Principium Nexus

I'm interested in the shamanic use of psychedelics and already have had many different experiences. My main concern is that people don't really know the implications, it's litteraly mind altering and most of the beginners don't know where to start and think of. It would be wise for harm reduction and safety to explain that people shoudnt do anything dangerous while taking psychedelics. Needing to be somewhere is also a no-go since time will lose meaning it can make you unconfortable to have things on your agenda. There are many more points one should think of but @Leo Gura can probably work those out? It think it's a good addition to the general subject "concious psychedelic use".

How would you architect your life with so much freedom? What would you do? How would you keep yourself busy or connected to "normal" life? We are not used to so much freedom and probably haven't really thought about the implications that arise. Unlimited freedom & structure two things that can be difficult to combine, how would you do it?

God's knowledge is so omni potent it will burn away your human existence. Knowing how to become god will probably drive you nuts.

@Joel3102 Get lots of excersise, sporting will make you more aware of your body and co-ordination. Avoid caffeine (coffee, energy drinks), cortisol tends to create stress which further enhances your symptoms. Cold showers, all things that make you feel alive and stimulate your touch/skin to be more in your body. These are some things that are great at making that body/mind gap smaller.

This is actually your preceived paradigm breaking because some insight you have that challenges deep fundamental assumptions you hold to be true. Awakenings like these can turn into existantial crisis or to pure bliss and a glimpse of what enlightenment is like. The key is to understand that you move within a certain pressumed paradigm but you let everything that doesn't fit open for interpretation. No paradigm is perfect, all are flawed in someway, thats why there exist so many different views.

Or intelligent life realizes it's exactly where it has to be and there is no point of traveling somewhere else. Life blooms where the conditions are favourable, so no need to terraform death planets that die anyway. Favour the here and now

@Ry4n You will figure that out along the way my friend You haven't seen the rabbit hole yet.

I think you should work yourself up, going straight for 5 Meo could be extremely overwhelming. It's overwhelming anyway but then you know atleast how to properly integrate psychedelic experiences in your normal life.

Could this be how non-duality or the one expresses itself into the many or the duality? Very interesting to read! https://www.google.nl/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://bluestarenterprise.com/files-outside-wordpress/walter-russell/49306379-Walter-Russell-the-Universal-One-Alchemy-Chemistry.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwi9qpqj197TAhXCEVAKHbUaCvEQFggcMAA&usg=AFQjCNFtztPb59MJo8nGXFPJtfOG5iTosg

@mudita You may add my art if you want It's on the first page.

@egoeimai If it's genuine, seeing other people smile or happy then makes you feel good too. If you don't know what to say it always a good opener for conversation. You can't really do anything wrong by complimenting others, they like it, you start interaction and from there you learn

Making compliments about other people works great for increasing self-esteem

@Prabhaker Excellent writing! Thanks.

You guys are right, I was only looking at the deidentifcation aspect. Living in anxiety and complete dissociation with surroundings is not really someone is looking for. I just keep the thought in my mind i'm ultimately not an ego, but like to play a character that gives me joy and wander around for the time being alive .

@Sevi Oh no don't feel sorry haha! I think I might have misunderstand things. But I did not lie about telling my name, occupation and most difficult thing to do. Or are you refering to that depersonalisation is okay to have, that this would be a false assumption? Still don't get it C'mon guys lifting the veil that people know who you are isn't a bad thing. People can try to understand you and accept you for who you are or dislike you but then you wouldn't want to be working for them in the first place.

@Sevi So why would I be lying?

The feeling of being judged is probably the root of all my anxiety and unconfortableness. Large part could be that i'm just misinterpreting things and probably isn't that bad. Now I meanly deal with it by ignoring it or knowing that I have my own story and if I follow my heart nothing should be wrong with that.

Sure, why not! My name is Fabian and currently 21 years old. I'm a university student and make a living with trading cryptocurrency. The most emotion difficult thing for me is to not feel judged by others. This is exactly what is still holding me back to fully express myself and do the things I like. Making good progress though EDIT: Removed my last name just for the sake of privacy then

Exactly what I was thinking, this is exactly where enlightenment is after. The thing is that we think we have a real fixed personality but that it actually doesn't exist. So when we see the truth and experience this first hand we might get shocked, feeling being thrown over a cliff and everybody else would tell you that's not okay since they hold onto their own identity so strongly. Anything that obstructs you in a bad way can be called a disease, but what if our mindset towards these mental illnesses are wrong? What if we learn to function with meaning within these extra ordinary states, they could even be empowering. I'm not saying it's fun when your diagnosed with DP and have a lot of trouble of getting your old "self" back, but maybe seeing it in a different light would turn things around DP is experiencing reality more to its true essence than thinking you are some absolute fixed person with a real personality.

Can relate, I even hear it now and make it more prominent when I focus on it. Could be brainwaves, or ear receptors recharging making this static white noise. I think both this humming and visual snow are cognitive limits you have become aware of. I did some research once because my dad got a tinnitus and sometimes this is caused not by any physical damage but the brain being stuck in firing patterns. Tinnitus can lead to depression and regarding the previous sentence you can understand why. There are some treatments which use electrical stimulation or just sound that is specifically modified to disrupt those patterns that are stuck. Theres some mathmatical science behind it with resonance, feedback etc. What could be the correlation to DMT or other psychedelics then? This could be due loops, the brain can become highly focused on one thought making many iterations on the same thing. For that moment you loop in the same moment over and over again but actually feel some forward progress, its very weird. Now these loops happen at many different levels of awareness, even for some things your unconcious off. Since I experience visual snow and some humming myself I experimented with some techniques and looked how it influenced it. Both visual snow and humming can be very appearent but most of the time they are almost non existent for me. From my experience pure white noise, void of any useful stimulation where the brain can make sense of, can silence the mind very well. The static white noise acts as a silent room absorbing all intentions to grasp and convert stimuli into useful concepts. It can get trippy after a while but it very relaxing if you let it be. Because your brain stops making sense of what it receives you temporarly break your loop, the longer you get acustomed to this state the more you can distance your brains thinking from its loops If it doesnt make any sense, try to experiment with white noise or other forms of sensory deprivation/damping and you will see

I would like to adress this topic since we are all on the same boat. It doesn't matter where you are from, who you are, 'successful' or 'a failure', fully enlightened or still wandering in complete samsara. I myself have been through very happy moments in my life but also have been through the deepest depression. During my depression I learned that meaning is the most valuable thing we have. You can have many things around you that would normally seem fullfilling but they can leave you complety cold. I think depression is not an illness, personally I think it's a psychological phase of reflection where one tries to find meaning again between all that is already given. It sharpens your compas if you allow it to and clears away the superficial/false illusions of hapiness. Instant gratification is one of the traps that lies in any form of depression, quickly filling a gap with some short lasting feelings. When those leave your again with empty hands. It learned me that long lasting things are the most valuable and these are something you can build on. Be it disciplined in sports/relationships/eating habits, those all give a good feeling on being on the right track So to come back to my initial definition, I would say we all derive meaning between both opposites. The game doesn't work without the light fighting the darkness. Destruction and creation, good or bad, low and high, they are all needed to be at this exact point in space and time. Embracing all there is, or letting go of all attachment of wanting something to be different is the key to enlightenment. There possibily is no deeper insight I ever had that applies to everything there is. Working from this ground of mind there is nothing that can beat you down. Hope you guys find this useful or might want to add something yourself. Together we derive some meaning and make the journey a little more magical

Naughty guru's? Never heard of that ?

@Leo Gura Being tempted is okay, but then staying in control over ones actions is the mastery. You probably meant the same
