It's incredible how the post about women and sex generated almost 1.5 pages of discussion and counting, given that it's sandwiched between Quotes #391–392 that are far more significant, as it not only explains the sex stuff but infinitely more, and yet not a word on those in this thread so far. Perhaps the issue is precisely that they're too all-encompassing, so there's nothing to discuss/argue about. Ironically in pointing this out I'm still the exact same as everyone else, trapped in my own selfishness; the only reason I'm able to handwave away the topic of relationships is due to being asexual, whereas to others it's an actual serious matter. Delightful to see such a divergence of perspectives, especially considering we're all One thing.

You may be disappointed when you finally get to try it. Or not, everyone is different. For me mescaline and proscaline were so unremarkable I barely even remember anything about the experience. To the best of my recollection, there wasn't much of VC, they're on the lighter side of PEA body load. You can find synthetic mescaline sulfate btw. I only bought a gram of each, perhaps that's why it was so mediocre. But if a substance requires shoving hundreds of mgs down your throat to have a significant effect, that usually means it's simply not a very good one, with very few exceptions. Most likely there'll exist some close analogue that's an order of magnitude more potent. To wit, both 2C-B and 2C-E are part of the "magical half-dozen" of PEAs, together with mescaline, as per Shulgin.

Well, at best it will just be an unpleasant background nuisance. Mind over matter doesn't fly here. Even being unable to control auditory hallucinations while in absolute God-realization is possible (in general, on any substance), Consciousness is weird like that. But if the trip goes sideways the body load will surely add fuel to the fire, creating a vicious circle. Puking on that 30mg 2C-E and similarly with a bunch of DXM just wasted the trip and gave me a headache, no other negative effects per se. If you take too much the body might auto-reject it. Then again, oftentimes it's immediately after puking that people start rolling hard as fuck on MDMA. But the mechanisms there are different. I haven't experienced vasoconstriction in a long time due to a variety of factors — switching ROA to IM, barely doing any phenethylamines, and getting/producing higher quality substances, among others.

It's quite intense, with a steep dose-response curve. A few extra mg can make the difference between fun & games and existential terror. I have a good amount saved, it's still one of the better substances out there; pity it's a rarity these days. 'Real trouble' simply means body load and vasoconstriction specifically. On 30mg I had to puke and was overheating. The DOx are even harsher and just last way too long, days for some people, never more than 20h for me, but past even 10 any trip gets annoying and lukewarm. Psychedelic amphetamines as a class are rather pointless overall, save for a few exceptions like MDMA; either do psychedelics or amphetamines, not their retarded child. More like it just has a darker vibe to it, it's to 2C-B what DPT is to DMT. But some prefer that, myself included. For fat egos and generally immature people it sure feels like a bad trip though. In the EU at least there's plenty of online pharmacies that sell prescription meds that are OTC or just stolen in, let's say, less developed member states. RC benzos aren't as easy to come by these days as they used to, but can still be found on the clearnet. Sounds about right, 20mg is often rather light even for amateurs; Leo just has an abnormal sensitivity to all psychs.

Prescription with an asterisk. Here in Spain ADHD treatment is totally antiquated, especially for adults. Best case scenario they give you methylphenidate for 70€/mo even subsidized, which produces nasty effects for me. So despite not having ADHD officially diagnosed, its severity is all too obvious, so I self-medicate. Had a close call with serious addiction, but it's under control now. I buy lab-tested d-meth of 99% purity. The main effect is simply amazing clarity and focus, as well as fluidity of mind, no libido increase or any of that nonsense; hence baseline, it doesn't affect my perception in weird ways or make me manic. Still, can't recommend anyone do this even in a similar situation. What you said about Kriya before the edit is interesting, I do basically zero spiritual techniques of this sort, and the only times I seriously tried (shamanic breathing and meditation), I went into full-blown delirium two for two. Which ain't a bad experience by any means, I'll experiment with actual anticholinergics this year, it just wasn't directly conducive to my understanding of reality so I never bothered to try again. But maybe soon time will come to revisit some of these more traditional methods.

As powerful as some of the classics like LSD or 5-MeO's at that dose. Lesson is if you take enough of almost any psychoactive, it could launch you into God-consciousness all the same. Whether you'll survive the ordeal is a separate matter. Posted my old trip report, check it out if interested: Not ideal, at this point you just have to see how trustworthy the source is. 30-35mg is a good starting dose for someone experienced with other psychedelics. Cut it out regardless, but for vasoconstriction specifically it's good practice to have something like clonidine around, plus benzos/antipsychotics as emergency trip killers. 2C-B is pretty light though, the real trouble starts at 2C-E, DOx, and NBMOes. Possible. I've seen everything from people accidentally snorting 200mg and simply drowning in a sea of visuals, which is child's play next to my 120mg or even Leo's 20mg. Depends on quality of one's consciousness, but also there's a pretty definite ceiling via receptor affinity levels and such.

