You mix up ego dream and God dream that can confuse. You are god and I am God. We share a dream. If you as God decides that I should be dead , I could still live on in my dream. It may not match up with consensus dream.

That does mean others exist like me? They are just completely stuck in their imagination like me? I imagine them to exists and they imagine that me exist? The collective illusion? Which matches ultimately reality? Because both exist it's just they are completely in their own version of a bubble? Leo's video about Infinity of God would explain that all too. It's like a online multiplayer, each computer (aka a God) could play their own games however all computers run the same game in real time more or less (some computers have not enough graphic power to render all NPCs, some are lagging). If you take a psychedelic it's like disrupting the game. like mods or cheat codes in a game.

Yes I asked Leo the same question. Leo is evolving his view. Maybe he will come to a full circle where outer word and others exists like you. A mutiplayer game played by Gods.

@ActualizedJohn You can do it, your age is ok. There is no real preparation prior with classic psychedelics like lsd anyway. So if you feel ready, do it. Just plan that you may take a week off. just in case. And read about non-duality, watch martin ball videos so that you can get a feeling, in what you get into with this substance.After researching ask yourself in all honesty: Do you have trust in this substance? Do you have trust in this ceremonie? Are they really experts or just starting? Are you fit? Are you ready to let go of your life for a moment? Are you ready for a mystical experience? If yes to all then take the chance!

Did I misunderstood you or do you have a new view on reality? Back then you promoted that that what you perceive in front of you, this solipsistic bubble of sensation is all there is. At all. There exists nothing behind it. That's the whole universe. So if you look at a white wall and perceive only that with your sensations thats all that exist in the whole universe. Just this white wall.nothing else. Not only for you but for everything. So I and everyone here cheases to exists from our reality, the sun, the moon, trump. All non existent.because Leo watched the white wall. He took the whole universe with him.

@What Am I thanks for your honest answer. What would you do different in the past with the understanding you have right now? What exactly is the understanding you have? Sorry if you already wrote about, could not extract it.

No not at all. It has nothing to do with the stuff I see on an astral journey. By the way on an astral projection you have almost zero emotions. You are just the observer and you know you are invincible because everything you see is made up by your subconscious. I never encountered anything negative. It feels like being sick from too much virtual reality playing. Your brain hurts. Can you share a bit more about your possible observed long-term effects on 20 years of tripping? I know it's anecdotal but still very interesting to hear from someone like you who tripped so long.

You ever had sore muscle after a heavy workout? It feels not good but after some days your muscles adapt and you are stronger and fitter. I had heavy hangovers after astral projection, more nasty than any hangover from various research chemicals I loaded into my body. So how can that be that non chemical journey feels even more unhealthy in terms of a hangover? So it's not clear at all. It could be just that your brain is growing/ improving and that restructuring can give you headaches like muscles hurt after a heavy workout. If you tell about long-term effects this would be a complete different issue. I remember you said some time ago that you would be more concerned in terms of toxicity in a salad than in a psychedelic. It seems nowadays you change your opinion and are just warning others to be very careful? Whatever happened to you, I hope that you didn't got a Tinnitus from too much tripping.

