Sempiternity

Pretty sure 5-MEO does not build tolerance, but the opposite, as the more you use, the less you have to take to get the same effect, but I could be wrong on that.

I know across the internet talking about sourcing is a big no-no, but what specifically about talking about sourcing online can get you into trouble? What if a website or person told someone, in a country where it is legal to buy and own, how to legally get a substance, could that also have legal ramifications? I'm most definitely not asking about this site doing as such, more asking in general.

I mean, if this is true, isn't this kinda a big deal, having the son of the man who is currently the 'leader of the free world' not only doing 5-MEO-DMT, but talking about it on a public platform? Wouldn't this be one of the most significant way of getting the message of the benefits of 5-MEO out there to your average american, since maybe Mike Tyson talking about it on ESPN? Maybe if the son of the president talks more openly about it, a large amount of americans could take that as an endorsement and look into 5-MEO. Could you imagine if because of this, there was a huge influx of americans actively finding ways to do ceremonies? Doubt there'll be much of any impact out there, but it's a nice thought.

I agree with everything said here. Been thinking this forever.

I like how Leo defined meditation in this video, which is very different to how it's usually used. Instead of viewing Ego or thoughts as something other that one may be trying to supervene, here he defines it as you putting your focus and awareness on the fact that this bubble of reality is all that there is, and you are all of that bubble. He defines mediation as basking in the fact that you are the whole of the universe Now, nothing more, nothing less. I personally like that definition.

I think you're oversimplifying something that is actually quite detailed and complex, hence why Leo has over 30 hours dedicated to the subject.

Here's the first example I came across in a quick search on YouTube. It's a simple song of native chanting, drums, and flute. This could have been made by stage Purple tribal native amaicans, or it could have been produced by stage Orange producers, or it could be construed as stage Green (or above) spiritual music. See how personal the experience is to each listener.

Watch it with the insults. That's not tolerated here. What SD stage someone is at when they make said music, does not necessarily correlate with the SD stage the person listening to it is at. And it's subjective how that person interprets said music. Two people at the same stage could interpret the same music totally different ways.

How old are you? I'm curious.

What constitutes what puts one music genera, band, or song into one SD stage vs another? Is it the tempo? What instruments are used? The words in the lyrics? I think music transends Spiral Dynamics. It's a matter of personal preference if it's good or not, or meaningful or not.

Not supposed to talk sourcing, for obvious reasons, as unfortunate as that is, on this forum. But, if you're really truly passionate about this work, you'll be unstoppable about finding a way. If you really dive deep into researching, one lead will lead to another, until you find the trusted source in your area. That's what most of us here did, and so can you. *Hint. Look up where it's legal closest to you, and go from there. Good luck!

I write fiction stories. All my stories are teaching Nonduality through fun fictional stories, in ever genera. I believe most people would not be interested in hearing lectures on Nonduality, as it is threatening to their core beliefs. But, if you are subtle about it, sharing the teaching here and there throughout an engaging fun story, then it's more palatable to your average person. To give an example, Star Wars introduced Spirituality to a large portion of the world, hidden in a fun Sci-Fi Adventure film. The Force is Oneness.

Of course I understand the movies. I think you misunderstand what I was saying. Not that that interpretation is what I think the movies are actually about, but a fun possibility of a direction to go in for the end of the series. To use the Matrix as an analogy for true Nonduality, that consciousness is all that exists, and this bubble of reality is all that there is. Anywho, just having fun playing with conceptual ideas.

People like to use the 'Matrix', waking up to the 'real' word, for an analogy for awakening. If the filmmakers really wanted to do the analogy for Awakening justice, the series would end with the Matrix itself waking up to the fact that the Matrix is all that exists. Neo, Trinity, Morpheus, the war with the machines, and the 'real' world, all happened within the Matrix (the matrix representing consciousness). It ends with the Matrix realizing that it will be creating iterations of 'The One', and they're adventures, for eternity.

This now being all there is, is what is so, whether you are conscious of it or not. If conscious of it now, focused on it, one sees that there is no life or suffering, just this, whatever this is now. But, it's also fun to get lost in the created story of life, all the joys of dualities, even suffering.

