Thoughts?

How safe is this? im afraid to try it. It is basically depriving the brain of oxygen and could in theory cause heart attacks or seizures, right?

Arent you doing basically the same to yourself as people huffing compressed air? Does this look like it could grow you?

What did Peter Ralston say exactly? Wouldnt you think of someone like him as extremely open minded?

@MiracleMan There are drugs that raise or lower your consciousness its not that all drugs eliminate ego. Alcohol is a drug that definitely enhances ego, it lowers your consciousness. Eckhart tolle said some interresting things. About cannabis he said it makes the mind slow down for a while and he can see how that can help some people get a break from their mind. About LSD he said that it just enhances colors and makes things look more interresting, he goes on to say but thats how reality is all the time you just have to be open to it. So interrestingly it seems like he doesnt think LSD is an "enlightening" drug, maybe he just got the visual effects because he is already enlightened and now he thinks that what LSD is for everybody?

After having tried 2CB and LSD now I would definitely say cannabis has some psychedelic properties. MDMA too. I dont understand why people dont consider these psychedelics, there may be no visuals but the general direction in which they push you feels the same to me. I will get some CBD Cannabis and try this out. I cant smoke these high THC strains either, I get way too much anxiety and even panic attacks. People probably wont agree with me here but I had some powerfull introspective experiences on low doses of both Alcohol and THC combined. You dont feel clearheaded, but it can show you a different perspective.

after not having the balls to do it for months I finally dropped acid yesterday after a couple beers. Didnt want to get insights just get a feel for the substance and curiousity. I was drinking with friends and stuff got way too intense. I went home and now its 11am the next day and I still cant sleep. There were some nice moments during the trip but for me its way too intense and way too long. I dont think I will ever so LSD again.

I actually had some benzodiazepines at home that ive never taken as a safety measure for if i decide to trip. The trip didnt spiral out of control or anything it was just very annoying that im still not right in the head or couldnt sleep after so many hours. I thought thats not a good enough reason so I didnt take them and rode it out.

Finally back to normal, I havent slept until 10 at night the next day so i was awake almost 24 hours after dropping. I didnt feel quite right the whole day yesterday. Still mentally exhausted but peaceful now. In the end I got what I wanted, I learned what it feels like that its not about the visuals at all like its portrayed in mainstream media. My curiousity is satisfied. I know i barely scratched the surface of what Psychedelics can do but that was my intention. I will take a long break from psychedelics and if I do them again I will do the shorter more lighter ones like 2-CB which I had a good experience with once in a simmilar setting. While Leo is right that the strongest effects are gone after 6 hours, that weird body feeling and general headspace didnt go away for most the next whole day and you dont really feel like youve come back yet.

@Berjohansen I think shrooms are more for me, this trip would have been awesome if it stopped around the 6 hour mark.

@cirkussmile you are right, friends with beers was the most comfortable scenario for me, I would not dared to do it alone at home because I get panicky even on weed too. On the other hand I totally underestimated it, I thought its going to be relaxing with some visuals because its this hippie drug, I did not expect it to be so stimulating and that you can feel it's "pressure" all the time with these weird body sensations.. At least I learned something, I knew about set and setting but it couldnt have happened for me in any other way if not impulsively, I made plans to do it proper over and over and chickened out every time so I was just fed up and got it over with.

If I would do this alone I would be freaking out over 12+ hours. 100% no way I would do this. If I do any future trips it wont be LSD for sure.

@Leo Gura you are totally right but I just couldnt bring myself to take that 12 hour trip when sober. It wasnt really a bad trip its just that I got tired and hungover in the middle of it and it got annoying. I still feel light after effects and havent slept, that stuff is way to intense for me, and I tried all the "party uppers" already. I dont understand how people do this stuff recreationally honestly. I thought I'd do a recreational fun trip in company o friends first with the anti anxiety from the alcohol to get a feel for LSD. Nope.

its been 13 hours here, the effects are gone but I still havent slept

1 hit, should have been 100ug

Im never having problems welcoming the emotion and feeling it fully. But I dont feel like I have any control over wether I feel like this or not. So the second question "could you let it go" is usually a no for me. I can sit and observe the emotion, contemplate how it feels and where I feel it but I can not make it "go away". The third question "would you let it go" is usually a yes because I would let it go if I could but it never happens and I dont know how. I did it up to 5 times and just does not nothing for me. What am I doing wrong? The way I usually feel most of the time is slightly depressed and low. Im also often have negative emotions for beating myself up over mistakes I made in the past. I wonder if sedona method is even the right tool for this.

What would I need to do to realise I create all my emotions? Meditate more, raise my awareness? I mean this sounds good on paper, but what should I do? It feels like these emotions happen to me, and if I tell myself that I created them it still doesnt change anything.

You are oriented external. No cult or underground group needs to exist for you to meditate. While society and culture have their bad sides they do not destroy you, in western society you have your survival needs met and can concentrate on higher values easily. We just talk about the bad influence of society here because the good stuff is obvious.

What you experienced was a reflex. You also cant suffocate yourself or just stop breathing. How that leads you to think you ar not the body? dont get me wrong, I'm not arguing the opposite I just dont think this is it.

Very skeptical, but Im going in. Fact 1: Science was wrong before. Fact 2: Creationists too, to a far bigger degree. Phenomena that couldnt be explained have been filled with god since the dawn of humanity, and it turned out wrong every single time so far. While science most of the time adjusted their theories creationists have just been completely wrong. It seems to me like creationists get pushed into a smaller and smaller corner every decade and Just like the materialist scientists, these people dont want to give up their idea of god, how else could someone seriously hold on the idea that the world was created 10.000 years ago. After researching the author a bit I probably wouldnt have ordered the book, but now im trying to read it with an open mind. Anyone already read it and has thoughts on this?

Here is another in-depth analysis I found of you Leo https://www.quora.com/Is-Leo-Gura’s-Actualized-org-a-scam/answer/Connor-Frankston-1 Damn it must be crazy to read stuff like that about yourself on the internet, I cant even imagine.

He wrote me in private telling me he meditates and watches your videos. He also said he did his post graduation in physics (astrophysics & cosmology) and thats why he didnt like the video.

According to his wikipedia page this guy had a cocaine habit and drank himself to death. What even is the difference between an alcohol addict and this guy than?

See, I get enlightened people acting unreasonable from my point of view, or even enlightened people enjoying luxury. But how could someone who is enlightened be addicted to alcohol? How is that not a contradiction?

I wouldnt say no to a relationship if it happened (honestly i am also not disciplined enough to say no). But im not chasing it anymore. I tried chasing it and not chasing it, and it didnt happen either way, but Im in the process of making peace with it.
