There is no need to denounce those who criticize me. Let whoever wants air his/her grievances without being blamed or rebuked.

Of course But the highest truth is silent.

No reason, sure...

No one gives a damn about super-models. Guys simply want a hot girl. Not so complicated. Then again, some guys have no standards. It all depends on what kind of standards you have.

When a conspiracy theorist gets his ass pressed to the frying pan: Notice the mental gymnastics, and then read the comments under the video for the real treat.

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

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

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.

Not good, deleted it from my phone.

There is no such thing as non-existence. Only existence. Infinity exists. Here. It. Is. -
Supplements ain't going anywhere. You can't even ban cocaine or meth effectively, let along supplements. The mainstream scientific and medical establishment can be very conservative and closedminded about alternative health issues. But if you ever get truly sick, supplements could save your life. Don't forget, life expectancy of people for 99.99999% of history was something like 35. Not to mention all the needless suffering. And also, every culture has had medicine men as a revered and important role/profession for at least 100,000 years. What is a medicine man but a supplement dealer? Think about it. Even animals will eat herbs when they get sick. Even animals use supplements. Making arguments based on what is "natural" is dumb. We live in a highly unnatural world these days. Every gallon of water you drink is filled with mercury, lead, and 100 other toxic chemicals.

It depends on how you define "personality". If you define shyness and insecurity and inexperience as part of your personality, then yes, you can change that. But there will always be an deeper, more fundamental personality which you cannot change. But that personality is not inherently shy. Don't worry about these philosophical issues. Simply go get massive experience socializing and that will fix many of your problems until your question melts away. I used to be extremely shy and socially insecure, to the point of not being able to have a conversation with a taxi driver or hair stylist or grocery store clerk.

Let's give QAnnon a kiss. Maybe that'll cure 'em.

@vizual If you vaporize it properly it does not have any nasty taste. The nasty taste comes from burning it. -

Basically not. The visuals are actually a lesser mode of consciousness. When consciousness becomes maximally infinite, it is pure abstraction. Any form would limit it. If you are seeing some DMT machine elf, that is still a limited form. You'd be better off dropping that form and going for pure abstraction. It's a bit like art. Realist art requires a less advanced mind to appreciate and understand. Abstract art requires an advanced mind to appreciate and understand. The deepest levels of understanding are pure abstractions. -
Also, consider this: I deliberately try not to act saintly because that is what makes students worship the teacher and leads to all sorts of unrealistic expectations. You see, if you discover that Ekhart Tolle watched some porn, this would outrage and disgust you because in his public persona he presents this image of a saintly figure. You probably can't even imagine Ekhart Tolle having sex. This entire stereotype is damaging and absurd. Ekhart Tolle's audience would be better served if he said FUCK! once in a while. The trap is that as a spiritual student to go looking for ever-more saintlier teachers to validate your naive ideas about this work. And once you find this saintliest teacher, he feels so beyond you, so super-human, that you can't help but worship him and believe his every word. And later you discover that he eats meat, has sex, looks at porn, drinks wine, makes mistakes, supports centrist capitalist politicians, avoids paying taxes, hunts animals, kills a fly, gets a divorce, has sex with a hooker in Thailand, gets angry, or whatever else, and your whole fantasy about gurus collapses. This work is not about acting saintly. It would be best if you dropped this expectation of saintliness. Saintliness is precisely what creates cult followings. P.S. Your revered guru Alan Watts drank himself to death and you can't handle Leo enjoying some porn? I could easily not mention my enjoyment of porn to you, and then you would think I am 50% more saintly. I could further boost my saintliness by 100% by never saying FUCK any more. Ekhart Tolle drinks wine. I don't even drink. So HA! Don't forget that your expectations for my behavior are largely your own fantasy, and I have no obligation play into your fantasy of how conscious people should behave. My only obligation is to not exploit you, not abuse you, and not mislead you into delusion. But if I want to watch some porn, then I will and you'll just have to go cry in the corner I guess.

Perhaps so, but that does not excuse conspiratorial theorizing. The most common way that conspiracy theorists justify their BS speculations is by citing some case in the past where something crazy came true. Then their mind takes that as license to speculate wildly and in a paranoid manner about everything under the sun. The nature of reality is such that there's a lot of stuff we don't know. But that is not license to feed all your ego's selfish fears and suspicions.

No you can't. Don't encourage this. I don't hate Trump at all.

@erik8lrl A pretty good visualization of Infinite Consciousness. Although for me it's not so visual and more abstract/formless. -
It's a two-way street. Individuals create the system, but the system creates the individuals. I don't think that's an accurate characterization of pedophiles. They were not necessarily emotionally abused. They might simply only be turned on by young people. There isn't necessarily anything "wrong" with them, any more than you being turned on by whatever you are turned on by.

All the practices that we've talked about endlessly here. This is not something you accomplish in one weekend. Purification is a life-long process. -
No it wasn't. It was a scientific theory advanced by serious intellectuals with quality arguments and evidence.
