I'm not much better lol. Did a 20 minute run for the first time in years some days ago, and it was rough, but I already felt different the day after. My breath was much smoother while lifting weights the following days. I might incorporate running 3 days a week ontop of my regular workouts.

Yeah, the moment I felt like I had to come up with defenses for why it's not deadly, it felt very wrong. I got the idea from some random youtube comment many years ago, and it sounded reasonable, but it became different once I started considering the actual health implications of it.

@Someone here I don't think I can ethically recommend doing potentially health threatening things. I can't take back the information I gave you, but I'll delete the comments.

Destiny is entertaining, good faith and capable of nuance. I don't watch Vaush. He thinks conservatives are evil demons and that we should delete them from the face of the earth. Fuentes is an anti-democratic, Christian white nationalist, Schrödinger's Nazi. I'm a New Age social democrat. Those things do not mix.

TJ Reeves, Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, cancelling, conspiracies, etc.

I sense a general pattern of identifying with the underdog. It might be interesting to introspect on if or why you have any predispositions in that vein.

DO SOMETHING. Find something that can replace it. Create specific coping strategies for when the cravings are at their worst. Go for a run, take a bath, eat something. Passivity and boredom is the biggest enemy. Do you know how beneficial physical exercise is for your well-being? It's literally like injecting your brain with drugs.

Most lysergamides are long-lasting, but I found one at 4-6 hours: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/MiPLA

7-10 hours vs. 8-12 hours. Not a big difference.

I think of the final letting go as entering a black hole: You can't imagine what is actually on the other side. Whoever enters it, no information can be transferred to the outside. When you approach it, space and time starts collapsing.

He is trying to communicate a feeling that when he looks at other people, the feeling of them having a "personhood" is weakening, which is a direct result of his own feeling of personhood also weakening. "Other" is always constructed together with a "self", and saying that "other people are imaginary" or "I'm imaginary" are just different ways of communicating the same thing: that the duality of self & other is collapsing.

"You" aren't real.

Egocentrism places ego above other. Not the same as saying there is no other.

Accept what you fear.

Listened to them a lot for a while.

I've been through exactly what he is experiencing, and there is no help. You either take the plunge or you deny deny deny for 2 years straight.

There is no me.

Do you have your own perceptions, thoughts and feelings? Well, based on the fact that when I pinch my skin, I'll say "ouch" and then feel pain, and when you do the same, you will also say "ouch", it's a safe inference that you experience the same pain as I do. I have other experiences other than pain that also show the same correlations as mentioned above, so it's also a safe inference that you have your own perceptions, thoughts and feelings just like me. However, consciousness is not just inherent to perceptions, thoughts or feelings, but also that which is not those things. This fact is verifiable through direct experience, not just through inference.

"We" are each our own patterns of perceptions, thoughts and feelings, that seem obscured to each other in some way, but which still occur within the same field of infinite consciousness. Each perception, thought or feeling is also infinite onto itself, and you can choose to dive into the infinity of either of those things and unite the infinity of form and formlessness.

Drink tea instead Become a monk.

You gotta do sumthin

Not being upfront with your therapist, let alone on a psychedelic. Wow.

What did you do to not smoke?

I'm on this layer: I'm sorry
