Geez dude. My life situation is very different.. But a lot of these responses apply to my life “problems” as well. I was honestly in tears reading some of these responses, thank you..

So I might be doing my first trip on Saturday. I’ll most likely be doing either 1/4 or 1/2 a hit of LSD. I was thinking about writing down a couple questions, and maybe having them on sticky notes in certain areas. Or I could just write them on a piece of paper in the room. Not sure exactly which things I want to include, but most likely things related to non duality, no self, thought etc. Would this be ok? Or should I not try to direct the trip, and let it take me where ever it wants too?

It can be pretty interesting to meditate while you're extremely tired or relaxed. I’ve had some strange experiences with this. A couple times a thought would come up, and I would doze off for a split second and the thought would turn into a dream, it was really bizarre lol.

Thank you man. That’s some good advice. I was also going to do one to remind myself that I’m tripping and that it’ll pass or something. Naaa you’re good. It’s nice to hear the good and the bad side of what can happen. I’ll be sure to share the experience Thanks dude. - And thank you everyone else, tons of good advice in here. I’ll probably check this post out again before my trip if I get nervous, but I’m feeling pretty good about it now.

I was going to try mushrooms within the next week or 2. After reading some of Leo’s comments in a different topic, I’m kind of afraid now. Not really trying to get PTSD from mushrooms.. Would it be best to start with something else? (LSD or AL-LAD I’m assuming, but which one in your opinion, and why?) Also if you’ve had a bad trip on mushrooms; what was your mood/setting/preparation like? Current plan: Be in a good mood Cut out stimulation a week before hand and increase meditation length Clean house/food made etc Have some nostalgic video game music on tap Incase the experience turns dark 1-2 hours of meditation before taking them start with 1-1.5g I’m kind of afraid now though. I do have social anxiety and I don’t want another psychological issue from something I’m hoping will help with my current one.

My lungs kinda hurt when I sit cross legged and do the deep breathing. Anyone else experience this in the beggining? I can do deep breathing in a chair but when I’m cross legged it feels like I’m really straining my lungs.

Leo talks a lot about how Christianity was originally about enlightenment. Google is completely filled with other nonsense about spiritual awakening and other stuff. I’m having a hard time finding any sources on this.

Yea like I said I have social anxiety. I’m not afraid of emotions; I have zero depression or anxiety alone with my thoughts. I’m afraid of “mushrooms having highest potential to cause hairy trips” As for what exactly I’m afraid of? I have no idea, because I don’t have any experience tripping. I’m pretty familiar with no self/non duality/beliefs/thoughts. Like if it’s just an emotional thing I think I could deal with it, but if it’s like being stabbed in the neck over and over or something.. Idk. I’m gonna do the 1-1.5 but idk if im gonna go for the larger doses

Anyone try hemp seed oil, or hemp oil made from the actual plant? What was your experience?

They sell pure CBD oil on amazon. You just have to look for ones made with aerial parts. If you just search for “CBD oil” they will be hemp seed oil. I’ve heard a lot of good things too. And yea I’m with you On the THC, doesn’t do much for me.

Meditation for sure.

Nvm. Found new idea!

Not sure if you’ve seen this or not. He goes pretty in depth on what you’re asking though

Nvm

You might get some value out of this. I find that the do nothing technique goes well with what he talks about.

Recently I’ve noticed that if I watch or listen to someone a shit load I tend to kinda mimic their speech patterns. Does anyone else do this? I never realized it until I heard myself in a recording, I sound like fuckin Leo

I mean you obviously didn’t think giving him money in the moment was the thing to do, but he did. How do you determine who’s right? Nothing is actually right or wrong, perspectives are all relative.

If the ultimate goal is to reach enlightenment, wouldn’t pounding an “I” statement of any kind into your head be counter productive? I’m kinda working meditation,understanding my thoughts and emotions, my diet and other stuff like that before I really get into self inquiry. An idea I’ve been playing with is using self affirmations, something like “I’m independent of the good or bad opinions of others” or “I love and accept every part of myself” but idk.. when I start trying to elimate that “I” wouldn’t “I” statements be harmful? Or if I actually do start to love myself, I’ll be more resistant to letting go of it. Maybe I could just say phrases that aren’t personalized? What do you guys think? If I decide to do affirmations I gotta be sure, cuz I plan on doing like an hour or more a day and drilling that shit in my head.

Anyone have any experience with 1P-LSD? Most trip reports say it feels exactly the same as traditional LSD, i'm still doing research on it but i'm curious if anyone here has any input.

Wasn’t sure where to post this question. Sorry if this isn’t the right area.

Check out Leo’s video for using death as a motivator. Your life is finite man, you could live another 60 years or you could die tonight. Get back on that path try to make what ever time you have left the best it can be. Also reach enlightenment and never worry about death again apparently. Good luck, I know it’s a bitch to actually get started again, but you’ll build momentum quickly and you’ll feel so much fuckin better

Yea but I’m this case if you pick the wrong mushroom, one that looks almost exactly like it you can die.. Makes me nervous. It doesn’t seem thaaat bad now that I’m looking into it. I’ve always really liked looking at mushrooms anyway. For a very brief period I actually considered being a mycologist.

I’ve had social anxiety since around high school. It was pretty bad up until about 2-3 years ago. It’s gotten gradually better, but I feel like I’ve stopped progressing much. It’s not like crippling to the point where I can’t leave my house. I’m a server at a restaurant, I can go in public places and stuff but very often I get stuck in my head and feel anxious as shit around people. I’ve been meditating 40-60 minutes per day for about 3 weeks, and spend almost all my free time watching Leo’s videos/other Enlightened people (ordered some books on amazon too, don’t wanna just watch videos) but yea, I’m fucking determined to get rid of the ego, and have peace. He thing is, I kinda have a history of smoking weed, like a lot. I was definitely addicted to smoking for years, every day.. multiple times a day. Should I just continue to meditate, and start self inquiry or should I try some mushrooms to help speed up the process? Anyone with anxiety issues have any experiences with mushrooms?

Yea I was actually looking into that yeaterday. I’m just afraid of doing it wrong somehow. Even if I’m as sure as I can possibly get, I would still have that lingering fear that I messed up and it might ruin my trip. It’s still a posibility though, we’ll see. Oh I don’t smoke anymore. I did for 6+ years though. It was definitely terrible for me, I became very dependent on it. It’s been 2-3 years since I’ve smoked deleted the attached rant. Leo’s video on the illusionary nature of thought is actually really interesting. I’m gonna do the 50 “flattening the image” thoughts a day and try adding a 20 minute mindfulness meditation where I only focus on my thoughts. After just writing 2 thoughts and flattening then I already feel a bit of relief. Oh and what do you guys think about affirmations? Like I could repeat a couple phrases that logically make sense to me but my subconscious still hasn’t adopted. Anyone have success with affirmations?

Same.
