Advice. If you like to do meditation or yoga do it. And don't blame yourself for egoitic reasons to do it. If you don't like to meditate or do yoga don't do it. And don't blame yourself for not doing it.

I think, this work is not about proving. Since being is prio to thinking. Everything happens inside Being, you can't prove it. I can have high states on psychodelics where I may realize that I am. I see that these mistical experiences improve my relationship, my life in general. But you are right you need to do the practices by yourself. Every teachings are just pointers. Godspeed.

I think, awakening can reveal different facets of Truth. The mistake is to cling to only particular facets and take it as Truth.

Could it be that there is a different depth of awakenings? On one level only Oneness seems to be Real, everything else is Illusion, on another level − Absolute and Maya are both Real, just different sides of the same coin.

@Serotoninluv @Nahm sounds funny..

@Serotoninluv what does it mean? Did you have a non-dual experience just by contemplating something?

Definitely about It:

you is part of You, when you become conscious of You, you are still there, it's just tiny part of infinity You. ... and then you come back and says: "I am You! I was always You. What a mindfuck."

Yes. And the ways how to have direct actuality are meditation, kriya yoga, psychedelics...

Is it the same as Leo often says: "You need to have awakening to understand"?

My parents split when I was three... looks like a common thing in this thread. Soon my mother found the guy-alcoholic... In general, I think I had normal childhood, that guy loved me, but for me he was mostly like a friend and not father. Anyway, I am grateful for childhood since I think due to divorce I had more love from grandma and grandpa.

@Nahm Once on LSD I zoomed in chamomile. You know what I saw there? The whole world!

That's beautiful

@arlin thanks for the thread. So many nice answers here.

These 2 series were mind-blowing, thanks for sharing.

Is there option to change a name on this forum? I don't think so.

Is there a link where I can buy it and watch? Edit: Okay, I found how to buy ticket to US cinema, but I am in EU.

Thanks a ton.

My road with LSD was something like this: 10, 10, 20, 10, 125, 100... So, yes, starting from 20ug.. looks good to me.

This is just amazing. Thanks for making.

I kinda agree and disagree. Nothing can prepare you to 5meo trip. But I think having experience with shrooms or LSD may help in integration part (when 5meo trip is over).

Amazing. I did it via vaporizing, "shaman" was guiding me through the whole process. But anyway, I believe starting from low dose and plugging as Leo suggested is better. Since you can map experience to the environment, like with regular dose of LSD. And I think with plugging you need to teach yourself to let go, with vaporizing on such a big dose you don't have a choice, you let go anyway.

Let me continue this riddle... Most people who've taken 5-MeO-DMT as their first psychedelic haven't taken a huge dose of it for the first time. I took a huge dose of 5-MeO-DMT (around 50mg) as a first try of psychedelics. Looks like my experience is unique in this regard. But yeah, I recommend starting from shrooms or even just micro-dosing of LSD.

I am 30, my relationships are improved drastically from all the tools Leo providing. With LSD I have started from micro-dosing 10ug, then 20ug, then only I did a full 125ug dose (with a sober trip sitter for the first time). I obviously don't know you, but if your psyche is mature enough I see huge benefits from doing psychedelics in proper settings with proper intention. And based on your post you have a great intention to do them. I think for most of the people awakening is not gonna happen from the first use of psychedelics. Also, even if it happens it's temporary in most of the cases. So, don't worry you are not going to turn into monk and go live to cave from the few usage of psychedelics. The ego mind is super strong, you probably underestimate it, it will return back again and again after high states on psychedelics. Just treat these tools responsibly since they are super effective.

I agree. Last week I had a shroom trip and on the peak of the experience I realized who I am. I would call it micro-awakening since it lasted just during the peak. But the thing is - before the trip I was watching a lot of non-dual videos. It's so easy to misinterpret the experience. So, theory is important. But it doesn't mean that practice is not. This is the game of personal balance. It differs from individual to individual and from the phase of life the individual in.
