@Breakingthewall I remembered one of your posts in a high 5meomalt trip and it helped me to navigate that space very well. I wanted to say thanks

I liked this video. It gives a different perspective on weed that I didn't know. It is very stage green video but it still offers great value. This is his webpage: https://www.highlyoptimized.me/ His free guide for using cannabis for consciousness: https://www.highlyoptimized.me/Conscious-Cannabis-guide It's better than nothing but nothing outstanding

Now it won't be so cheap to say you are awake. How conscious are you? Do you really wanna know? Let's do an EXAM! Many years ago Leo recommended the following exercises as handy tool for self-assesment. So the exam begins Now! There are 30 Questions or Facets in the video. Please grab a paper and a pencil. Question: Have I awoken to ............? From 0 to 10 how deeply have I awoken to ............? (For reference take 0 as nothing and 10 as the facet you have awoken more deeply to. As our personal experience is all we have and this is in the end for self evaluation. Let's say you are a pro of no-self, your favourite facet, then that becomes your upper limit and contrast it with other facets like love for example. This is helpful and reduces self-bias and deception) I have experienced this facet in agregate with ............ (Facets shine light onto each others and having awakenings to different facets simultaneously opens up another whole game. Maybe you awoke to love and to intelligence but you are lacking the intelligence in love and the love in intelligence. This goes on in complexity and richness with agregates of 3 facets, 4 facets and so on) Extra points: Have you discovered more facets to Awakening? Good luck! Please report your results

Pure Love is Masculine Pure Bliss is Femenine Like the Sun and its warm rays. You feel the warmth because you are getting close to the black hole of infinite Love. Once you merge in it, and become Love itself, you will radiate bliss into all corners of existence like a self nurturing circuit. As deeply as you can, in contraction and expansion pulses. Like a heart beating Light of Consciousness.

Eating it is more conducive for spiritual purposes than smoking. There is science behind this. It seems that the liver converts THC in a pseudo-psychedelic, something that doesn't happen while smoking it.

My only advice is regarding time. It's a lot! This really surprised me about LSD and was the only thing that made me uncomfortable. I was not used to such lengthy 12h trips and 16h to normal state. Take it in the morning after digesting a good breakfast, so that you can eat at midnight when you have hunger. Tripping at night in LSD is amazing but it really destroys your night cycle and you'll be very tired the next days. Although you mustr try it at least once, maybe not the first time

You seem experienced so not compulsory. Have someone in stand by that knows you are tripping and can offer face to face help in case you need it. There are plenty of posts about this in the forum. Search them in the search function. I'd say the main difference is time, 2x mushrooms trip. It's also cleaner and more electric and yogic. Yeah sure, not in the come up though. It also comes by waves, so when you are stable in the trip feel free to walk in nature but don't drive or walk for a long time and get maybe some water. Best way is sublingual for maybe 15min or when you feel like just eating it go ahead. This way acts faster.

Hope you get better soon. If it's here to stay, hope you can live with it in the best possible way. ❤️Lots of Love❤️

I laughed way too hard !

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. What a change of state in just 5min. Thanks for sharing. I'm very fan of the Wim Hof method and other pranayamas ,this is gooooood

I'd like to hit here with the: Please Leo! Salvia has no similarities to any other substance I've tried. Absolutely unique. The most similar drugs in effect to Salvia are extremely poisonous like Datura, with life long damaging effects. Salvia on the other hand is completeley safe healthwise. Consider trying Sage Goddess Emerald Essence salvia tincture. It may offer a more suitable approach for the kind of work you are interested in. Please consider using Salvia again. It is the key for understanding the mechanisms of how reality is constructed. There are too many trip reports of people living alternative lifes for years, both as humans and non human entities. I have personally felt this immense potential of thread zipper machinery existential construction on Salvia. Reality cracks and opens up. Why not see what Salvia has to offer? The last psychedelic in the rabbit hole... The untouchable one

