Well, if you have mental health problems then stick with eg. breath counting or other similar concentration techniques. Those can be extremely helpful. Even relatively high doses are something you might be able to handle and still receive mainly benefits. I'd keep Vipassana to a minimum in your case since that will make mental health issues worse before it makes them better.

You can build up your imagination so much that you can create a realistic alligator in your room than you can completely see, travel to realms that are completely realistic with their own rules without sleeping or draw stuff in the air that other people who do a similiar practice in similiar doses can see and tell you information that you didnt tell them and they have no way of knowing it, Also you can make yourself have hyperreal dreams about things you want to happen and they will then happen in this reality. Do a multiweek kasina retreat where you spend all day doing it. Learn basic magick. Have fun.

Understanding, integrity, courage, sensible charitability, never falsely brag. Overplaying / underplaying your achievements is poison .. which comes down to being able to see that your emotions are not yourself. I'm not talking about suppressing them, just being the witness. A real man is prone to no self insight, being successful with women, making a nice living, being well read, .... (Having those things doesn't guarantee being a man, since he may have sacrificed his integrity to get there) And honest about areas where he sucks.

Yeah, I have been taking like 3 - 10 cloves of garlic with honey once every few months or so when I feel like something is going wrong or when I am sick and it makes a big difference. It also seems to reset tolerance to substances. Not completely, but noticeably.

Breakthrough doses need integration time. Smaller doses can be used multiple times a week. And they get stronger overtime as your understanding increases. If you feel like you're going off the rails then slow down.

If you spend as much time tripping as meditating the tripping will have way greater effect on baseline than the meditation. You should still meditate though. There are some things that are easier to get with meditation than any other way (cessation, which lead to a perma no self state).

You should learn about concurrent periodization. Try to get a copy of naturally enhanced. You will be surprised with how fast it's possible to progress even when you're very advanced, without any genetic talent or chemical help.

Personal record. Any small increase counts, since you're supposed to have them every workout. a) until first serious plateus it's basically free gains (2plate bench, 3 plate squat, 4 plate deadlift - if you're going with classical lifts) b) after that changing it up slightly is enough to almost never get stuck.

A compound one. The only important is that whenever you hit a plateau with an exercise you change it up to a very similar variant that is only slightly different. You should have at least a few in the bag. Over time you'll learn how to find your weak spots.. That way you never plateu, because exercises carryover. You should hit a small PR every exercise / every time you lift. Doesn't matter if it's reps or weight.

Nah, the indoctrination integrates the perspectives before. If the one indoctrinating you is truly the stage. So you learn the lessons before faster. But it will temporarily crumble when you hit a wall based on lower stages not yet integrated (for example when you want to do spirituality full time but you need money first and having a lot of money requires a lot of discipline in most cases). So in that case to get back to green you'd solve orange through blue and then you'd be able to do a lot more of higher stage stuff. Maybe before you were able to do it because of living with parents. The model is interlinked with Maslow's hierarchy but different and more complex.

I mean, there are people take it from a well / spring. There are maps of the purest water sources online. But that would be going way overboard-paranoid-hippie with it. Reverse osmosis is the middle ground.

Mainstream Buddhism beats mainstream Christianity. Christianity teaches object / subject collapse too. Subject / object collapse is always about the three characteristics, even if the three characteristics are not talked about in the same words. Every tradition has a magick aspect. It's just that modern Christian magick sucks. Buddhist magick is based on heavy concentration-vizualization techniques.

I mean the mystical core of Christianity goes extremely deep too. It's about finding the first cause. And they have pretty good contemplation techniques. Some of the historical Christian mystics were likely God realized sober. Of course the Church stuff is 99% nonsense.

Yeah, that's Buddhism. So a very good axis of spiritual development. Suffering is impermanent and not self. There's subtle suffering in everything.

