@Optimized Life The key is to find 1 or 2 good wings. That is possible through some of these chats. You gotta sift through the bullshit and find the serious guys. They do exist on there. Of course it varies a lot city by city. Contact guys one-on-one, do not post in the general chat areas.
Try looking for local forums.
The RSDNation forum used to be the best resource for this. They had a sub-forum for literally every major city in the world and it was easy to find wings. Nowadays things are harder. That kind of community no longer exists. But you can do some deep googling and find scattered stuff. It will really depend on your city.

Yeah, it sucks!
I really hate chores because they are totally meaningless and shallow and distract me from metaphysical work.
It's hard to say. It basically makes me not care about anything in this material world. It's hard to motivate myself to make money or even brush my teeth sometimes because it's all just bullshit.
Some days it's just the grind of daily life and nothing spiritual is afoot.
Other days I am racking my mind about how to raise my consciousness, how to embody this stuff, etc. Honestly it creates a lot of additional suffering. Life is much easier when you are not thinking so deep and just being a monkey.
But there are also moments of transcendent beauty and appreciation for consciousness/reality because it is so profound.
I'm making it sound kinda bleak but there is nothing better than Awakening. Nothing else in life matters. It's just not easy to integrate or live up to. It is a huge burden to live up to it. All the ego games are painful to observe in oneself. The ego-mind is still at work spinning its bullshit.

That is the mark of a true sage / yogi / philosopher / saint / mystic.
We are a rare breed. But the best breed

My pleasure.
Well, it was a somewhat gradual process, not just a single event. It was an accumlation of breakthroughs.
One was my first awakening ever at a meditation retreat which was sober. That made me realize the Divine. It was so short. But it was awesome.
Another was my first mushroom trip.
Another was my first huge 5-MeO breakthrough where I realized reality is Absolute Infinity.
Another was my first LSD trip where I first realized I'm God.
It's hard to even pinpoint where I began a proper spiritual path.
The first time I read about enlightenment in a book, about 11 years ago, I immediately knew it was the most important thing in the world. But I didn't act on it until years later because I was busy with building a business and learn pickup. And I had no idea it meant I was God. If I understood that back then I would have begun immediately.

That's like the early stages. It's good, don't get me wrong. Very good. Yes, you are the whole visual field. You are a bubble of consciousness.
But there's much deeper stuff to awaken to. The nature of the bubble must be grasped in ever deeper ways.

So, further Awakenings will take you to realizations such as:
You realize what the bubble of consciousness is, which is God You realize deeper what God is You realize what Absolute Truth is Your realize that the bubble is Nothing You realize Infinity You realize LOVE You realize Eternity You realize Intelligence You realize Perfection You realize how you are imagining everything around you, past and future You realize that you can flip through an infinite number of finite selves You realize that all others are you You realize what alien consciousness is You realize what insanity is You reach even deeper levels of no-self than you thought possible before You realize that there is an infinite different kinds of infinite love And more wacky shit beyond that These can come in any order, it is not a linear sequence.

That would require years of training your focus.
Serious Awakening is so radical that even after you experience it, you will not have any ability to reach that place through conscious effort. It's like aliens teleported you to their home planet and then dropped you off back home. You have no idea how to get back there.
There's many degrees of depth to this, so the question is what depth are you talking about?. Mild stuff you can do through retreats and strong concentration. But not the really deep stuff.

That's brutally hard.

Sit for 100hrs straight and focus on your field of consciousness until it breaks you.

The answer is, you have never aged.
You're not appreciating how radical Awakening is. Only NOW, no past, no future. You litterally can't die if you no longer imagine a tomorrow. But as soon as you think of tomorrow, death appears.

1/2 a gram of shrooms is not a lot. You would mostly feel the LSD.
2g of shrooms + 125ug of LSD would be a serious 50/50 mix. That should be a mindfuck.

Incels are not incels because they don't value women or treat women well. They are Incels because they don't ever meet any women.
Guys who get laid a lot do not value women. The more a guy gets laid the less he values women. But these guys socialize a lot, and Incels don't.
The idea that valuing women gets you laid is laughable and only something a woman could believe.

