Just to be safe, you can cut a blotter square into 4ths and consume one fourth just to test it. That should be about 20-30ug, which is a very mild dose. You won't trip balls on that amount, but you'll def feel it. After that test run, you can have much more confidence consuming a full square. Never rush to high dosages. Be patient and take your time with it. You will be rewarded for your carefulness.

@GeoLura You are becoming the universe. Embrace your new identity as God. There is still much further to go.

@Etherial Cat Lula is in prison. Thing is, you can't just upgrade an entire nation by electing one good guy. That never works. What's necessary is to upgrade the systems, the infrastructure, the culture, the average people. Low consciousness people cannot appreciate a high consciousness leader (if Lula can even be called that -- I can't speak to what crimes is did or did not commit). Brazil is very Blue still and it will take a lot of work to transition it to pure Orange, let alone Green. Even America is failing to embrace Green. Brazil will not be Green in our lifetimes. But Orange is possible.

It's not shallow reasons. Being successful opens a lot of doors. Then love comes. It's not like the girls falls in love with your money. You can lure her in with your success, but then make her fall in love with your personality. Most girls are not the golddigger types. A few are, but most aren't. If you're intelligent you can use this to your advantage. Become successful, access the hottest girls, and then pick one and make her fall in love with you rather than your money or success. The best thing about success is that it can buy you access to lots of people, which then gets you a lot of eyeballs, which makes attracting females a lot easier than being just another guy at the club. The point is, there are pros and cons to each personality style and mating strategy. Nerds have ways of getting laid. Jocks have ways of getting laid. Etc. The only people who don't get laid are those who sit at home complaining on online forums. There is just 1 tricking to finding girls: GO OUT & BE SOCIAL! That's it! Everything else is minutia. I don't care who you are or what you look like, if you go out long enough you will attract a girl.

Becoming rich has nothing do to with luck.

God bless the Chinese. First they give us Zen, now they give us Zen in powdered form

John Oliver did an episode about this topic this week: Some cringey moments there.

Looks like you got the Trump of the South on your hands there. Not good.

Yes, but you will need to go at it much harder in the end to breakthrough. But for starting, that is okay. You gotta start slow. In the end you will need to go at it 100 hours in a row.

@Ampresus From the way you write it does not sound like you are mature enough to handle it. Focus on yoga, meditation, self-inquiry, shamanic breathing, etc. And read a lot about nonduality. Psychedelics are no joke. They will rip your reality apart.

@ValiantSalvatore Excellent! These are the kind of posts I wanna see more of here You have much more to learn from LSD. You have barely licked the tail of the Ox.

@SFRL The PM function is useful. It's only a problem in very rare cases.

No, this a common misunderstanding. There is nothing to discuss about nonduality. Nonduality is perfectly clear and perfectly documented. The only thing to do with nonduality is to practice it. Anything else is the ego distracting from the work. Debating God does not help anyone. It's perfectly clear what God is. The only question is: will you do the practices necessary to realize it? That you are God is not up for debate or discussion. Look and you will see that it's true. Of course most egos don't want to look. Which is why they resort to all kinds of devilry instead. This is why Zen practice is very austere and brutal. There is no room in Zen for debate. A Zen master would never allow debate in his zendo. Smartasses who try to debate a Zen master will get a punch in the face. The proof is in the practice and nowhere else. If you want to ask questions about how to improve your practice, that is welcome and good. Stick to that. I love reading and answering those types of questions. But starting threads about how Leo is full of shit, or how enlightenment is fake, or how you are not God -- that's just bullshit.

