Why is it that I have no problem with microscoops? The right dose every time. The volume of your substance is not going to change day to day. Just use totally flat scoops and it's very consistent. Scooping also reduces spills and waste.

You could not stay alive long at such levels of consciousness. It is not practical because you do not care what happens to your body. There is a good reason humans have very limited levels of consciousness: it's not so practical otherwise. You could not accomplish work or raise a family and thus the species would go extinct. To live as a human is to be in a limited state. Human = limit. Unlimited is what you are when you stop being human.

@CreamCat You ARE a good story

Yang is popular amoung young naive tech savvy stage Orange males. It's technophile pipedreams. It would be like if Elon Musk ran for president. His fanboys would be all over it, but they would not understand that Musk is not so advanced politically. Don't confuse tech stuff with serious reform of society. The Yang Gang is not stage Yellow, it's Orange. So watch out. Yang pushes all the right buttons of tech savvy stage Orange males. Notice that. That's why they like him so much. It's an unconscious response, not careful critical thinking.

You're not getting it. MONEY is the hierarchy! Money means nothing without a hierarchy of wage slaves who will work for you to get your money. There is no escaping society other than through death. You can live alone in the woods but you will still be intimately tied into society regardless of how much money you have. If you watch Life Below Zero you see just how badly people who live alone in the remote Alaskan wilderness depend on society to save their ass. They could not live otherwise.

Enough of this spiritual masturbation. Go do something productive.

@kieranperez In practice it's very challenging because your life is about survival as you. You can't have it both ways: you can't stay yourself and radically change. It's one or the other. Being you means not being something else. And you are deeply committed to being you. You are not just a blank slate. Your biology has certain trade-offs. You can't just turn yourself into a kangaroo because then you would no longer be a human. By being born as a human you already made the choice to not be a kangaroo. That's what human birth is! That choice! So now you're stuck with it until you completely relinquish that choice (via "death").

@Psychonaut Yeah, 20mg will probably not be felt by most people. Although 40mg is a strong trip for me. So don't get cocky. Shaving your balls after taking a psychedelic is one of dumbest things I've ever heard. But hey, they're your balls, so knock yourself out.

@John Iverson On Datura, for example, it is possible to hallucinate entire people out of thin air and hold them as real. You could hallucinate a person, have a conversation with him for 2 hours, only later to realize that he was just your own imagination. Datura is lethal so don't ever try it. But it's important to understand that such things are possible because physical reality is imaginary. If you've taken high doses of psychedelics you have first hand experience of how your imagination can become reality. It doesn't happen in conventional states of consciousness because it interferes with your survival.

I have none to report. (Yet) Maybe, which is why you shouldn't dwell on negative thoughts.

20mg plugged is very mild for me. All tryptamines are tested with the Ehrlich test kit.

They are very harmful to the devils who run government and religion. Stop assuming that the drug regulators are looking out for you. They looking out for their wallets and egos. If 5-MeO ever became legal the world would change more radically than from the internet.

My opinion of LoA changed at long time ago.

@Chi_ You can do whatever you want. These questions have already been answered.

Of course microscoop measurements are all relative per substance. What you do is start with a 1 scoop dose. See how that feels for you, then bump it up to 1.5 or 2 scoops next time. Of course this has to be done each time anew for each new substance. Once you are familiar with your substance, counting in terms of scoops rather than milligrams becomes easy and accurate. There are few substances that I have heard of where one 10mg microscoop will be way too much. Especially if you're plugging it. I have found milligram scales to be not sensitive enough. I can throw 10mg on the scale, then double that dose and it will still say 10mgs!

A $1 dollar microscoop is easier and dare I say even more accurate. Scales are so overrated. Mircoscoops are the way to go when dosing tiny amounts.

@Preetom Don't speak for me please. What I say does not contradict what you say. God is all form, and if all form disappears, God is the emptiness that remains. There is only one thing: God. It can take many forms or no form at all, and there is no difference between form and not-form unless you hold that there is. Way too much hairsplitting going on in this thread. It's a discussion about nothing.

@Dylan Page You just won't understand until you awaken. You are taking your life for granted. Not seeing all the love around you. Who is responsible for that but you? Who else can see the love for you but you? It's like you've lost your glasses and looking for them in anger while not realizing that they are on your face and you are looking through them right now!

Locking this because it is dangerous and sets a bad example for others. This is egotiatical and not what Actualized.org is about. You can do whatever you want on your own but please don't give our work here a bad name, as this ruins psychedelics for others. We want to demonstrate responsible and safe use of psychedelics.

The Vedantic perspective is also imagination. As all perspective or analysis is.

@Anna1 That is wrong. EVERYTHING is Brahman. Your nonduality is incomplete. If you have 2 things, that is duality! The distinction between Brahman and world is something Brahman (You) is imagining. All difference is God's imagination at work. So if you see a difference between things, you can be sure that you created that difference. It would be wise of you guys to listen to what is being said here.

It has merit if you imagine it does. If you want absolute truth, then let that go. There are no shoulds. Do whatever you want.

Yes All differences are imaginary. There exists only one thing: consciousness. The end.

@Dylan Page It is all done out of pure Love. But ego cannot understand it from its limited POV precisely because the Love is unlimited. When you finally realize it's all out of pure Love, it will take your breath away.

This will not fly at all. You need TOTAL superhuman focus to breakthrough. You have not even begun the work yet. You are kidding yourself still. You can keep doing passive inquiry for 1000 years and not awaken. So be very realistic with yourself about how you are wasting your time. You have to be brutally honest with yourself about distrations. Make a clear distinct between when you are seriously inquiring vs just screwing around.