Probably closer to 100μg tbh. THC seems to potentiate other substances almost exponentially. We'll see it how it goes when I get my THCA isolate. For now I can't imagine it having a psychedelic effect other than dirty confusion. Then again, for me methamphetamine is psychedelic & the best tool for increasing baseline consciousness. An utterly insane statement to 99% of people, and for good reason; if they tried to replicate this they'd sorely regret it, at which point it would already be too late. Genetics is such a volatile field, you never know what to expect, which's why it's so fascinating.

A rather old trip report, from nearly 2 years ago. Pretty powerful nonetheless; I'll throw it in here as to not pollute the thread I'm referencing it in with a wall of text.

There are no old/new labs, only LL. Either your current vendor stored it badly, or they bought crystal base and laid it on blotter themselves, with sloppy technique &or underdosed. But you should also just keep it sublingual regardless. The 1x-'s are still nowhere near the potency of the original, their creator admits as much himself, which is very integrous of him.

Mentioned here already, but Bugonia is awesome. Acting, cinematography, editing & sound design, all the gaslighting and psychological mind games; manages to keep the tension the whole way through. A breath of fresh air amidst all the garbage being pumped out. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12300742/

Eh, it's alright. If that's all you have access to, it's still better than nothing. Though if it's sourced from darknet markets and especially in pressed form, it's difficult to assess the purity. Phenethylamines in general carry a more notable body load due to vasoconstriction, while rarely providing anything special that can't be had from tryptamines. Not entirely worthless by any means, but never my first choice. 2C-B is one of the most forgiving in that regard as well as tolerance-wise. I did have my first complete awakening to Solipsism on 2C-B, but that was with 120mg, which regular people shouldn't push. Otherwise it's pretty decent as a sort of training wheels psychedelic, but then again so can 4-HO-MET and the like.

Hahahaha, that's a good one. Every country has a dark and violent history, Croatia is no exception:

But seriously, Leo seems to have fallen into a trap he once pointed out himself — starting too many projects at once. And when he said he's done making promises, which in itself is a promise of sorts, several promises have been made and also not delivered since then. Maybe a rewatch of "How to get shit done" is in order, where Leo says that talk is cheap — first go do it then come talk about it. I understand there's a business to run, so some hype/marketing has to be generated, but when nothing ends up delivered it's a bad look; not announcing anything at all would've been preferable. "Corruption of Actualized.org" would be an interesting meta-addition. There's endless examples of the abyss between the teachings and how 99% of users apply them. Plus more of Leo's own corruption; the personal exposé in Psychology of Being Wrong was a good start, but not enough. Where's the list of all the evil stuff? Wrong and evil are somewhat different. When I was the only one to post that list publicly it got deleted, probably for being too explicit. But if we profess to care about truth so much, that goes against the spirit of the work. Drag all the filth out, no matter how painful; that's the best way to combat corruption. Though at a certain point, it's understood that corruption is an absolute metaphysical necessity, and giving up or continuing to fight after that realization are both corruption in their own unique ways. But even if Leo doesn't deliver, there's always DIY contemplation & learning to test how much you truly understand the other lessons.

In Barcelona you can meet our boy @Davino. Mountains around Madrid are the best, only rivaled by some places in the north. But it's no catastrophic miss by any stretch. It's pretty quiet in the little pueblos and mostly old folk, but at certain times of the day people go out to hang out at bars and whatnot, so it's not totally dead. Starting around end of June I'll be down south in the Marbella-Malaga area to visit family, let's see how it goes. In any case wish you a fun and eventful journey.

Ironic how this is framed as reductio ad absurdum, when in fact it's a tautology on par with "existence exists" and exactly how reality 'came to be'. God created itself, causality, limitation, and separation.

As in creating itself. DNA replication inside you is God creating itself, you forming thoughts/ideas while reading this or doing whatever else is God creating itself. Same for nuclear fusion powering stars and whatnot, but it goes far beyond the material; God also creates time, mathematical truths and their discovery. Any process and state is created by God through imagination. It creates every distinction too, such as organic vs. inorganic, life vs. death. Someone biologically alive and in otherwise perfect health can feel soul-dead (depressed) as they're God unconsciously creating a perception of reality as negative or meaningless. The more this is understood and integrated into baseline consciousness, the more alive one feels.

Even ignoring bypass of first-pass metabolism and faster absorption via sublingual, LSD in particular is very weak to chlorine (though these 1-acyl substitutes are slightly more resistant), which is far more present in the stomach (from tap water or whatever else) than in the mouth. When dealing with blotters I tend to keep them under different sides of the tongue, occasionally chewing for a bit before finally swallowing after 20-25 minutes. The entire 1x-LSD series was created and manufactured by Lizard Labs, since they closed down it's not produced anymore. So the only difference switching a vendor could make is if one stores theirs really poorly, otherwise it comes from the same lab and likely even batch. Despite being direct prodrugs of LSD, none of them hold a candle to original, quality LSD-25. 450μg of 1P-LSD is a joke next to 150μg of LSD-25. @Davino can confirm. Figure 7 comparing subjective effects in the study linked by @PsychedelicEagle shows this quite clearly. It's a shame that the vast majority sold is impure and inaccurately dosed, oftentimes by a factor of 2 or more, and as such very few dosages given in trip reports are to be trusted. Lastly, LSD tolerance & cross-tolerance is some of the most insidious out there, requiring at minimum 2 weeks to fully reset.

