I am waiting for the: I'm Awake, I'll leave the body in 21 days ask me anything Till the possibility of MahaSamadhi, of becoming so conscious that you literally die, your vessel cannot handle it, you are not close to the higher degrees of Awakening. That's when I would know if any of these posts are real, for the moment I'll sit back and wait till that real post comes. -
Go for the gold. I don't have direct experience on 5meoDMT but as my research goes I would still recommend 5meoMalt to begin with. It will be easier, nausea can be a thing on classic 5meoDMT and the duration may be too short also. Malt has 0 nausea and lasts for 2h and is very gentle. It will guide your purification and prepare you for spiritual practices, other psychedelics and life itself. People have found Malt easier to work with than 5meodmt. Here is a comparison for you:

Good to know Classic DMT or 5meoDMT? could you explain more about this, I'm interested in how they both interact

LOL What a crazy trip Could you do a trip report? I would love to listen that story

you are a machine of insights I didn't get this message when I first read it I have been all day understanding it deeper and deeper, like chewing a good chewing gum

Do Salvia instead As mindbending with no health risks

If you are into any kind of yoga, meditation, partying, pranayama, contemplation, psychedelics... Tonight is the night As there are seasons to sow seeds and then to reap them. As there are days in the month where the oceans are still and days when the tide rises. So there are nights more conducive for Spirituality than others. Tonight is one of such nights and you are invited to stay awake the whole night and do an intesive spiritual retreat. I won't enter into why this night and all the relative discussions. How being the closer new moon to the equinox and the equilibirum between day and night affects the individual but you are free to do this research on your own. We also have the beginning of Ramadan this Sunday, so many independent mystics from different traditions have detected that this time of the year is conducive for spiritual practices. Take advantage of it. Also know that thousands of people will be doing spiritual practices tonight at the same time. This also makes it easier for you to enter into the same space. It has been observed that days where thousands of people arround the world meditate together reduces terrorism and violence. Beyond all the research you can find, if you had any mystical experience you know how we are all connected in a web and how you can be benefited or affected by others in ways that don't fit the materialist paradigm. It is for all these reasons that if you are serious into this work you may not want to lose this opportunity. There is also a reset in the body mind when you stay the whole night awake, it can change your wiring in a way that other practices can't.

The raw results of the new AI Claude 3 in their three different versions: And a very sober analysis:
-
Both. Make your human life the best you can make it. Be a master in all walks of life This is how it is supposed to be. Destroying the house to see the sky. Exactly so, not building a good foundation to destroy. You need to first have an ego to trascend it

I'm so happy you liked it. He's the leading world expert on Human Behaviour. One of the few that really understands what humans are and why humans do what we do. -

For you the main risk is to destroy the ego before you have even built it Carl Jung used to say that the first half of your life should be used to build a healthy authentic ego. Being fully yourself, your best most authentic self. The other half of your life should be used to dismantle your ego and self. I'm talking from direct experience. Being involved in heavy spiritual workd and psychedelics at a young age will interfere with developing as a healthy human. You are trying to build and destroy at the same time a house. Is this wrong? No Does this pose new challenges than to people that are just destroying it in the second half of their life? Yes Make very sure you have your life well set up. You have a good profession and career for yourself. As well as healthy relationships. Evolving in Spiral Dynamics and doing deep psychological work like shadow work. Living alone, cleaning the toilet, doing the landry, cooking your food, paying the bills, the house and so on... A little story for you in Italian: For the rest in English:

Oh I love it As a hispanic proverb says: If Mom had wheels, she would be a bicycle. I did not say that. I said they were not my priority. We do not pick what we like and what we dislike. It just happened that I did love truth from a very young age just for its own sake and above all my other preferences. It does not make sense in the way you have strawmanned me Yes I sometimes love feeling special. I used to love feeling special when I was a kid. I thought I was so intelligent. Yet when I saw the real intelligent people I was crushed. Discovering I was not in the elite of intelligence destroyed all my self image. It was hard for some years. However, in my pursuit of Truth I have been feeling quite special and I continue to feel so. Let's close this with your quote: I really like it. I never saw it from that perspective