If you really want to know a) weigh yourself everyday for months b) count your calories c) find out what's easiest to digest for you (for some it's keto, for others vegan, for me personally anything that aligns with this https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/food-combining#TOC_TITLE_HDR_2 works well) Likely you'll find out that the number is well within the range, maybe not. Most of the time people can't really guess how many calories they're consuming.

After a few months of doing eg. 30m, 5x a week a) the body load might largely disappear b) there will be more of a consciousness increase c) it will become a useful tool for contemplation You should do a breath hold at the end of the 30m session. That's stronger than both holotropic breathing and wim Hof. If you do the breath hold sooner that wouldn't be strong enough. If you take tolerance breaks (for me, tolerance builds up) it will be getting stronger and stronger over time. You should also incorporate long sessions from time to time and maybe mix it with a small dose of a psychadelic.

3 days, all day concentration (kasina) + 2 days dry fasting, 1 day water fast. You will wish it was weaker.

I have done it by using a combination of a) kasina (read Daniel Ingrams & Shannon Tates fire kasina book), do a retreat (weeks, 6 - 20 hours a day) b) The Phase book (only the techniques, his understanding is far from complete) c) Witchcraft - I created a servitor to help me with it (read Advanced Magick for Begginers by Alan Chapman) and done other techniques.

Dream yoga, when taken far enough, can make you realize there is no distinction between nightly dreams and awake dreams. You can experience shared dreams (I have done that), dreams that can give you enough information to write a book in a single day (I have not done that), information you dont have access to, literally visit and verify places (I have done that), heal people (I havent done that), emulate psychadelic experiences (I have done that), once you stabilize it enough hours of extra time (I have done that). At the end of dream yoga, dreams are sometimes reported to dissapear altogether.

Thanks for clarifying. It is still interesting what high doses of concentration can do to sexual identity (I'm talking hundreds of hours in weeks). I could provide a link to another meditation forum, if that wouldn't be against the rules in this specific context, for research. Whether that's could be explained as being more sensitive to the changes the chemicals causes or exploring mor of your own psychology or both is also a thing. Also, less people nowadays give a f* about reproduction whether straight or gay or whatever which might be bad for civilization but let's be real, most people care about their own life not civilization.

Yeah, there might be some correlation between these chemicals and gayness. Doesn't really mean that it's bad. Bad is what has negative consequences for the individual. Gayness is neither right nor wrong. Calling it bad is completely arbitrary. Even trans suicides are mostly caused by shitty social situation with mental health playing into it depending on the specific individual. Of course if detoxing suddenly turned people heterosexual it might be worth considering. I'd still say other benefits of removing these chemicals from your system dramatically outweigh any gender identity / sexuality stuff. Interesting fact: concentration meditation in very high doses has been consistently reported to do weird gender identity stuff too.

Trash, Thoughts, Emotions, You, Everything, Devilry, Meth, DMT, Jesus Christ, Nothing Now try to list all the names of not-God....

I think the benefits are the same as with fasting. Both abstaining from food or sexual activity for a time period gives me the same benefits. And the rebound is the same too (with fasting it is harder to digest food for a while, giving you the food equivalent of POIS. If I abstain from sexual activity for days /weeks I get POIS too. If I have any type of sexual activity frequently I dont have ANY POIS. Same with food.) a) women get automatically attracted with both fasting and retention b) manifestation is way easier c) meditation is way easier I am almost certain that it is about self mastery (not some magic seed) and the attraction is because women can intuit it from micro behavior. That is why fasting can have the magical pussy magnet effect too. The reason why manifestation works so well after a certain period is that it builds your will. The closer your will is to Will the better it works.

Chimping doesn't ever completely stop. No matter how awake or actualized a person is. A hermit working on awakening is just a very conscious lone chimp. The Saints are just piles of meat. Let's try to practice honesty about our own chimping

Yeah, makes sense. More money = more money for now & more money to invest. In his country 600$ is now enough to live. Assuming it will be something like 2000$ in 30 years 160000/2000/12 means 6.66 years of retirement.
