I would really like to see something of this kind. Hopefully Leo does a steel man of Religions and a high quality lecture on Comparative Religion. I've been researching the topic for many years now and there's so many unearthed potential in it that nobody is talking about.

I agree, James is one of the most intelligent, openminded and easy to talk psychonauts in Youtube. I would really love to see Leo in his podcast and I'm sure they would make a great combo. This could be huge honestly.

Oh yes, most surely a similar phenomenon happens for each individual. For example, low doses of 5meo can be more uncomfortable as ego hasn't fully gone, whereas 5mg more would have solved the issue. I consider this theory of sweet spots to be quite accurate. Another example, low doses of LSD are more conducive for spiritual work than higher ones, in my experience, as loopy thoughts and overstimulation impair the quality of your spiritual work. So this is something that each psychonaut has to discover for itself. This framework becomes of even greater importance when combinatng substances.

@Someone here I feel it makes the forum more personal and real. In our online activities it's easy to forget that we are talking to real people with real lifes. Today I had this awakening while watching the sunrise and I wrote the post while on the bus. So yeah, this is it. God is present, always already Present

One looks here and there Inside one's faculties and outside to the world No matter the experience One can feel God is here God is there God is this And God is that In everyone and in everything God is present One is left appreciating God's Gameplay In all coming and going, the eternal One, the Infinite One, Reveals itself in ever new shapes and modes of expression A bottomless end, an unfindable beginning Infinity becomes the naked fact of every breath One is left, to praise the lord To shout it's glory till the last breath Glorious is God! Glorious is God!!! Glorious is God!!!!!!!! Oh my beloved Closer than myself I AM

@Husseinisdoingfine Relieved to see you are starting to get to the other side. See you cannot heal in the same place that made you sick. University has beaten the life out of you. Now it's time for self love

I don't know what you mean. To break down my experiences per dose? Not necessarily, more is not better always, I am a believer that with all substances there are a sweet spots. For example, my highest Malt dose (more than 30mg) wasn't quite a deep trip, it was just uncomfortably energetic and karmic cleansing. Whereas in 20mg trips, I've had Awakenings so deep I cannot communicate. As you work with Malt it's true that some changes may happen in response to it. It's also clear that as a rule of thumb the higher the dose the deeper the trip. That's curious. It could be the case for him. I just can tell him to change ROA, to see if the chemical hits him different. Otherwise tell him to combine it with other substances as it can sometimes unlock dimensions in the experience that will later stick when taken alone.

Wait till you access 🕊️ bird consciousness

That's weird, maybe something to do with the vape idk. Never experienced something like that. Malt is consistent for me in terms of dose. There is always a range and difference in trips but they all fall into a common ground regarding dose.

@Husseinisdoingfine When you hit rockbottom you will kill yourself or trampoline out of this situation. Unless you are wise enough to get out of this downward spiral, ask for clinical help, change your habits and just force yourself to do what you know will make you feel good instead of entertaining this self pitty. Because a point will come where those behaviours will do you instead of you doing them and then it will be too late. Time is running out but you still have some maneuver options. If your life was an airplane, all the warning alarms would be beeping. I encourage you to be the captain of your life and pull the pan out of the fire.

Imo, university is overrated but a necessary step for your human growth. I would have serious doubts about university if I lived in the US or in any place where I had to pay absurd money for my education, putting myself in risky financial situations. You live in Rome, I know Sapienza is a good university so I would pick something meaningful for you and get a degree. It will do you good, so much growth happens in the university ecosystem, as your'e exposed to many new experiences and forced to study hard. As some background I'm studying two university degrees simultanously (telecommunications engineering and computer science) and this is my last year before graduating.

I've been doing some soul searching regarding why am I alive. What's the meaning of my existence and so on. I discovered my meaning to live is having a highly conscious experience and the on going process of becoming a mature/evolved human being. This has been a huge breakthrough, because in the past I wanted something to do or to work in that gave me that but now I realized these are independent things. Meaning I can have an unrelated job that somehow allows me to evolve my mind and sense making while earning decent money and that would satisfy me. I just need to set up the right conditions for that to happen. Some job that allows me to have the lifestyle that makes me conscious and mature. So the point is not to have a "spiritual job" but a job that allows ME to be spiritual

@Husseinisdoingfine oh Truth! You're interested in Truth, I love Truth, that's what my life has always been about, the pursuit of Truth. Physics can give you relative understanding about the mechanics of the world but it cannot give you Truth. Philosophy does a better job but still doesn't scratch the itch. Psychedelics and spiritual practices can get the job done. Truth is a matter of personal inquiry, direct experience and Awakening. How can one live out of that? Idk Truth is many times against survival and few people bother about it. Although don't let my pov limit you. It's possible to create a successful career out of Truth, just look at Leo.

