@Judy2 haha even when you complete the value assessment, you’re gonna change your values again in 2 years, 4 years, 5 years. Don’t think too hard about it. Use ChatGPT if necessary

@Monke you’re doing good at 25, don’t take your degree and skill for granted. You have a route to continue making great money. unless you have a concrete plan to make money from art ( if that’s your plan ) then keep using your degree. The artistic path is just gonna take you on an internal journey, sure you’ll meet more liberal/alternative thinking people then who knows what will happen but your just gonna get experiences unless you find a way to make money. take it from me, I completed Leo’s life’s purpose course at 19, I spent the last 8 years busting my ass to actualize it, after all that I’m going back to school to learn a trade but who knows maybe your different.

@Recursoinominado There’s a funny quote ” spirituality without your ability to control reality is vanity . ” it’s true some people can be healers and clairvoyant and see the future but they can’t manage their own bank account or create sustainable income for themselves or even worse, can’t get a blow job lmao.

@LambdaDelta that was beautiful brother thank you. It sounds like you’ve taken a lot of psychedelics. Since 2021 I’ve taken 5 MEO DMT with a breath work practitioner probably 15+ times and I’ve been taking LSD since 2017. I’ve never taken psychedelics week after week or month after month, I’ve always spaced it out. I feel like it all comes down to loving our 3D reality and playing this infinite game of life with the spiritual tools we have.

@Sincerity 😊

@LifeEnjoyer lmao

@Ramasta9 Thank you, this really resonates. I now have to look at how much I’ve been pushing it. I’m leaning toward a long break to let my body catch up and focus on integration, therapy and building my actual life. I appreciate the reminder that it’s the journey, not chasing another big trip.

@Natasha Tori Maru Appreciate this, Natasha. When you say CBT would’ve been 100000% faster — do you mean straight-up CBT, or CBT mixed with trauma work / somatic stuff? I’m coming out of years of heavy psychedelic work + a recent accident, so my nervous system is pretty fried and I’m realizing I probably need something more practical than more trips. In your experience, what kind of therapy felt most grounding and effective once you put the psychedelics down?

@Hojo infinite clowns 😂 good god lol. You ate 20 grams of what though?

I’ve been sitting with this for a while and wanted to hear from people who’ve actually gone deep and then stopped (or heavily reduced) their use. For years I’ve used psychedelics as a core part of my path. I’ve had all the classic insights drilled into me: Mind and reality are one The ego is a construction Life is a dream / appearance in consciousness “You’re not the body, not the story” Cool. Got it. Burned into my nervous system. But here’s the problem I’m running into now: Is there a point where more trips just deepen detachment and spiritual bypassing instead of helping? How did you personally decide, “Okay, enough chemistry, now it’s integration and real-world action”? What signs told you psychedelics were becoming a crutch or an escape rather than a tool because look at Steve Jobs. He took plenty of LSD & created a successful company. I just had a traumatic experience and I’m not sure if psychedelics with a spiritual practitioner would help.

@Oppositionless Don’t underestimate the fact that you’re still here, still self-aware, still reflecting and sharing. That’s not nothing. We’re basically the same age and we’re both in the mud trying to figure it out. Wishing you some calm in your nervous system and a way back to the things you love doing, whether it’s music, poetry, or something totally new

@VeganAwake Thanks for this, I really appreciate it 🙏 The reminder that “life is the phase and everything is the path” actually helps calm me down.

@Miguel1 Thanks for sharing this Miguel, I really appreciate you being honest about it instead of romanticizing the process. I actually think you should write about it. Putting it into words can help you transmute the whole thing — you get some distance from it, see it from a bird’s-eye view, and then it becomes something you can work with and transform instead of just endure.

@Daniel Balan thank you

@Leo Gura Thanks Leo, I appreciate it. I’ve been watching your videos since 2017 and a lot of what you said about gurus and not giving our teachers too much authority is really landing for me now. This whole incident is forcing me to become my own highest authority, just like you’ve talked about.
