    I get that you're bored, but there's better and more efficient stuff for you right now to focus on. psychedelics will traumatize you even if you choose not to believe me.

    @Viking I am glad you at least understand my perspective. It won't be hard for me to believe that psychedelics will traumatize me. It makes sense. In the end, I am still growing.

    no they won't necessarily, probably a high chance they won't

    @AlwaysBeNice I take my words back. I don't have a clue what is going on right now. Oh what was is with Stage Yellow? Research everything right? I may need to read some books to decide my opinion about this.

    The kid is like 14 and complaining that he doesn't understand the words in self help books because they're 'made for adults'

    5meo will FUCK HIM UP

    its called context bro

    To OP: no drugs for you. stay in school kiddo. find a creative outlet you enjoy. you will get WAY more gains out of making a hobby out of self-development than trying psychedelics right now. You're lucky to be a part of this world of self improvement at your age. Read those books anway, take it slow and look up the words in Google. Take satisfaction in trying to understand things that are initially confusing or frustrating and you'll go far. If you want to enter the world of spirituality, try the book 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle. The audiobook is usually available on YouTube. Even if you don't understand it, listen anyway. If you really start to understand it, it'll mess you up just as much as psychedelics, but in a gentler way ;)

    @Arman First person who got my age right, so I will pretend you weren't harsh on me.
    Thanks for the advice on the audiobook. Of course you may understand ''context'', it is harder for someone who's first language isn't English. Some words I understand after reading 5 times the same sentence, others look just stupid. I still don't understand ''integrity'' for example.

    Want a glimpse of DMT in a more natural way? 

    Haritaki+Melatonin+Breathing Meditation.

    Haritaki boosts 3x the oxygen in the blood, Melatonin coverts to DMT in a high oxygen environment (same as REM sleep and rapid breathing at night). 

    @Hellspeed You mind explaining Haritaki and Melatonin? I am still new to all of this.

    From the way you write it does not sound like you are mature enough to handle it.

    Focus on yoga, meditation, self-inquiry, shamanic breathing, etc. And read a lot about nonduality.

    Psychedelics are no joke. They will rip your reality apart.

    @Leo Gura I don't think I am mature at all. I was just curious people would recommend it. 
    Don't know what shamanic breathing, self-inquiry and non-duality are. I may need to watch your video's for those. Thanks btw, for the content.

    f you are planning to do weed,then try some edibles. They can give you psychedelics like experiences.

    @Good-boy I am not trying to do any drugs. I just want to keep my body healthy and wondered if people would advice things lik 5MEO for kids. No weed for me. A guy in my class smokes and the smell alone makes me wanna puke. No thanks, ''body is priority'' is what Leo said in his body-awareness video... I think.

    and as far as I know there is no study done that says weed causes cancer.

    @VictorB02 Probably true, still won't go for weed. I don't want to end up like the guys who smoke in every break.

    Wait until you are 21 at least and out of puberty, do the non psychedelic practices for now. Then work your way up through psychedelics. I have no experience with 5MEO but thats what I would do.

    @MM1988 Sounds good. Thanks for the advice.

    Actually, it has been proven now for years that weed can help cure certain kinds of cancer and a lot of other illnesses including regular pain. It's not unhealthy at all. Big misconception.

    @Azrael You mind if I pass? As far as I have been told, weed can screw up the teen's brain.

    Do not. You will be traumatized.

    5-MeO-DMT is one of, if not the strongest psychedelic substance in the world. It produces 100% ego death. Which means that it feels like dying.

    Your brain is still growing, and psychedelics can alter its development. Mature first. Get more in touch with the theory of spirituality. Wait until you're in your twenties before trying psychedelics. Start with common ones and only consider 5-MeO-DMT after you're experienced in & comfortable with being in an altered state of consciousness.

    If you rush any of this, it will bitterly regret it.

    Wait till your twenties. Got it.

    No just start with meditation, and if you have some discipline in your life regarding that, you might not desire anything more due to it's results, hopefully.

