Edward Tuft founded a discipline/science known as Information Design. It's all about the aesthetics of visualizing data. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Tufte He wrote some good books about it: https://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/books_vdqi -
Einstein had a pretty clear understanding of it. Oh, BTW, on high enough doses of 5-MeO-DMT I was able to speed up "time". Like walking in 1.25x speed. Similar to how you can speed up a YT video.

Projection, judgment, and moralization.

Well, it is true that "The Establishment" will not be friendly to fringe, radical ideas which undermine mainstream consensus. But what needs to be acknowledged is that this is not purely some evil establishment plot. It's just the very nature of how mainstream things work. Mainstream things tend to exclude niche things. And this is sometimes good because niche things can be toxic. At least the mainstream stuff has been field-tested to work at scale. Niche ideas have not. So of course Google will censor stuff like anti-vax conspiracy theories because it simply goes against mainstream science and Google is not going to go against mainstream science. Huge companies are going to try to accommodate the middle of the road of their customer base. They will avoid fringe wacky stuff that few people are into. It's like Kyle and progressives don't understand that any time you challenge the status quo, it will push back. That's the whole challenge of making progress. OF COURSE all the giant companies and platforms will not be friendly to radical progressive voices. That is not their job. Their job is to serve the mainstream. -

I've done a lot of 5-MeO and DMT, and the generalizations in that article of their difference do not match my experiences at all. You cannot draw such conclusions from a few interviews or case studies. Psychedelics affect people extremely differently such that drawing generalizations about what the trip will be like is very difficult. I hardly experience visuals on DMT. And no entities. I would hesitate to make the bold conclusion, as the article does, that 5-MeO-DMT is superior for dealing with trauma. I think this will vary from person to person. I personally don't find 5-MeO-DMT that useful for doing shadow work. Lesser psychedelics like mushrooms or LSD might be better for that. If you really want a robust solution to this issue, you need to give each patient 5 or 10 different psychedelics and have him tell you which ones give him benefits in which categories, such as healing trauma, shadow work, awakening, etc. Experimentation for each patient is crucial. There cannot be a single solution that works for everyone because of how differently our bodies and brains metabolize these chemicals. -

So, something from GoT. -

You have no proper frame of reference to understand such things. First awaken. Then let's see if your questions still even make sense to you. -
Useless thread

That is all sense data. -

1ml of liquid is way too much. 0.5ml is plenty. The only reason to use more if you're taking a large volume of substance, like 100mg of DMT. But for 5-MeO-DMT, you can easily dissolve that in 0.3 to 0.5ml. -

Of course. The highest states of consciousness cannot be maintain 24/7 otherwise you'd die. To function in life requires a certain midway state of consciousness. -
Leo Gura replied to Jay Ray's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Obviously it's just an analogy. Don't take it too literally. Awakening cannot be imagined or pictured in any way. -

Yes, I have since upgraded to that better model of syringe. But again, these are minor technical details. You are arguing over syringe brands. -
Leo Gura replied to Calmness's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Lol Dude, you're arguing about a tiny detail. It most likely won't make a difference if you go 4cm or 6cm. This isn't rocket science. -
Leo Gura replied to Twega's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Lol How can you "trust your instruments" if you don't trust your senses? It's pure absurdity! He's speaking so confidently about things he has no clue about. Of course it is. He's clueless that his own logic and cognitive process IS part of "the senses" and is even less reliable than sensation. Go ahead and distrust direct experience. See what remains. But when you distrust experience, you must be unbiased about it. If you distrust the eyes but trust your thoughts, that's a bias. -

Makes no difference what you focus on as long as you focus on it. You could focus on a turd and awaken. -
Leo Gura replied to Calmness's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
Lol, that's 90% my method. I use a 1ml syringe. And it only needs to be filled up half way. I insert about 50-60% of the syringe. Keep in mind people have different body lengths. I'm 6'2". If you're short you may need to insert it less. Standing vs lying down makes little difference. It will work equally well in both way. I find it more comfortable to lay down and surrender to the trip (which comes on fast) than standing. You don't want to be standing when 5-MeO kicks in hard in 8 minutes. Your butt hole needs to be closed obviously. It naturally closes up. Your butt hole is never just hanging open by default. You don't particularly need to do anything special with your butt hole. Nothing should leak out. Taking a shit beforehand is super important. I would not skip that step. -

But he seems to claim that whites have an inherently higher IQ and that this is an unchangeable fact. To me that's awfully close to white supremacy. And it will be taken by his audience as bolstering their racist views. It gives ammunition to racists for being racists while denying they are racists, because "science". The human mind loves to use "science" and "reason" to validate whatever biases it has. Because it desperately wants to ground its biases in something objective. The whole game of the mind here is to deny that its worldview and biases are purely relative, subjective, and selfish. Molyneux is in the business of playing that game on behalf of his ethnocentric audience. Racist people need some authority figure who will tell them that their racism isn't actually racism, and that those who call them racists are actually being unscientific. -
Community EVOLVES! We live in a 21st century alienated community. Just because this community gives you the freedom to be alienated and distant does not mean it's any less of a community. Just the opposite. Only in a serious community are you given the luxury of individualism.

Clearly plugging is not effective for you. I would stop doing that and switch to vaping. But lower your dose back down to like 5 or 10mg. PLUGGING JUST DOES NOT WORK ON SOME PEOPLE. If you are that person, stop hitting your head against the wall.

I don't get it. How is that different from my technique? -

What does Mario's head do exactly in a video game? Is Mario's head generating the simulation? No. And yet, without a head, Mario couldn't be Mario. So the head is important. You can't just cut off Mario's head. But Mario's head is not causing the simulation, it's a small part of the larger simulation. Notice: No part of the simulation causes the simulation. The simulation's cause is COMPLETELY outside the plane of the simulation. There is no way for Mario to see what causes his simulated world from within the simulation. Mario would have to jump outside the simulation to understand it. Which is why humans struggle so much to resolve the mind/body problem. It cannot be resolved from inside the dream. You must awaken. You must breaknthrough the dream as a whole. You must see the whole thing as a dream. You must exit the Matrix to see what causes the Matrix. It is impossible to understand the Matrix from within the Matrix. Brains and science are all within the Matrix. -
I got 20 minutes of anesthesia done last week. Out cold. Zero consciousness. It was a pretty cool experience. Woke up feeling refreshed and alert. It kicked in so fast, like within 60 seconds I was out.

See it in your mind's eye and rest in peace You don't need to wait for God to materialize the inevitable as long as you can envision it. MLK style.
