I dunno I've read approx above 200+ books in my life including audiobooks here. Without counting online articles, videos, podcasts, online-courses, documentaries, infotainment, learning app, edutainment courses(soft skills, psychology 101 etc.) etc. I talked to a couple of members at integral did not have the opportunity to meet Ken as I feel a strong connection towards his writting and experience as I am also a military kid. I dunno the more I read the more I notice how knowledge is repetetive and execution can matter and at the sametime must not matter more than knowledge. Most of knowledge is memory so to speak if anything I experienced I had was based on omniscience. Wilber wrote about all of these states endlessly. As far as I know and observed he never took psychdelics and they generally had the slogan of unearned consciouness is valueless, the point is he also admits later and even earlier IIRC that these things have a lot of potential and can be used with caution etc. Just there is no hard evidence etc. I am saying thins with my own words. I do think knowledge is overrated nowadays with fast streamed information finding principles and paradigms in the thousand of books and concepts that aid survival and transcendence of survival, often times it is a re-guritation of facts and the principles and concepts serve as a new meta level for larger abstractions which display higher truths etc. I don't think knowledge/experience/ontology? is as static as it seems. Reading 400 books+ is an impressive feat imo the value of knowledge for me is only palpable when I can execute and act on it, otherwise it's good entertainment and that is important too! Often times my own thinking and hunches would have given me better results if I would act on my experience and mistakes, my own book and life story so to speak instead of hiding behind the vail of knowledge in fear of showing a higher self etc. I can speed read for example an easy book a day and re-gurtitate the most important content depending on technique and practice with more and less accuracy as I trained this as well as I wanted to still refine this. I did some speed reading exercises with Wilber books and I read ROT in a week or two in 14+- sessions? With 20 minute sessions with 10 min note taking notes etc. Just getting back into the habit of reading difficult topics fast. Filtering core eternal concepts and interconnecting this takes the most time. I did not read the notes at the end, just the core book and theory. Wilber has an entire series of his biography for free on integrallife about his life I could not bring myself to watch it even if I love the guy. It is compelling, yet he can talk so long and so much also. Wilber should have written about omniscience/ontology?/knowledge I never studied it that deep, as I mostly just corrected what people wrote here about integral theory as nobody is really passionate about integral theory, most are nerds and cracks at integral or to normie. Here it is a nice cross-section. Hope this aids the conversation somehow. Imo there should be a distinction made between what is knowledge and omniscience based on spirituality and what it means to value either and the other and how they interconnect, as this is what I am experiencing more and more a bit at least... For example you have a vision/hunch about life out of nowhere a moment of clairvoyance with imagery and the exact thing becomes true or/and leads to a closer similar "truth"/experience etc.

Most definitely!

@Razard86 The book "blue truth" from david deida was quite shocking to read and you summarize basically the whole book as well as what I remember lol. It's nice to read a concisce summary of the book in sorts. I have the issue of I love my feminine mind for example and it's endless flow states, yet masculine control I feel like I am Thanos 4.0 leading even on a small scale imo is a huge task! Balancing these freaking polarities I basically have the experience of what you wrote. Nice read! Thanks for the post.

Found this video with some tool on YouTube on how to create Art with A.I. --- Posting on intuition here did not read 17 pages as I am not that interested in A.I art making, more watching lol.

I think it's okay if you disconsider the context of what he has done, and he did not really talk much about trump. I also think JP is way better than Maga Trump. I often think he does not find the right people to express his views and these talks are so endless, the video almost says nothing if nobody followed the context fully. It would be better if he speaks to someone like Schmachtenberger or so, nobody understands JP I think. If I watch the video without audio and I imagine what he is saying it's quiet funny he should speak with this stuff with a serious democrat in a sense, I guess he is just angry that he seems to be unable to reconcile something in his life. I do not like him personally very much, yet I do have sympathy for him.

