It stops working after a while. Your body just gets too used to it and the good parts of it become diminished. Enjoy it while it lasts and don’t abuse it

You will be bored in that reality if you are bored in this one. Don’t you see? There’s nowhere to go that will complete you.

I was cute but I was passive and hadn't developed my personality yet in my 20's. I attracted a lot of girls, but they never took me seriously once they realized I hadn't discovered my masculinity Once I hit 30 that changed and now I actually feel like a confident man who can take the lead with a woman. Biggest issue is time and effort. Takes from me to find social interactions now than it did in my 20's.

I enjoy Frank Yang’s content. It’s crazy because I knew about him 10+ years ago when I was into body building and had no idea when I watched some of his videos last year that he was on the enlightenment journey. Even though I consume content from at least a dozen different spiritual sources, I find myself feeling these days like I’m at the point that I do that out of boredom and not because I’m going to find any answers. The content is good but eventually you realize the answers have to come from within and someone else saying the same thing from a different meat suit is just that.

Meth

My stomach hurts if I don’t make a tea. Usually consists of hot water, ginger, lemon, and a bit of honey.

Had never heard him speak so directly about it before, rather refreshing.

Neither. I have a light meal several hours before tripping. I snack on small things during the trip if I feel like I need energy. Once I feel the trip is mostly over I’m usually depleted so I eat a meal and that sobers me up nicely.

What I'm telling you is that if don't understand why someone would contemplate suicide without attributing it to something negative then you don't get it yet.

This will bother some of you but I truly believe if you haven't contemplated suicide in some form you still have work to do. If you're afraid of even contemplating it that's another fear you have yet to address.

I personally appreciated everything he chose to discuss as it helps with my own process of dealing with life. A lot of you guys have this weird obsession with not treating Leo like he is still a human being. You think because he has reached these insane levels of consciousness through psychedelics that he doesn't come back to human consciousness like we all inevitably do. He struggles with human problems just like the rest of us. You only see a portion of who he is through his videos. He says time and time again to stop idolizing him and so many do not listen.

No and this is why I don't find them comparable. Psychedelics fill me with vibrance and my awareness skyrockets to non-human levels. Weed for the most part dulls me out. It can act as a nice amplifier for psychedelics, but it does not produce consciousness raising effects on its own in my experience. I've smoked my fair share and consumed edibles for many years and none of it touched even a simple 1g mushroom or 100 ug LSD experience. Not to say I haven't had some strange experiences with cannabis, but it simply hasn't accelerated my actualization the way psychedelics have.

There are not even remotely comparable in my experiences

He talked about losing a family cat in I think the “What is death” video

I looked at it. I think he’s just tripping when he posts sometimes and sharing things he normally wouldn’t share. Leo has talked about experiencing mania in the past so I think he’s well aware of what that feels like. I think he just doesn’t give a shit, it’s Instagram lol.

@thenondualtankie @Javfly33 If your goal is to improve socially, you've tried psychedelics and they haven't helped with that, I would absolutely say try MDMA. I started out taking it at raves about 5 years ago. Then I started using it at home with my closest friend. We would talk about things we were afraid to talk about before. I became WAY more social after that. No longer in my head and able to be ultra present with other people and much more empathetic to them. I've done it alone too and that is also very helpful for self acceptance. Now I mainly like to just do it with my closest friends. Would love to do it with a girl I care about some day. Some people recommend MDMA therapy with a therapist which could be helpful if you have past trauma that you need to overcome. I didn't really have any trauma thankfully so it wasn't something I needed. As far as dosing, I stay in the 80-120 mg range and I typically don't redose. You will hear people talk about the comedown but so long as you don't go overboard on the dose you should be fine. TEST your shit first though. I have NEVER experienced an MDMA comedown and I've rolled probably 20 times in the last 5 years. I'm not saying I won't or that it won't happen, but if you taken proper precautions you can mitigate the risk. As far as setting I would say you can easily do it alone, however you will WANT people to talk to so it's nice to have someone there with you.

I've done a lot of these drugs so I'll give my take Phenibut - stay away from it. It was very nice the first few times I tried it, but you will build up a tolerance super quickly and it can become extremely addicting. You will also start to feel reliant on it to calm your nerves and feel like you can't be social without it. Extremely dangerous drug that can actually kill you Coke - fun but in my experience it really just results in you wanting to talk, but not actually listening to the other person. These days if I do it it's literally just to keep me awake when I go out otherwise I get tired quickly. Also you have no idea what's actually in the shit you bought so fentanyl OD's are always possible LSD - Can be extremely fun in social situations and bring you out of your shell but It can also go horribly wrong which is the risk with doing psychedelics in a non controlled environment MDMA - Probably the best socializing drug from these, however it's too intense to take in a normal social situation with people who are not also rolling. You're probably better off just rolling in a controlled environment with a few people and doing some inner work to help you break through some of your insecurities. This will make you much less nervous in social situations without any drugs. At least it did for me. I don't demonize drugs and tell people they need to figure it out sober. You can do that. But it might just take you a lot longer. One MDMA session can clear so much shit out of your system that might have taken 6 months of therapy to sift through.

If I do it's for like the briefest moment and and then *poof* gone. Not ever a serious contemplation. Just the monkey mind running wild.

If your mindset going into an approach is, “I’m going to talk to this girl not because I’m actually interested in her but because she’s not attractive and will want to sleep with me even if I don’t put in effort” then that’s exactly what she’s going to pick up on. If she has some semblance of self worth she will toss you to the curb.

Agreed mostly lines up with my experiences

I made my two best friends by tripping with them. I would say I probably can't go as deep with someone else there as I could solo tripping, but the connection you form with another person in this manner is insane. I trust these two with my life. The last time I tripped with one of my buddies it was like we synchronized as one throughout the entire trip. All the guess work that comes with being an individualistic selfish ego was gone. It was incredible. We both understood that we are nothing and words were not needed for much of the trip. Now I just hope I can find a girl to do that with on an intimate level some day lol

I understand your perspective. But do you also see how this exact situation could happen to someone else and they could label it entirely different in their mind?

What does the curse look like? How are you differentiating between what aspects of your life are a result of the curse and what isn't?

I don't reject curses as an aspect of reality. I believe that you believe you're cursed... But if I decide to start attributing all the things that I consider "bad" in my life to a curse, am I also cursed now? If you never knew that word curse existed would you still say all that is happening to you is due to a curse? Who is the one who has decided what is considered a curse and what isn't? Aren't you the one doing that?

A lot of women get duped by it initially. It turns them on at the beginning which sparks the attraction and then when the evil side of him comes out they ditch him and ask why they can't find a nice guy. What they want is a guy who sexually asserts himself, but at the same time is respectful. Not an actual nice guy because that does nothing for her sexually. I would equate it to a man who wants to sleep with a woman he barely knows just because she has a nice pair of tits. She could be a terrible person, but he can't help himself and just wants her until he eventually gets tired of her bullshit and leaves.
