I've been to BM the last 2 years and no it's not ideal for enlightenment, though I've met a couple people into nonduality. There are thousands of different camps with people interested in different things, you just have to find the right ones for you. I recommend tripping and watching the sunrise (not directly). It's interesting to see when everyone is literally you and that most of everyone who is tripping also realizes that they are you. Only at an open and deserted place like burning man can I really open myself up when on psychedelics in public. I wouldn't go back though until I find the right camp to be with. I've thought of going solo but at an event this massive with 70,000 people it's nice to be with a small solid group that get nonduality. There are other festivals as well that support Green stage; Symbiosis, lightning in a bottle, Lucidity, Tribal Gathering,

The best way for me to release the leash of my neurotic mind is to do a Float Tank once in a while. Just completely utterly surrender, not trying to surrender, but to just give it up. Letting your mind go complete ape shit for a hour or two is quite nice. Let that monkey out!

Nice! Instead of using ice try freezing some bananas! I also like to add in some ginger, chia seeds, hemp seeds, spinach, and arugula.

The new Bill Hicks is about to be born.

Oh man Jim is going to be burnt at the stake. Bless him. He must feel lonely at these kinds of events.

@Epiphany_Inspired Do you honestly think you can hone in and carefully craft your art with all that mental noise happening in your head. I'd like to think finding your life purpose starts and reveals itself when you start to shed away layer and layers and layers of conditioning.

I was once in the same position as you years ago until I got a glimpse of hope that has changed me onwards and that was magic mushrooms. It was pure divine love and it was me, and it loved me absolutely unconditionally. From then on I started daily meditation, then to yoga, then to clean eating, and eventually unplugging from mainstream society. Though tripping can be tricky if you are not mentally prepared for it especially if you are going through severe anxiety and depression. It could make it worse, but if you surrender as if your life depended on it than you will get a glimpse and will know that it's something worth striving for sober. Feel free to PM me whenever you like.

Because it's a bottomless bucket you can never fill. But the ego doesn't know or forgets that when its engrossed in these pleasant activites one after another, then another, then another. It's afraid of nothingness, it is it's very own death that's why! Haha ?

@Azrael Haha that's a perfect example. I just got back from the Oregon Eclipse Festival a few days ago so I can visualize that easily.

@Max_V This has started after my 5meo breakthrough. It starts at the back of my neck. There are convulsions and spasms, it looks super odd from the outside but it feels absolutely amazing. It feels like releases of energetic stresses within our body and psyche. When I'm at a 10 day retreat for the first few days I'm almost shaking 2 inches off the ground and can get painful on my neck, but after a few intense shakes the shaking subsides and I'm back to just sitting still.

@How to be wise take a psychedelic and experience an ego death. Or go out far away from nearby light pollution and lay down and observe the milky way and just wonder in awe. Go deeper, you could replace the words "Nature of Reality" to "Truth".

https://www.zamnesia.com/blog-the-forgotten-hallucinogenic-lichens-n660 One that we can say exists for sure is Dictyonema huaorani. This lichen was very recently discovered in the Ecuadorian area of the Amazon rainforest, and is thought to be extremely potent. It is extremely rare, so rare in fact that locals have not used it for generations. The scientists exploring the area even regarded it as their ‘white whale’ - an elusive trophy they were hunting for years, but never really expect to find. Upon spectral analysis, the lichen was found to contain tryptamine, psilocybin, 5-MeO-DMT, 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeOT), 5-MeO-NMT, and 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MT) – quite a mix!

Yesterday I attended an Introductory Seminar + Mini-Breath session and I was quite shocked by it's method to induce a non-ordinary state of consciousness. This is a great introductory method for experiencing non-ordinary states for those that are not yet comfortable taking psychedelics or may not have access to them. It was just a short 1 hour session but I continuously expanded, contracted, cried and laughed the entire time. I find it easier to "drop in" into an non-ordinary state after years of taking psychedelics and meditation and the having the trust to surrender. Method: - Wearing an eye mask - Breathing deeply - Being played emotional music throughout the entire session consisting of shamanic, tribal, world, angelic, and lord of the rings kinda tunes. The full day retreats have sessions 3 hours long! Mind you the intro class was only an 1hr.. I can't imagine how deep that'll be. For those that live near LA there is the same intro class I took going on again today: http://holotropicbreathworkla.com/schedule-of-events

Been feeling these nauseous vomitty feelings in my stomach whenever I go more and more prior or meta. If I try to self inquire who it is that's feeling these sensations I get more uncomfortable physical sensations? What are some suggestions to deal with this? It would be quite nice to just vomit it out.

@Max_V It lasted for about 2 hours last night and I couldn't sleep. The sense of nausea felt like my own fear of the infinite. Either that or I've been watching too much fractal videos lately. Thank you, I'll try to dive into it next time but if that prevails I'll simply let it be.

Side question: Would the intense experiences of purging such as body tightening and expelling release any energy blockages, stored tensions, or surface level fears?

I highly recommend it. It's a great way to push yourself out of a boring monotonic paradigm.

@Joseph Maynor Have you done a 10 day meditation retreat?

A bowl on my table in front of me just moved on its own. I don't know what to think or feel right now. My hairs are rising. *I am under the influence of marijuana and felt incredibly in the moment just prior to this experience.

@Heart of Space There was sound of friction of the bowl and table and it still rings in my mind. Smoking rarely every now and then doesn't really bring me to that state of numbness like it used to. Now after meditating for a couple years my trips are almost psychedelic because I become open and even more aware and not as cloudy or numb like it used to be with marijuana.

No condensation on the bottom although they held frozen grapes. Accident telekinesis or a haunted house.
