You want yourself to get delibaretely banned? This is an example of lack of skillfulness, of which I have been talking about earlier.

I have wanted to post some asterisk signs, but I have none, I am currently dying from AstraZeneca vaccine, hah. Cheers guys, keep up your good work.

I am not you. If I knew I am crazy I would be sceptical and seriously look for clues if my state is sober. Maybe it would not be possible and I would have acted immediately, whatever, I wouldn't get attached to my version of the story if people around were telling me a different version and I knew I am delusional. Is it possible for me to get crazy in the future and end up in a similar situation? Yes it is, for sure. The skillfulness lies in ability to accept that when it happens and act accordingly.

It's all about skillfulness in knowing when you can trust yourself. If reality time and time again tells you there was a rope when you were seeing snakes, you might conclude you are prone to delusion and act accordingly, be sceptical.

@JosephKnecht No you don't have to hold false identity seriously to be skillful in navigating social situations. @Dodo Yes, it was all true for you. That is what makes you crazy. You know the story of a snake that upon turining light on turned out to be a rope? That's your situation. Don't trust CONTENT of your perceptions too much, it might be seriously wrong and it is not what truth is. The absolute truth is that the perceptions is all there is, but that doesn't mean what they depict is ultimately true.

Guys, if you can't stop preaching you are Jesus, though it is in a way true, even when it harms your survival and weirds out people, then YOU ARE mentally ill, and not held by some dark psych ward forces. Healthy people can hold both the realization that they are God and not scary others around them so much they decide to put you in handcuffs. What you are doing is not being integrous, but being crazy. Not your fault, just intricate play of karma, genetic and environmental factors. Realize that you being in the psych ward is also love, no matter how terrible it feels.

All teachings, all teachers, it's all bullshit, including Leo. Although, without them life is even more bullshit.

Yup, it's not expensive at all. Considering the amount of content to price, it's the cheapest one I have ever enrolled in.

Go to a spiritual festival, where there are different talks you can attend and activities. Yoga folks are soo cool. Sometimes I think how stupid I am for not trying yoga earlier. It's such a blissful practice and the community is very welcoming. The only more welcoming community I have interacted with is the k-pop & anime nerds. You will find some friends in those circles for sure, or maybe try some political, environmental activism, or computer programming circles, designer meet-ups, whatever rocks your boat.

Two meals a day I think is an optimum for a spiritual practicioner.

You are more experienced than me, but still, everything is Goodness and Love. I would have to trip on ultra-heroic doses like 10g of shrooms or 500 mcg of LSD to lose control so much that I can't rationalize the experience in that way. Then I guess it would be random whether it's a good or bad trip. But on lower doses? I don't think I will ever encounter a "bad" trip on them, even though it could still be an experience full of physical and mental suffering. Insights about suffering, pain and fear are valuable and make it a productive trip in the end.

I have had a psilocybin trip where for 2 hours of the peak I was shouting from suffering, crying for mommy and basically was unable to move, grasping to the realization that it's all love and I am a miserable dust in "Yours" presence, like a drowning person is grasping for air. The next 2 hours were a little bit less filled with pain, so I could decompress some of the feelings. But I have integrated it, so it's not a bad trip, just a challenging experience.

Your first mic can be Boya M1, it costs $15 and is way better than anything built-in. It's a lavalier mic, so it might still be useful to you, even after you buy a proper mic.

I agree, there are no bad trips, only hard ones. A single heroic trip might be safer than a year of microdosing, though.

@Joscha It's another strong drug in your system, that's enough to make it riskier. Also, taking it before the trip is a stupid idea, as it counter-acts the psychedelic effects. It's wiser to use it only in a crisis situation DURING the trip when you have taken more than you can bear, whether accidentally or on purpose, and want to bail out.

@Javfly33 This is my source: https://thethirdwave.co/psychedelics-heart-risk/ Most psychedelics bind to the 5ht2b receptors, of which the heart is full, and some drugs are toxic through a similar mechanism of action. I have a pre-existing heart condition so I try to err on the safe side.

Do you ask from the perspective of a sober person reflecting on their trip or someone who is immersed in the experience and doesn't know how to make sense of their suspected delusions?

Taking psychedelics regularly in small doses long-term does not increase risk significantly. You are okay doing that. Doing them daily in small doses, like smoking some DMT every day, could be harmful, because of damage to the lungs and potential effects on the heart, which is full of serotonin receptors, but it's still a small risk compared to drinking alcohol with the same intensity, for example.

DMT vaped from electronic vaporizer is not harsh at all. It hurts the lungs a little, because it's freebase, but other than that it's good. Ineffective though. I manage to only inhale like 20% of what I put into it. Haven't yet had a breakthrough experience, even though I load it with 60 mg. The device is so ineffective, I would have to make two inhales, or maybe set up a higher temperature than 170C and try to get it all in one toke, but harsher. I have to train that inhaling technique and try the mesh method, since I already have a DIY vape, I only need to buy one element. I think about learning the technique on DPT freebase, I remember it is easier to vape DPT than DMT.

@TheAlchemist Can you tilt it and smoke from between 45 and 90 degrees angle? I have a cup vaporizer and it has to be perfectly straight, and me being a total noob always managa to spit saliva into it because of that. Don't ask me how, I don't know how, what I know is that I am no sonoran desert toad and vaping my saliva doesn't make one trip harder, haha

@PonchoTheWizard Plugging with MAOi works. Without not. It still requires big doses which might hurt your rectum. I have been vaping DMT with Mr Bald T, no breakthrough yet.

BATGAP, BATGAP, BATGAP. Buddha at the Gas Pump is the best podcast. Also, did you know that Rupert Spira has his own podcast? That would be a cool conversation. Any of the psychedelic youtubers would be cool. I mean any, they are all cool, even this Adeptus guy. A talk with Rupert Sheldrake would be awesome. He doesn't have a podcast, but could be invited just for fun, like you have done with Martin Ball or this Tripp PUA guy. Tim Freke has a podcast with a small audience but he's cool.

If you are twenty-something then you are probably in your worst period allergy-wise. My doc said it gets better the older you get. I think we are just made to live in Spain, Mexico or some other hot, fun place, haha. When I was in Spain, even during the peak of the pollen season, I had zero allergies, that's probably because of how little plants grew there.

@Jamajczyk There is only one observer. The consciousness in me is the consciousness in you, since it is devoid of any qualities other than being conscious. Your experience is all there is, unless the consciousness chooses to look at the world through my eyes, but then notice that your experience dissapears. There can be only a single experience at the time, but for consciousness it's not a problem, since it's not bound by time, so it can effortlessly create this illusion of there being me and you while in fact we are one. Although, for practical reasons, yes it makes sense to say that there is me before screen writing to you. But it's not absolutely true.

@Jamajczyk You can't see it, so it only exists like that, as something you can't see. You only imagine that there are bees and snakes unless they are in your direct experience right now, but then you imagine that they can see at all. Some things are personal, some physical, and some cultural, it's wise to know how to differentiate between those, but what unites them is that all these areas are imagined by the Universe, so in the end, it's all imagination, but impersonal imagination, not personal of which you usually think when you hear the word imagination.
