Yes it can be tough sometimes, it means that you care.

Therapy might help, at least with some of the intimacy needs (without the physical of course lol). Having more awakenings and/or healing with psychedelics. Being part of a community (like this one).

Oh wowww those are amazing work. Love the colors. ??

No I haven't actually! But I am into gender nonconformity/fluidity so folks like Yasu (Japanese singer/composer) and RuPaul I find very inspiring .

Ahaha I guess it all depends on the girl/the connection/what's the mood. To me that seems hot and adventurous and something desirable to experience. If a guy I'm into led me to that I'd find that hot/super sexy but I'm pretty weird.

Gawd you're such a nerd. Not really true in my experience, most attractive/masculine men are in strict monogamous relationships and do not branch out from this. So if you're attractive and available you stand out a lot actually. Also very dependent on what kind of girl you're trying to attract.. if you want a sexual woman you should also be more sexual and not be afraid to express it.

Happy Birthday God, I mean @Leo Gura ヾ(^ ^ゞ

Oh wow that's fascinating! Well hopefully you can do it soon again..

@Loving Radiance Do you mean trauma that was there or trauma from tripping?

I'm still a bit new to this so I am wondering what y'all found to be the "optimal" frequency for going on mushroom trips. I was reading that somewhere around 1-2 weeks of "abstinence" to avoid building tolerance and having to increase the dosage. Is this estimation true in your experience? I am asking because ideally I would like to go on trips more frequently. What about other potential side effects that should be considered with how frequent one can trip? Does there seem to be a lot of individual variations on this? Thanks in advance for sharing :).

Masturbation can be a highly spiritual experience. @Thought Art knows what he's talking about.

Have you seen AJ and the Queen? I don't watch TV usually but that show was love ?.

Why yes... we are aliens passing through Earth to spread the seeds of awakening .

@Loving Radiance That all makes sense thank you. Seems like the main things to watch for are integration and mental stability. I guess I was curious if there were other health effects besides what it can do "mentally".

That escalated quickly.. ?

Ahaaha, ???. It's a potential for all of us!

I personally feel like the more "enlightened" you are the less fuck you give about how you come off to others. ?

Probably, and coz we can keep going ?... hard to measure this I suppose.

? Yeah for now there's not too much else... more people being aware of the situation is what can spur political actions. Recognition that "band-aid" solutions just aren't very smart in the long run. Depression/mental health problems can lead to lots of physical health problems, it would make much more sense to catch those before it manifests into the "physical". There could be more fast-tracked training programs to become a mental health professional as well. I know personally if this was an option I probably would've gone for it years ago. But the selection process (just like doctors) and lengthy schooling keeps lots of talented people out the door and costs high.

Yes I agree this is a thing.. it makes things like depression alot harder to heal/move on from. It is selfishness (and by extension the sense of seperation) that keeps us from automatically lifting each other up when we see someone down. It's also discriminatory to the poor as they cannot afford mental health treatment/therapy, often this is how generational trauma is perpetuated. People also lack the skill to effectively help another.

@Gesundheit2 Calling what is divinity “entertainment” is just not very fitting by definition . Also music can be divine as fuck.

I guess he could be more "asexual" leaning?

Yeah that's a good point. It's a bit hard on this forum (a public site) to control that, I think he did basically discourage people to come here if they don't want to go further than the buddhist/Advaita teachings. I don't know what else could be done to deter people who aren't ready to go all the way.

I think it all becomes a "play" after a certain point.
