@passerby your comment puts a little anxiety in me since I've been vaping thc for 2 years on and off, i wonder how heavily i fucked my lungs :(. Id always think even if they do get fucked, proper yoga or diet or “access to the creator within you” as sadhguru puts it would allow me to heal my lungs back to normal. Hopefully thats the case or better yet hopefully they aren't even that fucked :/.

@Fishy thats what i thought of doing, i could do that but i really like the simplicity of the metronome focusing. I think focusing on the breath might be too big of an “object” to concentrate on, if you get what i mean, when i tried it i kept losing focus more so than the metronome. But i still could keep at it and ill probably see different results over time, i only tried it once anyway.

What i seemed to notice once on an LSD trip was that my sense of self was being created directly out of fear, and that fear had a tension within the physical body that was associated with it. As i came down i noticed how, like an onion, from an experience of almost nothingness, layers of tension stacked on to one another. First came the fear of death, which became the self, then i noticed another wave of tension be created which created desire. What I'm now having trouble doing is letting go of all the tension that is associated with those things, because it seemed that just being able to rid the tension associated physically would allow it to contract and disappear. How can i effectively reduce all tensions within sensory experience and the physical body?

Sometimes when im being particularly conscious i get a sensation around my third eye, and less often and intense but still relevantly ill feel what sort of seems to be an energetic link in a straight line from the root chakra to the third eye chakra with all those in between. The thing about this sensation is im not completely sure that its a real effect and not just an illusion of my mind. How can i be sure what im feeling is real or just placebo?

@Aaron p it doesnt quite feel cool, but it feels like a tension almost, maybe it actually is just a tension but i tried massaging the area and its still present so i really dont know at this point

A friend of mine who currently has no understanding of consciousness, meditation, enlightenment or spirituality told me that he would be willing to begin to learn about it if i want him to, and that i should send him resources to learn about it. As i said he has 0 understanding of the subject, and it would just mean the world to me if i could be the reason he becomes enlightened. I desperately need ideas to “lure” him into the act of turning inward. I need to plant the seed in him so he is absolutely forced and compelled by his better judgement and reason to turn inward into enlightenment, like myself. I soon plan to go to a monastery, and if i can somehow succeed in convincing him to come with me, i think enlightenment wouldn't be too far off for him. If he becomes enlightened, i can pretty much die without much regret. Please give me any ideas or resources you think would be the best of the best ways to convince him, his well being depends on it!

The first time i took LSD (2 tabs), i remember distinctly i took on a new feeling i wasn't familiar with. Throughout most or certain parts of my body, i began to feel sensations of “softness” or perhaps “vulnerability” associated with whatever was in my sensory experience. As im beginning to meditate more frequently, i am starting to feel this exact same sensation, and when i become less conscious it goes away; so i take to it that this odd and illusive feeling thats really hard to describe perfectly has some association with becoming aware of experience. So im wondering, has anybody else felt this feeling of “softness” “willingness” or perhaps a sort of “fragile intensity” within themselves? It could be just energy flowing throughout me, but the sensation of energy has always seemed to be a slight mystery for me, as i previously had never felt it but recently ive had some experiences where i feel a slight intensity in certain spots of myself (not the same as this softness i describe, however right now im experiencing the softness i described WITHIN the intensity. It seems like the softness is a feeling associated with sensory experience.) Right now i feel that intensity and the softness around my third eye; which would help the case that the intensity is energy because I've done a lot of practices for the third eye in recent time. So tell me what you think, have you felt this feeling of softness or fragile and vulnerable intensity before? If you know what it is im talking about please describe it in detail for me, thanks!

As i sit down to investigate my beliefs about reality i find i come to the same conclusion about things. When i really think about it, i find my answer to questions like “who am i” “what is this ‘floor’ that i see?” “What is this experience im experiencing?” Is just “i dont know.” When i arrive at that answer, i have no idea where to go or what to do. I just become confused and leave answerless. Do i just sit in that state of not knowing? Im not exactly sure whether i truly don't know these things, or if ive somehow deluded myself into believing i don't know when i already have an unconscious assumption about it. Either way, how can i figure out whether i truly don't know the answer to these kinds of questions? And if it is such that i truly don't know, what do i do then?

I plan on doing more meditation now that school is over for me, but i have a few specific benefits id like to receive while meditating for now. I would like to gain: Heightened focus Heightened awareness Heightened susceptibility to laughter More energy If you know any practices that have worked really well for you or gave you any of the above benefits, don’t hesitate to let me know

With leos new video on reality, the thought of accessing these higher states of consciousness really grabs me. Im a newbie to psychedelics, only have taken 3 tabs of LSD on different occasions. Ive been researching the subject of enlightenment for maybe one and a half years, and the idea of infinite consciousness for a bit less than that. I intend to spend the rest of my life on this work, figuring out as many complications as i can. Anyway, i hear all of the amazing experiences people have of infinite consciousness and infinite imagination, so they make me wonder: exactly what is essentially guaranteed to go wrong if i tried to take 5meo? You could probably say im a newbie in this work and im definitely a newbie relating to psychedelics. Assuming i don't have fake drugs, what are the imminent dangers of testing the waters with the stuff by micro-dosing?

