Psychedelics Are (Not) a Magic Pill

[Verg0]

I've created this presentation about the paradox and nuances of psychedelic practice. 

I would be very curious about what you think. Especially regarding the second half of the video where I go into non dual perspectives regarding the synergy between psychedelics and spiritual practice. 

 

 

This is a Video about DMT X which I can't seem to remove from this post ....  (Feel free to remove it)

@Verg0 I like the helicopter/ mountain climb analogy. 
 

once you get the glimpse and maybe a couple of other realisations and insights about how the reality is created, there is no need or purpose to go into that state or chase that state again while trying to master or experience being a human ( or any other form). The experience is the climb and taking in all the smaller experiences along the way. Enjoying exploring the things you come across ( and getting to know them/ discover them or dare I say creating them as you attach a narrative while dissecting them further)

 

even getting to the peak by climbing you are not going to sit there forever. You eventually go back down into the various different things that fragment and separate to greater degrees the further down the mountain you go till you find a civilisation of beings, plants, animal, elements, stories and concepts blanketing them all while all of it derived from the very uniform substance/minerals at the peak of the mountain.

my own journey has shown what ‘is’ and how it works. There’s nothing more to do but descend back into the dream/illusion/reality and ‘evolve’ the mind through the adversity of the experiences. 
 

the relation to others has become about teaching the fundamentals of the mind ( thought, emotion, action/reaction) to guide people away from suffering ( mental anguish and its distinction from injury that doesn’t necessitate suffering) so it frees them to explore in whatever way they choose be it seeking the absolute or just creating a business, family, traveling the world, inventing something or expressing through the arts. It’s up to them and none of my concern. I just choose that as a purpose to guide and help while I am here doing my own work. 
 

I could keep doing psychedelics but at some point it turns into bypassing personal work and chasing bliss states which I know I can create while sober. It’s all in the level to which the mind is entrenched in belief. But I also don’t rule it out as sometimes it’s a nice bit of respite to go home every now and then. I also don’t really teach or speak much about advanced spirituality anymore as it doesn’t help anyone so I just explore it by myself. Being that it is a direct experiential of the absolute at that level there is no one else to tell so it is a pointless exercise if others have not or do not experience it for themselves. What I find is Most people are just trying to liberate themselves from trauma and behaviour patterns or trying to escape their reality because they can’t cope but they don’t even know most of the problem is coming from them. Cracking that cage open for someone is a difficult task especially when what is in the cage is likely to bite you out of fear. 
 

I liked your video and there are certainly some nice ways of phrasing various things that I would find useful when guiding others ( especially those who insist psychedelics show you the truth and get lost in conspiracy and delusion) seeing it as something of an external story Co opted by the ego and continuing to refuse self Inquiry or even the severe lack of integration or help I’ve come across in plant medicine retreats or communities.

@Verg0 I still wait for your promised episode where you want to talk about 5 Meo vape pen usage in recreational way you said you have some cool stories to tell, looking forward to.

Good channel and thanks for the work.

[Davino]

@Verg0 Oh that's you!!! Your work is really good in the psychonaut field.

[James123]

@Verg0 very nice post brother. Thanks for sharing. 

[Verg0]

@Adrian colby Thanks for your comment, it resonates and I enjoyed reading it! It reminded me of the Ten-Ox-Herding pictures and similar concepts. 

Interesting that you came to the point where Psychedelics seem like bypassing. Many come to this place, but I haven't arrived there yet. 

[Verg0]

@OBEler Oh yeah, I remember! That vid is still coming, could just take a while! 

I am actually exploring 5-MeO-DMT at the moment again and find it very fascinating. 

[Verg0]

@Davino Yeah, it`s me! 

Thanks! Much appreciated!

How do you explore it again? Low dose 1:4 vape pen again?

Hope your Tinnitus is gone. Looking forward for your next 5 Meo video.

[Verg0]

@OBEler  

I am playing around with the 1:12, 1:4 and also the 1:2 vape pens. 

I have figured I might need a 1-1 to get to a one hit breakthrough. 

 

Tinnitus is still there, but it became so normal for me that I am barely thinking of it. 

 

A video Livestream about my recent 5-Meo experiences is out now:

@Verg0 wow this video sounds interesting thanks!
