Take a look for yourself. Thats for you to become conscious of, not for someone else to tell you. No answer given here will be what a thing is.

Well yes, anything you are not directly perceiving is being imagined. Thyroid, eyes and ears are imagined. Reminds me of the 'On Having No Head' image.

Theres kinda no way around just forcing yourself to do it. I started out really indirectly and just built up from there. But ultimately there comes a point where you just need to approach a girl in a direct way and start a conversation. Just be willing to feel awkward and nervous. Every guy feels the same way. It's totally normal and ok. You'll find the barrier of approach anxiety is actually extremely thin. I'm always shocked at how quickly I get over approach anxiety. Turns out the approach is the easiest part. The real challenge comes with having a quality conversation.

@Gabith The gaze of a conscious woman is hypnotising.

Yea its very hard to quantify my results to be honest. But I like doing these kind of self-experiments and I don't feel it has negatively impacted my health in any way. Only thing it impacted was my bank balance. Worth the money to get the amalgams removed by a private specialist dentist as well.

I haven't done any psychedelics since starting the detox. I am already quite sensitive to psychedelics after my 5-MeO awakenings last year but it will be interesting to see if anything is different. Interesting. What was the highest dosage you ended up doing? Yes, exactly. As you say it's hard to remember how you felt a year ago. Same thing for spiritual work. Hard to comprehend where I was 4,5 years ago.

I've actually heard a lot of great things about Barcelona, both for day game purposes and just generally. So i'll definitely be going, just unlikely to move there right now. I've been on a bunch of dates with Spanish girls. I feel like they're much more forward and know exactly what they want. Two of them asked me out! Love Spanish girls! In all fairness i've never been so I don't know. But definitely sounds like theres potential. Yes I know exactly what you mean about doing day-game in the rain. Theres still a shit ton of guys doing day-game/night game in London.

Whats the best strategy for being more serious about day-game if you don't live in a big city? I moved out of London a few months ago because I couldn't afford to live there. I attended a day-game bootcamp around this time last year whilst I was there. Literally one of the best things I ever did. But didn't keep it up so now i'm out of practise and out of London. I've got a nice foundation though so I know I can pick it up again. The town I live in now is dead (but cheap), there are literally no girls (late twenties) here. I've just got to get this shit sorted. Something has to change. So whats the best solution here? Some possible options: 1) Move back to London for 6-12 months. Would either have to solo rent a place on the outskirts (£800-£1000 p/month rent) or rent a room in a house share (£600-£800 p/month). 2) Rent a fairly central London Airbnb for a few months (£1000 p/month) and go as hard as I can in that time. 3) Get the train (70 minute journey) down to London (£40/$55 return ticket) either every weekend or every other weekend. Spend Saturday/Sunday doing day-game. Downside is that I can't then go on mid-week dates. Girls obviously aren't going to travel out of London. 4) Do day-game in a closer city called Nottingham. Can drive there in 35 minutes. Great city but quality and quantity of girls doesn't compete with London. 5) Move abroad to a different European city where rent is cheaper. I work from home so this is a possibility but definitely a last resort. 6) A different strategy I haven't thought of. I'd appreciate your advice @Leo Gura and @aurum, and anyone else ofc.

@Leo Gura @aurum Yea all makes sense, thanks for the feedback. It's just not going to be feasible whilst living in this small town away from the city. Looks like i'm heading back to London! @Flint Weird you say that because i'm actually planning a trip to Lisbon early next year and considered moving there for a few months in the summer. But I doubt it compares to London for day-game.

Locking this for low quality and time wasting.

I've only done 2 mushroom trips so I don't have too much to say. But mushrooms feel more stable and 'smoother' than LSD. I go through a 'insane period' on LSD every time. Starts around an hour in and lasts for 3-4 hours. Then suddenly within a second or two everything sort of reverts back to normal. Don't get this on mushrooms.

