@Carl-Richard Stage is identified through lyrics. Green music: Heal the world Man in the mirror The lost children We are the world People of the world I just can't stop loving you Earth song ... continue the list.

I love how Sadhguru is pointing out Ralph's bullshit again and again in such a playful beautiful manner...

I'd disagree with that. As a musician I feel an inner source within myself where the music is coming from. This source is beyond my own limitations and can create beauty and intelligence that is beyond my own development. I can create and sing beautiful songs about love and peace that deeply move people without being a believer or experience of love and peace. However, the music you make of course is likely to correspond to your own spiral development, but it doesn't have to be that way.

@machinegun Listen to Michael Jackson's green songs.. Heal the world Man in the mirror The lost children We are the world People of the world I just can't stop loving you Earth song ... continue the list. I think music might not be the right indicator of your spiral development. Cuz when it comes to music the only thing that indicates its place on the spiral is the lyrics. However, for some people the sound / vibe of the music matters as much if not more than the Lyrics. This is simply individual preference. However the songs I listed above are stage green in lyrics and are really beautiful. Let me know if you like them:)

@BadHippie you should study spiral dynamics and watch Leos episodes on it. We're not using the same vocabulary here. The stages correspond to a subset of values. Until stage yellow basically all stages are ideological to some degree, stage green as well. Believing in saving the whales and saving the planet out of ideological reasons is not stage blue. It's a low version of stage green. AFD is completely dogmatic and disconnected from reality. All they care about is winning the power game, they are more like red/blue. "Die Gruenen" is more like green/orange than green/blue. "Linke" : Green/low Yellow (slight yellow because their ideas and views on society make most sense from a holistic perspective, although many people there are ideological of course) "Die PARTEI" : green/yellow not green/orange.

@Bojan Brother, you wrote a long text but I didn't really understand what happened. Perhaps we can help you to solve your issue or make sense of your situation but please explain exactly what happened to you. Did you buy something from an online store for 1000? Now the money is not in your bank account anymore? And it didn't go to the shop either? What online shop did you buy from? What bank do you use? It doesn't make sense to me that a bank would steel your 1000 bucks, why would it? Banks profit from returning customers who trust them to hold their money which the bank can use to grow. Also banks can't just steal money, they obey the law as citizens do. Where do you live?

@Hatfort XDD THIS WAS MY FACE... when I read that post

@Leo Gura You stated in your blogpost the following: "You should know that both the US and Russian intelligence agencies run secret paranormal programs to use remote viewing and other psychic phenomena to do spying and intelligence gathering work." Do you have any prove for that claim? Is it something you assume or something you know for sure? Thanks for clarification.

@The0Self ^^^^^ (learn how to properly use it)

@Rilles yes

@Leo Gura I heard you suggested Kola-Nut powder when taking 5-Meo. Would you also recommend it for other psychedelics as a general tool to start trips with a positive mood? How much powder do you take before a session? Do other people here have experience with Kola-Nut or other similar means for improving the trips?

No, nothing. Sometimes I take modafinil (of course I wouldn't do that the day I'm tripping) would that interfere with my trip?

They are dried no worriesxD Thanks for your advises / suggestions

Thx for the advice I am confident going without a sitter. What do the other people here think? Sitter nessecary/helpful?

@Thought Art Well what would you do except taking more?xD Should I stay with a dose on which I literally felt NOTHING and my perception was in NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST WAY distorted?

@Girzo 100% sure, I'll private message you with the link.

Thanks for your advice Leo. I'll then go with the 1 tab LSD (100ug) next time. Also thx for pointing out my recklessness. I'll try to pace myself.

Thanks for your advice. I guess my mushrooms are shit or Idk.

Not planning to do that. But I guess I could take 5g of the mushrooms I got.. Yeah... I guess next time I'll go with LSD. Would you have any objections against LSD for a newbie? @Leo Gura

2 hours, I guess this first "trip" was a flopxD Could my mushrooms be bad quality? Or could it be that I just need more. I mean, I literally feel NOTHING. I am pretty confident that that wouldn't change, even if I took 5g...

1h 40 min, still feel nothing

@flyingwhalee @JuliusCaesar Thanks again for both of your great advices. I decided to go with mushrooms for the first trip and now I'm like 1 hour 15 minutes in. Took 1,2g. My problem now is, literally nothing in my perception changed. I feel completely normal, can walk, talk, think, play chess, do whatever I want to do like I always can. Is there a problem with my mushrooms? Was the dosage not high enough? Should I wait longer? Thanks for advices. Greetings

Hey @flyingwhalee Thank you so much for such a helpful and detailed response. Your tips make a lot of sense and to me sound like very good advice, thanks so much for that:) I think I'll take these as a compass. Still wondering though weather I should take Shrooms or LSD for my first trip

The mushroom is called "psilocybe cubensis", do you know it? what dosage would you recommend for complete newbie?
