@Nahm one of the reasons i got hooked by actualized.org is because of the lax psychedelics policy. i know plenty of people who messed up their psyche with drugs - i know plenty who didn’t, only some can take them repeatedly while staying sane to a point. i doubt its the best choice for a forum who has a section about depression and psychological issues. there is one case of suicide connected to the forum where someone tried to heal himself using psychedelics instead of seeking psychological, psychatrical help. psychedelics further create confusion while some people need more clarity. its mainly for people who already had a stick up their a** and not exactly for creative people with already issues getting along with reality. if someone is already floating in space sober, you don’t tell them to let go of security lines, because then the experience would be so much more exciting. worst case scenario after letting go, flying away with the spaceship, because there are other exciting realities to explore. @FlyingLotus leo doesn’t teach much about psychedelics in the videos, it’s not the reason why people start writing in the forum. most do because they have some issues to deal with, or because they made the step to buy the life purpose course.

Are you saying the reason not a single other spiritual teacher on that list warns against ‘the dangers of spirituality’ and Leo does, is money? I’m not following your logic here. Had you said he can’t afford not to, because his income is contingent on clicks, that would seem logical. Can you explain further how, because he can afford to, is the reason he ‘warns against the dangers of spirituality’, and none of the other teachers do? How is meditation the cause of ‘the dangers’? How is psychedelics the cause of ‘the dangers’? How is Leo (implied) “teaching psychedelics”? I’ve taken em. Seems like the psychedelic essentially is the teacher. So to speak, not one single person ever said a single thing to me about psychedelics, to this day, maybe two hundred or more trips, not one single iota of ‘dangers of spirituality’, or ‘dangers of psychedelics’. Never projected a single thought onto the psychedelics, let a lot of beliefs and behaviors, like projection, go. This is circular logic. The ‘risks involved’ are the content. Helping one to recognize thought attachment is “coddling and lying out of guilt”? Not following that logic either. Seems like a justification via an implication of intensity limited options. I see the user mentioned an attempted suicide. I do not see the “manipulating people” or the “threatening suicide”. I might be missing that though, the thread’s a bit long. If one is commenting, why does not demeaning someone equal “becoming his close, personal, one-on-one guru”?

-Leo can afford to release episodes about the risks of spirituality because his revenue is based on Youtube clicks, not selling products. Those teachers are selling mainstream products (many of them are good products!) It’s not smart marketing to tell customers all the stuff that could go wrong with the stuff they’re buying . -Those teachers mostly teach meditation, lectures and journalling, which have a lot less risk than psychedelics. However, as Neph’s case shows, meditation still has dangers. The fact that those teachers don’t say anything about the risks of their work is negligent on their part. -Leo’s videos are very clear about the risks involved with various spiritual practices. His forums posts might not always be clear, but is it really his fault if people willfully choose to ignore his videos and don’t do proper research? -Some Youtuber isn’t going to help Neph with his problems as effectively as family, friends and an in person therapist. It’s good for Neph’s well-being to be honest about that instead of Leo coddling and lying to him out of guilt. -I do think that anyone who’s experiencing suicidal ideation deserves compassion and help, but they don’t have the right to manipulate people and threaten suicide because they’re in pain. It's not in their own best interest to get rewarded for that behavior. -My heart goes out to Neph. I feel sorry that he has to go through this situation. I’m glad his condition has stabilized and it’s awesome that you’ve offered to help him ?. However, Leo still has the right to not become his close, personal, one-on-one, unpaid guru.

It’s interesting you see it that way. To me it reads as Leo setting a firm, clear, healthy boundary. OP’s msg reads as wanting close, one-on-one attention from Leo and not just good advice. I can think of at least three different people on the forum who’ve tried to get personal attention from Leo by threatening suicide, and that’s just in the last year. It reminds me of an article I read about Jackie Chan. Back in the 80s he announced his engagement to his now wife, and two of his female fans attempted suicide. One even did it in front of his office. He visited one of them to be a nice, helpful guy and this just inspired more of his fans to attempt suicide. They were all hoping to get some personal attention from him (and of course they had other mental illnesses going on). Thing is, Jackie would’ve been better off making a blanket statement against suicide or not giving them any attention at all. If you’re in the public eye and people keep trying to get your attention with bad behavior, doesn’t it make sense to not reward that behavior? To me it does, even if it means being blunt and sorta unsympathetic. So Leo’s “coldness” isn’t a knock against @Neph personally. It’s about maintaining strong boundaries with everybody so he can do his work.

@Leo Gura would you ever make your own retreats for people to visit? I know you don't want to deal with the cult stuff and whatever And if people already threaten suicide on the forum, what would happen in a retreat? but..... i think generally much more could be learned in the real thing than over the internet. it could be cool have Satsang and hire some cool nurses who plug the good stuff you know I know that the guy from the "here we are" podcast for example organised mushroom retreats in Jamaica

@Neph What do you want Leo to say? If someone attempts suicide then it seems like an appropriate response to tell him to seek professional help. Mental issues can be hard to deal with and no answer that Leo makes will be adequate. When I had mental issues (depression) I went to an hour long session once a week for 2 years.

If you are raising kundalini you should be aware of the many issues and dangers that come with that and you should already have prepared methods and resources for how to deal with it. I have a book on my book list that specifically talks about the dangers of kundalini and offers various solutions and troubleshooting strategies. If you are doing Kriya yoga, most Kriya yoga books warn about the dangers of raising kundalini too rapidly. The "misuse" in this case is simply going into the process too naively and not taking the risks and warnings seriously. And also not having enough knowledge and research for what to do when you start to unravel. For example, if your kundalini starts bothering you, obviously you should have enough knowledge and intelligence to then go see a dedicated kundalini expert who can give you suggestions and guide you through the difficulties. Instead of just letting it spiral out of control to the point of suicide. Likewise, if you start having signs of mental illness or instability then you should have enough intelligence to hire a therapist or professional for guidance. I expect this kind of intelligence as a default from people doing serious spiritual work.

but seeking professional help to get some stability and get grounded for a while isn't a horrible advice if you had an attempted suicide or not?

I am not your babysitter. You have been warned about the dangers of spiritual work. What you do with spirituality is all on you. You can use it wisely or foolishly. You can use it for love or for evil. This is completely on you. If you decide to harm your body, I will certainly not be taking responsibility for that. I have said repeatedly that that has nothing to do with what I teach. If you are suicidal, seek professional mental help. I am not going to guide you out of your suicide nor mental health issues. It should be obvious that my spiritual teachings are DIY -- Do It Yourself.

It's more empowering to think of your mental health as mental fitness, something that you have direct influence of as opposed to some terminal diagnosis. Now I'm not diminishing any major disorders (I have one myself after all) but just like someone bound to a wheelchair you can still exercise and make the best out of your situation as opposed to giving up, getting fat and feeling powerless to change or improve. The more I've delved into developmental psychology, philosophy, meditation (thanks leo!) the more I've come to the conclusion that mental health is kind of a misleading term. There are so many things you can do to change the state of your consciousness, memory, creativity, focus etc. that are action oriented - like exercising for the body. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and had a traumatic childhood which left me fairly "unhealthy" mentally. Smoking a bunch of pot didn't help longterm (although it did push the pain away enough to avoid suicide which was a real concern for years.) These diagnosis or stories we tell ourselves "I have anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder" can turn into learned helplessness and limiting beliefs. Obviously depression and anxiety are different from conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar (which don't "go away" as easily) but kind of like type 1 vs. type 2 diabetic you will always have type 1. but you can manage your symptoms to the point where it's not a factor as opposed to type 2 which you can actually cure yourself of through diet and exercise (see Jason Fungs The Obesity Code.)

If it wasn't for leo I don't know if I had started my spiritual journey... I followed his meditation techniques & it worked for me.. My kundalini got awoken.. But it was a dangerous energy to live with.. I didn't know how to handle It...It drove me mentally insane.. And at the end I couldn't control it & attempted suicide & injured my hand... But when I confronted leo about this all he had to say is that you should seek professional help for your mental issues.. Like seriously dude that's all you got to say to me... Which makes me question did leo have a kundalini awakening?.. Like did he have any awakening?.. I had put so much trust & faith in this guy & that's how it ended up..I had expected better answers from you leo..

This was the most recent video of Mr. Girl reading internal emails between healthy gamer coaches. I made either a thread or post about the probability of Mr. Girl wanting a discussion with Dr. K, and the likelihood of such a discussion going sort of south in the past, don't know where it is, but I thought it's not gonna likely happen, but clearly the current situation is Mr. Girl is serious in wanting not just to discuss with Dr. K, but to even go as far as canceling him from being an online therapist to gamers, in relation to the suicide of Reckfull! Mr. Girl is , in my opinion and intuition, like the rough equivalent of Jesus Christ getting angry at the jewish priests in the temple. However, I don't know much about the situation with Reckfull suicide, nor have the feeling that Dr. K was obviously malicious. I get the sense Mr Girl wants Dr. K to confess his sins before him. What are your thoughts about this situation? Do you think Mr. Girl is trolling, or is Mr. Girl being serious? From a spiral Dynamics/Integral theory modal, do you think that because of the differences in terms of values, cognition, morality, personality typing/ego psyche, life domains and states of consciousness that Mr. Girl is viewing Dr. K as sort of the bad guy that is more responsible in part for Reckfull's lead up to his suicide? Do you think, from the perspective of ego development and shadow work, that Mr. Girl's reaaction is a projection of the differences in terms of spiritual development between the two? I'll continue over time discussing this because Mr. Girl, while not fully at stage yellow, lacks the systems thinking or conceptualisation of systems, it's values, it's higher order thinking, is having like a stage green emotional triggering towards Dr. K, whose also due to his spiritual development and study of psychology has found a niche of being an online 'therapist' for gamers. It's very interesting to me because Mr. Girl is very authentic, has a slightly different personality typing and morality, and if they ever will have a discussion, I think the discussion will become very heated.

@Bob Seeker I know you weren't asking me, but I don't think anyone would choose suicide because we could still read spirituality books and practice spirituality in prison. So even in such an unfortunate circumstance, we would still have plenty of free time and hopefully a few information sources with which to obsess over our little hobby. I hope this reply gave you dopamine. May you seek well, friend.

