The Blind Sage

@universe That's some solid advice. Cheers mate

@Serotoninluv I'd love to experiment with mushrooms especially, but no dealers offer it in Sydney . The deep web's an option but I'm wary of getting caught I've been looking for a shrooms supplier for 8 months with no luck now. If only mankind weren't so fucking stupid to criminalise something that could be our saviour....fuuuuuu

The first time I took a single tab of what was supposed to be 160 ug The second time I took 2 tabs of what was supposed to be 105 ug each. A friend I took it with has been taking psychedelics for some number of years now. He says the experience it produced was not unexpected of the dose (for his trip). Also, I trust the dealer. I'm not sure how acid is produced so it's possible that I had a batch that wasn't spread evenly across all tabs? I apologise for not painting a clear picture, the acid was astronomically powerful but more in a sensory phenomenal aspect-to the point where I was drained by the end of the trip. But there was nothing 'spiritual'/metaphysical' about it at the same time. The most profound it got was a mental state where concepts lose their self-evidence for a little while. Not that that's something that isn't profound, but I was expecting to just be handed an insight just because I took a drug. After reading what people have said-I think I just need to be patient with the acid. I haven't done close to 1% of the spiritual work to begin to feel frustrated yet. I still have a lot to learn and the acid is probably just reflecting my crude level of spiritual development. I need to cultivate a practice of self inquiry.

@WorknMan The batch tested positive for an indole. Also, a friend who's experienced with psychedelics took a tab and claims it was good acid. Yep, pretty sure.

@Serotoninluv First Trip: 160 ug. I woke up before the sunrise and spent the trip at a park. I spent it with 2 friends. Most of it was spent observing my friend who was having a paradigm shattering insight (breaking his stage orange models). Second: 210 ug. I spent it near the coast with 1 friend. Most of the trip was spent sitting quietly observing the nature around us. Although I knew it would have been better to do it alone, I wasn't comfortable as it was the first time I had ever dealt with a powerful psychedelic before. Since then, I've watched Leos video on how to use psychedelics, and have also read 3 books from Martin Ball including 'being human'. I'll be tripping alone next month and this time I understand what set and setting is ideal.

Cheers guys

This post is not about where to source psychedelics. I'm currently in an Australia in university in Sydney and was thinking about ordering psychedelics to my accommodation through the deep web. The issue is that I live on campus in a university run accommodation. I'm an international student so there is no other option for place of delivery. How likely is it that I will get into legal trouble? Any advice on the precautions to take? Thanks

Cheers guys

In spite of Reiki's immense ability for emotional healing, the Reiki masters I've come in contact with are always seem very hippie like and are not serious about pursuing consciousness. It seems as if they are on the orange-green stage in spiral dynamics. I've been warned by various Reiki Masters that psychedelics 'mess with your aura', 'blocks your third eye' or 'invites entities into you'. The analogy given is that you are charging 20,000 volts into a 500 volt light bulb when you take psychedelics, 'your system just isn't ready for it'. I was wondering if anyone has met any Reiki Masters experienced with psychedelics/have a different view on them?

@Misagh That makes a lot of sense. I guess its a matter of 'recognising yourself in the mirror' as Martin Ball eloquently described seeing entities and whatnot.

@Leo Gura Agreed.

@Recursoinominado I see. Psychedelics are too powerful a tool to disregard though, I guess we just have to make sure we're in the best set & setting possible.

Martin Balls 'Being Human' (on Leo's book list) is a fantastic read-cuts straight to the point about how psychedelics should be used in a no bullshit manner. However, I have a few concerns over what he mentions. Subtle energies (Chakras) Do not exist are bullshit 1. On one of Leo's blog posts, he mentions that he was wrong about chakras and they do exist 2. Leo mentioned he was going to work on a video on chakras in his 'going Bhudda episode' 3. I have had an experience of my 'third eye' opening. After a meditation session, I sat down without a single thought in my mind, simply observing, utterly present. Suddenly, the centre of my forehead (where people say the third eye is located) starts to pulsate like a flashlight turning on and off on nearly empty batteries. Things start to become wavy, like I'm tripping on some psychedelic, then my vision abruptly goes dark. I could still feel my body but I could not see it. I felt as if there was something beyond this darkness, almost as if it were a veil, but every time I felt I got close to something my heart would beat and fear would take over-I dont even know what I feared! I wasn't scared of anything in particular, it was almost like a preset response... I shifted between this wavy vision and darkness for about 30 seconds until the experience just faded. Anyways, I'm not claiming I know chakras exist as I don't quite understand what I've experienced, but chakras do seem like the most likely explanation. Reading the book left me extremely confused to say the least. Also, as a side-note: martin mentions the notion of nothingness being the ultimate reality is false Could anyone explain what it could be if not nothingness? I'm 20 years old and have only begun my personal development journey for the last 2 years, only 1 of which have I known about non-duality. I have read 0 books on enlightenment/consciousness/nonduality (that will change to hundreds over the years) and mostly base my knowledge from Leos videos, so I apologise if this is a bit of shit question, its quite confusing to see read book titles such as 'god is nothingness' and hear contradictory things from someone like Martin Ball, both of which whom seem like trust able sources. Any clarification would be much appreciated.

Fascinating... That's deeply profound, thank you my brother.

This question is also directed to anyone who has met any psychcics or anything similar. Do they also say similar things about negative effects of psychedelics?

I see...This is warping my mind in the strange-loopiest way lol. Thanks for everything Leo.
