I’ve said this before, but I think it’s worth mentioning again: Whenever you judge someone, you are simultaneously judging yourself. Just food for thought

@Juan That’s the funny thing, though. If psychedelics, people, degrees of awakening, concepts, etc. are all figments of Consciousness, wouldn’t that imply that there’s no absolute right or wrong to anything? Of course, in a relative sense it’s still important to have concepts and guidelines, but even then those are subject to change depending on how conscious you are.

What makes you think that awakening does not have degrees? Ok I found your explanation here: Very interesting… different than what Leo teaches. I wonder who is right

Leo = The Simpsons Noted! From Wikipedia: By 2000, some long-term fans had become disillusioned with the show, and pointed to its shift from character-driven plots to what they perceived as an overemphasis on zany antics.

@Breakingthewall The ultimate psychedelic is LOVE. I will experiment with higher THC soon. I tried it a year ago, but it was too intense for me. We’ll see what happens this time around.

It holds no value because you’re still in denial of yourself. I am too. Nope. That’s a trap.

The goal is not to eliminate suffering and maximize happiness: it’s about understanding EVERYTHING. The clinic I went to puts an IV into your arm. The bag contained 500mg magnesium as well to lessen stress/anxiety. I was also administered an anti-nausea medication prior. I worked with a therapist (aka professional trip sitter) during my first 6 infusions. What makes IV infusion unique compared to other methods is that the drug enters your system gradually over the span of an hour. So if someone’s experience were to be too intense, the staff can simply stop the process and give you other medications that will tame your anxiety, anger, etc. if needed. I personally didn’t need any of that done. They start you at a low dose to assess how it affects you. The low doses are really calming, like a vacation. I also had vision of friends, but they were not someone separate from me. Instead, it’s seeing myself as them. After each trip, I’d take a week or two to process the trip. When I came back for the next trip, they would increase the dose (always with your permission and willingness to explore deeper). This is where it starts to get intense. My greatest fears were faced head-on; at first the therapist was able to guide me through it. At the highest doses, however, the therapist ceases to exist even when you’d think you’d need them. Therefore, fear must be faced all alone. Not only do you experience fear at such a radical degree, you transcend it! This is beyond the ego state; beyond rationality. — People who’ve never done psychedelics may assume that these intense visions are just a hallucination that can simply be rationalized away. Ha! That can’t be further from the truth. The experience is as real as real gets, even realer than the human life you fancy yourself living. You don’t have time to think about avoiding yourself when you’re at the brink of death. You literally have to trust God (aka yourself) at that point! This is what humans are avoiding every waking hour. You may think that all problems are solved afterwards; the end. I mean, you’ve faced the greatest challenge of your life and overcame it, right? No! This is where the integration process begins. Yes, going back to your human life… working on your relationships, mental health, emotions, career, etc. However, you work on all those facets from a much wiser and wider perspective. The integration process is non-linear; it may appear that you’re slipping backwards. In fact, your human life does get worse! Yet somehow, internally, you’re growing. And you rise from the ashes again and again. Why does it get worse? Because prior to all this spiritual work you were living in a complete fantasy that you had to maintain. The more you deconstruct your identity, the more the fantasy is going to be calling you back. Keep moving forward despite that. This is a process of dying consciously. This will take years of work to understand the profundity of reality at ever deeper levels, so as Moksha would say, pace enlightenment! My last ketamine infusion was a year ago. I plan on going back, probably by the end of this year. I have no idea what to expect given that my life has changed radically since, but that’s the beauty of it all.

We need to ban guns in video games… yeah, that’s the solution!

What trying to wake up a religious person is like The newspaper is the Bible

Haha, funny you should mention that! My cannabis doctor (yes, I have a specific doctor who prescribes and guides me on how to use it) actually recommended I try using a higher THC formula once a week. This doctor is onto something

Yep.

I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) as a kid. Shit traumatized me. I now live in Texas 20 years later

I peed my pants the same night I did one of my ketamine infusion. Was imagining myself peeing in my bathroom, but it turns out I was still sleeping in bed. Can confirm via direct experience God is capable of that.

“I don’t like sand. Too much water. 4.20/10”

69. Yin and Yang.

Love is another facet that can be embodied. Infinite Love is hella counterintuitive, since it includes everything you hate.

@r0ckyreed cheers!

Hint: you’re arguing with yourself. Always. Unless you see through it

Or you can cut through all that crap and focus on yourself Trust me, I’ve argued plenty. It’s not worth it in the end.

You ultimately have to listen to yourself. See yourself as all the figures on the forum… and even then that’s just the tip of the needle

Letting yourself go is the ultimate go, yo.

Leo is imagined by you. Now the next question is: Is Leo you? Who says you cannot know you are in a dream right now? You are him. Nice, I am on the autism spectrum as well.

I never thought to frame the illusion of other like this. Thank you!