Hey! I just wanted to ask if there is a valid test somewhere where you can see on which stage you are in Spiral Dynamics. I've been listening and reading more or less a lot or not about Ken Wilbers theory and spiral dynamics. I found some research about the validity of Jane Loveingers Ego Development test which is accepted by scientists, yet the test apparently needs a revision. There are a couple of papers about this topic. Yet, I do not have the knowledge or know-how to understand everything in there. Ken Wilbers tends to say in his audiobooks that you can find some test online and take it, first of all I only find german sites and they tend to push your results. So, I would be turquoise, integral and green. When I take a test which was in Don Becks Audiobook Spiral Dynamics to find out which stage you are at I scored differently. So, where can I find a good or somehow valid test ? Or how can I check out which stage I am at when I go through live and reflect about the stuff I heard and read I am affraid of an orange capitalist society which is status based and does everything to ensure it's status quo, abusing the efficiency of people for their own benefits while it does benefit others to a degree. I tend to think about which stages my professors are at and if that makes sense what I am reading about spiral dynamics / wilbers theory or justifies their behaviour. When I look at a healthy orange, and if Ken Wilbers theory is somehow valid/true/useful/partially true or w/e then it would play out like this. Since green is the dominant value structure every stage tends to adopt these values in their structure. So, an orange person would interpret green values through an orange pair of glasses and therefore filter it through an orange perspective. So, multi-culturism is accepted empathy and compassion is valued and opinions of other people and viewpoints are respected / accepted and tolerated. To give an example with blue.. as long as people adopt the rules that are present in their country they "can" be regarded as one group, although this does not entirely work imo. So, I want to give a personal example since I can't find any tests which seem good/valid, I worked in a post-production company in London which is a financial city and worked there near Soho ( where most banks are ? (orange move)) and worked there 10 m away from the Tower Bridge. The post-production company was very orange success and achievment driven, equality was based on the fact that women have the same capacity to be as succesful as men and people where treated fairly. ( not like green where gender roles and ideas are perceived as a social construct). My boss seemed to be or have some integral tendencies, this guy liked chaos was super unassuming, enjoyed Allan Watts and was not the slightest authoritative, only to the degree where it was neccesary and really enjoyed listening to perspectives while not listening to them since he has to and this is culturally accepted now. He just seemed to be in a constant flow. Yet, he was also quite materalistic since this was the film industry, so he had to adjust his behaviour to other people who seemed to only care about their status and success and making some business deals which benefit them and he was quite good at it and also still quite young. So, I can't tell if this guy was orange or integral. Yet, walking through the city and doing some small errands since it was a classic shitty internship. I could see how money orientated and self-interested these people were they would do anything even use racism or sexism to advance their position, so reverting back to red or some other stage ( unconsciously?) only to gain an advantage over other people and ensure their success. When I meet orange people at Uni they seem similar as long as they have some blue tendencies pure orange is pleasant, yet the coldest most rational driven persona you can meet. Anyway where can I find a test ??

Do any of you guys go regularly to museums and enjoy art? I wondered how an expert artist would buy any of these, it's basically just porn imo. Without a story line and context. When I see all of this digital art you can still edit them after the fact, that they have been created, I am pretty sure there will be tools for that, considering creating logos/symbols/art for games etc. Sometimes the biggest mistake from an artist or so might make the painting seem very good, yet sort of still apprecating the limits of what the human can draw I dunno I've been to a couple of art exhibitions in major places in the art world and I know someone personally who is a professional succesful painter drawing with Andy Warholes techniques, not speaking to him, yet knowing him, it's a massive threat to skill itself imo. I just don't think skill can so easily outsource itself as well as the greed sort of for the tool, there are already codeless enviroments with U.I generative tools, that created a new emerging demand and market with U.I researchers/ HCI and the likes of this is basically the same issue of something creative being outsourced to a new toolbox. I just think more lightly about this topic and it will be a toolbox, when used with caution and I doubt most people are that wise and intelligent lol. I am pretty sure someone will abuse it and people will learn and set a constraint like in any enviroment...

Yeah according to socionics it's a benefit I just like the way they put it. It's all just experience with bias in a sense anyway.