Recommendations about How to: Do it with a bong and a torch lighter. Bong to cool the air. Torch lighter necessary because you need a 200º degres or above to fully burn all the chemicals in the salvia leaves or extract. About extracts... It's a mess and it's very hard to know how much you are getting. Stick to a supplier, start slow and go up in potency and quantity. 5x to 10x to 20x. Important considerations, people have wildly different tolerance levels to salvia. You may not feel anything with 10x or you may loose your mind with 10x. So better to explore carefully in this regard. As Salvia, in the United States, is not regulated under the Controlled Substances Act. I think its safe to show the safest most profesional and secure vendor. If any mod doesn't like this feel free to delete de post, but I don't think it breaks any forum rule, legal company in the usa since 1989 and legal substance in most countries due to its unique pharmacology that doesn't have any similarity it with other psychedelics http://sagewisdombotanicals.com/ This company is pushing forward the research on salvia and they have invented a product they have called: Sage Goddess Emerald Essence The point is that smoking salvia is usually very strong, very quick and very shocking. Taking it orally is a pain in the ass. Chewing leaves for hours to get a mild effect. However, this Salvia tincture could be the key to experiencing Salvia in a new way.

Happy to hear you have made the step. Sorry for being too confrontational. I rarely am, except when Salvia is concerned. I prefer to sound rude than maybe giving the wrong image about Salvia. I'm more than happy to offer advice on the topic. If you are searching for a high quality written source then I recommend you: Sage Spirit - Salvia Divinorum and the Entheogenic Experience by Martin W. Ball Salvia Divinorum: Doorway to Thought-Free Awareness by J. D. Arthur I'll give you extracts here and there of work I've published in the forum and recollected. The most profound trip I've ever had on Saliva: Title: Channel from me to I I like to sum up my trips with a picture to get the essence and remember better. This was the picture I choose about that trip. I'll also post one of my first trips on Salvia, never before shared, for you:

God Infinity No seer, no seeing, no seen. Ineffable. Dreamt into existence. Loopy, self-defined, self-limited, paradoxical and tautological. Absolute Infinity No

There are days you feel good and there are days you don't feel that good. In life, there are days when you feel better than others. This is The Law of Life. We'll get everything. There are days you know why you feel bad and others that you don't know why. Nevertheless, you feel the way you do, despite understanding it or not. There are days you know why you feel good, and others that you don't know why you feel good. What do you do when you feel bad? This may seem a trivial question, but it's not. All logic and mind masturbation flies out of the window when you feel down. So do you feel aversion to feeling bad and do things to change your state into a more desirable one? Should you just go through it mindfully? Feeling and letting it be the way it is? Should one get beyond like and dislike? Establishing oneself in equanimity? Should one enjoy the contrast of life? Accepting the nature of being human in a full embrace and love for existence? Be mindful of answering from a happy state. Most of those answers don't correlate with other states. You may think they do but they don't when you are in them, you see clearly and you are humbled. If certain conditions are not met your life philosophy just doesn't fly, that's a hard pill to swallow but is nevertheless the case.

I can't express how profound this one lecture has been for me. The psychedelic might have helped but this is spot on

You are doing salvia because it is the only psychedelic legal in your area. But it's not the right tool for you. It is easier to get through the struggle of finding psychedelics, in the streets or in the research chemical market, than dealing with Salvia as your first psychedelic and then just trowing away all this domain of investigation called psychedelics. Because Salvia doesn't feel good, nor it is easy to handle either by newbies or experts. It's always intense and involves a lot of discomfort. The benefits are good but so outside your paradigm and past experiences that you will not be able to integrate them properly. Salvia is not a good option for you. Why are you so much afraid of finding real psychedelics? See what limitations, fears, anxieties are stopping you. Asses mindfully the risks and do your best to find mushrooms/truffles AL-LAD/LSD or even MDMA or Ketamine. All of this are a good entry point, but definetely not Salvia. It is better to wait and not do any psychedelics than to try Salvia and just get the wrong image and taste of what psychedelics are

This feels too much of a personal question that you are trying to divert to the macroscale. This question is about you. How did having the parents you had affect you? How did your economic situation shape you as a person? What can you do to mitigate and grow beyond these difficulties, using them as a trampoline? How can I let go of the envy I have for others that were more lucky in life? How can I heal my inner child that still suffers from all the conditioning in my early years? What is the source of my suffering? What am I avoiding to look at? What is the most painfull aspect of this situation? How can I accept what happened to me? How can I love myself? How can I love my parents that didn't know any better? And so on.. Btw there is a specific answer to your initial question but it is not what will quench your thirst. Doing the work above will.

