I don't think that's particularly necessary. Omniscience is simply full consciousness of the present moment. Other moments don't need to happen because they are imaginary. You can be conscious that reality is an infinite dream without having to dream all the possible dreams. Similar to how you can be conscious that numbers are endless without having to write out every number. 1, 2, 3, 4.... at some point you just get that it can go on forever. In fact, there is a tradeoff between infinite consciousness and form. To truly be infinitely conscious you will just become an undifferentiated singularity. There will be no forms there, but you will be totally conscious of everything that could ever be. That is the pure white light at the end of tunnel that some people report to see when they die. It feels like getting sucked into the center of the sun. It's so much consciousness that it has infinite brightness and all form just drowns in it. Imagine a white hole that is infinitely deep.

It's mostly rhetorical confusion. The word experience is used for lack of a better word. Technically experience is dualiatic because it implies an experiencer. When the expeirence and expeirencer merge into one, what remains is Being, which is Absolute Truth. But it looks just like experience. The way Ralston frames it is needlessly confusing. What is really being pointed to is experience minus the experiencer. Teachers use the same words in different ways.

@Breakingthewall You are only getting started. There is much more to discover. Don't let the mind freak out too much. The nothingness is only one facet of a larger thing so keep exploring other facets. Try plugging instead of vaping.

If others aren't real, then there is no me doing anything. There is only you imagining me. What's happening here is that you are imagining duality because you are trying to keep yourself asleep. You don't want to wake up. It does matter, if you care about awaking up. All perspectives are the illusion. There are none. Only you, sitting there, imagining stuff. You see... you don't really want to fully wake up. You want a comfy partial awakening. Not a full one. A full one would annihilate the universe and everyone in it.

Plugged DPT gives a 3 hr+ trip. And I've found other chemicals as well.

@PopoyeSailor Sounds like a good book. Or just smoke some DMT

@Average Investor Krill is said to be tops. If it's truly from Antarctica as they say, that seems like good stuff. Who knows what kind of junk is found in cod's livers?

First, we must achieve true democracy. What we have now is a mockery of democracy. America is a plutocracy for all practical purposes. The reason those philosophers didn't like democracy was because most people in their age were illiterate dumb farmers.

@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.