True in my personal experience, I get along with intutives the most that means also logical intutives although worlds differ vastly, it's usually very fun as open-mindedness is just fun usually. That is also a good big5 trait to consider... when dating and also beign high in openess ... these models won't matter when novelty is not stimulated for example. Overall I this is mainly relationship work not very good for dating itself, just measuring compatabillity. I don't walk around typing people all of the time, it's mostly "NPC'S" I type shop keepers, the vendor lady/guy, the architect, construction worker etc. Hope I made this clear and I don't attack a single type. As this get's personal usually quite fast. I also want to hone my skills in this as this is "dealing with people skills", so it comes in handy in more "objective/neutral" situations as well as just friendships and partnerships/communities etc. Socionics looks interesting too I like the compatability of INFJ with ISFP and ESTP as artisans that is true imo, wtih SE,NI.

I am not drawing technical conclusions I think there are flavours to all of this I read socions way way way back once or twice back on odd forums, so I did not like it so much and mainly looked at cognitive stacks I am just going to list a couple of things and explaing that I am aware of socionos, yet have no idea about it besides coginitive stacks and their functions, I dunno if they are seperate theory. I feel as an INFJ 4w5 there are a lot of dynamics in terms of compatabillity without explaining anything in detail. I am mostly matching main types of others from each model. This is mainly my intuition and personal experience. Everything in braces I think can vary tremendously by type. I am mostly intuitive about this I don't have much conceptual readings besides tests and internet pages and infografics/ my own contemplations etc./data/studies/youtub videos/biology of mbti and enna etc. Compatability INFJ: Very good: ENFJ, INFJ, INTJ, INTP, (ENFP/INFP/ESFP/ISFP), ISFJ Good: ENTJ, ESFJ, ISTJ, ISTP, ISFP, ENTP, ENFP, (ISFJ,ESFP,ESTP) Okayish: ESTP, ESFP, ESTJ, ESFJ, ISTJ (ISTP,ISFJ,ISFP, ENTJ), Not good: ESTJ (ESTP/ESFP/ISTP) Compatability Ennea 4: Very good: 4,9,2,3 (6) Good: 5,1,6, (8) Okayish: 7,8 Not good: (All could be shit for a 4) Compatabillity Ennea subtype 5: Very good: 1,7,8 (4,6), 5 Good: 6, (9,5), 4 Okayish: 3, (9), 2 Not good: 9 Compatabiltiy Ennea 4w5: Very good: 4w3,3w4, 2w3, (5w4 all 8 types if mature including 9w8), 9w1, 6w5, 1w9, 4w5 Good: 3w2, 2w3, 5w4, 1w9, 8w7, 7w8, 2w1, 1w2,7w6, 4w5, (6w7?) Okayish: (3w4,3w2), 1w9, 8w9, 9w8, 5w6 Not good:(All could be shit for this sub-wing type as you are basically a free spirit) No idea: 5w6, 6w7(Dr Keith Witt from Integral I love him, yet I never meet this type besdies from him consciously)

Yeah the booklist can be found in the products section, maybe something unfortunate happend to the account. If you do not see the list and have a receit of the purchase message Leo for the list, I am pretty sure you will gain access immediately. I have the list also for a couple of years now and did not have any issues so far.

https://www.youtube.com/user/PaulChekLive/videos I like him he talks a lot about what stuff actually is I bought his book also I am not done reading and implementing it. I've done some parts of integral courses that include health topcis, this goes deeper in general for a cleaner channel of information. I dunno what else to share at integral for example I learned how mindfulness is applied to eating/dieting/training/my pallet/ how I eat etc. Then something like Peter Ralston or Paul Check are more teaching from an embodied living of consciouness as well as Paul Check teaches more about health/food/diet etc. I like his approach for example I did not know I increase my level of "fungual (negative) activity" when I receive a narcoses, IIRC because vaccine has a strong effect etc. I can recommend his book as a beginner as it's focused on concepts and goals and creating a health vision. Not technical mumbo-jumbo ( which is interesting etc) of how much vitamin c,d,e and B12 I have to take etc. For example he explains how different cultures/civilizations rather have developed their pallet and there are trends for example people living near the equator ate more vegetable food and depending on genetics etc. You can also have a preference I am very flexible for example I can eat according to him everything, easiest to feed hardest to train was his analogy. As I am not an equator type person etc. So I liked this also I generally see seldom holistic health practicionars talk about gene health. I don't even know if that is possible, because of epigenetics but okay. I am also still new to this, as I can't really practice due to injury.

