I empathize with your lack of empathy.

Quite probably the best response possible.

You're referring to Salvia? It's rare to ever hear someone speak of it like that And yet somehow there are people crazy/stupid enough to use them recreationally.

Personally, I've been considering doing 4 Aco DMT as it appears to be one of it's prodrugs which Psilocybin is also. I would subject the substance to GC/MS to ensure purity, and utilize a microgram scale for dosage. Personally I'd recommend anyone wanting to do "mushrooms" or really any psychedelic to do the same.

I've advise against Datura for multiple reasons. First, the potency has such a large range of variability from batch to batch that accidental overdose is rather probable. Second, due to the anticholinergic properties of the substance and other deliriant type properties, it will mindfuck you into oblivion so hard you can't even fathom it. Of course, Salvia is similar in that regard, it's just that they're ridiculously powerful substances. So, to sum up don't do Datura. Even if you physically survive, which would be more likely if you did it under the guidance of Shaman who is experienced with it. It'll alter you so much that you're very likely to fall into a psychosis which could easily be permanent.

Salvia both has high potential for spiritual growth, and to inflict great suffering also. So to answer your question, it probably would be beneficial if you smoked a breakthrough dose but it might fuck you up at the same time. I suggest you read the Psychonaut wiki page on Salvia, and especially that you read the trip reports on there before you even consider doing it. https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Salvinorin_A

If you decide to take LSD for your first trip(which I'd advise against) do something like 100 micro grams. And yes it's true that your mind would be clearer on LSD, it's just that Psilocybin hits the more emotional aspect of consciousness better than LSD. And consequently, it has higher recreational potential as on acid you're more likely to radically dissolve your ego and freakout. I know you're likely not doing this for pleasure, but I believe safety should be your first priority. And that of course includes your sense of mental stability. Which you're likely to miss if you go from an ordinary mortal existence straight to being God and knowing that you're imaging everything firsthand. If you do chose to try LSD first, I'd recommend you study the following Psychonaut Wiki page in depth so you have some idea of what you're getting yourself into. But don't be frightened by my warnings, LSD is an incredibly safe substance in comparison even to many legal drugs. As long as you know that what you have truly is LSD-25, and not some other substance like an I-Nbome because you've tested your acid. And you dose appropriately, you should be fine. https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/LSD

I would advise you take somewhere between 1 and 1.5 grams. At that dose, it's likely to be a good light experience. I also recommend you read the following trip report to get a general idea of what you will happen to you. Though keep in mind it'll only provide a sort of rough model since your experience will be at least slightly different. https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Experience:_1.5g_Psilocybe_Cubensis_-_Analysis_of_body_and_mind

I would recommend Psilocybin over LSD for your first trip as that should produce a softer experience. Which you want because your first trip's agenda should be to prepare yourself for future trips. Relative to dosage, what species of mushroom do you specifically plan on taking? Because the actual concentration of Psilocybin can vary rather substantially between different mushrooms.

I would definitely recommend you do Psilocybin/Psilocin first. It's the least likely to give you a bad experience though it's still possible. Especially if you take an excessive dose. I don't recommend Cannabis, seeing as it's not going to raise your level of consciousness the way a psychedelic would.

This can easily be recreated in your sleeping dreams. Does that prove they aren't dreams? Or that they aren't your imagination? How do you think "nightmares" are possible? The dream characters you encounter in a sleeping dream experience a separate reality to you. Are you saying that makes them real? In your worldview surely dreams must be somehow unreal as compared against the waking world. Furthermore, you couldn't possible know that we all live in the same reality without having direct access to our experiences and comparing them against yours. For example, when you look up at the sky and see what for you is the color blue and call it blue, I might also call it blue, but the color I see as blue you might see as red. But, if you were to become me(or anyone or anything other than yourself for that matter) you would think you're losing your mind. So it's impossible for you to determine whether or not I share your experiences. Which defeats your whole argument as it's based on the notion that we all live in the same reality. No, everything is literally the same as nothing. The absolute truth is Omnipresence or in other words, you aren't the body/human you think you are, rather you are everything(all possible realities/things that can be imagined by infinite imagination) and nothing(the non attributional consciousness of which all those things consist). And really, you aren't actually any of those things, because you're a self, and the self is whatever it permits itself to become. I know I may appear to be beating a dead horse, everything is easy to explain. However, nothing is much more difficult. Because when we say nothing, we almost certainly mean something other than what you think we mean. This definition of nothing, is not something which doesn't exist, that's a different nothing. Nor is it empty space, though it's more similar to the spacetime continuum than for example solid matter, because space is more subtle than matter. And the definition of nothing I'm using refers to the most subtle form possible. Which is essentially no form at all, the problem with saying that though, is that it's so formless it isn't even formless. Because just as a form needs to exclude every other possibility to be itself, so the formless would need to exclude every possible form. But this kind of nothing does nothing of the kind, it rather includes every possibility, so much so that it includes every possible form of exclusion. Hence why it's nothing and everything simultaneously. It's only logical that nothing is inevitable. Because for reality to consist of something would mean that all realities and everything within them would be that something. Like for instance, if the building block of the universe were chickens, everything would be a chicken. Humans would be a chicken, their hand would be a chicken, the molecules which make up their hand would also be chickens etc etc. You see why existence in it's rawest form cannot be a chicken. But let's take this a step further. If this were so(the chickens being everything notion) it would be impossible to differentiate between one chicken and the other. Like the chicken I am(as a human), and the chicken the Sun is would be indifferentiable because we'd be exactly the same thing. You see how they cancel each other out? It's only because there are differences between myself and the sun that the the sun and myself exist. This is an assumption which needs reevaluation. Reality is made out of differences, not physical matter. The problem with your understanding is that you're making metaphysical assumptions without even realizing it. Which is what most professional scientists of our day are doing also. There's also the fact that you seem to be limited to the human experience. Whereas I've experienced things beyond what's ordinarily possible for a human. Consequently, I have a very different worldview to yours. It's sort of like this, imagine you think the world is flat because it appears so to you as a puny creature sitting on the globe. Now imagine we send you up 500 miles to look down on your home and see that it's in fact spherical. This is effectively like what would happen if you were to reach the states of consciousness I've reached. The only difference being that this awakening affects all of existence, not just a planet.

