Probably best not to do that, unless you're absolutely sure how higher dimensional entities operate. Much better to practice a routine on your own terms. If there happens to be an entity that wants to help you then and there, then you'll be focused on receiving exactly what you need for your specific goal.

I don't think you can physically exist as a human without an ego.

Definitely removes mental blocks which decrease intelligence. Personally out of the box thinking got a major boost. Unfortunately no improvement in mental arithmetic though

1) will fix itself if you solve 2. Your brain is hardwired to be good at socializing if not bogged down. 2) very effective but highly dependent on your pain tolerance. I did that for 2+ years straight once every 2 weeks (LSD preferred). Works wonders, I'm a changed man, but was the hardest 2 years of my life, gets especially bad in the beginning and is like running a marathon through a volcano. Feels like the most direct, fastest method but riskiest.. if you've already done 10+ trip you should know what that's all about. At first I just tried to remember all of my bad memories and tell myself that I choose to let go of the attachment for the whole 8 hours. After doing that for enough trips, I intuitively figured out the mechanism behind how my brain releases blocks and can 'see' energetic blocks and remove them just by focusing on them. Feels like it's capability that all humans can develop with psychedelics but that's just speculation. 3) also if do 2. That's part of your shadow. 4) I take modafinil everyday (probably not healthy) and it makes me painfully aware of my shortcomings even on great days. Keeps me motivated

Shadow work is great. It's the least pleasant aspect of spirituality but you can eliminate all your traumas and beliefs that prevent you from feeling good and seeing the world the way is is.

When I read your scenario, it didn't even occur to me that it's because of your looks. Might be, might be something else. I don't have that same insecurity but get rid of mine by bringing up all the associated feelings and letting them pass. That's sitting cross legged and with my eyes closed for 45-60 min.

You could be selfless, ie have a burning ambition to change the world for the betterment of humanity. Of course humanity is more important than personal relationships That's probably the case for non-duality stuff but spirituality also includes going in the opposite direction and connecting to the earth + aligning your primal energies. In other words, by awakening your root chakra, you should develop a connection to the part of God that spent eons perfecting getting laid. That's one way of naturally improving charisma. The vast majority of men don't systematically work on this so it should put you at least in the top 1%

7. Had a bad trip as expected. I think it's only productive after developing a dissolved ego even while sober.

LSD unlike shrooms provides a lot of freedom. Unless you clear your mind and press God/universe for answers you might not get em

That's surprising.. wouldn't this get in the way of processing all the information coming in? given that nn dmt is especially visual

Even if the perfect dictator were to exist, I don't think that would actually work because it's not possible to actually know what the best policies are without seeing into the future. As a result, factions would form around major ideas and insist that they should be in charge. The dictator would then have to brutally suppress them (that's the only way to remain in power), of course with the best of intentions. This would already lead to lesser freedoms than in America like press freedom and free speech. In contrast, a democracy can remain stable because there's always the promise that you can boot the current leader out if the majority wants someone else. In a fair election, factions that lost the election wouldn't have the legitimacy to stage an uprising.

Do you think this is because of blockages; so once you release them all then it would be safe to get a kundalini awakening?

I'm thinking of trying these for the first time but use modafinil almost everyday. Is it dangerous to mix them? and if so how much time between my last modafinil dose can I use the 5 meo's? If anyone has experience mixing them, I'll be interested in knowing how it affected the trip.

You sure? There's so much to learn from TV about psychology, human interaction and art. TV resonates with people for a reason and has a lot to do with the collective subconscious and archetypes. The problem is watching TV with a numb mind

I'm all for it. There could be a system where people could upvote sources so they know which ones are legit. Would be especially useful for things like modafinil and research chems.. also for travelling to Canada to take 5meo (where it's legal), people should know beforehand that their source is trustworthy. Should ultimately be up to Leo's lawyer if he wants to make that a part of the forum

I think it's much less about how smart you are and more about your thought process. Embracing stage yellow as much as possible would be useful because it'll let you develop models in areas like: - emotions - human psychology (self and other) - cause and effect - sociology - how society works Every time you make a 'stupid' decision - you could go back and update your model. So for example if your emotions get the better of you, then you could better realize the deceptiveness of emotion and be better able to detect it next time. Hope this helps