    And what do you mean 'I know weed is unhealthy', you don't, so this kind of assumptive attitude is the opposite of what is helpful in this field.

    - I tripped too hard when I was a teen, 2nd or 3rd trip or so, I was already not in a great place, but I became dysfunctional and depressed for 1-2 years after. Now I don't look back on it as a negative, it forced me to take spirituality seriously, but I don't recommend it at age at all, there's already so much to discover: finding your place in the world, finding what you like as a job or study, relationships with parents/friends/partner.

    In fact most teens I think are just quite overloaded by that, that again all they need is some meditation.

    - I can highly recommend practicing dream awareness though, these are already quite psychedelic every night (sometimes, deeply psychedelic), yet most people are too unconscious to even have a slight recollection or a vivid awareness of them during.

    They can help with purpose, guidance, healing, contact with deceased and most importantly spiritual awakening. And they are just fucking awesome.

    @AlwaysBeNice Wauw thanks for the advice. 

    Do you mean with dream awareness, things like lucid dreaming? I already have experience with that, just not in a very deep way. I heard there are people who have practiced lucid dreaming so much, that if they want, they can just go with the flow during the day and lucid dream in noon.

    Hello everyone. I will start by saying that I always admired spirituality, just a month ago I started meditating and I wondered: Should I try psychedelics? I am a teen, so I need some insights first of course. All I know is that 5-MeO-DMT is good. I asked the typical drug dealer if he has LSD or paddo's, but negative. There might be some LSD in the business, but paddo's are 100% negative. My friend suggested that I should start smoking weed first if I want to get into heavy drugs, but I don't want cancer so that's a no (I don't know if weed causes cancer but I know that it is unhealthy). Would you guys advice me trying 5-MeO-DMT if I am really interested? And does anyone know other good alternatives, or in general good drugs for spirituality?

    As I said, I am very young. I don't know much about non-duality or things like that. In fact, I still don't understand the definiton of non-duality. Same with enlightenment, spirituality as a whole etc. I know that if I want to go deeper I should read books about it, but right now I am reading the typical basic self-help books for beginners/teens. Books like ''Mastery'' and ''The Six-Pillars of Self-Esteem'' where I don't understand most of the words because they are made for adults.

    Hello there everyone. Lets start off by saying that I am very young. Just got out of stage Blue I think and am ready. There is a girl in a higher grade than me. I think I know her from way back, when I was around 8 years old and did judo. I remember that she was hearing impaired on one ear. I know I can start a conversation about all of this if I confront her correctly. But that is the thing, how am I supposed to approach someone who is from a higher grade than me? My school schedule is different than hers, so we can't talk during the breaks. I gave up on girls in my own grade because all of the sudden all my crushes date someone. I lost interest in them because it got boring to watch from the side. They somehow also got less attractive, but I guess that is my eyes opening. 

    Since I started my journey here, I already bought some self-help books. If you guys know any good dating books for young teens, don't be afraid to leave recommendations :)

    Where on earth did you get these ideas? Masturbation is common in the animal world and humans have been masturbating for thousands of years.

    @Serotoninluv that is exactly what I thought. When I first started thinking about if masturbating was oke, I thought about how everyone has done it. Humans in the past have obviously done it right. At some point their dick got erected and they discovered a thing called orgasm right? It's these thought that made me accept masturbation.

    I would recommend contemplating what you consider "problems"

    @Serotoninluv Sometimes he gets randomly angry, sad or whatever. The amount of suffer me and my parents go through when we don't understand him at all and we see him beating his self up. Yes that is one of the problems. When he gets angry he hits his own head, or hits others. He almost got kicked out of his school because he slapped the teacher twice.

    He hasn't been programmed with what everything "means". He doesn't have a complex story about who he is and how everything in life *should* be. He doesn't have to spend years trying to deconstruct all the stories and beliefs we have been programmed with. It sounds like he simply experiences and expresses joy in the present moment. On the other hand, he might not be aware that he is enlightened.

