Just tell her: console.log("Hello Girl!") Now seriously, people probably will tell you "just tell them whatever nonsense" and they are right, but you won´t because usually people need confidence that has to be "trained" to approach just purely a in cold style like that. I suggest you that try to observe her in a non sexual way and try to find interesting things about her style/attitude. Then if you have found any, tell her: -"Hey, I just observed you one day and {insert here interesting thing you observed about her} and that picked up my curiosity, {insert here question about the thing you are interested}? -Wait for his answer. Continue conversation.

Of course, but I would be more concerned about why are you not sleeping in 48 hours. If you keep extending the time, shadow people will come to visit to you...

I have found that due to my schedule my best time, by far, to do Yoga-consciouss breathing and meditation, it´s in the morning just before putting myself to do anything else. (of course I wait some time to "warm up" the body, or I shower etc) The problem is, I don´t what is the reason but a lot of mornings I get terrible fatigue that makes me so difficult putmyself to do breathing exercises or yoga exercises that might be energy demanding and which I love because I´m having such progress thanks to them. This fatigue usually fades once I pass around 11am, and the rest of the day I just feel pretty nice. I´ve tried: - Quitting coffee (this has been an improvement, since when I used to drink daily, my body absolutely would wake up dead until I drink coffee) - I do exercise 1 hour a day, but sometimes I skip it if feel I am pushing it too much (anyway the fatigue has been there before I started to exercise daily) - I improved a lot my DIET. I´m having lots of vegetables, better sources of meat and fish, and cutting back carbs although now because I am running 1 hour daily I had to up the carbs a little bit but still. - And of course, I sleep more than enough. (sometimes I just wake up earlier than the alarm clock with no wanting to sleep more whatsover) I really don´t know why the fuck is wrong with my body that from 8-am to 11-am is so fatigued, I have been feeling this all my life but until now I didn´t care because I hadn´t to do anything concentration-energy demanding in those hours but now that I am progressing a lot in yoga and consciousness I really could use an aid here.

The thing is that today something happened. It was just 10 seconds, but I think it was intense enough to take it into consideration, (more even if I imagine it will happen again if I continue to do such practices as Yoga or consciouss breathing from now on at the intensity I´m doing them, since i quit coffee and working on my addiction and taking my manias, phobias, identity serious since im discovering im the one who is creating all this problems I have in my life) THE EXPERIENCE: Anyway, today I went out running, then at the 30minute mark I started thinking about how a run can make you feel good and "be more consciouss about things". Then I thought , well ego is never consciouss so what I am even saying. This "spirtual debate" went on a few minutes, adn then, I just stopped running and I felt a crazy dissasociationg and I felt that I couldn´t associate myself with anything. Including..."Me". Well this looks too much to happen in 10 seconds right but I am just trying to explain what it felt a dissociated state, (or whatever you can call it). I felt panic of losing control, very real. It felt like a drug induced state for a moment. I tried to move, a punch lightly in my chest to swtch "the headspace" started running and then the sensation dissapeared and it was just me. But it really FELT like my consciousness HAD the moment to see that it was not me, but got scared and fast (in about 10 seconds after i did the chest thing) went back to identifing with my self. OR it could have been just the mix of exercising + placebo effect of being meditating so much lately? (since i was pretty tired, maybe I had low blood sugar because I do a low-carb diet) Can sober spiritual experience happen like this? (like 10 seconds, and its gone lol) Or is more like, "if you really had a spiritual thing, you would know it, you wouldn´t be asking"

110ug is completely fine if you have any past drug experience, if you have done mushrooms 3 times before is fine. Even more, I would say taking less sometimes can make a trip that would be just fine, a little messy, since you are not truly high and you are partially sober, so you are in a somewhat state of confusion. Regarding anxiety I would say Lsd is pretty more edged pushy stimulation, in comparison to shrooms that are more relaxing, but this doens´t mean Lsd is going to give you anxiety, you will feel energised but you shouldn´t feel anxiety once you are fully tripping regardless of you having anxiety on your life or not. (I have moderate anxiety in my life and Lsd has never given me anxiety, except when I have done the stupid thing of eating before tripping) Make sure you dose in a total empty stomach, this will make the come-up a lot more easier, and less anxious. Also try drinking some Ginger Tea in the come-up, the time I did shooms I drank it and i had almost none nausea.

For things like this I aprecciate this forum!

How are you sleeping? Force yourself in this days to socialize or o sport, it automatically make your mind less maniatic and maybe will get something positive out of it.

