    It's all cool and fun until you hear your own heart stop beating. 

    One may say death is but an experience. But it is certainly real. Just like anything else.

    There is no such thing as "unreal".

    Everything is imagination, and imagination is hella real.

    I am with you on that. It's definitely real. It's just not what it appears to be (what usually people think it is).

    I literally just bought 17 books, used a big chunk of my money, all of the recommendations are really interesting. Maybe I went a bit overboard, but I couldn't help myself, lol.

    Looks like you are really serious about this work. I wish you a success in your journey. 

     

    Also, don't forget to save some money on psychedelics if you are into it. ;)

    That's not what I see. Determinism is a mind a model of reality. It implies cause and effect, which is a function of time. Determinism, at least how I have conceptualized it throughout my life, is based on time. It's based on action, reaction, causes leading to effects occurring in a process oriented fashion. But this is not what's going on in reality if you look closely enough. There is no such thing as cause and effect, there is no such thing as time, and there's no such thing as determinism. There's also no such thing as randomness either.

    Determinism is based on the notion that reality is 'determined' but reality is completely causeless and free. But within this absolute freedom is an absolute lack of freedom too. Again, I'm not entirely sure how to explain it other than by saying I don't see determinism. I also don't not see it in the sense that I'm able to phase shift my perspective into no free will. So making the statement that determinism is what's going on misses the fact that determinism isn't occurring. And that's what I want people reading to directly experience for themselves. It's not only one or the other, it's both and neither. Being paradigm locked into "oh it's determinism" or "oh we have free will" misses the other side of the coin. 

    Amazing, thanks for pointers ;)

    Imagine Bob has a dream with bob dream character.
    Does bob have a free will? Probably not, unless bob realises that he is not just bob, but he is Bob and always was Bob. 
    Now we can say that bob has a free will to dream whatever he wants but as a Bob, not as a bob dream character.

    Edit:

    So, essentially, you are asking how to show bob that he is a dream character? I don't know. I would say meditation, yoga, psychedelics is the way. But maybe, as people mentioned, just tell bob to observe his thoughts. It should be clear at some point that bob doesn't create them (the same applies to actions).

    Psychedelics have their own flavor, yet each psychedelic has a range of flavors. For example, each of my Ayahuasca trips were very very different. 

    This is more prominent at higher doses. If I take a light dose of 50ug of LSD, I pretty much know what to expect. Yet if I took a strong dose of 150ug the trip could go many places and I wouldn’t have an idea what be revealed. 

    Yet there are some general flavors that appear. For example, San Pedro is super gentle. I can “come and go”. Mushrooms are much more possessive. 4-ho-met often brings warmth and amazing CEVs. 

    You can get a rough idea from others, yet the best way to learn is to get in the saddle.  

    Interesting, for me mushrooms was much more gentle than LSD. But I am a psychonaut-beginner.

    Hi Katie. 

    Welcome to the forum! ;)

    It's interesting how everything is interconnected. I started to do shrooms a few months ago and I already visited your YouTube channel while surfing YouTube on shrooms topic. Imagine, I read your post, then open the video, then see the channel and.. booom, I already have been here before, surprise. 

    Anyway, I wish you a beautiful journey and one more time, welcome.

    A mother of course loves her children out of selfishness, self-bias, and survival, but this is still genuine love. It's just very limited.

    @Leo Gura How can you say that if you never had a direct experience of being a mother (even a father I guess)? Isn't it just a story-telling?

    I can understand that if I never taken psychedelics I don't want to speak about them (since it will be far away from truth), or tell about sex if I didn't have one, imagine virgin teaches the nature of sex.
