I think the body dies and the illusion of the self is broken and your consciousness continues on as the observer. You merge into all things. Some NDE describe this. You look at a rock and you are the rock. You perceive a tree and you are the tree. You observe a flower and you are the flower. There is no free will. You merge with god or you are god and you are formless and non localized. You may release your body gracefully or you may panic. We always know when we are gonna sneeze soon, or vomit soon, or orgasm soon, or yawn soon. You feel the reflex or instinct take over. I get the feeling many people know when they are dying. Maybe just 5 or 10 minutes or 5 or 10 seconds prior. They feel something end and they probably have an out of body experience and just drift away in euphoria and bliss. There will be no time or concern about time. Just the eternal now. All our questions will be answered when we die but the funny thing is we will instantly realize we were asking all the wrong questions and we will cease to think and we will simply be and perceive. -
I have the same trips. It is one side of the coin. The other side of the coin is euphoric blissful oceanic boundlessness and eternal love. It depends on your perspective and god’s perspective. Is he blissed out or is he bored of life and clawing at the walls? Are you in heaven or are you in purgatory or hell or are they all one in the same and each needs it’s opposite in order to exist? You cannot have white without black. I integrate this trip as I am alone and I am yearning to connect with an equal intellect to mine. I yearn for a friend or for love. I am projecting onto god. God is alone. He would love to meet another god. So he created all of us to enjoy friendship and love but god keeps waking up and realizing it is all an illusion and a dream. It is tragic beauty. A bittersweet situation. It is silly for us to presume god is “alone” or “in prison” or “insane” or “bored.” It is arrogant for us to apply our limited perspective onto god. Hang in there. Integration is the fun part so have years of patience.

Beauty could be based on memories of your mom or previous interactions with women. Beauty can be based on animal instinct or pheromones. I don't think our goal is to date every girl or love every girl or marry every girl. It is ok to follow your instincts. Let passion blossom and bloom. But if we get awakened or expand our consciousness we should eventually see everyone as ourselves. We are they and they are us. We should have more compassion. But our monkey mind might still take over sometimes. Or we might be in a bad mood some days. It is ok. -
Hello all, Europe and the West seems almost sabotaged and retarded by Christianity due to its concretization of heaven and hell and a patriarchal god and waiting for physical death and heaven and eternity with god. The Christian dogma actually prevents Buddhahood or awakening. I would assume Eastern nations and cultures would have a head start on awakening and bliss and higher levels of consciousness. Is this true? Are Eastern cultures more advanced spiritually or maybe their humanity is deeper? Are there more awakened people in the East? Is Western dominance over the globe only material in nature while the East is dominating spiritually and passively? Why the disparity between East and West? Why does the West seem more "successful?" The East has had time on their side and a longer incubation period. Or did I simply imagine World History so I could revolt against the majority Christian establishment and embrace an esoteric path chosen by a small minority of people? A somewhat related question is why educated, intelligent, wealthy people do not pursue enlightenment in greater numbers? Why aren't they sadhus, mendicants, and aesthetics? And why weren't the Gnostics and hermetics more successful? Thanks

All true. I am curious why the wealthiest most intelligent people don't find material success ultimately unsatisfying? I would expect more of them would be more vocal about awakening and internal pursuits. Many celebrities and many of us think if we get fame, power, money, etc. we will find happiness. Some successful people do realize material success does not fix their internal life when they reach the pinnacle of their industry. Some turn to drugs or suicide. I was wrong about membership of religious denominations. Here is a link to world memberships. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_populations Thank you all for all your responses. -
@Karla Maybe. But a mushroom is a mushroom. Culinary and cooking uses mushrooms. They are on the menu. But each person is different. I get strong closed eye visuals. Someone else gets a big body load with lots of repetitive movements and dance moves and compulsions. Strange stuff. Unpredictable.

