Oh really? And how do you know that? How are you so sure about this? Most people when taking psychedelic report that what they experienced felt more true than this reality (including me). Of course you can say that it's a common delusion the chemicals produce. Ok. If you are so sure, do it some times and then come and tell us that everybody is wrong. About what is Truth or not, the eastern tradition talks about Maya. Also Plato pointed this out brilliantly with the allegory of the cave. Things may be very different that you imagine. That is why you are in here, and is saw you wrote that you want to experience psychedlics. Good. Till then, it would be beneficial for you if you were less assertive in your logical explanations and your reasoning about things you are ignorant about.

It was an attempt on making you look inside for once, instead of projecting your... skepticism to every opposing point of view. Didn't work...

This man is a guru and has tried psychedelics. Listen to his words as another perspective: for the lazies... 11:22

The most "annoying" people on this forum are those who don't justify their criticism. They only judge someone else's opinion without saying what would be the issue if the opposing was true. They don't promote anything while losing the opportunity to have a deeper awareness of their criticism that could reveal them their hidden shadows. Second most annoying, the ones who think they can have a legitimate opinion on, or against psychedelics without having some breakthrough experiences on them first. But I 'm not annoyed by them. I learn from them.

The things that happen are the cause of the things that happen

That's true but It's an experience that can be lived as a human being and with a certain kind of consciousness, maybe the ultimate experience. He didn't lived through it as Alan Watts.

When I read that Alan Watts died in his sleep, I thought that that was the biggest possible bummer for him. From his speeches one realizes that he had a very deep understanding of life, the ego, spirituality, God etc. He lost the chance to experience death coming, not painfully, let's say from natural causes in old age, lying on his bed. He didn't have the chance to stand there and respond, not react, and go through the whole process, like Socrates did.

The noble way to voluntarilly "die" is mahasamadhi, everything else is just the ego acting 'smart' (... or stupid).

It's funny that he says that he doesn't want to try psychedelics but he is thiking of maybe take them on his deathbed. Imagine if he did that and had a mystical experience. He would scream inside: "NOOOOOO!!!!!"

5-MeO-DMT is not advised for beginners. You could start with something like magic mushrooms in low doses following (at least) all the instructions and precautions Leo is giving in his video. IMO, 5-Meo-DMT readiness is not about having a lot of experiences with psychedelics. When you are about to climb to that top, you have to have a certain level consciousness, with adequate theoretical knowledge about the ego, oneness, non duality etc. 5-MeO-DMT is not to play with.

'Complete beginner' you mean you never had a psychedelic before?

What difference would it make to you if Leo told you that they are real? There are countless descriptions out there. The thing is to directly experience them yourself

I 've brewed it once myself mixing Banisteriopsis Caapi and Psychotria Viridis. The result was very good and I had a wonderful experience at home, with an experienced sitter. Ceremonies have a different feeling though. Try both.

So, in your opinion, is there 'healthy' and true channeling ? Do you have any examples that you consider legit channeling?

Sorry, a typo, I meant to write "don't take IT (the rapé) in less than 90 minutes", The rapé is to be taken before drinking or during the process. About the dose, the people who give the ayahuasca know when more is to be given. The booster is usually half of the initial dose and to first-timers they give half dose anyway. Second night will be deeper for you. As for the trip going dark, it doesn't depend on the dose.

If they offer rapé snuff before drinking, it is recommended as it has a grounding effect and calms the mind while awaiting for the ayahuasca to kick-in and leads you gradually into the process. Rapé is also great during the ceremony because sometimes the thoughts get all around on non substantial things. Rapé grounds you and gets you back to the...main road. Don't take in less than 90 minutes after you drink. Wear comfortable clothes. If the music inspires you, get up and dance. Earplugs and an eye-mask are recommended, and a bottle of water. Finally, surrender to the process and when the shaman offers a "booster" dose, take it. Have a wonderful experience!

Great addition. Thank you

It's like the reaction of color-blind people wearing the Enchroma glasses and seeing color for the first time (check youtube)

What? It has been thoroughly analyzed in here, Leo has numerous videos on this matter.