492. Summary: Introducing 5-MeO-MALT - The Other God Molecule -5-MeO-MALT is a little-known research chemical that’s as powerful, if not more powerful, than 5-MeO-DMT. Leo’s had some ridiculously powerful God realizations on MALT. MALT is not as well documented as 5-MeO-DMT. Because of this the potential dangers are higher with MALT than with more common psychedelics like LSD, shrooms and DMT. Do not do research chemicals unless you are mature and understand exactly what you’re getting yourself into. The responsibility is on you to use these substances very carefully and to follow all safety protocols and guidelines. -Don’t expect MALT or any psychedelic to be a magic pill that solves all your inner issues. Drugs won’t let you side step the need for inner work, meeting your survival needs intelligently, grounding between trips and proper integration. -The descriptions of MALT in this episode are based on Leo’s experiences. There aren’t many trip reports out there, so we’re dealing with a tiny sample size. Your experience will likely be different because Leo’s a very experienced psychonaut who follows proper safety protocols. He’s done hundred of trips and years of inner work. You might have to spend years working up to the kind of beautiful trips that Leo has experienced on MALT. -In this summary, DMT refers to 5-MeO-DMT and not n,n-DMT. ___________________________________ In a nutshell: 5-MeO-MALT is more loving, gentle, feminine and erotic than 5-MeO-DMT. MALT has all the same qualities as DMT, but in a different flavour. It’s holistic, very stable and great for contemplation and trip exploration (more on that below). Visuals are mild. It has a lower body load than DMT. Start with a low dose then work your way up. Be responsible. Ensure that your set, setting, and dosages are proper. At high doses, MALT packs an epic mindfuck that will melt your whole reality down to a puddle. Say goodbye to all sense of “other.” If you have big fears about solipsism, don’t take MALT. MALT & Dosing: The trip lasts 90 to 120 mins when plugged. Only 20 to 30 mins when vaped. Dosing is similar for MALT as it is for DMT. Plugging starter dose: 8-10 mg Vaping starter dose: 5 mg Plugging is perfect for MALT. Vaping is more intense and more likely to lead to a bad trip. The trip is a lot shorter too. Micro scoops are more accurate than milligram scales. Scales can be wildly inaccurate, unless they're laboratory grade. But scales are fine for measuring shrooms and maybe even DPT. -Make sure to post your trip reports!! Leo’s excited to get feedback about MALT and start gathering data. @Gerhard has good trip reports about his experiences with MALT on his channel. They can be found here. The MALT mega-thread can be found here. It has a few trip reports too! ____________________________________ -MALT has enormous potential to psychologically and spiritually heal people. It deserves to be explored and researched. We're making history by talking about it. Even most serious psychonauts don't know about MALT, and they’re missing out! Leo discovered MALT by experimenting with various research chemicals. He didn’t invent it in a lab of course, which is too bad. I was hoping he had a secret drug dealer name, à la Heisenberg. -There’s a powerful love component to MALT. If you want to discover the Absolute, Infinite Love of God this is an effective way to do it. -MALT will show you that everything is an infinite hallucination, infinite imagination, that absolutely everything you thought was real is unreal. Things like science, math, logic, reason, language, society, humanity, the Earth, human history. MALT will take you to Infinity and God realization. You will be coming face to face with God. -MALT is not a recreational psychedelic. Don’t do this at a party around a bunch of people in a loud setting. Do this with a serious spiritual intent. -Leo’s never had a bad trip on MALT, but this doesn’t mean that you won’t have a bad trip. Leo starts with low doses and observes all proper safety protocols (set, setting, dosage). -Exploration can be dangerous and risky, so you need to be aware of those risks. How much risk are you willing to handle? Misusing MALT can cause genuine injury, both psychologically and physically. If you give a normie MALT and just blast his consciousness, he’ll have a bad trip because he's not prepared. Your Body and Senses on MALT • MALT has no tolerance just like DMT. You could dose often, but you shouldn’t do it more than once a week. Don’t do it multiple times a day either. It can become addictive. • MALT has very mild visuals. Slightly stronger visuals than 5-MeO-DMT, but not nearly as many as n,n-DMT. There’s no fractal geometry. It has a faint neon, magenta tint that’s very beautiful. It has more colour and flavor than 5-MeO-DMT. • MALT is much more comfortable, manageable and less nauseating. It still has a body load but less so compared to DMT. A lower body load means you can focus more on contemplation rather than body discomfort. DMT has a pretty strong body load for most people, especially when you're coming up. You can feel nauseated or get all tense. You may have to work through bodily tension in order to access the deeper, metaphysical, existential aspects necessary for contemplation and consciousness raising. • You’re still very much in control of your body with low to medium doses of MALT. Because it doesn’t distort the visual field very much, you’re less likely to lose control of your body. Although that could happen if you take too much of it. High doses or breakthrough doses of MALT can create such deep states of infinite consciousness that you won't really be able to walk around very much. Your Consciousness on MALT • MALT is holistic and very stable. Because MALT is stable with a long trip time, you can stay in the God-realization state for much longer than with DMT. You can also experience long strands of thought which makes it great for contemplation. Shrooms can give you short, twisty, loopy thoughts, which makes it less holistic. • At high enough doses, terrifying levels of Oneness, Love and Ecstasy are possible. (It’s almost as euphoric as watching Cap’ lift Mjolnir for the first time ?) Yes, it is possible to experience so much Love and Unity that it scares you and drives you crazy. Leo talks about this here in his interview with Curt Jaimungal. Part of your spiritual work is raising your capacity to experience greater and greater levels of love and bliss. • Too much MALT can unravel your mind and reality. You can potentially develop mental disorders and lose grounding in your life. You might start acting out in unhealthy ways with your relationships, career, money, your physical body, etc. • MALT is very solipsistic. If you want to maintain the illusion of other people, this substance is not for you. • It'll blast away all your ideas about enlightenment and the stuff your gurus have taught you. All of that is nonsense compared to what MALT can show you. Substance Purity -You have to be careful about the purity of whatever substance you’re taking. One way to judge purity is by color. The closer it is to white or off-white, the purer the formulation. If a substance is darker in color, you should start with an extra low starter dose. Just make sure you’re not having any allergic reaction to impurities. Your body should feel good and comfortable, like nothing's being damaged. -Start slow, dose gradually (by 5 mg), until you figure out your personal breakthrough dose. Check for allergic reactions or weird sensations. Does it feel healthy or toxic? -MALT is naturally brown. The MALT Leo used was the color of brown sugar. Other trip reports say it looks like hot chocolate powder. Route of Administration -Don't assume you can handle a medium dose right off the bat. MALT is very easy to overdo and overuse because it's very potent. The most that Leo has done is 22 mg plugged. That caused a crazy deep trip. Plugging Plugging is the recommended method for MALT. Leo has a video on plugging. Summary is found here. You can plug the freebase or HCL version, but freebase must be dissolved in vinegar or coconut milk. Here’s a video on how to do that. Freebase is also 10-20% more potent than HCL. A trip lasts 90 to 120 mins when plugged. For plugging, start with 8 to 10 mg. That will produce a solid trip, maybe even a breakthrough trip (Leo had a breakthrough at 10mg). After that, you can increase your dose by 5 mg for each subsequent trip. Vaping You can vape MALT, but it’s more likely to lead to a bad trip. It makes the trip more intense and short. It’s also bad for your lungs. MALT is so extremely potent that it’s easy to overdose and blast yourself into a trip you can’t handle. The HCL version doesn't vape as cleanly as the freebase version. A trip lasts 20 to 30 mins when vaped. For vaping, start very low, like 5 mg, and gradually work your way up. Even 10 mg will be very powerful. 15 mg will probably be stratospheric. Comparing Different Psychedelics -Structurally MALT is quite similar to 5-MeO-DMT. If you have plenty of experience with DMT then you'll feel right at home with MALT. -MALT has some crazy deep potential for Love realization, while being less intense than DMT. It’s quite a potent combination! MALT trips are longer, so you can explore the space a lot more practically than DMT. -MALT is more feminine, loving, pleasant and positive than DMT. DMT is amazing, but can be rough, masculine and brutal. DMT is very radical in how it deconstructs your ego-mind and takes you straight to God realization. -MALT is more gentle. DMT just blasts you to infinity. DMT can be so shocking that it's difficult to understand and integrate post-trip. MALT is less of a blast to infinity. (Although you can blast yourself with any psychedelic at a high enough dose.) -Don’t assume that all 5-MeOs are the same or good, there are bad ones too. Each psychedelic feels different. 5-MeO-MiPT feels more erotic and physically stimulating than MALT. Whereas, salvia and 5-MeO-DPT feel dangerous, nasty and sinister. Leo’s also tried 5-MeO-DALT and said it was “not worth taking.” -Having breakthroughs on DMT changes the characteristics of all other psychedelics afterwards. It probably changes the characteristics of MALT too. -MALT is holistic and very stable. Two metrics that Leo uses to gauge different psychedelics is holism and stability. Holism -The more holistic a substance is, the more it allows you to think long, deep chains of elevated thought at a higher dimension, especially compared to the thoughts you have during the sober state. -Some psychedelics make it easier to focus and contemplate. Ordinarily, it’s tough to focus without being distracted. This makes contemplation difficult, same with probing deeply into existential questions. In order to understand advanced topics, you need a very very stable mind with excellent focus. Ordinary human neurophysiology doesn’t generally allow this, or requires you to train through meditation and concentration practices. -Some psychedelics can even expand both the length and breadth of your thoughts. Your thoughts can become multi-dimensional, multi-threaded and multi-faceted. Much like going from a single core cpu to a multi-core hyper-threaded cpu. Of course, integrating your insights afterwards can be a challenge. -Unholistic psychedelics will twist your thoughts around, like shrooms and LSD. Your thoughts can get loopy and twisty, like you have ADD. That makes it tougher to contemplate because you lack focus and get lost in a myriad of topics and tangents. That can also veer off into a bad trip, which is not useful for the work of raising your consciousness. Stability -The more stable a substance is the more you can explore your trip, probe into it and luxuriate in it. MALT is remarkably stable, which is part of what makes it amazing. It allows your mind to expand into a God realization state and stay there for a good 30, 60, 90 mins. You can deeply reflect upon every aspect of yourself as God and how you are dreaming up reality, your parents, your birth, other people, even the laws of physics, math and the universe. You get to see in real time how the mechanics of consciousness work and what's really going on with reality. -Even if you’ve had some God realizations, it’s different than understanding the actual mechanism by which God is dreaming up this dream. It took Leo many many many trips to understand that, and he’s had to use various substances to access that understanding. “But Leo, MALT sounds very similar to 5-MeO-DMT. Is there any point in trying it?” -The real answer is you won't know what you’re missing until you try. For Leo, there was enormous value in trying MALT even after using DMT many many times. Each psychedelic will affect you in its own unique way. They’ll also affect different people in different ways. Trying out different substances and comparing them is like having an array of tools in your consciousness toolbox. -If you can't access MALT don't be bummed out. DMT is still amazing, so are shrooms, LSD and n,n-DMT. You can still use other psychedelics to access the same basic insights and states of consciousness. You can also do it through yoga, kriya yoga or meditation if you commit seriously enough. -The choice for “best psychedelic” isn’t clearcut, unlike the choice for best, most superior Chris. Different psychedelics are like different flavours of ice cream. -Be careful about dabbling in psychedelics while thinking that you “know it all.” Just because you’ve tripped a few times doesn’t mean you understand how deep the rabbit hole goes. So keep exploring and going deeper and deeper. “But Leo, you keep having these awakenings and saying that each one’s deeper and better. How do you know that your latest one is the deepest and truest one?” -Insights on MALT do not contradict with insights on DMT, they dovetail. You don’t have to decide “which trip to trust.” Each trip causes a deepening of the same basic truth of Oneness, God, Love, Infinity, Consciousness, Non-Duality. None of that changes. You can explore Truth from different angles, perspectives and flavors and grasp it at different levels of holism. Then you can integrate the Truth and see how it plays out across your life in ever more comprehensive ways. -MALT will help you understand Actualized.org's most advanced teachings. (Yes yes, insert joke about squirting…water pistols—pewpew). You can understand where reality came from, why it exists, what is God, what is Love, what is Truth, what is Consciousness, what is Ego? What is the purpose of Life? MALT makes the highest truth crystal clear, but it’ll take more than a couple trips, because you have a lot of psychological baggage and false beliefs to bust through. You will have to deconstruct materialism, science, your gurus, your attachments, and all your ideas about enlightenment. You need to lay down a foundation to understand all the radical insights that will come to you through MALT. But if you gradually work your way up and do the work that’s taught at Actualized.org, you’ll be prepared. The Legalities of MALT -This episode provides general information about MALT. What you do with this information is 100% your responsibility. Consider the risks and dangers. They’re not just mental and physical, but legal as well. “But Leo, is this substance even legal in my country?” -Well, it depends on the country in which you live. You have to check the laws and check the situation there. Leo ain’t giving you any legal advice. What are the opportunities and the potential risks? -Although MALT is fairly unknown, your country might have various analog laws that ban the entire class of psychedelics. MALT might fall into that category, so do your research! “But Leo, I don't wanna do anything illegal I don't wanna get into trouble.” -Some psychedelics might be legal where you live. There are different types out there. It’s worth researching. -Consider travelling to a country where you can do them legally. There are ayahuasca and peyote ceremonies all over the world, or ibogaine clinics that treat addiction. You have to explore the possibilities and do your research. -Most people have more options than they realize. If you're serious about enlightenment work and you don't take psychedelics seriously, then you're not serious about this work. “But Leo, travelling to do psychedelics is too much of a hassle.” It’s less hassle than spending ten years struggling in meditation and never realizing you're God. Going to meditation retreats or therapy and buying book after book after book is a lot of work too. That costs time, energy and money. Even if it costs $2000 for airfare, hotel and an ayahuasca ceremony, if you have a breakthrough experience into God realization that’s still a bargain. The Future of MALT • MALT’s potential to transform and awaken humanity is enormous. The profound love that you can experience on MALT can have powerful therapeutic effects. Same with it’s capacity to help you introspect into your psyche and observe your ego-mind objectively. That makes it very powerful for dissolving dysfunctional, psychological tendencies you might have. • If you try MALT, do it responsibly and carefully. Leo releases his best content for free because he wants it to percolate through the culture. Don’t slap him in the face by abusing MALT and giving it a bad reputation through reckless behavior. • We’re building MALT’s reputation right now, by how we behave. Your behavior affects the image of psychedelics as a whole field. So don’t abuse it like a devil, by running through the streets naked on MALT. You don't just have a personal responsibility to not harm your body. You also have a greater collective responsibility to give this miraculous substance the right image and reputation. • Extensive scientific research on MALT is still decades away. Maybe it can be used to heal PTSD, suicide and depression, the way MDMA is being used. But, if MALT gets a bad reputation, scientists won’t want to research it. Society could demonize it, crack down on it and have it banned. Then its therapeutic potential will be squashed, and the millions of people who could’ve been healed by it will never get to use it. Do this work with love, respect and consciousness. The Future of Actualized.org & Psychedelics -Moving forward, Actualized.org will be emphasizing psychedelics as a teaching tool. Leo’s done a lot of introspection on this and has to be honest with you: psychedelics are the most direct and powerful teaching tools. -To really understand the advanced material he wants to teach, you’ll have to use psychedelics. Leo’s tried many ways to access deep existential insights and they’re simply not as effective at teaching others about the advanced subjects he wants to teach. Things like the nature of self, of other, of Love, God, Truth, Consciousness, Existence, science and so forth. If you're not using psychedelics you're simply wasting time. That's just the bottom line. (Keep in mind, you don’t need psychedelics for a lot of goals like pursuing your life purpose, or getting a great romantic relationship, or healing psychological wounds, or handling your survival needs, etc. Your strategies need to fit your goals.) “But Leo, are you saying everyone should do psychedelics?” -No. You should treat psychedelics like a loaded gun. You shouldn’t do psychedelics if you’re under 21, if you’re immature, if you have addiction issues, if you have serious mental illness, if you are being prescribed mind-altering medication, if you’re not willing to take safety precautions, and if you can’t take 100% responsibility for the consequences of doing psychedelics, among other reasons. Watch Leo’s episode on “The Top Dangers of Using Psychedelics.” (Summary is here). -Psychedelics and enlightenment aren’t magic pills. Get good at basic self-help first. If you’re pursuing Enlightenment before fulfilling your survival needs, you’re putting the cart before the horse. They can destabilize your reality if you’re not already grounded or if your brain chemistry doesn’t react well to them. -If you’re close-minded and don't have the desire to understand reality, then psychedelics won’t work. It’s why some people can party and trip for decades and never raise their consciousness. -If you abuse psychedelics, it’s also not going to work. But if you use it responsibly, carefully and deliberately with the right intentions, it's gonna work. Leo’s use of psychedelics is always done with extreme caution and with attention to safety. So, Leo’s not forcing you to take psychedelics (and he’s definitely not sharing his stash with you ). “But Leo, why are you so gung-ho on psychedelics when meditation and self-inquiry are just as powerful?” -When it comes to pursuing enlightenment and truly understanding reality, meditation and self-inquiry simply aren’t as powerful as psychedelics. Sorry. The thing that’s preventing you from understanding reality at the deepest levels is your inadequate state of consciousness, aka: the level of consciousness that you're occupying right now. The baseline normie state of human consciousness is insufficient to integrate every facet of the Godhead or understand how all of reality is constructed using God's imagination. -It is recommended that you maintain a spiritual practice apart from psychedelics for other reasons though. Meditation, yoga, and self-inquiry will build up your concentration skills and have other health and psychological benefits. But the truth is those practices aren’t effective at reaching the deepest, most holistic understanding of God. Meditation alone isn’t going to boost your consciousness high enough. “But Leo, are you saying psychedelics are the only path to enlightenment? Then why do so many gurus say otherwise?” -Psychedelics aren’t the only path, but they’re the most direct path to God realization. The problem is that your teachers are misleading you. A lot of gurus who poopoo psychedelics haven’t tried them or don’t quite realize that most people aren’t spiritually gifted. Sure, people like Jesus or Maharshi don’t need the boost to attain Enlightenment, but that’s probably not you. A lot of gurus and people who have spontaneous awakenings have natural talent that put them in the top 1% of spiritual giftedness. That’s why they can get disproportionate results by using easy, mundane spiritual practices. The bottom 99% cannot get the same results simply through 30 mins of daily meditation. It’s a deep disservice when the top 1% pretend as though the bottom 99% can stroll along the same easy path as the top 1%. -It’s a ridiculous failure on behalf of teachers. It’s more helpful and honest to say that you’re unlikely to be in the top 1% and that you will have enormous challenges that gifted people don’t have to face. The average spiritual seeker could waste 10 or 20 years on ineffective practices and still have no clue about God or Love or Consciousness. -Why waste all of that time and energy when you can take a psychedelic like MALT and understand directly within 15 to 30 mins. You don't need a book or a guru or a Leo Gura. All you need is a psychedelic, a set of careful safety protocols, a genuine desire to understand and a very open mind. You can experience profound epiphanies that will save you years and decades. -It’s a miracle that these substances exist. You're not going to believe what this will do to your consciousness. It will take you to levels that you could never ever reach through meditation or yoga, unless you were to devote 20 years to meditating and living in a cave. Thing is, even if you did meditate in a cave for 20 years, there's no guarantee you’d reach the depth of consciousness you could on a psychedelic. -Make sure you’re not in denial about all of that. “But Leo, why can’t you feed me answers like a baby bird? Gimme proof for God, for love, for solipsism, for the afterlife, for death, for heaven, for for for… Answer my questions goddamit, especially the creepy ones about your sex life…” -Leo’s done episodes on all that stuff (even his sex life!) He can’t keep explaining the birds and the bees of awakening over and over again. There are lots of things you can only understand through experience and by doing the work. Talking about something is not the same as viscerally experiencing it for yourself. Leo can’t explain psychedelics to you better than you actually taking a psychedelic. He spends so much time on the forum and in the comments section and on podcasts or interviews trying to explain God or awakening or Love, when it’d be much easier for people to understand by taking a psychedelic. It’s easy to waste a lot of time talking in circles around these topics. -Most people won’t be able to understand Leo’s most advanced teachings without psychedelics. There are many aspects of reality that can only be understood by experiencing a high enough state of consciousness that you get on a psychedelic trip. (Basically, you have to be high to understand Actualized.org ) “But Leo, you're just stuck on psychedelics and blah blah blah-baddy blah…” -If you don’t like Leo’s stance on psychedelics or you think tripping is fake and bad, you can always watch someone else’s content. Instead of trying to convince Leo to reject psychedelics, pick a more attainable goal like making pigs fly. He has his own unique approach and bias towards spirituality. To him, the responsible use of psychedelics is a more direct path to awakening than meditation and self-inquiry alone. (Although those two practices are very beneficial in their own right). He has to teach in a way that’s aligned with the deepest truths that he’s realized. -Also, you can still get a lot of value out of Actualized.org even if you skip all of the stuff about psychedelics. Leo’s non-psychedelic material is good for developing other aspects of your life. It’s also good prep work in case you ever do decide to try psychedelics. However, don’t expect Leo to change his stance on psychedelics just because you don’t like it.

