@outlandish Thanks for the in depth reply, this was very helpful.

https://lnns.co/MpoTcnYKwz6 listen to this podcast episode, after that consider your options again.

@TheAvatarState It's pretty sad that someone as smart and educated as JP got caught up in this nonsenseical culture war. The content he put out in the recent year is mediocre at best, compared to his lectures from back in the day. Dealing with politics, drama and the protection of "the west" (who knows what it is supposed to be ) seems just like an giant waste of time. It would be nice to see him step back for a while and focus on issues that are more in reach of his expertise like psychology, religious symbolism and science.

@OrpheusNovum Hes no devil he's mentally unstable, and should get some help.

He has some pages of unedited notes on his blog.

Yesterday I watched Leos Video on areas of aplication for Spiral Dynamics and it got me wondering what I could do to stimmulate the development of the people around me. I want to help especially my mum and dad which are currently around 70% orange 25% blue and 5% green, They struggle alot with deppendecne on bad food, lack of exercice and my dad with addiction to beer and cigarets. (stage orange problems with consumerism) I try to live by example and tell them about the benefits of exerciese and proper diet, but it mostly goes unnoticed.

I plan on doing an 200 ng LSD trip this Monday, I have the days after it off as well so it's a good date for me. I have done LSD around 10 times so far 3x100ng and the rest below around 50ng. My plan was to darken my entire room to meditate and selfinquire as long as I can. My goal is to get an ego death experience and encounter consciousness in its raw Form for the first time. In preparation I amp up my meditation to 30 min. a day from 20 min. Also I start to water fast on Saturday to keep my body calm and to raise my awareness. I also read Stanislav Grofs Relams of the unconscious two weeks before, so I am prepared to deal with most things that could come up. Does anyone have anymore advice on how I should prepare for the trip, I would really appreciate it.

Thx for the advice guys

Step one legalize mushrooms, step two... . I don't think there is a step two!

It's spiral because each stage switches from collective to individual focus, to visualize this dynamic it swings from right to left.

@Wyatt very helpful will think about your questions, thank you very much

Had an scary solipsism experience on LSD, were it seemed to me that all of existence was conspiering to create that moment that I experienced at that time. My mind got tangeled up with verbaly questioning if this was true, which got me stuck in a loop of compulsive questioning for 2 hours or so. This experience showed me clearly the limited of verbal tought, language and conceptiualizing.

@John Iverson Would really depend on the kind of productivity you are looking for. If you want to be more crative and feel energized without crashing microdoses of shromes or lsd are the way to go, in my experience its harder to have focus on them. Furthermore you have to lay them off for 1-3 days because you build tollerance imedeatly. If you wanna be more focused modafanil, racitams, nicotin gum, ginko and good old caffeine are the right choice. Just make sure to lay them of for days you don't need them otherwise you will relly on them as a crutch and returns will deminish as your tollerance increases. But ofc you have to test what works best for you, hence anyone reacts a little different.

@Pouya @Pouya I struggled also with video game addiction I spend about 10000+ hours video gaming since I was 9, I am 21 now. I quit at the start of this year and the only thing that helped me was to terminate all my gaming accounts(Steam, LOL etc. ) and throw away my console. I regret it 0% and have no desire to go back. Since then I was slowly but steady able to indroduce new habits and interests into by life that before got consumed by gameing. The fundamental problem was gaming is in the short term far more gratifying than anything else, so when reading, working out or meditation was on the agenda, video games were the easy way to procrastinate on that. This is extra bad if you conditioned yourself over years and years to go the way of procrastination. Overall my life is alot more in balance, and I get alot of progress in toward my dreams. Burn the Boats!!! ???

Is LSD also well suited for a dark room trip? Or are shroms the way to go?

You choose some nice samples, keep it up!

@Revenant No problem, send me the money via PayPal

I think those names are too long and have too much discription. Also some people might hesitate to buy this book because they don't want to have something laying around that explicitly shows they have an issue. Consider something more subtle like "adapt and overcome, how to conquer fear in the social world"

@universe yes, and I doubt spiral dynamics is under copyright, after all it was created by clear Graves who is dead. Furthermore I think it is generally impossible to be the copy holder of an scientific concept.

@Serotoninluv ryly, thanks for letting me know!

Considering Leo has quite a large following it would be very likely some stage turqoise teachers would agree to colaborate. Some good canditates would be: - Rupert Sheldrake - Stanislaf Grov - Ann Shulgin - Peter Ralston - Ken Wilber - Jordan Peterson (more yellow than turqoise for sure)

I dont think actualized.org is in any danger hence it produces all its content from scratch, but I aprechiate your activism none the less

1. LSD 2. Jordan Peterson 3. Leo 4. Meditation 5. The gym

Weed is the ninja drug, having strong boundaries with weed is madetory. Otherwise it can degenerate into a very bad habit.
