@Tim RRRR I included a pic of the definition of solipsism in my reply...also Leo talked about how you need to be able to "face the solipsism" of 5meoMALT in one of his latest videos talking about it. Leo's also talked about how he feels alone sometimes. Know what I mean bro... Admittedly, I've had so much psychiatric baggage that I've been able to intuit that I needed to process the work from 3 years of DMT, mushrooms, LSD, kriya yoga, vipassana and self enquiry before moving towards 5meodmt...I just feel the aloneness of it...I'm Gona try to connect more with people on the form I think. You never feel like this @Tim R ?

Be careful with this fuck sake haha. It really really really fuckin stings haha

I studied under Christian half-mystics for a few years...boy called Andrew wommack. Talks about how to experience the power of God directly and to hear god's voice and follow his will from the source of peace in direct experience. Also focuses on direct revelation and true insight, became not learned. Andrew wommack was good like, still full of delusion tho...as I probably still am right now

@blackchair your family are you bro, theyre immortal to

What if you took the same path of logic as a court would...if 100 people see me interacting with a football, and being skillful with it ...and all 100 people testified of this consistently...would this not be proof that I'm experiencing the football, since I couldn't interact with it consistently nevermind skillfully unless I was experiencing it?

Aren't we basically just attracting what we resonate with. I'm pretty sure if two loose objects are vibrating at the same frequency they literally gravitate towards eachother like gravity. Or like magnetism or something

@blessedlion1993 do; (half dosage of LSD plugged) + (normal dosage of mdma oral). when plugging lsd the trip lasts half as long and is twice as potent. this plus mdma basically guarantees a good trip careful not to take too much of either compound when combining the two as they potentiate each other (but not by a large margin). also...have benzos on standby when trippin on lsd or shrooms, its a trip killer, take it to kill any trip. this allows you to trip on higher dosages with the knowledge that you literally have an off switch, good luck

i suppose it depends on what im refering to as myself, but i certainly feel like im changing. im also aware of the exponentially increasing speed of awakening, so i'll feel most change near the end when my growth starts multiplying rapidly.

Haha nice @ZenSwift

@Terell Kirby then you can take a step further...some people would read my post and then go "oh no, ive been being too perfection oriented! i gotta stop being perfection oriented!" ...a step further would be to recognise that even subjective perfection is also perfect. also within the human realm subjective perfection is very useful and helpful...in terms of pragmatism, you'll need your cars engine to be in perfect working order, that is if you want to make it to work in the morning lol i hope you know your a beautiful person terell <3 perfect person

somehow consciousness (self awareness),as opposed to knowledge, brings about a sense of...knowledge of knowledge. or the experiencing of how knowledge is had in the direct experience. its a bit hard to explain but i was thinking about this recently...consciousness will lead to the understanding of how knowledge operates...for example, consciousness regarding knowledge might clarify for you; - how you most effectively receive knowledge (theoretically or practically) - what knowledge you need and why. - what knowledge itself is, and how to focus on it. - different ways of storing knowledge (treating the memory as a sub-conscious chest of drawers that you can put things in, leave and come back to later on). - understanding how to correctly verify your knowledge (especially when tackling philosophical ideas that arent very mainstream). - the limitations of knowledge (even in simple terms like dating, if your talking like a robot about astrophysics to a girl and simply inserting knowledge into your mind about the girl will be relying on theoretical knowledge too much and you wont establish an emotional connection with the girl). consciousness (self awareness) acts nearly as a direct revelation of how it is that knowledge enters, exists and works inside your mind...and in this regard, consciousness is [imo] one of the best ways to increase intelligence (since intelligence is simply the measurement of knowledge). This is of course assuming your reading books and shit or just listening to leo and taking notes...since leo seems to be a walking encyclopedia of the most pure, refined, compilation of the best books lol.

defo can relate...a key insight for myself in this domain is that even imperfection is perfection. its like when your gf has an bodily imperfection, but because of love, that imperfection literally makes her have her beauty because its character on her appearance...her imperfection, is perfect. in the same way, i keep my room as clean as i can, but i know that if its not perfectly clean, its still perfect...because what is the measuring stick for perfection? perfect in comparison to what? depending on what country your from and what dogma youve had instilled in you as a child, you might see fat girls as perfect physically (as some countries do since being overweight is a sign of richness). nothing *is* perfect

dont go on your phone. i also think i remember someone saying that to pierce through to sleep (as opposed to approaching rest gradually and staying barely conscious) you should lie on a cold floor for 15 or 20 minutes then bouncing into your warm bed and trying to pierce through into sleep. i also heard that imagining things helps with inducing sleep...try imagining an infinite row of sheep jumping over a fence dividing two green pastures lol heres a site i found about military strategies to fall asleep with shooting happening in the background... https://www.healthline.com/health/healthy-sleep/fall-asleep-fast#120-secs-to-sleep

whats interesting is that, when hearing that spirituality is effortless, someone might be tempted to put effort into stopping putting effort into things...and this effort to stop effort is also out of your control, automatic and effortless haah

