LSD has been most useful to me. There was a time where I did higher dosages for a while, but I've had more success with dosages ranging from 50ug - 200ug (although, the higher dosages also had some benefits that lower dosages didn't provide much of). I like to use it in combination with "spiritual" practices, and it seems that 50ug - 100ug works best for those purposes (closed-eye visuals and other stuff can be a bit distracting at times when taking higher dosages). One-ness was realized during an LSD trip combined with meditation, self-inquiry/contemplation. Now, I also use it for energy and channeling work.

I am not sure if I understand your question properly, so correct me if something's misinterpreted. Altered states include trance states. Your methods might be good, if you feel/sense as if you're making progress. But also, sometimes it can feel as if not much progress is being made, here it might be good to keep trying for a while longer. Are you trying to achieve anything specific? I've been meditating (mainly concentrative meditation) for two years or so, and it has slowly brought me into deeper layers of reality. Now, I find a mix between Kriya, Wim Hof, gratitude & love, reaching out to guides, angelic, "higher beings" works well for me.

Somewhat, vedic astrology reflects quite a bit about the stuff that's happening in my life and how my personality is wired.

I'd recommend that your overall/main life-purpose is a purpose that you'll always keep working on/with till death. "Life-Purpose". There could be other things that interest you and that you'd like to achieve, those could be side-purposes/quests of some sort.

Doing psychedelics might be a bad idea, the keyword here being... "might". If you decide to try it, please start off slow and follow certain guidelines before tripping. Also, I advice that you look into the mix and possible interaction between medications and the potential substance.

All are important, and go hand in hand. If one is out of line, then the other aspects might suffer. I hugely struggle with good & quality sleep, and it's having quite the impact on my overall health, especially my psyché. I can't remember the last time I got a good quality sleep, it's probably been 3/4+ years now. I usually wake up multiple times during the night, so I'm not sure of how much sleep I actually get (including quality sleep). Maybe I get somewhere between 3-5,5 hours of sleep, if I am lucky, again quality sleep doesn't seem to be included there. My diet is alright, it could be better (I've got colon/stomach issues, and I am experimenting with foods that work for my body). I do consciousness work, exercise is in there too and so on. My outer/inner circumstances aren't ideal, but even when they were better, there was still disfunction within the sleep category. My concentration, focus, energy, motivation, my overall mental health is in the shi*ter and I suspect that sleep has a lot to do with it. I remember when I somewhat got decent sleep a few years back... when I woke up in the morning, my energy levels were noticeable better than usual. I felt more alive and saw more beauty in everything, more focused and motivated overall. Sleep affects all areas quite a bit, physical health, mental health. It's a huge deal...

@Mel B I also used the 1ml syringe, I had one more prepared (for quick refill). I stuck it up to 0.9ml or so, with water all the way up to 0.9ml on both. I think larger syringes also means stretching that back-hole wider, which I personally don't enjoy. But, do (find out) what works for you

@Mel B I plugged DPT three times. The first two times, I didn't really feel much of anything, maybe a slight contrast distortion. I thought that plugging just didn't work on me. Days later, I had some DPT left and didn't want to snort it because of the nasty side-effects and tried plugging in again. On the third try, I used more water and pushed the syringe deeper than before, till it couldn't go any deeper, and I also upped the dosage. I didn't expect much... well, this expectation of "nothing much will happen" was completely shattered. It took me places... You could try to add more water to it, push the syringe deeper and please heed the warning, that there is this exponential curve to it.

@Marcell Kovacs Much of what you wrote reminds me about myself. Maybe some of the upcoming words, resonate with you too. Currently, I feel quite hopeless (depression etc.), things are getting quite overwhelming for me. Never really felt I fit in anywhere, and the societal expectations that are considered to be "normal", amplify my neurotic thought/emotional processes big time, to the point where I would rather be done with my experience of life. My life-purpose is also to create music. Feeling truly alive and aligned, effortless self-expression that touches the hearts/souls of other beings. Yet, I am also very much drawn to consciousness work (Kriya, Psychedelics, Meditation etc.), embodying one-ness and working on my inner world. The expectations I have for myself are quite high, too high I reckon currently, and the energy gets drawn into many facets at once which don't produce steady results long-term because I might look into or try something, and then eventually drop it, then find something else, and repeat. I need to really focus on a few things at a time, instead of trying to go for 3+ things at once, or else there will only be dabbling, which I've done for years. Although my life-purpose has to do with music, I don't follow it strictly and focused because of my inner-emotional state. There are days where I feel this urge and pressure to really go for it, practicing and so on. Then there are days where I can't really focus, and feelings of depression settle in. There are times where I want to drop it all (including my LP), pack my stuff and just go some place into nature. But, dropping my LP would be pretty mean inner-death to me, so I still go for it. I see much potential within me, but the mind is scattered and unfocused, usually very analytical (but not in a good sense). There's not much I can share with the world in regards to LP and similar... yet. Anyway... some key-points that apply to me, that might also apply to you Things need to be set in place slowy, with patience and compassion for oneself. Don't channel your energy and time into many things at once. Create a viable strategy to achieve whatever your goals are, and think longterm. Comparing yourself to others, is a waste of time and energy. Their own biological makeup and conditions of life don't apply to you. Notice when you put too much pressure on yourself, the more you fight the more resistance you might get. It's okay to take time for yourself, the more emotionally/mentally equipped you feel to handle yourself and life, the smoother the ride. Breathe, feel into your body. Be aware of what you tell yourself, your judgements about how things and you "should" be, fears etc. Take some time to reflect, see what lessons can be taken out of previous experience and what can be learned, are there things that bother you that might be worthwhile to adress (shadow-work, emotional healing, limiting beliefs etc.)? Do your best, and when you feel that you can't for whatever reason then do your best to accept and surrender to it. Afterall, there are times where our "best" is not on the same level as previous and even future times, and that's ok. Practice self-love and acceptance. Your ability to feel joy and happiness, depends on how much you truly love yourself (all of it, every aspect).

