Some psy festivals I would like to attend before they get too popular.

@hinawashi Oh great! Keep at it. Expect loads and loads of backlashes but during these it is so important to be aware. When feeling pride in a discussion, just be aware. How does it make you feel? A bit of good? Does it last? How does it make the other person feel? Can you see them as they are, just existing? Don't repress but just maintain awareness of how it really makes you feel before, during and after. Eventually you will come to the conclusion that it doesn't serve you anymore cause it makes you feel icky inside. So critical for me to keep up with my daily meditation practice although I know it's nothing compared to a retreat but I see it as a good bridge or maintenance til my next retreat or psychedelic journey. To have that inner strength to give it that extra push, concentration, or even surrender to really see things as they are.

As my awareness gets sharper and sharper I am also becoming more and more aware of these things. And so with awareness alone it can be curative. Try signing up for a 10 day Vipassana meditation retreat and see how much of this you can purge out and slowly peel away from your mind.

@MsNobody I can relate to your story from my first retreat; anxiety, judgments, extreme fantasies. I couldn't possibly follow the technique the first time because I was just loaded and backed up from years of toxic stuff. It was just a purging mess. I can't even imagine what a solo retreat would do.. I feel it would literally kill me.

Markus has some great videos on his channel on raw food health.

To me it seems Universal and definitely inevitable. Just the Universe realizing itself at the experiential level.

"Anita worked in the corporate field before being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Four years after being diagnosed her body began shutting down. As her organs failed she entered into an extraordinary near-death experience where she realized the cause of her disease as well as waking up to who she truly is. On regaining consciousness she found her condition had improved so rapidly that she was released from hospital within weeks." My question, do we have to "die" psychologically, physically or both, in order to experience the multi facet of reality?

Reason for posting this is because of the number of reoccurring reporting of OOBE, encounter with entities with alien like creatures or deceased loved ones, feelings of warmth and peace. Pulled from Wiki: Common elements Researchers have identified the common elements that define near-death experiences. Bruce Greyson argues that the general features of the experience include impressions of being outside one's physical body, visions of deceased relatives and religious figures, and transcendence of egotic and spatiotemporal boundaries. Many common elements have been reported, although the person's interpretation of these events often corresponds with the cultural, philosophical, or religious beliefs of the person experiencing it. For example, in the USA, where 46% of the population believes in guardian angels, they will often be identified as angels or deceased loved ones (or will be unidentified), while Hindus will often identify them as messengers of the god of death. Although the features of NDEs vary from one case to the next, common traits that have been reported by NDErs are as follows: A sense/awareness of being dead. A sense of peace, well-being and painlessness. Positive emotions. A sense of removal from the world. An out-of-body experience. A perception of one's body from an outside position. Sometimes observing medical professionals performing resuscitation efforts. A "tunnel experience" or entering a darkness. A sense of moving up, or through, a passageway or staircase. A rapid movement toward and/or sudden immersion in a powerful light (or "Being of Light") which communicates with the person. An intense feeling of unconditional love and acceptance. Encountering "Beings of Light", "Beings dressed in white", or similar. Also, the possibility of being reunited with deceased loved ones. Receiving a life review, commonly referred to as "seeing one's life flash before one's eyes". Receiving knowledge about one's life and the nature of the universe. Approaching a border, or a decision by oneself or others to return to one's body, often accompanied by a reluctance to return. Suddenly finding oneself back inside one's body. Connection to the cultural beliefs held by the individual, which seem to dictate some of the phenomena experienced in the NDE and particularly the later interpretation thereof. Stages Kenneth Ring (1980) subdivided the NDE on a five-stage continuum. The subdivisions were: Peace Body separation Entering darkness Seeing the light Entering the light He stated that 60% experienced stage 1 (feelings of peace and contentment), but only 10% experienced stage 5 ("entering the light"). According to Alana Karran, the NDE stages resemble the so-called hero's journey.

A new update on Gaia announced that a new creature has been discovered. Much smaller in size than "Maria" (video above) and about 700 years older. I payed the $1 fee for the first month to see this video. I recommend you check it out as well.

The few times that I have experienced this leaves me utterly confused right then and there. I just can't accept the fact that I created all of this when I come back to my egoic self.

@Azrael Is your state of being very much like a low-medium dose of psilocybin? Timeless, egoless, pure state of being. I can very much relate to most of what you're saying on shrooms.

Luiz is known to channel famous deceased painters.

@sweater https://www.amazon.com/80-10-Diet/dp/1893831248 Check this book out. You can totally do 15 bananas a day but you would have to keep your fat intake low. Either go high carb low fat or high fat low carb.