Well, the human experience would be very different if they knew their true identity. There are many other reasons mind you, like the fact that humans have a hard time accepting they're creating all things including those they find evil or displease them. It's mostly a problem of ego, if you desire to think of it as a problem. To quote Plato “No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.”

We're not supposed to discuss sourcing. But my advise to you would be to always have your substances tested before doing them.

Absolutely. The subconscious mind doesn't differentiate between real and unreal the same way the conscious mind does. For instance, you may be watching something on television which is highly engaging. It might be a football game where your favorite team is losing badly the whole game then in the 4th quarter they "pull out of their ass" a seemingly miraculous victory. If we were to measure your nor adrenaline levels, we'd see them spike when the excitement occurs. This is because your emotions are created and regulated subconsciously. If you were to use your conscious discernment to "determine" whether the game should be exciting or not. You'd realize that you're looking at a spectrum of moving lights being projected onto a sheet of glass, and not something that is real(that's to say, you would realize the game isn't truly occurring inside the tv). Therefore, you would think of the "game" as being not real and feel silly for reacting to it as if it were. To the conscious mind, it seems that repeating the same action and expecting different results is foolish or even insane. But, repetitious experience/action/thought patterns solidifies the "reality" of that experience or action subconsciously. The more solid it becomes, the more real it becomes, the more real it becomes the more powerful and permanent the effects of it are. This is why 10 hours of meditation is more powerful than 1 hour. And why 10 hits of acid is more powerful than 1. And also why repeating a certain form of meditation or Sadhana results in higher possibilities. So if you try to utilize your mind to do magick, don't be discouraged if it fails. Realize that with repetition, it's effects become "realer". If they become real enough, eventually you'll have unlocked whatever potential you were seeking.

My advise would be to develop your Vishuddhi. If your energies become dominant there you'd be directly aware of how you're dreaming things up. And consequently can banish undesirable imagined things(like demons, goblins, and your landlord). I'm just kidding about that last one.

Relatively speaking, truer words have never been spoken about a drug. It amazes me that people would forgo psilocybin/psilocin(by far one of the safest substances in existence in terms of biological toxicity and addiction potential) which has a majority of positive experiences in trip reports for something so consistently maligned(and rightly so for it's ability to mindfuck and torture) as Salvia. I mean, you would think people would at least be fastidious enough to discover MDMA as a potential inducer of pleasure(though it's slightly less safe than Psilocin due to the possiblity of Serotonin Syndrome). Oh well, I suppose individuals using drugs recreationally tend not be the sharpest tools in the shed.

Real vs unreal is a duality, which to be experienced or expressed necessitates self-deception. From an absolute perspective, there is no difference between the two realities he experienced, they are one as all is one. But in the relative domain, he experienced a hallucination similar to that of our "real lives" just of a radically different dream, with different rules. While it's unusual to explore other realities as you've described, there are similar accounts from others doing psychedelics, some practicing astral projecting without substances, and even just basic meditators who've experienced time dilation to some degree(myself included). So the fact that he spent months in a totally different dream for such a short duration of time in our own reality shouldn't be entirely too shocking.

I believe what Charlie is trying to say is that when you've had an epiphany it sticks with you. And not necessarily that he thinks memory of experiences past are invalid. Though I could be wrong, perhaps I'm projecting my own wisdom.

The short answer to that is yes it's stronger than 5MEO, the second question can't be answered so easily due to differences in drug scheduling between foreign countries, and differences in accessibility in various regions. I strongly recommend you watch the video where Leo gives his report of the substances in question which I'll link below.

Riddle me this. If I have a dream where there are 1000 humans myself being one of them, and we all experience a cactus in a desert. Does that make the cactus or the desert objectively real? Or if I have the same dream 1000 times, does that make it somehow more real than the dream I have only once?

Real and unreal are one. So yes, it's all real. Literally if you were to take 1000 mics of LSD your experiences on it would be just as real/imaginary as your ordinary life.

It's probably best to wait a couple days for Leo to reveal it, then you can answer those questions yourself or they'll be answered by others anyway.

Glad to help, I find it somewhat amusing how underappreciated this topic appears to be. I mean, I know the fact that the Psychopath test being posted by Leo is liable to make it slightly more popular. But that thread received like 10x the views and saw massively more engagement in the first 24 hours. It makes me think people prefer to discuss psychopathy over empathy. I guess they feel that psychopathy is too sexy to ignore.

The identity of the Godhead knows no limits. So to answer your question, it's all 4 of the possibilities you've proposed at once, and also none of the 4 simultaneously.
