    @Leo Gura will you make a video on this topic in the future? The world of Mental health and Disorders is so important and fascinating, what is schizophrenia, ect??? It makes me question my own mental health and my own experiences when trying to look at what's going on with someone that has a disorder. It goes back to the question, what is consciousness? This question goes so deep especially in the world of understanding Mind.

    Also psychedelics, they produce these mental states or do they merely draw out what is already there? Hallucinations, and psychosis, why do psychedelics put one in states that can be interpreted as mental disorders? It can be frightening for someone having a strong trip that feels psychotic but an extremely expanded state of consciousness but you know you can't tell someone, especially a psychiatrist because they will tell you that you are having a episode and put you on drugs ironically.

    For "things to appear" you'd need to take some very high dose like 6g+.

    I don't recommend dosing that high. It gets dangerous.

    The truth of relativity is strong. Perception warps, you have to control yourself not to do anything rash or dumb, you have to be mentally strong to stay calm. It can feel like trying to breathe in a tight box, or walking through a dangerous alley with all sorts of unpredictable weirdness. It can also be ecstatic but when your out sailing in the ocean of mind, mind leads.

    With police people act out the defense mechanisms they used against their parents as children

    That's a solid observation. People use the defense mechanisms against their parents or siblings when they were younger even in relationships. Someone once said that a woman doesn't treat you the way she treats her father, she treats you the way her mother treated her father.

    can you share what you have??

    Check out Leo's episode " The 9 stages of ego development" part 1-3. There is a link in the description of an in depth 90 page article of this model by Susan which goes into insane depth of how an individual mind thinks, evolves and survives. Check it out. Life transforming

    @Leo Gura  Susan cook greuter is so underrated, I'm reading her paper and looking at some interviews of hers. Do you have any more resources, books and recommendations to further deepen my understanding. You can pm me if you want, I really want to touch those higher stages, watch for self deception and reassure myself especially at the construct aware stage, it can be disorienting and quite lonely

    My advice is - don't cook your lungs.

    Anything inhaled regularly - vaping / smoking / chroming.

    Do not! 

    Once your lungs are done you are fucked. 

    Leather lungs 💪🏽 🫁 hahah. I don't smoke anymore, however maybe in the future I will use the pure cannabinoids chemical in small doses very infrequently just

    I don't know how much that is genetic. Lots of people are drawn to personal development and psychological topics.

    Personality type is a factor. Lots of INTPs here.

    Enfj + psychonaut here

    @Leo Gura William James said  "Our normal waking consciousness is but one special type of consciousness whilst all about it parted from it by the filmiest of screens their lie potential forms of Consciousness entirely different. We may go through life without suspecting the existence but apply the requisite stimulus and at a touch they are there in all their completeness definite types of mentality which probably somewhere have their field of application and adaptation. No amount of the universe in its totality can be final which leaves these other forms of Consciousness quite disregarded. Now to regard them as the question for they are so discontinuous with ordinary consciousness. They may determine attitudes, though they cannot furnish formulas and open a region though they fail to give a map. At any rate they forbid our premature closing of accounts with reality".  He wrote that in 1902

    I've experienced all these fears on LSD over a period of 12 hours, but what's fucked up is that every minute is eternity. It was so much that I begged to come down, prayed to be sober again and to forget God for a moment. I can't go back, but I'm happy I have a strong mind, didn't scream for help, simply held my brothers arm so I wouldn't sink down into the pits of cosmic God knows what. 

    Your descriptions give me flashbacks however. This is serious shit

    I had a dream where I traced time all the way back, further and further, until time itself dissolved. You won't believe what I discovered! What I found was this. The present moment. Infinite, nowhere, here and alive. I wasn't looking at it from the outside. I am it looking as itself but there is no one looking. Consciousness recognizing itself. Everything that has ever existed or could ever exist was just this one thing taking every possible form. And somehow, in that dream, I knew it completely. Not as a thought. As what I am.

    Everything that is possible exist in every possible way imaginable, if you imagine the multiverse times infinity, even that exists in infinite possible different ways, times infinity motherfucker. Infinity is pregnant.
