    @ardacigin Very good and interesting post. Though while I agree with many of your points, I am someone who dove into the spiritual path starting with a 10 day Vipassana almost 3 years ago now. And I got free flow (scanning, Goenka) on my first retreat, and though it was hellish at times being there, it motivated me tremendously. I was the typical atheist type (though it had begun to shift prior to that) so when I actually felt the energy it was like discovering magic. So for me personally, it really helped me in that sense.

    I can see the problems, though. I mean l actually am quite amazed so many complete newbies stick with the program. And also, though my energy sky rocketed, it didn't actually help me the first 2 years. The energy and stuff happening in my body motivated me and I knew I was doing something right, it didn't feel like the actual Vipassana practice helped me, I just stuck with it because what else to do? Hoping my investment would pay off. I see the fruits now, and things are happening very rapidly and truly I feel blessed today.

    It also depends on what people are there. Many people are there because they heard it was helpful "and the wife thinks I am too stressed out so I should do it", that kinda thing. The majority attending are not hardcore seekers or even know what enlightenment is.

    I think these centers do way more good than harm though.

    It would be very hard to get through to his audience. They tend to skew conservative and hyper masculine and rationalist.

    They would see me as a religious fanatic, SJW, hippie soy boy.

    You never know what you are gonna get with Rogan either. If you look at his 2 pods with Wim Hof for example, on the first he was respectful and nice and on the other he was really rude and condesending.

    @peanutspathtotruth I have not smoked DPT so I can't comment on that. I've only snorted DPT and yeah, it smells bad and it has a bad drip but it gets the job done. I've snorted 100mg+ and it is not pleasant and if you get a drip down your throat it will sometimes feel numbing and swelling, it's not something you want to get paranoid about with DPT about to take you in. So breath it in slowly and gently and sit so you prevent it from getting down there. I've never felt any real restriction to my breathing though, but just so you know. Today I would definitely plug it.

    I did not try plugging yet. In the case it really won't work for me, what is the next ROA you would recommend? Snorting?

    There really is no other option than snorting it then. Unless you IV or shoot it in the muscle and that is NOT recommended when you don't know the exact purity of it. Or look up a guide on how to convert the fumerate to freebase and smoke it.

    I have noticed that DPT activates the 3rd eye area. My forehead starts to tingle and expand in this amazing way.

    Yes. I don't know if my years with DPT helped activate this area for me but it has been, and it expands as you say or creates space. Since a year, or little less, back I have been able to stay centered there. Yogananda said if you keep your gaze centered there at all times it will haste spiritual progress. And the more you pay attention to the spot the more it will deepen and the easier it will be to rest there.

    @Leo Gura With tapping into the collective of a certain species it makes me think of that banned TED talk from Rupert Sheldrake. His morphic resonance theory where his hypothesis is that for example rats in London learns a trick and then rats in New York learns it way faster because it gets remembered in the collective of the species. Does your direct experience say it is so? 

    So I am God right, and I am centered here and everything I see is imaginery. So if I look at "you", also centered, we are looking at "eachother" from the same center but will have a different visual field obviously? Is this what you mean? I hope that made sense

    Your latest videos have really blown my mind, 5-meo-dmt (omniscience), dpt and the reality one. I've gotten many insights from them. It's great that you share so much in various forms and I am grateful that you do.

    @ardacigin Very cool. Thanks for sharing and for the effort you put into this. I incorporate some of Shinzen's techniques in my everyday life, like "hear in, feel in, see in". I had such a flow with that technique for many days straight that my ego backlashed for months. He is great. Never heard of Culadasa actually. Will definitely check him out. Sounds like he is a consciousness nerd just like Shinzen :)

    Thanks for sharing. Fascinating stuff. There are many paths towards the Divine. This may be frowned upon but that's part of their work, to break social taboos. The dark and more violent parts of humanity has to be acknowledged and accepted to. The west has taken parts of this (Tantra, left-handed/vimachara) and from it comes satanism and all of those paths basically, but much less sophisticated. So that's what the west does with parts of eastern traditions often. They take parts that are alluring and exciting, sometimes steal the name right from it and have an absurdly watered down version of it.

    I couldn't find answers to this question, so I'm asking here:
    The only form I could get the DPT in is fumarate. That's a salt right, so the ROA here would be plugging or insufflating?

    Correct

    So I have a vacation coming up in 2 and a half weeks. I am in the planning stages of doing a dark room retreat in my bathroom. I will cover the door glitchtes to make sure no light will penetrate. There is ventilation in the bathroom. I will not fast, just have dry fruit and nuts with me in. 

    I was thinking 5-6 days. From a source I heard in the beginning you will just get accustomed to the darkness, you might sleep a lot in the beginning as a defense mechanism but after around 3 days you won't be able to. Then the mind will face the dark and eventually it will calm and that's when you start your practices.

    I am gonna to put on an alarm(s) outside for when to know when to get out.

    So any advice would be helpful. Has anyone been on one or done one themselves? What should I be wary of? I expect this to be hard.

    It's possible with a body. I have been there many times. But living from that place isn't too practical.

    @Corpus The body is imaginary, including all those bacteria you're imagining. Cancer is imaginary too.

    But even if you become deeply enlightened, let's say like Ralston. Why can't you get access to do the creation aspect of God? Like materializing things through will, you think? Or you probably can, but do you think that is on the deepest levels of enlightenment?