Yeah people need a theoretical understanding of what to expect ie a roadmap, before delving deep into it. Otherwise they'll fall into common ego traps

I think while turquoise understands concepts like oneness and nothingness, they basically still function as individual humans on earth experiencing what earth is all about. I could see a coral interact with higher dimensions, entities, possibly aliens and consciously set events into motion based on what the universe/souls/God want to get out of physical existence. So kind of like an agent or a moderator. Likely have also developed siddhis. Quite badass in my opinion. In either case, they'd probably masquerade as an orange or green not to arouse too much suspicion. Probably unless you're high turquoise you wouldn't detect them.

Seconded, this work directly processes parts of your subconscious and makes lasting changes. Personally, I go in with the intention of gently reasserting my will over my psyche, since every part of your subconscious was created by yourself in the past, and that your intent can be applied to make whatever change that you see fit. So it works by diving into body sensations, bringing up memories along the way if possible, and through an uncomfortable process understanding your shadow side yet disagreeing - i.e. 'My emotions tell me that this is the case but that is simply false because logically I know that...' and hold that frame until you feel relief. Just be aware that by following any of these approaches, you can stumble upon very strong emotions that you've been suppressing for years. They are the key to making your life exponentially better but require a high level of mental fortitude to safety work out.

Yeah, it's the whole political structure that's the problem here. Replacing the old system with a new one can't happen smoothly overnight. Unfortunately the West doesn't current have the foresight to facilitate this in good faith even if the Russian leadership wanted to transform the country (which they don't)

Is this just a problem with the system in Russia and all of their corruption? The obvious choice would be for Russia to join the West starting as a conservative democracy. They could leverage their natural resources to become wealthy.

Currently Russia seems unconcerned with Finland/Sweden. No need to give them a reason to be

The US said from the beginning that they won't intervene militarily in Ukraine, that's so that if the US promises to defend Taiwan (or another NATO state), then they would be taken seriously. You'll probably know if they're heading towards a nuclear war. If so it'll be fairly safe to be in South/Central America, Africa, polynesia, northern Canada etc. Well China's in a different situation. The communist party is likely a lot more divided than is admitted (Xi vs Zemin factions) and Xi may not have enough connections in the PLA to convince them to go to war. The objective of his intensifying rhetoric may simply be to make the general citizen a nationalist who believes wholeheartedly in the party; good for maintaining power. China losing a war would almost certainly cause the people to lose faith in the party leading to their demise - a possibility that the CCP can prevent by talking about war without creating one.

Now that Russia has officially invaded Ukraine, I was wondering if Putin would go further and try to completely disband NATO and get the US out of Europe (or at least central-Eastern Europe). Something like mounting an invasion of Poland, Romania, the Baltic and attempting to put in pro-Russian puppet states; with the final goal to sign an agreement with France/Germany to remove American influence and force economic concessions. While China and Russia aren't the friendliest of allies, I could see it as being in China's interest to invade Taiwan since the US would have to fight two major wars half way around the world. If this were the case, they would be waiting to see and only executing their plan if Russia wins a decisive victory in Ukraine.. which is a big if. I think it's quite unlikely given that China is already facing a lot of social/economic pressure. But at the same time the more an authoritarian country feels under pressure the more likely it would try to divert attention outwards.. I hope such a tragic outcome will not occur.

Here's my take on this as an introvert - and how the situation doesn't need to be so bad: 1) By being left behind in the conversation, feels like I learn more about people, and it's really chill not having to say much. If I'm too left out and get bored, I usually just leave and do my own thing 2) What's wrong with 'being revealed?' I have the opposite problem where I try my best to be understood but they usually just don't get it (stage yellow problems) so end up saying things to keep the conversation moving... But in terms of insecurities it might be how you approach life.. If you see all of your personal insecurities as a learning opportunity and actively work through them, all of your problems 'revealed' is most like an opportunity for them to provide their 2 cents and multiple perspectives is too good, whether it's useful or not (unless they're too toxic) . And you end up learning how other people deal with issues, better understand psychology, and come up with mental categories to place people into. That being said, I know it's not easy. All of these things come from your subconscious and it takes dedicated work to get everything in alignment.
