@Javfly33 Yea I never quite understood those reactions either. I suspect its because that is often their first time doing it and they start off with a high dose. I slowly worked my way up with dosage and so was basically completely silent and still at the very high doses. But if someone off the street were to do a high dose without doing it before, I imagine they'd go berserk.

@FlyingLotus Wow, amazing work. Thanks a bunch

@-Rowan Yea I wouldn't over think this. Pick something that you can work with for a while. It doesn't have to be some final thing. This can change moving forward. It will change. Most important thing you need to be doing right now is taking action to build the necessary skills.

Good opportunity to share one of Kip's videos. Has to be one of the most conscious people on the platform:

@blessedlion1993 Yea its super impressive and inspiring tbh.

@khalifa Tricky to answer this because it's such uncharted territory. If they're not as common as they used to be then its possible they will eventually completely subside. I know that people who have kundalini related energy symptoms report it subsiding after a while, but its gonna be different for everyone. I definitely had a lot of energy in the body for a long time after my last session in mid 2020. I would constantly feel like I needed to shake the body, like release tension almost. It's gone now. This is just speculating and guessing but i'd say it isn't a neurological issue but just energy trapped in the body. This is quite common for people engaging in spiritual work.

@Leo Gura How did your interview with Curt Jaimungal go?

I went to a Goenka vipassana retreat here in the UK 18 months ago and spent 60% of the time doing something like the Do Nothing technique, the other 30% doing fast labelling. I didn't do the body scanning at all. Just don't tell the managers or teachers because they'll probably throw you out.

Locked at request of OP

There is a big difference between seeing aliens/inter-dimensional beings, and then Pure Eternal Infinity, even though both might be realised after taking a psychedelic. Consider that it's possible to take a psychedelic and be 100% absolutely certain that what was realised is Absolutely True, without a single speck of doubt or confusion. Crystal clear perfect direct consciousness. Unmistakable. Undoubtable. Undeniable. This is possible for you. If you remain skeptical, and if you are still thinking in terms of 'how real something was', you haven't gone anywhere near far enough. Direct Consciousness is not in the realm of whether something is 'real' or not. It is totally different, totally beyond any of that. Also consider that its possible to take a psychedelic and then become directly conscious without a shadow of doubt that the notion of you taking a psychedelic at some point in the past which led to having profound realisations is 100% invented from nothing by you, and that no psychedelic could ever be the 'cause' of a Direct Consciousness a.k.a Eternal Infinity.

I'm very excited about Neuralink, but its true potential is a long way off, many decades away. And I suspect scaling it up will be a big road block because it literally requires a brain operation to get it implanted. And that operation has to be done by a very specialist machine. So Neuralink will have to mass produce their brain needle machines before anything goes anywhere near mainstream. So yea, a long way off.

Seriously underrated comment! Perseverance is everything!

Locking for low quality. Try to put some more substance into your posts without clickbaity titles.

Just switch to USA with a VPN.

@TheAlchemist I've been watching John for a few years now. He's such a joy to listen to. Quite heavily influenced by Christian mysticism, but he has a lot of very insightful things to say. I have cried many tears listening to John's words. One of my favourites are his two videos he did in Portugal (search for it in his videos).

@EntheogenTruthSeeker Have you looked into heavy metal toxicity? Do you have metal amalgam fillings?

Correlation does not equal causation. Be careful with your comments about the user who committed suicide. This is very complex, nuanced and delicate subject which you are turning into mindless gossip. It's a completely separate matter. If you have some genuine and intelligent critiques of Leo's work, please do so. Trying to pointlessly debunk one or two things Leo said months ago is not useful or productive for you or for anyone else. Just let it go man.

Thats nice and an important insight, but still maybe only 1% of what 5-MeO can do.

I think you're confusing mild psychedelic states with Infinite Consciousness. Sure, with mid-level psychedelic trips, and with some chemicals, you can delude yourself in many different ways. I've personally never had that experience, of doubting myself or doubting the validity of a psychedelic experience, insight etc (whatever that means). But i'm sure it can happen. The "what if it was just the drug" thing actually dissolves at a high enough 'level'/ certain state of consciousness. It becomes very clear that there is no person to take the psychedelic, no brain mixing with a chemical and actually no psychedelic at all. That is all a 'past' story or construct that is created/imagined within Eternity/Infinity. It's totally constructed out of nothing. No chemical can create or cause Actual Infinite God.

@noticeom If you're having genuine awakenings from meditation then psychedelics may not be as necessary for you as others. Buts thats no reason to not experiment and test the waters. It will likely improve the quality of your psychedelic experiences. They're necessary for some people because some people likely don't have the spiritual 'genetics' to have non-psychedelic awakenings. Although ultimately this distinction between non-psychedelic and psychedelic awakenings dissolves. An actual realisation of absolute Truth is utterly unmistakable and undeniable. There is no doubt. One does not realise Absolute Truth and then wonder whether it was a hallucination or not. It is beyond debate, beyond thinking, beyond doubt, beyond scepticism, and certainly beyond any kind of visual distortion or 'hallucination'. Infinity is Infinity. You either get it or you don't. To ask your question is to misunderstand what a realisation of Absolute Truth entails. It's not something that is understood by mind in a rational, linear way. Totally beyond that.

Basically just a rather rigid, overly scripted react video.

Noted. In all fairness I don't really know. Just a gut feeling I have from the limited amount of content i've seen of his. I may spend some more time listening to his teachings. Although these days I don't really absorb too much spiritual content, except for the odd video.

Relative to most people, yes. Relative to other teachers and highly conscious people, questionable.

The much anticipated podcast episode has been released: @Leo Gura feel free to hide this post if you wanted to post the video yourself on the blog etc.

@Periergos I've read a number of reports quite similar to yours. It's a weird one. I just can't believe that someone could take 40mg of pure 5-MeO and not realise God. I suspect that the quality of the substance probably plays a large role in this.
