@Smika Yes, this is normal and a good sign that something is working. Keep up your spiritual practices and don't get distracted by weird sensations. Weird sensations will arise and pass away. What you really want is to open that crown chakra and have an awakening. Educate yourself about Kundalini Awakening. Read some books about it. I have books on my book list about the ups and downs of the process.

@zambize It's an average sociological trend. There are of course many individual exceptions. So don't stereotype people too much. The main reason it's true is because as the infrastructure of society evolves lower survival needs becomes easier and easier to satisfy to the point where you don't need to even think about them. Older generations had to worry about a neighboring tribe raping and pillaging their village. Modern generations don't have this worry because government infrastructure (like the modern court and police system) has been built to prevent that. Your value system reflects the environment you're trying to survive in. As the environment evolves, so must your values, beliefs, and worldview if you wish to be effective at survival. A slave owner would not be able to survival for long in today's environment. But 500 years ago it was almost the opposite. Owning slaves raised your survival. Because the environment was so different. Humans have changed their environment so much that slavery became counter-productive. Which is why today slavery is no longer considered acceptable. The moral of the story is: your values are totally contingent on your survival needs, which change constantly as evolution progresses. And the rate of progress is accelerating. So newer generations are more different than they were in the past.

@Spence94 Since inner/outer is a duality, you should already suspect that this is a rather arbitrary distinction which must ultimately collapse. Inner affects the outer. Outer affects the inner. Because inner = outer. In truth everything is one! So work on both, work on THE ONE. If you're surrounded by an unhealthy, toxic environment, change it ASAP. That will free you up to do serious inner work. And if you're stuck in an environment with no idea of how to break free, change your inner game, which will allow you to escape that environment. You can burn the candle from both ends.

Yes, there definitely are generational differences as each generation of humans gets indoctrinated into newer, more advanced cultural ways of thinking. It's almost like with smartphones. Each new generation of smartphones comes with new, more advanced software. It is hard to install the latest software on old hardware, mostly due to rigidity of the mind. I'll have a video on this topic in the future.

@Maya_0 Yes, that's very common. Martin Ball writes & talks about that phenomenon a lot. When that happens all you gotta do is just remember to open your body up and be more symmetrical. This will help you surrender and open up your mind to the wisdom it's trying to download.

@ingurix In one sense: the opposite of enlightenment is ego, duality, Maya, or your present state of mind. In another sense: enlightenment has no opposite because Truth has no opposite. Falsehood is not really opposite of Truth because Truth is all there is and falsehood isn't really a thing (it is an illusion). From the unenlightened perspective enlightenment has an opposite. From the enlightened perspective there never was such a thing as unenlightenment. Enlightenment is TOTAL and ever-present. It is the only thing that is ever occurring, has ever occurred, or can ever occur. Enlightenment or nonduality means: no dualities, which means no opposites. You're basically asking: What is the opposite of no-opposites? Lol

@reves Actually, that's a great introductory trip. You don't want the full power of mushrooms just yet. They can be scary powerful at higher doses. Everyone has a unique tolerance level. Next time just dose a bit higher. Be careful though because truffle potency can vary from batch to batch depending on the exact species and how they are grown. Dosing natural mushrooms is a bit tricky because they are not standardized. Ideally you would acquire a large batch, test its potency by doing a low dose, and then you would have a good idea of how potent your batch is. If you acquire small batches, you might eat too much of a potent batch based off a less potent batch. When I take mushrooms it is always a standardized alcohol extract, not actual mushrooms, which delivers a very consistent potency dose. You might even want to just take pure 4-HO-DMT (psilocin) in synthetic chemical form for the most precise dosing. Precise and consistent dosing is very important if you're getting into serious tripping. 1 or 2 trips is NEVER enough to understand psychedelics. To really understand you must be ready to experiment with 10-30 trips. And even then, you're just seeing the tip of the iceberg of tripping. It takes about 10-30 trips to start to make sense of how they work because there are so many variables at play. No one trip means much by itself. You must accumulate aggregate experience. Even at precisely the same dose and under identical set & setting you will have wildly different trips. Because the mind is chaotic. It is not a simple machine like a refrigerator.

Shamanism is legit, but I don't think you understand what shamanism is. Most shamanism doesn't even involve psychedelics. It is not so hard to teach yourself how to trip properly. Do more research, do more experimentation, follow proper protocol as has been laid out in my videos and from many other sources. DMT is not a good starting psychedelic. It's way too powerful, too visual, and too fast-acting. Start with something less intense, like 1g of mushrooms or 125ug of LSD. Gradually work your way upwards, taking time to contemplate and integrate insights. Trip moderately but consistently over the course of a year or two and you should master the art of tripping.

@Aaron p Why are you snorting N,N-DMT? That is silly. You need to do more research into what you are doing.

Excellent work!

You can lead a mule to water but you can't make him drink If psychedelics don't do the trick, God help you.

@CreamCat Try it and see what happens.

@CreamCat None of that can be trusted. The ego will circumvent all your lofty ideas.

@Kaity Psychedelics help. A lot. As they show you your authentic personality. 1 trip is worth 100 videos. The problem of authenticity is so deep, it's not merely social or psychological, it's metaphysical. You can only really resolve the issue metaphysically. The ego is too terrified to really be authentic. It's a matter of life and death. Authenticity will only really come with the elimination of the ego. Which is not to say you can't or shouldn't do some self-help or psychological work. That can be useful. But it won't solve the root issue.

@c_wave_arts The point of PUA/RSD is to learn how to get laid. If you struggle with dating you certainly won't learn how to get laid watching my videos. Then again, PUA/RSD is quite neurotic, dysfunctional, egotistical, ideological, and shallow. But it will get you laid if you take action on it. Which could be useful.

This is almost always a lie. Such situations are almost never stable and filled with self-deception on both sides. In practice what happens is the women are deeply unsatisfied and end up dropping out after a year or two. And it only works from the guy's POV if he's constantly pulling new women into his harem. The guy is burning through women every year to maintain his rotation. But because he's so selfish he's blind to the suffering he's causing these women so it seems fine from his POV, as least until he becomes more conscious, at which point he'll see it and probably stop. Most women will be crushed when you tell them that you want to see other women. Imagine utter heart-break. That's what she felt when you told her that. It crushed her. To pretend otherwise is quite delusional. Ask yourself why you want polyamory. Watch out for egoic self-deception here. Figure out how to relate to one woman first before you start juggling 3 of them at once. Most guys who want to be with multiple women are immature and terrified of commitment, relationship & intimacy. That's what you really want to work on.

Will do

This is why psychedelics exist. Case closed.

@CreamCat Leave the house and go to a cheap motel room or camp outdoors. The house has too many distractions.

@Viking In other words, what you really want is to be a monk. You just haven't realized this yet. Your disillusionment is stemming from the highest wisdom. But are you wise enough to see that and courageous enough to actualize it? Disillusionment is not a mistake. After are, you are inside an illusion The mistake would be to sweep the disillusionment under the rug. What you're really tired of is the ego's bullshit games.

@Adilbek You have no idea yet what you're in for Do you dare exit the Matrix?

@F A B It is a truism that everyone always wants to feel loved. You can't really go wrong with that advice. Then again, never follow advice too literally. You must apply it with intelligence and contextual awareness.

I shot a video but I was having some sinus troubles so it didn't come out to my liking and it will be re-shot, as it's an important new topic. I usually try to get a video ready by Sunday, but if I'm unhappy with how it turned out, I would rather re-shoot it than to release something just to maintain an artificial schedule.
