There is no way. You either take it and let it mindfuck you on its terms, or you don't. You're rolling dice.

Well, I consider that Ramaji got inspired by David Hawkin's scale but they are not the same scale. I would not treat them as interchangeable. Scales are relative things and you can always invent whatever scale you want. Nothing wrong with that. But also, I would not agree to try to define awakening on a one dimensional scale of any size. That's far too limited. Awakening is multi-dimensional and endless. So I could never agree to place it on a scale of 0 to 1000. But even so, Ramaji's scale could still be useful. I just would caution that all such maps and models are limited and shouldn't be taken as absolute. There's nothing wrong with Ramaji per se. If his work helps you, by all means use it. Just don't be limited by any one teacher or teaching.

No. I experience it as Infinite Consciousness and God, but in a gnarly different way than on any other psychedelic. But then again, I have only done a little salvia. I'm scared to do more. You want to be careful with such things. Don't take more than you can handle. Yes, on salvia, you will easily forget you ever had a life. This is a freaky experience.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm craving a bat burger.

TSH of 2.6 is not that high though. That's within normal range. With real hypothyroidism your TSH might be 20 or higher. You should track your Free T3 and Free T4. That's what matters most. But thanks for sharing.

3g can be pretty intense. Dial is back.

A much smaller extent than most alt-rigthers and progressives believe. Propaganda is a very sneaky and subtle force. It is not done consciously in most cases. It is unconscious. For propaganda to be most effective the people who manufacture it have to convince themselves that it isn't propaganda. They have to be true believers. CNN and MSNBC does not manufacture propaganda. They are simply an echo-chamber for mainstream American culture. Which is the propaganda/establishment. Everybody on these networks believes they are being objective, accurate, and truthful. Progressives make a huge mistake when they think that mainstream media is deliberately lying. That's a progressive projection which arises out of not understanding that people can hold different worldviews, and all worldviews are relatively valid. The progressive worldview is not "truth", as progressives assume. It is a relative fabrication. But of course, to understand this means transcending stage Green.

@traveler But notice, it is possible to go to Australia and pet some kangaroos

Life IS Love. There is nothing to do here but love. Anything else is lunacy. Is it scary to love so deeply? Of course! It's terrifying. But you are only here to learn how to love. You have about 85 years of practice.

Just keep in mind fasting can seriously hinder your ability to do everyday functions. The deeper your fast, the less you do. This can be a positive or a negative depending on your goals. There is probably be periods where you feel really weak and shitty.

Yes And to go to Australia you'd have to imagine it first. But notice, you are NOT in Australia. Unless you are Yes! It would create suffering as you would know you are disconnected from God's highest form. But that's preciaely what would then drive you to higher God-realization. As some Buddhist master once said, "Yes, end your seeking. But not too soon!" You imagine this And so it is. Unfortunately sticking your head in the sand about infinite consciousness does not make you infinitely conscious. You are settling for something less. Nothing wrong with that. You can also settle for being an egomanic. That too is fine. Who wants to stop being an egomanic? Raising consciousness necessarily creates its own suffering. And yet we do it.

I think this is the norm. Evolved leaders are rare and they often go unappreciated, kicked out, jailed, or killed. Devils will not follow an angel. Devils want to follow one of their own. This is fundamentally why great selfless leadership is rare. Selfish people cannot handle a selfless leader. To a selfish person a selfless person looks like a devil. Because a devil preceives selflessness as evil. Because a devil sees falsehood as truth and truth as falsehood, good as evil and evil as good.

Of course they do! That's what I mean by their bias. What must be understood is that this is a function of culture. CNN operates within a culture. American culture as a whole defines the playing field for large business. A large business can only survive and thrive if it serves the larger mainstream culture, which is stage Orange. To achieve this, CNN must hire Orange employees, anchors, and managers. So CNN is fully enmeshed in the larger matrix of American culture. In this sense CNN has an establishment stage Orange bias. Not because they want to manufacture propaganda but because they are children of the larger culture and so they end up reinforcing it unwittingly. They paint Bernie as negative because he is too different to what they are used to, and they don't have a good sense of vision into the next level of where culture is headed. It is not in their financial interest to have a progressive vision. When we are talking about Sanders winning, we are really talking about changing culture, which is very hard to do because culture has homeostasis. Culture resists change. So of course mainstream media will not be embracing Bernie with hugs and kisses. They will look at him skeptically and dismissively. Why would a successful CNN anchor who lives a good life and works his ass off to build his career risk rocking the boat? He reinforces the culture which allowed him to be successful. This is just survival 101. You might as well be asking him to put a gun to his head. But Sander's job is to bust through all that resistance. That's why evolution is hard and slow. It's not because of evil eiltes per se. The evil elites are just children of the deeper problem, which is the culture.

The problem is that anything is a valuable experience after the fact. But some experiences can be traumatic. I would be extremely cautious with salvia. It can traumatize you. You have no idea how radically it will mindfuck you. We are talking madness territory. You will enjoy other psychedelics far more. Why traumatize yourself? Take some LSD and enjoy yourself.

@traveler You are either infinitely conscious or you are not. And I gauarantee you are not. Otherwise you could not be here talking to me. It's important to realize that you are not infinitely conscious right now. But you could be. Infinite consciousness is highly extraordinary.

That's right. Because from God's POV there is no difference between anything. Hence no judgment is possible.

Yes, it is unknown. But this ordinariness state is not infinite omniscience.

DMT, DPT, 5-MeO-DMT, salvia Hardly no tolerance and perhaps even reverse-tolerance. Be careful. You can get in over your head.

It is freaky in ways that are not necessarily good or pleasant. It's total mindfuckery.

I haven't noticed any degradation in quality if it's kept in a dry, dark place. You can vacuum seal it if you want very long term storage. Although it will keep for years even without that. Chemicals are generally very stable. Active peyote has been found in thousand year old tombs. I would not partition 1g into 100mg bags. 1g is not a lot to begin with. You will lose material on each plastic bag as it clings.

Of course it can. The question is how effective will it be and how deep will it go? All that will vary.

Of course I think it is all progress. Progress requires solidification of previous stages to create a stronger foundation. That's what's happening. It's like compacting earth before you start building the house. Covid is the deathblow to libertarianism.

Bottom line is: it changes your state of consciousness. Your current state of consciousness is totally inadequate for spiritual understanding. You need some way to change your state, whether that be psychedelics, concentration, fasting, breathing, whatever.

@meow_meow Happy to hear it, bro But you have no idea yet how good is gets.

Yes, I pointed this out in my latest blog video. Except there is a difference. America and Russian are in different developmental positions. And Trump is a moron who is making America weaker. For Russians, Putin is a pretty decent president. For Americans, Trump is a shitty president. We can do much better.