@khalifa I've not read all within the thread of yours, so it might've already been mentioned. I am experiencing energy and vibrations too, often due to kundalini and progressing spiritual development. A few months ago I went to a Reiki practitioner because I experienced back pain due to kundalini/energy amongst other things. I've had one session, and it helped me. Maybe booking a session at a good Reiki practitioner might help you too

@Danioover9000 This is insightful, thank you both for your time and energy

@Danioover9000 That's interesting! Congratz to you both, for finding one-another. It seems that you're both, personality wise, do well together. I've had some paranormal experiences happen, one that was dark & traumatic as a child of early age (it's the first memory of my life, that comes to conscious mind). I still get emotional at 24 years of age when thinking about it, met a c*nt-ish entity. A few times, I experienced love, acceptance & understanding from what I perceived to be other entities/thought-forms with good intentions. I'd like to become more open to it all, perceiving "other-realmly" beings with much more easy and clarity. Mostly I feel stuff like... tingles, goosebumps, feeling as if someone is there with me (subtly/almost touching my skin) and I might get energy-surges where my eyelids at times start to flicker. Visually, if I concentrate on the space between objects, there might be traces of light/energy that are still very subtle and hard to make out, in half-asleep & half-awake states (only had a few of those), there's much more clarity to all of the senses when it comes to perceiving beings, and there I hear voices too. It's cool to read from someone like you, who is able to perceive deeper, especially consciously in the "waking state" (many need to get into deep trances). I have some questions for Crysty, that I am curious about! 1. How does your current perception of reality, differ from us "living" human beings? 2. Do you need to be doing things like... nourishing and taking care yourself? Such as eating, and if yes, are those foods much different than what humans typcially eat? Are substances like psychedelics or similar, accessible for you, to also explore deeper & other facets of reality? 3. Do you have to attend events within your "main" perception of reality, such as gatherings, meeting with other beings/friends/family etc.? Hell, maybe even work for currency that in turn opens doors to different luxuries or similar. 4. Can you travel to pretty much any place within reality, in an instant, also through time? 5. Do you have your own spirit guides and beings watching over you, that you communicate with? 6. What do you seek out of your experience? Any bucket-list goals, life-purpose, values or similar that speak to you? 7. Do you have any tips and advice that can be useful for people that are trying to make contact with other beings and entities? & 8. Can you do a tiple-backflip while balancing a pink q-tip on your left pinky?

Thank you guys for sharing, I took in some inspiration from your boards, and this is my current one. I'll probably change some things here and there eventually, as life progresses.

Worth a watch

My experience with scales, is that they're not reliable for small dosages, but then again I've not bought a higher priced milligram scale which actually might be accurate. I only went with the spoons instructions. Any scale that you bought from the internet, that you'd recommend? I admit not to have googled the possible interactions with DPT, I only know that 5-MeO combined with remeron isn't a good idea. So I've been taking it on faith, wanting/desiring to "get there". I'll taper down on remeron, trying to quit it, for safety reasons. Thank you about the insights, especially in regards to the spoons. Now I know they're not reliable for measurement. Thank you for the heads up! I used a paper straw, plastic straws are more handy though That's a lot of powder, even for the spoon. -------- Thank you all for the replies, I appreciate your feedback on this. I will be taking a more responsible route, and do more research about it + dosing/measurement before going at it again.

Yeah, I expected it to be more potent, snorting that much isn't fun. Some substances seem to not hit me at all, unless I take large quantities of it. Weed is one of them, maybe DPT snorted/plugged might fall into the same issue, but there are more variables so I can't say for sure. I used a milligram spoon for measurement. I didn't snort all at once, I made a few lines and took the largest lines first, then I pinched my nostrils and rested with my head back slightly, for two to three minutes and took another line, repeat, till there was none left. I use an antidepressant (remeron), in a low quantity (the anti-depressant effects according to my psychiatrist, would happen if I took more). I mainly use it to get sleepy. This could've interfered with the potency, and I am aware that mixing psychedelics and anti-depressants isn't always great. My first proper DPT trip was a large dose, and one day after that one, I snorted the 210mg (+-), and it seemed that the first trip was more potent (which was of a lower dosage). Might be some tolerance there after the first proper trip, for me. No-one else tried this batch. You might be right with degradation &/or improper synthesization. I probably won't snort that much of it again, it was nasty.