Look right now at direct experience. All there is is right Now, no more no less. There is no suffering in this direct experience, is there? That is just a thought / concept. That is the benefit. This didn't change my life, as I have no past to draw a comparison to. But, knowing I am only this now, and nothing else, there is just acceptance and appreciation for this bubble. I can't suffer from a past. I don't suffer from 'others'. I just am always now appreciating what is now, and nothing else.

All there is is a sentient field of consciousness that is made of nothing, but still dreams. Everything in this bubble of reality, including you, everyone in it, and the environment, are all this dream. Everything in this reality bubble is one thing, which is dream. And it all only exists now. This is where all dualities collapse. Creation and destruction are one, as this bubble is created and destroyed at the same time. There is no past or future, only now. Self and other are the same thing, this dream bubble. There is nothing else but this dream bubble. Nothing exists outside of what it is Now. And you are it. Not a person experiencing it with other people that are separate from it. Only this Now, and it's a dream, you are all of the dream, and so is everyone you think you know.

It's not always possible to have an experienced trip-sitter available. The thing most don't take into account, as Leo says 'it can take 100 trips to reach a full Awakening, and it can take 100 Awakenings to fully understand God' (I'm paraphrasing here). Sure, you can get a glimpse in one ceremony, but it take alot of work of exploring the infinite to understand it. So if this is the case, going to a experienced practitioner is just not practical. For this long process, home tripping is the most viable. Unless one has a partner or friend that is willing to trip-sit for every trip, which would be most ideal, for everyone else alone tripping alone is going to be the most likely option. As long as the tripper fasts so they won't vomit while under, is in a safe space free from any dangers if the person thrashes about, and is in a space that isn't in hearing distance to others incase the tripper screams or yells while under. And as the tripper gets more and more experienced and used to the trips, the more likeliness of them having less and less possibilities of freakouts.

Sounds like a cult, not the word that gets thrown around alot, but cult in the literal sense. An ego devil that preys upon the weak, to make himself a god in their eyes, so he can take advantage of them. Any teacher that makes themselves the focal point, is a cult-leader wannabe. And of course they were all nice, people in cults usually are. That's how they are able to recruit more people. Glad you didn't fall for it, sad for those that did.

Holy shit, this made me laugh. Good humor, sir.

Mostly. It's enough to survive on / cover all the basics so I don't 'have' to work. So if I live simply, I'll be comfortable. But, I will most likely have to do more, as large financial needs come up, like if the house needs to new roof, or new kitchen, or I need to get a new vehicle, and so on. I am in the process of leisurely writing many books, so if published might be a good source of future income. And I have an interest in doing spiritual life-coaching, which I could do from home. But both are something that I'm passionate about and 'want' to do, not something I'm forced to do.

Yeah, not supposed to talk sourcing, for obvious reasons, as unfortunate as that is, it's still the reality we live in. But, if you're really truly passionate about this work, you'll be unstoppable about finding a way. If you really dive deep into researching, you'll find a way to get these substances. One lead will lead to another, until you find the trusted source in your area. That's what most of us here did, and so can you.

@rayamonoes Maybe consider that when you took the 5-MEO it was the feeling exactly as it was supposed to be. What you describe is what most feel, like it's too much, you might be overdosing, or that you might be dying. That fear you felt was very normal. What it comes down to is your ability to surrender to that feeling. When you feel like you're dying, to say "fuck it", and just let go. It's not so much which psychedelic, as many of them will get you to that moment, but how you use them to practice letting go. Letting go is beautiful and blissful, it's the holding on that makes it a bad trip. So I'd suggest picking any of the psychedelic that people usually suggest for such things, be it 5-MEO-DMT, 5-MEO-MALT, LSD, Psilocybin or whatever, and start low and work your way up to that feeling, and learn to accept it, learn to feel into it, and maybe even learn to love it. That's where the magic happens. P.S., Welcome to the forum.

What is happening Now, this, is God's imagination. Thoughts, feelings, sensations, and yes Ego, are all part of this, this reality bubble. So yes, Ego is part (this is a fallacy, as 'part of' points to separation, which there is none) of God's Oneness.
