Lower doses of DMT are excellent to start with. Being in nature and with people that you are close with can be great too.

I've had a dream experience wherein I saw specific ET information that was a week later presented in a Bashar talk, he's legit. Too bad the channel is an old capitalistic retard though.

Happening at full force. Awake(ning) people are very impactful, the internet is like a tsunami for destroying all sorts of cultural shit ideas and is spreading truth about mindfulness, spirituality, psychedelics, wisdom. Also, at some point we'll have ET disclosure that will also blow a hole in people's minds and complete change our cultural view in many ways (www.bestufoevidence.weebly.com) We in good times!

Yes of course, mindfully observe the body-mind with the knowing mind that what you observe cannot be you.

Putting on a guided meditation or sound may be helpful not to fall asleep, or maybe coffee. It requires rather strong commitment for many I think, because it's so tempting to go: 'ehh fuck this world, peace out'. Also you might want to be doing a more active kind of meditation, Shinzen Young suggests 'noting practice' for when you are easily spacing out.

Can you think of a better definition? Is there anything else to do or be than embody or self realize? Who cares how long it takes, this isn't something you do to put on your resume and then quit.

In my view enlightenment also includes complete purification, being the embodiment of truth/unconditional love. So I can't say whether that's harder but I think it comes before absolute awakening(/enlightenment) as absolute awakening completely opens one up according to some teachers I trust. By the way, according to Shinzen Young, you can develop a taste for purification, allowing it to happen exponentially:

I think emotions need to be treated as the realest thing ever, and perhaps they are the most real in the relative world, they are certainly the most enjoyable, even sadness is beautiful if it isn't suppressed. The stuck suppressed emotions are what has birthed the negative ego and I belief all the suffering in life. The mind through the negative ego is already used to suppressing them (through the energy of denial: creating the masks; arrogant or shy), because it was told to not express them, but you ARE an emotional being, so you had to pretend you weren't by acting like the surrounding egos. So be aware that that fear isn't using the spiritual ego card on you, 'I am beyond it, I am this feeling of consciousness, not my body/emotions', even Ramana said that self-inquiry is about feeling the sense of yourself.

I think you'd be surprised at how human enlightened beings actually are. So no, they are not unpredictable when it comes to harming others, just as sane people are not unpredictable when it comes to harming themselves or others, they act in accordance to natural law/empathy. Buddha may have tortured himself.. himself. On the road towards enlightenment.. towards.

Suffering = Discomfort x Resistance Purification = Discomfort x Equanimity Frustration = Pleasure x Resistance Fulfillment = Pleasure x Equanimity Brilliant Shinzen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u9nuSf9g1g

You would never want to violate someone's will. The idea that empathy plays no role in awakening is a big misunderstanding. Empathy is conscious love, extended to another, often for us because of the unconscious sensing you are actually intimately connected with them, masters do not just know this unconsciously but consciously. Just as no rational human (one that isn't deeply emotionally confused/traumatized) starts paining or damaging it's own body without a cause, means they wouldn't hurt you, as you are part of their body. Just as a sane mother cares for her children they care for you. . I think you only have a hard time accepting this if you can't feel Gods love for you. Which is confusing, right? Because why wouldn't it be given to you? But it is given to you, but you are blocking it through your (unconscious) defense systems/the identity you've build up, and it takes a lot of honesty and humility to learn and accept that. And it's seems safer to deny that for the negative ego, that it's justified you are in pain because life may be 'evil', causing you to look for strange reasons to fear God, 'because rapists exists', or worse and more delusional 'masters rape'. Stop thinking and start feeling, a lot, and you'll find out all your paranoid thoughts stem from emotional blocks in the bodies.

No, not because we're bored. You are bored and desperate for truth, and that's understandable, that's God calling you. You can talk and think about this stuff all day: why, and how, but no answer will satisfy you. You need to learn to feel again, purge the conditioning that's suppressing your child like bliss.

