Don't do more. Just take a few months break.

It's like looking at God thru different lenses. There is no right or wrong lens. It's not about trust, it's about contemplating the nature of consciousness and experiencing how the mind works.

1) Because the people who classify these things are just being mechanical about it. 2) It also depends on your genetics. For some people weed is a psychedelic and for others it is not. 3) What I don't endorse about weed is the stoner sub-culture and the chronic use of weed. There is no problem with using weed occassionally for a trip. But that's not what these stoners do.

Except there is a key difference. I know that morality is an invention, but vegans do not. They operate from an objective, normative ethics, regardless of what they might say.

The key thing they seem to be missing is the realization that morality is a human construct. That doesn't mean moral issues shouldn't be considered, but the foundation must be to see that morality is an invention, and moralizing to others is a kind of trap. And then, just at the level of PR and optics, being militant about veganism just turns people off and has a counter-productive effect. Since most people are eating as part of a deep culture which cannot be changed overnight. People need to undergo years of moral development first, and most people are barely surviving.

They don't obscure anything, but you can get tricked by them in the sense that if a certain facet or truth is revealed, you can take that to mean something it may not mean, or you can narrow your understanding of consciousness to that one facet. Psychedelics reveal many hidden facets of consciousness, but there's no telling which ones you might get fixated on. If you only use a few different psychedelics then that's like looking at consciousness through one lens, so that can become limiting. But if you don't do psychedelics, you're also looking at consciousness through a single lens. So it's not like you can avoid this problem. The traps related to using psychedelics to make sense of reality will mostly be in how you interpret or make sense of the experiences and what you tell yourself about them. So you have to be careful about your interpretations and also about spinning spiritual fantasies in your mind. During and after a psychedelic experience your mind will be tempted to spin up some fantasies about it. Maybe now you tell yourself that God is one your side, looking out for you, or that you have some special powers which you don't really have. Etc. You have to be careful not to add a bunch of human stuff on top of your raw experiences. You have to be epistemically careful with psychedelics as you must be without psychedelics. The passion that psychedelics bring can make you forget about epistemic rigor, but it's as important as ever. Just because you had an experience of God does not mean you understand the full picture. Almost certainly you don't.

You could replace heroin with meth, makes no difference to the higher point.

That is because it's too much consciousness for a human rodent to handle.

It just depends on how you are using them and what you can handle.

He's an egomaniac and he uses scientiology for slave labor. They serve the function of blowing smoke up his ass, stroking his ego, and being his personal servants.

You can just discuss books without mentioning the book list.

It's a cult of bat-shit people. You are supporting their criminal enterprise. And if you keep doing that I hope they hurt you, to teach you a lesson.

What you have to do is stop yourself thinking. Just work without thinking these things.

Stop saying nonsense.

Because meditation and yoga cannot do what psychedelics can do. But I have always been for the fundamentals of hard work.

You don't need my acknowledgement. You know what is good and what is not.

Just as one example, studies show that chronic weed use increases risk for various diseases, memory problems, etc. Psychedelics put a lot of stress on your brain and nervous system. It is impossible to give some simplistic rule for how much is too much. It will vary based on your unique genetics and no one knows for sure. But if you think your trips don't have a physical cost on your body, you are a fool.

It's ultimately not different from a heroin addiction. You want to live in a constant extremely positive state, and that ends up ruining your natural reward system and sober life. Sober life can never feel as good as a heroin high. At least not without decades of development. Death can come in multiple ways: Suicide Careless accident Delusional thinking Overdose Disillusionment with human life Losing your mind / insanity

You just have to mature-up and let go of infinite love. Accept that you will never feel that kind of love sober, and go on with life. Humans are not meant to access that kind of love on a regular basis. You are using a cheat code which is breaking the game. Spiritual teachers have warned you many times about not chasing states. Well, that's the mistake you're making.

Many, many ways. The constant use of psychedelics will make you lose touch with reality, make you ungrounded, make you weak and avoidant of hard work, ruin your motivation for business and personal development, make you irresponsible, leads to spiritual bypassing, will ruin your physical health, will cause physical injury, and eventually suicide or death. As I said in my traps video, unsustainable lifestyles are a trap. You cannot keep being constantly intoxicated. This will absolutely destroy your life. Stop bullshitting yourselves about this. Just because I speak highly of psychedelics does not mean I condone such abuse of them. Many of you guys will ruin your lives if you don't wise up and get back to the fundamentals of hard work.

You are addicted to mystical states. Understandable. That's the best thing to be addicted to. But it's gonna backfire on you. You should consider stopping before you hurt yourself, since you eventually will hurt yourself.

Yes it is.

What music do crocodiles like?

You just stop thinking about it, focus on other things, don't take any psychedelics, and let time pass. Pretty soon you will forget about it.
