@Jordan94 I do not know, going to my first Vipassana retreat in one month I suppose that all such techniques are quite similar: be aware of emotion, ..., let it go.

I am wondering how this letting go technique is different from the Sedona method?

To read a lot is also a trap. Measure reading not in a time or amount of pages read, but in actions which you took after reading. I.e. 1 book read and 100 actions taken is better than 100 books read and 1 action taken. That's why I often stop while reading and ask myself: "How this information will change my behavior?" I took this question from Leo's episode: The quality of what you read is also important, I really suggest to buy Leo's book list if you haven't. PS: I read a lot since I live quite far from the job and use a bus to commute.

@Anton_Pierre Leo is on 30-days retreat, watch his "Life Is A Dream" episode if I may suggest.

@Hellspeed is there resource on the Internet where I can read about the dried meat phenomena?

Dried Bufo alvarius toad...

@Wisebaxter Yes, but I am a complete newbie in psychedelics area, tried only once, but it's enough for now: Completely agree about the importance of standard practices. Good luck, man. PS: I am also planning to try LSD microdoses.

I tried armodafinil, maybe 3-4 tablets at total. I liked the effect but when it's over (after 10 hours) I've got more depressed feeling than usual, so I stopped taking armodafinil. Of course, nootropics is nothing compared to a big dose of 5meo, but I like this stuff. Recently, I started to take l-theanine, I feel so relaxed and focused, love this stuff, going to stick to it for a while.

Thank you.

> to remain in nonduality for significantly longer compared to 5meo dmt. There is no time in nonduality, isn't it? Just kidding. Thank you for the information.

When I am thinking I've read some useful stuff, I stop reading and ask: "How this information will change my behavior?".

Start from "Do lying" 20 minutes per day. It's important to make it a habit, watch Leo's episode on "How To Lie".

@Amun Is @Wisebaxter's Girlfriend Really an Illusion?

I stopped drinking coffee approx. 8 months ago. I remember I was reading "The Slight Edge" book in that time which brought motivation for me. Was doing Tony Robins visualization exercise to associate the drinking coffee to something bad. I remember I was doing "1 month" without coffee before deciding to drop it completely. I also dropped drinking alcohol and smoking weed a few months before dropping coffee. So, I didn't have a craving to coffee at all compare to weed. Good luck.

It feels like you are lacking a mastery path. So, maybe you want to start working through the "Life Purpose" course?

Thank you for sharing the meditation-instructions. I found the article about it: https://tricycle.org/magazine/tilopas-six-nails

@Aaron p thank you for the insights, especially about self-inquiry process. > It's much harder to realise that this is a dream... On the next day after the 5meo trip I was staying on the railway station in Netherland and had such weird feeling that reality is collapsing, that I am going to eternity, to all moments, back in time to the trip and everywhere, it was pretty scary, I was staying and saying: no, no, I want to live, I love my life. Similar fair occurred after watching the "Walking Life" movie late at night. Now I am a bit scary to go to Vipassana retreat which is planned for April. Anyway, it's inevitable. Have a good day, my friend.

"whatever you think cannot be anything more than a thought."

I remember this for life And now I see much clearer I'm not scared to die 'Cause I will live forever I will be alive In this moment For eternity, for eternity

As everything except ...

I found the nice movie on this topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waking_Life

@cetus56 ??♥️

Nope, going to watch it now. Thank you.

I enjoy reading your journal. I am re-watching "Awareness Alone Is Curative - How To Auto-Correct Unwanted Behaviors" video. So, maybe put even more awareness to chess if you want to drop it.