I dunno why it has to be so complicated in terms of content. I think op just wanted to express appreciation of beauty and frame it in a way how most men in a manosphere would understand it currently, as it's a mess. For a guy to "max out" on beauty is advice given in every PD book, the bigger perspective is appreciating beauty. I also think this is what OP is enjoying and wants to pinpoint to, as many guys would misinterpret this. Enjoying for example as a man ones own strength has a beautiful quality in itself. Definitely nice to see someone works for his results and reaps the benefits! I dunno there are many factors that hook women, I mean maxing looks as a good looking guy, especially when I do online-dating and considering results, it definitely works also creativity. Also a body also speaks character, so certainly a lot of ladies will enjoy physically attractive men, I can attest personally. Both sides fit and unfit. Definitely fit is more fun, yet mostly because you value health... and people often feel that energy.

True. Same I did not expect anything. Mostly curious what others are thinking.

Yeah the discussion always drifts when I contribute it does not matter even in rl. I wanted to contribute to sourcing mostly and state my opinion that is it lol.

Not all it was a quick Google search. I am not that interested in finding 5-Meo I was suprpised I found sellers on the clear net at all in 2 minutes. Seems like there is currently nothing at the current location I am at ??‍♂️. One website is apparently very well-known although I don't know if they sell 5-Meo-Malt, yet I prefer people do their own research. Customs here can also be an issue especially oversees. I was surprised it seemed nobody googled it and I found 5-7 offers as nobody explicitly said: "There are mostly scam sites on the clear net etc." As there seemingly are for 5-Meo. Ultimately I don't know if they really sell 5-Meo as I did not contact anyone, as well as I never ordered anything from these sites. The prices are odd on the website you mentioned, where you have to pay 300§+- for 10g 5-Meo-Malt. That website is apparently a total scam. Even the prices for 1V-LSD etc. are way to overtuned. It looks to good to be true and it is scam as far as I know currently. I am not interested in researching as well as sourcing 5-Meo currently.

I would also enjoy it if someone post more hard evidence. Only thing I ever found was the cook-greuter model. I never know if the numbers are correct and where they stem from, actually. If you want to test ego development you can still buy a cook-greuter test that is scientifically valid but costs like 2-3k € IIRC to check the stage if hard numbers. I take her numbers mostly as it coincides with Wilber skeptecism that he mentions, if paid attention to. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/356357233_Ego_Development_A_Full-Spectrum_Theory_Of_Vertical_Growth_And_Meaning_Making I posted this years ago. 12+% apprently according to her research and her model. This map is also good if you just like the theory, I bet you could destroy it also completely. Many are stuck in stage 4 imo. The numbers from their research in the year 2000's were lower then 2010's+. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263483083_Mature_Ego_Development_A_Gateway_to_Ego_Transcendence

If you mean with really really high you are unable to do something productive in the normal surival sense then yes, this is possible. LSD is 100x stronger imo than any weed you can consume, also not smoking it makes it less exhausting of a psychdelic to take. Did LSD about 20-35 times. DMT I tried 3 times 1 time successfully I would say it's at least 1000x if not 10000x stronger there is no tangible contrast between the two. The experience is so different. Also from LSD, feelings might be similar, yet the experience head space, visuals, body high, internal geometry etc. is very different. I tried magic truffels once, they were also more potent, also 100x+-. The only thing they have in common is that they stretch consciouness/ego depending on how you can handle it. There is no comparrisson besides that weed is definitely the weakest and mildest form of a psychdelic you can take. In terms of it's effect. I like it currently after I have done psychdelics to deal with "anxiety" I am just basically comforting myself. You could also smoke pure CBD I bet or take another substance. Yet, anecdotally weed can help some with anxiety and cause it for some. If I had to compare my highest high and a normal psychdelic trip I would say the highest high feels to ego compressing you actively have to do a lot of work to realize anything. Although indica helps me to relax a lot. LSD or Shrooms are/seem way more benign and loving in comparrisson to cannabis. A normal trip would still be at least 10x more powerful than any super high you experience also with 100x clarity. As synthesis is really on on the substances. I tested some research chems also and I have to say LSD is by far the mildest and most loving thing I've tested out of all research chems in the LSD family, Al-LAD and ETH-LAD are similar in smoothness. 1P-LSD is by far the strongest derivate I've tried, stronger than LSD. ALD-52 and PRO-LAD were the weakest IIRC also not so comfortable as you could control the mind a lot with ego.