Going to be different for each person. But speaking from experience they don't really compare. My LSD trips were long descends into complete madness and insanity mixed in with a near total ego death. Theres a distinct lack of clarity and generally unproductive sessions. I have strange, weird distracting thoughts and images and easily get lost in thought loops. And the trips are just so fucking long as well. Compare to high dose 5-MeO, which I don't consider to be a conventional psychedelic because it simply doesn't compare to a casual mushroom trip. Its a whole completely different thing. Its not psychedelic. The idea of a psychedelic 'causing' this 'experience' is ridiculous. There is near perfect clarity, like perfect crystal clear water with a subtle multicoloured shimmer of fractal light around the edges fading of into infinity. There is no muddiness to the experience, except for some nausea in the come up. No extra 'stuff'. No visual hallucinations or thought loops or strange thinking patterns. Its just completely 100% pure Enlightenment. No bullshit. You're just THERE. BANG! Actual Infinity looking at itself. Actual Eternity existing forever. Actual God and nothing but that. And 5-MeO has a very profound embodiment component/capability that I don't see any other psychedelic having. The substance is equally 'body' as it is 'cerebral', at least for me. It can definitely have a permanent affect on ones consciousness and has the ability to release deep contractions and tensions in the body. Its deeply healing. Its like the perfect package. And it lasts for an hour and then you're back to a normal state of consciousness and you can go about your day.

Potentially, but it didn't feel like sleep deprivation. I've never felt tired because of needing to wake up in the night.

yes

Seems like such a different experience when vaped vs plugged. One of the main differences i've noticed in these types of videos is the lack of bi-lateral symmetrical movements, which I get every time with plugging. It's a clear indication of a complete lack of ego. Not saying that this is essential or necessary for god-realisation or anything, just noticing interesting differences. @Thought Art Very interesting! Was that first dose though? Or after a series of larger doses?

@Jordan Start with a very small dose, probably 5-10mg. You shouldn't really feel too much with this level of dose but it's important to take it slowly and methodically. Slowly add a bit more each time you trip. This way you can gauge your level of sensitivity and get used to the feel of the substance.

He's one of those guys which are hard to assign to the spiral. He's in Orange, Green and a bit of yellow too. I've actually been watching quite a bit of his videos recently. He's such an incredibly powerful speaker. I don't know many other people that can speak like he does. He tends to waffle and talk a lot but there's definitely a lot of wisdom and solid life experience behind what he talks about. Imagine if he had a deeper understanding/realisation of awakening, instead of going on and on about Tolle.

@Javfly33 Yea I never quite understood those reactions either. I suspect its because that is often their first time doing it and they start off with a high dose. I slowly worked my way up with dosage and so was basically completely silent and still at the very high doses. But if someone off the street were to do a high dose without doing it before, I imagine they'd go berserk.

@FlyingLotus Wow, amazing work. Thanks a bunch

@-Rowan Yea I wouldn't over think this. Pick something that you can work with for a while. It doesn't have to be some final thing. This can change moving forward. It will change. Most important thing you need to be doing right now is taking action to build the necessary skills.

Good opportunity to share one of Kip's videos. Has to be one of the most conscious people on the platform:

@blessedlion1993 Yea its super impressive and inspiring tbh.

@khalifa Tricky to answer this because it's such uncharted territory. If they're not as common as they used to be then its possible they will eventually completely subside. I know that people who have kundalini related energy symptoms report it subsiding after a while, but its gonna be different for everyone. I definitely had a lot of energy in the body for a long time after my last session in mid 2020. I would constantly feel like I needed to shake the body, like release tension almost. It's gone now. This is just speculating and guessing but i'd say it isn't a neurological issue but just energy trapped in the body. This is quite common for people engaging in spiritual work.

@Leo Gura How did your interview with Curt Jaimungal go?

I went to a Goenka vipassana retreat here in the UK 18 months ago and spent 60% of the time doing something like the Do Nothing technique, the other 30% doing fast labelling. I didn't do the body scanning at all. Just don't tell the managers or teachers because they'll probably throw you out.
