You are misleading people about things you do not fully understand yet.

Olive oil tends to be quite bitter. You might want to find a more neutral oil, like MCT oil.

Life is indulgence. The key question is: Is your indulgence turning into dysfunction? If you call yourself an "incel" then the most important thing you need to do is to get out of the house and start socializing. Stop living in your virtual world of video games, Youtube, social media, Reddit, and online forums. Go connect with real people in the real world.

You gotta keep in mind that introversion/extroversion is a spectrum. Many people are somewhere in the middle. For me, I am very introverted and have been my whole life. Yet most people who meet me face to face would think I am an extrovert because one-on-one I can get very animated and go into a deep conversation with some close friend. But I am terrible at small talk or meeting new people because the shallowness of it bores me and drains my energy. For me, the introversion label fits perfectly. And I know others whom it fits perfectly too. And I also know extroverts who are just the opposite: they go into a bar and light up like a Christmas tree. As an introvert I just can't do that. Small talk wears me out. I need quiet intimate environments, not noisy clubs or bars. All that said, I can still push myself to go to a bar and be extroverted. It just feels very unnatural. So a lot this has to do with what feels most natural to you. Would you rather have 100 friends who you rarely have a deep conversation with, or 3 really close friends? Extroverts tend to have 100s of friends, so many they don't even have time to meet them for more than 10 minutes. An introvert will have a couple good friends but spend hours talking to them. Of course, as with all theories, categories, and models, don't let it limit you. Use it to deepen your understanding, and if it doesn't help you do that, throw it away. For me it's a handy distinction which explains how I tend to act.

A bit of a hiccup. It's coming soon.

@AdamDiC Great insights there. Careful not to get too cocky though. Treat these substances with respect or they will slap you. @MM1988 Did you do pure MDMA in a quiet setting at home? Or did you just pop a pill at a rave? Doing it at a rave will of course produce few profound insights. It also sounds like you have a high tolerance, therefore requring appropriately higher dosage.

Paradox is what happens when the finite mind tries to model the infinite universe. When you are awake, there is no paradox. It just is and it makes perfect sense. But not to the mind.

@0ne Try a psychedelic

"The brain" is made out of consciousness. End of story. It's as simple as that. Where else have you seen a brain but inside your consciousness? Really look! It is impossible for anything to exist outside your consciousness. Try to name one thing which contradicts what I said. And notice you are wrong each time.

This is a very classic spiritual trap. Sexual repression does not work and will actually retard your development. True celebacy comes AFTER decades of deep spiritual work. It must come naturally, not be forced. People think they can ape enlightened masters and become enlightened that way -- by copying their external behaviors -- but that doesn't work. What's required is an inner transformation, which only comes from deep practice. This is the whole problem of the Catholic Church in a nutshell. Also, don't compare yourself at 20 years old to a 60 year old yogi. The hormone levels are totally different. In their 20's many of these yogis were likely fornicating like rabbits. See Gandhi as one example.

@1liamo78 Report away. I just found it amusing you wanted to go to hell and then seemed surprised you went there. Negative thinking on psychedelics is bad idea. They will amplify your thoughts by 1000x.

@1liamo78 Your memory of this bad trip will fade fairly quickly, so don't worry about it too much. When you get in the ring, sometimes you'll get your ass kicked. But it's okay. You will recover and be ready for more rounds. And always remember that every trip is different. Don't let any one trip color all your future trips.

Lol, then what are you complaining about? You got exactly what you wanted. What you learned is: don't be cocky with psychedelics. If you treat them like toys, they will slap you around. It was an important lesson. From now on you will respect psychedelics and your trips should go better. Proper dosage is also very important. Don't over do it.

@MrDmitriiV I think you're misunderstanding what an introvert is. Introvert: someone who get energized being alone, drains energy being with people. Introverts make fewer but deeper friendships. Doesn't like to approach new people, prefers new people to approach them. Extrovert: someone who gets energized being with people. Extroverts makes lots of shallow friendships. Loves to approach new people and make new friends.

Yes, that's my point. That makes language relative vs absolute.

@Voyager I find that trips don't require much thought. They know just what to give you. Just be mindful of dosage and set and setting.

@tsuki All language is dualistic. For language to work at all it requires making relative distinctions. You're way overcomplicating this. The Absolute cannot be spoken or even thought. Wittgenstein did not fathom nonduality and his philosophy is not worth much even though he has a few great lines to quote. Derrida's analysis of language is much more on-point.

Lol, so passive-aggressive!

I don't think the question was whether it's doable. The question was, why do it?

A pathetic excuse.

Traps abound in this work. We overcome the lower traps to advance to the higher traps.

A taste of your own pedantic medicine

It's a very important distinction. If you fail to make this distinction you will get yourself into all sorts of trouble. Most everyday language is coming from and speaking about the relative domain. This needs to be clearly understood. So if your spouse says to you: "Hey, did you take the trash out?" you do not reply with, "I don't exist and trash is just an illusion." When a question is asked from the relative domain, the answer must meet the question where it is at. And as for the Absolute domain, it's really hard to speak about anyway. So anything you say about it will ultimately devolve into contradictions and paradoxes because language is dualistic. We do our best speaking about these things, always remembering that we will always fall short of the Truth with our explanations. Do other people really exist? Nope. But we must still live life as if they do for practical reasons. Is money real? Nope. But we still need to earn it to feed ourselves. Is food real? Nope. But we still need to eat it in order to keep the illusion of our bodies going. Is time real? Nope. But we still need to set our clocks to the same time so we can coordinate. In a world of only illusion, illusion becomes the reality.

@moon777light You will get better and quicker at feeling it with practice. When you first start, your practices will feel rusty. That's okay. Just keep doing the best you can. Don't let perfectionism interfere with your practice. Give yourself time and leeway. Trust that things will sort themselves out after a few weeks of practice.

The ego likes to make a big epic struggle out of awakening. Stay mindful of how you're playing up the drama. It isn't necessary. You can trip calmly in a very pleasant yet profound way. Every trip is unique. One trip doesn't really say much. Do 30 trips and then you'll have a decent sense of the terrain and where you stand. P.S. It sounds like your dose was way too high. Stay at 125ug of LSD (1 tab) for now. Blasting your mind with psychedelic overdoses is counter-productive. You want to find a comfortable dose where you are able to contemplate and still remember.
