@LoveandPurpose Could you be more specific? 

[Leo Gura]

@LoveandPurpose Well, academia is a very obvious option.

The whole point of being a tenured professor is that you can basically research whatever the hell you want. You can even get government grants for your research and hire research assistants.

Thanks for the reminder. I think it’s about time I shift my research into how psychedelics stimulate neural plasticity. And there are enough Green-level undergraduates excited to research it.

@Serotoninluv @Leo Gura Are you aware of Raphael Milliere and his (and partners) research into ego loss/psychedelics/meditation?https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01475/full

[Leo Gura]

@dmwrss Nope

But I find this statement from the research very funny:

Quote

"There has been considerable debate about whether purely conscious states are even possible. Some have argued that they are impossible because one cannot be conscious without being conscious of anything at all.."

Lol, clearly the dude who wrote that has not smoked enough 5-MeO-DMT.

But it's very interesting research.

Personality psychology

Question is, is it a trade which brings you do self actualization or is self actualization a interest which brings you towards psychology.

[LoveandPurpose]

@UDT The second one. But I just realized through your question that I'm not really interested in psychology as a whole but rather in self-actualization.