I experience permanent DMT tolerance, so consider yourself lucky

Both have beautiful nature, can't go wrong either way. I've only been to Croatia in passing, so my experience is limited, but I've lived in Spain for over 10 years. For the kind of social activities you're looking for, as well as lodging, Spain is probably more suitable, particularly in large cities such as Barcelona/Madrid (which your trail skips; too bad, would've been nice to hang out)/Malaga. While no specific events come to mind, there's always something going on. June weather might make you sweat though. It may also come as a surprise that more people in CR speak English, though that's mostly an issue in truly rural areas, and even then Spanish is quite a simple language to get the basics of in comparison. In general Spain is very accommodating for tourists in many aspects. Meeting other foreigners from all over the world is much more frequent here for sure. I've never interacted with women in a pickup context as that doesn't interest me, but simply on a personal level they're casual and easygoing, making for pleasant conversation. From what I hear and see, pretty sexually open too.

Pursuing accessibility can become its own trap. 'Tis a delicate balance to strike between depth and simplicity. No matter how plain and explicit some of the points are made, they can still be misused in various ways by unconscious people. In this sense, a certain degree of complexity serves as a filter of sorts. There has to be a mutually trusting relationship between the author and the reader; part of it is the author trusting the readers' intelligence and not doing them a disservice by dumbing down the content. Since it's supposed to be a timeless book (Leo's words), it matters little how few people will truly get its full significance in the present day, in a hundred years there'll be plenty more that do.

Even if God wanted to get rid of them, there'd be nowhere to throw them away to since God is Everything. So the only thing to do is accept. Not accepting them would diminish its infinity and therefore integrity, which must be maintained for the good of all creation. Maybe if God did throw them away they'd eventually mutate into some sort of monstrosity that would absorb and corrupt God, creating an actual Hell, which would be possible in this scenario as God made itself finite and thus susceptible to corruption. But God is too intelligent for that, so it prevented corruption at the root by already including all the possible corruption within itself along with an infinity of other 'good' stuff. This allows it to endlessly subdivide its Mind into an infinite diversity of biased minds that can judge things as evil, experience pleasure and suffering, feel guilt and joy, and so on. These are privileges God had to surrender, in this regard you're more powerful than God itself, so enjoy them while it lasts.

Right, it's a nice mindfuck. Nothing is finite, but some infinities are more infinite than others, yet we still get Equality in the end. 'Cause there is no others, now we're back at rudimentary nonduality

Perhaps it's actually you that doesn't respect love. Love respects you enough to not force itself upon you and lets you form whatever ideas you want about it; that itself is love. If it consumes your mind, that could be because you desperately want to understand it but just can't, I know the feeling. Love is really nothing other than complete acceptance. God is Love because it fully accepts itself as God, which is Truth, that's all there is to it. Other qualities are the same. To create itself out of nothing, God must possess infinite consciousness, intelligence, and imagination. Unconscious and unimaginative beings are consciously imagined in God's Mind. And so it is for lack of love. It's all quite simple and logical, though twisted at the same time. Regardless, Love is compulsory, but understanding of it for a finite form is not.

But of course. Intelligence can take on any form. Even the form of a rock. Just look at Oppenheimer & crew blindly building the atomic bomb, only realizing the consequences when it was too late; or the tech billionaires of today. It would be a trivial feat for a naturally more logically gifted and less emotionally sensitive species. Don't forget that successfully manipulating reality at scale and long-term requires enormous intelligence. Self-deception is Devil's infinite intelligence. It'll still lose out to Truth/Death/Nothing in the end, but it can persist almost indefinitely. Relatively speaking of course, as God and Devil are indistinct. It's not a question of 'might' exist, it absolutely does exist (within Infinity). Only a matter of whether we'll ever encounter such a thing ourselves.

A reason, absolutely; but not the reason. There's likely many advanced alien species that maintain non-intervention. Some in pity, as though looking over a child in the process of FAFO; others in derision, tuning into Earth like a trash-tier reality TV show. But there are far more considerations in maintaining the universal balance than collective human sanity or our whole existence. An intelligent civilization could easily deem that such a mass hysteria event is good to shake us up, or that cleansing the planet with a heliobeam (like the one Nazis wanted to build) is in order, or due to their own twisted evolutionary trajectory they somehow became interplanetary while remaining imperialistic and selfish, and they'll be balanced out in due time, but not before enslaving and exterminating us. Awakening doesn't really grant much additional predictive power when it comes to specific events, instead it cements the certainty of not-knowing. Not the boring, static kind, but one stemming from an overabundance of seeing infinite perspectives. Think Yhwach's 'The Almighty' in read-only mode.