Can the mods delete this thread? After some testing the setup works fine, it's just very intense. I think the thread is to misleading.

I have a vape with a 3ml sub-ohm tank and a 0.15ohm coil. I dissolved 1g dmt in 3ml pg/vg vape juice. When I vape it I get a body high, yet nothing more no visuals no breakthrough. I have issues inhaling at higher wattage as it's very intense on the throat, so I don't know if that is a problem. At lower watt settings I can inhale more easily, yet 4-6 puffs in 2 min do not seem to do anything. I've attempted to smoke the vape pen 3 times taking 3-6 hits each in different settings. At 40-50 watt I produce more intense hits, yet I have trouble taking them. I shake the pen before smoking, I fully charged it also and soaked the cotton /wick in DMT at the beginning. I tested on empty and full stomach also. As well as tested the substsnces with an erhlich reagent. Can someone explain why I am not getting any of the classic visuals etc., that people report? Or more common reports? The strongest feeling and perception of it coming on was feeling my body very light and my visual field when closing my eyes becoming ligther and more chaotic. First time I am doing DMT help is very much appreciated. I informed myself via Google as far as I could, now I am stuck here.

Clear net and dark net at both spaces it's unclear how clean the substance is, you have to test the substance with a testing kit to make sure there are no issue/problems. I don't see a difference in risk, besides running a scam site and running in a scam seller regardless if clear and/dark net that is why review sites/reviews exist. I just googled the sites. I don't know if they are safe lol. There are so many offers and options. Check legality also for your country. I can't gurantee any safety.

I have 2g left I will most likely apply a more direct method of smoking dmt I might just plug it as I am very disappointed and anrgy with the e-liquid result. I calculated approx. how much mcg dmt I should ingest per puff with this dosage. Nothing seems to happen. I would like others to test my vape to see what is wrong as people breakthrough with my ratio. If what I calculated is somehow correct I have 5,5 mcg per puff and I puff 4-5 times for a common dosage. I can even see how long I inhale between 2-6 seconds on my vape. As it's very strong on the throat. I can do 1:1 with a 3ML tank it's going to be difficult and more expensive till now I don't like DMT all to much. I would prefer 5-meo I think. I get also a giant headache from it. Do you have any experience with health diet/body sizes/health concerns etc. That helped you to breakthrough for an NN-DMT trip for example fasting before doing DMT, tall people reporting higher tolerance, diet that could help, detox neccessary etc. Anything that would make you more sensetive or is an obstacle to becoming more sensetive to DMT? My setting was good and I was highly motivated. Nothing really happend besides a strong body high. Do you also get a giant headache from this? I've read DMT binds to the 5-H2A Serotonin receptor and taking anti-depressants etc that bind to this can cause a headache, as a so called serotonion syndrom as to much serotonin is present. Which can even be deadly. I did LSD which binds also to this receptor a couple of days ago. As there is no cross tolerance between the substance I can use DMT, although I feel I keep accessing this receptor and it's to much. Am I fooling myself? https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/306889#risks Anyone having experience taking LSD and doing DMT a couple of days later and having the same feeling?

Yes, I've read the same when I go through all methods in my head. What purpose does an e-liquid setup have when I can't breakthrough properly? Is DMT even then worth it? I don't even get visuals currently I have to re-test and use different methods. Also were you able to breakthrough more often after doing detox protocols for heavy metals, with a vape pen and in general?

Also make sure you stack the links on top of each other.

I already found two sellers on the clear net sending to Germany for a cheap price for 5meo-malt. Even reviewed by TrustPilot and with 21 reviews in total. Also a couple of others where you'd basically need to make an inquiry lol. So that could also be a possibillity lmao.
