I surely understand that Sadhana gives a permanent change of consciousness and with drugs you only get a glimpse, but I highly doubt these stabilized states come close to the profoundness of 5-MEO (and I heard this from Leo also if I remember correctly). If these guys live in this permanent state of changed consciousness, I doubt it even more that it is a state of continuous Nirvakalpa Samadhi as you cannot function in that state (full blown Non-Duality). So this permanent state of changed consciousness cannot be that but a level lower at least. I wasn't arguing that it is just a glimpse which turns into a memory sooner than later, my question was about how deep you go with each method. Not contesting that real change comes from these traditional methods and not from a short glimpse by any means. (but I suspect that both combined would be better than any method alone) Ma

What is your opinion about these 2 videos: The Aghori pretty much dismissed the experience ( not at first but in the second video, some time later talking about it). He also seems to talk a lot of gibberish. I expected someone in that position to have another opinion about the profound experience of 5-MEO. I have heard experienced meditators for 20 years+ comparing it to the deepest (If you can attach this term) Nirvakalpa Samadhi, not obtainable by other means. I am talking about the depth of the experience, not the fact that some "enlightened beings" might get somewhat close and on a more stable basis. in the end the endstation should be the same (Non-Duality) but Chrisopher Bache , as an example, somewhat claims that there are layers (infinite ones) to that also. Thanks! Ma

That is enough, sounds pretty simple, no issues here with injection technique, volumetric dosing, wasn't quiet sure about sterility with dissolved chemicals . Was also thinking about micron syringe filters for sterility, Thanks for the confirmation!

Can you please elaborate a bit more on how you proceed IM? Really curious about that and sorry if these questions have been answered here already. Thank you! Ma

Depends what medication. Strattera goes with shrooms, HO-MET, 5-MEO but they seem a bit weaker. Would not try to combine it with Aya (MAOI's , harmalas) Also, taking a day off is a good idea. For stimulants, I have no personal experience. Ma

What about transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS)? Theoretically it should be stronger than the Pulsetto. Electric stimulation via the Tragus of the left ear? Anyone tried that? It is the first device that he introduces in the video. Here a similar one: https://tensmachineuk.com/tens-and-muscle-stimulation/tens-machines/rechargeable-tens-machines/premier-pro-tens-machine-muscle-stimulation but ear clips are needed. Ma

Nice, thanks!

Yes, thinking the same , those states reachable by 5-MEO cannot be reached by normal people through other practices, only genetic freaks. Think we need a compendium of states reachable by various practices and substances, maybe even give them names if they have none and characteristics, to make it scientific

I've heard directly from Andrew Holecek (Buddhist teacher, experienced meditator , author of some nice books about Dream Yoga, meditation) that darkness retreats got him to the exact same spot that that 5-MEO did (he tried 5-MEO afterwards) . He compares 5-MEO to Extinction , not Cessation, probably not reachable by "normal" meditative practices , but I guess the "Samadhi" state somebody like Ramakrishna (a few selected humans, no chance for the normal guy) is talking about, would be very close to a peak 5-MEO experience. Would like to hear your thoughts on this. Ma

NSI-189 , a nootropic really helped me (it is in phase 3 human trials but you can get it from nootropic vendors online) 5-MEO will cure it for sometime (days) but you will fall back into it, same for mushrooms, microdosing is worth trying, Ketamine will erase it but you will fall back after some time. That's just my personal experience. Ma

Please explain what the states unreachable without psychedelics are? Something like a special flavor of Non-duality? And what are the states reachable by meditation but not psychedelics? Which of the 2 would you consider the "peak state"? Ma

Regarding 5-MEO: You needed a second dose! Was in the same place, pure existential terror, agony (because of childhood trauma I could not let go, surrender). But when I came back after the first toke, happy that I was alive, the (very knowledgeable) shaman gave me a second dose and it took me all the courage I could muster ( I am still proud of that till today) to get the second toke as I knew I was going to die. Really no difference between what was happening and death (only if you believe in materialism you can find a difference). After the second toke I did not get the chance to surrender or not, the medicine forced me to surrender and the Love and Awe you are (not feel) justifies everything, all the suffering in the world also. You don't need to physically die to dissolve into Infinity, you get to the same place with 5-MEO. And yes, you are right - SURRENDER is the mechanism by which everything happens. Ma

Exactly! They don't increase, but reduce brain activity and by this throttle down (and in the case of 5-MEO kill) your mind (with a small m) , and by doing that you get access to broader consciousness ( impersonal one). In the case of 5-MEO your mind (with a small m) is completely shut down and you become Mind (capital M). By this mechanism you get information which seems to be not yours on high doses of LSD (from the Collective Unconscious) or to become God on 5-MEO. The mechanism by which this is happening is a weakening of the Ego or complete destruction (like 5-MEO does) - things which will show up on a CT-scan as a decrease of brain activity. Everything is consciousness in the end, our personal minds are just delimitations in that consciousness and psychedelics are making the borders between personal and impersonal more transparent (disolving them completely in the case of 5-MEO).

I tried 200 mg Harmine (as I have extracted it myself and have no THH at hand) with 40 mg DMT in orange juice and got only a very, very mild trip. Do you think that the 200 mg harmalas are to low or was it the DMT dosage? In my previous Aya sessions , I needed double doses compared to other people , so I might be one of the guys which needs up to 100 mg of oral DMT. I think that 200mg of Harmine should bring complete MAOI inhibition , so ramping up the DMT (and not the Harmine) should be the way to go? Don't have much of either at hand so I would like some opinion before wasting a part on experiments. Thank you! Ma

For me, at least, snorting did get me lots of body load, while I did not get much body load with plugging the same amount (did not go very far with MALT for now). Except that, my experience was similar with yours, very powerful stuff, not really pleasant as other people are describing it (but I guess powerful stuff should not be pleasant). Nothing to joke with. Ma