Follow the heart. But as you continue in your practice, you will see that 'shaking them awake' is actually still meaning you trying to shake yourself awake, and when you awaken more and more, people will effortlessly fall in love with you and you will do a great job at teaching by example.

That doesn't make any sense, stop making things over complicated. Peace is peace. Zero is nothing, you can't experience nothing or if you did, you would have an ego death, so that's not frustration.

Doesn't work for me

On the vaping/smoking question. Martin says HCL can be smoked, freebase can be smoked but works even better when vaped, toad venom works either ways. - Martin Ball on that trip: 'total life-shattering freak outs do happen. The woman who wrote that actually reached out to me the day after and shared a video of her experience with me, and eventually came up and visited me to talk more about it and how best to move through her difficulty. So yeah, it happens. 5 is far bigger than anyone can possibly imagine, and it’s an experience that should not be entered into lightly or casually. Even highly positive experiences can shatter someone’s life and identity. These are good things, but not necessarily easy for people to deal with and embrace. Everyone says they want to be free, but at heart, most are actually scared shitless when confronted by the reality of what that truly means. Most, however, have highly positive and productive experiences. it all comes down to TRUST ' - I also messaged her yesterday on reddit and she says she is doing much better and is back to using psychedelics. I asked her how she looks back on her trip, awaiting response. She also said she wasn't ready at the time (in her old comments), confirming the idea that a truly certain readiness is required for the personal mind to let go, as she also said she did experience nirvana when surrender happened, even though she felt like the couldn't surrender before, this must be because of the X years of conditioning to the survival based human reality even though she forgot she was human at the start, creating the experience of seeming outside hell.

No it's not silly. Universal love, empathy and an experience/understanding of oneness is universal among developed (self-)aware beings, in fact, even a good amount of animals tend to use empathy. If a human is not doing so to the degree it doesn't treat others as it would know it itself would like to be treated, it's severely undeveloped or emotionally confused, and certainly not enlightened.

You say 'no reason at all' yet then you name 'shits and giggles', or 'seeing what it's like'. You are partly dodging the question with 'shits and giggles', too unspecific. I used 'hitting yourself in the head with a hammer' in the context of rape and murder, so hitting yourself on the head violently, what cause would there be for that? 'Just to see what it's like?' Why? Be specific, what are they looking for? Pain? The experience of a damaged body? Why would they be doing that? Have you ever seen someone doing this who wasn't severely emotionally damaged and thus psychologically confused?

What cause would you have to make such a thing possible, to rape and murder (except murder for self-defense)? What reason would make it possible for you to hit yourself on the head with a hammer and for what purpose?

I'd doubt their enlightened, in fact, I'm quite sure it's impossible. Just as truly enlightened beings do not just start acting nonsensical, like hitting themselves on the head with a hammer repeatedly, because it fucking hurts, as they still prefer pleasure over pain. The enlightened knows himself to be others, just as it wouldn't hurt it self, it doesn't hurt the other. - As for your dubious claims, what sources are you basing them on?

The fact that you are highly offended by my accusation shows ur not being totally cool with your own actions either, because if someone says something untrue to you, like: 'you having terribly ugly legs', whereas you are actually a legless paraplegic, you wouldn't be offended at all. And now again you say 'She has developed PTSD causing her to need extensive therapy' whereas we only have is her saying: 'I ended up going up to Vancouver to do some MDMA-assisted PTSD therapy, and that helped a lot.', that doesn't sound like 'extensive' therapy to me.

No that is not all. You're being very disingenuous and completely irresponsible here. You conveniently left out the part where her experience goes into the light. Don't try to confuse or scare people on matters like these. What a fucking stupid thing to do. The good part after that..: Her full story https://www.reddit.com/r/Psychonaut/duplicates/3cozaz/my_5meodmt_experience_with_video/ Also, a (such a) negative experience is really uncommon, she definitely also likes to dramatize things.

Marketing can in some cases be positive inspiring thing. But no, beggars can also have a great value to society, it just on where they come from, what state of consciousness.
