Question about short lasting psychedelics

So is there a point of deep tripping or taking higher doses? Any benefits from that? Or you recommend always sticking to lower doses? 

There is much point. But counterbalanced by the risk.

Consciousness cannot be understood without deep trips.

My protocol for high doses is the following:

 

1. Decide on the dose a few days ahead of time. If you want to redose or take a second substance, decide this ahead of time. These decisions should not be made while intoxicated or sporadically. (DMT while peaking on acid is super interesting. It is a lot though. Once was enough for me).

2. leading up to the trip, avoid other intoxicants, major dopamine kicks (cell phone usage, video games, porn).  I found I am able to go deeper if I do this. 

3. Remove any weapons, sharp objects, or anything that you feel would be a bad vibe or unsafe. Stick it in the trunk of your car. Plan to give your keys to your trip sitter and make a commitment to not touch your phone. Also, clean your room. There’s nothing worse than laying on the ground and noticing  dirt and crumbs everywhere. 
 

4. This should be a no brainer, but take a shit and piss before you dose. It’s crazy how much stress and anxiety not taking care of your bodily functions can cause when you are so fucked up you don’t even realize you need to go.

5. Have a friend or family member you trust come over to trip sit you. I use the term trip sit loosely.  I would generally isolate myself to a dark room in my home and maybe have some frequencies playing.  They just hang out in the living room. I don’t interact with them until I’m coming out of the trip.  
 

Every solo high dose experience I have had was set up like this. Having someone in the other room makes me have an easier time letting go. If I start having thoughts like “what if I hurt myself” or “what if something goes wrong”, I just remember I have a competent person in the other room that can handle an emergency if it occurs. This does the trick for me and I have had great experiences with this.  Honestly group trips and small dose solo experiences that don’t follow this protocol have felt more challenging and less safe.

I often imagined building a small, soundproof room with padded walls, like in psychiatric wards, made for heavy trips.

I always thought about making a mirror room that makes the Infinity effect for tripping and meditation. Well in fact, that is the original reason for temples to be constructed, architecture designed for higher consciousness and devolpment supportive ecosystems.

It depends on what you're aiming for.

New perspectives, little shift in consciousness, ego check, desire to reconnect briefly with the trascendental -> Low doses

Spiritual work, meditation, yoga, contemplation, deconstruction -> Medium doses

Awakenings, Breakthroughs, God-Realizations -> High Doses

Uncharted territories, danger, insanity, overdose, physical death -> Massive doses

 

Honestly I think they all have their value but the biggest ilusion shattered for me has been in the massive doses domain. More is sometimes less, there's a sweet spot in the ammount of substance to take for Awakening. My biggest Malt dose was very dissapointing, it was crazy energetic breakthrough and crazy unmeadiated consciousness; but no Awakening, no God, just handling the Malt and riding the dragon kinda trip. So fine tune each substance and each dose for the task at hand; like the inspired painter chooses the correct brush with the right ammount of paint.

the awakening was so unbelievable grandiose that I pissed all over my bedroom and sprinted butt naked out of the house and into the city. Where luckily the police took care of me.

I did something similar in a stage green festival. Took a big dose of mushrooms, went into the woods, took all my clothes off, and started screaming with an energy coming so deep from within myself I would never ever ever imagine I possessed such capacity. It was a huge awakening where I became the whole Universe and these screams were bursts of energy flowing from parts of myself into other parts, like volcanos communicating with each other around a planet.

I screamed so loud that the security guards found me and luckily handled the situation gracefully.

Deep tripping will unleash energies within you which you never even knew you had.
