Used to have daily tension headaches, they're gone. Can see energy sober (only in myself, not in other people)

If that's the case you'll get there a lot faster

@acidgoofy yeah it should be in the health, fitness discussion. Can you move it over please?

Modafinil counts as a psychedelic... right? I've always taken only modalert until recently when I got modvigil instead (hard to successfully complain in these situations lol). So if any of you were wondering which one is the better generic here's my experience: - Dosage: Modalert is stronger. 3/4 of a tab is generally optimal in the morning for me. Equivalent to 1 full modvigil. - Half life: Modalert lasts longer into the night. Thus modvigil is likely healthier as it allows better sleep (idk why the same chemical would have a different half life) - Quality of consciousness: Very little difference. Modalert is marginally better for meditation. - Cost: Modvigil is slightly cheaper. - Overall: Both are legit. I prefer modvigil since my day is ruined if I get under 8 hours of sleep, which happens more often on modalert.

@Jannes Hey didn't log on for a few weeks. 2) I do a medium dose (300ug for me) + an extra 75ug booster around 4 hours in. Goes without saying that I dedicate an entire day. Also take 30-45min break watching TV after maxing out my meditation stamina and meditating in shorter intervals going into the night. I haven't done too high of a dose on lsd but tend to become God at high doses and forget about my problems, which come back a few hours later. 4) Modafinil definitely raises my senses but can definitely go a whole day and get nothing done lol. This one has a lot to do with what you hold as the most important things in life. Personally I think I'm 'too good' to feel shame, guilt, anger and fear and decided to eventually get to such level (without suppressing anything + being virtuous) and believe I'll see my life really start taking off as I approach that point. Thus, every time I feel even an inkling of such emotion, I go home and try to meditate it out of my system.

Probably best not to do that, unless you're absolutely sure how higher dimensional entities operate. Much better to practice a routine on your own terms. If there happens to be an entity that wants to help you then and there, then you'll be focused on receiving exactly what you need for your specific goal.

I don't think you can physically exist as a human without an ego.

Definitely removes mental blocks which decrease intelligence. Personally out of the box thinking got a major boost. Unfortunately no improvement in mental arithmetic though

1) will fix itself if you solve 2. Your brain is hardwired to be good at socializing if not bogged down. 2) very effective but highly dependent on your pain tolerance. I did that for 2+ years straight once every 2 weeks (LSD preferred). Works wonders, I'm a changed man, but was the hardest 2 years of my life, gets especially bad in the beginning and is like running a marathon through a volcano. Feels like the most direct, fastest method but riskiest.. if you've already done 10+ trip you should know what that's all about. At first I just tried to remember all of my bad memories and tell myself that I choose to let go of the attachment for the whole 8 hours. After doing that for enough trips, I intuitively figured out the mechanism behind how my brain releases blocks and can 'see' energetic blocks and remove them just by focusing on them. Feels like it's capability that all humans can develop with psychedelics but that's just speculation. 3) also if do 2. That's part of your shadow. 4) I take modafinil everyday (probably not healthy) and it makes me painfully aware of my shortcomings even on great days. Keeps me motivated

Shadow work is great. It's the least pleasant aspect of spirituality but you can eliminate all your traumas and beliefs that prevent you from feeling good and seeing the world the way is is.

When I read your scenario, it didn't even occur to me that it's because of your looks. Might be, might be something else. I don't have that same insecurity but get rid of mine by bringing up all the associated feelings and letting them pass. That's sitting cross legged and with my eyes closed for 45-60 min.

You could be selfless, ie have a burning ambition to change the world for the betterment of humanity. Of course humanity is more important than personal relationships That's probably the case for non-duality stuff but spirituality also includes going in the opposite direction and connecting to the earth + aligning your primal energies. In other words, by awakening your root chakra, you should develop a connection to the part of God that spent eons perfecting getting laid. That's one way of naturally improving charisma. The vast majority of men don't systematically work on this so it should put you at least in the top 1%

7. Had a bad trip as expected. I think it's only productive after developing a dissolved ego even while sober.

LSD unlike shrooms provides a lot of freedom. Unless you clear your mind and press God/universe for answers you might not get em

That's surprising.. wouldn't this get in the way of processing all the information coming in? given that nn dmt is especially visual

Even if the perfect dictator were to exist, I don't think that would actually work because it's not possible to actually know what the best policies are without seeing into the future. As a result, factions would form around major ideas and insist that they should be in charge. The dictator would then have to brutally suppress them (that's the only way to remain in power), of course with the best of intentions. This would already lead to lesser freedoms than in America like press freedom and free speech. In contrast, a democracy can remain stable because there's always the promise that you can boot the current leader out if the majority wants someone else. In a fair election, factions that lost the election wouldn't have the legitimacy to stage an uprising.

Do you think this is because of blockages; so once you release them all then it would be safe to get a kundalini awakening?

I'm thinking of trying these for the first time but use modafinil almost everyday. Is it dangerous to mix them? and if so how much time between my last modafinil dose can I use the 5 meo's? If anyone has experience mixing them, I'll be interested in knowing how it affected the trip.

You sure? There's so much to learn from TV about psychology, human interaction and art. TV resonates with people for a reason and has a lot to do with the collective subconscious and archetypes. The problem is watching TV with a numb mind

I'm all for it. There could be a system where people could upvote sources so they know which ones are legit. Would be especially useful for things like modafinil and research chems.. also for travelling to Canada to take 5meo (where it's legal), people should know beforehand that their source is trustworthy. Should ultimately be up to Leo's lawyer if he wants to make that a part of the forum

I think it's much less about how smart you are and more about your thought process. Embracing stage yellow as much as possible would be useful because it'll let you develop models in areas like: - emotions - human psychology (self and other) - cause and effect - sociology - how society works Every time you make a 'stupid' decision - you could go back and update your model. So for example if your emotions get the better of you, then you could better realize the deceptiveness of emotion and be better able to detect it next time. Hope this helps

Yeah people need a theoretical understanding of what to expect ie a roadmap, before delving deep into it. Otherwise they'll fall into common ego traps

I think while turquoise understands concepts like oneness and nothingness, they basically still function as individual humans on earth experiencing what earth is all about. I could see a coral interact with higher dimensions, entities, possibly aliens and consciously set events into motion based on what the universe/souls/God want to get out of physical existence. So kind of like an agent or a moderator. Likely have also developed siddhis. Quite badass in my opinion. In either case, they'd probably masquerade as an orange or green not to arouse too much suspicion. Probably unless you're high turquoise you wouldn't detect them.

Seconded, this work directly processes parts of your subconscious and makes lasting changes. Personally, I go in with the intention of gently reasserting my will over my psyche, since every part of your subconscious was created by yourself in the past, and that your intent can be applied to make whatever change that you see fit. So it works by diving into body sensations, bringing up memories along the way if possible, and through an uncomfortable process understanding your shadow side yet disagreeing - i.e. 'My emotions tell me that this is the case but that is simply false because logically I know that...' and hold that frame until you feel relief. Just be aware that by following any of these approaches, you can stumble upon very strong emotions that you've been suppressing for years. They are the key to making your life exponentially better but require a high level of mental fortitude to safety work out.

Yeah, it's the whole political structure that's the problem here. Replacing the old system with a new one can't happen smoothly overnight. Unfortunately the West doesn't current have the foresight to facilitate this in good faith even if the Russian leadership wanted to transform the country (which they don't)
