  1. My first few LSD trips I had moderate motion sickness and felt a bit woozy. Not sure if the same applies for you as well but those were also my first experiences with psychedelics which could have made it worse. As I have done more this discomfort has lessened, now it only lasts a few minutes. If you feel this effect start coming on, lie down in bed and relax. Don't eat or drink, maybe some water once you start feeling better. This is all assuming it's the LSD doing this to you, it could well be you just ate something bad.
  2. @NightHawkBuzz Because life is fucking boring without one. Also most people on this planet are either too dumb or don’t have the facilities to live with one. So if you have the choice to do so you better do it, its a privilege to even have a choice about what to do with your life. Its your duty to enjoy your life.
  3. Hi there. I've been watching Leo's content for close to 6 years now. Not actually sure how long. I've been interested in psychedelics since Leo started making videos on them, but I was too young and immature to try them years ago. I have recently come across a good LSD supplier. So, what I hope to write today will show you the power of the proper use of psychedelics for personal development. I do not use them for recreation, I sit in my room and contemplate and enjoy what my mind can create. Prior to both of these trips I had chemically tested my substances and verified it was an LSD analogue. It was sold to me as LSD, but it could be AL-LAD, 1P-LSD, whatever. I had cut a quarter tab and ingested to test how my body would react. It did not taste metalic, as is commonly report with 'bad acid'. I felt normal microdose effects, so was confident the drug was safe to use. TRIP 1: Trip 1 was a tester trip to get used to the psychedelic headspace. I dosed 80 ug. I did not notice any effects until about an hour and a half in. Visually it looked as if the saturation of everything had been turned up 20%. Colours are more vibrant. I also got a fair bit of motion sickness. The motion sickness lasted most of the trip, so I laid down in bed for most of the trip. I imagine I would have had a very uncomfortable trip if I had tried this in a party setting. I was glad I had done this at home on my own. I dosed during the day, and I had decided that I needed to be in a dark room. Luckily, I have an ensuite. So I turned off the lights and shut the doors and created my own little blackout room. I was stunned by the ability of my mind to visualize things. Sometimes my conscious mind was in control, other times I would visualize things I wasn't consciously creating. I will skip to the end of the trip - throughout the trip 'detail' was a big theme. I was noticing all the little scratches on my desk, the dust particles in my carpet, the dandruff on my shirt. This prompted and inspired me to start cleaning and looking after my own space more. Clean your room as JP says. I would say I already take good care of my house, but this experience made me want to improve that even more. Another theme was masculinity. To take more responsibility and live with more intent. I only got a little taste of this, so I set it as something to contemplate for my next trip. TRIP 2: Trip 2 occurred 4 weeks after trip 1. I had intended to do it the follow week, but trip 1 had been pretty intense so I didn't touch it until the time was right. The goal of trip 2 was to up the dose to 100ug and contemplate on what I will do for 2023. What to focus on for career/relationships. And masculinity. Trip 1 was a great foundation, as this time I had very little motion sickness. I only felt it for about 20 minutes during the come up, then I felt great. I was able to focus much more on contemplation this time, as I was less distracted by the visuals. Despite dosing higher, I would say this trip was less intense. At the peak of my trip, I was contemplating masculinity and kept getting light visions of demons/jesters/evil faces. I expected this to scare me more, but I was quite unemotional towards it. I knew they were interested in doing violent things by the way they looked, but since it was a relatively low dose, I still felt safe. At first it was if they were trying to intimidate me, but I held firm. Eventually I won their respect by being unphased and showing them I was dangerous too. This was quite a weird and alien way to go about it, but it felt a bit like the scene from Dune, where Paul fights Jamis in the desert. Paul wins the fight and is accepted into the tribe. This taught me that a key element of masculinity in simply holding firm and asserting your will when you know you are right. Later, I was contemplating on relationships/my career as an artist. I had two big takeaways: 1 - Finite VS Infinite pursuits. You may have many interests and potential life purposes. The one you should focus on is the one you can see yourself doing for the rest of your life. For example, aside from my main creative job I also have an interest in creating music, but only so much to release one album and then put the craft down forever. This is a nice goal, but since it is only something I wish to do for a short amount of time I should not prioritize it. I can do that when I decide to spare the time, but I shouldn't feel bad about not pursuing it when I have something else I wish to explore to the end of my life. Same goes for relationships, you will know you've found the right partner when you can see yourself with them for the rest of your life. Not just a for a quick fuck, or a couple year long relationship. 2 - Treat the final product of your work as if it already exists, and must simply be revealed over time. - The truth is that your life is like a block of marble. You can chisel it however you wish, and by the end of your life you will have a beautiful sculpture, and the form that sculpture takes is up to you. For example, in my career I work with clients doing creative work. With this perspective in mind, I can be confident that by the end of the project everyone will walk away satisfied with the work. The small creative choices we make in the middle of the project don't really matter, it's just personal preference. By the end of the contract, they will have a finished product, and you will be paid, so make the journey from point A to point B fun and exciting for all parties. There's no point in stressing about if what you're doing should be different in some small way, the end result will be created and sold regardless. -- And that wraps up my insights from my first two psychedelic trips. If this post gets some good attention, I will start a journal on the forum and keep writing these trip reports.
