You could also take the approach of the damage that your hatred is doing to yourself...your character. Letting go of selfishness can actually be very self serving...because selfishness and anger affects your own personality and character...possibly imagine how the child version of yourself would react seeing who he may become

Not good mate, not good. It's an extremely addictive drug. Your trying to use it to raise your baseline level of dopamine but when you inject a load of dopamine into your brain, you brain recognises that it has enough dopamine then it stops producing it on its own (because it has enough). Then when the ket wears off your brain is still not producing it as much, which means you experience a lesser level of dopamine (happiness, self esteem and peace) in normal life. The ketamine sets a new baseline level of dopamine then your brain says "hmm, we are used to this amazing spike of dopamine...everything else in comparison to it now feels inadequate." Observe this chart: These bars represent your dopamine levels. Green is high orange/reddy is lower. Taking an addictive drug on a reoccurring basis creates a new baseline of dopine level. Your brain gets used to the high and then it doesent feel like getting high any more it feels like getting normal, and every day life just feels worse. Not a good approach my friend ..also if you've been trying that approach for 2 years and you've still got the anger then it's clearly not working (I'd say making it worse likely). This is why Buddhists and people who reject pleasure experience the most pleasure...something only exists as contrasted against something else. You take a rich man and put him into a standard house he'll be depressed, you take a homeless man and put him into a regular house he'll be so happy he'll cry. Both are in the same situation but what they are used to is the differing factor. -------------- My advice to you would be don't take ketamine at all for a long time. And be aware of the difference between serious spiritual and self improvement uses of chemicals and unhealthy crutches and drug usage that may or may not turn into a dependancy. With addictive drugs like ket you only use it one off every now and again but don't go near it if you like it too much

Lol you guys are wrong, only the most enlightened badass could rock such a beard. In all seriousness though, you have no idea the depth and accuracy of Leos teachings. It's like fucking... Shockingly accurate. Leo is the real deal. The power, holy shit.

@Gabith ketamine. But only if you feel like your responsible and very in control when it comes to highly addictive substances. Ketamine is immensely powerful for therapy. The argument some have is that it just takes away your suffering for like 20 minutes to an hour (or for however long you redose) then you just come back, feel a little comedown and then boom your back to normal and nothing has changed. However! If you take the carefully weighed dose of ketamine, and do therapeutic work focuses on the things in your life that you believe to be casual to your suffering, i Intuit that it can be very powerful. It's not just about feeling better for an hour...you can go into the ketamine experience, process a lot of your trauma from a highetened level and from a place of great peace and acceptance and create all of those new neurological pathways then when you come back a lot of those pathways will still be there. I plan on doing this in coming months. I have a plan to record myself asking deep questions into the root of some of the areas in my life that cause me suffering (or should I say some of the ways I think about and interpret some of the areas in my life). Answer them and think deeply while in the heightened state and I expect profound results. If anyone has experienced ketamine they'll know that it's a very very profound chemical. But also unfortunately highly addictive so just be careful and be aware of the slippery multiplying effect of the addiction taking hold and the self bullshit where you tell yourself "oh this is for spirituality" when in reality your just wanting to get high. If you can legitimately avoid those traps, try my ketamine method. Record yourself asking some deep questions about the areas in your life that cause suffering and play them back while tripping on ketamine and answer them honestly with a true Investigatory spirit. And the best advice with addictive substances is: don't take it on a reoccurring basis.

So after making some much needed foundational regular self improvement adjustments to my egoic life, im approaching the realm of psychedelics again and i feel much better and much more comfortable with the level of wisdom that I am bringing this time. I feel more mature, more stable, better. I understand why im taking the compounds (at least to a degree, but am still learning more comprehensively), i understand the safety components and certain other peripheral things to take care in when using psychedelics... Soon i'll be doing MDMA+DMT likely in one session and do 3 or 4 trips of DMT while on MDMA. Ive researched that its safe and also have previous experience doing this method...the MDMA really helps with casual DMT terror. Im also approaching it much more softly in that, if i dont feel that my energy is aligned before i hit the DMT pipe, i will relax and just do some MDMA therapeutic mindfulness practises...(however i know how effective molly is at making you ready so i have faith). Ultimately I am scared shitless of psychedelics because of how stupid my approach was in the past (bad pain, not good...growing pains), i want to allow some kind, gentle experience to reorient my reflexes against psychedelics and to allow myself to re-recognise their beautiful nature. In my pursuit of this more philosophical return to psychedelics, my attention has drifted to drugs of the 5-MeO class but that have reputations of being softer, gentler, and more feminine...MALT and MiPT. I have a question for people with experience with these compounds as well as regular 5meo...id love to hear your experience, and in particular how gentle they are possibly from most gentle to least gentle...seeing as regular 5meo seems to be very very heavy and sledgehammer-like. Ive also heard rumor's that MiPT has effects that closely resemble those of MDMA? This is of particular interest to me if this is the case... so could people maybe share their wisdom regarding the effects of these analogues and how gentle each of them are in comparison to 5-MeO-DMT? Peace and love <3 @Leo Gura