@WokeBloke It’s simply that nothing is actually happening. Did Romeo and Juliet actually suicide? Sure they did, but only in a play. Is typing actually happening? Sure, but only in the story of space and time. There’s just what appears, but that doesn’t even mean that anything is actually appearing — in the end, because there’s no one separate from the infinite to know that.

I don't think there is proof Osho was assassinated. He even tried to commit suicide while at Rajneesh parajm .

There is something to it! Everyone and everything is connected in the universal consciousness, we can merge our individual consciousness with someone else's. That's what method actors do. You "channel" their consciousness and temporarily become like them (even fictional characters have consciousness). Some spiritual schools use this technique, both seekers of enlightenment and those who seek power. I'm not an expert though, the real experts are channelers, they have both firsthand experience and can channel more info about the possibilities and possible negative effects (many method actors commit suicide or die because of some reckless behaviour after their role). So if someone wants to practise this they may want to speak with a channeler or some other expert before starting.

Hey after taking the LP-Course 4 years ago I was deeply inspiried to become conscious and impact the programming scene with consciouness. Now I feel close to 0 passion for it anymore as when I talk with people who are into technology/programming. They have no idea what consciouness is about and I feel I am running against an impenetrable wall, they are to dense and mechanistic. I really start hating these dense technocrats all they care about is what works and I feel they never appreciate the work or process, just the end result. People notice this about me, I am still somewhat passionate, yet without scratching the topic of a.i. I have close to 0 interest anymore. I thought myself stuff alone, yet I burn out overtime and, especially the dating stuff and the mindset of people is ultra toxic and patholoigical stage 1 masculinity. Even when I go inside I get the same answer for years about which direction I want to head. Yet, I have extrem issues walking my current stepping stone as I don't feel valued at all. I struggle extremely to sit down and do anything when I am not passionate about it and I become often depressed. Doing smth. which I do not like. I had a lot of suicidial thoughts today, as these constant paradoxes rob me of life enegry. For example being injured and not being able to fully exercise/code on my fitness application and exercise to my level of satisfaction. It really hurts and I start to hate myself for the choice, it's all very frustrating. Yet I barely made any progress on my own I abort the process, even when I am passionate about it because my relationships suffrr so much that I have close to none. Thanks to game/pick-up the situation is a lot better. Yet, I seriously lack the abillity to work and I constantly have thoughts about suicide, because I don't get the results I feel I deserve. Sure I let go also, yet I really start to hate the idea of a life purpose as I barely had any success with it in 4 years now approx. I am quite unsatisfied with the level of support after the course. I read all the extra material, it's good, yet it lacks social connection/cohesion. When I meditate longer without a group I can become to existential/suicidial. Just interacting with pixel is horrible. Thoughts? @Leo Gura