I asked Chatgpt4 o the same question: Me: hatha yoga - asanas are not ancient? Chatgpt4 o:" The belief that Hatha yoga asanas (postures) are not ancient has gained traction due to research suggesting that many of the physical postures commonly associated with modern yoga are relatively recent innovations. Here are some key points: 1. **Historical Development**: Traditional texts on Hatha yoga, such as the Hatha Yoga Pradipika (15th century) and the Gheranda Samhita (17th century), describe only a few asanas, mostly seated poses for meditation or simple postures like the lotus position. The emphasis was more on pranayama (breathing techniques), mudras (gestures), and bandhas (locks). 2. **Influence of Physical Culture**: Many of the standing and dynamic asanas commonly practiced today seem to have been influenced by physical culture movements in India and Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Figures such as T. Krishnamacharya integrated elements from gymnastics, wrestling, and other physical disciplines into yoga practice. 3. **Modern Interpretations**: The proliferation of various yoga styles, such as Vinyasa, Ashtanga, and Bikram, often involves sequences and postures not found in traditional texts. These styles have evolved over the past century, reflecting contemporary fitness trends and the global spread of yoga. 4. **Research and Scholarship**: Scholars like Mark Singleton and Elizabeth De Michelis have extensively studied the history of modern yoga, documenting how many aspects of contemporary yoga practice developed in the 20th century. Therefore, while certain foundational aspects of Hatha yoga, such as breath control and meditation, have ancient roots, many of the asanas practiced today are relatively modern innovations." Me: asanas are primarily learned through practice. having grown up in South India, i have witnessed many sitthars performing complex asanas in remote areas. Their knowledge is passed down through the guru-shishya parampara and is not documented in writing. These lineages are different from the ones you have listed. Chatgpt4 o: " Your perspective highlights an important aspect of the transmission of yogic knowledge that is often overlooked in academic discussions: the oral and experiential traditions passed down through the guru-shishya parampara (teacher-disciple lineage). Here are a few points to consider regarding the transmission and origins of asanas within these traditional lineages: 1. **Oral Tradition and Experiential Learning**: Many traditional practices, especially in regions like South India, are preserved through oral transmission and direct practice under the guidance of a guru. These practices might not be documented in texts but have been maintained through generations of practitioners. 2. **Diverse Lineages**: India has a rich diversity of yogic traditions and lineages, many of which have their unique sets of practices, including asanas. These lineages can differ significantly from those codified in well-known texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika or those popularized by modern yoga teachers. 3. **Siddhar Traditions**: The Siddhar tradition, especially prominent in Tamil Nadu, is known for its advanced yogic practices, including complex asanas, pranayama, and meditation techniques. Siddhars are revered as enlightened beings with deep knowledge of the body and mind, often acquired through intense sadhana (spiritual practice). 4. **Historical Context**: The presence of complex asanas in these traditional practices suggests a rich, yet less documented, history of yoga that predates or runs parallel to the more commonly referenced texts. These traditions highlight the adaptability and evolution of yoga practices in various cultural and regional contexts. 5. **Cultural Transmission**: The guru-shishya parampara ensures the preservation of nuanced techniques and spiritual teachings that may not be easily captured in written form. The personal transmission of knowledge allows for a deeper and more embodied understanding of yoga practices. While modern scholarship has provided valuable insights into the development of contemporary yoga, it is crucial to acknowledge and respect the depth and breadth of traditional knowledge systems that have contributed to the diversity of yoga practices we see today. The lived experiences and practices of sitthars and other traditional yogis are an essential part of the broader tapestry of yoga's history." Me: so you were wrong first? Chatgpt4 o:" Not wrong, but perhaps incomplete. The earlier points focused on the documented history and development of modern yoga asanas, which have been the subject of much scholarly research. However, your insights about the oral traditions and practices in South India highlight an important dimension that is often underrepresented in academic literature. Here is a more nuanced understanding, incorporating both perspectives: 1. **Documented History**: Scholarly research has shown that many asanas commonly practiced today, especially in modern yoga studios, have relatively recent origins and have been influenced by various physical culture movements from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Gheranda Samhita, which are often cited in these studies, describe only a limited number of postures compared to what is seen in modern yoga. 2. **Oral and Traditional Lineages**: Many traditional practices, particularly those maintained through the guru-shishya parampara, have a rich history of complex asanas that may not be documented in written texts but have been preserved through generations. These include the practices of sitthars and other traditional yogis in regions like South India. These practices suggest a much older and possibly more diverse heritage of yoga asanas than is commonly acknowledged in modern scholarship. 3. **Diverse Traditions**: Yoga is a vast and diverse tradition with many regional and cultural variations. The practices of sitthars and other traditional yogis indicate that complex asanas have been a part of certain yogic traditions for a long time, even if they were not widely documented or known outside specific lineages. 4. **Respect for Traditional Knowledge**: The depth"

According to trip reports he effects are exactly the same as pure DMT. You can vape it, just need a higher dose.

