@Identity Good luck The BF in high school I was talking about...I had broke up with him twice before the time that it stuck for good. The other two times I just couldn't deal with the pain at thoughs times, so I caved and got back with him. The last time though I knew it was really over and I didn't want the relationship anymore, no matter how much it would hurt and yes, it still hurt.

Lol! What are you talking about? I've done weed many times in my life and I gave my "personal" experience of it. I wasn't suggesting anyone do it or not to do it, because frankly I don't care.

I think you're joking, but in case you aren't- @Annoynymous asked the question, he apparently wanted honest answers.

@Serotoninluv ❤

Awe, sorry you are going through this. Yes, it sucks! ❤ I was with my high school boyfriend for 2 1/2 years, then he just started being controlling and basically an asshole, but still breaking up with him was still painful. Two days later he was walking down the school hall with another girl that instantly became his GF. Yeah, he was talking to her behind my back and a few other girls I found out! Anyways, 3 weeks later I met my current husband that I've now been with for 32 years. So, sometimes break-ups are just meant to happen.

I found this interesting and since I've already had Self-realization/ awakening without drugs he seems to be saying they could actually be a hindrance at advanced levels of this work.

I haven't smoked weed in 16 years, but yeah, I've done it. I wasn't really impressed and didn't like it much. Mostly would do it because of sheer peer pressure, lol. Anyways, makes you laugh, maybe get paranoid, eat everything in sight, then sleep. Whoopie!

To be clear, I never said ppl with serious mental illnesses can't go off the meds. I said they shouldn't. Big difference. There are plenty of ppl running around off their meds. Some can make a half way decent life for themselves (if disorder is mild), while others are in and out of psych hospitals like a revolving door, attempt suicide or they are hooked on some substance, usually alcohol, to self medicate. The ones that seem to do the best with symptom reduction are compliant with medication and regular follow-up appts with a mental health professional. Along with healthy diet, exercise, etc.

I didn't need LSD or psychedelics. After a year of Self-inquiry, reading, etc in 2010 I realized my true nature experentially. What that is like on LSD verses it just hitting you over the head, naturally, during Self inquiry. I don't know.

I see, yes, that's your belief.

Well, ppl with serious mental illness shouldn't be going off their meds, ever, because they are life long illnesses. I'm not talking about the ppl depressed because they lost their job or are losing their hair, nope. I'm talking about Bipolar and schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, psychotic disorder, etc. Anyways, self inquiry can get you realization of your true nature. You don't need LSD. I don't even know if LSD gets you Self-realization or just some fancy mystical experience.

...and what about ppl on medications that fill their serotonin receptors already or ppl with mental illness or history of severe psychosis? Who said anything about not being ready? Its not about that.

I have multiple sclerosis and epilepsy...and that's not my full medical history, but its enough to say, it's probably not a good idea. @Preety_India❤

Waste my life? So, the 49 yrs I've spent already have been a waste, because I haven't used psychedelics?

So, you think everyone regardless of medical conditions should take psychedelics?

There are medical reasons. Not everyone should be trying them.

It's personal.

There it is folks!❤ The end.

Lol!

Right!??

Well, I was being optimistic, for no reason really, because I've never even done them and probably won't.

I'm not playing games, I'm disagreeing with the terminology, that's all. You're saying Atman, but maybe you mean "subtle-body" (aka the soul), because Atman is identical to Brahman, which is pure awareness/consciousness. The meaning of Atman is just to indicate the portion of Brahman/awareness within/permeating the body/mind apparent person. It is not a subtle energetic object of consciousness. Where as the subtle-body is the energetic body, comprised of the vital breath, senses, mind, intellect. It's what separates at death from the gross body and would be considered a subtle energetic object of consciousness Anyways, your probably not interested and I'm probably rambling and splitting hairs. Have a good night all.?

Your welcome. Yes, not separate, they are one, but not the same.? One is a reflection of the other. You too!

Well, most women want penetration at some point during the sex act, even if they've already orgasmed from oral sex.
