    Well, I would say you were a diamond in the rough and then you polished yourself up.

    It being received by God for free is understanding how it works.

    The magician himself doesn't actually decide which spell works. But he can get 1:1 with the thing that actually does the magick.

    Just deepened this insight.

    Tbh if you feel great and appear normal to people you know in real life (text-only forum interactions dont count) I would not use antipsychotics. 

    You should read/watch videos about the EPRC (Daniel Ingram, he is a doctor, so you should take his opinion more seriously than my post or posts by other forum members) so you understand how this kind of medicine is overprescribed for people with spiritual experiences.

    Ultimately the decision is up to you, I am just sharing what I would do in a similiar situation.

    Anybody who has ever taken a psychadelic that would describe their experience and conclusions to a psychiatrist would be at risk of a psychosis misdiagnosis.

    From what I understand it’s just like the opening set of ME day on Conjugate (<5% of the Conjugate program’s total volume), but that’s all you do, and you do it every day (or almost every day) instead of twice a week. Not super balanced, but it definitely works very well in phases brief enough (7 days to 14 days max) to circumvent the immense detraining that will ensue after 3-5 weeks or so.

    It can break plateaus, but on conjugate that’s a moot point because plateaus technically aren’t possible on that program, since any time a stall happens, you swap that exercise for a detrained exercise so that the focus becomes the low hanging fruit of detrained muscle fibers, while the overworked fibers recover. That is, unless you’re cutting fat so quickly that a plateau/stall is guaranteed — though even then you can still make progress or maintain on exercises, since they’re never allowed to get too far from detrained status, but if cutting quickly enough, the best you can hope for on any program is controlled reversal of progressive overload on exercises positively affected mechanically by bodyfat itself (mainly pressing), and maintenance on exercises that aren’t negatively affected by bodyfat loss itself (particularly hip hinges). But a calorie deficit wouldn’t be the time to do Bulgarian lite anyway.

    So I would strongly recommend against doing Bulgarian lite for more than 14 days.

    I am not that familiar with Conjugate but Bulgarian lite is basically:

    choose an exercise that is does not put too much strain on the lower back (eg. RDL instead of DL) -> do a few warmup sets, one all out set (does not matter if its 1 RM or 10 RM) -> increase weight or reps the next day -> do that until you plateau, which typically takes 1 - 2 weeks -> either do a slightly different variation of the exercise you have done before (like RDLs with bands+weight after normal RDLs) or a different exercise altogether -> repeat.

    No, you wont overtrain if you are in not calorie deficit and listen to your body. And yes, you can do it year round without risking injury.

    I have done it for a year straight with zero side effects.  And more gains on all my pulls, pushes and leg work that on any other program ever in my life. Size gains were pretty impressive too.

    But deciding what exercise you are going to do next definitely requires a lot of planning compared to more conventional programs.

    The key to making it work is

    a) dont be in a deficit

    b) listen to your body

    c) switch up slight variations

    d) dont forget to target all muscles year round.

    Changing the exercise every time you get stuck. Typically 1 - 2 weeks for me. 

    During that year I experienced close to zero plateaus despite already being past intermediate.

    I am aware of various such practices. But I still don't believe that they will work for everyone who does them. Not even for most people.

    Yes, training plays a role. But you can easily verify what I am telling you by asking a handful of psychics how they got their abilities. They themselves will tell you that they had them from a young age without training. They will even tell you that their abilities were like a curse, a burden.

    I went from being mediocre at this stuff (only stuff like chance manipulation and divination etc) to being able to induce straight up group "hallucinations" at the peak of a retreat.

    I have had some slight abilities since young (which did intensify to an uncomfortable extent after a spontaneous awakening five years ago). But never anything like this.

    You are not going to have psychic abilities without the proper rare genetics.

    Trust me on this one. I've done a lot of spiritual practice and development. It hasn't given me psychic abilities. Almost all psychics are born with the ability. A normie is not just going to develop psychic abilities with some meditation or the like. This is why gurus with psychic or mystical powers have traditionally been worshiped as gods. They are genetic freaks with super-human capacities which normies will never have.

    I recommend you quickly skim through the following free book to get an idea of how training specifically for these abilities looks like: https://firekasina.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/the-fire-kasina.pdf         

    I doubt you have done vizualization-concentration in a high enough dose.

    This kind of practice got me to experience shared psychic experiences.

    I'm not saying it's inherent to magick, I'm just saying that if you start making things float you could easily convince people that you're a prophet or something.

    Oh, sorry for my misinterpretation.

    I thought you were calling me delusional.

    Well, I can't make things float yet but you're right that would make for an easy cult creation.:D 

    Even something simple like teaching people how to astral project after they haven't had luck on their own somehow causes them to listen to my opinion a bit too much.

    The average christian does not pray, meditate (chtistianity has this too), read the bible, go to church... What does one need more of a proof that they are not serious. Right?

    That's literally about nothing compared to what true Christian mystics do.

    Presence training, all day different kinds of contemplation, physical exercises like fasting. Everything in similar doses like you'd see in a Zen monastery.

    As I said previously - serious Christianity can lead to omniscience.

    Going to church, reading the Bible every morning and praying for less than an hour a day will do literally nothing to get you closer to God union.

    That's as absurd as thinking that meditating for less than an hour a day can lead far.

    ----

    Combine that with all the dogma they accumulate by not contemplating the texts seriously and you have a recipe for crippled metaphysical understanding.

    A gay character in a book has nothing to do with teaching gender fluidity.

    Banning that is just weird. Come on, this kind of bitching about "the gay" should be done only by middle schoolers or people with slow ego development. Not by a serious politician.

    Yeah, some progressives go too far and try to tell children that they can just choose their gender like they'd choose a shirt but that's not the majority.

    If you guys want to try something weird that can be easily misperceived as just new age nonsense but can literally cut down your sleep need by a few hours, make you feel very vital and full of energy and literally multiply your vizualization ability while altering your perception of time. 

    Don't believe / try it out yourself / do your own research. Just don't blindly reject it like a dumbKant because it's unconventional.

    - food combinatorics (eg no starches with meat etc - Google is your best friend - the point is to make your digestion as easy as it's on more restrictive diets (like meat only or vegan). This alone makes a huge difference. An example of what you might eat during the day:

    breakfast: fruit only, maybe some honey, lunch: meat, eggs, vegetables, dinner: beans + another slow carb source

    Ofc you have to make sure you get enough calories.

    - no dairy and no gluten (try it even if you don't test for allergies)

    - coffee enemas (most people have parasites they don't know about, this will pull them out)

    - bee pollen

    - high dose vitamin D

    - adaptogens (like ashwagandha, rhodiola rosea, gotu kola and many others). I would choose at least 3 and use them every day. The effects compound over time.

    - Mucuna puriens

    - vitamin k2 high dose

    - iodine

    - organic tumeric and organic black pepper consumed with a meal containing fats

    - food grade diatomaceous earth 

    - bentonite clay 

    - activated charcoal 

    - methyl b 12

    - magnesium 

    - zinc

    @Michal__ I feel like this is against the point of what I am trying to achieve. I am not loosing wakefulness that much because I sit with my back straight and eyes open (and because it's painful as fuck). Being completely still for longer periods of time definitely puts you into a special state of mind. I will aim to be able to sit perfectly still for 3 hours by the end of those 90 days and right now I will try to move as little as possible. I want to do a session without getting up even once today.

    You do you.

    Keep in mind you should be GAINING wakefulness. Not just maintaining.

    After the first hour you should feel like you're on modafinil.
