the present moment, something about “out there” felt more like home than here on earth. It felt very intriguing to go deeper, with hesitation like can I handle it? So I loaded up the cannon (glass pipe) with 60 mg of NN-DMT. I took a few hits and again got a bigger one - whaam! It came on so fast. I laid down with closed eyes and went to some incredible place looking like an Alex Grey painting. Like being inside of a psychedelic doughnut. Lot of patters, shapes, colors, really difficult to describe. I opened my eyes and the room was flashing all over, colors, fractals, geometrical shapes. There was a great sense of joy which came over me. As I started coming down I played music and eventually started dancing and singing and kept going for some time. Lot of happiness and joy. Lot of energy. I then did some smaller hits. I was looking into the clouds and contemplating about meeting aliens. I realized that to meet aliens you have to have an intention to do so. So I worked out my intention and kept staring into the clouds, almost expecting to see an alien space craft. I took a few more smaller hits and kept looking. Besides some incredible cloud formations and colors - nothing. So I realized how I’d love to have an alien friend, put it on my dream board for now and called it a day.

@peanutspathtotruth Because it is ALL LOVE!

This one gives me a feeling like when on LSD and the stomach is turning inside out.

@Forestluv Yes, I get that sense of letting go. It's like experiencing a strange loop and either let it keep frustrating you or drop the you and just enjoy being. It will be very interesting to look at these while tripping indeed. I am starting to get OEVs and CEVs while just meditating or relaxing, I don't know if this is normal. I've been tripping quite a bit the past months. It doesn't bother me, I just notice a difference. Sometimes when I go to bed I see a blue cloud. I'm considering it being a guardian spirit, it feels benevolent. @SirVladimir

@SirVladimir Oh, we are sailing through eternity, on an endless joyous journey into our heart. It is right here and now brother - in the seas of Love. From heaven to heaven and back again.

Music video in deep dream, very cool.

Really catchy tune, Alice on a light dose of shrooms.

Wow, there are some AMAZING deep dream gifs. Oh the Love! Oh my God!

@cetus That is very reassuring to hear.

Lol, how has life treated us from your view point?
