Definitely mushrooms are better they’re very natural and there’s almost no side effects. Remember any smoke has a damaged to lungs and there is also large carbon intake. Definitely stick to shrooms.

Prior psychedelics, I tried many different approaches and nothing was really working towards awakening or enlightenment as how you would say. Even meditation was not the same. After psychedelics, things became much smoother, even meditation went to a different level. To me psychedelics just gave me a bump to a different level from where working on self acquiring just became so much easy. I cannot imagine being in a state where I am at without psychedelics. It’s the greatest thing world has to offer to us, all it is a great tool to boost ourselves to a next level on the path of enlightenment.

Also be careful to differentiate, there is actually a pure MDMA and a Molly which not to be confused. Pure MDMA is almost impossible to get unless you know a guy who is actually making a Molly, a dealer will never sell you pure MDMA because this is the backbone for market “drugs”. MDMA itself is a psychedelic, it can be healing in a therapy but so you should know you can easily overdose on it. Trying once in your life is fine and if you really into it, do it very sparingly, once a year should be max. Stick to traditional psychedelics, those are beautiful fun and mostly not dangerous to your health when taking them responsibly. And of course things like ecstasy, tootsie and even Molly are really party drugs and taking them a lot will replete your serotonin level and make you feel like shit the next day and not to mention your immunity to them grows pretty quick.

I am not sure if I am posting this topic in the right category but this made me post after listening to Leo's lecture about understanding Conservative/Liberal Mind. And I want to get input from the community as well as Leo himself. So, Leo mentioned in the show that conservative or liberal brain is specifically wired, that it has to do with brain neurons and biochemistry of specific individuals and hence they act the way they do. So when I was back in school, I was for most part liberal, as school students are, then when graduating, got into religion and became very conservative, in such a way that I was severely against abortions and gay rights to mention a few. With time I sort of unclinged from the "organized religion" and for the past two years doing significant amount of psychedelics. Now I find myself politically maroon, I respect people's rights, I strongly believe that its a person choice whether to have a kid or not and I am no one to tell the individual whether to be gay or straight. Indeed, to that point, that while I still barely attend religious events, the closet people seek my advice saying that I am very open minded to them and what would I advice in a given situation as I listen to them and always tell them that everyone's life is a journey. So the million dollar question is, did psychedelics rewired my brain? Or I was not liberal/conservative to begin with and was clinging to what was available next to me at that time. But if psychedelics can change brain chemistry, I am sure they can swing to many directions as well. What are your input on it.

Thanks Leo, so from what I understood the brain chemistry has nothing to do with it.

Thanks everyone, so then technically the liberal/conservative mind has not much to do with brain chemistry as Leo pointed out. Anyone can be liberal or conservative depending how they were brought up and anyone using psychedelics can get out of the brainwashing.

So you personally think psychedelics cannot rewire one's brain?

Hi Leo, I feel that I am the only one who really understood your episode. I am reading through the comments of people and at best it looks like 95% of them misunderstood the episode. your episode was not so much political but you discussed the human psychology and where are we going with. You touched on very deep topics rooted in human psychology and how humanity really operates. It’s not a secret that majority of humans are on the low thinking spectrum and we have problems seeing other perspectives but our own, and the most important thing for the majority of humans is self survival. It’s not an opinion it’s a matter of fact whether we will like it or not. What I was surprised is that most people on this forum are spiritually minded people. And it was shocking to me that they also misunderstood. If you say we need 300 years for a real social reform to happen, with this mindset it looks like we will need 3,000 years. Thank you Leon for such a deep topic diving into human mind, I really appreciate it and I really understood where you’re coming from. You really touched human fundamental ego. I personally do not think it was a political episode. You really dived so deep into human thinking and human understanding. Honestly, what humanity needs is awakening and after that we can start building a high-level social reform. Without it we’re all stuck in the low mind thinking. And what i have also noticed people who like to use political slogan is just a nickname for being cool that’s all.

If you think this way you totally misunderstood the entire episode. Leo actually went very deep not so much into politics but in human psychology and how humans think. I personally think this was a very deep end and bias episode. Leo discusses many challenges within a human mind and human ego. Indeed most humans can relate to it regardless their political spectrum.

I watched part one so far and I am glad that Leo brought a lot of valid points this time for the left, as he did for the right in the past. But to be very honest it’s not really a left versus right, it’s enlightened human versus not. Let’s be honest most people just parrot what other people say and some are doing for career purposes or try to fit in the group. while some people claim to cling to a democratic wing a lot of them can also be very racist or as Leo pointed ethnocentric for conservatives. At the end of the day it really boils down to individual fear and every human if they’re not developed they can go that route. That’s why I don’t like when Leo says people on the right have more fear than on the left. Again, people who are truly into politics, and no matter which spectrum, Democratic and Republican, will have a lot in common because their common goal is to how to help the community and the country. All those individuals who just scream and point fingers really do that out of fear or gain populist vote that’s all. I want to gift to examples. One time I was in the bar and one guy who claimed he was nationalist was speaking very poorly of immigrants in that way that he wanted to punch their face. I asked him what were his reasons and he said he was nationalist. I said that’s fine, but as a nationalist you supposed to like your nation and ask him whether he was helping poor people in his nation to which he replied that those people don’t need help as poor people are just being lazy. So really he was there just to hit people and he used nationalism as an excuse, if there was no politics he would just be a simple bully hitting indiscriminately. another example, there was a progressive rally advocating for minority rights against police brutality. Yes there were individuals who were cheering and etc. but believe me they were saying so much xenophobia against other ethnicities that the only way they fit into that rally was because they could have joined that club and guess what, also to be violent in the demonstration. basically to conclude most people are doing things out of fear and not so much out of politics, as a true politician would not stoop to a low level they’re looking how to make things better. All the other talk is just a way to criticize others and that’s what people love to do thank you Leo for bringing such valid points, that was a truly deep insight which I applaud you for.

