Sobriety is already beautiful.

Enjoy, it's going to be amazing.

By yourself or with friends? If you have no houses to go into. I recommend a spacious park with a somewhat low dose maybe 1 tab of LSD or 1.5g of mushrooms. Enough space so you can seclude yourself from others, but also a park that accessible, has bathrooms, and makes you feel safe. I would avoid going into a reservation, if its your first time, as you may get lost or be overwhelmed by the bugs (although I've done it as an experienced user, with no issues) Camping is also a good idea or renting a motel/hotel room. If its just you alone, I'd just recommend walking around town with a book bag filled with water, money, snacks (mixed nuts), and stuff you like to do. Like if you like to draw, bring a blanket, chill at a local park and draw whatever you see. Make sure to communicate well if you're tripping with someone as it is very easy to misinterpret somebody's behavior.

Let go of wanting to keep her. Otherwise you will ALWAYS worry about this. Even if you manage to get into a long-term relationship with her. 2 years down the line you will think, "What if she gets bored? what if she finds a better guy?" Just let go. Be happy alone or be happy being with someone, but most important, don't worry just be happy and to do that, you have to let go. additionally, You will make yourself look unattractive the more you cling as well.

Just follow your heart. you're just denying yourself your true desires if you need Leo to validate them. The only person you truly need validation from is yourself. Do you want to have one night stands and go clubbing? why?

Remove refined sugar in your diet so you won't crave it and add satiating meals that have protein, fats, and fiber, this way you will be satiated and not feel hungry. Like Oatmeal, eggs, fish, high quality meat, vegetables like Kale and broccoli. Eat sugary foods moderately and pick healthier choices like fruits.

If what you're asking is how can you reach for full potential as a male. The answer is to find your purpose and lead your life with passion. Confident, strong, and clear and at the same time, genuine, present, authentic, and loyal. Elliot Hulse is awesome, he knows what he's talking about.

What am I passionate about? why? What makes me happy to do? why? What do I look forward to doing? why? If money was not an issue, what would I do? why? what kind of people do I admire for what they do? why? Who am I? Who do I want to be? What can I do with myself? The purpose is to just Be. Realize the walls is self-created!

I think James Fadiman did a research article where he gave it to scientists who were having trouble solving a problem. however, I got some feedback; for example, your paper is about human actualization and personal growth, but you dismiss the research focusing on treating anxiety and depression. I would say that treating anxiety or depression is helping someone personally grow. Also remember, you want to try to be as unbiased as possible with your research, although I understand how hard that can be sometimes.

I'm in the psych field. you can easily google some of this stuff. https://www.verywellmind.com/the-9-highest-paying-psychology-careers-2794940 You gotta ask yourself what you want to do to serve the world. Do you want to help people? research psychology? learn & create models about psychological functions? Going to school for psychology you take classes that covers emotions, "mental disorders", behavior, cognitive functions, neuroscience, memory, psychology in social situations and other distinct topics that you won't see in a 101 or 102 course. Everything is expressed through models, concepts, theories, and scientific research. you can apply these psychological concepts to various situations, just gotta find a job that wants that kind of perspective.

Since we're uploading images I feel like this describes my non-dual experience.

Notice where that "feeling of solid" is happening in. You say she feels solid, but what you're feeling is a perception in your awareness, that exists within you.

Not even! Way too traditional and ideological. and American Natives mastered the use of psychedelics like peyote.

What Leo is saying is more nuanced than that. "As an epistemological position, solipsism holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure; the external world and other minds cannot be known and might not exist outside the mind. As a metaphysical position, solipsism goes further to the conclusion that the world and other minds do not exist." - Wiki on solipsism. It's more like saying, nobody exists not even you (ego), at least not in the long-term, besides awareness/God and God plays everybody, including everyone mind, almost like a puppeteer master. In addition, you have to understand that you are not separate from God, you are also God itself and so is everyone, but that means there is only one being and that being is you. The whole world is you playing with yourself. It's difficult to explain, but you'll know it when you see it. .... lol on a side note, Leo may need to make a video explaining the difference between solipsism and non duality. @anonymous I think you just need to find what Leo is pointing to with his language.

USA. Home to various religions, ethnicities, and historically, the ground where native Americans went on vision quests. Ever read any Walt Whitman poems? (they're great and indirectly speak of higher conscious states). One of the most developed and open-minded countries. So much beauty can be had right here in the US, especially when you step away from cities. Some of this could be said about Canada too though

"I am he As you are he As you are me And we are all together" How is the world not you? if it is literally coming out of you. but at the same time, you are the others.

I recommend Psilocybin.

@pluto Thank you, it helped.

Mmm. I guess Brexit wasn't such a bad idea?

Use whatever word you like. The only thing I said when I realized God is "Oh my God, oh my God" with my jaw open, acknowledging the extent of this realization.

very vague questions. What kind of physical health issue? and one size fits all treatment is a narrow way to view health. True health encompasses various components such as mental, physical, diet, and spiritual health. Which can then be broken even further lol. I voted for physical fitness but what good is physical fitness if one has a poor diet, a tendency to be easily irritated, and severe anxiety about death.

I wouldn't worry too much about whether what you're doing is spiritual or not. Notice how it just distracts you and creates conflict instead of just Being. I feel like whatever I do is what I need to do. Everything feels spiritual to me in those states.

I can relate a bit and have felt like that before. Do it gradually and stop relying on them less and less. I agree with @Sahil Pandit.

For me: I've usually just taken it in the morning and chilled home. I will meditate around the end or in the middle if there is a desire to do so. Also maybe some stretching as well to open up the body. This is assuming if I feel like it, cause I may just lay in my bed and go within or try to express to myself how I am feeling. But, I get insights no matter what I am doing because I feel so conscious about everything I'm doing. You can shower or take a walk just around the block and get profound insights and visions. I usually switch between self to no self perspectives even both at the same time, and contemplate extensively. Psychedelics literally showed me how to be. There's not really anything you need to do besides take it in my experience.

Psychedelics* are already pretty damn profound. I think the insights one has on these substances has to do more with the person's journey and less to do with the substances. Although that notion could change if we're talking about 5-meo.
