What would certainly help long term is science realising the true metaphysics of reality. The materialist philosophy is not only wrong but has silent victims, one of them is people with mental disorders. As long as the status quo is materialist these people will continue to be misunderstood and solutions will be superficial and based on being functional again, surviving and delivering value again to society.

⚠️ Warning, only read if you are mentally stable ⚠️ I've done a psychedelic retreat, 8 trips back to back on a variety of substances (10+) in mid-heavy doses for two weeks. I was starting to get more conscious and infinite with each trip, reaching new levels of Awakening every time, it's shocking how deep you can go with psychedelic retreats, it seems you max out, only to breakthrough in the next session, I was blasting through every limit till this happened... So what I'm sharing is what I would have loved to know before hand. Most of the times the limit to your awakening is that you just can't get really there, you're not conscious enough, but as you keep on pushing you encounter harder and harder limts to break, what you will discover if you go hard enough, deep enough, long enough is a seemingly unsurpassable wall of FEAR. You'll be so fucking conscious that you may realize on the other side are the best realizations you could dream of, your whole life search, but that wall won't move an inch and will makes you recoil consumed by an incomprehensible fear. With some time for integration and contemplation, fear is designed to protect your 'self' hence imagine the fear you have of not burning your hand while cooking, multiplying it by a trillion for the destruction of all that you are and all that is, moreover fear makes you act in a flash and not to become contemplative, being one of the hardest hindrances to surpass in Awakening. I was haunted in particular by these 3 fears: 1. Death / Universal anhilation: I would die and everything would die with me, if I dared to take a step further and Awaken to the ultimate Reality of what I am, what God is and the ultimate Infinite singularity: my human self would totally die, I would never come back, the human life, all my dreams and aspirations, my family and friends, this universe, everything would vanish forever, like sand blown by the wind. It's not even that "other people" would find my dead body and cry over that, no no, it's even more radical than that, this whole dream, this whole fucking movie, would come to an end, I would resolve all of existence and become God in my Infinite Reality forever beyond any limitation. If any other particular dream would unfold, at all, was dubious, as I standed in the midst of an infinite consciousness singularity sucking me and all of Reality into oblivion. 2. Too much / Infinity A fear of too muchness, of overstimulation overflowing, of fuck it you've really gone tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo far this time. You've fucked it up, you cannot take it, it's impossible to fucking take, every part of your psyche cannot hold it, all safety limits in all dimensions are beeping like a nuclear bomb is going to explode. You've gone through these fears before, but never like this, never like this. After inspecting you realise that 'too much' is just a pseudo word for Infinity, what you truly fear is Infinity. 3. Insanity (totally losing your shit) Insanity, levels of insanity imagineable, levels of distortion, despersonalization, uncontrollable delirium, totally imagineable, no framework can hold your mind, you've lost memory, history, self, context, you only get context from two past frames behind you which dissolve into nothingness and no ground on the next frame but a chaotic flux of unrestricted consciousness, so fucking mad that you can't even call yourself mad, all personalities, all psyches, the whole of reality, an assilum, a delirant carnaval playing in your infinite mind tirelessly and absolutely awake. These fears are very strong and existential, I couldn't breakthrough them with more psychedelics but recoiled in fear again and again, the wall is still there and it needs time and understanding to integrate it with of course surrender and Love. These fears are here and will haunt you before your greatest Awakenings, beware!

@OBEler My bet is that 1 it's a substance that works for him in a unique way, otherwise I don't see why holding it back; unless 2 it's for the retreat and wants to avoid legal overview, although I'd be skeptical of how novel could such substance be. It would be great to know the substance behind the teaser, given that one of the biggest value Leo provides is in the psychedelic field.

Low quality thread, there's no book to read.

These videos have been instrumental in my integration journey: Very good if you want to get deeper into this topic in preparation for a retreat.

It will happen, I just need much more time to slowly and steadily dissolve these three fears. In a way it felt like betraying my whole life path, but sometimes you just gotta acknowledge some Awakenings are beyond all your already trespassed comfort zones and you crawl into fetal position wanting some comfort. An important shift between the trips and the integration was: I can't surpass these fears to -> I need time to dissolve these fears, I'll eventually do it.