Just two months ago, Gemini Ultra was launched, surpassing ChatGPT in nearly every aspect. Now, with the introduction of Claude 3, we have a model that outperforms Gemini Ultra in every aspect. Maybe the new ChatGTP version is better but Claude has surely risen the level while also making Google look pretty bad. It is funny to think how Google has been leading AI research for almost a decade with Deep Mind. However, lately they have been beaten by Microsoft and now punched in the face by Claude just months after their new release. Now ChatGPT has more pressure to make the new version even better, as Claude 3 has shaken the market out of nowhere. It is exciting to see new competitors out of nowhere instead of the classic giants brawling.

I am against investing in crypto. Have you ever invested in the euro €? or in the dollar $ ? Or do you use them as money because it is easier than bartering? Cryptocoins are inevitably the money of the future and it can't be otherwise. This is obvious to anyone with a tech background and a bit of economic vision. Is it still cooking? Surely... give it some decades or centuries but it will be the case, no doubt about it.

I desire truth because I am truth. The same way life wants to reproduce because it is alive- That there is suffering in "everything" doesn't mean that suffering is the source of my love for truth. You made a connection that maybe could be generalized but is not always the case, certainly. Since I had my first awakening, when I was 12 years old: I was self aware for the first time and just one thing came to my mind: What is Truth? This question dropped like a Nuclear Bomb Since that moment, I have been immersing myself deeper and deeper into Truth. Well yes, once you are having sex you are not searching to have sex because you are having it. Here you united again suffering with truth seeking. I want infinite happiness, of course. But so do I want infinite truth. And if I had to pick one, guess which one I would pick? This is not only a philosophy, in my everyday life I pick truth even though it may make me feel shity and goes against my agenda. Just today I made a difficult decision that could seriously impact my future job opportunities but decided not to cut corners and be truthful. Why? Because I love truth more than I love love. Till I awaken to the fact that they are identical, this will keep being the case. I can't talk for others but I can talk for myself and I'm telling you that as a fish was born to swim I was born for Truth and this has nothing to do with suffering, despite wanting of course to be free from suffering and live in paradise.

Everything is His, entirely His. What did you bring with you at birth? Were you not empty-handed? And all you have acquired — is it yours, really? All is His and whatever happens is His Will. Endeavour to maintain this attitude. Saying: ‘It is mine’ you grasp at everything— this is the way to court sorrow. Call out to Him because all is His. To yearn thus for Him is real prayer. All that the world can yield — what is its worth? Have you not discerned down the years the inevitable course of events? In His store-house, where there are riches, relations, the vigour of youth, there are also old age, death, disease and poverty. You will have to experience them all. In this world there is no room for undisturbed ease; don’t you see that there is distress at every step? Does it not dawn on you even now to whom you belong? This serious illness of yours, is anyone suffering it for you? Can anyone even share it? Why all these worries? All is His; all is He ; to leave everything to Him must be your sole endeavour. Invoke His Name, meditate on Him; ever abide in the remembrance of Him. Not praying for anything that is of this world, strive to abandon yourself without reserve to Him. In Him no want of any kind exists, no pain, no agony — in Him is all attainment, the summit of fulfillment, rest, repose, tranquility. - Ma Anandamayi. Matri Vani 0078.

