The entheogenic churches in the US present an interesting legal position. I'm curious to know if users from the US have more info on that as well.

I walk down the streets and observe closely different individuals. They are not original or genuine. It's like seeing walking archetypes, I can make psychic archaeology on them. Their clothes, their haircut, their economical position or job, their religion, their way of talking or being. It just fits and conformed to certain roles and societal expectations. The world is just an enormous stage! It's my understanding that one of the greatest joys of personal development is discovering, being and evolving your true human self. Note: I do conform and I'm expected to play some archetypes, we all do.

Actually both, very intelligent remark I was also contemplating that while walking down the street My conclusions were that mind can go as granular or as encompassing as it wants. Meaning that mind can find the uniqueness of every person, moment or fragment of reality OR mind can go in higher encompassing structures and categories. Mind can do both, it's a property. The ideal is to have a multilense mind, using one or the other to see and even using both at the same time.

I have the intuition it may make the Salvia experience more comfortable. I plan to try it one day. So any advice is welcomed

Give him a hug Do things that make him happy If you had one week left how would you make the most out of it? Nobody understands what facing death is. Everyone thinks they are ready till it happens. Even experience psychonauts after many ego deaths, when the final time comes, we all shit our pants and that is human and lovely as well, we gotta embrace that moment of being humbled by life and hugging the reality of things.

Take haritaki habitually every night before falling asleep. The powder tastes gross, so better take the pill form. If you can't find it use triphala. For pranayama, I like wim Hoff method and then alternate nostril breathing. First you energyze then you balance.

@Carl-Richard I agree there's something that doesn't sit right about the disclaimer. I can't pinpoint it nor have the time to contemplate it analytically, but I feel something is a bit off imo.

In your first interviews content was brilliant but form was uncalibrated. Really looking forward to seeing you talk in an interview now, let's see if you can navigate them towards a genuine insight or moment of clarity. I also feel you should talk on the interview structure with them, as you said, many of this topics are too elusive to be presented casually, maybe some type of unfolding structure should be in place like. Truth-seeking, epistemological, metaphysics, Awakening,... Then flowi without that overall structure

Currently trying to convince my chemist friend But maybe I can't outsource the task and I'll have to do it myself Does it dissolve in propenglycol? Or you do it via mesh?

Interesting, I'll do it. Finding pure Salvinorin A in Europe is a bit difficult, but I've been on the process of finding it for quite some time. Hopefully soon will happen.

For me the scariest For me the problem comes from the combination of body uneasiness and lack of memory, this is just in medium doses. Imagine feeling so weird and forget you even took a psychedelic or that you're in your house, spooky stuff. In high doses, you may lose total body control and have the weirdest delirant trips. Overall, the way it fucks with your senses is otherworldly, not even DMT does this. In microdose and low dose it's quite a nice introspective experience. I feel like the smoking route is too strong for Salvia, would like to find a suitable ingestion methodology, which is not chewing a kg of salvia

Salvia is already dissaciative enough. Doing MDMA before Salvia could be interesting, but is something you will only do a few times. It's not a sustainable combination. I also have the intuition that the MDMA chemistry would really distort the Salvia experience, but nevertheless it's an interesting thing to explore. In the following months I'll try this combination and let us you all know how it went. I've been researching and there are no trip reports written on the subject. I doubt to be first one to try it out but surely pioneering something interesting. Some user did combine DMT and Salvia, reporting that evoked profound sacredness, but no further explanation is given. The reason I'll try 5-MeO-DMT & Salvia is because I have the intution that the background spookiness triggered by Salvia, may be diluted by a low dose of 5-MeO-DMT. Salvia is very loving and wise once you surrender to it, but it's always uncomfortable and this is so from a biochemical standpoint. I'm not trying to run away from 'bad feelings' but certainly to find ways to refine the experience and maybe discover something novel.

@UnbornTao Remember that Ramana was a solipsist

Thanks to holidays, I have time to stretch every morning and it makes all the difference. The ability to have a flexible body relaxes the mind and nervous system, you feel more at ease the rest of the day and everything flows. It's amazing how such a simple thing can impact your experience of life so much. A good 30min morning stretching is more than enough. I had forgotten how good it is. Returning to the good basics I guess.

Yes, I do feel it, but everyone is different. Maybe for you stretching may tense and contract your mind or don't affect it at all. If you meditate a lot, you will start getting a lot of sensibility of the states and structure your mind is in. You can even see how food affects your mind if you just eat and then meditate. Actually everything alters your state of mind. It's like you come to a carpenter shop and say to the craftsman, you are telling me for real there are different types of woods? I only see regular joe wood. There's an art of making subtle distinctions with deep observation. Try next time you do your stretching routine to meditate before and after and compare the state of your mind. Btw, given that you stretch twice a week could you give me any advice or routine? I'm just starting and would very much appreciate it as I'm not proficient in the topic

@Michal__ You gotta keep pushing. Don't quit now. Finish strong

What is Awake?

@UnbornTao If I understood correctly, your point is on the difference between intellectual understanding and experience or realisation. That gap is what you're trying to point. My comment was building on the intellectual consequences of both stances.

@UnbornTao I like a quote by Sri Anandamayi Ma that goes: "One thing is to have no doubts and another to realize a truth beyond all doubts" Religion lives in the former, mysticism in the latter.