What a title, for a moment I thought J.Peterson was an enthusiast of Jerry Lorenzo´s Fear of God slim denim jeans

If you have a 8 hour job that demands a lot of thought/monkey mind active? Until recently I was used to have a very calm-boring day to day job, so I could be almost for the whole day totally aware, wheter i was working or not. But now , I have another job which, even if I like, i can see how its impossible for me to remain aware while I work, because I have to get lost into monkey mind in order to comeup with solutions or achieve other things...etc. Now, i am not saying that if you are very experienced, you still can remain aware even if you have to think a lot, (particularly because guess what, you are not your thoughts, you dont need to be identified with them to get your mind to work, it can work by itself!) but, at the level of consciousness/practice I have, when mental activity gets intense, I get lost and become my mind again... If you sleep 8 hours, and you work another 8, you only have left 8 hours to practice awareness, which it seems not enough since 2/3 of the day you are being unconsciouss. You can always take retreats, but in my experience I can only reach high levels of awareness with constant absolute focus, if get back to monkey mind I just loose it again.

I don´t think drug interaction might be a problem, but be sure to have a trip sitter if its the first time you are doing 5-Meo

Just a note regarding Hatha Yoga, just because it´s usually the most common teaching choosed by Western yoga culture, doesn´t mean there is not going to be non-dual people who its primary Yoga of choose is Hatha. (I say this because people in the forum might get the wrong idea and think that doing Hatha will only deliver them physical benefits and they must practice other type of yoga if their primary objetive its consciousness) since I´ve noticed quite a few times that you tend to generalize Hatha Yoga into just being Gimnastics. This is simply not true. I´ve tried Kriya, Kundalini, and Hatha Yoga, and the latter is the one who has given me until now more results in terms of increased awareness, whereas Kundalini or Kriya was really frustrating and I found myself getting in lost in monkey mind or getting distracted by so many concepts and instructions. Of course, this doesn´t mean that part of its complication its justified, but that the simplicity and apparent not so mystic character of Hatha Yoga, can also deliver powerful experiences as the most simple meditation technique can deliver vs a complicated one can.

Pychedelics can be used to avoid "reality" too but trust me that the one responsible who avoids most of reality is your ego and your mental patterns, precisely psychedelics can erase for some hours this patterns, that´s why they can help. Although of course in the process of this, one can misuse psychedelics too and dont achieve nothing from them, but in general, they are far from being a common substance of abuse.

Any of the 15-40$ miligram scales are more or less the same. I have had the gemini20 which is the most common one in the "research" scene and right now I use the cheapest one I´ve found (15$) and I found it is the same accurate as the other ones. (All are made in Shenzen lol) The most important thing you have to do is make sure you calibrate it well, and each time you are going to research substances, calibrate it again just in case. If you want total accuracy in miligram scales you would need to go into the laboratoy/proffesional stuff and those ones are ridiculously expensive. You´ll be allright with a cheap one if you remember about calibrating it, and of course do several allergy tests beforehand (doesn´t matter even if you have researched the substance beforehand, if its a new batch, always do allergy test)

I was wondering if anybody has experience doing meditation retreats of several days while fasting. This summer I experienced with intermitent fasting up to 20-22 hours several weeks, and I found that starting from the 16-18 hour mark focus and concentration was really improved, so I was wondering if this could be used also for skyrocketing meditation retreats and sessions. Since I haven´t gone more than 22 hours withouth eating, I don´t know if maybe fasting more than 24 hours would make hunger or stress hormones related with hunger maybe counterproductive in meditation and it just a bad idea though

From my experience of my most precious meditation sessions, one there is a mind, and second there is an sense of identity (ego) which is created in the mind. There have been times where I have been consciouss enough that I watch thoughts and sensations, but I can´t find an identity who is feeling this thoughts. That´s when I have realized, based on this experiences, that having thoughts and in general, a functional mind, its no excuse to have an ego formed out of those thoughts and sensations. Thats basically why enlightened people still has a mind who thinks and a body who speaks, because the mind is totally independent from ego, although the mind is the one responsible for creating it. (i think, im not sure about this last statement)

Yes, but that happens to 100% of people at the beggining. Is not a mistake, since the point of the whole technique is raising your consciouness so once you are more aware, the illusion of control of the breath dissapears. This will be how you measure if you have done any progress or not.

Yesterday I realized there is nothing wrong with the Ego. A lot of people who start the path of being more and more aware, tend to hate on the ego for its setbacks, and usually the negative stuff that happens in their life. I also used to have this view, but It never make 100% sense so I always was suspicious about hating always on the ego. Now what happen yesterday, is that I become so dettached with my thoughts, that I realised that there is nothing wrong with ego, with your personality. Since it is a machine, its designed to do what it does best, so basically getting angry with your ego would be like getting angry with a computer. The biggest instant insight afterwards was that I shouldn´t be so obssesive with controlling, hating, or critizising my ego, but that I should be aware of the true self, the one who is being aware of the perception of the ego itself. That´s the one that should be attention towards it, since it is the "one" who is attaching to the ego and therefore suffering its "bugs" and errors". I still don´t know how, detacching from your ego, makes the ego itself repair itself, since the ego can´t be consciouss but only consciousness can. But I guess time and a lot of work will resolve that mistery too.

