  1. This post follows another post I made here : I think I have found what works for me, to prepare my trips. I’m sharing it because it might help some people here who could recognize themselves in my experience To explain a bit how I got there : In response to some comments on Leo’s mega thread here : Leo suggested that I contemplate “what a visionary is”. So I started doing it. I contemplated, over several sessions, CONTEMPLATE : What is a visionary : I started by taking different examples of visionaries, according to me. People like Jeff Bezos, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Nintendo, but also Leo. And also, for me, visionary creations like Google, cornflakes, supermarkets, etc. From there, I started to analyze some of their common points These are things that changed the lives of millions of people, whether on a global scale or on the scale of a niche, like Nintendo for example. But also because, for me, they seemed to be visionaries or works of visionaries. Because they often simplified life, removed problems, or improved already existing solutions for millions of people Often, a visionary starts from an idea or a concept that already existed and improves it. But sometimes not. For example, Bill Gates created Windows from nothing. Well, no software or type of Windows existed at that time. But he still designed Windows for PCs, for computers that already existed at the time. And I came to the conclusion that a visionary creates a solution to improve or remove the flaws of a system, a concept, or a way of life, etc. And I also asked myself : But I realized that in the end, all the visionaries I had taken as examples had created things. So I asked myself, for example, are Martin Luther King or Mandela visionaries ? And for me, yes, they were visionaries, yet they created nothing So I wondered if it simply came down to finding solutions. And whether a visionary, as the word suggests, had a vision ? Or whether a visionary does not need a vision ? And I came to the conclusion that, for me, yes, he had a vision. Does the vision come before the visionary proposes a solution, or does the solution come before the vision ? For example, did Steve Jobs have the vision of a world with iPods, or did he create the iPod before having this vision of “helping people”, etc. Did the creators of Google create Google with the vision that today everyone would use it, or did they first create their search engine and then what happened happened. And I came to the conclusion that no : for me, a visionary is someone who has a vision and proposes a solution to reach that vision. I already thought I had gotten pretty close to what a visionary is, and that I had started to grasp something about it. I decided to plan a 5-MeO trip. And for the first time, I decided to plug it. I took higher doses than the previous doses : 20 mg. And as I explained in my previous post, I didn’t really know what to do to draw conclusions from it, and to have realizations that actually impact my life after the trip So I decided, before my trip, to do things differently : By following the plugging protocol (mixing 20mg of 5-MeO freebase with 3ml of water and 2ml of white vinegar) I decided before plugging to contemplate “what is a visionary” for 30 minutes, which would give time for the 5-MeO to dissolve even better in the solution And once again, I feel that I got quite close to what a visionary is. I also started to contemplate what it is to be creative, what a vision is, etc. And I came to certain conclusions : Visionaries always have fairly simple visions, that attack problems, and then they propose creative and imaginative solutions to solve these problems. I of course came to ask myself what creation is, what it means to be creative, what it means to be imaginative. Are visionaries really creative ? Because in the end, they often have simple ideas. But just because these ideas are simple does not mean they are not creative. In the end, everything is creative. Everything that makes up our human life today is creative. It’s just that we are so used to seeing it that we no longer realize that it is creative. Some visionaries will be much more creative than others, and moreover, very often, the more creative they are, the more successful they will be. But in the end, the vision of a visionary is original, and his vision is a creation. And a visionary will also work to make his vision real, he will work to make his creation real. This is where I ended my contemplation before my 5-MeO trip. And I really thought I had gotten even closer to what a visionary was, and understood it even better. And in fact, during my 5-MeO trip, I realized that I was very far from it. TRIP REPORT I had to let go so that my level of consciousness could increase more and more, and I reflected on several topics wich i will talk about I saw a woman that I know And I saw in my mind that she was very interested in me, extremely interested in me. She was very flirty and physical toward me More than she has ever been, but not overly exaggerated compared to usual And it’s funny because I knew I was imagining, and at the same time I said to myself : “but it’s incredible how real what’s happening is”. And in fact I started to believe it : “it’s real, she is really into me”. Then I said to myself : “but that’s in my head”. Except that I realized that what is in my head is real !! But it is only real at my own scale, internally It