Taken at 11:43am 3g of African Transekei Strain Ground up into a powder using a coffee grinder, Taken as a lemon tek Tea. Strained out the bits in a french press. I also took ginger and that pretty much completely took away the nausea. 15 minutes Yawning. I need to read more about trip reports on high doses. What is physical? What is imagination? Visuals at 19 minutes Holy shit dude. >I put this music on in the come-up and I went CrayyZEE! I went full ape mode, drumming on my body, flipping around in my bed, shaking my head violently. 10/10 comeup. Just completely leaned into the discomfort and insanity. >I then listened to this lol 41 minutes Yawning like mad. Shrooms to me get a bad rap as a "beginner psychedelic". They need to be respected like every other one. you need to respect shrooms like you respect 5 Meo DMT, or a vial of nitroglycerin. Respect it all as you would respect God. One day I will realize that I am eternal. >MMMM foreshadowing maybe??? ANY MESSAGE IN LIFE CAN BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY! Even the jokey songs like this one: (one that is usually interpreted as a joke) Music is VERY POWERFUL on shrooms. Jamming out to this. So I went for a long walk in the beautiful nature with my mom and my dogs, and I was really trying to see reality as a creation of imagination. I was going like "WOWWW, WOOOW WOOOOW" Over and over. "Holy fuck, holy fucking shit, holy fuckkk" Over and over again. Amazing beauty! >The visuals were top notch. At one point the entire road turned into a bright red, white and yellow sacred geometry pattern. >You can never really replicate these amazingly intelligent patterns. Not too many artists yet at least. >Imagine a combination of like these images with the colors mentioned above. >I didn't even listen to any music while walking for the whole hour or so that we were gone. I was just authentically appreciating the sounds of my shoes crunching against the rocks on the concrete. >I remember at one point during conversation and I ended up saying "It takes courage to live". >Then shortly after, I was walking a good distance behind my mother, and right there, I realized that there is nothing grounding the idea that my mom is "my mother". And that she is just another human form that has spawned in my consciousness. I became conscious to some degree that I imagined my mother. Then that spiraled into me crying and stuff. And then I was thinking deep about existential stuff. >I wanted to kill myself, like I was like 70% SERIOUSLY considering suicide. Or at least like really authentically weighing the pros and cons. >The curtain was being pulled from the elephant's ass at a rapidly increasing rate. I was starting to see more of the full ass. More of how I am imagining everything. How I am the imaginer "God". >I'm sober now, writing this part of the trip report, and I don't think I have any "absolute" understandings. So I probably didn't touch "the absolute truth" or anything. I wasn't even sure if I identified with the body. I'm not even sure if I Identify with the body NOW. I probably still do. I think it may have just been shaken loose even more. This confusion will probably clear up more when I do 5meo. You're living in a hyper intelligent mechanism we call society. >The hyper intelligent mechanism is god's consciousness (reality). >Learn to appreciate every organization and why it's there before you try to fuck with the system. Systems thinking 101. The pressure of survival demands intelligence to be gained from you. >I was thinking a lot about this because I was also emotionally dealing with the baggage of moving out soon. And how moving out, (even if you plan to move back in half a year later,) will grow you in ways that you cannot foresee. Simply because moving out will put on that pressure to shape up in order to survive. >I am learning how to appreciate the pressures that survival puts on mankind. And how these pressures is what actually fuels creation. You have to prove how infinitely intelligent you are. > You are already infinitely intelligent, but you don't believe that because you are imagining yourself as stupid right now. You, as god, are literally imagining yourself as not having all the knowledge of the universe, such that you can enjoy the experience of learning something for the first time. >There I was, crying on the floor with "realizing" that I was just imagining my life because I had nothing else better to do. Realizing that I was just going to keep doing this forever, living forever, how I was eternal, and how you cannot kill me. "I'm scared to be God." >So then I start taking responsibility from the perspective of the one that imagines everything. "For anything bad that has what happened to you, I'm sorry." (You the reader) "I became conscious of how I was imagining my mother. I imagined this so that this body could experience what it would be like to imagine an amazing mother." "I don't know how else can I explain my love for you. I would have to remember every single thing you have done for me across my entire life to thank you properly for what you have done for me. (Mom,) You had to change yourself, change your mind in order to love me, because you loved me THAT much." You're always alone. >Talking to my mom. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry Mom for everything, anytime that I've been mean, I know I need to control myself, I still have to learn how to control myself with my emotions. I have to figure out how to act in a way that is in sync with the highest good. I need to figure out how. I love you so much I created you, I love you so much, I gave you a Consciousness that you could take independently of me and you can imagine all your fucking experiences." "I am eternally sorry for anything bad that has happened to any of the people, I'm sorry. Yeah you're sorry that I'm born right? You needed me mom, so you created me. And here I am the fuck I am." I lost my mind. "There's nothing else to do but to love of your life. Because you are imagining fucking all of it." "I am imagining myself as stupid right now. I'm imagining myself as not intelligent. I'm a fucking idiot. I know nothing. And I'm imagining that." "Dad I love you so much that I want you to live the best life." "Leo I want you to live the best life." "Leo I'm sorry that I imagined you." "I am scared to live forever. That's a really fucking long time. So scared I don't want I don't want to be eternal. I DONT WANT TO BE ETERNAL!" -- >speaking as from god's perspective (supposedly) "I want you to feel bad just so you can understand the difference between feeling good and bad. I want you to feel the fear of dying such that you can appreciate the difference between living and dying. I want you to feel the fear that there's nothing else to do. Such that you can appreciate the Holiness of everything that's here. Cuz that's nothing else to fucking do. There's nothing else to do but what I'm doing." -- >Nothing is limiting me. "There is zero fucking reason why couldn't grow my finger 20 ft long." "I am imagining being scared so I can appreciate the difference. I'm imagining being scared to fucking anything in reality so I can appreciate the difference." God is mysterious. Fundamentally. He's here right now, he's doing everything right now I'm imagining a fucking body. Right fucking now. I'm imagining the wall so "I" can look at it. I am literally imagining me over here and the wall over there and the "space" in-between me and it. I am imagining a POV. >talking to god, "God, why did you make the wall?" "I'm sorry, I just WANTED to. I'm infinite, so I made the fucking wall okay?" "I AM FUCKING YOU DUDE!" "I AM Imagining a language just so I can communicate it to you." "I am imagining that you don't have the knowledge that I have. I am imagining that you are not infinitely intelligent right now. But you fucking are! You are infinitely intelligent. THERE'S nothing stopping YOU!" >God perspective "I am infinitely more intelligent than what you call "Leo". Because I fucking AM you." >Truth seems to be the very "substance" of your imaginations. But because I can say that, this is not the truth. "Truth is whatever you imagine it to be. And the building blocks of whatever you're imagining it to be is what truth is doing. What is the word truth pointing to the direct experience right now? The wall is fucking truth look at it! Imagine a wall in your mind that's equal truth, it's all there. What is there is truth. And what isn't there is also truth." "I am currently imagining myself knowing exactly how much I know. Does that make sense to you? The reader? You! I don't know what your name is. You are reading these words right now, I'm fucking communicating this to you right now. However much knowledge do you think you have right now, you're fucking imagining how intelligent and how stupid you are right now." "You are imagining you not knowing the things that you want to know because you want to experience yourself growing. You actually made it such that you can experience yourself growing because you are eternal already." "Someday I'm going to imagine this body being fucking killed. And this body is going to experience that." >I was feeling scared about imagining bad things happening to me. In which I came to this conclusion: "But look dude. right now, you're fucking chill, right? Maybe you're mad. Maybe you are the Zenswift in the future, reading this right now. Are you okay right now? Like what are you experiencing right now? Cuz that's all there is. And that's all of that there ever will be. Any fear is just you imagining something that isn't fucking happening right now. And when it does happen to you right now, you experience it, and that's what it is. But you don't need to let that fear fuck your shit up right now, because right now you're good! In this direct experience, you're good. Savor that. Learn to love the direct experience. I imagined you to have direct experience right now so you can appreciate it for what it is. Why the fuck would I not want to imagine what you are doing right now?" "For everything that's happening right now I'm very sorry. But I have fucking NOTHING ELSE to do but to create this! I'm sorry dude, there's nothing else to do but to create everything. And to destroy. And to transform." "I am imagining myself as not knowing what Leo knows right now. Fuck you Leo LOL I imagined you! I love you dude!" "I can imagine infinitely hating Leo and infinitely loving Leo. At the same fucking time. There's no fucking difference." "One day I'm going to imagine Leo seeing me in the flesh, face to face." "Every motivation that I have, I'm just imagining it out of fucking nowhere. I could imagine a motivation like for me to want to learn how to paint the best picture. Or how to best fish. And I can nurture whatever imagination I want to. And I can make that fucking real." "Why do I imagine spiders exist? Fuck YOU dude!" "Everything in my life right now I am imagining to control this body's motivations. That's what my will is right now." "Whenever I imagine (gain) new abilities that didn't think I would have. I'm imagining that relationship between knowing that I have power and not knowing that I have that power." >Looking at my fingers. "My existence is infinitely thin." >Thinking about how language evolves. "Who the fuck creates new words?' "I think I have had an Awakening of some sort." > I definitely had some sort of mystical experience. Probably not an awakening. Maybe a glimpse of the ox. I don't know. "Life IS where it's dangerous." "Just merge with the moment. Because you ARE the moment." "YOU ARE the moment." >You are literally your direct experience. Merge with it. A teaching like "you are God" is just to open your fucking mind. And then you imagine the rest of the details. "There was no intention set with the Psychedelic. I didn't even really have a reason to do this psychedelic today. The only reason is because I wanted to keep up a pattern of doing psychedelics in between the time that I work so that I enrich my life the most. And I just kind of had faith that I just figure out what the fuck to think about. But I go into this trip right now with zero fucking intention. And then here I am starting to realize I am imagining fucking everything. (Talking to myself) Like fuck you dude! Why did you fool me? Why the fuck did you fool me? Why? And I know it's because you've got fucking nothing else to do but like come on dude!" I am imagining myself being unmotivated. When I am motivated, I just imagine that. >I was noticing just how good you feel and how much it fills YOU up to be authentically loving to others. "Be nice to people because it makes YOU feel good! You selfish fuck!" "I am as strong as I need to be right now. It's okay that there's other people that are stronger than me! It's okay that there is things that I cannot lift! I am imagining myself as someone that cannot lift something. I am literally God imagining rocks that this body cannot fucking lift." Music distracts you from the present moment. It distracts you from appreciating exactly what you're experiencing. Imagine an extremely clean piece of glass. How the fuck would you know it's there? What? The frames around it? What if you didn't have that context? If you can see right through it, then it doesn't exist. How the fuck do you know that there isn't glass between you and everything else right now? Like a shape-shifting glass. What we call "air". What we call "space". "Never make any radical decisions when you are massively changing your Consciousness. Because you do not yet understand what the fuck is keeping you there. I want to fucking kill myself earlier. REALLY! I was literally in the full state of considering suicide because there's no fucking difference between living or dying. But there are forces stopping me from doing that because there's a greater intelligent at work. And you need to learn how to appreciate all the intelligence of what's guiding your actions right now." "There is ALWAYS "other" that's going to control you in some way. You existing is you being part of the system you're connected to. So whether you like it or not you're going to have to do whatever you have to do to keep that body surviving. I need to appreciate that. You fucking demonize it so much. Yes, survival is hard! It takes courage to live! It takes courage to live!" Post Trip Report Feeling normal. Definitely came right back down to a normal state of consciousness. My previous trip, LSD Trip 004 definitely was way more long lasting insights. I definitely wasn't penetrating anything super profound here. Probably lots of ego smog with the trip as well. I've learned how to say "wow" in a completely different way. Using my throat kinda like under my breath. It's like a more authentic way to say "wow". My throat was hurting just from how much I was saying "wooow"! Looking at the amazing beauty of nature. And even the beauty of the patterns in concrete on the road. I did lots of crying, dealing with the existential dread of learning that I am eternal, I cannot be killed, and I will live literally fucking forever. Like, goddamn. Crying about how I realized that I am imagining my mother. And also how I am sorry for the suffering in her entire life. And in everyone's lives. I had direct experience, or at least direct belief that I was imagining everything. I believe a more deep experience will be when I see it and don't believe it. That would be a much more real experience of the absolute truth of things. I pretty much lost my mind too with how open-minded I was. Not really much room to contemplate with shrooms, just be there to enjoy the ride. Great for nature walks if you have a sober guide (and no wildlife like bears). I wasn't hiking in nature, I was literally just walking in the neighborhood. I was very calm after the rough part of the trip. I was just happy and super content, like the calm waters after the storm. The day after. Having my brain still recover from the neuroactivity, I was just mellow. Maybe had a bit of ego backlash not being very productive, but whatever. The next day, today as I'm writing this, I'm focused. Let me know what you think!

His critism has some points. In my job I meet a lot of people. There has been so many people that know of someone that have committed suicide. The rates from 2020 was an increase of 23%. 2021 hasn't been published yet. This virus has done more damage socially and politically and the longterm effects of all of this is going to really test us.

@Galyna I have (and still am) experiencing similar things. Here's what has helped me: Suicidal thoughts and impulses are apparently entirely normal during this kind of unfolding. It is a suicide, in a way, but it has nothing to do with the body. The body is fine 99,9% of the time. You are okay 99,9% of the time, even if it doesn't feel that way. There's a difference between feeling okay and being okay. There's no need to "do anything about" suicidal thoughts and impulses, just watch them arise and disappear, they are always temporary, even if they come and go. Try to muster the courage to do basic things, even in the face of great fear. I don't necessarily mean "carry with on everything you used to do", I dropped my studies as well, but still go for walks, go to the store etc. if you can. You'll learn that even when you feel like you're deep, deeep in it, the basic bodily functions still work just fine. Breathe deeply and deliberately. Read some about Dark Night Phenomena in Daniel Ingram's book "Mastering The Core Teachings Of The Buddha". You can read it for free online here: https://www.mctb.org/ Talk to people (as you already do). Find a community where you can talk to others in real time. There are some great folks here, for example @Nahm or @BipolarGrowth. This can be very valuable. That's all I remember right now, you can also shoot me a pm and we can talk more specifically. I hope some of this helps!

After watching this podcast with Lex, Harris lost a lot of intellectual respect in my book. I mean, he holds a bachelor degree in philosophy from Stanford but doesnt understand the position and implications of idealism at ALL. Its a complete strawman. I mean come on - Schopenhauer, Hegel, Kant, Spinoza.. Iam sure he at least read some of them. On the other side, he and his wife have strongly promoted the possibility of panpsychism, which of course is utter nonsense because there is no way of ever reconciling the combination problem without making HUGE loops and assumptions. I still enjoy the making sense podcast and especially his political/societal commentary - but on a metaphysical level, he is just wrong in my opinion. You also have to take into account that a massive part of his audience is deep into the stage orange framework of seeing the world. He is a skeptic and hardcore atheist after all, so thats exactly the audience you would expect - any step towards acknowliding mysticism would be career suicide.

There’s no cure I don’t know what suicide is but it may be the best option for me at this point

Sometimes I don’t want to be here. I think about suicide but realize it would hurt those around me. I spent too much money on an online course and I’m regretting it. Bad strategic move. I’m getting older… why am I here?

