@Sincerity ❤️❤️❤️

Yes I have siddhis and shaktis but won't talk much about that. Moreover, I don't see how that is the "true measure", maybe there's some correlation but that's all. Many occultists have them and don't reach those states.

Salvia states, DMT breakthroughs, k-holes, and heavy breakthrough doses of most psychedelics. You're not gonna meditate your way to a salvia breakthrough, not gonna happen. Probably the most epic state you ca reach Only via meditation is classic Cessation or the Reboot of Consciousness. Other interesting states include Jhanas, non-doing and Equanimity. Imo, Psychedelics are King. But I love yoga, meditation and contemplating, they all synergize. And I love doing yoga and meditation on psychedelics as well.

@Leo Gura Thanks Leo. Thank you for everything. It has become a theme in my life to be Awakening and then realising f*ck this is what Leo has been talking about for years. Now I get it, so obvious! Jeez It's a bit frustrating because I'll never be able to payback what you gave me, it's impossible. It's quite an asymmetry, you gave me the tools, insights and inspiration for realising Truth, Consciousness, God, Infinity and Love. And all I con do is to express gratitude and give monetary donations. It's absurd. I know, I'd probably reach the same on my own but you literally saved me Decades of work by clearing the path for so many of us. After this Love rant, really wishing you a very nice day Leo.

I'm very surprised, DMT is Top Psychedelic Tier. No doubt about it. As powerful as 5meos and different to them in many ways. I absolutely recommend it. As Good as it gets. DMT is a God Molecule.

@Ry4n thanks for the info. Lots of Love

Honestly about 70% were spontaneous Awakenings. Working home in my computer, in a train, walking in the forest... It just hits you like a lightning shock. The rest 30% are while doing spiritual practices. Sometimes you fucking ace it and you reach those states, but that certainly is not my objective, I just do them for their own sake and to work in my baseline consciousness.

Yes, I've had. It certainly is possible but very few reach. My approach has been to try every everything I could and being serious. I'm also naturally hardwired for peak consciousness. So the combination of both factors has allowed me to reach those states "sober" Realistically you won't do it and there are states unreachable without psychedelics. In the same way there are states you can reach in yoga that are unreachable in meditation or States in meditation unreachable through psychedelics, although there are many commonalities. Do you have an specific question? In that case I can give you a more direct answer. If you're asking if it's possible: yes it is but just for a few, there's a luck component and other restrictions. Comparing states of consciousness is quite a challenge because some are qualitatively and irreducibly distinct.

@Ry4n I'll try it one day. Thanks for sharing. Some doubts that came: What is your methodology? When do you ingest them to combine the peak? What is the ROA? How is the comedown and post? How many times you've tried it?

I took note, thanks.

That looks quite bad. I'll research again the topic, thanks for the resources.

Yes, it's real but it should be a by-product of your path or secondary pursuit. It's very rare to achieve the highest consciousness states via Magick but it's certainly possible, Damien Echols is an example.

@John3596 You gotta explore other Awakening facets. Also contemplating what Love is. In case you are into psychedelics, trying MDMA could give you that pure Love feeling. If you do so, try a good dose, the point is to breakthrough and it's a very easy going trip. As a personal note, I also struggle with the Love facet. I'm so much more talented in all other areas. I also miss that pure Love in my Awakenings... We are all different, we cannot choose what we are good in, we may be naturally geared towards some States of Consciousness over others and that is fine, we have to make peace with it.

It is so but we still have to be truthful and accurate. Cuba overall is horrible but some corners are good and we cannot deny that either, because it would lower our understanding. I don't deny it's overall shitiness nor I deny the few good parts that system has. That is what you did, you omitted the detail to give consistency to the overall truthful point, but there's such an exception, don't be sloppy and shrug your shoulders with the so what. Probably education is one of the few things that works in Cuba, let's not take them that.

Ahahahahaha The reason why I shared the video and in my study of civilization, psychology and religion, I've come to the conclusion that Hindu Civilization is the most mature. Part of the reason is because is the oldest living tradition, by far, and still kicking. The Kumbh Mela is the largest human gathering. Regarding the Hindu Psyche, it has lots of inherited unconscious tools and myths to deal with life, this has been reported by many but I have found particularly interesting the study of Carl Jung in this regard. They also have quite advanced points on gender and sex (tantra science) their culture is old they had to assimilate it and integrate it. Moreover, speaking about religion they have such a rich blend of paths and they tolerate all religions actually, a prove is that in its history the mysticism has blended and they have incorporated the insights whenever there have been contact points. In its metaphysics, they may be the only religion to figure out the nature of Reality and Self, which is described as SatChitAnanda=Truth Consciousness Love. My point is that I feel most people are unaware of the Hindu cultural richness and that from an unbiased perspective, they probably are the most mature and complete human system still alive. Of course you can design better systems, but those are abstractions, I'm talking as per now, an alive societal system. It's just a pity how prosecuted they have been, since the British invasion many ecosystems have been destroyed. Few truly Hindu ecosystems are still alive: Tiruvannamalai, Vrindavan and Varanasi.