@BipolarGrowth yeah man, and thanks

theres also this paradox between complexity and simplicity being deeply interwoven together. submitting to the realisation that everything is very complex, strangely makes everything start to seem a lot more simple. "everything is complex" is a very simple insight...and the insight "everything is simple" can have some deeply complex dynamics within it. ultimately, everything is simply complex

@tessus sure. Improving the knowledge that runs through your mind=good Becoming conscious of the actual structure of the mind [through which all knowledge flows] = better Because: knowledge only maketh proud, while love (consciousness of the reality of the structure of the mind itself) edifies/strengthens/fulfills. 1 Corinthians 8:1 It's a matter of reality... Looking at and changing the structure of the mind itself, rather than just changing the knowledge that flows through the mind. Also, complex truths sometimes require complex analogies

@ShardMare the old knowledge Vs consciousness topic of contemplation. At the absolute level knowledge and consciousness are the same thing because everything is consciousness from direct experience. Everything is just experience and experience is just undefined, non-physical, magic (consciousness) But at the regular human level differentiating knowledge and consciousness is a step that needs to be investigated and [I feel] is best articulated in a thought picture. Imagine an underground pipe system with water flowing through the pipes. The pipes represent the mind, the water represents knowledge. Some people devote themselves to developing the quality of the water that flows through their pipes...some are less delusional that others (becoming an expert in accurately and articulately recalling every word of the Bible is very professional, but it's very professional in recalling something that turns out to be [in reality] very incorrect...an example of delusional water purification). But instead of becoming someone who is informed, some people recognise the better choice of becoming transformed. While purifying the water of knowledge is necessarily and highly advantageous, there is tremendous advantages with turning your attention to the structure and layout of the pipes themselves...how they connect to eachother. Someone who focuses on rearranging the structure of the pipe work itself is [in this metaphor] equivalent to someone who focuses on rearranging the structure of their mind (focusing on what they are as opposed to what they know). Being self aware, or "conscious" as opposed to informed with information (which is still very necessary in the plane of human growth, fulfilment and success). But becoming self aware, and aware of how your mind actually systematically works allows for streamlined flow of water. You can augment the structure of your self and mind in creative ways to give yourself big advantages. Conscious and wisdom are closely connected (both relating to direct experience) therefore it could be said that this topic could be called "knowledge Vs wisdom" and since philosophy is the love of wisdom...I >think< I'm correct in saying that philosophy is the art of being aware of your self, your mind and the reality of what you are...not just what you know. Some advantages are: - being "overall purpose" oriented. - understanding that doing the right thing is better than doing the thing right. - becoming a transformed individual faster. - transformed>informed - being aware of structural traps and pitfalls of the mind. - dynamic adaptability

I heard a cool quote one time can't remember who said it but sounded good. "The waters that the psychotic drowns in are the same waters the mystic swims in."

@amanen lovely, I always throw in the old "super HD, detailed, super high quality, super real" commands

I was kinda impressed with the program especially considering it's fully automated and done in 5 minutes...I had to scale down the quality because it was too high quality to put here...beautiful

@billiesimon ino lol it's beautiful. I've struggled to recreate that kind of beauty from the program again, but I feel like I'm going to buy a months subscription and try to get lots of beautiful images and post them all here...you think I should? @Swarnim yeah homie, pm me your email address and I can send a full HD version.

@Julian gabriel https://discord.gg/midjourney You get a free trial then it's paid. You type /imagine followed by commands of what you want it to combine and visualise with each command word/phrase separated by a comma.

@Danioover9000 Ino haha. I'm actually really impressed with that AI tbh

what would be dumber would be to pretend that your not dumb. At least if you ask a dumb question, you'll get the answer and move towards not being dumb. Lol. It has to happen sometime

@Leo Gura thanks Leo <3

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/integrating-psychedelics-into-american-culture-and-law-a-post-prohibition-tickets-401388713447 check these guys out, they're run by a guy who is fighting hard for them to be legalised. the research ive done on this site is very shallow, it may already be legal for professional settings i dont know...but what i do know is, the head of this organisation has a massive heart for integrating psychedelics into society legally...he also has some large millionaire/billionaire sponsors apparently

@Breakingthewall This is very very interesting indeed...strangely, i can relate to this, gradually approaching what feels like impending hell is really bad haha, but i smoked it once and i know whats on the other side, pure bliss. So it makes it far easier (but it doesent avoid the fear), but im more interested in finding out more about the less harsh compounds like malt and mipt at this point in time. also bro, dont force yourself...i think there are times when a person is more ready than others (but also be aware that the ego would manipulate this advice by always convincing you that your not ready, its like trying to differentiate good pain from bad pain when working out...you dont want to overextend too fast, you want to bend and stretch out gradually.)

this is some Northern Irish gangster rap about the troubles and the conflict between protestants and Catholics

Check this out. This is stage blue Christian chill, gangster rap.

I think this isint talked about at all...where it needs to be talked about the most. This is a massive issue in society and the way certain governments are dealing with it is so fucked up. They aren't anticipating children finding porn (which is pretty common place these days), they aren't explicitly educating them about consent or anything a lot of the time. And the way they deal with persons who breach laws around sex is an absolute joke. I personally find this being talked about extremely refreshing and necessary. People are so emotional and immature about the whole thing. The whole thing is just jacked. But then again I suppose a lot of things the government does are jacked