1) Because you were social
2) Because you had good looks
3) Your definition of "a lot" is probably not my definition of a lot. And beyond quantity there is quality. Most guys have very low standards for who they will sleep with, which makes "a lot" a rather meaningless notion.
4) Some guys are naturals. This makes things way easier.

Dude, every guy I know who gets laid the most is a scumbag. And the higher his lay count the more of a scumbag he is, and the highest lay count are straight up rapists and sociopaths.
The two most effective ways to get laid are: celebrity and sociopathy, in that order. There's your Red Pill.

@Inliytened1 Bullet to your head is also imaginary.
You dangerously confuse relative with absolute domains.
If you are stupid enough to believe that heavy metals are "imaginary", go ahead and drink a glass of mercury. Let's see how you feel.

Heavy weightlifting can help with that. Squats.
Although this idea that you need to be all horned up to be masculine is silly.
I literally don't need to do anything to be masculine these days. I can sit on the couch for a month and eat ice cream and watch gay porn and my masculinity will not be diminished at all.
You guys are undermining your own selves with all these rules, practices, and fake ways of being macho. It's literally just an inner game thing. When you know who you are you don't any techniques or posturing. You just be you and girls will like it. You literally don't need to do anything to impress or attract a girl. Just approach and hit on her and never again think about your looks, your dress, your manhood, your muscles, your dick, etc. Never think about it again. It's so easy. You just stop caring and be yourself.
Bottom line this: If you're trying to be more macho, you're stupid. Learn to love yourself exactly as you are. Drop all the games and fantasies.
I don't even identify as a human anymore, nevermind a man.
Your idea of being a man is pure fantasy.
If you wanna be a real man, cut the shit and realize you are God.

It's the low IQ people raising a stink about it. Most people who took the vaccine just quietly went on with their lives. The low IQ people started a whole brainwashing campaign to convince themselves that their foolishness has merit.
It's like RounderEarthers, you don't see them crusading around. Truth tends to be quiet and low-key, ignorance is loud and boisterous.

Pretty sure humans have been surviving off roots since day 1.

Insight is infinite, so you will never be able to catch them all.
As great as insights are, be careful not to fall into the trap of hoarding insights like gold, otherwise it becomes just another kind of materialism.
Don't try to cling to insights. Let them come, appreciate them, write down the best ones, and then let it go.
Having insight is like tasting a candy. It only lasts a few minutes and then it's gone. But you can still appreciate that candy for those few minutes. But learn to let it go. It's not supposed to be a permanent high.
This is a lesson in impermanence.

Weed comes in THC tincture. There is no need to smoke anything.
Mushrooms come in pure synthetic forms like 4-AcO-DMT. No need to consume any mushroom toxins.
DMT shows neurogenerative properties.

The most amazing thing about solipsism is how immediately it is rejected by virtually everyone, including every intellectual. And yet, obviously it is not rejected on any evidence-based grounds. It's rejected purely out of repugnance.
This fact alone should make you extremely curious. Why is everyone in the world rejecting a worldview so cockily, entirely without evidence? Only an ego would behave that way. What is the ego hiding?
Science has not 1 piece of evidence against solipsism. Think about that. That alone is an awesome fact. How can a worldview not have a single contradiction or piece of counter-evidence after 5000 years? That would have to be the most amazingly crafted worldview of all time, to withstand such an onslaught of scientific discovery. And yet, no one takes this worldview seriously. How is that possible?

The only critique of me that's gonna have any teeth is that I don't embody my own work enough. And of course that's true. If I embodied everything I said I would be walking on water.
You are always gonna fall short of embodying God.

I sorta stole it from the Buddhists.
One thing I will credit the Buddhists with is having some great meditation techniques, although none of them are God-Realized.

@Mips Dude, 1g of mushrooms is not gonna kill ya.
If you are so skitish, psychedelics are not for you. They will skullfuck you a hundred different ways and you gotta be willing to take it like a man. In the end it only lasts a few hours. You are not as fragile as you think.
