@Leo Gura Can't articulate his position? For the sake of brevity the was really no necessity to recap his position. I notice you like to throw around the term "gas-lighting" but would you acknowledge that I've been gaslit with your response here? His position is that trans youth being allowed to transition means that cis children will harm themselves due to newfound feasibility in changing ones gender. Not really that complicated. If I wanted to gaslight you, I would respond to this by saying "the fact that you can't actually give examples where the harm would occur" says more about you than about this matter, but I can see you simply opted not to for the sake of brevity. If you want this position to be respected you should provide an example where this would actually hurt cis kids, but I imagine you'd be pretty hard-pressed to do so. I'm saying JP is a transphobe because he engages in transphobic rhetoric, as you have acknowledged by saying his Elliot Page drama took things too far. It's very strange that you aren't willing to acknowledge how this unambiguously puts him in the transphobic category.

My dude's breaking out the literal dictionary. *rolls eyes* This does not take into account the way the word grifter has been used over the past 3 to 4 years. Definitions change due to the way people use the words, for instance, the word "literally" for years was used as a means of emphasis without meaning something is "literally" true before the dictionary updated it. My definition is derived from the far more valid source of being tuned in to modern discourse, whereas your definition is a haphazard conformity to an outdated dictionary. Congrats. The lack of self awareness here deserves some kind of trophy, and I may have defiled my own integrity by affording you my attention any further, but I'll take the hit. Do you really not see the hypocrisy in saying I can't deem your temperament unnecessary after you said the following: Your response is actually the more egregious offender in terms of who is demanding someone refine their free-speech, whereas mine simply said your tone was unnecessary and never states outright that you can't say what you've said. Yikes.

They said he was a "grifter" which does not necessarily mean he doesn't believe what he says, more-so that his main motivation towards spouting his rhetoric is based on material incentives and that his perspective is heavily influenced by whatever fares best for his branding. This is pretty dumb. The emotional hounding you're subjecting this person to is unnecessary because their statement calling him a grifter is more of a speculative assessment based on his behavior rather than a falsifiable claim that warrants strict supporting evidence. Not to say that casting speculative aspersions never needs evidence, I'm saying the temperament of the their remark does not warrant your demands for some nebulous onrush of 'proof' which likely wouldn't even be accepted if it were provided. The evidence is blatantly apparent to anyone who's willing to contend with it. The dude harasses trans people on twitter and complains that he got his account suspended. Do you really think any person who isn't compelled by a necessity to uphold their brand could possibly believe that they are being victimized by not being allowed to harass trans people. Obvious grifter behavior. I tend to enjoy reading your perspectives here, but this was just embarrassing to read.

When people say "wokeism", an embarrassingly large percentage of the time they are simply talking about black people, women, gays, or trans people being featured in movies or TV shows, or twitter censoring people saying the N word or harassing trans people. The thread doesn't warrant a serious response because without further context it's too likely this person merely takes issue with these innocuous social trends.

Leo has shit on JP a lot, at least here on the forum I've noticed. But yeah stuff like this: is pretty sus. Why frame it as some intellectually holistic approach rather than the obvious transphobia that it clearly is? Do you actually think cis kids are being harmed because trans kids are being afforded greater means to pursue their true identity? I'm gonna need you to show your math on that one.

@Breakingthewall Do you use a trip sitter for your trips? What kind of stuff does your body do during the trip?

By this logic you would have no merit asking the difference between 5-MeO-DMT and MALT. I'm seeking information for my safety and there are obviously answers that could satisfy this inquiry.

Honestly, because I plan on taking it in an air-bnb so as not to disturb the people I live with. I don't really want to have to go back on multiple days or something. So I'm thinking I should just go for the breakthrough on the first dose Would it be too mentally taxing to take the first 10mg dose, and then an hour later take the next dose at 15mg, then an hour later take 20mg? The way people talk about it, it seems like I wouldn't wanna trip multiple times in one day.