Sleep, drink water, take vitamins, eat healthy, explain your feelings to a medical doctor, exercise, see nature, see water, be in nature, get therapy, read self help books, dance, do group activities, take classes, visit friends and family, go to school, find a new job, avoid sugar, caffeine, and salt, go vegan, tell your girlfriend the truth, take a break from your girlfriend, etc. Take psychedelics in a therapeutic way. Lay in bed, lights off, earbuds in, eyes closed, set your intention, integrate the experience, etc. Follow your instinct and intuition. Follow your heart. Live in the now. Ignore your brain. Ignore the past and the future. The universe will show you the truth. You need to die before your death. You gotta hit the bottom of the barrel. Step up to the ledge but do not jump.

Maybe indulge each stage to the extreme. Be yourself. I think Leo recommends this in his videos about spiral dynamics. Be greedy, have orgies, satisfy all your cravings in the extreme. The idea is hopefully you will find success in your current stage ultimately unsatisfying. You will then search for fulfillment and naturally move into the next stage. You have to be honest with yourself. Otherwise you will convince yourself you are the King of your stage and everyone else is stupid and you will stay at that stage forever.

I am 4 hours too late to this party. We've all been there. Hang in there. But see nature, walk around, talk to friends or family, listen to pop music with major chords and no minor chords, see the sun, drink water, eat, watch a movie, stimulate all 5 senses, distract yourself, meditate, breathe, sing to yourself or sing along with music, call fireside project, etc. Pick one thing and stick with it.
-
There is also great variation in the users behavior. I tend to lay on my bed with my eyes closed in the dark with earbuds in. Other people might watch movies or hang out with friends, etc. So each experience is very different. I also get restlessness on both shrooms and LSD. Constant movement and muscle tensing.
-
I would say shrooms give more of an emotional catharsis and euphoria and ecstasy. I can get there on LSD also but LSD seems more analytical. They are both pretty random. Good trips and bad trips. High body load and zero body load. Very unpredictable. I usually take 3 grams of dried shrooms or more which is a high dose. I have intense closed eye visuals on mushrooms.

I am struggling with this also. But maybe there is no free will. We are part of the Big Bang like a grenade and we are still only a few seconds into the grenade exploding. We are part of the Big Bang and we are part of the unfolding explosion. There is no free will. We tapped into consciousness but we fell prey to an illusion we are associated with this body and we are an individual consciousness. Our thoughts are also part of materialism and the Big Bang. We are the thoughtless mindless observer. We may be a very low level form of consciousness that has a very tiny chance at reaching the next level inside this lifetime. -
Google hard on this topic. With all plants and seeds it is best to grow your own and harvest your own. Many store bought seeds are washed and soaked with pesticides and preservatives. These chemicals make you sick. Read the labels and warnings. Google hard. Buy store bought seeds but plant them and grow the plant and harvest seeds from your plant.

Howdy, How do you all address these red flags? How can we be sure our path is correct? 1. In Christianity heaven exists after death. So the con is the Church controls you and the reward comes after death. It is the perfect closed system. Any con man would be proud of this scam. The reward is in the afterlife. 2. Awakening cannot be communicated. This sounds very suspicious. A con man would be proud of this scam. 3. Awakening appeals to psychedelic drug users, but to the general populace, these drugs simply exploit a short circuit in the brain and turn people into drop outs and burnouts. The psychedelics convince us the hallucination is more real than our sober reality and this might be an error of our cognition. A path involving mind altering drugs seems suspicious. 4. If there is a devil or trickery, the devil would appeal to our arrogance thinking we are god or the only "main character" of this simulation. We are seduced and exploited by the devil. Christians seem to have humility but Buddhists seem to be blasphemous in striving for Buddhahood. How can we be sure this is not all Rene Descartes' "evil demon?" Are the Gnostics correct? Thanks

You can work out what life is for. You are working it out. Just give yourself a 50 year time span. Allan Watts said god does a mind wipe and presses the "random" button and lives your life. Leo says life is a video game but God is tired of "god mode" or the "cheat codes" so god is playing the game on the difficult setting. -
It's a 12 hour trip. So wake up rested and take it in the morning. Trip for 12 hours and hope you can sleep that night.