    This is very true and I think this is his case. I got raised up as shia/sunni muslim, since watching Leo I have started dropping these beliefs. Looking at him, he doesn't even know what prayers are. Let alone reading the Quran. He does, in fact, simply experience and express joy in the present moment.

    Yet, I would encourage you to also let go of your perspective and try to enter *his* world.  Try to see things from his perceptive, try to experience his world with him. From your brother's perspective, what is important to him? What does he value? What does he want? What does he consider his problems? What is he trying to communicate he wants help for?

    You may find you and your brother become great teachers to each other, each with your own perspective. For example, humans rely heavily on language and we have low nonlanguage social and emotional intelligence (compared to language intelligence). Language is limited. Your brother's nonlanguage communication mode is normal relative to him. It's people around him that may think and tell him it's abnormal. By entering his nonlanguage world, you may develop your empathetic and intuitive modes of communication. As well, the two of you may be able to create new forms of nonlanguage communication that lead to deeper levels of human connection and love.

     The amount of times my mother wondered how his mindset would look like may finally get some answers. There are somethings I know, but trying to get into his perspective never accured to me before. I have only tried this with people without autism to get out of, stage Blue I think? Or is living in your own paradigm an Orange thing? I don't know, but I will try it. 
    The teacher part sounds exciting.

    You don't need to change people, change yourself, change your world.

    I think you would understand the love I feel for my brother. After joining this forum and starting changing my habits, I wondered if he could maybe one have a day less autistic than now. Maybe I can talk with my brother one day. You know how much my parents have wanted that when he was born? I may not need to change him, but if there is a way I will try. Of course I will start with myself first.

    Yes, is possible. Learn Tantra and guide his inner core. 

    All I could find about Tantra is that people compare it with sex and that it is 5000 years old. I am sorry but I won't do sexual stuff with my brother.

    If he is happy all the time for no reason, he may be closer to enlightenment than most of the people in this forum.

    Remember, enlightenment is not about what you gain, it is about what you lose. He may have less mental constructs of self vs other than what most "normal" people have. 

    I can understand this. He is almost always happy, doesn't care much about anything besides whatever he finds fun.

    If you are brothers you already bound in a very deep vibration. So, if you awaken, then you can influence his inner self to do the same and learn about his own being. In the process, he will wake up from the condition of Autism. 

    But it takes courage to go deep in the unknown, drama, maybe pain, etc.

    Do you mean with going deep in the unknown, going deep within him or within me? And how am I supposed to influence his inner self to do the same? As I said, he doesn't understand everything very well. If I have a hard time understanding it, how am I supposed to influence his inner self?

    Hello everyone. Today I wanted to ask somethings not about me, but my brother. He has classic autism and mental retardation which makes him unable to talk with us. He is always happy for no reason, which makes me happy. He of course behaves differently than people without is autism and mental retardation. Since I got in touch with self-actualization, reading self-help books and so on. I wondered somethings and maybe someone can give me answers.

    As I said my brother has autism and mental retardation. Is there any chance he can reach enlightenment? When I look at him, I don't even think he cares sometimes. I mean I can hate him or love him, it won't matter to him. All he wants to do is go on with his daily routine. How can he reach enlightenment at all? He isn't filled with dogma, at least that's what I think. 

    Can Truth with the capital T solve maybe some problems for him? When Leo talked about it in his video, he said that sometimes it can cure what was once incurable. I want to try it myself first, for private reasons. And maybe let him try later. But if I have to do so much research first, how is he gonna do it?

    Hello everyone. I wanted to ask a question for those who are all in for NoFap. I am very young and wonder if anyone would advise me to really get into it. Whenever I read about masturbating regurlarly, all I could see were people who said it was natural. Because I am young I am full of hormones and I can't surpress it. I tried quitting, kept getting back on it after a few weeks.

    Let me introduce myself by saying that I am young, muslim and raised up with the typical things we all heard of. Praying 5 times a day, participating in Ramadan, believing in the one and true last prophet Muhammed (s.a.w) etc. Since I have seen the Spiral Dynamics series, I really admire Yellow and Turquoise. I want to go there, but am facing a few problems.

