@The0Self I'm curious to know exactly what evidence there is that combining the two is bad? I've heard taking the 2 together is bad, but that taking creatine as a caffeine consumer is ok, which would often mean caffeine would be in your system when taking it. Kinda just sounds like some bro science to me.

If Leo did in fact say ALL conspiracy videos, then I guess he has a point lol, I could see Leo's passion might lead to accidentally coming off as too generalising or too arrogant. If you express a lot of passion you're bound to not be 100% in every single statement, you'd have to be pretty damn clinical and somewhat robotic to do so, and that wouldn't register with many people.

for me it was just "omg im dying, omg im dying, im dying no no no pls no omg nnnnnnooooooooaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" https://giphy.com/gifs/thecoolidge-akira-coolidge-corner-theatre-E0Cm36pxzqIQX2hvz7/fullscreen This gif sums it up pre nice lmao

Of course, there is no "you" to execute free will over what beliefs the ego-mind will attach itself to. Same goes for all decisions made in life, the river stream of consciousness flows with no opinion, no belief, no mind, no thought. Only the ego-mind creates such delusions for its own survival. This enlightened state where emptiness is glimpsed however cannot be a belief as it isn't even a thought itself, and only experience can prove its existence. Beliefs aren't really important to this work imo. But wtf do i know lol.

@Sleyker AHAHAHA omg yes

I use to worry about this, then I had a non-dual experience and realised there's nothing to worry about, like electro beam said listen to your heart, not your head, not your ego, if your life purpose is genuine then not much should change other than your values surrounding said life purpose will become more selfless, but if anything this will generate even more passion in your life as it begins serving a greater goal. Try to generate more of the LOVE aspect of enlightened and you will be beaming my friend.

Yea I had a psychedelic experience from unbelievably potent weed on the beach that put me straight into no-mind, no-self samadhi only to realise that I literally created the entire universe, granted there were a lot of factors that lead to this, but fuck me people shouldn't underestimate weed man.

Watch out dude, I've seen this before

Manic episode incoming

I wouldn't write off Changa, a friend I know who makes it informed me that you can in fact hit breakthrough territory quite easily, and that it's probably better to do so through Changa then with synthetic since it's more grounded/earthly and not so much of a sledgehammer leaving you saying "WTF" with zero reference point, and also better than ayahuasca since you're not puking your guts out around hippies that won't shave their armpits lmfao.

Everyone's path is vastly different, I know personally I had to get at least some basic understanding of non-duality to find that peace within myself before going out and chasing career aspirations, if it wasn't for this my ego would have gotten far too in the way, would have taken things far too personally and too seriously, and thus the stress of that would've surely meant my ultimate failure. But to be fair I hungered this from a young age, had I never found this I would have been lost and forever confused. Suffering is an excellent teacher, and it's ultimately showing you the universe in a way sees potential in you. It's easy to love others when things are going well, but try doing that in the face of total darkness, of narcissistic types sucking the pure life out of you, of toxic relationships draining your energy, or when financial burdens begin to creep into your mind. To maintain such compassion in the face of all of this is unbelievably difficult, and yet it will force you to grow and mature very fast. It's in the pit of suffering where you will find some of the deepest and most authentic insights, where all your fears and vulnerabilities will be left naked before you.

Amazing report, I resonate a lot with this experience, definitely sounds familiar to my 250ug trip, even the picture you posted looks similar to the vision I had, except instead it was an infinite geometric column of Buddhas expanding in all directions for eternity as the light got brighter and brighter until I completely and totally dissolved into nothingness, but the nothingness was pure light, pure consciousness; the very essence of one's being. During such a process you see all the fears and insecurities the ego creates and realise it to be nothing but barriers from you experiencing god, with the ultimate solution being a state of total and complete surrender/letting go. THIS! Haha I'm still in the same position you are, and whilst contemplation is utterly crucial I found these 2 guides useful for getting back to that state of "pure being", if it wasn't for these guides I would've completely forgotten what the hell "pure being" even means. Maybe it isn't for everybody but I find that state of total non-doership to be the easiest way to empty the mind and subsequently have these sorts of experiences, albeit to a milder extent. Extremely peaceful though. When the mind is completely silent this essence simply reveals itself of its own accord, without the ego having to get in the way whatsoever.

@Mafortu How would you know? I've had paranormal experiences myself that others in the same house have also shared that were all eerily similar to mine, which included floating objects, bizarre sounds and much more, that the son of psychic would have visions/nightmares about during this debacle without having any prior contact to any of us.

@zeroISinfinity Shhhhh my son....more love is needed. May you be well.

Yea never found much of a reason to take such big doses especially since like Leo said one might just end up not knowing wtf is happening which is just the worst honestly. Would be better to stay within the 100-300microgram range and just meditate/contemplate a fuck ton in the midst of the experience. Alternatively 80-100 mics can be useful when doing the same but I could never enter that ego dissolving point, but definitely helps spark some creative inspiration.

I'd look into Lions Mane and take it daily alongside the microdosing protocol for maximum neurogenesis effects, Paul Stamets on Rogan's podcast briefly discusses this I believe. I take it myself and have a much better brain for it. (Nootropics Depot 8:1 is the form I take). It will definitely help you see the brighter side of things.

His books are something else

Can defs agree a strong foundation is important, the spiritual ego may as well be a meme at this point it's so abundant. Terms like "empath" and "indigo child" kinda grind my gears and is usually coming from mentally unstable people often being abused by narcissists from what I've seen (but that discussion's probably for another time). Being able to understand the ego and how it functions and skews one's perception alongside separating oneself from the emotion of a situation in my opinion is critical for this work. Total and complete surrender is crucial too, but this also means surrendering one's scientific beliefs as well. All beliefs must be let go of for one to see this consciousness from my experience. Holding onto anything will rob you of the opportunity. What you do following this experience and how you interpret it however is what ultimately makes all the difference, which is where this critical thinking comes into play, plenty of idiots have glimpsed this on psychs and come back equally stupid and clueless. This is why I actually think LESS people should be doing psychs, their ego has way too many defences and they can't handle being so exposed so fast. But on another note I do have a hunch you're holding onto the scientific framework purely out of fear of what will happen if you were to even temporarily surrender it to see what comes to you on the other side. Fear is just another barrier (the ultimate barrier between you and god imo).

Bro u just have diarrhoea from purging the negative spirits myyyyyyaaaaaannnnnnn cmooonn myaaaannnn

I love the trippy 360 shots, deadass feels like the trip I had where I would switch through other people's perspectives upon the death of my ego.

Ahhhh yess. The cosmic joke you were playing with yourself until this very moment. Sit back, relax and laugh. The ride shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Agreed, especially when "enlightenment" has so many different degrees and flavours. It's a useless label. The spectrum is too vast.

Alan watts quote?? Hahaha such a good one

Formlessness is literally the god-mind, all of reality is a conceptualisation of this very god-mind.

@Tim R Nothing @Arzack If there's a you to experience formlessness then it isn't formless. Being is totally selfless.
