Not allowing that would lead to risk of energetically harming the body right - next to not integrating fully what was shown. Is there any other way but intuition to see when there is still more time needed? When I experimented with N,N-DMT last year, this intuition often turned out to be fear. So clear determination is key. What if one is unclear though? When in doubt, always wait?

So I finally started my journey with 5-MeO. My first three trips have been careful experimentations. My questions to explore were: how does my body feel, how comfortable am I with the substance in general, and how is the whole plugging process working for me? All three trips have been 100% positive, my body felt amazing and I think I get the hang of the plugging process. My third trip was around 1 1/2 of the microscoops and already quite heavy energetically. I was still there but as a last resort when the fear hit in, I just surrendered. I said to my Self: "Take me. There is nothing to be afraid of. It's okay to die." And yes, so it was quite positive, no fighting. But it was not a breakthrough yet. I do have a question: Since this last trip which I still consider preparation, I feel that my system already needs time and space to align to this shift in energy and consciousness. I feel quite drawn out (which can have other causes as well by the way) and although I'm sometimes feeling like I could exercise, it also feels like my nervous system needs rest. My question is this: Is it smart to eat less or more? I'm on a very healthy diet right now and I just switched to 'one meal a day'. I don't eat that much, maybe around 1500-2000 calories - out of satiation and also because I want to lose weight. I have no idea what is better energetically - giving the body more time without having to digest or eating more regularly and more calorie-wise. Do you have an idea? I know I need rest and I will listen to my body accordingly. Also, is there something else you think is helpful for someone who integrates the healing of this substance? There's also harsh ego backlashs, contracting heavily as a strongly felt resistance knot. I know that there will be much tougher phases of integration, so I want to prepare myself. Thank you

Ha!

@Ella Wow that was amazing, feel very different since the exercise two days ago. Thank you <3

I'm not, I was just confused by the different recommendations. Thank you for the clarification <3

@Serotoninluv Those last two answers are amazing, great to the point expression of what this is all about. I might quote these when introducing friends to this work soon @Ellenier @Leo GuraI have a question regarding the dissolution of the freebase in vinegar to prepare it for plugging. Ellenier you tested this out with the 25% vinegar essence and you said to use 5-10 drops of it. Leo you said "regular" vinegar is enough and you said 2 drops. Now, both of you seem to make it work for dissolving into infinity, so I'm really asking out of care for my rectal health. I got myself the vinegar essence. Would it be healthier to dillute it in water first (as suggested on the bottle itself)? Is there any damage a high acidic content could produce in my rectum? I'm thinking long-term.

@Esoteric @Enlightenment Thanks guys! So grateful to see you leading the way with this work. Very inspiring. Gonna start my introduction to 5-MeO and DPT very soon, to look for myself. Thank you!! <3

That's the question I'm really asking then: smoking or snorting? Not only for DPT but for 5-MeO as well, since I will start my very first experiments with both soon. My intuition is to trust Leo in that the smoother onset may have many advantages. Of course I have to find out myself, would just be nice to choose smartly from the beginning when we talk about such powerful substances. I don't smoke anything, that alone is somehow repelling me from this ROA since I think I will cough immediately after inhalation. Also, I feel much safer psychologically with a smoother comeup since with smoking I fear I will scream so loud that the police might be called. But anyway, that is only for the case that plugging has no effect for me, which I have to test first anyway

I did not try plugging yet. In the case it really won't work for me, what is the next ROA you would recommend? Snorting?

I mean when there's a real interest in every moment to see what's true, this interest, this wanting to know is what gets you deeper into seeing the truth when you're tripping. That doesn't mean to understand conceptually, but to see directly what is already so. So it's an understanding of wanting to grasp what is directly present right here and right now. There is no need to go anywhere with your mind. Watch Leo's videos "What is Actuality" and "What is Reality" before your trip, that can supercharge your curiosity. I also love Rupert Spira's meditations and Yoga meditations. They are amazing contemplations of what is true. I started my trip with one of those. Highly recommended. Here is an example:

This is so so true and so important to understand! I stayed away from psychedelics for about 6-7 months with minor mini doses in between. My nondual understanding, curiosity and orientation towards all of life shifted dramatically. I contemplated reality a lot and really got soaked in the pull of wanting to know what THIS HERE is. With this new orientation, I did LSD (~270) three days ago. Wow... I did much more in the past but nothing I ever experienced in my life ever came close to this latest trip. It's been a completely new level compared to all tripping I ever did before. And the orientation of inquiry and contemplation was the doorway. It's not about the psychedelic at all, they are merely tools (beautiful ones <3). I'm so grateful for your guidance and sharings, all of you!

Wow... Thank you so much for sharing!

I couldn't find answers to this question, so I'm asking here: The only form I could get the DPT in is fumarate. That's a salt right, so the ROA here would be plugging or insufflating?

As I understood it, you want to find a dose where you breakthrough but don't white-out. The white-out virtually leaves you with no idea of what happened. You want to take home what you experience to be able to integrate it.

So true. Are you familiar with A.H. Almaas? His approach is also emphasizing that understanding of what is going on is of utmost importance. Of course that's not to be taken as an intellectual understanding. It's understanding through observation. This helped me a ton. Also, it's interesting that you mention the writing method. Every time I have furious and unstopping thoughts, I try to write it all down. After that, it's much more still. Thanks for the reminder to incorporate that technique more often ??

This one is probably the episode I watched the most so far. I'm in a similar situation as you and this helped me greatly. Also, I made the step to be honest to myself that I just didn't integrate stage orange stuff. I thought through dropping the egoic need, I could skip it. So I allowed myself to go back to "classic" self help with this stuff. For example, the older episodes 'How to get shit done' etc. Really helpful

I can resonate with that. It's crazy every time I arrive at the direct experience of thoughts being at least 99% unnecessary, I can clearly see that this clinging really is the hardest addiction I've ever encountered.

This is such a hilariously accurate metaphor

Could you elaborate? Only listening to him recently and I find him quite interesting. But didn't watch too many videos to get a bigger picture of his views. I love his way of expression also, but I had to get used to it

@Leo Gura I agree. I always try to have both eyes-open exploration sessions and eyes-closed ones. To me, the absorption with closed eyes is just easier to get into. Also, the visual field is not the only perception. To me, every perception like hearing, seeing and especially sensing the body are a catalyst to explore perception. But of course, our beliefs about reality are mostly held up through the visual field.

@111111 Yes even 1500 I heard of. There's also this shaman guy we once posted a video of here who did like 20-30 grams of mushrooms. It's a completely different drug in these calibers, no one here has an idea. You just have to try But I agree, I would be scared to damage my brain

@111111 Lol "only" double. "Only 130ug" 130 in itself can be super intense. Very exhausting indeed. That's why I tried some 4-Aco-DMT, it's way shorter. But of course not the same type of effect as LSD. Not worse though, more like shrooms.

Is that a general advice for all 5-Meo dosages?
