There is 100% chance of failing if you do nothing and a 0% chance of success if you do nothing

Take seriously the development of your common place book. Develop meaningful pages, collections, lists, resources, contemplations, touch stones, collections, link trees, etc Develop the joy of reading your notes, reviewing collections, and pruning/ organizing the commonplace book.

When you begin developing a self reflective, contemplative life style you must be willing to brave the pain of: 1. Shame 2. Guilt 3. Embarrassment These are healthy emotions when felt and dealt with consciously. Prior to contemplation we live in such a way full of blind spots, assumptions, bad habits, ignorance, wrong thinking, traps which we had not noticed. Upon realization of these apparent short comings it’s only natural to feel negative emotions. These emotions are part of your inherent intelligence and should be dealt with in a self compassionate and mindful way. Do not let these emotions limit you, do not let realizing short comings limit you. Push through, go at a pace, take breaks if you need but keep developing your awareness. Develop mastery. Develop powerful systems for living. Have a refresh rate with you models of reality and systems for living and update them on a regular basis. Contemplation, reflection, correction, and embodied improvement is the process of maturity and mastery.

@Hardkill Yeah but you are just socializing.

@Sempiternity 5MeoDPT is not DPT

Omg any guys can get a girl

Hard to change the world when you can’t even make your own damn bed.

@maxpechura This is true. But, we can learn to use the stress of life to make us stronger. There are books on this.

@OBEler Yeah sure. I admit I thought it was very funny to Rhyme strain with brain. I can easily overlook the tone of voice doesn’t carry well on a forum. I generally am very serious about these substances. It is true that these substances strain your brain and mind. This is why taking time to integrate and to go slow is important. These substances affect us all differently. They tend to strain the brain though regardless.

@Leo Gura He explained it in an interview. This expands on the model, and helps to clarify things. I enjoy his take on Big Wholeness.

I do think that if you don’t have already some kind of knowledge of things like spiral dynamics this book has sections that may be difficult to understand. I do appreciate his use of repeating himself. Often multiple times in the same paragraph. The book at times feels a big jumbled. I would like more… tables and visuals especially early on. Overall, it’s a joy to read. I’ve read nearly have of his book religion of tomorrow. I like this book. Hopefully it encourages me to dive I to his works. I’d like to ready integral psychology and integral spirituality as well. I like his take on Big Wholeness, and I’m interested in his take on Tantric Sex. Haven’t gotten there yet.

Psychedelics strain the brain

The fact that 5meodmt only lasts like 25 minutes or an hour makes it the best psychedelic for me. I rarely wanna trip for more than that, and if I do I can just take another hit

It’s good to have a healthy fear of psychedelics

I look in the mirror

Oh yea

@Yimpa Interesting. I don’t think they affected my physical health in that way. I also don’t use them that frequently and I live a generally healthy and active lifestyle. They have grown me in such profound ways. Them, in combination with manual spiritual and personal development.
