@PopoyeSailor Yes, that's basically correct. Although I would add, all of that is occurring in YOUR/GOD'S consciousness. You are seeing that YOU/CONSCIOUSNESS has the potential for infinite dreams.

@zikzak I have vaping experience with various substances but not 5-MeO-DMT. Analogous to what you said above about dosing, you can plug as high a dose as you want until you pass out. It's not like plugging is limited in potency. It's just gonna be a smoother and longer trip rather than a sledgehammer to the head. To me the biggest downside of vaped DMT is how short and jarring the trip is. If I could plug DMT, I would. I only vape it because plugged doesn't work. And also vaping is bad for your lungs. I never have a problem with my 5-MeO-DMT trips being too weak. Not once have I come back from a 5-MeO-DMT trip and been like: "Well, that was nice, but I wish it was stronger and hit me 10x faster for 1/5th the time." Even plugged 5-MeO-DMT is too short for the kind of work we're interested in here. We want trips that are 3-4 hours long. Vaping that much DMT wears out my lungs.

@bazera Pretty much. It all depends on how deeply you buy into your own fantasies. Within a Christian's reality, Noah's Ark actually had dinosaurs on it and Jesus was actually born to a virgin.

Consciousness can dream up whatever it wants, including your pearly gated heaven. But that doesn't necessarily mean it exists "out there" somewhere in the ether. For it to exist, YOU must dream it up right now. What exists is whatever you put in your consciousness.

@SpaceLaika01 Good, but have some intermediate goals as well that you can realistically reach. Don't pin your life's work on any single thing. You want to start feeling the emotional payoff for your work by doing small projects and getting fan's reactions.

There is certainly no problem for an adult to go hiking or traveling by herself. No one is gonna kidnap you or even care. Your parents are just being paranoid because that's how parents are with their kids.

Don't sit back and hope for the world to become conscious some day. Roll up your sleeves and get to work making it more conscious. This is not a problem, this is an opportunity for you to shine. As you get engaged in life purpose work, your feelings of not being understood will start to become irrelevant as your work will reach out and touch thousands of people.

Get contacts, far superior to glasses.

Yes, this is all about how you carry yourself and make your approach. There are right and wrong ways to approach and set the proper first impression. You need to make sure your body language is non-threatening. You also need to be very chill and casual about it. You need to start off immediately by treating her as your girlfriend, not as a stranger. Whatever you feel will transfer onto her. If you are nervous, she will be nervous. If you feel awkward, she will feel awkward. After I stop her, the first thing I do is I immediately say something to take the edge off. Something like, "Hey, I know this seems random and weird, but I just saw you and thought you were cute. Don't worry, I'm not crazy or anything." And then YOU must carry the conversation. Don't just stop a girl cold and then look at her silently, expecting her to carry the conversation. You gotta start moving your mouth and engage her attention with interesting talk, not awkward silence nor peppering her with boring questions. It's also super-important that you SMILE on open. Be smiley. If you open her without smiling, that's your #1 mistake.

Yes, I have noticed that mushrooms and some 4-HO sub-type tryptamines give me a hangover the next day, while other psychedelics do not. 5-MeO has no hangover effects at all for me. Neither does DMT from what I recall although I'm less sure about DMT since I've done a lot less of it. You could experiment with various nootropic supplements or vitamins on the day after to see if they might take the edge off. I get the sense that the brain might simply be lacking nutrients the day after which were used up the day before. If you could supplement that lacking nutrient, theoretically you could stop the hangover. Let us know if you find something.

I use this krill oil: https://amzn.to/2EOdpte It looks premium, but hard to really feel the difference. You're sorta just trusting them on it.

Try drinking Slippery Elm bark every day for a few months. There are other natural supplements along those lines you should try out. Search online to find em. Also try juicing. Juicing seems to be power for healing gut issues. A huge glass of celery juice every morning. And you can try other juices too. Try that for a month at least. Also get tested for candida and other bacteria/parasites. Comprehensive stool testing can be important in this case. You can order test kits like this: https://www.doctorsdata.com/comprehensive-stool-analysis-w-parasitology-x3

That will depend on what kind of person you are. Some folks are more insiders, others are more suited to be outsiders. I'm a strong outsider because I'm very clear in my vision and very independent. Collaboration isn't my cup of tea. But your personality might be the opposite.

I'm speculating here, but I think what was really going on was that Jerry was cheating on his wife for years and as a way to compensate they came to this arrangement of an open marriage where each would sleep around with whoever they wanted, but maintain the appearance of a traditional marriage because, hey, gotta keep up those good ol Christian family values. I get the sense that their marriage became stale and died long ago, and they just never got divorced because it was too convenient to officially be together. I'm sure we'll hear more stories in the future about who Jerry was banging behind the scenes while all this was going on.

Sometimes the most connected you'll feel is when you're alone.

Lots of stuff is a social construct but that doesn't mean it is readily changed. Good luck getting guys to wear high heels. Language is one of the most socially constructed things there is. And yet, it's hard to get people to change their vocabulary.

@Fran11 Some small degree of that is happening, but mostly people still fall into pretty strong gender binary roles, and I don't see that changing. Maybe 5-10% will skew in quirky directions, but most will be happy being more masculine and more feminine. At least in our lifetimes.

Ah... but it's not so simple. So long as you are in that physical body, you will have a strong identification with your sex. Sex is a deep physiological aspect of what you are as a human on the relative plane. And this cannot be changed willy-nilly. The hormones running your brain and body play a HUGE role in shaping your raw experience of life, not to mention your thoughts and emotions. So it's not as easy as having robots do all our physical labor for us. If you want to completely decouple gender and sex, you'll have to become like a brain in a vat hooked up to some VR game. Or via genetic engineering. But assuming your genes stay that same, you'll have attachments to masculine and feminine qualities.

Become infinitely conscious and see for yourself what's up. You are God, after all.

There actually is no such thing as POVs. There is only your direct experience. All POVs are inside your POV. The concept of Points of View is inherently dualistic. It too much collapse.

Gender is just an aspect of self-identity/ego. And all identity is relative & imaginary. You could identify with being a unicorn and no one could stop you as long as you believed in it hard enough. After all, that's exactly what you're doing right now when you identify as a human. "Human" is a totally imaginary identity.

Is there really such a thing though? Which country has a purely capitalist society?

Only in your mind Reality is relative and imaginary. Which means that if you imagine other people are real, they will be real for you. But if you ever stop imagining they are real, they will stop being real. Which is precisely why people are so insistent that others are real. That insistence is the very thing which makes them real. If you stop insisting, they will stop being real. But you will insist this isn't so. So there you go again

Exactly! What you have yet to realize is that Absolute Truth is a tautology.
