That's your interpretation. I was sharing my experience, knowing very well how most here would interpret it.

Lol, I am not going to show off just for you. Whether you believe me or not doesn't interest me.

Honestly, I've noticed this too. I don't see it as God being on my side, but rather that my will is much stronger than most people's, so if someone wrongs me and I wish bad things on them, then that's what happens. Eventually it got so crazy that I couldn't ignore it anymore and I realized I have to be very careful about what I wish on others. Do you really want others to get sick or worse just because they hurt your feelings or whatever? Jesus said love your enemies and bless those who hurt you. That's good advice in this case, in my opinion.

Lol If I remember correctly, I googled a website that does this. But let's not derail this thread any further now

No, you can have that too. There are no really cool privileges for mods.

Of course, I don't deny that they can be helpful. However, I observe that most people blindly trust them and end up disappointed. I have worked closely with many psychiatrists and therapists and it was an eye-opener for me. None of them were conscious people, they are trapped in the academic world and see people only as their work. I think someone like you is better off trusting only in themselves. That doesn't mean that you can still get help from others. Yeah I would sign that!

Yes, I agree. But in the long run, the price you have to pay for this is too high in my opinion. That's why I said you should keep looking for better, healthier long-term solutions. And while you're at it, you can keep taking your medications. What I was mainly trying to say is that you shouldn't blindly trust your doctor on this matter. He doesn't really care about you... and he wouldn't give his own children this stuff every day, I can assure you.

Ahaha I feel you brother !! Although I would choose my first LSD trip, deep in the forest with my best friends. @r0ckyreed My two cents: When it comes to shrooms, an empty stomach is a must! For me, that means eating a light breakfast and maybe a few snacks throughout the day (if I eat them in the evening), but nothing at all at least 4 hours beforehand.

I have researched this topic extensively and therefore have strong opinions on it, but remember that this is just my opinion. In my view, ADHD does not exist and any mental health diagnosis is just there for the doctor to bill. Yes, many people have trouble focusing on tasks they don't want to do, but that just means you don't fit into this sick world we have created. However, I understand that most people want or need to fit in to some degree so they can achieve the goals they have set for themselves. ADHD medication can be very helpful in this, but is by no means the solution to your problem. Taking this stuff every day like a robot just because the doctor prescribed it is foolish. I think it's best to take it a maximum of 3 days a week (less is better) and on those days you can get all the work done that you normally wouldn't be able to do. And on the days you don't take it, look for ways to build a life where you don't depend on any substances to function and be happy.

That's what I actually mean by forgiveness. Observing as loving awareness until your worries disappear. And yes, after that you can still make some changes if you want to.

Forgiveness, brother. Let it wash over you like a wave and forget the past.

When used like other psychedelics, cannabis is a great tool for spiritual work. But it is very tricky because it can easily be abused and then used unconsciously. Once it becomes a habit, it blocks your spiritual growth, so you have to be very disciplined with it. That is my experience anyway...

You are already insane brother, psychedelics just might make you go sane

Love it. Do you know the artist?

Dr. Raj, basically a legal drug dealer, gets almost the whole town addicted to opioids.

I like Hawkins too. Maybe there is nothing novel about Ralston's work, but it was interesting for me to get a glimpse into his mind. As I said you can sense that he is a authentic freak. I've read the short version and worked on the practical part but then I got distracted by other books. Now I'll pick it up again, thanks!

@bambi I have read 4 of Ralston's books. He gives you a complete system to have enlightenment experiences and transform yourself afterward. You will have lots of interesting topics to contemplate. I think the beauty of his work is firstly that he is a master communicator. I have learned a lot from the way he uses language. Secondly, his work is completely free of spiritual or religious frames, like it is very authentic and clean, I don't really know how to describe it. I have never really been into Zen but I think it is like Zen Buddhism without Buddhism. His books were some of the first I read on consciousness work and I would say it was a good introduction. If you are already advanced and have found a path that works for you then I would recommend to just read Zen Body-Being and The Genius of Being.

In my opinion, the best thing to do would be to use any psychedelic tools you can get your hands on, as they all offer different approaches to healing. It's also good to look into IFS therapy a bit. You can combine the technique with psychedelics, it's very effective. And I've also found it helpful to use ketamine the day after a strong psychedelic experience to process everything more smoothly.

I would recommend waiting a few more years before 5-meo and trying gentler psychedelics like mushrooms or LSD in the meantime.

One of my favorite youtube channles. Check it out

@James123 I am curious, how often did you take high doses? Like every week? more?

When someone has experienced a lot of trauma, they often have developed many defense mechanisms against reality. For some people, it may take many trips and very high doses to break through these barriers. Stan Grof has researched this quite well and written some good books about it if you're interested.

If you want to get your first breakthrough, then I would recommend a trip sitter. But if you've already had breakthroughs on other psychedelics, you'll usually be fine on your own.

Most profound movie I watched on psychedelics was Samsara. Many years ago and I still get flashbacks from some scenes. Mind blowing movie…

@Jodistrict Sounds great! Definitely worth to learn from a pro how to use this plant. It’s not like LSD or mushrooms at all imo.