is not real for you or for someone else, even if the way it feels real to me will allow me to influence the external world to match this reality …. But wait a minute : A visionary materializes his vision into the physical world !!! And that’s when I had a first insight, which led me to many others. My mind then drifted a bit, thinking about women, about what I want in life, etc. At a certain moment I came back to the subject of my contemplation, and I asked myself again : what is it to be a visionary ? At that moment, I thought again about that girl who was really into me And I said to myself : “but that’s a vision actually”. So in the end, if what happens in my head is real, then my vision is real !!!! Because I felt EXACTLY as if she was in front of me, my internal state was EXACTLY the same. So my vision is real ! INSIGHT : OH MY GOOD !!! I AM A VISIONNARY ! I started laughing by myself ! Then my mind started drifting again, imagining myself with many women, seducing women, etc. And I said to myself : “but what happens in my head is real”. And at first, I really felt like I was attracting them into the real world. And then I said to myself : “oh my god, I am a visionary actually”. Then I said to myself : “in fact, everyone is a visionary”. Since everyone can materialize their vision into the real world. Because what happens in our heads is just as real as what happens in the real world. In the end, what happens in the real world happens in our heads. Our eyes take in information from the external world, but it is our brain that constructs the image we see. In reality, we don’t “see” directly : it’s the brain that creates what our eyes see. So our brain could, in theory, construct a totally different image from what our eyes actually perceive. Anyway, what happens in the real world happens in our heads, and what we imagine also happens in our heads. So what we imagine is just as real as what happens in the real world. But then I asked myself : if there are so few visionaries, why are there so few visionaries ? And I told myself that maybe it’s because… if for example I want to be a visionary… here, it happened to me kind of by chance. I thought about women and I felt it was real, especially with 5-MeO. But maybe in the end, it’s because I still don’t know what my vision is. So if I want to be a visionary, I first need to start by creating my vision, and then make it materialize. And in the end, if I don’t know what I want in life, it’s because I don’t have a vision. If I have a vision, then I will know what I want in life. However, what is interesting is that right after this incredible epiphany, my life immediately started to make much more sense. The next step for me is to learn hypnosis. So if you have any advice about that, if you know teachers, trainings, or even high-quality content about hypnosis, and at a high level of consciousness, then feel free to share it here, or on the post I made about it, here. FINAL NOTES : I tried to briefly explain my thoughts and conclusions so you could understand the key points. However, I reflected on many more things than what I wrote here, and I can’t fully explain everything clearly. It would require a lot of effort and time, because there are many nuances behind my words and reflections. That’s why you should always do your own contemplation and gain your own insights in order to fully grasp the meaning of any subject. I also think that I still may not fully know what a “visionary” really is. So of course feel free to add your own conclusion or thoughts about it i will contemplate them too ! Take Leo’s teachings very seriously, because they are extremely powerful, and I feel that what I just experienced is only a preview.
  2. Haha you know what is funny in my contemplation i wanted to put Oda in that list of exemple but i didn't know if it was a visionnary or not so i did not used him Thank man i appreciate it !
  3. Hahaha awesome ! i will look into it thanks ! . I love it i will contemplate this
  4. Hi everyone, Just got from a huge breakthrough on 5 - MeO and contemplation about "What is a visionary ?" (thank Leo again) I will make a dedicated post later about that, one thing led to an other And my next step is to learn hypnosis; so here is my question : Do you know where i can learn hypnosis ? Good teachers formation and or sources ? Thank you a lot
  5. There is but are they equally valuable ? And is learning online even possible ? Hypnosis isn't only teachable face to face ? I wonder i barely know anything about hypnosis
  6. Thanks a lot man, i appreciate it ! I will take a look into it !!
  7. Really interesting ! Do you have some examples in mind ? Wish direct experiences did you contemplate to get to these conclusions ? Why do you think so ?
  8. Thanks a lot ! I will get at it
  9. Wasn't contemplation should not use external sources ? or should i contemplate and watch this later ?
  10. then i will thank you for the advise!
  11. What do you mean by vision ? Purpose ?
  12. Really legit i can totally relate with that and having doing lot pick ups have having a fair share of result with it i only did direct approach for a long time you just pointed out a sticking point that i was totally unaware of thank you ! the only downside of it is that it requires to master many different skills at a higher level to pull it of especially the skills of sexualizing the interaction, and the creativity to lead it where you want.
