Also presence is a state of surrender to what is

So you feel like 10 hours of sober meditation is more valuable than 10 hours of meditation on psychedelics at this point ? From my perspective psychedelics are really amazing for healing. In your last dozen trips you did not have some big healing moments ?

No it's possible to feel terrible pain, but if you accept it fully, there is no suffering. At least I have heard many people describe that

Why do you insist that they would suffer in that case ? I cannot understand it. You think the pain would make them suffer ? Obviously pain is not the same as suffering. I remember you mentioning in a old video of a master receiving dentist drillings with no pain medication, with a "smile on his face". You think losing mental faculties would make them suffer ? If there is zero identification and attachement to the body or personality why would they suffer ?

Thank you for explaining. Do you mean chin as far from or as close to your chest as possible ?

Can you share a link explaining this kriya please ? Also doing the Wim Hof method before, with breathing + ice shower/bath, makes me more sensitive to transmissions

No sex or masturbation for many months. That works very well !

Yes I really enjoyed this interview as well

@GreenWoods Yes I can confirm Gareth's transmissions are mind blowing !

If you are sensitive, be careful about receiving a transmission while on a full dose of LSD. Maybe it could be a bit too intense that way (but if you ever do it please let me know!). If you receive enough transmissions, the energies will come to you during your trips naturally.

@GreenWoods Great job with this thread, thanks ! KAP has been so life changing for me and it is growing so fast. There could easily be thousands of KAP facilitators in 5-10 years. Transmissions are surely going to become more mainstream. I am looking forward to try a zoom meditation with Gareth ! For anyone here who tried a transmission and did not feel much, weed or a micro/small dose of magic mushroom will make you more sensitive. Also transmissions have a great synergy with psychedelics. Now when I take LSD the energy/grace/consciousness comes very strongly and it is shockingly beautiful and blissful/ecstatic. Also for people concerned about safety, it seems to me that the intelligence inherent to the energy will never push you more than you can handle. I have done 100+ sessions, most of them super intenses, and never had a bad experience. Though it can be challenging of course.

Good video on healthy romantic relationships

Consider the possibility that you are projecting here

Great talk ! I loved when he said : "if I ask someone in 15 years what are psychedelics, I would be disappointed if the answer was antidepressant, or tools for well being. I would much prefer if the answer was something like dance, so the person has to pause and consider before giving an answer" (paraphrasing) For anyone interested by this topic, I recommend this beautiful story : https://hereandnowstudios.com/in-the-light-of-dying-stars-1

@Consilience How do you define sober ? What if someone takes a medicinal mushroom daily like reishi/shiitake/maitake ? These mushrooms are great for general health but also have a subtle effect on mood and consciousness. So is that problematic ? This is true for hedonic drugs, but what about substances that have proven long term benefits, but also alter consciousness in a subtle way ? In those cases you have short term benefits while taking them, but also long term benefits even if you stop using them. Medicinal mushrooms enter this category, but also micro doses of psychedelics it seems. So where do you draw the line ? What would be your argument against using such substances ?
