I haven't read the whole thread but I think the difference between an ordinary person suffering and a person who awakens is that he or she suffers consciously and doesn't act on it and gives up. When I was on a 14 day a 18hours vipassana retreat I suffered for a week enormously and was soo deperate and then letting go happened and there was freedom from myself without really knowing what was missing. Now I know that for a few days the I was missing, then it came back very strong a sabotaged the rest of the retreat. Has anybody already said that?

That's great to hear my friend. I've read a few other posts from you. How did you get to this realisation? Which kind of meditation did you use or just observation?

What about the munich security summit where he confronted the west for their (from his pov) dishonedt ways? Maybe both because the summit this year has been over the weekend after his death? @Leo Gura https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Munich_speech_of_Vladimir_Putin

I don't know were I read that, maybe the washington post,were think the former israeli prime minister ask putin not to kill Zelinsky on which he agreed after a short talk.

Hehe, I had exacly the same insight after using them for almost a year twice a month. I realized that I still suffer and had to work on myself. Then the real deal began. Later psychedelics a few times a year were really helpful for healing and afterwards the integration was important.

You can get stronger truffles and more. There are 22g truffles packages which will likely do the trick for you. The first few times took 22g to get a break through but nowadays sometimes only 1g shrooms to get "there". For me it was also helpful to watch some alan watts playlists where I could realizes what he was talking about. I hope that helped ;-)

I ask myself if this date of his death has a geopolitical meaning behind. Maybe it's the munich security conference... but it's just speculations

@Leo Gurawe are still waiting for your conscious communication episode

I think they are getting better and better and they've got quite sophisticated compared to 10 years ago. There have been break throughs in developement of humanoid hands and feet and that's a huge step ahead. However I agree that they still aren't as good as they pretend them to be. To make a better assessment they should release date how often the egg move had to be repeated until the shot was fine and how often it could repeat the tasks without error. I also see high enery costs as problem. Although they are still clumsy it is good progress and it's still great and in maybe 20 years they might actually work in production plants. However I think they won't look completely like humans like depicted in deus ex machina this century, so sry, no leo robot with ai philosophising for us.

Let's wait and see if Donald Trump becomes generous and compassionate when he turns 84, lol.

I'm not against nuclear power plants and see them as necessary intermediate solution but as mentioned before they are a huge investment and extremely expensive to dismantle and we in europe have no place to bury the waste savely for hundredthousands of years. That's why finding a viable solution for the storage is in all the european countries put far off into the future and that will problably cost too much if taken into account. There is a very good video about renewables from reallifelore on youtube.

@CARDOZZO In a sense they are right but don't acknowledge the elefant in the room, namely that all things are generated by the mind that means everything one experiences aka consciousness. Have you first hand experience?

Yes, I agree with you on the part of the right of the ukrainian people to choose their own course of course and that the many reasons behind russia's invasion you've mentioned. However I think survival play by far the biggest reason for the war and russia defenetively felt threatened by nato and putin declared that openly for almost 15 years. Maersheimer's pov is partial I agree, but he's teaching meta knowledge about how power structurs behind play out which is important to understand how geopolitics has always worked. Also the reason I mentioned why the peace deal of march 2022 hasn't worked out was to point out the fact that it is also the wests responsibility that people are still dying uneccesarily because the allies declined. On the other hand russia pretty much fucked up in spring and summer 2022 and there was a small but realistic chance of beating russia and the ukrainians did a good job standing up. However, we are were we are and we should support ukraine and enable them a better peace deal as proposed by putin a few days ago. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/14/vladimir-putin-peace-russia-ukraine-president

I think that qas the peace deal which the us undermined as maersheimer told.

I hope you've had a nice and insightful trip. For contemplation or insights I wouldn't combine it. Most people advice to either take one or the other because there seems to be a tuck of war between both substances and some get a hard time due to having a hard lsd trip combined with the twistiness and problem pointing of shrooms. If you want the good effects of both substances combined in one I'd recommend triptamine analogues like 4ho-met or 4ho-mipt.

