Salvia is already dissaciative enough. Doing MDMA before Salvia could be interesting, but is something you will only do a few times. It's not a sustainable combination. I also have the intuition that the MDMA chemistry would really distort the Salvia experience, but nevertheless it's an interesting thing to explore. In the following months I'll try this combination and let us you all know how it went. I've been researching and there are no trip reports written on the subject. I doubt to be first one to try it out but surely pioneering something interesting. Some user did combine DMT and Salvia, reporting that evoked profound sacredness, but no further explanation is given. The reason I'll try 5-MeO-DMT & Salvia is because I have the intution that the background spookiness triggered by Salvia, may be diluted by a low dose of 5-MeO-DMT. Salvia is very loving and wise once you surrender to it, but it's always uncomfortable and this is so from a biochemical standpoint. I'm not trying to run away from 'bad feelings' but certainly to find ways to refine the experience and maybe discover something novel.

@UnbornTao Remember that Ramana was a solipsist

Yes, I do feel it, but everyone is different. Maybe for you stretching may tense and contract your mind or don't affect it at all. If you meditate a lot, you will start getting a lot of sensibility of the states and structure your mind is in. You can even see how food affects your mind if you just eat and then meditate. Actually everything alters your state of mind. It's like you come to a carpenter shop and say to the craftsman, you are telling me for real there are different types of woods? I only see regular joe wood. There's an art of making subtle distinctions with deep observation. Try next time you do your stretching routine to meditate before and after and compare the state of your mind. Btw, given that you stretch twice a week could you give me any advice or routine? I'm just starting and would very much appreciate it as I'm not proficient in the topic

@Michal__ You gotta keep pushing. Don't quit now. Finish strong

What is Awake?

@UnbornTao If I understood correctly, your point is on the difference between intellectual understanding and experience or realisation. That gap is what you're trying to point. My comment was building on the intellectual consequences of both stances.

@UnbornTao I like a quote by Sri Anandamayi Ma that goes: "One thing is to have no doubts and another to realize a truth beyond all doubts" Religion lives in the former, mysticism in the latter.

@UnbornTao Is that message directed to me? If so, I don't care about looking intelligent because that attitude actually is a lower form of intelligence and an obstacle towards truth. I genuinely asked about a connection I didn't understand. I just couldn't see how identity and omnipotence could be linked, if you really contemplate, it's quite a claim. I wonder how many people did get it or really wanted to know. Leo explained it and I had the insight plus a mini-Awakening. That's why what I wrote may sound a bit different than my usual style, due to the state shift as I was writing. There's no big deal anyways.

Now I get it, yes I see. Another way to frame it is that true identity, beyond all layers, is existence itself and it's this existence which subdivides and limits itself, making existence inherently free, unlimited; connecting therefore Identity and Omnipotence. Wow, great connection, never saw it from this angle. Great insight Moreover, if my identity is unlimited by nature that takes all effort and chasing out of the equation, given the right consciousness one rests in pure Omnipotent nature, it's not something to acquire but something that is.

Loved your last quote, I connected all the dots but had a brain fart when you said Omnipotence is Identity. I can't see the connection there, would you mind explaining it? In your use of language, is Identity different than "I" ? Thanks

Lmao, that's exactly what I thought before posting. Crazy 5D chess being played here The other argument is that I don't have the time and Leo has already done an splendid job. It's mindboggling how accurate he is. I've verified everything in those videos and in what we differ he clarified and refined in later videos. Our differences are mostly in style rather than in Truth and Awakening. Although Leo is decades of work ahead of me, I'm just starting. As a funny anecdote, I thought Leo never talked publicly about Perfection Awakening (One facet I've gone very deep in) just to rewatch his video '65 core principles' to find it was one of them.

❤️ I'm good friends with LambdaDelta. Hopefully this year we'll meet in person, as we live both in Spain. We'll make a tea ceremony in your honour!

Some But I prefer not to talk too much on that, as mixing can become more dangerous and a trap in itself
