@bmcnicho I have taken LSA capsules while in good states. I experience a nice increase in my Consciousness but i always feel sedated. Kinda energetically paralyzed. I actually do believe these plants are intelligent and they have defense mechanisms. I don't feel that the hawain baby woodrose is toxic though. I have always felt good after taking. But it feels like it's trying to diminish the energy of anyone eating it , maybe for its own survival. This is all just speculation.

@Davino @Davino I think you are being overdramatic. Why is that though? I have taken various substances before while sleep deprived with no consequences whatsoever. These substances were alchohol, marijuana, caffeine, antihistamines & anti-anxiety medication. I don't know about that. Apparently every moment you are awake your brain is losing brain cells lol. I know people who are sleep deprived for decades and are still relatively healthy in their 60s. It's not ideal. But people can indeed survive without perfect sleep.

Leo says: I really don't understand this. I don't get it. Why am i biased against being tortured by some Mexican drug cartel for hours? Because it automatically feels awful, terrible. It's something beyond a mere preference. It's biology. Something feels terrible just because it feels terrible. And therefore you automatically don't want it, don't like it, don't prefer it. That is the bottom line, in my opinion. Why am i biased towards a certain temperature? Because it automatically feels good and pleasant. Something feels good just because it feels good. Certain biases can be more fluid and changeable. But other biases are more concrete and just a part of reality, part of biology.

@manuel bon Kala esy? From what i know, even without the coat , the nausea is unavoidable. It just lessens.

Leo says that: Also he defines this as what Love is... But If there is no reason between anything, then why does Leo create a 2 hour long video talking about the importance of Truth and how avoiding Truth will lead to a miserable life? This doesn't make much sense to me when all of Leo's work is devoted to help people reach higher levels of joy, happiness, success, truth & etc. It's basically all about creating the good life. This quote sounds nice in theory but in my direct experience there is a huge difference between a lot of stuff.

@Leo Gura Why is that the case though? I don't understand. You say that from an absolute POV feeling terrible is no better or worse than feeling good. I guess when you use the term ''better'' or ''worse'' you are talking about desirability.

@nhoktinvt Why is that? 1 is 1. Infinity is everything. They are not the same.

@itsadistraction This makes no sense and goes contrary to my direct experience of life. Why there is no difference between things?

There is an obese greek mother who has 3 children and uploads content on YouTube. I stumbled on her content few months ago, and I was watching it mainly for curiosity/understanding & entertainment reasons. For example, it was interesting to watch her reactions, when other people negatively criticized her for feeding her children a lot of junk food.. One of her responses was that the children will eventually get bored of this junk food as they grow older........ & also she doesn't want her children to be jealous of other kids at school who are eating junk food............ Anyways today I saw that she was live streaming and I entered the stream. I asked her 2 simple questions and I got two extremely low consciousness responses... 1st question was if she believed in God. Her response was "what kind of question is this?? Of course yes".... 2nd question was what did she believe happens when people die. Her response was "what kinda of question is this? they die. " .......... These two extremely bad responses made me realize more how underdeveloped most people are. My problem is that I expect everyone to be as developed as myself (I do not claim to be super developed either, I guess I am the high end of conventional stage). Many people do not seem to care at all about metaphysical questions... And they react badly when you ask them such questions.. They are super quick to dismiss you for some reason.. I got annoyed by these stupid replies and I don't understand why she replied with this manner. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

@Bobby_2021 I don't agree. Her mind probably didn't even go that far to conclude that she doesn't know. She dismissed the question and gave a quick nonsensical response. She didn't even think for 1 second what I asked her. That would take too much effort for her. You can definitely tell someones development by the responses he/she gives you.

@Bobby_2021 Her response about death was bs. She didn't even respond to my question.

@Juan Yes i agree. I try to be compassionate and understanding as much as possible. But I think it is inevitable that we are gonna get hurt emotionally to some degree by the stupidity of others. It bothers me mainly because I do not understand why some people behave the way they do..

@Leo Gura Lol ? Yes I find this to be more and more true every day. Why do some people are quick to dismiss you when you ask them some metaphysical questions?