I've currently had a few trips on DPT. The plugging method is very ineffective for me, so insufflation was the way to go for it. The first time I underestimated the potency (after trying plugging high dosages, with no minor consciousness shifts), and I threw up and felt unwell for quite a while, which made it hard to focus on what I wanted to get out of the trip. My third trip, was better planned in accordance to my previous experiences, which included... Here are some of the more negative aspects that I found for myself using DPT and this method: It stings in the nose (one gets used to it somewhat after a while, and it eventually subsides). The nose gets stuffy (harder to breathe through the nose afterward) and there might be the urge of sneezing, so closing the nose is important, when letting it soak in. It may drip down the throat, and the taste isn't great. It can make your throat sore. Teary eyes (mainly happening when the sneezing part is up). Might want to puke, if a high dosage is snorted. Feeling disoriented (which isn't that bad, yet if you take all those other aspects into consideration too...) Now onto the third trip. Here I took 210mg (+-), keep in mind that I somehow seem to need more than other people for the same/similar trip-experience. Snorting that much wasn't great at all, some of it didn't fully absorb and quite a bit dripped down the throat. I had food on the table, water, a bucket of lemon ice. Relaxing music was also on play. I ate lemon ice to counter the nasty taste and the burning in the throat (that sore throat feeling lasted for more than a day btw.) Having some ice there, is really great after snorting. I also ate a bit beforehand, which I didn't do the first time and was glad that I wasn't feeling ill this time. Concentrating was easier than the first time, and "I" merged with God (somewhat, still felt as if "I" was hanging on subtly). This experience wasn't that exciting as I had hoped, since I experienced something like it before. Looking out the window, my room, all was me. What I found neat was the feeling, that waves of energy went through my whole body, up and down, getting goosebumps here and there. I'd like to go deeper, but I don't really want to up the dosage, snorting it. Maybe smoking it would be better for me, that is something I might do another time around. This substance definitely has potential, if you find your personal, most suited method of administration.

I tried plugging DPT, twice. 60mg & 90mg (take into account that some of the substance will be lost during the procedure of plugging). I took some trips to the toilet, and didn't eat multiple hours before taking it. The only things I felt/saw were slight contrast changes and a very subtle "high", other than that it also made me want to go to the shitter after a while (even though I emptied my bowels, or what I could, beforehand). Disapointment set in... then I tried snorting it while still feeling a bit frustrated, and oh boy, this worked. Snorting isn't fun, because there's this uncomfortable feeling and taste in the throat, but it worked for me. So if anyone has difficulty plugging, maybe try the nasal route and see if it does you any good.

@Shaun This might be a sign that you're making progress spiritually. In regards to numbers, I often notice 13:37 at random (looking at the clock). Other than that, strange "coincidences" have been happening more and more recently. This in a way makes me feel guided, by my higher self, other beings or whatever else. Yet, a trap here might be... reading too much into it/creating all sorts of concepts. At first this weirded me out a bit, now there's a smile on my face when stuff like it happens Keep at it, and possibly try to go/surrender to it, to the point where you feel a sense of peace during it, within!

Usually, higher doses means deeper insights in contrast to the lower dosage insights. If you're planning on meditating, then personally I'd go for a lower dose (for concentrative meditation), since the focus might get more scattered (closed-eye visuals etc.) on higher dosages. You could take one tab, then two tabs another day. I recommend you experiment with it, finding out what you personally prefer. Afterall, only you can find out for yourself.

I'm for abortion. Although yes, it's a human being that is forming in that belly, conceiving that human being could result in harsh upbringings amongst other stuff, obviously not all would have it "bad" and many of them would probably do pretty good for themselves. Yet, if we look at the numbers of kids that are in foster care, we see that many more are coming in, than getting adopted. Now, if abortion is determined to be illegal, then this number will skyrocket. I don't see any good in this. Some of them will get in foster care, some of them will live in abusive households, some of them will get aborted (DIY methods, that might endanger the woman too), and some of them would probably live on the streets. Nor is it of good help telling people to stop f*cking around, or to use a condom. Animals do what they do. As of now, I see abortion as a necessity, so that the things don't occur that I think might happen if it would be labeled illegal.

All you need to know about doing a backflip: Backflip 101

@AudibleLocket I'd suggest that you go for your dream, life purpose. Maybe you can grow that family business on the side. Living the life that others want you to live, while you don't like/share their future vision of you that they imagine for you, is a recipé for bitterness and regret. It even could be, that your parents would admire you if you in their eyes, succeed with your career as a musician.

You seem to be tackling this from duality, trying to understand non-duality from the perspective of the ego. This won't do.

Hmm, I think by this he could mean, that your ego-sense of self doesn't see imagination for what it fundamentally is, where it originates from (God), and thinks imagination is something happening to a "you"/ego. It's creating the distinction between a "you" that has/experiences this imagination, and God's imagination, keeping a sense of seperation from the source. The ego doesn't see itself, as imagination.