Warning, don't misunderstand what I will say. You should have a life purpose and create a profound meaning and vision for yourself. You should control your life and make it go where you want it to go, to the best of your abilities. However, as a matter of fact you have no control over what happens in the Universe. Or said in other words, your egoic control over reality is very limited. See all the ways you try to manipulate reality, all the planing and organising you do in your own mind yet Reality is a wild beast and it is hard to tame. In a way reality is Sovereign and it will not bend its head to you unless it wants. The individual is very limited, one has to recognize this. One should definitely exert oneself to the limit of its own capacities and volition. However, one's ability to consciously manipulate the space of individual possibilities in order to align reality with personal biases is indeed very limited. I realized this while travelling with my girl and some friends. You can be planning for months a trip yet the trip NEVER goes according to plan. This doesn't mean you shouldn't plan, this means that one needs to accept the fact that life won't happen according to plan and that the control one has is limited. Reality always surprises you and flows in whatever direction it wants despite your best efforts. It is not only that you wanted A but happened B, it is that finally Φ ends happening. Something you would never had thought of in hundreds of years, the permutations are mind blowing. We like to think greatly of ourselves but everything is in a very fine equilibrum. These unexpected things end up adding one to each other, as Φ happened now I must do Ψ and so on. When I reflect back, there where times that my whole week changed because of this. Something happened then I couldn't make the landry which then meant a reschedule of a future task and I end up at the end of the week reflecting at all the unpredictable phenomena that came to be. Has this ever happened to you? This awakening surprisingly gives a lot of peace and not powerlessness, as an individual you do your best and leave the rest to the universe. You cannot do more honestly and therefore you learn to be flexible. With will persistence you know you will end up succeeding but you are aware that your power is finite and limited. You stop holding rigid believes about how reality may or may not unfold and in a way start trusting how the wave is flowing while surfing in it. Having said this, I know many people will post their predefined answer and won't bother to read what I just said. It's fine I sometimes do the same. Exercise: Next time you plan and reality surprises you, become aware of it, notice it deeply and reflect how it came to be. It is a juicy insight. The understanding of control is the last barrier to effortless beingness.

That is a gross assumption. I did actually get in this work out of a pure desire for Truth, a burning love for Truth. And I'm sure many others did as well.

Agree 100% Personal development and shadow work must go hand with hand in the Awakening process. Otherwise you will struggle needlessly. In my opinion, yellow stage Spiral Dynamics is a minimum requirement for spiritual work. SD green spirituality is very cringe, from yellow up things start making more sense. If you don't have tools to deal with all your inner demons that will be brought to light by consciousness expanding, you will suffer intensely without knowing why. You need tools for katharsis and spiritual purging, given that you are western, the works of Carl Jung and many others on the area of shadow work will be most suitable. This for me are the compulsary pre requisits for real spiritual work. Maybe also, but more biased, a vegetarian diet and sitting in lotus or half lotus. As well as martial arts or extreme sports, are in my experience, very synergic with the awakening unfoldment. If you want to awaken to a serious degree I would take into consideration what I have said. This is what I would have loved to hear in the beginning of my journey.

Each one of you in accordance with your own particular line of approach, must seize the time, the moment that will reveal to you the eternal relationship by which you are united to the Infinite: this is the revelation of Supreme Union. Supreme Union means the whole universe is within you and you are in it, and moreover there will be no more occasion to speak of a universe, for it will then no longer exist. Whether you say it exists or does not exist, or that it is beyond both existence and non-existence, or even beyond that - as you please: the important thing is that it should become revealed, be it in whatever form. Having found that "Moment", at that point of time - when it is found - you will know your Self. To know your Self would imply the revelation at that very same instant of what your father and mother - and the entire universe - in reality are. It is that Moment, which links up the whole of creation. For to know yourself does not mean to know your body only, it Signifies the full revelation of That which eternally Is - the Supreme Father, Mother, Beloved, Lord and Master - the Self. - Ma Anandamayi. Excerpt from the Dailogue and Discourse with Ma Anandamayi. Richard Lannoy.

Nothing is in control in the ultimate sense. Hence the paradoxes. In the relative sense you do have control and will, but is very limited that is all. One has to recognise this. What can be done, let it be done, what can't be done, let it be. -
Where there is the continuum of pure thought, there definitely is a path to the diminution of karmas. As long as the goal is not attained, the fruit of action, non-action and wrong action has to be experienced - MA.