Leo, you're an intelligent man who ingests various chemicals and sometimes unknown chemicals to most people. This all seems like an oxymoron to me.. I'm not personally judging you. Quite the opposite. I kinda admire this fearlessness about you (I know you're probably super careful too). I am genuinely trying to understand your thought process regarding ingesting various compounds. You could have played it really safe and only took the traditional well-known psychedelics and never messed with the newer stuff. I have tried only mushrooms, Lsa, LSD, & dmt. But I really want to explore other psychedelic compounds as well. Fear is holding me back from trying other psychedelics.

Read carefully my story so the same pattern does not happen to you. A month ago I experienced an unexpected drastic shift in Consciousness. This lead to drastic changes in my life. The changes were too much I think for my system, because I could not sleep more than 2-3 hours per day.(Physically I was feeling fine though). This made me seek professional help. A group of psychiatrists (3 of them) prescribed me Olanzopine & Lorazepam. One of the doctors told me that you'll sleep very well with these medications. Problem is that he didn't warn me about the side effects. I've had experience with Lorazepam but I had no clue about Olanzopine. And I made the mistake of not researching enough of the drug. Maybe because I knew I wasn't willing to take the medication more than a month.. Anyways.. After 1-2 weeks I began noticing my weight increasing. After 3 weeks I had incredible uncontrollable urges to overeat carbohydrates and I noticed that even when I was eating like 10 egg whites & including other protein sources I was not getting full no matter what... This was so frustrating and caused me enormous misery.... Finally after doing my research I found that Olanzopine is a drug notoriously known to cause incredible weight gain. Like 40-80 pounds weight gain. Serious serious stuff.. This drug blocks histamine receptors in your brain and thus blocking your satiety signal. Moreover I've found that while on this drug, my Consciousness was lowered and I was less intelligent. These anti psychotic medications lower your Consciousness while on them. Now I've discontinued the medications and I feel much sharper. I take 100% responsibility because I was too fearful/stupid to research the potential side effects. But these psychiatrists didn't warn me about this. This is very distressing.....

@undeather Judson Brewer talks about the number needed to treat which according to him is 1 in 5. You can watch videos about him on YouTube. I really don't know the full details. But the videos below are really mind boggling.

@undeather Psychiatric drugs work on average for 1 to 5 people according to Judson Brewer. Another reason they prescribe these drugs is because that's their only solution under the materialist paradigm. It's really sad when you see people zombiefied and all messed up because of this line of treatment. I'm not against these medications. But it shouldn't be the only tool used.

@RendHeaven This reminds me of the Buddha. Initially he used to starve himself in order to attain Enlightment. He was really hardcore. Close to the brink of death.

@Schizophonia What is your problem??

@undeather Most psychiatrists here in Greece, prescribe medications carelessly like candies without giving any warnings. That's what they have been trained to do basically. Anytime you got an issue, immediately here is a drug for it. A friend of mine has gotten all messed up because of medications he takes. It seems that many, if not most of these psychiatric drugs, solve one problem, only to cause another one.

@Schizophonia Now I can sleep well. I am not a smoker any more. And cannabis is super addictive for me. Benzos are not addictive though (for me) . I never abused them. They are not to be used longer than 1 month. If you take Benzos for sleep you can just take 1 pill before sleep and it does the job. That's what I did. Lorazepam has a long half life. Other Benzos have shorter half life.

@integral The funny thing with all these psychiatrists.. is that they are so eager to prescribe you medications without warning you about the downsides, while themselves they usually haven't taken any of the medications. They usually haven't been the ones being prescribed and suffered from medications. That's why they do not care too much.

@Sugarcoat Interesting story. You cannot completely trust doctors or any human for that matter.

@undeather Will the metabolism of the drugs and their effectiveness change if I am no longer ingesting food? Keep in mind I want to do only 3 days of fasting.

I've been prescribed lorazepam and olanzopine at night, to get more hours of sleep. Soon I'll be off the medications. I'm thinking about doing a 3 day water only fast. I have successfully done fasts before so I have some experience and know what to expect. BTW I love fasting. Its so much easier than dieting. This is an opportunity for me to do the fast now. Also with the medication I will be sleeping a lot better while fasting. Can I do a 3 day water fast while on these medications??
