10g is a reckless dose, and really a waste since it will be too much for you to retain. Take 2g and contemplate next time. You could have seriously injured yourself with a 10g dose as a newbie. WTF were you thinking? Newbies should start with 1g.

Thanks for sharing. What I want to know is, does Sadhguru teach any version of pranayama spinal breathing in his advanced programs? Like visualizing the kundalini flowing up the spine?

Yes, it doesn't matter what form its in.

You shouldn't trip on LSD on back to back days. There is at least a week of tolerance.

Don't forget, the distinction between beginning and end is a duality and must ultimately collapse.

@cle103 You gave birth to yourself

@cle103 Sounds like you got it. Although I wouldn't call it brutality. There is softness to it as well.

Reality has no beginning or end. It has existed forever. No matter how deeply you explore it, you will always be infinitely far away from reaching the end. No matter how far back in time you go, you will be infinitely far away from finding its beginning. Not because you are too limited as a human, but because a beginning and end simply do not exist. God is endless consciousness.

Never mix 5-MeO with harmala. That is a lethal combo.

Watching my vids and doing the exercises.

Just because something feels good in the short term doesn't mean it's good for you in the long term. Drinking sugar water (Coke) makes you fat. Filling your body with heavily refined stuff like corn syrup is not wise.

Having the right theoretical foundation is crucial for getting value out of psychedelics.

If you're in doubt it ain't a breakthrough. Just gradually up your dose until you get there. Never combine 5-MeO-DMT with MOAI.

Freebase works rectally too. It's actually a bit more potent. But I'm talking about 5-MeO-DMT, not N,N-DMT.

Nothing is wrong. Yeah, certain big ideas require investors. It all depends on what you're trying to create. Yes, many things cannot be done alone. Then again, certain things cannot be done well as a team. By big business I mean large corporations that deal with millions of customers. There are certain scales of biz which require very different approaches. $0 to $1mil $1mil to $5mil $5mil to $20mil $100mil+ Those are very different beasts. To take your biz from $3mil to $20mil will require radically changing how you do business.

Problem is, nothing he says publicly can be trusted or taken at face value.

@DrewNows Good work. That's a start.

@Synchronicity I'd be more interested to know how this works in practice. Like how does it work to experience multiple lives at once? What does that feel like? Even on high doses of psychedelics I don't get that. I experience infinity but always as my own one life.

I didn't start any large corporation, nor did I ever use investors to start my businesses. You just gotta be creative. You can run a small biz and do well. Of course you'll be working long hours to make your small biz thrive. Then you'll understand why long hours are common. There exist many opportunities for small businesses. There are many market niches which are too small to sustain large corporations so they can't compete with you. Business is just like the animal kingdom. The biggest animals are not the only game in town. In fact, most animals are small ones. You can be a highly successful small animal. But you gotta be more creative, clever, and strategic than the big guys.

I would bring earplugs, so other people screaming and hurling don't distract you.

They are playing with each other as it is. Even if a lion wakes up, he still gotta eat. And he ain't gonna eat tofu. A lion eating a rabbit is his way of playing the game.

The mistake is assuming Buddhism is somehow original. Buddhism just mirrors reality. Hegel doesn't need to know about Buddhism, he just need to be conscious of reality. He was a Christian and he deeply understood Christianity. Not as it's practiced today, but in the old school idealist mystical sense. The irony is that a lot of old philosophers and scientists were more right about metaphysics than scientists are today precisely because they were Christians, and Christianity is grounded in the deepest truth there is. It just happens to also be very corrupt. So the real question is, How did Hegel manage to escape the corruption of Christianity? Hegel may not have been a meditator in the Buddhist sense, but he was obviously a deep contemplator and closely studied his direct experience. Which is the equivalent of meditation. He also deeply studied Heraclitus. When Heraclitus was asked, How did you become enlightened? He replied, "I studied myself."

And the other 20% we could cover with: Mu

I would actually say just the opposite: All of your current dysfunctions in life are the result of past events. It's not so simple as correlating some one horrid childhood event to your current problem. It's much more complex. All problems are the result of whatever the "self" you identify as. This "self" was constructed as a reaction to survival challenges in the past. The "self" is nothing more than a survival mechanism. So of course it's highly conditioned by upbringing, childhood, teenage years, and early adulthood. Whatever stuff happened to you between the ages of 0 to 30 has shaped your personality almost totally to the point where you cannot even know what your self would be without it. Of course your are not just shaped by bad events but good events too. Of course none of this means you can't change. It's a bad idea to listen to academic psychologists when it comes to understanding the dynamics of the self. Broad surveys and studies are not gonna cut it here. This requires existential level insight through direct work on oneself. Ask yourself where your "self" came from? You'll see it was from the past. In fact, your entire mind came from the past. Every word you use came from your past. 99% of the ideas in your mind came from your past. You hardly invented anything new. You are like a snowball rolling down hill collecting more snow and dirt. But the strange looping twist here is, the past is just a figment of your mind! There never was a past or a self or a world! You made it all up. You sneaky devil, you. Survival has everything to do with your problems. Without survival there is no problem at all.