@Shambhu I've no doubt there is a pile of bullshit within Pentecostalism. Namely the fact that it lined up with the definition of a cult, along with the rest of Christianity and all religions because of the impending doom that lingers above your head in case you leave haha. But it's interesting to see where there are nuggets of ?truth? In Christianity

In Pentecostal circles what's referred to as the "Baptism of the holy ghost" is well stitched into the fabric of their Christian paradigm. It is portrayed as a second, non-symbolic baptism after the the baptism of water which would represent faith and repentance from sin (ego). As Paul transmits a fuller degree of holy spirit into these followers of truth through the laying on of hands they find they gain special abilities, and their tongue starts to move on its on. The book of Acts chapter 19 verses 1 to 6 reads; "...Paul...arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?” “John’s baptism,” they replied. Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied." -------- Here is acts chapter 1 NIV translation. Pay particular attention to the differentiation between the baptism of water and the baptism of the holy ghost*. Two separate occasions...one a symbol, one actual. (Read the red writing)... Verse 8 reads that the filling of the holy ghost in the body that comes *after* faith causes the recipient to receive power and strength. As I was raised Christian it is very very intriguing to me to learn about how faith in God, the baptism of the holy spirit and awakening are all tied together. Martin ball talks about how the tongue and body start to move on their own during powerful entheogenic experiences through 5meoDMT. It's very possible that what [some] Christians refer to as the baptism of the holy ghost, is actually enlightenment (fuller degrees of God received). Boom lol

gods nonbinary lol

its been kind of well documented now that repetitive weed usage fucks up your mind i dont know if this particular study is 100% accurate here ^ but similar things are said quite commonly about marijuana in lots and lots of different studies. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2811144/#:~:text=Several case studies and longitudinal,and mania associated with cannabis.&text=The most prominent symptoms elicited,%2C anxiety%2C grandiosity%2C irritability.

careful tho these are addictive... i also noticed that sometimes people tell themselves that theyre using a certain chemical for self improvement or existential enquiry but really subconsciously they just wanted to get high. weed is addictive and it also causes paranoia and anxiety after a while...had my head wrecked, and all my mates heads wrecked. id just try shrooms or acid, find out which one you prefer, start upping the dose (get trip killers to allow yourself to take braver and larger doses if you can), skip DMT and start plugging gradually increasing amounts of 5meo till breakthrough then have a few awakenings...thats my plan. ive been too shit scared to approach 5meo again just yet lol. gona really push the boat out with acid and keep some trip killers to make me more confident, then return to 5meo do be aware of one of leos mentioned "dangers" of psycs, decreased motivation in the realm of material success.

fuck haha

lol

there are two different kinds of knowledge from what ive been able to tell... Matthew 1:24-25 KJV - The Bible: "...Joseph...knew her (Mary) not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus." This word "know" is referring to intercourse, not information learned. In other words...you both can know god, and also never know god. With the learned information in the brain, taught by humans...you can never know god. But you can know god via intercourse (becoming one with it) or allowing the authentic realisation to unfold in your direct experience that there is no difference between your presence and gods presence. You know God by being God in other words... similar to how you would know a girl more deeply (emotionally and ontologically) by sleeping with her once more than you would know her after 100 days of "information collection" about her...different kinds of knowledge

can i just say...curt seems to be very authentic and he also seems to not be scared to question what leo says (in an attempt to actually understand what hes saying) from his lower state of consciousness [of which he is aware]. This, in my opinion, could be very powerful for more possible future conversations with him as many people from leos community appear to be at the same level of consciousness as curt, or thereabouts (from my observation). I get the feeling that some people dont want to question leos most basic teachings, even if they dont understand it...maybe they think they'll look stupid, i dont know... ...i certainly feel the pressure to act as if i know and understand everything leo speaks about because of my presence in the community. Having someone like curt who is selfless enough to post hour long videos discussing what he authentically does and doesent understand [at a basic level] with still a good level of conscious intellectuality, would appeal to a lot of people or help a lot of people grow out of the trap of just forming beliefs as opposed to developing actual consciousness from authentic questioning. I really admire curts authenticity and his ability to drop his ego and say that he disagrees with leo but that he recognises that leos probably wiser than him and then he gives leo the opportunity to correct him or admit that hes wrong. such a complete lack of ego....really beautiful For example; at 5:23:15 in this video Leo says... "...most of the evil in the world is created by attempts of limited ego-minds to destroy evil have you noticed this?..." To which Curt responds by saying... "...I would say that that's a naive point of view, but im saying that and im not as wise as you so that means that you can correct me. Let me give you my justification..." I'd personally like to see more conversations with curt...operating from this level has gotta be useful to raise people levels of consciousness from a basic setting...it certainly raised mine. Awesome discussion @Leo Gura
