    @Leo Gura While your points are valid and honest, I think the vast majority of people are simply not ready to experience what you call the Absolute head on, no matter the level of commitment or experience. This is not to say that your approach is ineffective, but rather it seems like an approach exclusively for those who have exhausted every and all last possible option that would be able to then do and practice seriously what you recommend.

    I think @winterknight’s approach is less taxing to the ego, since it allows the ego more wiggle room. That is, if Leo is comparing say a year’s investment of therapy vs. a few psychedelic breakthroughs. I would imagine that the process of going through the ego backlash and shock for most people who do the latter would be much more demanding than therapy long term.

    But then again, one’s desire for the Truth is ultimately what matters, and my opinion probably seems like hogwash compared to the experiences you two have xD

    Is there more depth to understanding?

    Am i just scratching the surface?

    This question would not arise if you were fully conscious. 

    You continue to learn whether you’re ”awake” or “not awake”.

    But are you conscious that you’re beyond all that? And which “I” are you referring to when you say “I finally understood it”?

    —

    By the way, I’ve had these experiences before, that’s why I just wanted to point out the trap of claiming the feeling of “I figured it out”.

    This isn’t some mysterious puzzle about women we need to figure out. If someone doesn’t respond for days, they have low interest. 

    This. And don’t think you’re a failure if a girl doesn’t respond to you for days. I’ve literally texted hundreds of girls, and they’ve all flopped one way or another.

    I’m now texting a girl and she texts me first thing in the morning without me having to try ;)

    The way you process emotions is completely normal.

    Don't explore the Atypicality of this, explore the value you placed in your cat and the barrier placed towards your relatives.

    Remember, the meaning you assign to objects and people is purely relative and imaginary. So if you get attached to a coffee table, you will mourn its loss.

    Thank for the feedback guys. If you didn’t know already I am on the autism spectrum, but was diagnosed late. I’ve always felt like the black sheep and was never comfortable with people because I always felt I had to act a certain way to be loved.

    This is what I’ve noticed especially with my extended family in recent times. I’ve started to realize that their love is highly based on conditions. They don’t want to say it to my face because they don’t want to hurt my feelings, but I can tell that they don’t agree with the path I’ve taken.

    I was with my mom at a therapy session one time. She opened up about how her siblings are upset and critical to her about listening to the stuff I’ve discovered. Stuff about nonduality, God realization, using marijuana for spiritual purposes, etc. 

    Her family is dogmatic and their love is highly based on a hierachy. So the fact that my mom is listening what I’m sharing, her siblings thinks it’s disrespectful and that I don’t know what I’m talking about.

    So yeah, a cat doesn’t give a shit that I smoke weed, have seen God, that I don’t follow a religion, or that I’m even autistic ;)

    There’s a very interesting story about Super Marios Bros. The sequel, Super Mario Bros. 2, was only released in Japan because it was notoriously difficult. The Nintendo of American spokesman, who tested out games for western audience release, flat out rejected it after he couldn’t get past the first few levels. He was known to later say: “Not having fun is bad when you're a company selling fun”

     This video explains it much better than I did:

    It's not right to compare them with MDMA. I don't experience much elevation in heart rate from 5-MeO-DMT or DPT.

    But of course taking them daily is overkill. No one is going to take those substances for more than a few days in a row. It just gets too intense. The most I've done was 13 days in a row, and it's just way more nonduality than a human could want.

    Do you have one of those smartwatches that constantly reads your heart rate? It would be interesting to see what levels you get during your trip, and during the comedown. 

    Of course, they aren’t medical devices and aren’t 100% reliable, but it’s still interesting data nonetheless.

    I don't know if this helps, but remember that not wanting to be alone arose out of the perception of separation.

    It’s great that you mention this. We are so biased as humans since we have survival needs. Notice how these are all just concepts, yet each of us identify with them to various degrees, and our emotions are affected based on what degree of attachment we have to them at a given time:

    - “I don’t want to be alone” ; “I want to be alone”

    -  “I don’t want to die” ; “I want to die”

    - “I identify as a being a man in a woman’s body” ; “I identify as being a woman in a woman’s body”

    - “My girlfriend loves me” ; “My girlfriend is imagined”

    This list could go on forever and ever.

    For many with anxiety disorders weed will trigger panic attacks.   That is also why pyschedelics isn't for everyone.

    I live in New Jersey; weed is only legal for medicinal use. Ironically, weed was legalized in NJ specifically for anxiety disorders just a year and a half ago.

    What I’ve discovered is that high THC strains are notorious for triggering panic attacks and bringing out psychosis. Actually, my theory is that the psychosis has always been in the person, but they learned how to suppress it from years of unconscious habits (i.e. human survival). Weed just brings it to light at full force; thus the panic attack. I see this as a good thing because you actually see the severity and consequence of suppressing those deep psychological issues.

    There is a way to not trigger severe panic attacks on weed. Obviously, you have to have an experimental mindset because weed is so complex and there are an endless selection of strains. I’d advice to start slow and find the strain that seems to work for you; I’ve been able to experience deep insights about myself without going crazy (but I’ve also had crazy experiences, and those have been helpful as well... definitely don’t recommend that for newbies). 

    They even have a strain called ACDC that is high CBD and only little amount of THC (ratio is about 10:1). You can try a 50/50 mix of ACDC with a high THC strain, and that could negate the trigger of panic attacks.

    Here’s a overview of CBD from Examine.com that you guys could read here. This is a quote from the website how about how CBD works:

    ”There's a big catch though! CBD often seems to work better with THC (basically, in the typically consumed or inhaled form of medical cannabis, rather than as isolated CBD). This is often referred to as the "entourage effect" – that a single ingredient might, maybe do a little something, but you need the whole crew of compounds in the plant to have full efficacy. The problem here is that the whole crew can make you high, which is not typically desired in continuously-taken medications, and may even increase the risk of psychosis with longer term use.”

    I personally take an SSRI. I don’t doubt that it does help me stay functional, that is, I am able to go out there and do what I need to do. It’s not a panacea, and there are probably long term consequences for taking them for a long time for most people. However, not being on them at this stage of my life is worse for me, as I fall deep into old bad habits.

    My ultimate goal is to not depend on them. The choices I make now will dictate how long that process will take, but there’s no rush for me to get off them.

    You have to be honest with yourself and ask why you’re taking them. Other people will say what they have to say, but realize that majority of them have never had to deal with a mental health disorder.

    When psycho-analysis allows you to contact machine elves and communicate with them through multiple dimensions of  symbolism and telepathy, or to get direct downloads from the mind of God, or to pull demonic spirits out of a patient's body, then let's talk.

    I heard there’s another way to get “direct downloads from the mind of God”...

    ... through Torahnts

    (okay I’ll admit that joke was dry af lol)

    Let's use that same logic when your mother gets killed.

    Do you see how your logic falls apart as soon as the tables are turned?

    I cried feverishly when my cat (that I only had for 5 months died). I didn’t shed a single tear or have any emotions when any of my relatives died.

    I guess the way I process emotions is atypical to most, so I’d be interesting in exploring it more.