@OBEler I'm looking to have a breakthrough dose though. Do people usually get up and do stuff while on breakthrough doses?

I should mention that this OBE was not from a sleep paralysis, it just happened randomly, but definitely has to do with my sleep issues, as it was a couple months ago, right in the middle of this period I've been having sleep paralysis. LSD is often quite pleasant, I'm just accustom to it and don't really see myself deriving much benefits from it anymore. Would you recommend heavy metal detox even though my sleep issue is not narcolepsy? This is what I was hoping. Only problem is my friend who I would have asked to trip sit me moved back to California, and nobody else in my life is comfortable with this usage of psychedelics. I'm thinking of getting an air-bnb here in Vegas to try it solo, but I'm worried I might have a weird trip and disrupt the property I'm staying in. Is this a genuine concern or is it extremely unlikely I could injure myself or damage the property while on 5-MeO-DMT? Somehow I'm skeptical I will have this much lucidity as to make that conscious decision while high on 5-MeO.

@Brivido I don't consider myself psychologically unstable, I see it more like I am mentally stable but I've been inundated with a hardship that the universe wants me to experience that just happens to be mind-related. The entities I hallucinate are serving as a sort of catalyst to trigger my desire to wake up on 5-MeO-DMT. The alternative would be to continue living with this fear in the back of my head that entities are malevolently controlling my life. I've tripped on LSD probably about 15 times and I don't imagine mushrooms would be much different. I do not hallucinate entities when I take LSD, so it doesn't seem likely I could practice loving such entities. I'll check this out.

The truth is, although this was my most "provocative, eerie" SP hallucination yet, I wasn't nearly as afraid as I was 5 months ago. Everything I'm saying now is just a sort of precaution, because obviously it does present somewhat of a threat, so I will do my best to combat it, so to be honest, it wasn't terrifying like it would have been a few months ago, but I just want people to treat this as if I am terrified. I honestly don't know how I was so calm. It was definitely alarming but 5 months ago when this started happening I could hardly function. Thank you. This is comforting. Yeah at one point I experienced an entity that sounded like a kid and it's demeanor was equally juvenile. It said "I hope you have nightmares" in this completely unintimidating child's voice and I'm just like, "Wait a minute... what if these entities are actually huge pussies, and just want my attention. Maybe I should feel bad for them." Prior to that I was like, terrified that the entities were way more advanced than me and managed to hack their way into my consciousness. But I think their ability to reach me while in sleep paralysis is just one of their natural abilities. It can still be pretty unnerving. Either way, this was what I considered to be a "calling" to take 5-MeO-DMT. Some of the recent hallucinations I had were like... I'm not sure how to describe it, but it was like sleep paralysis hallucination combined with a dream. It definitely wasn't a dream, because the tactile (sense of touch) hallucination felt exactly like SP hallucinating, and just the general awareness was that of a SP episode, but it had other facets like a dream, such as being in an environment that wasn't my room, whereas in SP it's always in my room. The recent ones have been alarming because these entities have learned things about me, such as my friend who they must be impersonating and laughing at me disguised as a friend. So that's pretty alarming. I had a SP hallucination tell me that this friend was going to make an appearance soon, then the next day the entity disguised itself as my friend and I'm just like damn, well, they are definitely planning something with effort to mess with me. Part of me wanted to believe it was actually the friend, but I also had one impersonate my dad, and I know my dad would never impose himself into my SP hallucinations so yeah it must be fake. Crazy how they can do that, and crazier that they would even want to. Yeah I've read all about this. Unfortunately I have not been able to accomplish this. I try surrendering and imagining a new plane of reality, but it hasn't manifested any results. One time I had an out of body experience from sleep, my consciousness was floating above my body, but I freaked out and immediately my consciousness was pulled back into the body. I don't think I will freak out next time. Sounds about right, but I cannot move my body when this happens normally, but in the most recent one, it was a dream combined with SP hallucination, I could sense the entities were real and it was quite distinct from a dream, but this was the first one which I was able to move around. I don't know why, but I started massaging one of the hell-hounds, I think I was trying to get on its good side or something. But yeah, I need to have an awakening. If I'm convinced, I will be doing the 5-MeO-DMT in an air-bnb and it will be my first time. Does anyone know the perfect dose to guarantee a breakthrough without being too intense for a first-time?