@nexusoflife Felt like a spanking good self reflection into my inner childlike soul. All my petty super subtle tensions towards situations or this or that person have been evaporated and I felt bare naked and exposed to my most vulnerable state. Somehow got ahold of this video and from there it all started to come down. I had no choice but to forgive everyone and lastly myself. It was quite shocking too see all my suppressed emotions I bypassed come up to the surface. In my experience edibles are just as great if not more cause the experience is longer to contemplate or surrender deeper into it.

@nexusoflife Haha perfect. I just had a nice strong toke last night by myself(haven't in months) and I cried for an hour straight on my bed. A sloppy mess but wow did it clear a lot of shit.

@Azrael Do you still get lost in monkey mind? Ruminating over the past? Do you rest in Being for the majority of your day?

Psychedelics can help if you're stuck. Simply, go do some mushrooms. Or check out a 10 day vipassana retreat. Maybe you're too busy going back and forth from doing one thing to the next. What you need is a good chunk of time dedicated to spiritual work, hence psychedelics or a retreat.

@Dodo I thought the same until I actually experienced it. Thinking and conceptualizing that the world is perfect as it is and also that there is no me are UNIVERSES apart from actually experiencing it. It will shit your pants and rip the jaws out of your mouth by it's very true nature. Everyone should try it at least once it their lives, or not, it's still God...but you see only those that have experienced it can really know that. @Seed There's a reason why it's the most powerful psychedelic on the planet because of it's nondual nature. No other molecule can do that. That means there is no self and other, which means death of "I". You have to be willing to die right then and there. If she had done more research before taking it she might've been better off.

Try making tea with the mushrooms with a lemon tek for a stronger come up and effect. 1) Grind up mushrooms 2) Squeeze lemon juice into grinded mushrooms and let sit for 20mins. "The theory being that the lemon juice dephosphorylates the 4-PO-DMT (psilocybin) into 4-HO-DMT (psilocin). So ideally you want to lower the PH. But I think any citric acid solution should make some kind of difference" 3) Pour in boiling water that has been cooling for 5 min into cup of grinded mushrooms and let that sit for another 20min. Strain and drink or drink straight. Hope this helps.

Did 12mg in an oil pipe a few hours ago. This will be my 2nd time, the first being with Octavio Rettig which was a way too high of a dose to even remember, but this was just right. Impossible to put into words but all I can suggest is to constantly surrender every millisecond because it can be very awkward for the sense of self as it gets swallowed from every possible angle until there is nothing left there to cling on and identify with. Martin Ball is totally on point with the symmetrical movements. I felt like a ballerina ninja moving so effortlessly, convulsively, and symmetrically. Contracting and crying intensely and expanding with immediate intense joy as this happened multiple times back to back to back. Tried to release as much shit out. I looked at my friend (only us 2) and I literally saw it. It was obvious in plain sight that there was only one person there and only seemingly split into 2. I thought then and there that he knew all along and I felt innocently ashamed for all my pride and self centeredness prior. It's quite crazy that from an enlightened point of view everyone you look at it also enlightened, and it's impossible to believe them if they say they are not, and from this I realized that it ALL starts with me. How I think the world IS is just a reflection of my awareness. Realized at that peak moment that I only exist in my own head. Things just happen and I automatically put a label on it by taking the default position that I'm the doer. It's quite an awkward feeling when you're going back and forth from the total realization of no-doer to the doer. After 30 mins of cool down and returning I again hit the brown liquid residue in the pipe (still alot of clear smoke) as I was totally excited to return and beauty behold it was just as intense if not more! I figured that after all the emotional crying and surrendering from the first hit, the second hit was more open and clear to do some more exploring which seemed a complete, crystal clear, perfection of reality that was everything. Saw a thick fly buzzing around the room and it was obvious in the clear sight that it was also God saying hi to God. Mind chattering. It was an entire different session itself. Recommend going for seconds or even thirds from the single dose (although it may already be too dark/burnt). This is the most beautiful/terrifying experience an individual can experience in this Universe and it's all up to them. It is not to be taken lightly and messed around with. I could see how it could really fuck you up if you are not ready for it and resist; I cringe just thinking about the terror. Tip before having a session: Make amends and treat others as yourself because you will be punished by realizing that they are literally you.

Which method is the best way to smoke 5meo (freebase)? Volcano? The thing with this is that it will fill up the bag with mostly air for the first few seconds. Oil pipes? Might waste and burn the substance.

@alyra Check out the film Ghost In The Shell. I haven't watched but I believe it's about machines who believe they have an identity and free will.

Get "high" (on marijuana if this is permissible to your superego, or on ginseng, which is legal everywhere and recommended by many holistic physicians) and then go the a health spa. Enjoy a good swim, a massage and a sauna. Repeat every week, forever. - From Prometheus Rising by Robert Anton Wilson
