@Razard86 Make a tea, drink only liquid, throw out the rest of the mushroom without eating it. You get a bit less potency but don't eat the mushroom body. I personally find it pointless, cubensis seems in taste like a normal edible mushroom, it's not that terrible.

Can we stop playing this "I am now so Enlightened, wow" game? How many identical threads with people behaving in the same way do we need? Same old story. People grabbing for attention, this one I would say even unsuccessful compared to previous posters like this.

@UnbornTao What exactly? You have quoted nothing. I am a fervent zealot of Nothing. But on a serious note. No. Asking questions is a rhetorical device. I need no help in sorting my worldview, all good in here, thank you.

You mean a day before session, and then going there to integrate the experience? Then I think it's okay. Anything else I would consider stupid.

I don't feel like Turquoise is an appropiate label to use in regards to gurus and mystics of the past. It's hard to tell what this label really means even today, are people with characteristics ascribed to Turquoise even really there and is it really a next step, or maybe a different path. I think Leo did a kind of disservice to the community by teaching using Spiral Dynamics as a practical tool without warning enough that it is based in weak science and that it needs a lot more of scientific work to say anything sure about it. Did they? What about wedic soma drink and hashish? And did they really achieve high consciousness in more reliable manner than what we have today? Because what we have today without drugs is not good. A few Enlightened individuals and even less Enlightened teachers with millions of seekers and students left in the dark. I suspect it has been similar back in the day. The techniques for raising consciousness all work a little bit, but mostly suck, because they require waaay too much work.

Isn't taking drugs a thing humans do? It's important in almost every culture.

You mean Snapchat scammers? Snapchat dealers do not exist, and if they do, they are an utter idiot who you shouldn't interact with, because it might be contagious.

There are trusted darknet markets with trusted sellers with years of transaction history that can't be faked. Dreaddit is a dark net version of Reddit and I recommend using it instead. But only for looking for knowledge, opinions and reviews, not engaging directly with scummy people.

Will work, but you have to use it up fast, or it will degrade in that solution. Impractical unless you want to trip a lot in a quite a short time frame, you would have a few days until it losses potency. Vape liquid with freebase in low concentration is more practical and lasts longer on a shelf.

@Raptorsin7 reading your posts is insufferable, you've made me remember there is an option to ignore users. For anyone one who doesn't know about this option, here it is:

100%, if by wisdom you mean ability to see his childish behaviour as childish cosplaying of a wise man and by capable being able to use your talents in skillful ways to achieve your goals. And also, it's an unecessary comparison.

@Raptorsin7 yes, TJ Reeves was an idiot and 1upper from the day one. The guy was boasting about how many upvotes he got on his posts, and doing some weird calculations to prove that he gets more upvotes per post than Leo. That's not wise, it's cringe and chilidish. The only thing is he was not judging people with more money or girls as better, but people who in his opinion were more of a Super-Saiyan Stage UberCoral Peaceful Warrior. It's the same game though. The same game children play by competing who will get the highest level in an mmorpg or get the highest kda in a shooter.

@8gates If you are obsessing over him, then yeah, I am talking about him too.

@8gates Andrew Tate has a big black hole between his ears. But... 19 year olds are not known for their brains either, so maybe they make a good match, huh.

@8gates Go on a walk through a forest, it will be good for you. Much better than fantasizing about fantasies of some bald guy on the internet.

My brain is rotting even thinking about that this topic ends up on these forums. It's reminiscent of a "discussion" with my friend that Logan Paul is some kind of genius for being so popular and scamming so much people. I have to disagree, any idiot can run these scams. It's just that if you would try it you would get sick at the thought of what meaningless shit you are doing with your life and they don't have that reaction. It's depressing to be a scammer. Entertaining Jordan Peterson as a serious intelectual on these forums was on the verge of stupid. This discussion is wayyy beyond stupid.

@Dark_White if you like reading books then go read Hanzi Freinacht's "The Nordic Ideology" or Frederic Laloux "Reinventing Organizations", they show "stage Yellow thinking" in practice. Maybe seeing the fruit of changing your thinking will encourage you to do it yourself. Both these books have audiobooks.

@The Mystical Man the Great Courses are better, but many courses suck. Socialism vs Capitalism one was so bad it was funny.

STEM fields ain't even a science, it's a very long school till getting a PhD. And even past PhD in some fields. Just to catch up and understand the current paradigm, because it has gotten so big. So yeah, it's way easier to find bad scientists in soft sciences because many people there are actual scientists, people who craft there own theories and methodologies. There's a multitude of conflicting paradigms still because most soft sciences are new inventions. So STEM might seem more grounded because most students in those fields consume textbooks till very late.

@BuddhistLover the engineers don't have time to think about these problems. They are chained to the capitalist system and work for its benefits.

I wouldn't care much about occasional use of PG 5-MeO-DMT vape. Just don't add any flavors and you should be good. Won't be worse on your lungs than sitting in front of the firepit or soldering a few cables.

Beware of ungrounded new agey optimism also. @Leo Gura You have made an episode years ago about setting proper expectations. It's a concept that I have really liked and I think it applies here. One should be ready for less energy-rich future when planning one's life purpose. Predictions like those made by Nate's guests help to uncover areas that will probably cause a lot of suffering to various living beings in the future, so one can train skills relevant to those areas beforehand. The earlier, the better, look at Schamchtenberger, in this episode he says he started his development in this direction as a kid/teenager and look who he has become.

@LSD-Rumi The world changes though, these numbers might be close to truth nowadays.

Yeah, LSD is something else in regards to persistent after-effects. I also had the effect of beer not only not appealing to me but also seeming to taste gross, after lysergamides. It also changes your perception for a few days. Can increase libido for a few days. A lot of things. Touch feels softer. Using a lot of LSD might make one think that body's chemistry changes from psychedelics are more important than contents of the experience. You don't need to think about abstaining from alcohol on a trip to become sober afterwards.

I don't feel it. It made my heart race a little bit a few first time I have eaten it. An unpleasant physical sympotom. But anything to do with libido? Not really.