What they're pointing is that one gets to know oneself/human through interactions with other humans, mirrors reflect on mirrors. So they just overexistentialized their point. In the same way you can see a cat is more cat when it has been in contact with other cats instead of an alone flat cat. The psyche is more evolved one could say, it has made sharper distinctions, it's sense making is more accurate and more mature. One could say certain environments and conditions allow for more recursive cycles of the same stuff than others. If that makes sense, in the same way holons work in complexity orders of themselves, certain conditions speed up the evolution and recombination of the same Reality. This is the only truth to what was being said. Consciousness is always already existing, social constructs are a figment within your mind, that other humans gave you through socialization, ironic, isn't it? Thought free awareness or non symbolic existence is a basic state of consciousness you can access You will see you cannot tell wether you are alive or not, or conscious or not What is, becomes self explanatory and labels do not apply anymore Reality does not need your human labels to exist, Consciousness is enough all by itself So throw the label if it's bothering you, no label makes it justice God is the best shot though God God God Maybe I should start talking like that. There was a Saint in India which God was the only word that uttered

Post Modernism is a meta social constructs that allows for different worldviews to exist without feeling threatened by their diversity But Truth, who cares about that? Surely post modernist don't care enough

This is not Plato's Academy

Maybe you find value in this short film. I feel like they are living in your head, your parents, society, expectations... That's the crime you have comitted towards yourself. To neglect and deny who you are to please others and fit into expectations that are not your own. You fear that more than death, isn't it crazy how you got into this situation?

So I'm contemplating how would my ideal home look like. This is because I discovered having nice views where I live makes me extremely happy. I really don't know why but it gives such immense joy that I know for sure it's something wired in my character. I also like a lot wooden floors. What about you? Please tell me, I'm very curious to know. Maybe you give me great ideas for my future home. Thanks

@Javfly33 When the absolute is experienced one can use any of the polar relatives to express it. Everything or Nothing It's the same pointer at the end of the day

Of course My women helps me a lot to grow personally, exposes my blind spots as well as offering me a lot of grounding in my Spiritual process. She's also very gifted spiritually although she has other needs right now to attend in her life. I'm gonna share how I found my sweet spot regarding Awakening and my romantic relationship. In the beginning it was quite a gap difference, as she had no experience or points of reference. We did some psychedelic trips together and to my surprise, she had profound Awakenings and mystical experiences. Now she has a point of reference and knows how radical this stuff can be. She decides that in the future she will explore Awakening but right now she wants to focus on other parts of her life. In this way I am understood and find support from her in my path while she had epic insights and Awakenings into the nature of Consciousness and the Universe. It's very rare you'll find someone devoted to Truth like you but your partner needs to have some points of reference of what you're doing. Otherwise it's gonna be real rough, plenty of misunderstandings and lack of connection. So no need to get a hot witch girlfriend but a mature woman/man that is willing to have some Awakenings because (s)he loves you and is curious about your most profound life passion.

Not only spirituality, all truth seeking suffers corruption from survival. Probably that's why Isaac Newton was so reserved and died virgin.

@Emerald Thanks for your detailed answer. I've had very similar insights to yours. I just took another decision from them. It seems to me that after some point the path seems to satisfy the Awakening urge and it revalues the mundane and infuses it with meaning. My Salvia breakthrough made me value real life so much that I cried for the possibility of feeding my cat after becoming boundless disembodied Consciousness. I was so grateful to be a human back again. So I really see the beauty in Life and the magnificence of living. I just seem to have an overwhelming pull for Truth, Awakening and the like. I don't even have a choice. It does me at every time. I'm in the current of this Universal Awakening Force.

Have you talked with a real life friend about your struggle? Have you opened up with your parents? Is there any university psychological support you could contact? Your value is not determined by a mark given from a rigged system. The how doesn't matter, life is what matters, your life, YOU MATTER AND NOBODY GONNA TELL YOU SHIT ABOUT YOUR REAL VALUE IT DOES NOT MATTER THE LIMITS YOU WILL ENCOUNTER TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS IT MATTERS THAT YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR YOURSELF EVERYDAY, FOR YOUR DREAMS, FOR WHAT IS VALUABLE TO YOU AND ONLY TO YOU Breathe

--- Despite sex being quite overrated, sexual programming is hard wired in the masculine psyche to levels I'm still astonished to discover. It's not going anywhere any time soon.