Holy Fucking shit guys WOW. I am ASTOUNDED with the amount of insight I got from this trip report. I could write for YEARS teaching you how to understand every single thing I am realizing right now. I could write for YEARS nurturing the insight I got from this day, and I will. This will be my life's work. This trip report took around 15- 30 hours to write. I think. Let's just say I put a lot of time and effort into this one. Like, holy shit. GUYS, if you haven't taken a good dose of LSD and contemplated "What is love?" and maybe something like "How can I use love to maximize the Holiness in my life?", you're MISSING OUT! I DARE YOU to do 10 super productive LSD trips and NOT come out of it and being a fucking genius. I DARE YOU! If you integrate your full potential in understanding, you'll be on the exact same playing field as Leo Gura himself, if not higher. If you believe Leo Gura is on the same playing field as Albert Einstein, in one way I would say you were right, and in another way I would say you were wrong. I would argue that Leo is playing on an even higher playing field. And furthermore, that you, the reader, have the ability to manifest that much understanding, if not even more. What I'm trying to say here is that you have the ability to awaken the genius within you. This genius within has created the following: An income fueled from massive creative output. Amazing Relationships A fully integrated and active life purpose, enriching society. An AWESOME LIFE! etc. Your future ideal self is FULLY, HOLISTICALLY, INTELLIGENTLY INTEGRATED into living the most awesome and holy life. That is you. https://youtu.be/TKfS5zVfGBc "You can do anything." I dare you to read my entire trip report and not come out with loads of insight. For those that don't want to read everything: I have made a massive effort to organize and break down the trip report into the following categories: Boundaries Nutrition "Awakening" Marketing Language Random Thoughts Insights around Love Appreciation Insights about Awakening and Enlightenment Teaching As Long as this trip report is, this is the version with many things CUT OUT. So, with love, here is my trip report: January 3rd 2021. Intentions: What's the core reason why I don't hold a sleep schedule or a routine? What is Love? >I think I've unlocked the daVinchi Code of understanding. Contemplate, "What is Love?" and weave nets of understanding that bring that back down to earth in your day to day life. >This is how you enrich your life, this is precisely how you spiritualize your life: You weave a net that combines the sacred to the seemingly mundane. Such that the mundane now becomes sacred. Dose: 100mcg LSD (But with my tolerance, this is probably equivalent to 150-200mcg for the normal tolerance user.) Taken at 12:23PM sublingually Couple Minutes in... So right off the bat, love seems to be a merging of two pieces of consciousness. I think I misinterpret the come up with anxiety. Like the body load is so intense. 28 minutes Feeling a bit tired and nauseous. 34 minutes My consciousness is definitely shifting very subtly. 35 minutes Kicking in Shaking Shivering. 45 minutes Cold af. Feeling super cold. Vibration. Visuals. Design on my tapestry moving. 58 minutes Feeling sick Lots of swirling in the floor. This is very intense. Shivering. 1h 18 min So much vibration 1 tab is too intense for me. I think I am highest I've ever been right now. I'm feeling sick, it's feeling intense. My mind is everywhere. >So at this point it was pretty rough, I was not having a good time. I think my body just pretty much lost its ability to produce heat whatsoever, I was shivering so much, I was so cold, I couldn't warm up. My teeth were chattering, the whole nine yards. I felt sick, I felt like throwing up. If I had any food in me I would have definitely been throwing it up. I even threw up the little bit of water I drank. For quite a long time, there I was, just lying there on the floor, and it was unpleasant because I was like “holy fuck, am I just in for another bad trip? and am I going to have to just wait this one out?”. I found this very interesting because I have already gone through two LSD trips that were unpleasant. So I already have built up a decent amount of confidence and experience with surviving bad trips. So, I was totally okay with surviving another bad trip. I didn't let my mind wander into dumb fantasies, spiraling myself down into some hole. I was now conscious of my mind's ability to do that, so I didn't give my mind the chance to do that this time around. The experiences of my bad trips beforehand has taught me that. Rather, I just really focused on my direct experience, and the present moment itself. One thing that really helped here was just assuring myself that I took the right dose, because I could have easily fooled myself that these tabs were somehow 150 mcg instead of 100mcg because these tabs that I got now, seem bigger than the last ones I've taken. But I actually don't know that for sure. >Now when it comes to the comparison between rectal administration and sublingual administration. I'm not sure if putting LSD in your butt ACTUALLY doubles the dose. It definitely makes the come up way faster, that's for sure. But as far as it lasting half as long or stuff like that, for me, that's not the case at all. Maybe it is the case but I get high for so long that whether I put it under my tongue or in my butt, I am high for longer than a day. Maybe, just maybe when I put it in my butt, I'm high for less time. I don't know. When I put it under my tongue, I definitely get way more visuals, I get way more body load, I get colder, I get more nausea, I get more vibration, it gets more intense. But once I'm there, peaking, I have unlocked the super genius within me that was there all along (and it's in you too). So I think plugging tabs may be more desirable for me simply because of less body load. I just need to become more comfortable with just how fast it starts to come on, because, in my experience, when I plug LSD, it starts to kick in in TEN MINUTES. It's going to be phenomenal when I plug 5meo with that fast of a come-up. Just the remarkable power for it to pass through the blood-brain barrier so fast is astounding. When I focus on my hand, Visuals everywhere. All encompassing. Like DMT https://youtu.be/dFTvlqmh7Fs?t=3981 (way more than that) >This was pretty freaking cool, like wow, the infinite magnitude of consciousness, I am going to LOVE DMT! >GUYS, If you haven't already checked it out, LISTEN to Actualized.org's music playlist. If you don't know this exists, you're missing out! It's AWESOME! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpnZTJkDkZI&list=PLFfM65xLnO-GI1fYqup85SgJcC_d9vq3_&ab_channel=MixHound >I feel like this playlist is like the "hymnsing" of what Actualized.org stands for. >All MUSIC is hymsing. MUSIC IS MADE UP OF SONGS THAT PRAISE GOD! ENJOY IT! ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF GOD! 2h Been sitting here, vibrating. Holy fuck. 2h 24min JUST NOW am I starting to get a handle on my bearings. >Imagine like a 2 hour come-up. 3h LSD has this metallic feeling to it. It feels like metal, like physical steel. It feels like mercury in my teeth. Our current state of consciousness is like a continuously imagined tunnel. Our mind constructs reality like idea-tentacles shooting out everywhere in every direction. We're continually going down this tunnel, constantly constructing new realities with our tapestries of ideas. >I am becoming very conscious that all of your reality is jus a net of contexts and stories, and you just simply create the stories to ground your sense of reality. Even though they're not true at all. If you're interested in reality, you need to be interested in everything. You need to be interested in science, physics , biology, wherever reality manifests, you need to be interested in it. God is the ULTAMATE ILLUSIONIST. >Much later... I feel holy. What is love? ^ What is that question pointing to? What am I beyond the Illusions? What am I beyond the illusionist? What is it that the tool of language is pointing to? All of your explanations and stories about reality is not owning your imaginations. It's not loving your imaginations. I'm noticing every time I become conscious of one of my imaginations, I have to first imagine a being that imagines that scenario. Like I need to imagine it as a fantasy in a third person scenario. For example, I am imagining that when I look at my mother's face, that there is actually something in there and there's not just a bunch of patterns. I'm imagining it is something more than just the illusion that I have kept up for all these years. I am imagining that the illusion COULD NOT be THAT sophisticatedly intelligent such that it's actually what we call reality. I am imagining that my mother's face is something more than just shapes and colors. I am imagining that she actually exists. I am imagining that when I hug her, that I am actually "feeling" her body against mine. I am imagining that there's an actual "human soul" inside of my mother's skull and it's not just a bunch of patterns of a unconscious bio mechanism robot. I am imagining the same thing about MYSELF. I have yet to realize the complete terrifying truth of this. How “my body” is nothing but God's illusion, in that everything is just an empty husk, and that all of reality is actually completely 100% hollow. SO HOLLOW, that you could call it a dream. SO HOLLOW, that it is completely imaginary. Imagine playing a video game, and you touch a wall in a video game, you know that wall is paper thin. In video games, you can walk to that wall and see the polygon mesh. In this video game, right now, when I put my finger to the wall, it doesn't actually go through the wall because I'm imagining a wall that doesn't allow my finger to penetrate so effortlessly. The curtain of reality is being pulled and I am starting to see the complete ass of the elephant. (See Leo’s video: What if reality is nothing but perspective?) -- I am realizing my inability to appreciate my dogs for what they actually are. Independently of my ego's desires. I'm learning how to really love my dog for first time. I have been SUCH a cocksucker towards my dogs. I've been a cocksucker to all the pets I've had in my life. I am laughing so much at the word "cocksucker" . Talk about a true example of systemic homophobia. Where it is baked into language itself. ### ### ### Boundaries Boundaries START as soon as "other" comes into your consciousness. The boundaries start at the first moment your experience in your Consciousness stops being pleasurable. This is how you need to start looking at boundary setting with you and your environment, you and the people in your environment. Boundaries are tools set to maximize the love in our relationships. A really good boundary is one that maximizes the love of the universe. The best deal is where both parties win, such that it maximizes the total love all parties involved. Counter-intuitively, the way to make a relationship best flourish is to set the most intelligent boundaries. > A relationship literally isn't possible without a boundary. I need to set the boundaries with myself to respect my body for when it needs rest. I also need to manage all the politics around the things that are keeping me up at night. I only focus on things I'm not supposed to be because there is some truth that I am not facing. ### ### ### Nutrition "Awakening" I am awakening to what "Nutrition" ACTUALLY means through your actions. Nutrition boils down to: What is it? What is its substance? Is it good for me? How is it good for me? I need to start to OWN my nutrition. No matter what, feed the best food for this body. Set that standard. If you're not eating the best shit, what the fuck is wrong with you? Where have you lost such respect for yourself? You DESERVE the best, most nutritious food. Love yourself enough to see that. If you loved yourself enough, you would use your money to buy the best food. If you loved yourself enough, you would create the value to earn the money to buy the food. You really, honestly, deserve to feel the absolute best in your body, and never let anybody or even yourself tell you otherwise. Love yourself so much that you create the life for yourself. I love myself so much that I will buy the food required to make this body feel amazing. I love this body so much that I will put in it ONLY what it needs, ONLY what it's been asking for. And I will earn the money required to buy this food. >If you know precisely the relationship between your income and your nutrition, then we would not be needing to have this conversation right now. I need to read a book on nutrition to really understand. And then through the understanding it will show in the actions of what I put in my body in my life. What does it ACTUALLY mean to exercise nutrition? It literally means all the things that serve the process of nutrition. Which is understanding what's good for your body, falling in love with the process of how you get those food items, AND falling in love with the process of making food itself. Falling in love the process, actually enjoy the process of shopping from the grocery store and preparing it yourself. Taking responsibility that you have to prepare it yourself. And that if you want to feed yourself the best food, you need to take full responsibility to nurture your body. If you want to exercise nutrition, practice loving the following: Driving to the grocery store Figuring out WHAT to buy. Picking out fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whatever else you think is BEST for your body Unloading groceries Figuring out what to prepare Preparing the food, cutting up the vegetables, putting salads together, cooking, etc. Cleaning up the kitchen Putting the food away Eating the food. Tasting the food. If you fell in love with EVERY STEP, you would have perfect nutrition. I need to make a thread on the actualized forum teaching about something. I want to make a thread teaching you how to actually have good nutrition. How that actually applies in your life right now. It'll be like: "Heeeeeyyy, ZenSwift here, and welcome to this Actualized.org forum post! Today I'm going to talk about nutrition. What is nutrition? Have you ever thought about what nutrition actually means?" aha I need to write a post on how to get the most out of a psychedelic trip. I need to make a guide on how to use psychedelics for Manifestation. HOW YOU GET THE MOST OUT OF A PSYCHEDELIC TRIP is by figuring out how to integrate the high from over there to down here at normal state of consciousness. THAT'S IT. Writing a long ass trip report might help you. I know it has helped me, which is why I write FUCKING NOVELS with my trip reports now. It helps with contemplation as well. I could expand on many of Leo's teachings. It brings me great joy in the process of massaging that understanding into reality on the ground level. ### ### ### Marketing A course is literally just an essay, a collection of video essays gated behind a paywall. Marketing is appreciating the intelligence behind the product. Marketing is SHOWING YOU, the customer, how to appreciate the intelligence put into the product that I have created. Make one video that goes really viral with tons of marketing aspect into it. And then when you have that video gone viral, you also have a whole sea of content people can look at. Make a sea of content, and then hook people in with viral marketing. This is what Jordan Peterson did. Tell me this, Literally HOW do you market consciousness to mankind? Because, the way I see it, as soon as Leo's image is tarnished/demonized too much, then his entire web of teachings that he has constructed over 10 fucking years will never be able to reach the audience that Leo wants to reach. Leo will die before all of his teachings are able to be fully appreciated by all of society. Leo needs to die in order for people to awaken to his teachings. But just shy of that, is the remarkable intelligence in figuring out how to integrate your teachings across the world while you are still alive. I also think about this; how all of MY teachings will be regarded highly after I'm fucking dead. Because then it's a lot easier to take teachings from a dead dude because you have no defense mechanisms put up against the guy