I find myself reading your blog often. Really good mind expanding stuff, I appreciate that. If I didn't already saturate myself with other learning stuff I'd sit down and go down the full rabbit hole of each of your posts. I loved the CIA podcast, and has piqued my curiosity/awareness to all CIA psychology related things. I recently bought this book called The Ellipsis Manual. Added to the shelf beside the other 70 books I gotta read Been reading a lot more now. I like to average a minimum of 1h a day. But 1.5 to 2 hours is a sweet spot I want to establish. I am intrigued by the deep technical books on fundamentalism you posted about Funny moment: When I had a moment of huge resolve to get a water filter in, you just made a post sharing your water setup. A perfect synchronicity.

This Thread title has me smiling so hard lmao. Too funny -
For me, I did SEVERAL trips just asking the question: What is Actuality? From there you'll begin to scratch the surface of realizing that reality LITERALLY is just ISing in front of you, appearances happening to nobody. Appearances grounded in itself, grounded in Nothingness, being itself as an infinite shapshifting fractal. Figments of consciousness literally just existing as they are on their own with nothing behind it., No "How" is needed. It is just A=A. I personally just scratched the surface of this myself, accessing stats of consciousness that the whole show of reality is just happening within the bubble of consciousness that I am accessing and forgetting how I'm generating right now. Accessing states realizing that all stories of why things exist are just stories and contexts projected onto reality to fool myself that spontaneous existence isn't just happening right here.

Jay Alto's thumbnail course will get you up to speed with thumbnails and titles. Then do "the yoink and twist" with outlier thumbnails and titles from website 1of10.com.

Another thing I'd like to add is that when my trips have gone real sour, it will still end on a positive note. At least with mushrooms that has generally been the case. And I think too, when you're doing any high dose of psychedelic, a rough trip is completely unavoidable. Just be sure you ramp up your doses slowly. I remember listening to a portion of the book "LSD and the mind of the universe" . And the author talks about not only is a challenging trip unavoidable when you're doing like 600mcg of LSD, but also what intrigued me the most is how he described how a scenario that was particularly challenging needed to "exhaust itself" in order to allow your consciousness to reach new levels or domains. How that suffering was very much a purification process.

In my experience, going for an ego death CAN help significantly. That is, if you can remember to. Contemplate: What is death? What is ego? What is self? To get an ego death. Trying to focus your love on the trip is good too. Other than that, surrendering to it is all you can do.

I would very much enjoy this!

Thank FUCK. 🔥 Leo I'm super excited about this course. I'm a proud student of your work and I want to make you PROUD by actualizing my life Purpose to the hilt where it creates a worldwide positive impact like you have. ❤️

@Leo Gura I'm wondering, how much of this stuff are you conscious of while completely sober? Personally I've been accessing various states of consciousness, but I'm not accessing most of this stuff sober, at least not yet. It's pretty obvious that some of these things you're never going to have permenant access to. And I'm aware that you're limited by your personal brain chemistry. But I'm curious as to what Leo has accomplished.

Scoop is the way to go.

@Leo Gura Is there a typo here? In Exercise #8, it says: "...and one sensation can perceive another sensation." Shouldn't it be?: "...and one sensation can't perceive another sensation." Thanks! Side note, I'm noticing that as I do more trips and learn deeper, these exercises become more understandable. Whereas when I first saw this list it was BARELY understandable.

@Jannes yes, fuck all sources of unearned dopamine.

@Jannes @Jannes Put yourself in an environment where you have to act. Where there is an immediate consequence. Now it may be different for you but for me my level of conscientiousness and being able to be a self-starter is very low. It sucks because I would really like to be extremely driven and conscientious but I gotta lean into the truth of the situation. Another thing that I need is some sort of routine enforced upon on to me from an external source. Very helpful.

@Leo Gurado you have any tips to reduce bleeding for plugging 5MEOMALT? I have to do a lot of 5MEOMALT just to get started. I finally got a dose that is doing something notable, which is 4 large level yellow microscoops. (Pictured) What's unfortunate is that I have to sit on the porcelain throne taking some of the most uncomfortable bowel movements of 2024. Next day I'm feeling fine though, bowel movements feeling fine.

@Jannes I was diagnosed with ADHD my entire life but I never knew really what that actually meant. So I never really designed my life in a way to actually work with it.

@Jannes there's a difference between being diagnosed and knowing how your brain works.

I really appreciate this post! -
OP: "The forum is a distraction, so check out this other distraction."

@Leo Gura literally my problem is not being able to focus on my purpose. Lack of motivation, vision, or even clarity on what is my next step. Currently I'm picking away at redoing the life purpose course exercises as I did then 5 years ago now.

This list is fantastic
