I don’t think there will be any religious dogma again as totalitarian as Christianity was historically. There is too much information available and awareness of competing systems.

It does. Shinzen Young says that because of his meditation he was able to understand and teach himself mathematics and science. He says the greater focus ability of a meditator can be used to understand mathematics.

I don’t take LSD or MDMA for that very reason. I only take natural substances , mostly from plants, or Bufo from the toad. The plants are part of our evolutionary history. The plants are our ancestors. We have similar biologies that work together. Substances like ayahuasca have an incredibly powerful effect without doing harm or becoming addictive. I have talked to people who have been screwed up by taking MDMA.

Vernon Howard was a good spiritual teacher. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeV8ZS9nhis

I go to ceremonies in Mexico and find them invaluable. The medicines are part of the culture of Mexico, and they understand them. I would never do a ceremony In the US, where it is not part of the culture. The ceremonies are conducted by real shamen interested in healing and not profit. I get as much medicine as I need. On my last niños santos (mushroom) ceremony, I took 6 grams. I have worked with ayahuasca, yopo, san pedro, niños santos, kambo, and bufo alvarius. The most valuable part is healing as a group during a ceremony, and meeting new friends face to face who are on the same path. I am not an incel and anonymous interactions in a virtual world does nothing for me.

When Covid-19 cases hit Brazil, the government ordered civilians to leave the Indigenous reservations. Many missionaries refused to leave and had to be ejected with a lawsuit. https://www.ncronline.org/news/earthbeat/missionaries-gain-access-amazons-indigenous-peoples-despite-pandemic The missionaries are also aggressively attempting to contact uncontacted tribes even though one case of Covid, or any of the other industrial society diseases could wipe out the whole tribe. “In a landmark ruling, a Brazilian judge has blocked evangelical missionaries from making contact with uncontacted tribes in the Javari Valley, home to the greatest concentration of such peoples anywhere on Earth. The judge stated in his ruling that “Uncontacted Indians are especially vulnerable… To make contact with them is hugely risky.” “ “Uncontacted tribes are the most vulnerable peoples on the planet. Whole populations have been wiped out by diseases like the flu and measles to which they have no resistance, so attempting to contact such peoples during the coronavirus pandemic would almost certainly have been a death sentence for many.” https://www.survivalinternational.org/news/12377 The missionaries not only endanger lives, but destroy the natural spirituality of the people. There are reports that they actually compete to be the first person to contact a tribe, purely for the ego glory. Then when the missionaries are through, the land grabbers come in to take the land. “I’m not the only one who agrees with this sentiment. In the words of Kenyan activist Jomo Kenyatta: “When the Missionaries arrived, the Africans had the land and the Missionaries had the Bible. They taught how to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land and we had the Bible.” https://aninjusticemag.com/missionaries-are-evil-b8228a8c5ab The indigenous leaders want the community to be left alone. “In the meeting hall, Eliesio Marubo listened as the Indigenous leaders spoke, years of frustration pouring out. “The missionaries search for young people and corrupt them with their ideas,” said the representative of the Matses people. “When the missionaries wanted to enter our villages, we told them we wouldn’t change our culture,” said the Kanarami representative. “It would be better if they stayed in the cities,” said another leader.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/10/31/brazil-amazon-christian-missionary/

In my opinion, the real problem is the absolute greed and lust for power of the controlling hierarchy. If you follow the figures you will see that during this “pandemic” the wealth has continued to concentrate into a smaller number of hands. People are being divided into groups and given reasons to fight each other by the mass media, which distracts everyone from the concentration of wealth and power achieved through financial manipulation, not productivity.

I don’t think it is something you can plan for. It is the opposite of control. I recently had an ego death on Ayahuasca, after numerous ceremonies. The medicine just decided to take me there. It was unexpected, terrifying, and beautiful.

I have never smoked DMT (except for Bufo), but I have done Yopo once, which is a Peruvian snuff containinng DMT that they blow up your nose. The shaman calls it the “abuelo” (the grandfather), in contrast to ayahuasca which is the grandmother. I remember it lasting for about 45 minutes.

That’s why I advocate using these medicines only under the guidance of a shaman and in ceremony. A screwdriver is also trauma inducing if you stick it in your ear, but is empowering if you use it for its proper purpose. These are medicines and not drugs. Also, not discussed here is the issue of detoxification. In the Amazon, they have power plants that detoxify your body and mind of negativity and poisons. You do this while on a plant diet which is part of the detoxification. This is done before taking a vision plant like ayahausca, so the visions will be true, rather then further feeding the false self. I take sananga eye drops before ayahauasca to clear the third eye.

I personally think the indigeneous people were the closest to the truth, but they were brutally repressed and in many cases exterminated by the Christian cultists. Pachamama is worthy of worship.

I agree with the above posts that the most likely explanation is that powerful groups were getting a lot of dislikes. It shows that power is sensitive to even something as mild as a dislike and illustrates the importance of freedom of speech.

The shawoman who guides me on my Bufo Alvarius journeys takes the medicine after giving it to me and goes on the trip with me. She does this with everyone and has been doing it for years. She is also one of the most alert and sane people I have ever met.

The existence of a rock is as much a miracle as the existence of a human.

A profoundly beautiful song for healing under the medicine.

Nobody said anything about telepathy. There are ways of communication.

A shaman in Mexico once told me how they extract the medicine. The toad is asked permission to take the medicine and then it is given a massage to relax it. If the toad is nervous it can excrete additional toxins into the 5meo and you don’t have a pure substance. In other words, there are skills you need to learn. I am personally am not in favor of pets and think animals should be living in their natural habitat.

I go to a local Salsa nightclub that offers free dance lessons. Get in free. Plenty of women.

The most important part of the crucifixion was when Jesus said “My, God, My God, Why Hast Thou Foresaken Me?” revealing his inner state of complete disconnection from God at the moment he took on the sins of the world. The meaning of this was revealed to me on a 5meo trip.

I stopped cannabis because it kept me stuck in a paranoid space and didn’t have the power to push me beyond. It also interfered with ayahuasca, which is so much better for healing and mind expansion.

I have found all the nutritional books out there very frustrating and contradictory. This isn’t science. As the title of this thread suggests, if it was science, there would be one answer. My strategy is to eat a balanced meal and don’t eat too much. My hunch is that the extremist diets are wrong because our bodies evolved to survive by eating from a variety of food sources.

"However, by releasing large amounts of serotonin, MDMA causes the brain to become significantly depleted of this important neurotransmitter, contributing to the negative psychological aftereffects that people may experience for several days after taking MDMA." https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/mdma-ecstasy-abuse/what-are-mdmas-effects-on-brain

I knew a man at an ayahuasca ceremony, he was taking MDMA, and he couldn’t get into the aya trip, no matter what the shaman did. He told me not to take it because you crash the next day. The bliss seems to come with a price.
