I was rewatching Leo‘s „How psychedelics work“ episode together with the chart he made years ago on which psychedelics fire up which neuro receptors. I became curious which receptors or combination thereof would likely produce the most impact on the „pure consciousness“ dial Leo imagines in the video. It looks like it would be 5ht1a, possibly in combination with others, based on the activation with LSD, DPT and 5-MeO (possibly combinations?). This is not more than speculation at this point, haven’t done any of my own research, but was interested to hear if some of you had asked yourself the same questions and where it led.

@Leo Gura Understood. However, I was getting more at what puts it over the line this time, compared to other substances you talked about in the past. But anyway, I’m sure you’ve made a very conscientious decision, so I won’t go on about it.

@Leo Gura In the past you shared openly about the specific substances and other techniques you used. I was wondering about your reasons for not disclosing the substance you will be working with this time. Did you have the impression that discussing specific substances in the past was a net-negative or is it more to protect the integrity of the project? I don’t know if you would agree, but so far I don’t see an inherent benefit in the prolonged trial and error of substances. So any knowledge about which ones work well for others, specifically in the very niche way this community tends to use them, is very valuable in order to make one‘s own search more effective. In any case, great you’re going ahead with the retreat! Wishing you much success.

I was looking for one, but couldn't find anything. How would I go about starting to lucid dream? I know reality checks and dream journaling. Are there other methods? Insight: Lucid dreaming is basically sudden awakening in a nutshell. Question: assuming I'm in a dream, but am unconscious of it. How would I go about becoming conscious? (Not this particular dream, any dream whatsoever). Plus: share best LD resources, books, websites, YT-channels.

Cool thanks! I will start with the resources you provided.

Shall we collect AI resources? Books, papers, videos ...

Martin Ford is a name that frequently came up in my (up to this date very superficial) research. But I haven't had the time to watch some of his stuff.

As a follow up: I came across the work of Charlie Morley, who addresses LD and Shadow Work specifically in this book: https://fr1lib.org/book/5442841/91a51a What I saw from him on youtube he has a green/pluralistic perspective.

Hi, for those who have a regular practice of shadow work going: do you involve lucid dreaming in your practice? I'm especially curious about the possibility of inside-dream mediation as well as a „live Shadow Work“ with dream characters, once lucid. Is that something you have experience with? I’d be interested to hear your ideas. Furthermore: in „The Religion of Tomorrow“ Ken Wilber briefly mentions how the content and perspectives of dreams can give hints to one’s present structure-development (correlating with f e the Spiral Dynamics stages). I’m still in the process of reading the book, so maybe he writes more about it later. Do you know any other sources that help interpreting dreams with regards to the view through which they are perceived? Thanks, have a good weekend!

@Alex_R Hey thanks! I'll go for it.

The mystic's perspective on time: - how does self and time relate/why does self live in time - guided inquiry: how to access timelesness etc.

How to practice and achieve 24/7 awareness employing methods of meditation, contemplation, yoga, dream yoga/lucid dreaming.

Great suggestion.
