@Yarco Very helpful. Definitely breaking it down that much makes it less intimidating. I'll read that book.

@hyruga @Eternal Unity I mean no disrespect, but isn't the whole task of enlightenment and consciousness work more difficult when trying to do it by religion's rules? I think consciousness work and (modern/mainstream) religion have drifted apart by a great deal and in general no longer pursuit the same ego-less objective. I' sure that it is possible to only listen to the true and non-diluted bits but why not just go directly to less diluted sources and (of course its personal preference), but why engage in all the custom and cultural side of religion (meaning not the esotericism)? It doesn't make sense to me, from the point of view of those who willingly convert in search of enlightenment. If you were born inside a religious household I guess its hard to unsubscribe to that way of thinking. Sorry if I came across as a bit insensible but I don't know how else to ask

@hyruga Didi you read form multiple religions?

I’m not an expert but I don’t think it’ll work. ASMR basically is just shallow stimulation, you’ll just get distracted. There are other ways aside meditation. Like contemplation, visualization, etc.

@Cepzeu It would be nice if you created a mega pack with all Leo's videos. I'd love to have a backup! Hopefully the day never comes, but it'd be terrible if all videos where lost (to YT's banning crusade or something like that).

@Leo Gura Leo is an undercover flatearther.

Yeah I wouldn't wanna do that unless I want to end up in a CIA lab

I believe there are many ways to practice and develop psychic abilities but i recently came across an app to aid with this. Do you think things like this “game” do help to exercise ESP (Extra sensory perception)? The app’s simple. You’re given four squares, choose the right one and you’re rewarded with a chime, a vibration and a picture and you move on to try again. Choose wrong and your just shown the correct square and try again. There really is no other way to choose the right one without guessing or using “the force” hehe. The app is just called “ESP Trainer”.

@cookiemonster It feels as if they're hungry to take all the world. They're quite behind everyone else, specially behind Japan in most aspects so I wouldn't trash the possibility they might try to do something (maybe not nuke). It's like a kid making a tantrum, except there's the world at stake.

I took a single square from a strip of five sold to me as 100 ug per tab. It was my first time and maybe that contributed to the overwhelming experience but after reading some reports and technical data I started to suspect that my trip was considerably stronger than what the internet depicted. Maybe it had to do with my set and setting, etc but I record almost 15 hours since intake until I fully recovered normal function and for all due purposes out of the effects. During the trip, close to the peak but not even at the climax I had a real bad time keeping my balance, not so much as nausea, but more as if I had ran a marathon and could barely walk to the bathroom. To the point where I decided to lie down and just drift off with the visuals and sensations, sleeping from time to time, very lucidly. To the point I had a hard time telling apart being awake from asleep (but not in a negative way). I attempted to eat a couple hours after the peak: meat felt grainy like dirt, fruit was interesting but quickly got sick of it too. Through out the trip I got cold or hot too easily, I was switching the AC on and off every 10 minutes. Also I fell into thought loops quite often, but nothing too serious. Sounds where ramping up and slowing down as if I was playing with a DJ console. Overall, it was a very interesting and intense experience, not very negative but heavy on the body load. I took a second trip (again, just one 100 ug tab, supposedly) and this was similar in intensity but quickly turned into hell due to inadequate set and setting and some mental negligence of mine. Thought loops (hell loops) where much more scarce but way too strong. These experiences where definitely a +++ (Shulgin scale), leaning on the heavy side (but I've got no reference point as these are my only two experiences with any substances). The point is that these trips seemed way too strong for just 100 ug, to the point I would take "100 ug" maximum from the same batch until I gain more hours of experience. I'll probably go with half a tab and scale up gradually. Is this how the first trips are supposed to feel? Will it tone down with practice? Does it sound like it was a higher than 100 ug/tab? Any suggestions?

@flowboy Please elaborate. I know you have to let go, but I've heard sometimes the trip is just too much and maybe is best to try to distract your self a bit. Some times you're just not ready to get the full blow head first. Specially when the trip goes haywire. Bad trips can teach a lot, I know, but sometimes it is not worth the trauma. Wouldn't you agree?

@flume Does the farm is self sustainable in terms of finances? Or do you have to inject resources from time to time? I was thinking about pairing whatever food business I end up manifesting with an organic farm. I love raising plants. Specially heirloom veggies

I'm an aspiring chef and aspiring business man. I'm currently a student of gastronomy and I would love to hear some insight from open minded and trascendental people. Ive been brainstorming ideas on how to develop my life purpose through cooking. Naturally I ended up with some interesting ideas about healthy/alternative food and psychoactive food. BUT... I really want to hear if you've got any tips, anecdotes or ides in regards to this.

does it get more manageable with practice?

@Elisabeth My bad I forgot to mention them. Moderate geometrical shapes mostly with closed eyes. Opened eyes had more of like chromatic aberration and on large clear surfaces a metallic rainbowy fx (like diffraction ) At the very peak there where some very strong CEVs (seeing another entity / realm ) The trip was to strong on the body to stay awake and with opened eyes.

@Recursoinominado Yeah, I thought that a 100 was a good beginners dose, below a 100 seemed to close to a microdose

I remember seeing somewhere that a guy said he used to enter some sort of dissociative state by putting a guitar amp at high volume and letting the feedback noise play. And laying right next to the speaker. I’m guessing it has something to do with the powerful vibrations kind of knocking you unconscious but not all the way. Has anybody heard of something like this? Does it make sense?

I know, but I was just wandering if it actually worked

What happened to the sub forum for psychedelics, trip reports and all that? Did it exist or am I imagining it?

@SamC well, to start i was thinking of plainly selling microdoses in the form of candy (which I believe already exist) and the rest of the project i’ll figure it out as the law calms down a bit

Also, letting go plays a huge huge role in this. Daring Greatly by René Brown will solve that.

@Flowerfaeiry Kill Your Self: Life AfterEgo by: Dogo Barry I wouldn't call this book a informative masterpiece, but there's something about t that just makes you warm, vulnerable and with a will to be less selfish. Like mystical poetry (its not literally poetry).

@Matt23 thanks! I thing I'll get it

Written by Bessel Van Der Kolk M.D. Its about how the body manifests past trauma (and other psychological problems I guess) as physical ailments.

Saw this quote somewhere, can’t remember. But what do you think?