that's dead. Well, at least it's easier to learn from a dead guy. ### ### ### Insights about Language @Aaron p this is for you <3 I want to learn how to write a novel. How to write a story. You see, if I want to learn manifestation I must also learn how to write stories. As reality is nothing but a manifestation of stories. An author needs to penetrate into the essence of what makes a good story, and that precisely IS creating a massive illusion that you can fall in love with, and merge your reality with it. The illusion of reality is grounded in stories Rethink how to read your non-fiction books. When learning from a book, why not just open up to a random page and start reading in the random spot? Figuring out the context that sentence is couched in is going to help you with your learning. That would massively change how you approach learning in general. -- Guys, when you contemplate deeply into EACH AND EVERY WORD of your language, you become MEGA intelligent. I promise! BROOOOO You gotta understand me right. You understanding language unlocks the key to all knowledge! TRUST ME! Build your vocabulary! Especially your existential vocabulary! Literally just define EVERY word and saying that you use. - What does the saying "in a nutshell" actually mean? - Define "notice". What is that word pointing to (in direct experience)? - Define "what". What is that word pointing to? - Define "define". What is that word pointing to? Define "hypothetically". What is that word pointing to? Why is this word used? What is this word useful in some contexts and not useful in other contexts? What is "self actualization"? What are those words pointing to? I need to contemplate this. Define EVERY word that you use, you may be surprised just what you find out. You will be surprised with how much this will deepen your learning and understanding. I look at a dictionary definition several times every day because I am conscious of how much strengthening my grasp of language deepens my overall knowledge. I need to start to contemplate the perceived untouchable words like holy, Heaven, blessed, God, Godly, Divine, religious, spiritual. UNDERSTANDING LANGUAGE DEEPLY WILL ENRICH YOUR ENTIRE LEARNING. Imagine how your understanding of Metaphysics and Epistemology will rewrite your understanding of how to use language. Imagine how powerful you would become. I feel like learning about coding would teach me a lot about the epistemology and metaphysics that are impacted via language, as well as it teaching me about context. I could fall in love with coding. For the sake of itself. Coding is simply another form of language. And once I understand the epistemology and metaphysics of how coding works, that will feed into my understanding. All language will eventually collide into a beautiful extremely comprehensive form of thought. I finally noticed what's going on when I write this trip report. Whenever I try to write something I simultaneously consider all the social relationships that it could impact. And how what I say here impacts everything. It's that integrity aspect to it. So I edit things out and write what I write here in a very filtered way so I don't come off as someone I don't want to be perceived as. I believe when I feel more secure, I will be able to be more authentic and unfiltered. But we will see... GUYSS STUDY LANGUAGE The littlest things make the biggest differences. Learn how to use a hyphen! "-" Hyphens are literally is a word-combining mechanism. Learn how to use all the tools in your toolbox Here are your tools """ - Quotation "-" - Hyphen ";" - Semi Colon ":" - Colon "," - Comma "." - Period And so on with every fucking punctuation mark we use. Learn how to use these precisely to enrich your writing and focus your understanding. Practice writing the most accurate sentences. You know I used to think that a comma was put there for the reader to take a chance to have a breath. But now I think it's an intentional pause in the sentence in order to separate one set of words from the other set of words. Where each group of words created from the separation is interpreted as their own mini context set. (With this level-of-depth into language learning, I can appreciate the complexity of an academic paper.) I feel like I can write an academic paper on why language is integral to your ultimate understanding of reality. (And I mean academic in the literal sense of the word, not in the couched context of our current, corrupted academia. (Side note, the best school of thought seems to be a perfectly non-deluded, fully integrated, ego-less library) ) Contemplate: What is Language? Language is not just speech, writing, or gesture. Language is not just what's perceived in Sound. It's not just the recognition of auditory pattern with phonemes. Language is Visual. (Text you're reading on this screen; Sign language, body language) Which also means that it spills over into the other senses. Language is tactile ( Your muscle memory typing into this that's in front of you; Your predicted thumb paths on your phone's Swype keyboard.) Language is smell. If I really wanted to communicate to you, I would have you smell my amazing fresh-out-of-the-oven insights. (Think cinnamon buns) What would I be communicating if I showed up to your house with a nice perfume on? Language is taste. - If I really wanted to communicate to you, I would have you taste my amazing fresh-out-of-the-oven insights. (Think cinnamon buns) Contemplate: What is communication? -- When I put a word on the screen, I try to make sure that it is received in the exactly same perceived context that I and perceiving it right now. When I put words on the screen, I am thinking about the relationship between the words I made on the previous line. I am thinking about the relationship between the words I am writing right now and the words that I wrote 3 lines ago on a previous bullet point. When you read a sentence, notice the relationship between all the other sentences. Notice the relationship of one sentence to literally all the other sentences in a text. When you are reading a book, notice the structure of a book. It demands of you to read it front to back. That's how they're designed to be read. But on the other hand, a textbook is designed to be read from middle to middle in all sorts of ways. What if you treated your chapters in your book like a textbook. Where each chapter stands on its own as its own individual teaching. If Leo's YouTube channel is a book, then every video is like a chapter. Notice the STRUCTURE I'm trying to point to. Did anybody tell you to watch all of Leo’s videos in order? Apply that same point to this: Did anybody tell you to read a book, front to back? Why did you put your authority in that assumption? How did they know that is the best way to read a book? What if the best way of reading a book is confusing the hell out of yourself, sparking curiosity by opening to a random page and reading a random sentence and then once you've read that random sentence you have created motivation to understand what the fuck that sentence meant in that paragraph, in that chapter, in that book. When you listen to a video from Leo, it immediately Sparks curiosity to listen to his other videos because they're all interconnected. But the order that you listen to them impacts how you will interconnect all of the teachings between them. Leo's individual videos are like piles[1][2] into the sand, and it is YOUR JOB to weave the string of knowledge to create a DREAM CATCHER of understanding. This is why Leo says he could go on forever making teachings about everything. Because him teaching is literally just him doing the weaving process for you. But notice that you can weave an infinite amount of times between all these piles. (He's just selling water by the river!) [1] (Piling is defined as being foundations that are driven or bored through the ground along a certain length of area to carry and transfer loads to soil considered to be weak in structure due to the soil conditions.) Think of a foundation, but a stick/pillar in the loose ground. [2] The word “pile” has a couched context that it is stabbing into something. The pillars are the ideas, and the thing it's being stabbed into is the mysteriousness void of reality, giving your reality an illusion of ground. Your words have couched contexts, baked-in metaphysics. Using the proper word in your sentence can mean a world of difference, because using your words very properly help you understand how to best point to what the words are pointing to. Because language is just a tool of pointing. I've noticed that whenever someone wise writes something, I pay attention very closely to what they write, because usually they are very masterful with using the pointing tool of language. I study the sentence and try to figure out what they are communicating. -- I'm realizing now that if I ever get an editor for a book I make, I pretty much need to be that editor altogether. I think the only value an editor can give me, is a proofread... But what if it was a highly intelligent individual that was genuinely trying to understand what I was saying, what I was teaching and how to best communicate that in my book? What is an editor? What makes someone a good editor? What value would an editor bring me that I couldn't provide myself? An Editor is literally someone who can give you insight on how to use your written language better. Which MEANS if you want to be an AMAZING writer, you need to learn how to be an amazing editor. Every time I speak a word, I need to think about how it will be received, because otherwise what is the point of language? You see, language is the medium we use to communicate an idea to someone else. Even if it's just communicating to My Future Self 5 minutes from now that is going to forget this thought. That's what language does, it preserves thought. Words are a preservation mechanism. ### ### ### Random Thoughts Imagine a suit that you would wear that would interpret your sign language into spoken word. Also, Imagine yourself, as a deaf person, wearing AR glasses that LITERALLY give you subtitles in front of you. Talk about a million dollar idea. (So apparently AR glasses that give you subtitles is already a thing. But not mainstream at all.) Imagine a bowl that in its design, it's designed to be licked clean without it contacting your chin or beard. Imagine a dip that consisted of Peanut butter and hummus. (YOO this exists!) You know I should take acid only if I want to completely stay up for the next 16+ hours. I dream of the day that Leo learns from me. Assuming he doesn't already if/when he reads these lengthy trip reports. But I really mean him learning something PROFOUND from me lol. If all humans were fully evolved and integrated, we would all be completely polyamorous and pansexual. Or at least there will be A LOT more of it than we see now. When I write words on the screen I make the assumption that whatever server is hosting the words on my screen will never be permanently shut down or deleted. I am assuming that my technology will work tomorrow. I am assuming that some magnetic field is not going to wipe out laptops tomorrow. I'm assuming it will keep persisting to exist. I want you to understand the intelligent relationship between the sizes of our appendages and the intelligent relationship that it has with other people and with the hypercomplex and hyperconnected system that is reality. Like why are your fingers exactly the lengths they are right now? Why aren't they longer? Why aren't they shorter? What intelligence is governing your fingers to be perfectly the lengths they are? What intelligence is governing the thickness of your fingers? What intelligence is governing the acne on your face when you eat too much sugar? To notice the intelligence of your hand is to notice the intelligence of God. Anyways... -- I am simultaneously the most genius and the most stupid being on earth. The most genius in the capability of manifesting infinite intelligence, The most stupid in being SO clueless about reality that I have the ability to entertain TRUE curiosity. I feel like I'm one of the most smartest people on earth. How big is that group "most", I don't know. I need to learn to love how intelligent I am, like in a self-esteem way. While at the same time, learn how to manage that relationship with my self, such that my ego doesn't take hold and give me self-deception that negatively impacts my social survival, as well as not corrupt my epistemological and metaphysical understanding. I know there is more intelligence going into a single ant. (At least theoretically) -- I feel like I would get to know Leo on a day-to-day basis. As if it doesn't feel like that already. (Studying all his videos, reading the books on his book list, using his life purpose course, enjoying his music playlist, reading his blog, reading his posts on actualized forum. There is a very good chance that I am one of, if not, the most serious students of Leo' s work. At least I feel like I put the most time into studying his content, thinking about his content, and applying it. At least I have yet to meet someone who has studied Leo as much as I have. ESPECIALY considering that I am also learning how to be a teacher of self-actualization as well. Don't worry Leo, I am slowly integrating way more perspectives outside your own. It's just like you've got some of the best content out there. I learn SO SO SO MUCH from you!) You know what I mean, I'd wanna hang out at LEAST a couple times. #partywithgod #bucketlist -- A video made defending something would just be a video pointing out the assumptions someone has made. But if your teachings are about recognizing those assumptions, then a defense video nullifies the point. Truth doesn't need to be defended, plus it helps a lot when you hold high integrity. Which is one reason why I believe Leo doesn't make any response videos that appear to drag him in the dirt. He has literally better shit to do than to be gas-lit. I still don't understand this fully yet, as I am also aware of how much you can be crucified if you are held as evil in too large of a collective social perception. You simply just can't ignore this facet of reality: collective social perceptions. I am still SOOOO SOO SOO temped to make debunking videos that drag Leo's image in the dirt. I still get mildly triggered sometimes when I see: "Actualized.org is a cult because xyz". Like oh my god, I have the ability to deconstruct every assumption when someone decides to make another video "debunking" Leo's teachings. The ignorance of these people, and then these people demonizing Leo makes me upset. Because I know that public perceptions play a HARD role in marketing your teachings to the masses. I hesitate to even reference Leo with my teachings because I plan to play the social games to go viral on media, and I don't want to be dragged in the dirt... --- Learning about insurance makes me want to learn about legal speak, where they use words in INFINITELY CREATIVE WAYS. To be a good LAWYER is to be a great on-the-spot teacher! A lawyer is simply a man who is paid to take the responsibility of knowing fucking everything at the drop of a hat. Being able to masterfully manage social relationships in the most utmost serious literally-to-be-taken manner. This quality is also highly regarded in a teacher that can do this properly. Which is why Leo has such a fucking hard time marketing himself. Because when he says a teaching, he needs to think like a lawyer in order to consider whether or not him making that marketing move is going to maximize the collective understanding, and maximize the collective gaining of consciousness to mankind. When you pay money to a lawyer, you are paying for a human with the ability to manifest perfect integrated knowledge, on a dime! And that perfect intelligent knowledge understands all the social contexts that the teaching is being received in. -- What if I just took LSD with just the intention of writing? FULLY put my focus into writing into this document for HOURS?? >That's exactly what I did, i just generated idea after idea and came up with so many insights. -- YOOOO The way we've been cutting apples is fucking retarded. Cut slightly off the center instead of cutting it directly in half. -- Life if is all about learning how to love, and learning