Cuba is a disaster, but they do train among the best doctors in the world. I personally know Cuban doctors and they tell me all education is money-free for all (you can even pick your degree and there are no mark requisites) and of high quality in Cuba. They barely could eat meat (the state only gave soy, because it's cheap vegetal protein) and they were forced to emigrate to have a decent life. My point is that yes Cuba is a disaster but the user's point on doctors and education is not BS, it really is accurate, but certainly cherry picked. And you know that education is probably one of the few tangible good impacts communism has had and it links nicely with why intellectuals are attracted to this ideology.

It's a 1min video

Inspired by the videos of Gerhard Fourie, I would like to reflect back upon my journey after finishing 500mg of 5-MeO-MALT Firstly I would like to say that 5-MeO-MALT is not like other psychedelics. What you hit on Malt and the way it hits, it is very rarely found in other psychedelics, let alone with other techniques, to consistently and directly make you more CONSCIOUS, more consciousness in consciousness, that's how I would explain it, although you will have to experience it for yourself through dozens and hundres of trips. With time, it is like entering into a carpentry, one individual sees only wood, and the carpinter master sees the different types of wood, how it was cut, the whole process since seed going through life and being cut, how to cut it and then process it, make furniture out of it and conserve it over time, mantain it and so on. In the same way, it is with psychedelics but some domains of inquiry into Reality are more profound wood and obviously this is also the case within the domain of psychedelics. In the end, it boils down to direct experience with how it ends up afecting you and how your life changes after that. Many moments while tripping that I hope I could communicate to you but you'll have to live them to get the full taste. There has been a lot of purification while working with the entheogen. In multilevel, from mind, to body, feelings, perceptions, sensations, existential aspects of this moment that are purified and reconnected, rehonored, reunited. Not as a new union that is somehow generated by the imaginary substance you just took but because it is actually the case, it is true. This purguing and katharsis has been intense and I'm still going through it. I sometimes feel if there will be an end to cleansing oneself, to healing and self love. Self-Love is one of the main themes of Malt. It has this beautiful sweet rose loving energetic embracement and cosmic rejoice and relinking to it. This property in fact has been deepening and opening like a rose in every trip. This self-love takes many forms surely but as different tastes of icecream is still icecream, I am becoming more conscious of way I can love myself and others as myself because we are one self being many selves and many selves being one Self. When you start discovering love you realize it is the answer to all problems and questions. The best thing about it is that in truth you don't have to make it more loving or love it more, because it is Already Love. Love is a very good point of Malt. However, I have to say that Malt seems to lack for me the full God Component that I'm looking to fully awaken to. This is the reason why I'll try very soon 5-Meo-DMT because I have the intuition that it will trigger God effectively and efficiently, they call it the God molecule for something. You also need to understand that even though Malt is extraordinary, if you eat your favourite dessert every day you will finish sick of it. That's why exploring the wide buffet of psychedelics can provide variety in tastes, flavours, states, spaces, energy, colours, vibrance, aliveness, presence, holism, brilliance, self-abidance. I do not recommend this only with psychedelics but with any methodology or lack there of, to awaken. Explore! As Antonio Machado, a Spanish writter once said: "Traveler, your footprints are the only road, nothing else. Traveler, there is no road; you make your own path as you walk. As you walk, you make your own road, and when you look back you see the path you will never travel again. Traveler, there is no road; only a ship’s wake on the sea." I like to condense experiences with photos that convey the more emotional and tacit aspect of experience that connot be communicated through symbolic language, although a poet does literally that. Poetry is an attempt of the imposible but it is irresistibly done out of Love. Malt is very wavy oceanic sunrise & sunset, like the poem, like the pictures. It definetely has mode me more conscious both in my daily live and obviously in the trips themselves. It has lead to such crazy Awakenings. How would I describe such levels of Awakening? Imagine you thought you arrived to the end of Awakening, just to Awake; and relize that was only the beginning. This is capable, and Malt has allowed me to do so in synergy and symbiosis with the other aspects of my life. Although everything has its lights and shadows. And so does Malt. What are the down sides of Malt? Honestly by the Malt itself not many but by the use and what you make out of it quite a lot. The potential for self-deception is always there and the potential of making mistakes as shit happens in everything you need also to be intelligent and wise with your approach and relationship with it. How? It is an ongoing process it will itself guide you but you'll have to learn and a big part of learning is by mistakes and suffering but also Love is a great Teacher. You'll get both in life and also with Malt. Everything according to it's nature. The purging can be intense but it is like medicine in a way, tastes bad but you know it is good and feels nurturing. Another negative potential, as with any such strong psychedelics, is the risk of bypassing. It is genuinly a shorcut in many ways but also a double handed sword. In a way it is not an error or bug it is a feautre. Human life gets into a differ context while in such states of consciousness. This has to be balanced with outside work, a good and stable life. In a stable and fulfilling life, Awakening becomes easier. Shivapuri Baba I have also explored the substance in other contexts. This involves some risks but with experience you learn to asses them and deal with them. So in your confidence forged by experience you think, what would feel like to be in a nudist beach while on Malt? How would it be going to the mountain and swim in the river with Malt? How does it feel like tripping with other people in different scenarios? Inside and outside of your comfort zone? How does MALT make me live certain experiences of life? How does it feel like to do this on Malt? I have many trip reports here published on those trips. Malt has also made me more intelligent. I suspect this is for its holism property combined with its stability. It is a good generator of insights. I feel my brain interconnecting deeper the following days after a good Malt trip. Literaly I can feel the different parts of my brain with river branch like connections. It is a bit painfull but it also feels amazing, like rewiring my own brain, like flexing muscle you can also think so deep and so hard that your brain itself will ache and grow stronger, the same way as in the gym. Malt is good for mind gimnastics indeed In terms of sensorial and spacious experience. It definetely has made everything more clear and sharp. Like going from 1080p to 4K to 360º, everything feels more itself, like you are a cat with ultra instincs, alert and relaxed at the same time. Okay, I'll wrap it up. Malt is a unique Entheogen that is very useful for Awakening and Feeling. It has a rose femenine vibe of openeness and gentleness to its unfoldment although it can be brutal as mother nature but in keeping things in balance with a caring and rejuvenating approach. I do think it has the potential to make an impact in the world, if studied properly by psychiatrist, biochemist, psychologist, therapists, coaches and philosophers. We are still in the dark ages of psychedelic research. Doing my bit, I find Malt gentle, I could have handled it as one of my firsts substances if starting with low doses. I really don't feel like you have to build your way up to Malt with other psychedelics. I find it gentle enough and easy to work with, start low and keep experimenting. LSD and mushrooms can be much more difficult to handle in many circumstances, more loopy and twisted. So if you want a good psychedelic to become proffecient at and explore even from the very beginning with intelligent caution Malt is the best I have found.