@How to be wise I'm conscious enough to know they are not conscious enough to know what they are talking about. If someone tells me "You are not God", they are straight up ignorant of nonduality. Case closed. I'm not gonna entertain their delusions any further. Being openminded does not mean that I'm tolerant of bullshit. Just the opposite. A deep understanding of nonduality makes it extremely obvious to spot who's full of shit and who hasn't reached the deepest levels yet. Egoless was promoting a dualistic Christian version of a separate God. Which is pure devilry. It's obvious these people have not even bothered to do the basic research, to read the books, let alone to have direct experiences of the advanced and subtle things being discussed here. But these devils don't just stop there. Then what they do is they use the PM system to corrupt the minds of other members behind the scenes, out of sight -- trying to recruit them to their narrow-minded ideology, slowly sowing seeds of doubt and controversy. It's devilry plain and simple. And I'm not gonna sit by and watch it unfold. Devils who come here trying to run their tricks will get slapped across the face. If you want a forum where devils run free, there are thousands of such forums available across the web that you can join. The purpose of moderation is not to censor free speech, but to weed the forum of low-quality members. It only takes a small handful of low-quality members to turn a forum into a cesspool. Because it's the low-quality members who tend to be the most devilish, the most arrogant, the biggest know-it-alls, the biggest bullshitters.

@Annoynymous Because political threads like that tend to rapidly devolve into egos talking past one another. Nothing good was going to come from that thread at the point that it was at. And your question was answered anyhow. Many people on this forum are not mature enough to handle serious discussions about politics or government. It just turns into an ego battle. Many political threads end up getting locked.

Intelligent nerdy guys can earn lots of money and buy their way into a girl's heart. It's a classic mating strategy. Look at Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, etc. They seem to have no problem finding a wife. If you're so smart, use your smarts to get the girl. BTW, there are many girls out there who LOVE intelligent, nerdy guys. Just don't be a creeper! The thing girls hate most is creepers, not nerds. Nerds are the hip thing nowadays. Creepers will always be uncool. Girls who love intelligent guys are my fave type of girl! For selfish reasons

@billiesimon What are you talking about? Girls get far more emotionally attached to guys, all else being equal. Your perspective is way self-centered on this issue. Girls get so attached to guys that they will stay with the guy even if he beats her and treats her like shit. This is a very serious problem for women. Also, not all girls are socialites with 100s of friends. Tons of introverted girls out there. And finding a good guy is not easy. Not every random dick will do.

The issue is when a devilsh ego comes here and tries to "school" or "save" others in a combative way. Which is just the height of egotism.

There is no crisis. Just stop bullshitting and keyboard-jockeying. That's all. You are free to discuss any personal development related topic on this forum as long as you do so intelligently, without having some sort of ideological or egoic agenda. Just be chill, normal, and don't start hysterics, fear-mongering, or preaching. And don't talk with authority about nonduality unless you have lots of direct experience. And even then, speak lightly. People who start claiming nonsense like, "You are not God" will be banned. There is not going to be any discussion tolerated on this matter because it is pure ignorance spoken by a devilish ego.

Enough gossip and fake controversy. Go do the work. There are people who join here who are not interested in learning, but preaching their ideas. People who I determine are here without a genuine desire to learn, will be banned. It's not hard to see people on here who are consistent BSers, and also do not understand nonduality, yet keep acting as though they do. Don't come here to teach me or others nonduality. Be here to learn and have an open mind. If anything, I am way too lax with moderation on this forum. Most people should rightly be banned for spouting their arrogant nonsense under the present of spirituality. Egoless and Source_Mystic were acting like devils. And for this they have been banned.

@Mirror of Confusion Yes, that's planned.

Rights are conceptual creations of the mind. Take a look at what a right is. Your rights are whatever you imagine them to be and whoever else you succeed in convincing to imagine them with you.

@inFlow That's exactly right. That's called a state of profound not-knowing. In the absolute sense, no knowledge is possible. Enlightenment is the realization that nothing can be known. Knowing collapses into simple but mysterious, profound, infinite being. This is not only correct, it is the ultimate Truth. But there is still deeper to go. Don't stop just there. This is still just the tip of the iceberg of not-knowing. Also, don't be surprised it this state of not-knowing fades as the ego reasserts itself. Try to keep the not-knowing going as long as possible. Don't resist it. Notice that it is peaceful and nice. You have not really hit rock bottom. Rock bottom is MUCH deeper. But you're on the right track

@Rilles I dare you to plug 30mg of 5-MeO
