i'll drop this here just to have another point of view

I love listening to classical music while tripping. Listening to a piece is like going on an emotional roller coaster.

IBS = Irritable bowel syndrome I suffered pretty heavily from IBS over the past years. A week ago I discovered Medicinal Clay (https://www.luvos.net/Products/Adolf-Just-Luvos-Healing-Earth-gastro-balance) and it gave me a new life.I used to always have stomach cramps, especially in the morning from not being able to burp, pretty much always either constipation or diarrhea and heartburn after every larger meal. I just put a little bit of the clay into water and drink it. It helped from the first time I used it and I can finally eat without being in pain afterwards. I use it whenever I get either stomach cramps or heartburn and it helps pretty much instantly. Surprisingly enough, despite the fact that this is basically dirt the taste isn't even that bad. Everyone who suffers from similar symptoms should definitely give it a try. There are no known side effects to this therapy and it's cheap.

What is the current "official" explanation where planets come from? They just appear out of nothing and never grow? lol It just seems logical that planets are growing.

Switzerland is very green

I would say yes, generally speaking your happiness goes up but your personal definition of happiness will change along the way and that doesn't mean you can't be unhappy in higher stages.

Possibly! But as a matter of precaution the brand that I use heats the clay to 130°C

Truth is everyone has different needs and different intolerances when it comes to food. Statements like "xxx is good or bad for you" will never be true for everyone. Experiment and find out what works for you and makes you feel good. Listen to your body.

That's exactly what we are from a certain perspective. and every "atom" fulfills its purpose at every moment just by being there and doing its thing :-)

I'm really not sure but I think the "problem " with extracting it yourself would be, that you wouldn't end up with pure 5-meo-dmt but instead with a mixture of other substances as well. Depending on the plant you would probably still trip balls but it wouldn't be the same and it's risky to recommend.

I'm asking myself this question right now because I am going through a break-up. I can effortlessly enter a mindfulness/equanimity state in which I don't feel sad or depressed at all but if I let my mind wander freely I become deeply sad. Am I avoiding an experience that I should go through by "ignoring" the sadness with mindfulness until enough time passed or is it just ego that I should overcome with mindfulness? ????????

It could either be that or that the sadness is there for a reason. At the moment I feel like I am escaping from something when I just "ignore" this sadness, that's why I created this post.

It's not like the negative emotions are not there in the mindfulness state, but rather that I don't feel any sadness in the way I am used to.

Please keep it removed.

@AleksM yes I know that this is not "it" but I asked if you know something about that. You seem to know a lot of different stuff, that's why I'm asking you.

@AleksM do you (or anyone else) know something about "Floaters" ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floater I've started to notice them a lot in the last few months.

Don't tease us like that you meanie.

Some sources say that if you boil the shrooms the Psilocybin gets destroyed but personally I found that this didn't have an effect.

Yes you do! Read the law of one and you can be high on crack too! :-)

Music is like a drug for me. Earlier in my life I binged a lot on music and almost always listened whenever I had a chance to. After I cut down and started to just listen to a few songs when I really felt like it music became very powerful. If music isn't something that I do mechanical and regularly I get very strong euphoria from it. A "con" to music is definitely the looping in the mind. The only solution to that is more mindfulness. I take it as a reminder to go back into mindfulness when I catch myself repeating a song in my mind. Though for me it stops altogether when I don't listen to music(that I like) for about 2 weeks.

The trip I will write about is my first and only Magic Mushroom (Psilocybe Cubensis) experience so far. It happened more than 10 months ago and I slowly feel like I'm done processing what I experienced. What I did was utterly arrogant and stupid and I hope other people can learn from it as well. I took a 4,5-5g(dried) dose without having ever experienced psychedelics of any kind previously and I was alone. I was under the silly impression that because I have an easy time accessing the mindfulness state and had some spiritual insights that therefore dealing with these mushrooms would be easy. Boy was I wrong... It all already started 5 min after I ingested the mushrooms (eating the dry flesh) with me getting stomach ache and my breath feeling "weird". Those feelings continued to become more intense for me and about 10minutes in my body began to feel heavy. In restropect- I have practised to watch my breath without manipulating it way too little until this trip and the come-up made me very self-conscious about all my usually automatic body activities. At this point in time I was not able to focus on my breath without manipulating it and because of that I progressively felt more uncomfortable in my body, especially with the shrooms' body load. About 20 minutes in things started to get weird and it dawned on my that I took way too much because it would obviously become a lot stronger. My thoughts felt very agonizing to me. In retrospect I realized that I just experienced my usual thought patterns and "algorithms" but it felt so artificial and I felt disconnected from it. Also just sitting in front of my Computer felt very uncomfortable so I went back and forth between my bed and Computer without being able to find rest. About 40 minutes in I felt alive for the first time. Every sense felt clear and sharp and things smelled as though I smelled them for the first time ( the smell of fresh bread was orgasmic). Then suddenly it all made sense (in an intellectual way). I concluded in different ways (of which I non remember) that all of me and what I think of me and other people is just a story. This realization made me laugh hysterically. At that moment my laughing sounded to my spectator self like a shouting monkey and I started to completly emerge in the role of a monkey. I rolled on the floor and laughed hysterically while ripping apart a paper towel roll. After an unknown amount of time I realized that I could not be a monkey forever because I was exhausted as fuck. As I laid on the floor and catched my breath I looked into the wall and got sucked into one point deeper and deeper(I stopped breathing while I was sucked into it). I had this amazing insight that even if this body dies, there is still something.. the kind of awarness that there is when I am mindful. And It felt like I had a direct experience of exactly this. After an unknown amount of time it felt like I was just at the moment at which I would lose consciousness if I didn't breath again so I gasped for air. For a moment it felt like "I am here" again but before I could realize it I was sucked into another point and the same thing repeated. This happened some more times but after the second time I got to my bed. While I was sucked into the point I had a very hard to describe moving Kaleidoscope effect with many colors. At some time I got into a loop of me standing up from my bed, going a circle in my room and laying down again. I did this multiple times and it felt to me like I can't stop this. The fear that I would continue this for the remainder of the trip let me to the realization that time is absolute fiction. But out of delusion I thought time stopped and I am stuck in time forever. This made me think my only way to escape was suicide but I could quickly disregard this idea again. When I calmed down I stood up from my bed and when I stood there I became "one with my entire room". Though this sensation is way more complex than this cliché statement makes it sound. My sense of awarness was no longer bound to this body, it was free to whatever was inside my field of awarness. I was as much the body as I was everything in my room. I also had an amazing insight on how I project my inner world onto others. All in all I can now say that I look back very positive on this experience but for the first 1 or 2 months after the trip I got breathing problems and anxiety whenever I thought about it. It was a very difficult and intense experience that required a lot of processing but It gave me many precious insights.
