Sempiternity

To me this all sounds like the internet version of "I want to speak to the manager!". Sounds like some are way too emotionally invested in this forum, as though their identity is wrapped up in it, so they take it personally like it's an attack on them themselves. Maybe use this forum for what it was designed for, a tool to become self-actualized, so none of this will even be an issue.

My dog ate a plate of pot brownies once. And another time ate a bag of mushrooms. She was out of it for many hours, and could barely stand. Hard to say what affect it had, although she was the most loving being I've ever known. But maybe the greatest clue of her enlightenment is that she died by mahasamadhi. I took her to the vet to put her down when she got sick. As I picked her up, she snugged into me and then went limp. She chose to die in my arms, rather than in the vet's. That's pretty high level enlightened if you ask me. Maybe it was from all the psychedelics she did.

Women dressing like men, men dressing like women, people drinking alcohol and fornicating, cats and dogs living together..mass hysteria!!

Not Leo, but can give an opinion. Just taking 5meo, probably not much more than fear of the feelings that occur with lower doses. If you're talking an ego death/awakening, then either that Christian would awaken to being God/infinite Love/the Absolute/Infinity/Truth, or they would filter the experience through their stage Blue mind and contextualize it to affirm their deeply ingrained beliefs.

The fear of that environment can make you resist letting go/surrendering. Is there anywhere at all you can go that you feel safe enough to let yourself go? Maybe a friends house, where they can accommodate that? With a sitter, you will get an idea of how your body reacts to the 5meo. If you're calm for the first few times, them maybe you can have the peace of mind to trip at home and not have to worry. Also if you do start to have an ego death, you won't be able to manage a pillow, as you'll be gone.

Sooo..nobody going to touch this lunacy?

I know many people don't follow Leo's blog, so here's the latest if you missed it. ------------------------------------------------------- Taking A Break By Leo Gura - December 12, 2020 I’m taking one month off to rest and restore my creative juices. Making Actualized-style videos is creatively taxing and exhausting. I’m going to be transitioning Actualized.org to a schedule that resembles something like 10 months on, 2 months off going forward because it’s too creatively exhausting to sustain the old nonstop release schedule. https://www.actualized.org/insights/taking-a-break-2020

Ha! That was my first thought as well. Queen!

Good to know. Thanks.

Empty stomach is crucial. You could throw up while under and aspirate in your lungs. If you're plugging, empty bowels is crucial. Also make sure you feel safe and comfortable in your environment. Have a trip sitter when starting out. Beyond all that, surrendering and letting go are the most important aspect.

Well do you think it was the breathing it into the lungs, or was it the interaction with the others drugs? If it's interaction with the drugs, how would plugging been a different outcome?

By what I saw in this video Connor Murphy very clearly has Bipolar disorder. I have a couple of friends with bipolar, and the patterns are clear as day. Psychedelics, for someone with bipolar, easily can trigger a severe manic episode, that can get you involuntarily committed to the psych ward, which is what happened with Connor. His speech pattern, delusions of grandeur, grandiose plans that will save the world, emotional breakdowns, are all textbook bipolar. I hope they have him on proper medications to stabilize his mind, as mania is no joke, it's very dangerous.

I know this is off topic, but this reminded me of a memory. I met a beautiful girl at a bar. I flirted with her and she was receptive. I asked her out on a date. She later thru text asked if her sister could come with us. I thought that was weird, but couldn't say no. After the "date" I asked her if she wanted to go on another date, this time just the two of us, and she said "oh...I didn't consider this a date, I'm a lesbian. I just thought you wanted to hang out and make a new friend". I too laughed at the situation.

Charles Manson was well known for being on a ton of acid almost constantly. Sometimes God likes to know what it is like to be psychotic.

Here comes the self pardon we all knew was coming. "Rudy Giuliani has talked to President Donald Trump about the possibility of receiving a preemptive pardon before Trump leaves office in January, The New York Times reported on Tuesday." https://www.businessinsider.com/giuliani-and-trump-discussed-preemptive-pardon-nyt-2020-12

@abrakamowse Because that is what Jesus would do.

You have to travel. Go to unfamiliar places. Be forced out of your comfort zone. Be forced to talk to people, make friends and connection to be able to survive. Go through hardships, and discover strength and resilience that you never knew you had. But, you have to actually do it. You have to actually risk everything. But, you'd rather stay in your comfortable little bubble. How much do you want to grow as a person? You want the easy way with no growth, or the hard way which will grow you in ways you can't even conceive of right now?

Over 40 courts have struck down every single one of trump's fraud cases as he has zero evidence. Not even Trump himself thinks this will go to the Supreme Court. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/29/trump-acknowledges-the-supreme-court-.html

Even though almost every source is saying it has been the most secure election is U.S. history. And even with the numerous recounts confirming that the results were true and there was no fraud. All facts pointing to a fair and just election. The recounts are pretty much done, the states certified, the court cases exhausted, you still think after all that there is going to be some miraculous huge out of the blue revelation of massive voting fraud? Not for me to understand I guess. But I honor your right to have whatever opinion you want.

As for the Op's question, the desire for Truth, not fighting against the feeling of dying, the ability to let go and surrender to death, the right dosage that's not too little to not 'get there' and not too much as to white out, are all factors that are crucial to being to breakthrough to an Awakening.

I mean isn't this technically true with nonduality teachings? God realizes God, people are imaginary dreams. Not sure if that was the point he was trying to make or not though.

To what end? What are you trying to get out of the apprenticeship? You are going to be your own best teacher. All the answers are within. I'd spend your time experimenting with psychedelics, self-inquiry, kriya yoga and so on, and discover Truth yourself. Besides, with Nonduality, any Shaman you learn from is going to be you telling yourself what you already know, as they are you, as you are everything/consciousness. As of Ayahuasca retreats, I have done many. There are many volunteers there to assist with ceremonies. You also get to participate in taking the medicine, as long as you can still function to do duties. They usually let you volunteer as many times as you like. No need to spend any money. And it's a nice environment to spend your time.

So you admit that you just made up that Democrats have committed massive voter fraud, and Republicans have "heavy and serious witnesses, including experts on forensics, cyber security including from the intelligence community, and they have sworn oaths testimonies", without any proof or evidence and not based on any facts whatsoever. Got it. Thanks for contributing.

Soo, you have credible sources for each one of these accusations then? **heard it from Trump's legal team, GOP spreading lies w/o evidence, Fox News, OANN, or Trump himself, are all not even close to credible sources of facts and truth.

Why do they have bellybuttons if they were never born and had umbilical cords? Why would God make Adam out of Mud and Eve out of a rib bone instead of just imaging them into existence?
