@OBEler @Echoes Tom Campbell describes the name obe as a misnomer. A useful description in the early days, but in his model you are not actually leaving your body. You are " switching data streams". Fascinating stuff. I've never willed an "obe" it is a long term goal of mine, but I am secretly terrified of it.

@Peace and Love Yeah I have cars and stuff around me, and for my brain or whatever the difference between having ear plus and no earplugs is the difference between feeling uncomfortable and feeling at peace. It is an interesting thing I have been noticing about myself lately.

@Peace and Love I've just started the practice of doing a walking meditation outdoors, while using earplugs to block out all sounds, and I must say it is very very beautiful. I used to listen to music always, but sound reducing ear plugs gives this very nice silence effect.

@Peace and Love teach me oh relationship guru, for I am very ignorant in this area of life.

@The Universe If you try to experience them you will find that they are real.

hey @Peace and Love are you going to play breath of the wild?

@Peace and Love awesome thread, I walk outside in nature almost everyday.

@Leo Gura The disillusion of fear is one of the most beautiful things ever. I must get back there, I must!

Thanks for asking

@SLICKHAWK While someone who understood this language may have understood the row of hebrew script, as it was, when I first got there. As soon as I focused on it, it began to rapidly change, and the rate of change was so fast that even the most advanced scholar would not have been able to understand it or keep up. I think it is possible that while my conscious mind did not understand it , a higher part of my self did. Though I am careful not to delude myself and guess what it was.

Well as much as I am reluctant to ascribe it to Christianity, at an earlier part of the trip a row of about sevenish purple hebrew script appeared right in front of my field of view. They were crystal clear and began very rapidly arranging themselves in different order, some being taken out and replaced. I didn't consciously understand it. I don't speak Hebrew. I don't have Jewish relatives. I didn't grow up around synagogues. But, that sounds like a communication to me.

I want to be careful not to pollute the experience with what I have learned since then, but considering that it was a male that shared physical characteristics to me I would describe it as a divine representation of myself. An impossibly evolved and divine representation of myself. The word higherself makes sense to me. Though i'm sure it would mean different things to different people. Also This being was standing really really close to me. Like about a foot away.

@Callum A Also yes I am extremely happy to read your account, and to be here with you.

Same, no words were exchanged. It was pure, all being piercing feeling. And it gave me an understanding that the foundation of reality is goodness . Though it has been a long hard, road to integrate this knowing in this struggling world. My best ally has been Channelhigherself.com check it out if you haven't seen it yet.

@Callum A." I took nndmt without having any prior knowledge of it. I had no experience with eastern spirituality or meditation. I was an atheist at the time though I was raised catholic. When I took the dmt, I went though all the normal stages of dmt and was completely convinced that I had died and was on the other side. I was freaking the fuck out. There were a lot of amazing visuals. But I kept trying to think of my home and my family and my familiar settings. Through force of will I brought myself back in to normal earth world for a few moments, and was panicking "holy shit!" "holy shit, I'm dying!" . Someone I was with said "it's ok". In that moment I intuited that I had no where else to go, but to go within. So in that moment I directed my mind to go within my self. In that moment I was transported to a realm made of white light. There was a being that was radiating light standing right in front of me with a rainbow aura looking down on me and smiling and I was instantly filled with the most overwhelming amounts of love, compassion, warmth, comfort, safety, bliss, and peace. All fear and discomfort was completely and utterly dissolved in this experience. It was incredibly crystal clear and realistic."

@Callum A did you see my post about nndmt in another thread?

This is not coming from any school of thought or theory, but this is my experience. I took nndmt without having any prior knowledge of it. I had no experience with eastern spirituality or meditation. I was an atheist at the time though I was raised catholic. When I took the dmt, I went though all the normal stages of dmt and was completely convinced that I had died and was on the other side.

All fear and discomfort was completely and utterly dissolved in this experience. It was incredibly crystal clear and realistic. I don't know how it would apply to lsd, but I could posit the not dogma guidance of directing your mind to go within yourself.

@Peace and Love OK good good, I just had this outpouring of empathy when I read your story, because I know how helpful and nice you have been to me on this forum.

@Peace and Love dear god peace and love, I just want to give you a hug.

@Dodosterits the old balance of challenging yourself and being good to yourself.

one simple tip that has been great for me lately has been using ear plugs. Ambient background noises annoy me more than I realized and using ear plugs takes off a surprising amount of stress.@ansimuz

There is no denying that the hours upon hours that we have spent seeing Leo's face and hearing his voice has given us a sense of familiarity with him. We are smart enough to recognize that he his smart. Smart recognizes smart. Do you perceive Leo to be better than you? Also Leo has done enormous good for most of us, so we appreciate it.

It is an extremely short read. Basically one man's account of how this practice saved him from crippling sadness and then made life seem magical and amazing. The thing is, is that it actually works. Don't be overly skeptical and throw it out. I think the ideal is to keep it up for six plus months to see life long results. In my experience it wore off kind of quickly, but I can't overstate how positive the results were. The book is not needed, though it is supportive.