Thank you all for your answers. I finally figured out what was happening to me. After doing shadow work it seems that pretty nasty stuff came from places I didn't even know where there. Parts of myself that I had denied, repressed, hidden, hated, fought against, changed, silenced... Just appeared again into the light of my awareness. However, before the fragmentations fully came up to the surface, a myriad of feelings came before. Like some ice cube from deep inside the ocean just started rising towards the surface. The purge was unexpected and felt bad honestly. I didn't understand why out of nowhere I felt so empty, depressed, unmotivated, my mind kidnapped by many long forgotten fantasies.... Afterwards, I started seeing those in the shadow fragments of myself that where coming to light. That fragment of me that had to be brutally shut up to keep going on with my university studies and finish what I started even though some voice kept saying that was not meant for me. That lost fragment of myself is being reintagrated now. As Carl Jung says to integrate the shadow there is no easy technique fit for all but rather it's like the art of diplomacy. Shadow integration is then, a deeply personal proccess of negotiation with oneself. Another fragment of myself that popped was just the incredible ammount of sexual hunger for other women, as well as this need of being a player. It felt like this primitive masculine women conqueror drive, long lost and locked up, was for the first time freed. A part of myself that I strictly repressed in my early years of the spiritual path for being unholy and lustful. This fragment of my psyche was even more denied and repressed in order to have a healthy happy long lasting relationship with my woman. Which makes total sense but there is a price in pushing parts of your personality into the unconscious because they are unacceptable to society, family, friends or partner. That price is wholeness and individuation; and finally consciousness, self-awareness, self-understanding, self-acceptance and self-love. The process of negotiation is obviously on, to integrate in a healthy and holistic way all aspects of my psyche. Shadow work is very wild and I'm just dipping my toes in the water. I feel more human and humbled. Discovering that you are not the rigtheous image that you have of yourself is tough. Realising you have this virtuous self image because you pushed all your bad qualities or unacceptable traits into your deep unconscious, is even harder. In the unconscious your monsters and demons grow, pulling the threads and sabotaging your life. Kidnapping your mind and actions for some time, because as parts of yourself they inevitable will manifest sooner or later. When the ego, a fragmented part of your psyche goes back online will not understand why you did what you did. I want to study this career and make this business work, why am I sabotaging myself? This is what I really want! Will say the ego. If I love her why do I feel atraction for other women? I really love her, she means everything to me! Will say the ego. However, the full psyche and human-self, as the compilation of all fragments, is more self contradictory than the little cherry picked psychic parts that ended up making your conscious personality, ego and righteous self image. Till all fragments are not healed, worked through, cried into and out of them, integrated healthily and unified, there is no hope for wholeness and individuation. You will never be yourself, as a human! Not even mentioning anything transhuman. You won't be yourself, wow. That's failing as a human. What job more do you have in here, than to discover who you are and live the best life in tune with who you are? How can you do that if you don't wanna look inside that hidden dark humid closet in your psyche? Maybe its time to clean those corpses you have buried in the shadows...

There is no difference between the earth and this body. I can even eat by placing (the food) on the ground or anywhere. The rules of conduct, devotion, cleanliness, dutifulness, etc. are needed for your learning; that is why things like these happen in me. ~ Sri Anandamayi Ma

You may want to remove this body from your mind. But never will this body go away, goes away, and had gone away. One who loved this body once cannot wipe out the remembrance of this body even if he tries a hundred times. This body is ever in his memory and will remain as well. ~ Sri Anandamayi Ma