  4. @MarkKol Close, not a digital artist though. I like Wacoms but often prefer a mouse and keyboard for what I do. I’m being non-specific as to what I do so I don’t give away who I am. AI will definitely impact what I do, but I think a lot of people are overreacting to deleting our jobs. Robots can’t run McDonalds yet, so they definitely can’t run a creative studio. We will still require a conscious human to tweak what has been done by the machine. It just means our work gets easier and cheaper, so using these tools our output must increase to remain competitive.
  5. Honestly? More courses. They don't necessarily have to be as big or grand as the Life Purpose course. I'd buy shorter courses on: - How to use Psychedelics for spiritual growth - How to reach stage Yellow & Turquoise thinking - Leadership / Healthy masculinity
  6. Does this have any lingering effects in consciousness when you're sober? Surely you're tripping balls right now...?
  7. Thanks for posting about this. I've been working an office job the last 6 months that lets me wear headphones most of the day. I've always had it in the back of my head that this was a risk, I'll be more careful.
  8. Unfortunate. I hope in the future Leo is able to find a medium less volatile than the internet to teach the juicy stuff. Solipsism deserves to be taught, but not at the expense of online crazies struggling to keep themselves together.
  9. Hey Actualizers, Thought I'd share with you my favorite movie. And the reason it is my favorite movie is because it's all about letting go of ego. And that movie is The Last Black Man in San Francisco. A brief synopsis; 'Jimmie Fails dreams of reclaiming the Victorian home his grandfather built in the heart of San Francisco. Joined on his quest by his best friend Mont, Jimmie searches for belonging in a rapidly changing city that seems to have left them behind. As he struggles to reconnect with his family and reconstruct the community he longs for, his hopes blind him to the reality of his situation.' I'm not going to spoil anything, but know this going into it: That Victorian house is literally Jimmie's ego. His whole self-identity is wrapped up in that house. I think you'll find it a trip to watch And if you know of any films similar or are about letting go of ego, let me know. I'll probably love them too.
  10. Lots of avoidants here, me too! Knew it before even taking the test. Whenever someone asks me a question about myself I just answer quickly and change the topic. But I'm pretty good at talking to others about themselves at least. Realizing now it's actually selfish to avoid talking about yourself, the other person deserves to know who they're taking to. Working on that...
  11. Due to sourcing reasons I have been unable to acquire psychedelics in tab/powder form. But I've found some research chemicals in pellet form online and was wondering what everyone's experience was?
  12. There's the Relative age effect - Wikipedia The older you are in your cohort growing up the more likely you are to have academic or athletic success. There's a reason Capricorns are generally success oriented.
  13. Ownership, 'having', is a concept. A human invention
  14. Maybe. But don't take what people are saying here as a belief. Go find if you can do it in your direct experience right now. Yes reality is infinite possibility, but right now at this level of consciousness you have to play by sober, human rules.
  15. Let go of that. Any such power comes at the cost of ego. Liberation will not give you anything except the truth. God-realization is a completely different beast that we're still learning about, and is really only being explored by a tiny handful of people.
  16. The first of a thousand dominos towards exposing corruption. And this only exposes a tiny fraction of it. These papers don't seem to mention Australia but two of our state premiers just resigned this week after their massive amounts of corruption and favoritism came out over the last year or so. We need to consider syndicalism or intelligently designed anti-corruption regulatory bodies soon. But we have another infinite regress problem, who regulates the regulators? Seems the only solution is genuine, high-integrity leaders. Good luck with that humanity.
  17. My guess would be China has a similar UFO situation as the US and is just better at keeping quiet. And further - the USA is the most developed and influential nation on the planet, so it's reasonable to assume that UFOs are interested in that area and the Americans have the technology to detect them. It's also possible aliens still don't have a solid grasp on human society, and tend to stick to areas they know well. Point is - no average person could say they know for sure yet.

  19. Om is pretty cool. Or Chee, or Looloo, or Wacky-tacky. They're all equally useful. Better thing to ponder might be; Stare at an object, I often use my water bottle. Then ask without thinking; "Why is this taking this form and not some other form?" All forms are equally valid. Why is it that one in particular? Could it be free to assume another form? And if it is free, what is the process of form selection? How does that come to be?
  20. @jake473 You have no control over the initial circumstances of your life, or other people's actions. You can control what you do right now. You could surrender, but that would only rob you of your only duty, which is improvement. Your only duty is to work as fully as you can towards an improved existence. And if you are doing that then your duty on this earth as a human will be totally fulfilled in that moment. Seek professional therapy, seek a remedy for your chronic illness. Even if you only have 45 minutes a day out of bed. Use it. You got this.
  21. "You score for primary psychopathy was higher than 57.99% of people who have taken this test. You score for secondary psychopathy was higher than 44.28% of people who have taken this test." Damn, I thought I was nice
  22. Hey there! Many of you have probably seen this channel before on YouTube as it's gotten quite popular over the past year. I find a lot of these videos helpful to me as I often deal with similar psychological troubles.
