@Thought Art I red somewhere that being bald makes your head appear to be more oval - feminine trait. Somehow If you have hair it creates contrast with your jawline and it is perceived to be less rounded. Solution is having a beard that will counteract that. I can't find any source, sorry. Good example: Despite steroids abuse he doesn't look aggressive or threatening at all.

@Mada_ L-theanine concentration in a green tea is almost negligible. Black tea has much higher concentration but it's still barely noticeable.

I have no idea. I'm living in Europe. Here it's really weird situation, because it's prescription drug and you aren't supposed to be able to buy it. You aren't supposed to pay any taxes when you import Armodafinil because it's exempted. I have no idea what would happen if it was checked by customs - I would have to give them prescription? It's not clear to me. I took half four times a week, sometimes more. If I take it too often it feels more and more dirty. It seems to be working but I'm becoming more anxious and less productive. Now I'm switching between different substances.

If I remember well I took 4 x 20 mg scoop at most. That seems to be a good dose. For some reason I don't see much difference between different nootropics anymore. They seem to be rather similar and each of them feels smooth. Only Armodafinil feels slightly dirty as it wears off. I also tested Noopepet - main difference is a short duration. Huperzine A is said to be good for lucid dreaming. Noopept might be even better. I had very vivid dreams when I took it ~four hours before falling asleep. I'm switching between a Huperzine, Armodafinil (or Modafinil) and Noopept to avoid side effect of overusing one substance. I also have some Sulbutiamine left so I will also use it from time to time.

80-100 ug plugged

In my experience carbs make me sleepy. When I'm doing keto I wake up fresh and I'm not sleepy after meals. I ate oatmeal two hours ago and feel terrible - sleepiness + brain fog.

Lol. Cucumber is not going to impress anyone. I can tell you that zucchini works so much better. Males on average are taller than females by 5 inches. It's enough if you are slightly taller, which is very likely if you are about average height.

Forum is becoming to big, I don't even have time to read topics. Most threads are polluted with low quality posts. I think this is a good idea. Maybe daily limit isn't perfect because sometimes response is needed. Maybe it would be better if anyone had "posting points. For example you would have 5-10 (maximum) and you would regain one point a day. This way it would be possible to have a conversation from time to time, but it would limit low quality posts. The issue with giving points for 'good posts' is that it would mostly promote drama content that we would rather want to avoid.

I had a stiff lower back. It didn't last very long.

When I was tripping on 5 MeO DMT it was clear to me that I can't increase my consciousness because it's complete. The only thing to be done is making my mind more whole so I am not 'asymmetrical' and this way I would be able to come back quicker to the God state. Having a proper mind structure would make a way from ordinary me to God shorter. Higher consciousness = short distance to God. Being asleep is being attached to some kind of asymmetry. Consciousness = perception. However if you use this word for ordinary life it will get flavoured. E: Oh. Higher consciousness could be also also experienced as increased speed of perception. If you aren't attached your perception is faster. It will also make you come back to the centre (God) quicker.

I mean that God perceives itself completely. It depends how you define consciousness.

I think that the term 'rising consciousness' is somewhat misleading. We already have infinite consciousness, so it's not really getting more of it. We can make our ego more whole that's all we can do. The issue is rather becoming attached to certain parts of the dream - which in turn create dreams within dreams - we want to look at the certain part of reality but refuse to look at the rest. 'Higher consciousness' would actually mean that we follow the flow of creation without having a break.

Limiting post count would be more effective. Five posts a day is plenty.

Time doesn't float, reality jumps from one frame to another. It's like shaking a kaleidoscope but there isn't anything between. You can look closer, this way time will slow down.

I took one 20 mg scoop of extract. I don't know how dense it is. Probably it's less than 200 ug, rather 50 to 100 ug at most. I will test it later. I combined it with my usual stack of supplements and nootropics including: l-theanine, alpha GPC, uridine and lion's mane After an hour I feel that my that my field of view and overall perception is very wide (spherical perception). I also have mild tinnitus.

Needless drama. You can't remove things from the internet easily.

I can only make assumptions if I don't talk about any specific person. People in general become less 'fresh' as they age. Unless they actively do something about that. I'm over thirty but people often assume that I'm 20 yo (sometimes that I'm still teenager..). This also works in an opposite direction. If a female is 20+ it's often hard to shake the feeling that she is older than me. I'm not interested in dating anyone. Everyone will be rejected equally!

This is one reason why I'm not interested in females my age. If you had bad experiences you become bitter. Than instead of looking at me how I really am, you assume who I am based on your previous experiences. I'm not interested in dealing with this kind of drama. It's extremely off-putting. (Plus I look at least 10 years younger so people my age look like my grandparents )

ALA has about 1% of conversion rate. Unfortunately it's not an alternative.

I usually take 4 capsules at once - each has 180 mg EPA, 120 DHA. I take it on before a meal or with a meal that doesn't have much omega 6. This way omega 3 should be absorbed better. It's 4000 mg of fish oil but capsules are on the lower side of EPA/DHA content. It is advised to take only one a day, but some other brand (same amount EPA and DHA) suggest taking two. Is that too much..?

I recently had my fourth breakthrough on 5 MeO DMT. I'm not counting previous unsuccessful attempts before vaping. I was barely able to convince myself to do that again - I guess mostly because of vaping. I noticed the longer the time between trips the more resistance. Every time just after tripping I would feel fine about doing it again. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't call it pleasant. It definitely wasn't a bad trip, I felt almost neutral about my experience. My thoughts during trip were along the lines: "I can't escape. There is only existence. I will always be where I am. There is no difference in structure between my life and what is happening now. Ordinary life is easier to handle because it's happening slowly. Now I can come back." Do you enjoy the moment of tripping? How many times it takes to really enjoy it? All of my LSD trips were pleasant but 5 MeO feels just too fast and overwhelming.

Ultimately there are no insights to gain. You can't experience lack of illusion and illusion at the same time - that's why you can't maintain nonduality. What happens is your really becomes less solid. Yes, I can experience 5 MeO DMT without using the substance. That's because this is just my excuse to experience God. It's suprisingly easy, I'm not advanced at all. I disbelieve and forget who I am, but each time I trip I'm getting closer and closer.

@Fearless_Bum I have to admit: I'm dumb I bought too much and shipping method is super slow, not a good deal. It will take probably a month or longer to receive it.

I'm definitely not satisfied, I dislike many things about my life situation. However I'm rather quite happy.

@DManKee I mostly listen to youtube too. I think main benefit from reading is developing focus - it's almost like meditation. I like audio format because I can listen while doing chores or riding a bike. Podcast format is more 'raw' than books and it can give better understanding what person really thinks. Conversations are really good in this regard. Books are lacking in nonverbal communication.