He says, having returned from an exhausting day of work only to realize his clan robes had been further damaged by his local dry cleaners. He's having a rough day, or life perhaps, but it's hard to imagine what dreadful misfortune could have obscured his cognition such that posting this inane drivel seemed like a good idea. The irony of ascribing a state of denial to those who hold this position while neglecting to provide any evidence for your claim demonstrates a lack of self-awareness that might just warrant some sort of trophy or prestigious accolade. Accomplishing such stunning ineptitude has surely taken you sincere dedication.

I don't really have any answer that surpasses what I imagine you could come up with. I'd leave it soaking in soap water for a while if you're that concerned over this. I personally don't even wash these tools.

I'm confused why you would need to clean anything. When I boof drugs, I insufflate them with an oral syringe, which has no contact with any other supplies used such as scale or measuring spoons. Obviously syringes used for plugging should not be re-used.

Was this a positive or negative experience? What substance was used to evoke this state of mind? Is your fearlessness in exploring these "dangerous" facets of consciousness something facilitated by having experienced God so thoroughly you are confident every possible state of consciousness is perfect?

@thepixelmonk Yeah, it's odd that anyone who already lends merit to mysticism wouldn't be at least partially open-minded to the claims made here. I was previously a hardcore secular materialist, so having had experiences that outright prove that paradigm false, it's not a huge stretch to give credence to new ideas that might seem fantastical.

@Scholar The irony of a knuckle-dragging transphobe (as evident from this asinine thread of yours) calling anyone delusional.

Would you credit your long meditation retreats for facilitating the baseline consciousness needed to be receptive to this phenomenon while on psychedelics? Is it possible that your true self is the metaphysical entity and Leo is just its version of a physical dream? As for the new ROA, would you say it's more or less dangerous than the half-joking but half-serious prospect of 5MeO + asphyxiation + paint thinners? Down to try either way.

@Leo Gura Considering that I'll be trying it for the first time it makes sense to approach it cautiously. People describe 5-meo-MALT as way more gentle/comfortable. I generally experience nausea with psychedelics, so I'm thinking it's best to go for MALT over DMT here. You're saying it's incorrect to regard the two as equally suitable for awakening while regarding 5-meo-DMT as the harsher one? Like I shouldn't even factor in other people's testimonials when picking between the two? That seems to be what you're saying.

@RMQualtrough If that description was meant to make me more favorable to vaping over plugging you've only achieved the opposite affect, sir. An opportunity to stick a foreign object in the hind end should be relished in any case — irrespective of the high.

@Leo Gura Haha what do you mean? I'd rather be gently guided in a warm blanket of loving source energy into realizing divinity and godhood rather than abrasively ripped from my consciousness and recklessly thrown into a DMT void. This is just the impression I get from the two substances when reading people talk about them on this forum? Do I have something incorrect?

@Brivido Thank you, your posts are always so helpful. @Fluran Damn, thanks. Bookmarking that for sure.

Honestly, I don't think inputting a prompt and sifting through generated images makes one an artist anymore than google-searching two rabbits fucking makes you a biologist. Just my hot take.

Where did you learn that non-duality means infinite? Non-duality mean non-duality, as in, no distinction or innate boundary between any 2 separate objects. Infinity and non-duality are 2 facets of ultimate reality but I would hardly describe them as the same thing. Yes, I'm aware of the irony in drawing a distinction between the two facets while discussing the meaning on non-duality. Let's not inundate ourselves with language games, I can sense where this is going.