how to love is done by strengthening your relationship with reality. If I wanted to learn how to maximize the relationship between my fingers and my ability to output information, I would learn a more efficient keyboard than the standard QWERTY layout, AND I would learn how to type using proper form, AND I would learn how to use a maximally ergonomic keyboard. THAT would strengthen the relationship between my fingers and bringing my consciousness's understanding to this screen right now. BUT, if I was just talking about how to best put the information from my head down to a notepad, right now, for me, that is using voice to text over from Google Docs and then copying and pasting it into this trip report. In the future, we would be able to break down that imagined barrier by learning how to take language from my brain directly to words on the screen. Then, eventually we as a “human species” would become so intelligent that we wouldn't even need language, it would just be code or something. All the languages would collapse into one super language. Because we will have integrated such an amazing biotech into the human brain. Until Elon Musk can tell me that I can just think these words on the screen, I'm not sold on his "Neuralink". I understand now, to really good degree, why my brain doesn't exist. Yet in another way it does exist. it's just difficult to interconnect all the nuances of what the fuck this means. It's incredibly strange-loopy. It will take me much more contemplation to learn to appreciate this intelligent design. I think I'll make a thread in the future demonstrating my understanding of this and asking for pointers. I hear Leo talking about how you could surf the Internet with your mind if you had enough consciousness. I see two ways of this being possible: The first is an upgrade to your "physical brain" like an intelligent version of neural ink. Which is just imagination going around the imagined boundaries. The second is collapsing all the boundaries so that you just actually surf the Internet with your fucking mind. I understand now when you say you can literally surf the web with your mind. Is that amount of intelligence even possible before your body expires? Like I can understand how this is possible if you had a body that lived forever. @Leo Gura do you think you'll be able to surf the internet with your mind given your currently perceived lifespan for your body? -- What is a brain that lives forever? Haha. We are living in God's brain right now. And if you can merge your Consciousness with God's brain, then you can surf the Internet with your Mind. (Mind with a capital M.) -- Yo, me again. The curing of cancer will come from a process of loving and appreciating what cancer is. Through the appreciation, you will cultivate the understanding how to intelligently manage the relationship between your body and what you call cancer. Also, at the same time, The cure for cancer is the prevention of cancer itself. The cure of aging is possible too. Study the understanding of David Sinclair to gain understanding about aging and how you can stop it. He might be a decent resource, I don't know. https://hubermanlab.com/dr-david-sinclair-the-biology-of-slowing-and-reversing-aging/ If you FULLY UNDERSTAND AND INTEGRATE the knowledge of aging throughout your ENTIRE LIFE, you can live EASILY to the age of 200. I'm talking about a MEGA integrated holistic understanding here. -- You need a massive net of understanding to have complete and total confidence in your actions. -- Mentally retarded people are natural beings of love because of a loss of ego from a lack of imagined boundaries and projected judgement. ADHD people are simply people that have a holistic brain. ADHD people have an increased capacity to integrate all the information at a holistic, holonic level. No shit they seem distracted! They are literally trying to balance all the relationships between the infinite intelligence of reality all at once. FASD people have tapped into the more creative side of their brain. They are more free to just be. The gift of dysfunction. You're given the gift of imagining how to weave a net of understanding to heal those boundaries that have been "broken". You're given the gift of learning how to give what you need to yourself. Give what you want to yourself. I need to read the book, The gifts of Imperfection. ### ### ### Insights around Love Understanding Love I think I might have tapped into an tiny understanding of what it means to tap into God's love. God's love is having a massive understanding of something to the point that you notice the absolute of it Beauty of it in itself. Only THEN you love it. I want to learn how to love my father. As he his, right now, independent of who I want him to be. God has given me everything in my life so I can learn how to love it. And now I am learning to love one of the most difficult to love people. It takes true strength to love those that exist outside of your egoic agenda. I am learning how to appreciate the intelligence of my father, no matter how stupid I once thought he was. I am learning how to appreciate the intelligence in him manifesting here, right now, as himself. I love my father for what he is, right now, I don't need him to be anything else. -- I love you, the reader. And if I don't, I want to learn how. Manifestation is nothing more than learning how to love. -- There was so much love that manifested to bring me into this world. -- What is "hymsing"? THIS is hymsing. All MUSIC is hymsing. MUSIC IS MADE UP OF SONGS THAT PRAISE GOD! ENJOY IT! ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF GOD! I remember Leo saying something similar where music was literally God's way of communicating his love. YOUR ONE JOB IS TO LOVE GOD. YOUR ONE JOB IS TO BASK IN THE HOLINESS OF GOD! NIRVANA! That is your job. That is your task. YOUR errand-to-run is for you to learn how to have your consciousness merge with the rest of reality. You are HIRED to learn how to love everything in reality. Your profession is the "Lover of God". That's YOU. That's your fucking MISSION! Have I made my point clear enough for you? To love is to appreciate the beauty, the complexity, the illusion, what is. To love is to APPRECIATE what is. > To really love is to appreciate what is, for itself, as itself, as it manifests, raw, right now, COMPLETELY independent of what it can do for your ego. You love it simply because it exists. And you also love what doesn't exist because you appreciate the design of it not currently existing. You appreciate it existing as non-existence. You appreciate the intelligence of it all. Imagine appreciating something so hard it becomes physical. >This is precisely how God creates. (Maybe idk) -- Think about fundamentalist Christianity. Think about the idea of dying and going to heaven. That idea in itself separates you from reality. Separates you from loving reality, as it is, right here. That idea of heaven being somewhere else IMPLIES heaven isn't HERE. The idea of heaven instantly demonizes the reality that is right here! You need to contemplate: What is heaven? What Is this word pointing to? In this experience, right now. is it a state of consciousness? Then what is the afterlife?? If you are ever feeling bad, you're not appreciating something enough. You're not appreciating the magnificence that is here right now. Not only that, BUT, how magnificent it is that you can become conscious of it in your "perceptions". God creates "other" to learn how to appreciate itself. That's what you are doing right now, "separate" from God. ( I think ) Whatever you fear, is simply just you not yet awakening to the INTENSITY of that part of God yet. (Pain tolerance is LITERALLY just your ability to merge with the intensity of God's love.) ( I understand now why Leo says he is in AGONY with God's love. TRAUMATIZING levels of God's love. I GET WHAT HE MEANS BY THIS NOW!) Re-contextualize bad with intense. There's no "pain", there's intensity. There's no "suffering" , there's "threshold". Your one job here is to learn how to appreciate absolutely everything. Learn, how, to appreciate. Appreciation will heal your body. Appreciate your (imaginary ) brain by feeding it the best food. If you appreciate your body, you put in the food that's good for it. If you appreciate your body, you workout the muscles so it can be healthy. If you appreciate your body, you massage your sore muscles. If you appreciate your body, you give it the sleep it needs. If you appreciate your body, you learn how to nurture it. Nutrition literally boils down to this question: "Is this good for my body?". If you appreciate the body then you show it through your actions. ### ### ### Appreciation Learning how to live the best life is learning how to appreciate the things that would give you the best life. Appreciate routine. Appreciate nutrition. Appreciate exercise. Appreciate learning. Appreciate sleep. Appreciate your practice routines. Learn to appreciate what gives you life. Learn what these things give you. Me the teacher, will be teaching YOU exactly how to appreciate your routines. By making you incredibly conscious of how it gives you life. -- Guys, MANIFESTATION IN a NUTSHELL boils down to this one question: How do I love that thing? How can I appreciate the intelligence? To Love is to appreciate the intelligence so much that you erase the perceived boundaries between you and the thing you're loving. ### ### ### Insights about Awakening and Enlightenment At some point in the trip I had the total vibe of "I AM" going on. Anyways... Pay Attention to THIS Understand THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE, THAT will get you enlightenment if you REALLY understand these ideas/ what these ideas are pointing to, you will finally get it. It is important to study the opposites of these words as well! Those are pointers too! I believe my awakening is going to be a manifestation of deeply understanding all these points, combined with an experience on 5meo. All of these imaginations, ideas, and understandings of reality, building a scaffolding. Merge your imagination with reality and that's how you merge your Enlightenment into reality. Enlightenment is NOTHING but a manifestation of understanding. (I believe) What is called an "enlightenment" is just that CLICK between your old understanding and your new, re-contextualized understanding. "An enlightenment occurring" is the very moment where you fully merge your old understanding with your new re-contextualized understanding. Where you make that leap of faith, that jump. I realize when you hit enlightenment. You have to COMPLETELY relearn how to integrate this new understanding into your survival in reality. You have to relearn how to live your imagined life, because NOW you are living under a completely new re-contextualization. ENLIGHTENMENT IS ONLY CRAZY BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH A SHITTY SYSTEM DEMONIZING SUCH HOLY UNDERSTANDING! If you grasped the absolute in a PERFECTLY intelligent and healthy society, it would be the most amazing gift, not a "oh god oh fuck" moment. You learning from Leo right here is to couch your awakening journey in a nice fluffy high-net of knowledge. RATHER than hitting the fucking ground, not understanding what the fuck happened. You need to start consciously enacting beliefs that surround your enlightenment such that by the time you become enlightened, your social dynamics and relationships will be taken care of. Start using language that you think the enlightened you would use. I'm realizing now if I were to ever release a teaching on psychedelics, I would need to massively FIRST stress the safety of psychedelics. -- Safety is what people most care about when Leo teaches the wildly powerful things. What people call "dangerous". Many people that close their minds to Leo are simply people that think he is unsafe. Leo, have you thought about making a teaching on "How to safely use a teacher/teaching". I know safety is stressed in your videos about cults, ideology, self-deception, dangers of psychedelics, etc. But I think it would be valuable if you stressed just this one idea very explicitly. There are a lot of traps I see with becoming too attached to one guru and having that be your main anchor, and as a result, you could use one teacher as your barometer for all the other teachers and teachings. Which causes bias problems. Which is definitely what I've been doing. Maybe stressing the point that you need to integrate several perspectives? I think it would be highly valuable if it came from you. I think it would also give you more credibility. Just a thought. @Leo Gura please share me your feedback on this idea. -- >I was really finding it useful to deeply question what the fuck "physical" actually means. This blows apart reality. 9 hours in, still have Visuals. ### I have fallen in love with my hand over here, appreciating the beauty of god's imagination. I'm on hour 16 at 4:33 AM with visuals still present. Still going strong, writing up a storm over here. ### 19 hours in, Still got visuals. I think when I do acid, I am literally high for OVER 20 HOURS... So when I do acid I'm forced to turn it into a good trip. Because "waiting it out" is simply a non option. I am on hour 21 of my trip and shit is still moving. It is 9:42 AM the next day. ### ### ### Teaching So I thought a lot about teaching I feel like the teacher that I will become will be a combination of Wayne Dyer, Leo Gura, Ralph Smart, and Prince EA. I could make videos explaining why I love something. That is the ultimate structure of when I teach anything. Explaining my love for reality. I want to learn how to become the BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD! I WILL GET RIPPED AS FUCK, BEAUTIFUL AS FUCK, INTELLIGENT AS FUCK, GODLY AS FUCK, APPROACHABLE AS FUCK, LOVEABLE AS FUCK, etc. etc. etc. if that means my teaching will be received better. Basically, I want to become the best, whatever that may mean. When I think about making a teaching, do I make it in simple terms? Do I explain it in the fewest, surest words possible? What is gained and what is lost with stressing nuance? I need to contemplate: Complexity vs Simplicity of a teaching. If you want to learn something, teach it. In learning you will teach and in teaching you will learn. The best teacher is a teacher of teachers. Why? Because if you are a REAL student, then you also teach, because you KNOW that teaching helps you. Notice the relationship between teacher and student. I can make an amazing motivational speech where it's all about an INTERVENTION. It's an intervention to awaken you to take responsibility, an intervention to slap you in the face to appreciate the beauty of God Teaching Technique I need to create a video of a conversation of me teaching someone else. I'll have someone in the background of who I teach. I'll have a friend in the background of who I teach. I'll have an online friend in the background of a voice call. Whatever. Just to have the person in front of me to make it real. I'll just cut out the parts that are the awkward in-betweens. Imagine merging the intimacy of interviews and podcasts with teaching videos. Why do we love to learn from a podcast? Simply because it's a capturing of the intimacy of a 1 on 1 conversation. -- I need to practice writing out my insights with a beginning, middle, and end. I need to practice writing posts here. Helping you integrate Leo's teachings. I want to teach you how to use the ideas (that come from this guy named Leo) and how to weave the lessons into your life. And then I need to practice marketing that. -- When I speak into the camera, I am assuming an audience. When I speak to a person, I am assuming things about them. So why not assume them to be the best person? Assume that they're extremely intelligent Assume that they're beautiful. Assume that they're capable of being loved. Assume that they're curious. Assume that they're serious about life. Assume that there's a philosopher that lives in everyone. Assumptions like these could help the teaching. -- If I really wanted to show you my appreciation for you, I would make sure I have the best audio quality. I would make sure the audio motivates you. If I really wanted to show my appreciation for you, I would have really good camera setup. I would have a great