@Leo Gura Previously you mentioned that you shouldn't be listening to music while your tripping because it can be a distraction. 

Do you still think that it can be a distraction? Because part of me thinks it still is.

My deepest trips were done without music.

Music is good for lighter trips or to boost mood or in the afterglow phase.

But if you want to get some serious work done, turn off the music at the peak.

The reason I said that music can be a distraction is that it becomes too beautiful and hypnotizing, luring the psychonaut away from contemplation. Music on psychedelics is like a siren song. But we don't trip for pleasure, we trip for insight. I'm careful not to turn tripping into a pleasure-seeking activity.

@Leo Gura tell me if you like this one!

 

[Leo Gura]

@iceprincess It's decent. The XX is usually pretty good.

[Gili Trawangan]

Nice!

I've actually just put out a song that could fit in. It's very much tied with awakening. Should I share it here or is that a bad idea? I wouldn't want to impose...

[Leo Gura]

@Gili Trawangan You can share it, but that doesn't mean we will like it

Interesting. I see the obviousness of how this is true.

But still in the peak, "when "I am at the edge of dissolving and I finally do. I become the music, the boundary is gone, the music is you, a story about you, it speaks to you, of the way you are. Can feel very contemplative.

Nice playlist btw

Here is smt beautiful for you guys.

Of course

But the highest truth is silent.

I tell you what. You all need some tripplbee in your lives. This song was inspired by Leo!! what do you guys and girls think of this song.? It's got some edge to it. Mostly stage green with a hint of red for a little added spice. Creativity is life.

Hahaha, the irony. I had a really smart friend in Taurus who also hated BoC and was into chillstep (he was a heavy consumer of LSD) but a few years later he started listening to their songs a lot. You should give them a try, really ? Although, I think that you should have a certain state of mind to understand their music... it's definitely not for everybody ?

@Member I'm very picky about my music.

That's good ? For me, music is more than a form of art, it's like a lover speaking to me. But of course, you need to speak the same language in order to fall in love with it. I would recommend you more chillstep songs but I'm not really a fan of this genre ?

Guru has picky taste eh!

The best mushroom trip I ever had was listening to shamanic drumming this one got me in a serious state - 

 

 

[Leo Gura]

I don't like ambient type music which has a lot of monotonous droning or long pad sounds. It wears on the mind. A lot of space music tends to be like that.

[Preety_India]

I like nature music. It helps me to chill out. 

Those long nature recorded sounds on YouTube.

[Leo Gura]

I like rainforest nature sound recordings, with birds, rainshowers, frogs, and thunder.