    I started meditating I think a month ago. Since I've seen the series, I don't see a reason to do prayers. Meditating is so much more, relaxing. The typical teen problems don't seem to have value when I meditate. I can let go. Does anyone advice me to stop prayers? I wanted to do it, but thought that maybe I should quit whenever I can meditate for 1 hour at least. Until then just prayers, but prayers seem so unnecessary. Leo said that the reason Islam actually wants muslims to pray 5 times a day, is because why not enlighten 5 times a day? But I haven't even experienced enlightenment at all. I tried mindfulness while praying, but moving constantly gets frustrating. 

    When I read some statements from Quran/hadith, I saw something about calling your fellow muslims brothers/sisters. I still have the problem that I want to call everyone my brother and sister. Not just muslims. I don't see why I should call only a muslim my brother when every male in this world can be my brother. This problem made me think again about completely leaving Islam and focussing more on self-help books and meditation. Should I just do it? Do I need to, if I want to succeed with self-help, psychedelics etc?

    Just in case I need to, or people advice it. How am I supposed to tell my parents? My mom is sunni and my dad is shia. I wouldn't mind keeping it down until I am old enough to be independent.

    @martin_malin I haven't read Mastery yet. I wanted to read Six-Pillars of Self-Esteem first, but thanks for the compliment.

    How I found actualized.org is a nice story I think. I started having interests in meditation. Looking up documentaries about it on Netflix I discovered ''The Secret''. Turned out to be just the Law of Attraction but yeah sure call it The Secret. When I searched for ''Law of Attraction'' on YouTube, I discovered Leo's video. After watching it, I saw that he made a video about going full Buddha. I noticed that his channel isn't your typical BS self-improvement channel. I am muslim and so watched his ''What Is Misunderstood About Islam'' video. I loved how everyone all of the sudden hated him, because he made a video about a religion. The fact that he wasn't effected by it at all inspired me. 

    Now I am starting to read books, self-help books  and want to go beyond + go deeper in psychedelics. Since I heard him talk about the Truth, I can't stop wondering how enlightenment must feel like. Daily typical teen things don't bother me anymore. I want enlightenment. I always knew that these teen things would never satisfy me. I knew pornography and that kind of stuff was temporarily. The real deal is Truth. I heard stories about kids in my age who had already fucked, but somehow didn't seem happy at all. This explains it correctly. 

    Anyways, I always looked up to spirituality and always felt that connection. Never though it would occur in my life again.

    Hello everyone. Today I wanted to talk about books. I just started reading books, self-help books. Do you guys recommend any specific books I should really read? Are there any books you wished you would've read if you were my age (under 16)? I already ordered the following books:
    ''Mastery'' by George Leonard
    ''The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem'' by Nathaniel Branden
    ''The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens'' by Sean Covey   (currently reading)
     

    I won't put my entire booklist here, because it would just be too much. Any self-help books, biographies, religion and spirituality books are welcome.

    Hello everyone. Today I wanted to talk about my problem. Maybe one of you can help me out. I want to talk about 3 girls, we'll call them Mia, Charlotte and Emily.

    My first crush was Mia, which I still kind of have a crush now. Since I got out of Blue I started aiming more for Charlotte, but came more in touch with Emily. Mia is in a different class, so I don't have many reasons to talk with her in the first place. What am supposed to talk about with her, the different teachers we have? Charlotte and Emily however are both in my class.

    Many people in my class have noticed the tention between me and Emily. Although she wasn't part of the plan, I really like how she is. I also noticed the differences I have with Mia and the fact that Charlotte is being more distant. Mainly because I accidentally became more in touch with Emily. I think Charlotte was open for me, but now she falls back because she doesn't want to destroy her friend's (Emily's) chance with me. I don't know if I should just go for Emily, or break it and wait for an oppurtinity with Mia. 

    That's it for now. Take care everyone.
