That is good. I would recommend you do more small dose mushroom trips. They will teach you a lot. Become comfortable in the mushroom space. No, truth is not just truth. Truth is extremely radical and has many layers and facets to it. Most egos are not ready to handle the full Truth, they will recoil, freak out, reject, deny, demonize it, etc. To handle the Truth you gotta be at a certain level of development and you need a certain degree of purification of mind. In practice one has to ease oneself into the Truth. Usually with spiritual work this happens gradually over years and decades. With psychedelics this whole process is short-circuited, thrusting you into the Truth within minutes or hours. With smoked 5-MeO-DMT, it's even worse, you're thrust into Buddha-levels of Truth within seconds. That's way too fast for most people. It can be overwhelming and traumatic if you're not ready. Not all people have the same capacity to handle Truth. For some it's a lot easier than others. A lot of this has to do with how much ego you've got, how much psychological trauma or baggage you got, and how much you desire Truth. Most people have a very low desire for Truth, which is why they spend some little time contemplating metaphysical questions.

Sounds like you smoked it. That will be very confusing. Plugging it is much smoother and clearer and friendlier. Before you smoke 5-MeO-DMT you should have a lot of experience with other psychedelics. Otherwise you're likely to freak the fuck out. Because your whole reality will be ripped away within seconds. Start with small doses of mushrooms, LSD, etc. Only after you've explored some of the psychedelic landscape should you attempt smoking 5-MeO. Because it will hit you very hard and very fast. Plugging small doses is much friendlier and gives you a lot more time to understand what is going on. Blasting yourself into hyperscape is not ideal for our work unless maybe you're already very experienced and comfortable in the psychedelic landscape. A gentle introduction to psychedelics is VERY IMPORTANT! Gentle is the key for beginners. Which means very small doses and non-smoking methods which come on gradually and give you plenty of time to explore, contemplate, and integrate. When you're learning to fly you don't just jump into a F-22 jet fighter. You start with a simple, slow, gentle, propeller plane. Learn how flying works before you start doing barrel rolls and the like.

@Schahin It will be terrifying to most people when all of reality gets pulled from under your feet. You have only seen a few hairs of the Ox's tail and already the ego is ready to forget all about it. Doing 5-MeO once is not enough. The lower doses can be more challenging than higher doses since the ego is still there to resist. But with that said, the higher doses can also be very challanging if you are not ready to handle the Truth. The Truth is very radical. It's not the spirit saying stay away, it's the ego. But if you feel unready, then don't do it. Sounds like you need to mature more.

Sigh.... User @Anton_Pierre has been banned from this forum. I expect more maturity than this, and he simply was not interested in listening to warnings or correcting his behavior.

@Ero Long before the elections.

Remember, all spirituality works this way: if you don't do the practices, not only will you not understand it, you will definitely misunderstand it and it will worsen your life.

This is toxic garbage and it has nothing to do with spirituality. It's all just justifications of a wounded ego stuck in victim mentality building an ideological narrative to protect its own survival. It's sad to see people taking such narratives seriously. If you keep watching stuff like this, it will corrupt your mind and make it impossible to grow your consciousness to the highest levels.

No clickbait

Drugs are imaginary.

@Jed Vassallo Should last for years.

@Aakash Way too much theorizing. As I already said, ego is a contracted state of consciousness. Changing the state makes it go away.

Zen is a formal religion with various titles and so forth, just like any religion has. A certification is only as valid as you imagine it to be.

Devil is a technical term in this work. It simply means someone who is aggressively selfish, unaware of it, and even proud of it.

Yes! I think you are framing this whole issue in an unresourceful way. Rather than thinking of it as "My death is coming", forget about that and just focus on being really CURIOUS! Be so curious about what consciousness is that death becomes irrelevant. Who cares about death when there is God to explore? Frame it in this positive way. When tripping, replace fear with curiosity.

Don't overthink it. It's certainly not done through logic. Logic is there to serve survival. For me it just comes naturally as a means to my ultimate goal: Truth, Love, and understanding. If you just desire Truth, and Love, and understanding enough, and work towards that, eventually ego-death will happen and it won't be a big deal. Psychedelics help a lot with getting confortable with ego death. That is one of their most useful features. You can become so comfortable with it that you don't bat an eye when it happens. Otherwise try years of Kriya yoga.

Simple: just do the practices. You are right, that video cannot be understood at your present level of consciousness. Like I said, it took me some 15 years to get there. And I used some powerful tools along the way without which it would have been impossible for me. Basically almost no human being is capable of understanding it. Because it is requires transhuman levels of consciousness. Getting to the bottom of What is reality? is a HUGE undertaking. You are asking to know how the world is created. This cannot be understood from within the human mind. Yes, it is very frustrating at times. Psychedelics make it 1000x easier.

Systems rarely just collapse, they tend to evolve into more conscious systems. There are schooling styles which mix learning with play. They just aren't widely adopted because we have a factory farm education system right now. But that will change.

"Bad person" is an egoic judgment.

What is the point of this devil question?

A) I don't know what you mean by that. You are painting with a broad brush here. People experience and realize different things. Nondual consciousness is not a state of ego, it is the absence of ego, and the realization that your true nature is nothing and everything, or infinite, or God. There are many people here who are unaware of many things. Just because they have some degree of realization does not mean they are aware of the deeper layers. Ego dissolution also has layers and degrees of depth to it. The ego is a complex and relentless structure. It takes a lot of deconstruction work to fully get beyond it. B) Do not start yet another nonduality debate.

The point is, all that is relative. They are "terrorists" to YOU because you got a survival agenda. To themselves they are not terrorists, they are defenders of their way of life. In every case a human is simply defending his way of life. Israel's system is not to kill but to carve out a homeland for themsleves, yes. Killing is a byproduct of that. I do not support what Israel is doing, but that's my agenda.

This is hilarious: As someone in the YT comments said:

It's a state of consciousness. When that state changes, ego goes poof! like it never was.

@Stephen Go deeper! You have merely scratched the surface. The Truth will become obvious at some point. There is no how to Truth. Truth simply is all that is. God is not an idea.

Sheela was a devil, plain and simple.