I'm reporting what happens when you test your limits again and again. These three fear limits are the ones that put the break to my unbroken chain of Awakenings in the retreat. I remember vividly being at the gate of fully realising my God-Self but couldn't take the step, the fear was unbreakable, I couldn't take the leap of faith.

Oh yes, I damned psychedelics forever

The greatest shift in life happens when you shift living from fear and you start living in love

@Sincerity death is very profound, I just keep discovering deeper and deeper layers to it. You can die every more totally.

@emil1234 I wish you the best. Kundalini Awakenings really change your baseline, they are a challenging but great gift.

Gorgeous quote #512

Imo, 5meos work best with light and DMT with darkness. The rest depending on the trip, on the come up and depending on the dosage laying down is important, to be grounded and relaxed. Music can be cool but there's also an insane beauty to silence. A proper trip must have good preliminarilies, do your habitual spiritual practice, be it breathing, yoga, meditation. This is a must when serious tripping. Otherwise you'll lose a 25% of the experience doing things which should already be done coming into the experience. In the trip, I like to have many tools with me. I wear Rudraksha, I like to have a vajra, a bell, a cross, a walking rod, a knife (don't recommend for newbies), some ointments, etc. These tools work for specific higher consciousness activities that need to be performed, I may become very unstable for that I take the rod, I may become rigid and solid for that the bells shaking it all out, I may have to purge some profound shit, for that the cross, I may need to rewire some energy circuits for that the vajra, etc. Ending, it's always good to have some integration, I like to take one sizable insight/action from the trip and one image that represents the trip holistically.

I'd say 30min for the full peak, although if the dose is strong at 20min you can already be quite there. The peak I'd say like 45min from a chemical standpoint, but from a consciousness standpoint you can stretch it to a solid 80min honestly, by which point your just landing while maintaining higher consciousness, closing the loop into your baseline state.

Both can happen simultaneously. I have to share that my spiritual advancement has become so quick thanks to an obsessive study of the greatest mystics of all time, at the same time these mystics teach you that at the end of the day it's you who do the work and must breakthrough it all, achieving total sovereignty of Mind and God-Realisation, as everything is but a figment of your own mind, hence no figment can shine for the Infinity of all that you are. Anchoring your mind on the best can give you direction and invaluable advice, but can also trap your consciousness in subtle limitations and delusions. Breaking free from all anchors will make you more sovereign and intelligent, but on its own may block you reinventing the wheel on consciousness traps already solved. What is very clear, is that after a certain point nobody will have awaken to what you're Awakening to and then you're totally alone discovering the new frontiers of Consciousness.

@Terell Kirby it's a joke, can't we have some fun? (Pd: Now I even feel low-key bad, no intend for disrespect at all, it was a funny in the moment occurrence) And it would be quite interesting to deliver the ultimate truths through the medium of a super hot woman.

That sure would be more stimulating than watching your bald head❤️

The law of minimum effort is conformity.

@lostingenosmaze Routes of Administration.

It's actually a low bar. Almost the bare minimum to get the ball rolling. Let's say Solipsism is true and then you think it's false, just see how seriously wrong would that make all your metaphysics and epistemology.

God is scary because it's terrifyingly infinite and self-loving.

Most ROAs are conformity, there's no open-mindedness and appreciation for the subtleties of each one.

If someone comes and beats you with a stick, does that make you weaker or stronger? Reality is; the whole ordeal is what you make out of it.

Good, I wish him the best, that was a nice start.

Being a bit visionary, I think transhumanism is where we are heading as Humanity. It is the biggest leap in Human evolution that will happen this century and as so, I would like to really understand what are we getting ourselves into. Would you enhance your Mind through technology? Would you enhance your body through technology? If yes, to what extent? How might transhumanism challenge traditional human frameworks, and what new paradigms might emerge in response? How being a Human will be redefined? In the pursuit of enhancing human capabilities through technology, how do we ensure fairness between biological humans and transhumans? Would you personally do it? Will we even have a choice, due to the incresing gap that will be generated between biological humans and technologically enhanced humans? Having instant mind access to the whole internet through Artificial Intelligence will directly make you get a job, if the rest of participants can't do so.
