Yeah, that's why 5-MeO's are prefered.

I have tried most of those. They tend to blur together in my memory so I can't give a clear difference between them, and it would be different for your brain anyway. -MPT, -McPT, and -MIPT tend to be preferable to me.

Nothing IS Consciousness. That's what you are missing. But also, once you are free of the human dream other higher dreams become possible. Attachment to the human dream precludes more advanced dreams.

I don't remember the precise differences but they can very different. Just depends. You can't treat then as the same just because the chemical letters are similar. One letter can make a big difference.

None of them do much. 5-MeO-MALT or 5-MeO-MIPT are the most visual. MALT has neon magenta visuals/vibes. MIPT has more body feel and emotions.

Okay. See you in death.

Obviously he needs social media marketing to get people into the Free Tour. He also sold a lot of Hot Seats from the Free Tours. It's a great, efficient business model.

The MPTs and MIPTs are pretty good. 4-HO-MPT 4-HO-MIPT 4-Aco-MPT 4-AcO-MIPT All worth trying.

That's the tricky balancing act of politics. You have to bullshit the public but do it in a way that they perceive as "authentic". Because if you are really authentic you will not get elected because society is built on lies. See, Trump mastered the art of spewing pure bullshit but making half the country think he's being authentic. That's why Trump won. The problem with Dems is that their bullshit fails to come across as convincing. Trump got away with it because he told the stupidest half of the populace exactly what their reptile brain wanted to hear. It is much easier to bullshit people when your bullshit feeds their basest reptile instincts. Then they ignore that it's bullshit.

Acceptance is one thing. Ending your formed life is entirely another.

Of course these are huge decisions which severely limit and shape your whole life. You mus be very intelligent in making these decisions, which is where most people screw up.

Authenticity in the domain of politics is a very loaded and tricky notion. No politician is allowed to be truly authentic, otherwise they would never get elected and the public would turn on them. Politics is not a domain for authenticity, honesty, and truth because the entire political system is built on lies, fantasies, and corruption. Look at cases where politicians accidentally let slip something truly honest. They are crucified for it by their political opponents. You can't be truthful in politics because your political opponents will immediately weaponize it against you to kick you out of power.

That pure formlessness is not a permanent state since you are alive. That's what being alive means: you have all sorts of forms happening to you. You are alive. To be alive is to be dreaming. To be alive is to be committed to dreaming. Even "enlightened" people are dreaming.

There is some suffering from not finding the right woman. But also that suffering is self-created. Most of that suffering comes from buying into the idea that you need a woman. It much depends on what you want out of life. Obviously if you want a family, if you want socialization, if you are extroverted, then you will suffer more from not having those things. This depends on your personality type. I am not actively dating, but if it lands in my lap I will not say no. I don't invest time into pursuing women at this point. This of course means I barely get women. But I might invest time into that in the future. My prioritizes change every year. Right now women are not my priority. The reason I don't invest time in pursuing women now is because it holds less meaning for me than it used to. It's very obvious to me that no woman will ever satisfy me. I've sort of deconstructed the fantasy/illusion of women. It is clear that they are just cheese in a rat maze. I still desire them, but I am also disillusioned with them. I am not opposed to relationships but I also don't spend much time dreaming for them. - - - - - - - None of this is to say you guys should copy me. I encourage you all to go burn through your karma and pursue your natural desires until you exhaust them. Don't try to act like a monk when you are full of unsatisfied desires. Being a monk should come organically, not be forced. Monk mode comes organically later in life once you've played out all the human games.

It depends. Both possibilities exist. If you go into the formlessness very deeply eventually you will reach a point of complete annihilation where there is not even bliss, love, orgasm, or anything -- just a total blank. It is such a high degree of Unity that you can't even call it Unity. It is so united that it has no distinct qualities. It is Unity but you cannot call or think it "Unity". It is Love but it is a Love too deep to even be called "Love". Just to think of reality as "Love" or "Unity" already requires a degree of separation and form. If you have complete formlessness you cannot even regard it as "formless", because "formless" is a form. However, you can also be conscious of formlessness while being in a state of form. You can think formlessness. You can comprehend it as Love. So there are multiple ways here. The common mistake is to try to reduce it to just one way. That's the error of the Buddhists.

What do you mean by "it"? The most advanced understanding of Consciousness cannot be modeled. Human growth can be somewhat modeled and that's what Wilber has done. I am at a point in my understanding that I don't use models to understand Consciousness.

Of course it matters. But you won't know which is best for you until you try. 4-AcO-DMT should be top of your list to try. It is the most potent of them.

You are asking for something impossible. Ken Wilber's insistence on mapping and modeling eventually becomes the biggest weakness in his work.

No, God is Good and God is Love. People are wrong and God is right.

His FreeTours made him tons of money. They were a vehicle for selling bootcamps. Bootcamps are like free money.

And the skunk thinks his smell is actually quite pleasant and beneficial for the world.

Because that's what lower consciousness creates. And God isn't just high consciousness, its the entire gamut of Consciousness. God holds space for all lower forms of consciousness. The lower the consciousness the more sadistic it is. Sadism is part of Consciousness.

Obviously the guys in the dating subforum should not be thinking about this. But being a monk is about being above society. The popular concepts of monks has been so watered down and misunderstood. Why do monks become monks? Because they finally realize that mainstream society is a madhouse of perverts and fools. But see, mainstream culture never tells you this. It acts as though monks are just these kinds, nice guys so never judge. No! Monks judge that you are totally full of shit and you are diseased perverts. But see, mainstream culture can never admit this about itself. Christians are so stupid they don't even understand that Jesus was a monk, why? Because he understood that the lifestyle of religous people is a disease. When you become deeply conscious you realize that mainstream society is a cancer.

But you compartmentalize in your mind the existence of your state from the ethnic cleansing needed to create it and also sustain it. Why noth both? Because the injustice from the taking of the land has created a hatred for you that will not die and will not give you peace in your nation. You expect the taking of the land to just be forgiven and forgotten, but that's not how humans work. Not to even mention that your top political leadership wants even more land and they run the show, not you.

You can be around normies as long as you don't have to live by their corrupt ways. But if you are too close to them long enough they will rope you into their corrupt ways. Which is why the wise live at a safe distance. Sick people always rope you into their sickness because they do not know health.
