I would be very suspicious of the one who is finding ways/justifications to avoid the pain of sitting still for a long time. What happens if you put that one on pan and fry it for a bit?

Good points and replies. I would like to add this: keep in mind that (english) text only is a very handicapped form of communication. You literally cant pick up all the subtle and not so subtle energies that are present in f2f, and one needs to be a good writer to compensate for that. That, plus the amount of non native english speakers often amount to denser, more information packed posts.
Informational text leads inevitably to a masculine tone.

I find this is very hard to tell for sure, the disconnect between the actual person and what is written is too great. Some regular and unregular posters sometimes swear by how self developed they are and how much they work, but it does not show in the tone and way they WRITE. They might be, or they might not be.

Religious = missionary only
Enlightened = missionary AND doggystyle
Pretty simple actually

@Arhattobe same experience here

@kieranperez thats still a huge over-generalization. Of course people chase experiences with drugs and candyflips, thats a no brainer but this matter is not that black and white.
I have witnessed only one candy flip (non party setting) and that lead to a genuine non-dual insight. That experience/candyflip did not ask anyones opinion on is it an optimal choise of drugs to awaken or not. Could that be replicated, like 5-meo-dmt awakening sort of can be? No! Thats not the point. My point is to not be so dismissive. There is a distinction between a drug and the people who use and do whatever under the influence of said drug.
By your criteria of "just chasing experiences" no other drug than 5-meo (and similar drugs im not familiar with) is sufficiently "pure" to be regarded as a true tool for spiritual growth. You would candyflip in a heartbeat if I could promise it to perma enlighten you, you could not care less if it would have wonky fuzzy warm euphoric titiliating effects.
I have not candyflipped ever btw, and am not interested in it. Regular classic psychedelics are powerfull enough and are in my opinion, more reliable and safer than combinations.

Throw your conceptualizations to the trash and answer me this: who are you?
Focus on finding that out, and everything will clear out. Dont mix "I understand" with "it makes sense to me". You dont understand, and thats why you are confused.

Rewatch the brain video. The pink substance is there, and the correlation of brain activity with the quality of experience is undeniably there. But the brain is just a perception wich is linked to all other perception in a way that your foot isn't. It is not the source, it's in the source.
-
Technique suggestion: stare at the closed-eye visuals and self-inquire about them and their meaning to the one that is perceiving. What you are looking for is a thought-loopy visual horror: the kind where you constantly plunge into mouths of horrific beasts and snakes and whatnot. then self-inquire: who is afraid? who is being attacked? who sends these visuals, because I don't? Who draws these shapes?
If you can face the visuals with no fear, a part of your defense mechanisms has been shut off. All my deepest inquiries on psychedelics have been like this.
Realize that just like anything you see can't hurt you, nothing in the outer world can hurt YOU: the source of all sensory experience
And don't we all want to "let go", if only we know HOW?! Well, surrendering to thought loops and visual loops is definitely one way to do it

If you knew that there is no I, you would also know the answer to the question in your topic title, would you not?
Otherwise it sounds like you are going trough a crisis that eventually will pass.

No no no it must be illuminati, the signs are there, wake up sheeplings!
-
Why aren't we all over the fact that actualized.org has a NEW BANNER and new self actualizers are immediately hit with psychedelic illuminati symbols upon landing to the front page??

Whenever Im in a phase of creating music, I naturally consume it less. For you it might be a reaction to over saturation of noise and fuzz in your life in general. There is that, and the fact that radio music is terrible
try getting into something that lingers in the middleground of music and silence, like ambient or drone. Try sleep research facility or loscil
-
Same problem. I am considering getting some face/head massages to see if it would help. Other than that, try to locate the specific muscles that seem to tense up, and massage them yourself. Practice mindfulness with your face tensing. Obstacle is the way.

OH I thought you meant it sarcasticly when you said "This dude is perfect for intellectual types that get lost in concepts and theorems" so my "opposite" was actually what turned out to be your line of thinking also. What a plot twist, we were agreeing all along O-O
-
How come? I think its like the polar opposite, at least that is the feeling I get from his videos. I have not read him yet.

Golden! Another one, closely related to your topic:
From 4:12 onward. "what is this nonsense that you dont exist?"
Getting lost in the theory-trap is a sneaky one. You are precicely what you feel and believe you are, but you are always free to challenge your feelings and assumptions until maybe something happens and you don't feel that way anymore. Maybe

@Mu_ nice insight! This is something i have been wondering for some time: what is the relationship of shadow work to the direct path of asking "who am I".
After all, the thought "the earth revolves around the sun" has the same kind of existence (as in thought into/out from consciousness) as the though "I should not be *insert shadow*", but only one of those thoughts cause suffering. Why? Who is it who suffers from some thoughts but not from some other thoughts? Why is it so? Why we go trought these sneaky avoidance/ignorance strategies of some self concepts, but others we cherish and openly share? Who is judging the difference?

Derelicts release party at Helsinki last year... 9000/5. Simply amazing.
That quote or sample can be interpreted in so many ways that its quite hard to say... What ever it is, its 42 degrees ;P

5 hours ago, Emanyalpsid said:Without perception there is no consciousness
Doesn't that imply that consciousness dies with the body?
-
Remember the time between the big bang and your bodys birth, that timeless place? Thats consciousness, although me pointing to it is a story. Also the big bang is a story.

You will always want an non restricted access to a private bathroom and a "safe place" when tripping, especially with a dose that big. But the choise is yours, ofc. If you are confident, do it.
-
Obvious answer would be that it is not a thought that knows it. That itself is a thought that is known, but I sense that it's not quite what you mean?
If I got it right, I have a counter question for you:
What is it that (seemingly) disconnects the body from thoughts? What part of reality makes that distinction and how is THAT something distinct?
