I can relate to that first part. When I took 5 Meo (low dose, I was a bit scared to go higher) I experienced it like “dead” and “empty” like I couldn’t possible live my life in that state because it’s so dead, it wasn’t rich at all, it’s like you reach the end of a reality, it wasn’t full, so I wanted to have my self back when I was in it. So I wonder how higher dose would be like, or a different kind of experience

I can relate to that when I tried

I’ve had spiritual experiences during sleep paralysis so maybe there’s something to it

@Petals sorry I’ll stop

lol you’re gonna bully me but I lowkey wanted to change to change to “Slavicimpostor” 😂because I’m Slavic and impostor is kinda mysterious and like I’m not what I seem

I picked the name (which I don’t like today it’s ugly) because of something like that, like I’m hiding or something

I feel 5 Meo dmt does that erasing of the border. At least when I tried it; but I did low dose so it was still a little ego left. I imagine higher dose is full erasing of border. Do you feel the openness on 5 Meo is different than the one you can achieve naturally or not?

Hahah funny but no. I don’t remember why I picked the name, I don’t like it I’d like to change it

A near death experience for me is when my self was almost dissolved

All I am familiar with is the process of disintegration of the self and it ended up with me feeling like I was approaching nothingness. I guess I haven’t done the opening aspect so its hard to grapple what that is- maybe it’s only obvious when it actually happens Yea I would need the direct experience to make sense of this. Sometimes I don’t even know what state of consciousness I am in. Because I’ve been through profound permanent shifts but I barely even know what they were about. For me it definitely seems almost impossible to dissolve the self 😂 It’s like you need to do something significant to the brain to achieve it

I meant it might be wrong

That’s your view

I did solve some issues but other different issues appeared yes

No

Lol Weird occasion to say “thanks”

I still have trouble distinguishing judgment, labelling, identifying and assigning meaning. But it’s ok

I do agree to a certain degree because I found some of my stress used to be about having my own internal experience in the spot light all the time. But counterintuitively it was precisely this inward focus that led me to permanently solve those issues

It could also be the opposite. You pay attention to something scary because it aids your survival. You want to get rid of that scary thing. You could flip it upside down and say that means we have desire to survive. Then we could ask the question you said

That’s such a broad question. For example big difference between attention moving towards pain in the body and attention moving towards someone with a strange outfit walking past you

Cool you remember so much about your dream lol! Yea dream states are totally different states of mind so it’s definitely something to explore . I even believe it’s can be spiritual work, the subconscious, energies etc

Thank you too for the link!

I don’t even know if it’s possible to know

That might apply to the average person

I was being funny. Yea I don’t know but it’s what I believe

To deal with stress requires us to go inward. ‘
