I have tried both at different times. That's why I say I wouldn't dare to combine them. But there are people that are willing to try very risky things out there

I wouldn't dare to combine them, but I'm really curious about the experience that those two can produce when combined. Has anyone done it, or knows someone who did? What can happen? I haven't found any trip report on that

It feels good, and for that reason there is a high probability of getting addicted to it. The insights are less likely to be useful the more you use it

From the "On Bullshit" book, the algorithm took me into this George Carlin show, and I laughed a lot. It's surprisingly coherent with many of the content either created by or shared by Leo. He point out bullshit and epistemic pervertry very well

hahah and what happens when you do that?

Hey everyone, I was recently gifted some Salvia 30x — totally unexpected, I didn’t ask for it. Now that I have it, curiosity has started to kick in… even though I’ve read plenty of reports warning that it can be intense, disorienting, and often downright unpleasant. Many describe it as non-recreational and even liken it to visiting a kind of "nightmare realm." That said, I came across a guy on YouTube who shared a different approach: what he calls the “ramping up” method. It involves smoking an extremely tiny amount, waiting around 45–60 seconds, and only then deciding whether to take a little more. The idea is that this gradual approach helps you avoid being overwhelmed and may even allow for meaningful insights, rather than just chaos. I haven’t tried it yet — and honestly, I’m still on the fence. The good news is that Salvia keeps for years, so there’s no rush. . . Has anyone here tried this slow, ramp-up method with Salvia? Did it help you manage the experience? Did you find it insightful at lower doses? Would really appreciate hearing your thoughts or experiences.

Thank you all for your answers. I was addicted to weed, and I quit, so it's a no-go for me. Mushrooms deserve my respect, they are very powerful. And I will take a look at this shambhavi mahamudra technique

I live in a country where DMT and 5-MeO-DMT are illegal , and I spent a night behind the bars for trying to buy a few grams from an online source. I really wanted to experince it first hand. I want to know whether it is really possible to access Truth and realize God if without that "tool". Meditating your way to that realization does not seem to be realistic either. What would you suggest?

This is very strange. This smells like corruption, or devilry... - the temperatures melted metal, which requires temperatures higher than those generated by wildfires - police officers were blocking routes so people did not leave - sirens were not activated - assistance was non-existent - people were mislead into thinking that the fire was under control, when it was obviously not true

I am very confused, but at the same time I respect this doctor who has been very careful in the way he presents information, trying to be unbiased and objective (as much as possible). I share this for your own evaluation.

This matters are not only on the realm of philosophy and just searching for definitions. They are intertwined with emotions and survival. That is why if I open a thread called What is a chair?, maybe it wouldn't have so much participation (maybe I should try)...

@AtheisticNonduality Thank you for the nuanced approach you just shared

LOL I actually like the standard definition "adult human female", which is of course limited and debatable, just like any definition, but at least does not appeal to vague notions or circular definitions of , for example, "whoever that feels like a woman". HOWEVER, more important than defining it, my concern is the possibility of swinging the pendulum too much in the other direction, and in the name of compassion and not being tyrannical and respecting minorities' rights, we end up being tyrannical towards S.D. Stage Blue/Orange people (more than 50% of global population) that are just beginning to wrap their minds around these matters.

OK

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed and confused. All this is too complex