Usually throughout 80% of my day i feel incredibly tired and out of energy. Im like this i think most likely because i really don't move around much. But when i took LSD, i noticed that feeling of tiredness i constantly feel was completely gone. I had so much more energy, i stayed up for 20 hours without being tired once; i only went to bed because i had a stomach ache i didn't want to deal with. I noticed that everything i would do, i would do it with a very high sense of involvement. When talking to my friends i was so much happier & more willing to make jokes and laugh with them; the conversations we would have we so much better too. It seemed absolutely everything i did throughout the trip i just did better. I was just an infinitely better person. I think this is all because i actually had energy for once, so i was much more able to be myself. It was like the LSD turned the experience of being tired into something else almost, I'm not sure, but the bottom line is i was energetic. So I'm wondering, why would LSD do this? To my understanding LSD doesn't just “give” you energy like methamphetamine would, so if thats the case, how was i able to be so energetic, and how could it just eradicate my tiredness and turn it into energy?

@Enlightenment @hamedsf So is there some sort of practice i can do to fix my tiredness? Id much rather do meditation than workout. I also noted i really never got hungry after only eating one meal.

@dimitri yeah im likely gonna do that; what was your MEO experience like?

@nowimhere ok as i expected i need more research before doing it and more experience. But hypothetically, what would happen to me most likely if i were to just take a normal dose of MEO. Would my brain just shit itself? Would i go crazy? Definitely not going to do it yet, didnt quite plan on it in the first place, but I'm still wondering what would happen to me.

Im currently debating whether it would be better to take 3 tabs and get one intense experience, or take 1 tab w/ a week buffer between my next trip in order to have more, less intense trips. My thinking is that if i take 1 per week or so then one possible outcome will be less intense experiences, but each experience will give me answers to different, new problems i wouldnt have thought of in one day, so perhaps it will be more productive that way. Or, maybe taking 3 tabs will be the method that accomplishes that, since the dose is higher maybe i will find answers or see things i couldn't have seen on low doses. Another possibility is that taking one per week or so is more of a “fun” method and maybe wont give me as much answers as it will a little fun experience where i can talk with my friends and play a game or something like that. Im not really sure which method will accomplish which outcome, and im also not sure which is the outcome i prefer. Could someone more experienced shine some light on my thinking?

@Psychonaut well i am trying to become more practical in my life right now, im trying to start a drop shipping buisness so i think practical insights would be of use to me; in which case microdosing would be the best option? The other end of this though is i also want a little bit of recreational fun with the drug so would micro-dosing be sort of bad for that? Should i make a compromise between the two and take maybe half a tab with more time in between so i get a bigger experience for fun and also get practical use, or maybe is it better to pick one side and not dilute the benefits of either one?

@Psychonaut so should i take small parts of tabs you think? If so how much might you say and what would be the greatest benefit

Im not in school anymore and im not sure what you mean by get me out the whole. Also you answer one tab is better, why? @Shadowraix ive done two tabs before so perhaps ill be a little more ready for it, what would you say one tab per week would give me in terms of experience? Would it just be little trips thatd be maybe less productive but would offer a good time with friends or something?

@Mu_ id say my goal is to experience no self, then master my energies to become a more joyful and overall better person, then either dive deeper into consciousness work and afterwards master the rest of my body or vice versa.

Im not quite sure whether it would be faster and more beneficial for me to pursue an awakening, then master my energies, or master my energies (to the extent of accessing the microcosmic orbit) and then pursue enlightenment. Which end goal would give me the most benefit such that doing that one over the other makes the whole process of doing both go faster, since one provides more benefit towards the other than if i did the other first?

@Nahm @Barna in the last week or so i haven't been keeping up with practicing and it might stay that way for a little but i plan on leaving for a monastery in a while and focusing on that there. Id like to for one, dissolve my ego as an attachment and experience no self. Then, master my energies so i can hopefully become a more active, energetic, enthusiastic & overall better person. Then continue to dive deeper into consciousness work, then learn to master this body or maybe the other way around.

Ive started doing a thing called semen retention and its been only a few days now, i don’t think ill have a huge issue stopping myself from ejaculating either. But what i’m wondering is why exactly is porn bad? What bad things has it done to me that i can’t see? I recall hearing that it can be good for your energies if you become aroused but retain your semen especially if your able to control where you move the energy within your body, so why would it be bad for me to accomplish that with the use of pornography? Is it specifically related to videos? Is it specifically related to just watching other people have intercourse? Or is it not the content itself that matters but instead the way my brain reacts to whatever it sees?

Often i hear from spiritual gurus and people of general wisdom speak of an idea where you live each day like it was your last day alive. This makes sense to me, as then you would fulfill your truest desires without fear, worry, delay, hesitation, or anything of the sort, since it wont matter soon anyway. If i were to live like this, i would immediately find a way to source 5meoDMT and take as much as would give me the highest experience possible within me, without doing too much and gaining nothing (like finding the perfect sweetspot for the most experience possible), as thats the most important thing to me right now. But if i were to simply do this right now, there are obvious downsides. The reason I wouldn’t take as much as i could possibly handle if someone gave it to me right now is because theres no fear of certain imminent death, and there could very well be major health repercussions from doing such a thing. But yet still, i would take 5meodmt if offered to me, except with saftey and proper dosage and method in mind. Regardless, i would like to have to say; is it truly worth it to live exactly as you would if death happens tomorrow?

@ajasatya besides sex, tell me of the benefits you got. Was it really the deciding factor that changed your life, or was it your drive to change yourself that did so?

I guess i cant predict the future but the way my life is going, at least for a long time, i dont see that ill ever want or need to have a partner. I plan on going to a monastery to be a monk soon, where ill quit porn there. But for now i think the most benefit id get by quitting would be delayed gratification & semen retention. Maybe i can use it as a rewarding system.
