Maybe in the US and A, because in Europe they are doing blanket bans that only a few gimmicky substances pass. For example in Poland, which was the king of RC scene 10 years ago, with professional labs located here, etc., now the only legal psychedelics are 4-PrO-DMT, 5-Cl-DMT and 5-Br-DMT. That's all. Germany, UK, scandinavian countries, the Netherlands even (although there's some public resistance), all going the same path more or less, I think.

Ahh, that makes sense. I am only 23 yo and have already experienced this a few times when taking up new hobbies. For example, I have prefered to stick to graphic design and internet marketing instead of learning CAD and electrical engineering, because the first one is proven for me to make money and the two jobs are actually similar in a meta sense, that is sitting in front of a PC and tinkering with schemes. The difference is I feel engineering offers some value while IM is dreadful, hah, but feeling bad at the new software and not having knowledge has been even more dreadful. So, yeah, now I see it's a good advice. Personally, I think I should go straight at pursuing my passion, because I might fall in that trap again. Dunno about you, @ivankiss .

Why is this money so seducing? I mean it's nice to eat dinners at a restaurant, sleep in 4-5 star hotels on vacations and party all the way, buuut... It's all so shallow and empty in the end. How many places you have to visit and how many girls you have to fuck to finally get fed up? I think I would take a meaning in life over money any time, just like any other serious self-actualizer. Is the pull of vanity towards choosing the money really that strong and I am underestimating it, or is it a generic advice you repeat since your coaching days?

Stage Coral is mental masturbation, because it doesn't exist. One could argue that even stage Turquiose doesn't exist fully yet, because it doesn't have it's own sub-cultures, organizations, etc. There's plenty of conferences for stage Yellow thinkers, where are the Turquoise conferences? Edit: Ok, I have read the article linked in the first post. It's pure masturbation, doesn't belong in this sub-forum in my opinion, no hard feelings towards the author of that article, but it sucks.

Ask them bullshit like "What is your favorite Disney princess?" or some other shit if you are not getting any responses. If you are good-looking as you say you are, then toss out your profile description and put a simple question there, the girls themselves will start to message you first.

As little text as possible, toss in something funny, go for a meeting ASAP or change communication to Instagram, Messenger, etc., you can say that you want to show her something funny, but Tinder doesn't allow you to send images. You can send her some shitty meme or even nothing, just continue the conversation like nothing happened. Now you are on a different level of engagement, she will be way more responsive than on Tinder. Get used to the fact that 90% of your conversations won't pan out.

Yeah, when framed like that death is real, but what is this death that is real? It's a social construct. When you talk about mourning others, being sad someone died we are talking about social customs and not the actual death that is supposed to happen to you. Different things. Personally, I am never and never have been sad for the people close to me who died. I am sad, because I can't spend quality time with them anymore, and I am sad, because the survival will be harder for me or someone close, but I am not sad for the dead, what's the point of that? I neither wonder what have happened to them.

Because they disagreed with the content of this particular episode, arguing that what Leo describes is a misrepresentation of the stage Turquoise, Leo's own remix of ideas. Other videos are ok and accurately tell information about the original Spiral Dynamics model.

@Dodo You are the only one who can make sense of what you experience and on how well you do it depends the quality of your life. I have nothing else to say.

You want yourself to get delibaretely banned? This is an example of lack of skillfulness, of which I have been talking about earlier.

I have wanted to post some asterisk signs, but I have none, I am currently dying from AstraZeneca vaccine, hah. Cheers guys, keep up your good work.

I am not you. If I knew I am crazy I would be sceptical and seriously look for clues if my state is sober. Maybe it would not be possible and I would have acted immediately, whatever, I wouldn't get attached to my version of the story if people around were telling me a different version and I knew I am delusional. Is it possible for me to get crazy in the future and end up in a similar situation? Yes it is, for sure. The skillfulness lies in ability to accept that when it happens and act accordingly.

It's all about skillfulness in knowing when you can trust yourself. If reality time and time again tells you there was a rope when you were seeing snakes, you might conclude you are prone to delusion and act accordingly, be sceptical.

@JosephKnecht No you don't have to hold false identity seriously to be skillful in navigating social situations. @Dodo Yes, it was all true for you. That is what makes you crazy. You know the story of a snake that upon turining light on turned out to be a rope? That's your situation. Don't trust CONTENT of your perceptions too much, it might be seriously wrong and it is not what truth is. The absolute truth is that the perceptions is all there is, but that doesn't mean what they depict is ultimately true.

Guys, if you can't stop preaching you are Jesus, though it is in a way true, even when it harms your survival and weirds out people, then YOU ARE mentally ill, and not held by some dark psych ward forces. Healthy people can hold both the realization that they are God and not scary others around them so much they decide to put you in handcuffs. What you are doing is not being integrous, but being crazy. Not your fault, just intricate play of karma, genetic and environmental factors. Realize that you being in the psych ward is also love, no matter how terrible it feels.

All teachings, all teachers, it's all bullshit, including Leo. Although, without them life is even more bullshit.

Yup, it's not expensive at all. Considering the amount of content to price, it's the cheapest one I have ever enrolled in.

Go to a spiritual festival, where there are different talks you can attend and activities. Yoga folks are soo cool. Sometimes I think how stupid I am for not trying yoga earlier. It's such a blissful practice and the community is very welcoming. The only more welcoming community I have interacted with is the k-pop & anime nerds. You will find some friends in those circles for sure, or maybe try some political, environmental activism, or computer programming circles, designer meet-ups, whatever rocks your boat.

Two meals a day I think is an optimum for a spiritual practicioner.

You are more experienced than me, but still, everything is Goodness and Love. I would have to trip on ultra-heroic doses like 10g of shrooms or 500 mcg of LSD to lose control so much that I can't rationalize the experience in that way. Then I guess it would be random whether it's a good or bad trip. But on lower doses? I don't think I will ever encounter a "bad" trip on them, even though it could still be an experience full of physical and mental suffering. Insights about suffering, pain and fear are valuable and make it a productive trip in the end.

I have had a psilocybin trip where for 2 hours of the peak I was shouting from suffering, crying for mommy and basically was unable to move, grasping to the realization that it's all love and I am a miserable dust in "Yours" presence, like a drowning person is grasping for air. The next 2 hours were a little bit less filled with pain, so I could decompress some of the feelings. But I have integrated it, so it's not a bad trip, just a challenging experience.

Your first mic can be Boya M1, it costs $15 and is way better than anything built-in. It's a lavalier mic, so it might still be useful to you, even after you buy a proper mic.

I agree, there are no bad trips, only hard ones. A single heroic trip might be safer than a year of microdosing, though.

@Joscha It's another strong drug in your system, that's enough to make it riskier. Also, taking it before the trip is a stupid idea, as it counter-acts the psychedelic effects. It's wiser to use it only in a crisis situation DURING the trip when you have taken more than you can bear, whether accidentally or on purpose, and want to bail out.

@Javfly33 This is my source: https://thethirdwave.co/psychedelics-heart-risk/ Most psychedelics bind to the 5ht2b receptors, of which the heart is full, and some drugs are toxic through a similar mechanism of action. I have a pre-existing heart condition so I try to err on the safe side.
