Thanks, you are right. I've put up some space and asked to change the subject since she brought it up. I'm going to just be a positive and helpful friend but if she brings this up I'm going to say that it's draining and I don't wanna talk about it with her.

I think this is why it's much better and safer for integration/healing work. I think the psychadelic headspace can really mess some people up if they are trying to heal PTSD. I've done MDMA a few times when I was in college and it is a gift.

I think this conversation is kinda silly cause it's plainly obvious psychadelics are super effective at growing consciousness and aiding in spiritual growth and realization. If anything it should be about how they are so powerful that they can be dangerous. One DMT trip altered me permanently and I still feel it a little today... I can meditate much deeper and have much more lucid dreams and psychadelic experience when waking up from sleep. Didn't have this before DMT. They def can leave your mind expanded more quickly than meditating for an hour a day daily.

A guy on facebook for me who is super into Ayahuasca and the dualism new agey stuff around it is deep into Qanon.

I could care less getting involved in the nerd wars over whose guru is more awake and who has the better path to becoming boundless. All I know, from my own direct experience, is that these substances have helped grow me quite a bit and make me a more authentic and compassionate person and I've been told from several other people they have had the same experience so they obviously play their role and part of god's grand design for a reason.

lets not pull another 2016 though. republicans can still win this through their awful voter suppression tactics and just poor dem turn out.

no we get a ton of threads about guys asking if they should try nofap so i went into autopilot after reading the title

wut dude is handling this like some sort of mafia extortion scheme

Try it for yourself and see what works for you. some swear by it, others think it is tomfoolery.

I could be totally ignorant since I've only done Ayahuasca a few times but all the shaman stuff is stage purple world views and paradigms built around psychadelic experience. We have come a long way since then and there are far better ways to trip than in the goddamn jungle throwing up into plastic pales and 2 hours away from a hospital if something goes wrong. No... You don't need a shaman to protect you from dark spirits. There isn't some specific way you are supposed to trip. There are dozens of lineages behind this medicine and they all can't agree on how the ceremony is to be performed. There isn't even one specific recipe that constitutes ayahuascs. There are several and its brewed differently by many. What you need is a very safe set and proper setting with proper delineation if you are drinking with others. You also should probably know what you're getting yourself into... this shit is intense and can get super dark and the integration process after can be really hard. I would make sure you have a plan to integrate the experience before you do it and someone to watch you not on the medicine to make sure everything goes safe. A person that is experienced at facilitating. Be prepared to throw up a bunch. You need to prepare your stomach before drinking. It sounds like you have a whole lot of research to do.

I thought for a moment this was going to be about justifying child labor like back around how it was during the turn of the century

Yeah I do agree. I was just pointing out this aspect of wisdom from what he was saying, it's useful for safe and productive psychedelic use. I don't think he is correct otherwise and have yet to see anyone have a brain tumor caused by psychedelics.

He does make a good point though that I think is better worded for many people through holistic, transpersonal and trauma informed, Psychedelic informed psychology, etc. Taking too much psychedelics can cause a skewing of sorts and cause someone to lose their reference point and grounding. What follows is delusion, mental illness and often times emotional problems until it is grounded out.

how did Nazi stuff get into prison gangs that don't seem to have any original connection? is it just a case of low vibration attracting low vibration?

yeah you're right... “you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink” I suppose it just hurts cause I don't wanna see them get hurt again. It also feels like it distances my friendship with them since I'm wanting to build more deeper and healthy friendships and someone who seems to be at a place that isn't really at the same vibe where am at makes me feel less close to them.

this is one of those "and nothing of value was lost meme" situations

A lot of media and entertainment is red inspired. I think as people we lived in red societies for such a long time that this animalistic way of being is a little bit encoded into our psyche. Nothing wrong with that. Its kinda cool how we have develoed so much that we can express our red sides through arts, entertainment and imagination instead of it being what's running the show and keeping humanity in the dark ages. I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the thrills of Game of Thrones, the action in the new Doom video game or the ocassional pump up from the latest viral rap song.

no such thing as eternal hell or eternal damnation. relative finite hell, sure. it's what one makes of it... and such that we have before with war. why spend time imaging what could exist and look at what has to realize it's what we choose to create, hell or heaven, war or peace, our choice.

stage red you play as a goose and basically terrorize a town

I remember that and it's a fair example but I think such incidents are more of an outlier than the noraml. Another example might be Aziz Ansari but he spoke on it and said if what happened made him and others more concious then he is glad it happened the way it did. The only time I've seen large groups of people complaining about cancel culture going too far is on conservative social media as a dogwhistle buzzword for "I don't think that person who was caught on video verbally abusing someone with racist and abusive slurs should of been fired from their job."

I would really like some solid examples of cancel culture going too far. This has really become a buzzword with precious little to back it up.

thanks!

I think a lot of benefit you get from nofap can be reached through something else. I think the aspect of disciple and delaying quick gratification can be a great form of self love. Perhaps start lifting heavy weights and get into amazing shape? cut out most junk food and sugar?