  13. You never released so much content in a so short time i love it !
  14. I edited the post to make it more easy to read This a lot of "if" and It is a very vague example but the thing is a serious scientific study won't be managed like that, and most of the time your assumptions or hypothesis will be addressed as much as they can. And if they are not, they will mention it in the limitations section of the study or mention it, so hopefully other studies can investigate further these matters Sorry for the grammar lol i am doing my best
  15. Not really what you are saying, in my sense when you say "serious science is disagreeing on something" is pretty different to say "they agree on something but trying to find the nuances of that thing" This is to reductionist, in this case the aim of this study is something like "what is the threshold volume to gain a maximum of muscle" that is not simply "you have to lift to gainmuscle", in regard of this : ''It's the claims that as volume increases, gains increases, seemingly ad infinitum, that's what is disputed.'' Yes they are talking about variable that science need to investigate more, and some other studies have already tried to investigate this matter You can't just look at one paper you have to look at several paper on the matter to have an accurate idea about what science saying about lifting I dont see what you mean by flawed methods ? It is not hard to replicate what is happening in a gym you just need a lifter, an exercise and weights or machines that's it Except that every method will be flawed just like a guy who will use vibe training That why someone should not trust blindly one study but try to get information from different study And get a general idea how things might work to avoid self deception that vibe training and bro science can get someone in Science based lifting is not "you should do this and only this" it is it more likely that you should do this cause of this" or "you should at least have this in your training to b more efficient"
  16. But how can you know what is conformity and what really come from yourself ? Hard to do right ? Spoiler did'nt watch your video yet
  17. just read this one for now but and they not "disagreeing" they are just saying that they don't know every thing : "While RT volume may very well be one of the more important factors influencing the hypertrophic response in resistance trained individuals, we would suggest that the current evidence is much more ambiguous than clear." And they are trying to formulate hypothesis on why some results are contradictory in the "Possible Explanations" like this : It is possible that such dissimilarities in muscle growth may very well be explained by methodological differences between lab groups" And they are concluding with hypothesis that training volume emphathis may be exagerated and that other investigations on this part must be made : While there appears to be some threshold of volume that is necessary for muscle growth, the current recommendations may exaggerate its importance. It is our hope that this paper stimulates positive inquiry around in the area of RT volume and muscle growth That is not people digressing in my sense it is exploring limitation and questioning deeper previous discoveries But yes that mean that we should not trust blindly scientific studies like we should not blindly "vibe training" Training standard don't mean that limitation are not there it is just that we don't know everything and we will never anyway but if 20 studies show that this method work than we can use it but we will do more studies to find out why it work and how Meanwhile our studies with this and theses setting provide these result in most cases that we observed
  18. I mean that serious scientific studies are aware of their limitations And never proceed like what you just described there except if there is a specific need to do that Ultimately i don't think that you read enough scientific study to really know how "serious scientific studies are managed"
  19. I am agree with it but it is not absolute some are using this as a marketing to sell their shit, and other are really serious about sourcing their work from scientific studies. It like say "all youtubers on self-help are gurus " ... And that is just not true.
  20. Totally respectuffully your post dont seem to have fully grasp what is a serious scientific study nowday about lifting Or maybe i did not understood fully your post and i considering this too Yes scientific studies don't know it all, yes nobody should use it as a doctrine, yes it became a marketing argument that can serve devilish and egoisticals way. But scientific studies does give us insights that should not often be ignored, if you take 1000 human and make them do the same thing and they got the same result i think too that the chances is way higher that i get the same things than them if i do the same thing they did And the setting of the studies are not so far from the real life It is not hard to reproduce the environement of a lifter The biggest problem is that studies are misused by peoples, they endocrine themselves with it become close minded, get bias and double standardized often And of course they thinks that by reading few studies they not it all but the truth is that we now nothing and we probably never will
  21. By the way @Leo Gura When are you realeasing that course ? Any news or (realistic ) estimation ?
  22. Not at all !!! A regular employe is taxed WAY WAY MORE less than 25% It is 25% for an entrepreneur (i am in that case) That is true for business owner or big entrepreneur (earning 5k/mounth) thought so they get it in the ass But they usually use a lot of comparability laws (like i do myself as an entrepreneur) to pay a lot less tax and they make up for it, like you are doing in the US i think I am talking about France where i live i don't know for the rest of EU, but if i remember well we are one of the more taxed country especially for businesses and we have one of the better health care system (it is still a bit inefficient thought) the ones that do better in that matter are only nothern countries i think.
  23. Really ? I would thought a a million is pretty hard to do in any case