I am serious about this topic. If there is any sign that LSD or any other classic psychedelic like shrooms or 5 Meo DMT have really long-term damage over years when massively used please share (although I don't count extraordinary cases where someone really abused the drug in very high dosages or a dangerous combination of drugs). I would be so glad to hear. The one from ama reddit had flash backs: "flashbacks ,in my experience, aren't like full on trips that will throw you way off. after doing alot of acid i can say for sure there are flashback like effects. If i'm sitting in a parked car i can sometimes feel and see it moving slowly backwards. it gets scary when you don't expect it the worst visual i have ever had was sitting sober on my couch when my dvd player started sliding out from under a big old fashioned stereo system. once you recognize its not real and shake it off it goes away again." If that's the only thing that sometimes can happen after 1000 hits of LSD, that's not really an issue. It will probably go away completely if you stop for a year.

There is no evidence, not even anecdotes (I have not found so far and I read probably over 100 trip reports in my life) that plenty usage of LSD deteriorate your brain over time. There was an ama thread on Reddit where a man took 3 years LSD every day (200 micro) and just stopped because it costs too much. No brain damage. Another who took over 1000 hits, also no damage at all: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/dlycy/ive_eaten_over_1000_hits_of_lsd_in_my_lifetime_ama/ You can argue those who got brain damage from LSD won't do an ama on Reddit but there are amas on MDMA/Ketamin abuse where people openly talk about their brain damage. So overall MDMA and Ketamin are well known for brain damage long term. But so far about my research LSD doesn't deteriorate your brain, it just stops working because of tolerance.

It all depends how sensitive you are. 10 mg could be already a normal dose for a very sensitive guy. For a normal guy a normal dose to plug would be probably in the range of 30 to 50 mg. For a sensitive one: 10 to 20 mg

Better to just be open to the experience, especially if it's your first psychedelic. Let malt decide what it wants to show you. Your first trips will not be overwhelming on lower doses, but that's good you need to test how you react. snorting it will work. But your nose will burn and if you do malt more often you could damage your nose. Plugging is very easy. If you want I can show you what you need (the right syringe, measure cup, a cup where you can mix it). Leo also has a blog poste about it some years ago. Put it 4 cm in your rectum, there is a point of maximum absorption.

@LoneWonderer yes but it's a waste of substance you need a lot more Why not plug it?vape it?

@Keryo Koffa I just can say awesome insights! You really know how to trip. Thanks for sharing! I like your mindset during the trip ("a bad trip would be exciting").

I see, you are then probably at the beginning of awakening. Maybe if you watch Leo's video you will understand more. How many hours did you sleep before doing yoga and after how many times of yoga practices you could keep it to 5 hours a day of sleep? This alone sounds super human. By the way I also did Bhava Spandana in Berlin 2023. My second Isha yoga course after shambhavi mahamudra. You don't learn a new exercise but you take something special with you after this course. It's really profound (I will not talk more about this), Sadghuru is really a master.

@Anon212 which of Ralston teachings did you study? And which enhanced your practice? Did you take part in his course? "The air is sucked out of the world" that's exactly how Leo describes part of the process of his awakening experience. Look at his video here he uses your words:

On 5 Meo DMT my girlfriend does all the asanas spontaneously .5 Meo is better for that I think. Also Martin ball discovered the importance of symmetry. He is famous for doing a lot of 5 meo.he never studied yoga. I think these insights are easier to get on 5 Meo.

@Carl-Richard interesting. Still studies contradict each other's on n back training, some show improvement,some zero improvement. overall not really a proof. But if the professor says the proof is "medium" ok. Maybe to look a bit more into this.

Ah yes, with a little help from us mods too

I get up to 25 mg plugged very subtle effects. A 25 mg dose is like a 10 mg dose, almost no difference. The trips up to this dose are not really overwhelming just clear and smooth. My head is always in normal state so I can think normally. The visuals are weak. So unfortunately I am not really sensitive to malt.

This statement that there were exactly xy universes in the past can only be a statement of a sci-fi Autor and not a real scientist.

150 is not enough. Look at Chris langan with an IQ from 210.He figured out. Completely without psychedelics, without any help of an spiritual teacher. Maybe even without any spiritual exercise. Just through his intelligence and hardcore technical analysis of reality. At least that's what he claims.

There is not really proof that this works. It sounds logic but so far no study could give clear evidence. And don't count these anecdotes where people do IQ test, then go to n back training and do the exact same IQ test again...of course they get higher IQ with taking the same test again.