I see it more as a spectrum. There are many men who are attracted to both, maybe one more than the other. Many people project negativity on this to surpress their homosexual urges. One can look at it through the lense of polarity with every person having feminen and masculine personal traits and one is looking for the complimentary parts. Another aspect is conditioning and what one has learned to connect to sex and arousal. I've listened once to a tv show where people could call and talk about different subjects and there was a construction worker who had sex with the wholes he drilled when his collegues were at lunch break. This is explicable with conditioning theory as well as all the other kinks. Therefore I wouldn't see it as deviation. However it may appear that way from a stage blue perspective.

I plugged 3 microskoops 5meo-malt and had some insights in the nature of ego. I am resistance and the very trying to change things. I am the state I'm trying to change and it has to fail because I'm imaginary I have to imagine something different because I'm not the real thing I'm looking at and in that sense thoughts can never completely realized or reached, however one can use them to do real things eg sport, skills (like social, sport etc), buisiness.. One cannot change what is and that is the fundamental flaw with psychotherapy, but I don't deny that there are certain aspects which do help and have their place. I am controlling and scheeming and it's baked in me and there is nothing wrong with it per se. However there are degrees to it and it causes suffering and pain The only problem is trying to change any of it from the outside because one doesn't realise that it's one or the egos nature. I also noticed how old karma works. It's like a muddy stream which carries you away from the present and makes you feel like living in the past and doesn't really see and hear things anymore because the mind interpretes it really fast so that one confuses it with the real world I realize, that there is far more to realise and to go deeper, especially because I had very deep awakings during lsd and mushroom trips. However that's where I'm at right now and I'm in a diffucult situation right now so I'll go slowly. I see how easy it is after thise insights to think that there is nothing more to realise like many of those stupid neo advitas do and that this is a trap even though it is liberating. I also noticed that I'm very asleep and one of the reasons is that I haven't done a lot of consciousness work over the last 1.5 years due to sickness and how important it is still to do the work because there are so many positive things I can change and create and it's not for me to coast through life like almost all the people around me. It would be a denial of my potential and wish for understanding.

It was 3 microscoops, around 24mg. Is the tolerance the same as with 5 meo-dmt or 1-2 weeks?

Even though he has a lot of experience through his whole life and wisdom, I think that his mind is frozen in the 60s and did so many horrible things with his conspiracies and toughness. However, rest in peace.. @DocWattsthx, I'm right now watching part three. omg he seems to have sociopathic traits and a notorious lyer.. far worse than what I expacted. The moderators are very well informed. Do you watch them regularly?

@SchizophoniaWhat does TRT mean? I tried to look it up and it's def. not testosterone replacement therapy 😅 For the general thread: I find that the majority of peoole in general has a bad understanding of intelligence and success. many think this translates to all areas of life even if the person has no experience in those areas. It is bot common knowledge that minds are often shaped that way that they fit only a certain area and have a hard time in other fields.

I'm sorry to hear that. However, I can relate to that. I mostly get paranoid, at the beginning, during comeup with axieties in a extreme way. But it's not always been the case. If you want to enjoy it, you'd have to conquer it by one way or another. The good thing is, there are many ways to tackle this situation and the more things you improve the better it will be in general. Fear or the intensity of a feeling often derives proportional from a general high stress level, even the things you call exciting, so I'd start learning some tecniques to feel relax and good for longterm and be more chill. Another aspect is to be mindful and understand that your normal mind is constructed to protect you and keep control .. that has to be surrendered during a trip to be able to fully enjoy your true nature. Another thing that might influence this is resistence to your feelings and running away from it so it might help to realise this and express clearly what you're afraid of and thereby face it. It might be of help to have an experienced trip sitter around you to talk with so he can calm you. If not, there is a page called tripsit.me which is there for such cases and you can enter their discord via browser without registrating. Just don't give out your adress and personal data and inform/check it out yourself first sober. But you have to deside that for yourself because if you act stupid or immature and post there incriminating things if done or personal info you might get trouble some day. It would be worthwhile, to try another chemical like 4ho-met, 4ho-mipt. Shrooms tend to twist the mind and show you your problems in your face which is not good if you tend to have anxiety. This is just an addition to the great things the others have already posted and should be taken into account. Good luck in your journey

I don't know if it's already been posted. Here is a good video which might help to get some clarity about some strategic goals of hamas in this attack and how it lead to it. @Leo Gura
