You may have reached a kind of plateau for your particular framework, which now takes something more to reach a higher insight. Or even something meta perhaps? Sounds like a nice time to enjoy that state for awhile though.

It can. Yes. its better to use volume metric and a small syringe.

@DefinitelyNotARobot Yeah beliefs seem to be an automatic function of how our mind constructs our narratives about reality. I dont know exactly how they came into existence outside them being a function of how our mind holds ideas, to then use as a tool for our survival. Leos got a video titled "The mechanics of Belief." Im sure you may find some answers in that video.

@DefinitelyNotARobot Thought is basically a mental representation of an idea. Its what the mind uses to designate course of action or non action. Belief is your determination of the accuracy of the idea whether valid or invalid to your frame of reference. Implicit or Explicit just comes down to utility and communication of the idea across paradigms.( other perspectives) Beliefs would be a prior set of thoughts that you have already determined to be valid or invalid that are then used implicitly to inform new thoughts.

A belief is a combination of thoughts together to form the description of the belief that you hold as true or false.

@Manusia oh fuck , of course the book list, yeah thats a good one. I agree with all yours for sure. What do you think about your own thinking process and how it has changed because of Leo?

@Michael Jackson How did your trip go?

Awareness Alone is Curative Introspection Reality is Distinctions

@NoSelfSelf Do you mean 6 Pillars? lol

No one does Loving kindness? I was surprised. Goes to show how selfish we are..

Yeah I agree completely. Thats how I was able to make sense of it as well.

@Breakingthewall Yeah I also contemplated this, when you hear another pov say this, it seems like it becomes immediately invalid because I am listening to that from my own pov, which I am directly validating? There can only be a subjective self validating it to itself, so the need to even tell anyone should fall off id think?

@Osaid Yeah i seen the video awhile ago, but just to recall that video then make the edit to a gif like that was clever as fuck lol.

@Tyler Robinson Im fucking dying over here!!! How did you even think to make that? LMAO

@Extreme Z7 You can download "dark reader" as an extension. Here is what it looks like

@OBEler I havent ever tried that? If im ever able to get my hands on some i may give that a try. My first breaktrhough dose on just 5meO was amazing! lol.

@OBEler Sure, The first step is meditate for 20min. This will put you in a calm state to start in, now dose is most important. Id start out with MDMA about 120mg. (use a microgram scale), and also have 3.5G of shrooms. Now the dose will be effected by potency and batch of MDMA as well as potency and strain of shrooms, so i cant really go further on that one. The timing is most important and very tricky because individuals metabolize things at different rates. I can only give you what timing i used. You wanna shoot for both substances "Peaking" at the same time. So if you have done these individually, try to remember how long into the trip it took you to peak and try to time your peaks arrival in the same ball park. I take the MDMA first and wait 30min. Then take the shrooms. (ground up in a cup of orange juice filled only to the brim of the ground up herb, so its almost a "shot" of shrooms, stir and let soak for 2min, down that.) Now go into meditation and wait, In about 45min you should peak on both. But this will vary upon individual and potency of your substance, so the timing for you may be different than what i listed, but thats the process. You can expect intense euphoria, feeling energized, very open to communication, increased openness, Feelings of gratitude, You may have realizations of any kind. Wave like experience, your thinking may want to jump to different topics quickly, inability to focus, urges of any kind, and the comedown isnt too bad, its the same as any ordinary comedown, feeling dull or confused or tired are common. Surprisingly not worse than if these are taken alone, it was pretty much exactly the same. Once it all wears off document your experience into your trip journal or w.e. you have but make sure you document your observations or else the trip was kind of pointless lol. This is not a process im teaching you for fun, its a serious experiment your under taking but it will also be quite enjoyable. There are always dangers i dont have to mention to you here, so trip responsibly. As a side note, at one point during my trip, i laid on my bed and listened to Youtube "reading music" with headphones in and practiced "letting go" in this state and it had very therapeutic benefits for me. Good Luck!

@Fadious We call that the "hippie flip" where im from. lol. Ive tried it and its amazing! Its good your responsibly taking the correct steps, being early in your journey. I went though a whole personal protocol on my methodical use of psychedelics and how i did trials on different stuff for experimentation. Hippy Flip was one i looked forward to and it delivered lol

Yeah your totally right. Been there all too often in the past. lol. Have you ever tried any unique combinations?

@Fadious Right that was my same experience the second substance taken was way more mild. Microdosing im surprised to hear caused that tho? given the fact your taking so little your MDMA trip shouldnt have been very effected unless your MDMA was just weaker or cut? But it very well may have been the reason.

@thepixelmonk I verified this in my own direct experience. Tripping on one or the other will reduce the effects of the other if taken too closely together.

Yes, because they both function on some of the same neuroreceptor's these 2 substances do create a cross tolerance but can also synergize together, so taken together your gonna feel much more depleted the following day and will be unable to consume another psychedelic with out it be greatly reduced in effects. if your planning on tripping on them separately, like a Saturday for MDMA and the next day Shrooms, your gonna have a weaker trip for the shrooms, and vice versa, but The shrooms wont deplete as much as MDMA will so if your planning do that, Take the shrooms on the Saturday and then the MDMA the following, as you will still feel the effect more than you would the shrooms, Both will be weaker if taken on consecutive days. This all also depends on your dosage of each.

Yeah I would agree with LSD. You can do volume metric dosing, and have a "dropper vial' and you can make at least 10 doses at a time. It will increase your creative thinking noticeably. It also can increase your alertness.

@Leo Gura Wow man, that does sound very trippy? Do you attribute that to any specific psychedelic? Like i can see 5Me0 causing that. That sounds quite amazing your mind is able to enter these new states at such a degree and have your sober life flooded with insight after insight. Does it become overwhelming often? Yeah i can see that being the case for sure, the neuroplasticity aspect with psychedelic conditioning should definitely rewire your shit. So im guessing integrating is mainly a waiting game then you observe for the insights that spontaneously arise during that time. Its a good thing your so grounded being most people would not be able to handle all that. Thank you for sharing.
