@khalifa "The Die-offs/dark nights are a “biochemical process” which secondarily brings about the dissolution of the operational personality structure for “a period of time”. The brain is undergoing such a catastrophic neurological meltdown and renewal, that the ego personality and functionality is temporarily completely non operational. Depending on ones inner resources at the time and whether one is essentially imbued with a biological faith or has a tendency to fear, depression and self-hatred—this will determine whether the incapacitation is navigated positively or simply adds to the burden of an already diffcult life. The psychologicalemotional story one gives to interpret this autogenic “biological” event, is secondary to the chemistry, and yet is absolutely key to whether one can use the down cycles to further ones spiritual growth, or simply cause an escalation of our primary suffering. For every up there is a down, so it is understandable that depression might result after the over-stimulation of the brain’s pleasure centers and increase in endorphins, during the bliss of kundalini. Depression could also result as the left-brain loses its normal adaptive function during the frst few years of the major cycle. Loss of left-brain prefrontal lobe function could lead to paranoia, frustration, self-pity and other negative emotions. Kundalini restructures us to a higher order, enabling us to live a spiritual life in the material world. The Die-off’s in particular should be regarded with awe and gratitude as very good news. They don’t last long and we do not transform without them. The old must die for the new to be reborn. So the highs and lows of the kundalini cycle should be celebrated equally" From the book biology of kundalini (Jana Dixon). Best book I have found about kundalini, highly recommend this.

I just can recommend Master of earth He suddenly left youtube. Dont know if he is still alive, he had many followers

@Salvijus I agree with you totally Kundalini force was once activated during smoking weed. It is absolute powerful. It really felt like my lower back and ass are on fire I was shocked, but it was also funny. I was fine after this event, never thought about it again. It was just for 30 seconds. I dont want to know how this is 24/7, this force is very heavy, but natural

@nowimhere Lol this is marketing trick. The very first event also popped in my home town. I am from germany By the way, you are from canada, your event does not show up in this list. Other events appear totally random

after. not from experience speaking, but you dont know if your trip gets hairy. If it turns out into a bad trip, a vipassana retreat would be too hard to do I think. After bad trip, you dont want to meditate on this you want to chill out and do something else but not something spiritual

@Sage Kriya is more powerful than anything I tried so far. But just pranayama (breathing) works for me instantly, other techniques are still effective but I think there needs to be more exercises to get effects from these

@ThomasT Even if you cannot remember the old stage, do you miss it? I am still afraid of a breakthrough experience where my ego dies because I dont know if I like this big change after this. If it is worth or if I will struggle for the rest of my life to get over this

I used holosync for one year with little breaks in between. It definitively had an effect during the day, sometimes I got overwhelmed by beauty, with tingling effects. I also got very emotional sometimes, when I saw a movie with a beautiful scene tears will come, I never cried before just because of a movie scene What I also recognized: My legs spontaneously moved before sleep or during hearing holosync I stopped holosync because I went into kriya yoga, which is also powerful

@Riblet Roblet Resources plz. I am also on the path of longevity. My conclusion so far after years of research: A lot of sports (yoga, weight lifting, jogging) Clean diet. No meat, no wheat, no shugar, no milk products, no attitives like emulgators mental peace (meditation) sun protection good environment (clear air, no noise, beautiful place)

How can I utilize music for my psychedelic trips (AL-LAD) for best spiritual growth? In which phase would it be good to use music? At the beginning, during the peak or in the come down phase? Or would it better to meditate in silence the whole time? What are your experiences on these questions, I would be glad to hear them

@khalifa Ok sorry for my miss diagnosing. This sounds not like sleep paralysis but like kundalini awakening, which is great news if you are prepared for this (if not, well... there are enough reports how to handle if the symptoms get too strong). Just stay away from any mind alternating drug for some time I think. The kundalini energy will transform you to a higher level being

@khalifa I dont know about the exact happening during sleep paralysis, All I can say is, it will stay for some days or weeks and the suddenly will go away as quick as you can think. I miss it very much, for me just hard training, and forcing yourself to stay awake for hours during night can produce this vibrational stage According to some yogis, a human being just need 3 hours sleep (not 8 hours), be total relaxed during the day so the body will get its restfulness. Eat good, have relaxed body posture, enjoy your super human nature and this vibrational stage as long as you have it. It will go and you will miss it very much