@UnbornTao Is that message directed to me? If so, I don't care about looking intelligent because that attitude actually is a lower form of intelligence and an obstacle towards truth. I genuinely asked about a connection I didn't understand. I just couldn't see how identity and omnipotence could be linked, if you really contemplate, it's quite a claim. I wonder how many people did get it or really wanted to know. Leo explained it and I had the insight plus a mini-Awakening. That's why what I wrote may sound a bit different than my usual style, due to the state shift as I was writing. There's no big deal anyways.

Now I get it, yes I see. Another way to frame it is that true identity, beyond all layers, is existence itself and it's this existence which subdivides and limits itself, making existence inherently free, unlimited; connecting therefore Identity and Omnipotence. Wow, great connection, never saw it from this angle. Great insight Moreover, if my identity is unlimited by nature that takes all effort and chasing out of the equation, given the right consciousness one rests in pure Omnipotent nature, it's not something to acquire but something that is.

Loved your last quote, I connected all the dots but had a brain fart when you said Omnipotence is Identity. I can't see the connection there, would you mind explaining it? In your use of language, is Identity different than "I" ? Thanks

Note: Due to the complexity of the topic and being English not my main language, AI was used to better articulate my own insights. For years I tried to picture what is the next evolution beyond late-stage capitalism: one that is grounded and doesn't fully rely on the progressive evolution of collective values. My sticking point was structural: even if society’s values shift towards stage green of spiral dynamics (e.g. care, inclusion, sustainability), a profit-maximizing firm would still tend to get the upper hand because it can extract surplus (profits) for owners, raise capital aggressively, and scale faster. In a market engineered around maximization, “being nicer” is not a winning strategy; it’s a competitive disadvantage, unless the rules of the game change. After years of no success, some days ago I had my first important insight: there is no need for a challenging systemic-market disruption. It requires the dominant enterprise structure to evolve. The most plausible evolution of a post-capitalist economy is not the abolition of firms, not communism, not central planning, and not a stage green utopian shift in consumer ethics. It’s the rise of non-distributing enterprises: organizations that can compete in markets and generate surpluses, but cannot legally distribute those surpluses to private owners. Any excess is reinvested into developing their mission, strategic vision and value delivery. This single constraint of 'no private extraction' changes everything and shifts money-centric capitalism to product-value-centric capitalism. It flips the organizing principle of the firm from “maximize profit for owners” to “maximize value delivered to stakeholders while remaining financially self-sustaining.” A non-distributing firm (NDE) can still sell products, pay strong salaries, attract world-class talent, run cutting-edge Research & Development, and become operationally excellent. The difference is what happens to the surplus: instead of leaking upward as dividends and buybacks, it becomes fuel for a compounding reinvestment: higher wages, better tools, better service, lower prices, more R&D, deeper trust, longer horizons. This would give a competitive edge to NDEs over purely profit orange-based companies. So Cocacola would not be a good stock investment but a movement towards making the best beverages. This changes the game because many publicly traded firms are structurally compelled to prioritize shareholder returns, even when doing so conflicts with long-term stakeholder value. In an NDE model, the same cash flows can be redirected into the core activity (e.g. product quality, reliability, innovation, and societal benefit) without requiring a global green value transformation from the collective, as well as bad actors. The main drawback of NDEs is initial capital formation (bootstrapping): as they scale less through equity upside and more through retained earnings, debt, revenue-based financing, procurement, and mission-aligned capital. If those pathways mature, a post-capitalist economy can emerge organically: markets remain, competition remains; but extraction becomes structurally harder, and compounding reinvestment becomes the default. The two greatest risks of non-distributing enterprises are corruption through conversion and decay through complacency. As organizations accumulate value, internal and external pressures push relentlessly towards making that value privately extractable; success itself becomes the danger (e.g. OpenAI). At the same time, removing profit incentives and takeover threats risks dulling ambition, especially at the executive level, replacing excellence with comfort. If unaddressed, these forces ensure that either the most successful organizations betray the model, or the most faithful ones underperform. For post-capitalism to scale, non-distribution must find cases of great success, and performance pressure must be consciously regenerated through culture, reputation, purpose, real accountability, excellence and love for the product rather than profit alone. Post-capitalism, then, is not a rejection of markets, ambition, or competition, but a refinement of what they are optimized for. The shift towards non-distributing enterprises does not depend on a rejection of money, but on whether these organizations can remain attractive places to build, create, and excel while keeping surplus aligned with their purpose. In that sense, post-capitalism would not arrive as a rupture, but as a quiet selection process: where the firms that endure are those designed to compound value for society rather than convert it into private exit. This is my prediction for the next macroscale stage of the global economy, and the structural foundation upon which stage green can realistically take root and endure over the coming centuries.

Lmao, that's exactly what I thought before posting. Crazy 5D chess being played here The other argument is that I don't have the time and Leo has already done an splendid job. It's mindboggling how accurate he is. I've verified everything in those videos and in what we differ he clarified and refined in later videos. Our differences are mostly in style rather than in Truth and Awakening. Although Leo is decades of work ahead of me, I'm just starting. As a funny anecdote, I thought Leo never talked publicly about Perfection Awakening (One facet I've gone very deep in) just to rewatch his video '65 core principles' to find it was one of them.