I tried in the past Kundalini and Kriya, but their practices are way too advanced to a newbie. Now I am doing Hatha Yoga from a month ago and I´m seeing much more results than in the past several months with Kundalini.

I know bro, but it is so difficult.

Maybe you can grasp it better like this: Imagine that you are dreaming. This dreams starts as you driving a car. But you don´t see yourself, you just see the car, and it moves. It doesn´t take long in that drea for you to create an hallucination that you ARE the car. The same happens to the voice in your head. People call it an illusion, the fact of being identified or feeling being that voice in your head, but I call it more an hallucination, you CAN perceive the voice, but still have the feeling that you are that voice. That is because although rationally, you understand that you can´t be something you perceive, the hallucination is way too consistent and strong. That´s why consciousness practices exist.

You are too lost in the mind. Meaning is only meaninful inside the mind. Maybe try some meditation practice and get out of the monkey-mind loop? It won´t get you anywhere, friend.

The mind is really a strange place. In my experience, I would advise you that you give less importance to all that, I´ll you why, I usually experience those kind of irrational fears, even thought I have never had a traumatic spriitual experience on psychedelics, I get that kind of fear you get when I used to microdose in the past. I even have little paranoias at night sometimes like closing all windows etc that sometimes I think...am I little too crazy or am I just fucked up? Then I take a psychedelic and all this obssesive thoughts dissapear, I see them from another perspective and it turns out it wasn´t anything too fear. Sometimes I get very surprised that, in certain aspects of my life, I see problems or issues far more sober on acid, than on sobriety life. But even like that sometimes I want to have an spiritual experience but I get fear from my ego, and it stop me. Well you can´t really force anything. Right now, If you want to have a full psychedelic trip I would advise you to take a relaxing substance to ease yourself into the trip. Nothing too strong that will dull it, but at least you´ll get to try it and your ego will see that there is really nothing to fear.

About 2,3 years ago I discovered psychedelics and they radically changed my negative patterns of thinking and living that I was having for a LOONG time, they were a true miracle to me. Even more, I use them quite a few times and all experiences, apart from being very self-analitical effective to treat my mental negative patterns, all were amazing and comfortable, nothing like all the information that goes on in culture and in media about going insane, and feeling scared etc. The previous 3,4 years I was living a nightmare of life I had such an ego, obsessive personality that I don´t know if any other thing could have made me accept other ways of thinking and seeing reality than just a drug that forces you to lol. For that time I knew nothing about meditation, consciousness, self-honesty etc, of course, after that I started being interested in this kind of stuff (and later on also discovered actualized.org) However, about 1 year and some months ago, I had a little disturbing trip (100% because of an inmature set and setting) definetely nothing too bad. However, I think it was the reason to stay away from psychs from a while. I thought, next time, I will prepare everything better and I will trip more occasionally. But since that time I hadn´t touch them again. When I think about planning a trip, I start to have irrational fears that make me to cancel it, this makes me so sad, particularly because I have been working in quitting an addiction for more than two years now, and I see no progress AT ALL. I feel tripping could really help with this addiction too. BUT JUST comes the day of tripping that I planned and I just find myself having fearful thoughts about all kind of irrational fears such as: what happens if i loose so much touch with reality that i will jump out of a window (not very original huh) etc. Constant obssesive thoughts, that rule my life and prevent me from develop myself, (I also work on meditation and yoga habit daily, but still, I feel the leverage that a trip could provide could really help me). I HAVE NEVER felt SO stuck by my own ego. The good news if for once in my life I can see cristal clear that the source ofthe problems and pain in my life, its me, and only me. So in a sense, there´s some peace there.

The same more or less happens to me. I discovered psychedelics a couple of years ago and it totally changed my life for the better, gave me new perspective to move on and it was a true miracle etc But then the last trip, about 1 year and a half ago was a little bad (but nothing too traumatic definetely, I dont remember like a bad experience per se) However, since then I want to take psychedelics again for personal development and spirituality purposes but I always end cancelling the trips, I get very anxious and fearful that something fucked up might happen. You can´t force your ego to surrender, so just be patient and aware, you´ll trip when you are 100% prepared to trip, meanwhile, practice other forms of spirituality
