Psychedelics can rewire the pathways and connections to make you more open and more aligned with your true self (if you may) but you have to do the work to actually improve on a permanent level. They are more like a reset button. Turmeric (Curcumin), CBD, Urine Therapy, Fasting and some other Medicinal Mushrooms/Herbs have Neurogenesis qualities as well.

Effective daily Meditation will help dissolve those ego-traits or other activities that bring love, passion, excitement into your life or other arts or activities that allow you to flow more the present moment and less with the thoughts. The more you do these things the more you become who you truly are, the less thoughts manipulate, shape and control your reality. Psychedelic can help too but if you are aware that you are angry and confused that in itself is already an indication for change. The start is always challenging, its always going to start out with effort to become effortless.

Indeed Markus

Did you only read the last 2 words? That is also the Paradox.

The Awareness

The outer dots are the ego/mind/selves/characters you experience in day to day life that constantly change/shift/focus. The moment you remember how to LET GO and STEP BACK in the Center Circle-Center of Self/True Self you embody and see ALL AS ONE. Not particularly attached or focused on any, yet Aware of all at the same time. This is the Enlightened State. This is Pure Awareness. You must remember how to let go and step back to the centerness of being

Your belief systems make it difficult, the substances simply help you let go and become aware of the awareness behind the thoughts/mind/ego/illusions ect.. They won't get you enlightened but they will show/teach you that you already are. You just have to do the work because if you knew all the answers and understood everything you wouldn't be here where you are now to begin with. You cannot learn/grow from always being in the light, your goal is to transcend the darkness into the light.

Being Present when you truly be present is the most amazing and natural experience you could ever experience. I do not believe you have tapped into true presence because when you do its a glimpse of absolute freedom in that moment and you will know it to be the most natural state of your being. Even a second of absolute presence is enough to shift your life completely to a whole new direction. You have to step back(so to speak) in awareness to experience this to its truth(if you will).

When you truly let go and come back to true self you realize you are always enlightened and in that state, always in pure joy and inner-peace but you were holding onto the ego/mind and choosing to hold on to a particular idea/perspective/view which prevents you for seeing what is, as it is. In other words you were holding onto particular channel the mind creates which interferes with the whole perspective of your inner-peace. Once you completely surrender you realize you were always enjoying yourself when you look back now through "a greater perspective" but you chose not to because you forget how to let go as you become so integrated in the mind and its illusions. Its like a TV you are constantly changing channels in search for a dopamine release but once you truly let go the TV turns completely off and you have the infinite release Realizing you are always eternally operating in this NOW but choosing otherwise.

These are what the ancients and wise ones call The Teacher Plants. You are meant to learn from the "High" as you gain the realizations and apply them to day to day life so you can replicate the "high" naturally. Yes it is possible or the experience wouldn't work at all if it wasn't possible within to begin with. You realize under psychedelics this is the more natural state and you always wonder how do i forget this and you notice how integrated with the mind/ego you are. Well the truth is, Unless you are vibrating at that frequency naturally it is impossible to remember the state so you must apply what you learned during the experience then gradually and eventually you will be there naturally and sooner or later the high will be less and less amazing as it becomes more and more natural to you on a day to day basis thus eventually you won't need it anymore. Of course it doesn't have to be exactly like the first/best experience because you are constantly changing/growing, like an awakening everything is so amazing at first but eventually you become used to it and it becomes natural to you until the next way and it continues on and on until infinity. Go with the flow, Trust the process.

In most cases this image explains most of these questions. In a Nutshell

Let it be thus shall it become.

That one that you are most drawn to

If you want to turn into a zombie go for it. If you want to remain human stay away. Adjust diet/lifestyle choices and look into natural herbs for your conditions.

Nutmeg can be psychedelic yes, many herbs can but nutmeg is one of the stronger ones you just have to really educate yourself beforehand so you can efficiently create and apply the process. It will not be close to DMT but it can be closer to other psychedelics like mescaline-mdma-2cb like. Here are some links i saved on nutmeg and similar natural ways to create a psychedelic experience. Ultimately all psychedelic chemicals come from oils from herbs. If you master the alchemy you will never spend another dime I once created a psychedelic-like experience with mega-doses of ceremonial cacao hot chocolate paired with powerful herbs like nutmeg and a few others in combination created a very good experience. https://www.dmt-nexus.me/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=14275 https://drugs-forum.com/threads/i-am-a-regular-user-of-nutmeg.152954/ https://www.dmt-nexus.me/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=47066 https://drugs-forum.com/threads/oilahuasca-the-new-psychedelic-frontier.156755/ https://www.dmt-nexus.me/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=25430

@Solace Bless for your lovingly kind words as always ??

Humans never needed to eat to begin with The problem is they have been conditioned to think they are on the same level of consciousness-vibratory-frequency as animals. Thus most humans still think they are animals(just a more evolved form) when the truth is we are a completely different species on our own. This is why eating less feels better once all the toxins are removed. The less i consume the more infinite i feel. The last 10 thousand years most of us have been living and thinking as animals as we become what we consume on all levels, finally we are starting to become Human again..

You may enjoy reading this. http://creationislove.com/humans-are-frugivores-were-designed-to-eat-mostly-fruit/ Fruit today isn't as nutritious as it used to be but its not really that hard to supplement with nuts/seeds and some super/micro-greens/algae for extra minerals. It also depends on your spiritual development and understanding, some people thrive on less as they are spiritual tuned, some are more tuned into physically thus need more mineral richness for energy/function. @Etagnwo How leaves fall from the tree to decompose into humus and return key minerals back to the soil which provides optimum information/nourishment for the tree is similar to urine and humans. In Ancient times when human needed healing he was suggested by elders to drink his/her own water. This is the most natural substance for one self as it comes from the natural infinite intelligence of creation/perfection. We are made perfect, its man who is blind and complicates things. Study Urine Therapy and the laws of nature.

Ultimately

All answers reside within present moment awareness. If you are not being present and trusting the process of your highest passion/highest excitement you are only creating illusory experiences, distractions and obstacles for self to find freedom. Ultimately there are no right or wrongs but once you find freedom/enlightenment it won't matter where, when, how, what, who you are you will be free in every way shape/form so these questions will not bother you at all as they do now. With an Enlightened Awareness everything falls into place naturally. Know thyself, Be thyself. There is no need to complicate it further. If you don't trust infinite intelligence to play itself out, you cannot embody its natural flow. Just Be yourself and follow your heart, everything outside of ourselves is a test we created for ourselves.

This may help too. When the spine is in alignment everything heals and aligns back to balance

I remember reading somewhere that our audio channels shutoff when we go into sleep/dreams thus can only benefit from the vibrations not the words themselves. I experience this sometimes when i wake up multiple times a night while listening to music, soon as i go back into the dream the music/sounds completely disappear and reappear as i come back to a more wakeful state.