One of the worst feelings a psychonaut, in the process of Awakening can have, is the following: The substance(s) and doses are mostly irrelevant, hitting a new peak Awakening is at God's mercy and grace. I'm reaching a plateau lately that how much 5meo I consume or be it a novel substance, it's unlikely I'll get the Consciousness I truly desire. I just want more and more. It feels like maxing out with meditation and yoga, they can't bring more consciousness up to a certain point, what if I wante more? Same exact thing with psychedelics. Drop me in a bed and inject me drugs all you want, it's not the substance anymore, I've explored the landscape, I can have weird and exotic experiences, I can trip balls, I can get traumatized, I can overdose, whatever, but that's not the pure consciousness increase Once a certain threshold, more consciousness is grace, it's a gift, it's almost acausal. Your already Infinite Mind and boundless Conscioussness, digging itself out through all its holes to find an ace, to break the limit, to become more conscious, to hack itself out, as you are aware that you are both imagining the limit and the limit, how can I break myself out, self-liberation, this is the paradox. The Truth is that it just keeps getting harder and harder to do so. Before a few meditations, some yoga, some trips. But after some point... You know all the tricks, you hit yourself with yourself and you play solitary to increase your level, in an infinite loophole just for its own sake. There's no more shortcuts, just an existential unexplainable unquenchable thirst for more Consciousness, more God, more Infinity...

Another good idea that ends in the drawer I guess.

@emil1234 Yes, now I understand better. Thanks for taking the time to explain it.

@Natasha Tori Maru Yes, that's a good frame. I'm not gonna split hairs hehe

Mmm, maybe calling integrity existential is a bit too much of a stretch for my taste, but without a doubt, integrity plays a decisive role in our approach and effectiveness towards existential matters. Ralston shares such a novel perspective on integrity, I never cognised it from that point of view. I really enjoyed the physical example of integrity. It's clear he contemplates from scratch. Thanks for sharing.
