  1. @Nemra As the flower blossoms, it sheds sublime fragrance 🌸
  2. Big no no for me, unless it's 5meos very short lasting. Just thinking on an LSD trip sleep deprived gives me a bad body feeling. Psychedelics are taxing on the body and mind, so you should be as abundant of everything as you can. All the reserves should be full. If you have the tank empty, you don't go for a long road trip.
  3. Agree, still contemplating heavily, there's so much nuance to clarify
  4. Surely we can, we are the next generation brother
  5. The beauty of understanding oneself and loving ourselves, can only come by a non-conformist exploration and experimentation of our living psyche.
  6. The power of conformity is such that I am contemplating conformity initially because of conformity. The thought of conformity didn't appear in my mind autonomously. The whole discussion really boils down to what public thought-streams I am swimming in. Lost in the waters, I forget to honour myself and the inherent non-transferable power of thinking independently for myself. The gravitational pull of humanity, science, religion, actualized.org is such that I'm locked to think in certain ways and not others. Imagine an infinite 3D space of Mind where humanity is just a tiny interconnected cluster: how do I break free from conforming to this cluster... and start the expansive exploration of my Infinite Awake Mind! This is the real pursuit and juice of philosophy.
  7. It's hard to find it in Europe, that I'm aware of, only Canada is shipping and it can get complicated. Some weeks ago I did my last Malt trip, as my 500mg badge ended.
  8. @LambdaDelta Happy you finally could try it Very good trip report. I really liked your points on Infinite Mind, I'm working on that angle as well. It's so fascinating
  9. Yes, and you?
  10. Thanks, good to know. I felt like this info helped a future self of mine when that happened in the trip.
  11. Meditation is the dance between concentration and relaxation; effort and release; contraction and expansion. For concentrating I do hardcore Vipassana and then I relax with just sitting. It's always better to stay with the effort side and then enter more into the effortless presence of mind. The real trick I've discovered for meditation is reducing to zero the micro-distractions. A cup of water with one hole, loses water, only when it's perfectly sealed that magick happens, in the same way for meditation to truly work at the highest level it has to be an unbroken chain of pure presence
  12. This one is good
  13. The best thing that happened in my life
  14. Going veggie does something very positive to your mind and body, it's a cleansing. So in my life I've been vegetarian for 2 years and not any more. I plan in the future to be again vegetarian for a period. It was easier to meditate and contemplate while being vegetarian, but harder to do lots of sport and be grounded, with intense work in your human life.
  15. @Leo Gura Nice! Questions that come to mind: when is rationality a right epistemic tool? When does it go too far? What are the limits and scope of reason? Why and how is reason co-opted by the ego to justify its irrational biases? Why is rationality so idolized? what the hell is even reason and rationality? Is reality rational, or is reason just an epistemologically useful endeavour but limited? It would be great if you briefly talked about atheism as well in the series. Maybe it merits having his own independent episode, but not having an episode on atheism is such a gap in Actualized.org right now, you should hammer more on atheism. Also in your trilogies you tend to have a very slow start and the first episode tends to be too foundational for my taste, do the founding work it's important but gift pearls as well and get over it, otherwise it becomes a different flavour of similar past material (good for new users but repetitive for the serious philosophers that contemplate your work).
  16. It's better to eat it for spiritual purposes than to smoke it. Regardless, for most people it's an inferior substance than 5meos, which is what you should aim for.
  17. This video is so fucking good. It's giving me value for months and years of contemplation and work, this episode is gold. Thanks for giving a frame of reference, around 37 years old, for achieving Autonomy of Mind. It puts things into perspective for serious fellow travellers of life. I see you better Leo. I like it when you wear a costume because the discussions are often so serious and thoughtful that seeing you dressing funny makes me feel more relaxed and lighthearted. Halloween and Christmas specials are always very near to my heart.
  18. Great leadership entails being non-conformist
  19. Wait, y'all be using a new one each time???
  20. @Twentyfirst If anything, your comments prove the video's point
  21. Omg the cane moment killed me😂