background. Picture perfect background. I would present myself in the most beautiful way possible. If I really appreciated you, I'd make a video that will change your life. If I ever make a video that changes your life, it's because I love you. -- I think I understand what it means to be fooled. When I trick you, you end up using your imagination to imagine something that's not even real. And you do it so effortlessly. The power of assumption everybody! The best value I can provide for you is the exact piece of information that you need for your exact next step. Therefore, me being a teacher just one step ahead of you is actually the best place for me to be. Not as a teacher 20 steps ahead of you, but one. That is where the real value is perceived. Why? Because you can only see one step of ahead of you anyways. Most people don't have vision. If I want to create massive amounts of understanding I just look at a text and then create massive lattice structures integrating that one piece of knowledge. I can pick out an insight, and weave understanding between the insight and examples of how to implement it into your daily life. I can make tons of videos like that. I want to be the best Teacher in the world! I want to be a MASTER at Teaching. If you want to be the best teacher in the world, then contemplate and integrate deeply the fruits of all these questions, and then some: (I could expand on all of these... But that is what I will contemplate in my own time.) What is Love? What is a Salesman? - Isn't a teacher just a salesman of ideas? What is an entertainer? - How does being entertaining enhance your teaching? What is a comedian? - What is a comedy routine? How can you use that idea to increase your teaching ability? - I have to create teaching practice routines the same way a comedian creates his comedy routine. I need to practice forming relationships from one idea to another. This is teaching in a nutshell, you are manifesting understanding between different ideas. Connecting one piece of reality to another through language. What is a Parent? What does it mean to parent? How is it closely related to being a teacher? - Being a parent is being a teacher with full responsibility for that individual. What is a Marketer? What is a Storyteller? What is a Helper? What is a Server? What does it mean to serve? What is a listener? What is a really good listener? What is fun? How do you master fun? What is a preacher? What is conviction? How does remembering, the ability to hold ideas on your consciousness while explaining other parts of consciousness, impact your ability to teach something? What is Surrender? What is Submission? What is an Illusionist? What makes up a master illusionist? What is a magician? What is magic? What does it mean to demand something from someone? What does it mean to merge your consciousness with another beings consciousness? What is a Lawyer? What is Communication? What is an Editor? How does Nutrition play a part of teaching? How does it play a part of learning? What is a Designer? What is a Manager? How do assumptions play a roll in the teaching process? What is a Leader? What is Leadership? How can I use Movement to Enhance my teaching? What is a speaker? What is an Orator? What makes a great orator? What is an Actor? What is a teacher? What is a guru? What is a sage? What is God? How could I be the most actualized, integrated, holistic, holy embodiment of God to make this vessel a great teacher? What is a Master? What is God? How can Boundary setting enhance teaching? What are Boundaries? What is an instructor? What is another person? (And how does that enhance my ability to learn from it?) - I could imagine another person in the room with a certain set of knowledge, and my job as a teacher would be to weave the interconnected web between his understanding and my understanding. What is a human that holds the utmost integrity with his understanding of reality? - Who is the man that maintains an intelligent relationship between his understandings and his teachings and the individual people that are ? What is the BEST thing you can say to someone right NOW that would maximize the love of the universe? What is a Lover? What is Language? What is an Man that is a master of Language? What is an eloquent man? What is a fluent man? What is a well spoken man? What is a silver-tongued man? What is a Lesson? What is a Lecture? What is a Curriculum? What is Knowledge? What is Learning? How does silence impact teaching? How does pacing impact teaching? What does structure have to do with learning? What does network have to do with learning? What is self-actualization? What is manifestation? How does Metaphysics and Epistemology impact teaching? What is Appreciation? - How does showing appreciation enhance my teaching? Why are questions so important in the teaching process? What is value? - How can the understanding of value enhance my teaching? What is Selfishness? What is Ego? What is Self? What is Paradigm? What is Belief? What is Ideology? What sparks Open-Mindedness? What creates Close-Mindedness? How does someones Development impact your teachings? - Spiral Dynamics - Stages of Ego Development - Understanding Trauma Also, when you contemplate these questions, add in, "What does it mean to be a masterful x?" Penetrate to the essence of that idea, and then figure out how to crossover that essence to the art of teaching. For example, "What does it mean to be a masterful Lawyer?" Also ask yourself, How does my understanding of x correlate with teaching? What I'm saying is that, for example, If you embody the comedian in you, your teachings will be more enjoyable to listen to, and I will merge with your teachings MORE. If you merge with the entertainer within you I will MERGE with your teachings MORE! And so on. If you merge with the ideals of all these things listed above you will become the best embodiment of a teacher. Your communications will become pure gold. ### ### ### 10AM the next day… See there I am the next day and I end up learning how to listen to my mother for the first time in a whole new way. I am now selfless enough to be an authentically curious listener. The perfect therapist, the perfect life coach, the perfect teacher is one that can LISTEN. One that can love. My ability to love is going to guide the world into the direction of Nirvana. I healed the relationship between me and my dogs, I’ve healed the relationship between me and my father, I've deepened my relationship with my mother. I did a yoga session guided by my mom and I realized that your desire to balance perfectly is just a reflection of your love for God, and because I want to show my love for God, my love for reality, my love for God's creation, I want to balance the best I can. I want to do the most perfect yoga poses to show my respect for God. When I am doing yoga, I'm in church. When I open my body up, I receive God's love and I appreciate the magnificence. I fell asleep at about 2-4 p.m. the next day. Only an hour later, I wake up with like the worst anxiety attack ever. Like my fingers were trembling in such a horrific way that I was slamming my fingers against the wall to distract myself from it... and the pain didn't matter because the horror of the sensations in my fingers was worse than the pain. If I had a gun I could have put it to my head and pulled the trigger. There's something about my body, when I get such deep sleep deprivation, my mind and body go fucking AWOL. It's so predictable now that anytime I am sleep deprived that much I pretty much expect the anxiety attack to come, and I'm like "fuck me dude...". So one of my biggest challenges with using psychedelics is making sure that it doesn't keep me up for too long because if I am up for too long and I am to sleep deprived I literally start to lose my mind in a unhealthy unpleasant psychotic way. My fingers feel as if they are folding in on themselves. My mind feels like an infinite calculation that can't even get 2x3 correct. It's impossible to explain. It's MEGA fucked. Like MEGA MEGA MEGA fucked up. It is hell beyond hell. It's so much hell that a suicide would be a RELIEF. So the way I ended up dealing with his anxiety attack is I went to my mother asking her to help me in a panic, she helped me get dress up and put some calming yoga music in to have a walk outside in the winter cold. It was super fucking cold out guys. I was in such distress and suffering that I could not stand my experience at all. I think I'd rather have a bad Salvia trip than to have the experiences I get from sleep deprivation. It's almost like my mind tries to grasp the infinite in a super unhealthy way. When I was suffering I cried to myself, "I'm sorry God I'm sorry!" over and over, like I was having a 1 on 1 conversation with "him", talking to myself. I was walking and I was feeling the presence of gods love and I thanked him for this anxiety attack because it was a lesson for me to appreciate the intelligence of going to bed on time and getting enough sleep. I feel like I can talk to god with a one on one conversation. I was so surprised how easy the anxiety attack fell away with just a simple walk in the cold with some peaceful yoga music. I only walked for what was probably 10 minutes. I came back inside, undressed, and then went to lie down in my bed, and I still felt the "fuckyness" in my fingers very subtly, so I distracted myself from it and then fell asleep. So I end up waking up at about midnight, so like hour 36 or something since I initially dropped the tab of LSD, I couldn't sleep anymore. It is 3 a.m. now as I am writing this. The Holiness of my experience has faded quite a bit. But yeah, the same time I still feel somewhat enriched on a deeper level. But I feel my ego in the morning filling me with shame, clamping down on me, calling myself deluded and filling my heart and soul with judgement. I can see this just being a process of the ego shedding itself and it will cling on and shame you in any way it can before it's completely gone. The amount of fantastical states that I was in was absolutely crazy, but at the same time, if you're in that fantastical state, and you put it towards good, you can change the world in such a positive way. After all, to bring a new reality in the "physical" world, you must first imagine it in your mind's eye. I was an absolute Super Genius while on that trip and I became my absolute most loving manifestation of myself and it created an example for me of the high ideal that I could eventually fully embody in my sober everyday life. It's going to take me several years to fully integrate this what I saw in the past 40 hours. Everything in reality became pure magic. Color. It is as if every single atom shined with its absolute most brilliant colour made out of the Holiness of God's light. The absolute clarity of consciousness, manifesting as orbs, consciousness taking shape of every color being perfectly the way it is. I can fall in love with my hand. The Holiness of God's love is creating your hand right now. The Holiness of God's love is creating everything and when you see this amount of love from God, even the most ugly things become the most beautiful because you see it as the absolute manifestation of love that it is. Everything in life is the most hardcore embodiment of God's love and it is your JOB to see that. Even as I write this now I am feeling enriched with God's love. I can look at the wrinkles in my mothers face and appreciate and love that as it is, right now, because it just simply a creation of God's intelligence, right now. What I believe I got was a mega small glimpse into the beauty of consciousness. Being able to stare at a fork and cry at its magnificence is somewhere in the realm of possibility now. I am getting close. It is only a matter of time before I reach my first real Awakening. I suspect this will happen when I do 5-MeO-DMT. I don't even have fear anymore about 5-MeO-DMT because I know that I will just be embraced in God's absolute love. I cry right now writing that sentence. My body and my vessel has been able to let go and cry at the beauty of God now. I look outside and I see the mountains, the beauty of God's sunlight caressing his amazing creations in the mountains. I understand now why the best songs are songs about love, it's the amazing drama of the merge between two pieces of consciousness. I remember when Leo said that's going to take a couple years for your life to be fucking awesome, well, after 2-3 years of work, I am starting to glimpse that now. My life started to feel like pure Magic in these glimpses. Leo you could not have told me it was this good. Oh my God. I had faith in you, I had faith your teachings and here I am NOW, enjoying the fruit. and I'm just getting started. >It reminds me of the end of the video "Life Advice for Young People Part 2" where Leo cries and says: (Timestamped Video) >YOU LITERALLY CANNOT COMMUNICATE HOW GOOD THIS GETS! >As a teacher I will be able to also appreciate this struggle of communication. Leo, one day, 5-10 years from now, I will really understand. I promise. It is 43 hours later and I think I'm still getting visuals. Okay so what are the meta points of this trip? I have massively increased my understanding of the following Love Appreciation Nutrition Teaching Boundaries Relationship Language Communication Tons more shit. INTEGRATION: Figuring out how to organize what I write in this trip report to my own personal notepads. By the time it is posted here on the forum, it should be completely integrated in that way. Really think through, using a journal, contemplate: The Brain, Consciousness, Perception, Being-ness, and the relationship between them all. Deepening all of my understanding of the insights here, going through all the combinations and permutations to weave massive nets of understanding to enrich and spiritualize my life. Post trip Report... Days later when going back to my heavy stage orange job, there is no stage green or higher in sight where I currently work. The magic of reality faded, and I learned from Leo's video of explaining his awakening experience that this is actually normal. https://www.actualized.org/articles/enlightenment-experience-explanation So yeah I definitely experienced that fading effect. It makes me think about how there are many people that have had awakening experiences, mystical experiences, and how over time it fades. There was a the day right after, for the whole solid day, where reality just felt like pure magic. I want to get back to that. I want to be able to see the divine everywhere and be able to look at a fork and cry at its beauty. Is there any better tips on integration? My current plan is, loads of learning, inquiry, contemplation, and also deep psychedelic trips while contemplating. I think I just need to keep hitting those peak experiences to break my consciousness loose. 2 Weeks Later... I've noticed that I'm able to communicate a whole lot more genuinely, my emotions just flow more into my conversation when it is recognizing the beauty and potential in someone. Everybody is lovable, and is worthy of love, it just takes an intelligent being to be able to love everything so effortlessly. I've noticed that I see beauty in places that I previously didn't before. Like pebbles on the ground, or slushy snow, or ice all mixed with dirt, how at night when you have a headlamp on you see all the little speckles, the twinkling of light reflecting off the snow and ice in an infinite amount of ways. I am actually able to appreciate a nice pile of dirt more than I have previously been able to. The ground in general has upped its beauty level. I fucking LOVE my hand. These exercises that Leo has us doing looking at our hand is brilliant! I can just look at my hand while at work and immediately, I'm reminded of my love for God. I have lots of confidence now to do 5meo, (rectally). But I think I want to do a few more trips on shrooms and LSD before that, as I'm aware that once you touch god you see him everywhere, and it potentiates your trips on every other substance. I also want to do a proper amount of study on 5meo before I take it. I respect my body a lot more now, I take care of it more with giving it sleep, nutrition, massaging sore muscles, not overexerting it, working out to strengthen it, etc. If you read the whole post, you the real MVP.