What is your take on the riddle? I am thinking all paths are correct, and any path I find myself on is the correct path. To quote John Lennon, "There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be. It's easy. All you need is love." I should stop searching for a path and just "be." Thank you to everyone for all your responses. Excellent responses. -
I get the same message. I get versions of the message even more extreme and frightening than your version. Remember you are god and you are the universe and you are the monad. If there is no escape, you can either whine and complain about it as god, or you can make the best of your situation. Play the hand you are dealt. Enjoy a limitless universe and imagination. Enjoy infinite creation. Or get depressed and torture yourself as god. The choice is yours. It is all perception.

Another point is how our eyes blink and vision cuts out. So an infant is raised to be a "self" because it feels like we are just behind the eyes. We can eliminate ownership of thoughts and neutralize the "I" and the "me" but we also seem to have control over visual perception. Can anyone reply to this point? Thanks. -
I have the exact same experience. You are not alone. Terrance McKenna often referred to the "meat locker." If you trip and tell yourself not to think of a pink elephant, you're gonna think of a pink elephant. You may be stuck in a loop. You may be greedy for the euphoria and bliss. You are trying to control the trip. You have expectations. The cosmos always has control. You must embrace and inhabit your insignificance. Have patience. Give yourself a 50 year plan. Work on your chakras. Do yoga. Study yoga. Study chakras. Let go of your schedule and your plan. Let the universe come to you. Do not go looking for the universe. Let go. The lesson here is to surrender control. All will be revealed. You are not ready. You are skipping steps. Open your eyes. Accept the message. Show respect for the cosmos and the monad. This is not a game. There are no shortcuts. Explore your shadow. Get therapy. Read self help books. You have a calling. You have been chosen. This is not about recreation. These drugs are a tool. This is not escapism. Pack your bags. Buy the ticket. Take the ride. Hang in there. We've all been there.

Thank you for the guide. I have a few questions. When the body dies or gets brain damage, what happens? Do we return to the cosmic consciousness? Would it be possible to raise an infant in the buddha state or non-self state if we never said "you" or "I?" If we are a dome bubble of perception localized around our body, how does that happen? Maybe during pregnancy or birth or childhood the human brain captures a piece of the cosmic consciousness? And upon death this little piece merges back into the cosmic consciousness? Thanks -
I will chime in here. I seem to be a non-responder to MDMA. You can google that if you wish and read accounts of people who tested their stuff and used the same batch as their friends who all "rolled" but they did not. So be prepared for a dud or placebo experience. I get crystals/rocks around 1 gram or 3 grams. I am male about 170 pounds.I have taken 230mg bombed or swallowed as powder in a kleenex. I did not roll and bumped another 100 mg. I never rolled. I have done MDMA maybe 10 times and it never works on me. Maybe I get clarity and lack of fear. I do get some symptoms like the sweats, jaw clenching, darting eyes, etc. Sometimes I have a comedown 2 days later. Sometimes I feel great for 2 weeks with no comedown. I feel emotional in a good way for 2 weeks with no comedown. I test my stuff with 3 reagents. The dosage advice on the main page at erowid is good. I suspect MDMA needs other people present. Like how you cannot tickle yourself. You need other people around to trigger the empathy and love. I recommend you take 80mg and wait 2 hours and if nothing is happening take another 80mg. If nothing happens, wait 3 months and try higher dosages. But keep that same crystal so you know the strength and effects. Be well. Be safe.

Back to the drawing board for me. -

Cool questions. 1. Imagination helps 2. Understanding is an illusion. It is mental acrobatics. Nothing is to be understood. Just be. Just know. It might relieve suffering by placating a false ego with false sufferings. 3. Understanding brings joy because the ego is relieved you bought into the false concept. 4. Understanding enriches perception of the illusion, but clouds the perception of non-duality/the monad. -

I think I had ego death on LSD. My eyes were closed and I was laying down. My mind was racing. I could not focus on any thought. My mind was like a rolodex just spinning. I suddenly thought to myself, "I've gone insane." I felt shame. I was thinking of family and friends all ashamed of me and visiting me in the psych ward. But suddenly I detached or became aware I was an observer observing my mind and these thoughts about shame. I was free. My ego was trying to control me by forcing me to feel shame and scaring me that I had gone insane. But I was actually the calm observer. I then had a wonderful trip of "no-mind" and just "being" and bliss and oceanic boundlessness. I was astral projecting and saw Krishna and Radha dancing in the cosmos.
