And meditate most importantly. Unless someone is a pretty stable person in generally, has some knowledge of wisdom/spirituality. As most people are really not that stable or have any good sense of spirituality (and most people think they are more stable than they think). To them I would not recommend a heavy dose of psychedelics if they have not meditated daily for at least 6 months prior, preferably at least 30+ min a day in one setting so they might have a slight clue with whom they are dealing.

Attached egos are at risk, egos that are not ready to open up, not willing to look at themselves. That might create a backlash you don't want to see.

Is smoking freebase 100% effective at using all of the material? But only with a lesser duration? So snorting HCL wastes some, and needs proper technique which may be challenging. How well does under the tongue work with HCL?

Maybe try Bashar's detox methods. He says 80-90% of all disease come from a build up of toxins in the body that go sit in the cells which cause the cells to not be able to absorb nutrients properly which weakens the immune system and allows for opportunistic organisms to take take effect. He has spoken about combining 3000mg of vitamin C and 3000 mg MSM sulfur 3 times a day or the highly effective herbal detox formulas of Dr. Schulze. Good opportunity to test his validity perhaps.

To summarize, when he was doing 5-MeO with his wife he found that he could take a hit and she would feel it in her experience. This started his practice of guiding people through the experience at a very intense 1-1 level, because he could feel where they were holding back, this resulted in him feeling what he needed to do with his body to their body, and when he would find their blocks sometime he could even release it for them; he would puke and that would cause a release in their bodies. - As to your idea, you know this is about dealing with deep stored emotions right? Things that you are suppressing subconsciously, exposing your fears. I wouldn't want to do that with a stranger personally.

Though this is an endogenous neurotransmitter. As for schizophrenia, that stuff is so misunderstood. A longer post for something that might seem a bit off topic but it's worth mentioning because being the victim of becoming insane is one of the biggest fears of the western mind. 1st. There is never anything that can make you lose your free will to think positive, (learn to) still the mind, face your trauma and rest as still sane awareness. There really is no risk at all if you know this and know that any disturbances come from the ego based of (unconscious) negative imprints. Second we are dealing with 2 different things when talking about schizophrenia when it is developed later in life, there is 'schizophrenia' that consists of : Spiritual awakening (Opening of the psychic senses, seeing reality in a new light, more energy, change in behavior, become aware of synchronicity). This already tends to sound like a 'broken brain in most materialist eyes. And An overdrive of the ego that shoots into projection and denial, the ego puts itself as the victim of it's fears and or the ego denies it's own lack of self worth by trying to become grandiose. 'But isn't it genetic' No. Identical twins do not always get it together, so it cannot be solely genetic. Though Identical twins have a 25-50% chance to be diagnosed together and around 10% for fraternal twins, this could be because genetics may cause one to be more prone to stress or psychic opening and because identical twins are also closer to each other in life. But genetics can never decide your state of mind regardless, and if you find your mind to be at the seeming subject of despair/unrest it's because of unconscious negative imprints (trauma or told fear based beliefs) and you need to face/feel them. I've been through this process, had multiple diagnoses, and it all went away when I finally found spirituality/non-duality and just went within, and I removed a deep long depression and schizophrenic mind within a year all by myself.

Because it's a waste or because it's harmful? So under the tongue with HCL could work. Sounds good, anyone tried this?

What are all the difference between freebase vs. HCL (salt). I know that you can snort HCL: which gives a 3x longer plateau experience (10-45 min), with a 10 times longer come down (30-60 min), but the come up is much slower (5 min) apposed the instant smoking effect. I know that HLC is slighly more heavy (1.2 to 1 vs freebase). I heard Leo say you can't smoke HCL but I heard Martin say you can, but that it's hard to smoke and you should vape it (iirc).- I'm wondering, since HCL lasts much longer, does freebase compensate that in anyway with a stronger potency per mg?

I also notice how there seems to be a surprising amount of 'otherness' in musicians, I suppose this goes for artists in general, but to me it's noticeable how much the soul/afterlife/God is referred to in songs whereas these are topics the general public doesn't really openly talk about often, at all. Other than that musicians are always noticeably more expressive. Also, I've said this often, but singing is an amazing spiritual tool. There is nothing more fear revealing that trying to sing from our soul, if you do it mindfully (which you must anyways). And I am sure that almost everyone here who hasn't sung yet will be surprised at how good they can sing (if they have moments wherein they can let their fear ego), because when you go all in without any holding back you sound AMAZING. And suddenly you listen to other artists and you think 'gosh, why did I put them on a pedestal, I can do this too!!', another toxic cultural limiting belief BUSTED.

Martin Ball doesn't seem unenlightened to me. Enlightenment doesn't mean slowing down your character per se.

Music is fucking magic. As your meditation practice deepens you can let go more into and really be absorbed within it and it'll give you the waves of goosebumps and you go deeper into feeling, it's really nice.

Why not show them it's just science.

Interview with a really good Harvard dude on exactly this

Conversations with God by Neale Walsch (all parts free to read online, was on the NYT best seller list for 137 weeks, incredibly intelligent) http://www.universe-people.com/english/svetelna_knihovna/htm/en/en_kniha_conversations_with_god_1.htm p1

Good shit Leo

The questions are just pointers to feelings, which are always deeper than thoughts.

Mantras are great to control the mind, change your brain/consciousness/habit from worrying to being focused and centered, which will help to go and stay focused on the awareness/beingness to eventually breakthrough into self realization. TM is kind of scammy though, they sell a secret mantra from a special teacher which is nothing more than a sound based on your age. You can use any kind of word, I would recommend something that you feel most affinity with, perhaps 'love' or names of the referring to the One are usually recommended, and doing it with love.

Ahh, his book profits go to kids in south India, that's always good to hear.

A very interesting character that I see as absolutely awake. He says all the good stuff and just is a joy and love to watch:

Same goes for singing. Everyone can have an amazing voice if they let their soul and passion shine through, it's good spiritual practice too because really putting that sound out of you can flare up the ego quite well.

Scientists might be having a little bit more of a hard time in than others general with awakening perhaps because of the strong indoctrination of the ego that has to figure something out, and when it gets it it's a good boy. Well, turns out there's nothing to get because thoughts and concepts are just thought and always belong to that imagined self, the real you can only be.

I don't think so, you help the mentally ill.

It's so funny the most profound truth is the most simple obvious paradox, what a paradox again!

I use it sometimes, edibles are great, otherwise the experience is always so short. Had my first semi-bliss like experience the other day through self inquiry (or another good label for it, the feel 'I' mantra), where i could feel the field of consciousness all around resonating with parts of my body, it was wonderful and it has deepened my every day consciousness and practice permanently. drugs ftw

You ARE love, but the mind obstructs it with the defensive ego it has build around it self.