Hi I know one person though not so well when I spoke to him a year ago he and his friend were planning to take a very high dose of LSD. Though he personally chickened out and took relatively normal dose his friend did take a very high dose, I don’t remember the number and prefer not to guess and again it’s based from the story of a person I know but the guy who took the high dose (of course during the nightclub time) it did severely hit him, he actually sort of lost his mind, the trip was so extensive that when the other one who took low dose went back to normal, the other individual was screaming of seeing demons and deities for the next day. So my friend believed that the trip for the other guy did end and the rest was his mind playing ticks on him. For three consecutive days the guy was experiencing out of the world phenomena that he did require psychological help. He was not the same again after. Again we don’t know what kind of mode he was to begin with, just paraphrasing the story to you but he did mention it was a heroic dose. My humble advice and it’s only from my perspective I personally would stay away from high doses of LSD. If you really want to take higher doses take mushrooms or if you really want to go high high dose drink Ayahuasca that can really go deep and it’s pretty safe as DMT is natural occurring substance.

Thanks so much all of you, I feel now more comfortable keep promoting to people and of course a word of warning would not hurt anyone.

https://youtu.be/gF4bDlpuqKU Hi everyone, I am a big promoter of psychedelics as I truly think they are divine gift to humanity to open our spiritual path and I have been promoting different retreats such as ayahuasca retreats though I am doing that on voluntarily basis. When people ask me about ayahuasca medicine itself, I tell them that it’s totally safe (of course when taking they should be off all medications and only do in circles that are trusted). But then someone forwarded me this video, I am pasting above, and wanted to get all your opinions on it. I don’t want to brush this video as a a fake news video, I am not trying to be bias, though I fully support psychedelics, but when listening to Leo’s videos, he teaches us to have open mind and listen to both sides of the stories. So excluding dangers that can happen during ceremonies such as rape, fights and other violence, the psychedelics themselves, can they be dangerous to peoples’ health such as stated in the video? The person in the video claims that they happen more often than not. I personally don’t. Want to believe but I want to get your opinions and especially what can Leo say on it.

Thanks for the answer. Again I am totally for psychedelics because they truly can open up a person’s spiritual path. So as far health wise, it won’t have huge side effects that perhaps I should not recommend to people. I am excluding all other exterior issues, just the medicine itself? Because I hear most of positive outcomes. Meaning can they do a damage to a complete healthy person? That’s what I was asked by someone and I prefer to give them an honest answer.

I am only speaking military, of course when it comes to economy, Russia is doing pretty bad, they spent most of the GDP on military and the other half gets stolen.

I am not, totally not, I never liked Russia and it was never my favorite country at all. You are way off the radar. But you have to give credit where credit is due, they do have serious military weapons and back in Cold War era they were on same level as US. Of course now US is the super country but you cannot undermine Russia.

Hi Leo, I read your comments and I see your point. I don’t want to go into conspiracy theory but the whole thing does not add up so well and I wonder if you also feel that something more is happening. Let’s be honest, Russia is the second powerful nation in the world and I am sure it could have captured entire small Ukraine in a day or two, prolonging the war only makes it worse and also, I have never seen the media speak about conflict so much, all the time, have it liberal or conservative talk, it’s being projected on Americans all day long and notice while US screams to stop they don’t really help Ukraine by supplying military weapons. In my opinion something stinks, what do you think?

First of all Joe Rogan is a journalist and I give him a lot of reports for asking questions. What I admire a lot in him is that he invites people from different spectrum of views, it’s horrible to have only one view available as most mainstream media dies such as cnn, msnbc and even fox. Joe is neutral and I like how he challenges both sides because that is a real journalism and not to stick to part lines who ever sponsor your show.

There was something I was deeply contemplating on and was wondering the true nature of psychedelics. For easier description I will assume that I am the only mind here and everything else is what my mind makes up and I am God who created myself to get to know reality. (No intention to put anyone down, just for laying down my idea). So I created this reality and everything here is just an illusion. So what about psychedelics. Are they also illusion and when we take them we are just in same illusion as everything is, or when i created this reality, I on purposely, sort of left a tool for myself to discover one day, say if I deviate too much from the truth and they do kinda make me awake, meaning I could have placed any tool in this world to make me awake, I could have made apples, by consuming would make me awake and see the real truth. Or psychedelics are delusional as everything else is? Because from what I understood everything else in this world is delusional?

If you really decided, definitely get a sitter, and a sitter who done psychedelics. It will only benefit and will not hurt.

When you say dream, I would assume you are speaking the "psychedelic dream" and not our life dream? Or you mean any dream is absolute truth even the waking dream we are having now.

Want to share this video I found, she explains what it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrSv2v2xYDU The latest psychedelics experience I go through, the more I get to the notion that its only me here and everything else was created by me to make my experience rich. The past was created for me, the entire history, my family, friends, even actualized.org as well as Leo was created by me to teach me and for me to realize that there is only me. Before I always look either down or ironically at Solipsism, but as time goes on I come to realization that this is the absolute truth. It scares me though, but the question is, how do we know others exist, my guess is as good as your guess.

So then you are saying that everything is a dream/hallucination, even being on 5 MEO DMT is still part of hallucinating. Then the question is, what state it is not a dream? Is there any state that we can reach with anything?

I was on the intent that God realization is the only state not of a dream but of absolute truth but everything else is a dream, just on different levels.

But my main question is, mediation, psychedelics and etc, do they really wake you up to absolute reality or perhaps to yet another dream? Like a dream within a dream.
