  1. I am 22 and lost on what career I want to do and I am currently unemployed and living at home in a small town. I have done strength test from Authentic Happiness but each time I've done the test I get different results. I have enough money to travel for a few months and am curious if going to a country where psychedelic medicine is legal and doing a ceremonial trip with ayahuasca or mushroom or even MDMA psychotherapy might help me find a path that I should follow. thanks!


  2. In leo's video the pyramid has sex in the physiological category (the bottom of the pyramid) then it has sexual intimacy in the love/ belonging category  (the third level) So my question is what is the difference my understanding previously was that the bottom was just what was required to keep you alive why is sex included in this? I am 22 and have barely had sex ever and when i have i never actually got enjoyed it because i was either too drunk or nervous or too in my head.  i just feel like girls always just want me to be there boyfriend and they wont have sex with me unless i fully comitt to them. im 22 dont have a job witch makes it hard to get girls that i want because what do i tell there parents you know i dont have a job? like fuck and the only jobs that are going are shitty dead end jobs like im confident in some aspects with girls but i am just super confused as to what to do like if i can just get some sex like the pyramid suggests will that make it easier for me to move up to the second level of that pyramid witch has employment? do i feel like i am not suitable for any job even shitty jobs because im so fucked in the head because i never have sex like someone please help what does sex do for you psychologically whats the difference between sex and sexual intimacy i have money but don't have a income so i cant even rent a house i live with my parents like the fact that ive never had sex is that making my head all messed up? Has anyone ever got to 22 and never had sex and then had it and had like a kind of instant change in there outlook on the whole thing please help :)


  3. I did a psychotherapy session with this lady who has done vipassanas and has a masters in psychology and traveled around the east and all.  She says that psychedelics are bad basically and that she refuses to work with me if I take any drugs. She also charges $160 per hour witch seems like allot. Im not sure if she has ever taken psychedelics but this just seems weird to me is psychotherapy really that powerful for personal development? more than psychedelics? Is my money better spent doing allot of meditation/ self inquiry and reading and other ways wim hof method and all this? I just dont understand what is wrong with taking psychedelics for personal growth is my money better spent on buying a $15 tab of acid every two weeks rather than $160 every two weeks on psychotherapy? is it common for psychotherapist to refuse to work with people who take them? it just seems fishy to me.  


  4. Frank89- well to be honest I don't really understand it and i also don't know how i was able to remain calm, i kind of feel like i had a choice to let it happen or to have it not happen there was a sense of control there was an initial shock when i first had the thought of its all a dream meaning waking reality and all realities haha i cant explain it but i feel like maybe to do with how people say the subconscious is more accessable during lucid dreaming so maybe part of my conscious mind had access to the sub conscious when i woke up hahah idk thoe 


  5. So the other night something really crazy happened and its hard to explain but ill try. I was having a dream and in the dream i was talking to duncan trussel (podcaster often on joe rogan experience) and he talks allot about Buddhism and like life being a dream and if i remember correctly he said to me in the dream this is a dream or its all a dream. I woke up not long after that point in the dream and when i woke up (about 4:30am)  i remembered him saying that and it triggered in me something fucking insane it was like all my existential or like metaphysical understanding went into some crazy overdrive mode where i was really like feeling this is all a dream or something my thoughts went into overdrive  and like compounded and compounded until it was something i can only imagine is like dmt my whole auditory/ visual field just became completely overwhelmed with like static sound and like white light but i let it happen and didnt freak out and it lasted maybe 20 seconds all up. Im not sure what the hell happened i have been doing allot of kryia yoga/ no fap/ ecstatic dance, normal yoga and meditation. Not sure if its related my friend said it could be like some kundalini shit but i don't know, does anyone have any idea hahah?