Hey, this vibrating during sleep time sounds like "Sleep paralysis", this is the case when you are so conscious that the mind is active and the body sleeps at the same time. Are these vibrating phases enjoyable to you? To me it was the first times scary but then I got used to it and I enjoyed it very much. You can move your astral body during this time, even get out of your body if you are relaxed

@Riblet RobletThat s quite a lot trip background, can you tell me how much value they gave for your overall journey? Would you do it again or what would you change? What would you do better? You seem like a serious seeker, welcome to this forum

Hey there, There was recently a thread about Practices to do while on psychedelics. I now want to differenciate this a little bit. I ask all Psychonauts here how to they think they get the most spiritual experience out of psychedelics. What practices works best for you during these phases: Setting: Your preparations for the trip, your environment Phase 1: Come up phase Phase 2: Start tripping until peak Phase 3: Come down phase after peak Bad Trip case: What do you do when you suddenly feel fear and panic coming up? When you feel overwhelmed? ------------ For me: Setting: At home in my room in the morning, alone. On empty stomach Phase 1: Meditating, eyes closed, a little Yoga exercises ( a little kriya yoga, downward dog pose not too much because I dont want to get exhausted) Phase 2: Meditating, eyes opened. No Music. No Eating. Phase 3: Random stuff: eating, hearing music, meditating Bad trip case: I stand up, eat some sweet fruits. If this does not help, I take a cold shower. If this does not help I go jogging in the park

@Leo Gura How do you see music as a tool during tripping in general. When should you use it, when it is helpful, or is it jst a distraction and you should just do it in the come up phase?

@Rodrigo SIlva Very good questions. What do you understand high doses? are 200 micgrogram lsd high dose? For me high doses give enormous growth but also a lot of time for integration. Middle doses also have their value but very subtle and often times the trip is boring for me

Very nice report, good to read and thank you! I never tried 5 meo because I tripped not much. What is your background experience before you tried 5 meo?

@Leo Gura Do you see Absolute truth more truthful than relative truth? Or are these two truths existing together hand in hand somehow? In other words: Should I just consider the absolut truth and dismiss the relative truth as just little dream stuff? If this is so, then I would not care about evolution, politics, economic and other beings and myself as human anymore. because there is just one

If I have the choise to choose between 5 Meo and DPT, on which substance should I start with?

@cle103 with what substance did you have your breakthrough to absolute infinity and is this experience good for everyone or could it be too overwhelming and leave you confused or even traumatizing? I trip on mild dose AL-LAD and my baseline consciousness increased A LOT! But I meditate also every day. I think if I would not do this, my baseline consciousness would be back to normal very quickly.

nice post, welcome to this forum. But dont start seeing leo as a guru, What exactly is the point of this thread? There is already another post discussing the blog post

@Leo it sounds like you are dismissing duality. Are you really dismissing duality or do you just want us to be more open minded, more curious about this non duality stuff? It sounds to me you start a war against duality, like alle these people who are living in dualistic world are delusional,. My brother lived the first 15 years of his life in non duality, then his perspective shifted and he was living in duality since then. He was totally shocked as this happened. When I switch to non duality, maybe I will be shocked, too? How do I know if I like non duality? What I know is, that I love to live in duality. I have the perfect life. Should I still pursue non duality?

Hello there, I have already some experience on AL-LAD and my plan is to trip 10 times on AL-LAD, each aroud 150-200 microgram. My goals with this plan is mainly spiritual: to grow a lot, to get insight, to purify me, to help me being more conscious even during the day. To come closer to god On the day offs I meditate for 30 minutes and do some pranama exercises. My question is, should I open or close my eyes during the trip? Personally I like more eyes closed during meditation. I feel save here. But I ask me if I get more out of a trip if I open my eyes. Can I experience all the spiritual stuff like non dualty also with eyes closed? What is better in your opinion? Are there some dangers?

@outlandish Thanks for your answer. I plan to lie on my bed with closed eyes and just be. But I agree with you that AL-LAD is more open eyed type of a drug Maybe I plan different settings. I never tripped alone on the beach, would this work with AL-LAD? Or could this be too much of visual experience? like the whole ocean is breathing, this would be scary just thinking about
