Rather than focus on ethics, I would recommend you really get in touch with what impact you want have in the world. Is that what you want your life to be about? The numbers game of advertising? Really? Is that the best use of Creation you can come up with? In a universe of 2000 billion galaxies, you will devote your whole life to building landing pages and min-maxing ad campaigns just so your customers can put a few more coins in their pocket?

@Emre The Truth is the Truth. Craziness and madness are human inventions. Don't be surprised that people accuse you of being mad when once you've reached the highest Truth. That is how it must appear to them. Falsehood can only survive by calling itself Truth. Black must call itself white. The Devil must remain thinking he's an angel, otherwise he cannot keep being a devil.

You got it backwards. This is very counter-intuitive stuff. Which is why it's so rarely actualized. Why not pursue your LP right now? It might seem like money is stopping you, but is that really true? Look very honesty into this question. What's really stopping you? Isn't it fear, not money?

@Afonso It's a start. But you'll need to get a lot more clear, a lot more concrete.

What else can you expect from a spiritually bankrupt society? Trump won because he perfectly represents the level of consciousness of the average American. The ego amusement park isn't so amusing in the end. It's only going to get worse. Wait till we have mainstream VR in 10 years.

For every one of those cases, we can cite 1000 cases where the guy kills his girlfriend while NOT on mushrooms. So by your logic, not doing mushrooms is very dangerous. You see how rationality plays tricks on you? I dare you to name one technology which has not resulted in the deaths of at least hundreds of people.

How come my people are not organizing to buy me Rolls Royces? How am I gonna be a beautiful, flowering being?

@JustinS From what I've researched (but haven't tried myself yet) it's this: Sherlock Glass Vapor Genie A small bed of Mullein leaf 5-meo atop the Mullein leaf Seems to me like it ought to work well. Failing that, oil pipes are best. You just need to learn how to heat them up properly. Which means you'll burn through a few batches.

Notice what's happening here. You've undertaken a path to eliminate the "I", and yet you're sitting there worried about how not having an "I" will not be good for you. OF COURSE it's not good for you! It's suicide for you. Literally. What if you already were crazy and now that you've finally started to become sane, your craziness was so deep that it is telling you that sanity is craziness, and vice versa? You deny that you already were crazy, yet isn't that exactly what a crazy person would think?

Yes, I will make a guide to psychedelics, but I need to do more research and experimentation first. It will take a year or more until I gain direct experiences with all the substances that need to be covered.

I'll give it some thought.

1 minutes is very short. But maybe something like 10 mins might work. Blog is sorta filling this function at the moment, but I do want to make some short videos too.

Be very careful with the word "consciousness". Almost every spiritual teacher uses it to mean something different. You don't really know what consciousness is.

@username Become highly enlightened, then do some heavy psychedelics, and let us know your findings. Extra credit: Take a rattlesnake bite to the ass as well, just to be sure

@arjuna If you enjoy being in state of delusion, insanity, and falsehood, by all means, go ahead. You are free to act like a dog.

The false identification you have of being a human being, or a physical being, or a separate entity, or a formed object of any kind, is to be overcome, yes. In the same way that if you believed and behaved like your were a dog, or Napoleon, we would say, that's a misguided notion (bordering on insanity) which must be overcome.

Why would there be any correlation?

@AlwaysBeNice In the same way that if you died, and then came back to life, you would be haunted by that experience.

@username You are confusing enlightenment with experiences and behavioral changes. It's like asking, "If I know that 1+1=2, will that make me immune to a rattlesnake bite?"

@DrMobius No, I haven't tried smoking it. Snorting works great for me. I know Martin prefers smoking. That may be because he's using freebase vs HCl. Don't worry, your ego won't be able to resist 30mg snorted either. It's stronger than you can ever imagine. It will haunt your dreams for years to come and leave you trembling in anxiety just thinking of snorting 30mg again.

@barry Just keep in mind there is no real growth without learning to abandon your deepest gross desires. Whether you choose to do so now, or in 20 years, you're gonna have to do it at some point. Without that, you cannot escape suffering.

Anyone ever peruse the Buddha's Eight-Fold Path? What is one of the eight folds? Right means of making a living This whole debate about spirituality vs life purpose is nonsense. Just because life doesn't have a fixed Absolute purpose doesn't mean that you as a mortal human cannot consciously undertake a goal or purpose of your own, with detachment, for shits and giggles. What else are you gonna do?

Your notions of enlightenment are WAY too idealized. That's not how it works in the real world. You do not become the Terminator, asking for more and more pain. You can disidentify with ego all you want, but the pain and discomfort may still be there. You may be in horrible pain. But deep down you'll just know it's not what you are. That doesn't make the pain disappear. And when the body is having a violent reaction, that's not up to you. That's the body doing its thing. Just because you're enlightened doesn't mean that when you get food poisoning, you go back for a second poisoned meal. That would be plain stupid. There are also many degrees of enlightenment. He was not some kind of hardcore Zen Master who sleeps on a bed of nails. I would expect a powerful chemical like 5-MeO to freak out the most hardcore of people. It's like a shotgun blast in the face.

@Outer Psychedelic trips can be long, lasting 6 to 12 hours. You will definitely get hungry during that time. Yes, there is some appetite suppression when you're on the peak, but the peak doesn't last long. I always eat a bit during my longer trips. The banana is eaten BEFORE the trip. This is just silly. Are you saying fat people never get hungry? Try not feeding a fat person for half a day and see how they feel. I have less hunger issues being skinny than when I used to be fat. Fat people are often terrified of hunger. As though it will kill them.

No drunk posting please. Do not post on this forum while tripping. Any such threads will be deleted in the future. It's a terrible idea to be posting anything publicly while under the influence.
