There is a TV show about this called Common Side Effects. I didn't know it was based on a real mushroom, that's kind of cool

I wanted to share this video (the study is linked in the description) that goes over a new scientific breakthrough on how psilocybin precisely rewires the brain. Don't let his conclusions in this video be your own, but it was a cool watch. I am going through the study now. His video was brief. "One of the most important results from the study is this: only brain regions that are active during the psilocybin experience undergo lasting rewiring. Inactive regions do not change. That finding has major implications for mental health treatment, psychotherapy, and our understanding of how perception, mood, and identity are shaped at the neural level." Check it out. What are your thoughts? Video

I will try this out. I love this idea, actually.

There is an interview online for just about every kind of person you may resent. If you want to understand certain things, it can be done, but only if you are willing. Have an open, unjudgmental conversation with the people you have access to who do the things you mention, as long as it's safe to do so. Talk to them in a way that lets them feel heard, and you will get to hear more about how they work without them lashing out.

Kind of a useless conversation though, right? Women have hormones. Call it what you will, but the reason this was brought up was because Leo suggested you watch out for women with mental illness. All women have periods, and they affect them to various degrees. You date them and understand this, or you do not.

Would you include women with Clinical Depression as mentally ill, or do you mean more severe cases? How mentally ill are we talking?

I agree to an extent. I did not find love on Discord, but on Reddit, I connected with someone who changed my entire life for the better. This was years ago, but they are incredible. I was in a very dark place, and they basically guided me towards developing a mind-body connection. I don't even use Reddit. That was a one-off situation. I just had to be open to it. It doesn't seem like where you find your connections matters. It's about what the connection is. Who they are. Who you are. It doesn't need to be black and white, but meeting online does feel a bit different. At the same time, you can still find love there. It might just be different than how it usually goes. That's what I feel, at least, through my own personal experience. Where you are wrong is the last thing you said. If you think about it, you can find real love everywhere. It's not limited. It goes against your Discord argument to deny this. It's not "online is bad" or "online is better". It's situational, but generally, meeting someone in person is more satisfying. To me, at least. Not to discredit Discord or anywhere else.

Late tier 1 with some tier 2 insights

Do you think it's possible to contemplate within a dream, so that you can use dreams to power up your waking life?

Just wondering. Is it your belief that people who don't know anything (or I am guessing know little) about spirituality are more pleasant and spiritual? I don't think the pleasantness is determined by how much someone knows about spirituality. Those who are not kind and empathetic, yet claim to be spiritual, are posturing. I believe the issues and egotistical perspectives over spirituality rise when someone does not realize it's always been a personal, internal thing. Comparing how spiritual others are to yourself and feeling great that you are "better" is a common trap that is hard to break free from. I don't think knowing about spirituality determines how kind or empathetic a person is. The knowledge only amplifies what was already there. There are also so many different ways people perceive what spirituality even is. It usually becomes a new throne for the ego mind. Someone who says, "Dude, stop doing this, it won't lead to anything good," is most likely not living a real life. It's more likely that they are conforming to the lives of those around them. That is not to say they are not living life. It's to say that they don't understand the life there is to live.

Do you mean don't take mushrooms in general, or don't take them if your goal is understanding God I want to take Mushrooms (I have never tripped before), but I don't know if this will be the most beneficial method for growth or if it may be more harmful than I think. It felt like a good starting point though... but maybe it's not worth it? Any advice?
