@Rafael Thundercat I think it was more of a sarcasm or mocking.

My my, first urging us to wise up and fall in love with illusion, then lamenting the fact everyone's lost in Maya. Loving fantasy is the default state that comes naturally to most, hence the staggering levels of collective delusion. We're the odd ones out here. In a way, not being conscious you're in a dream is its deepest level. As gurus like to say, "you're already enlightened" ᐟᐟ☆

Loving the realization of illusion is totally different from being lost in illusion.

People lost in Maya don't love Maya, they are clueless what Maya is.

Basically Disneyland in a nutshell. I walk around looking at all the rides, characters, theme and food, people talking and laughing having a good time. But it's all smoke and mirrors. The whole thing is an illusion. I walk around and observe everyone sucked into the illusion but they don't even know it's an illusion they're just having a good time. Don't get me wrong the rides and everything there is still enjoyable but I see it for what it is and I am not impressed

I’m never doing Salvia.

Well I'm with you there, I was just making an attempt at humor. Though being clueless about the true nature of something doesn't preclude love, just makes it of a different flavor and degree. There's a certain cute innocence that's lost with this work, of just being a human in a finite material universe loving your family and nature. Seen negatively it's ignorance, corruption; positively it's childlike purity. Maybe I'm just attracted to that since I never had it to begin with. Before God I wasn't alive in any meaningful sense whatsoever, yet even now with all the deconstruction, peak states, and integrating divinity into the mundane, there's that piece missing, on which I have more clarity now. Like you said, there's costs and responsibilities to higher consciousness, that forms part of it, one I personally may be more afflicted by.

Hehehe, do forgive those rascals, they can't help being confusing and elusive. Almost like reality itself  😉

 

Say, what became of sprinkling 5-10% of falsehood into your work, or stealing one word from every blog post; are these taking place? Or perhaps it would be more fun not even knowing that.

This is nuts. I'm definitely gonna try salvia. 

I think it's the difference between the typical tourist who wants to go to Paris or Rome versus the more serious traveler who books a one-way to Dhaka. 

[Leo Gura]

Salvia is a one-way to Jupiter.

Just acid & shrooms, man. Oh, also mad honey.

Not enough. Try more psychedelics before exploring Salvia.

It's not that cool nor beneficial. It's just an epic mindfuck which bends your mind to integrate.

DMT and 5meo are much better.

Salvia is unpleasent by its own chemical structure.

I wanted to vomit when I was chewing the leaves.

Though, I'm glad that it didn't work.

Mad honey is a neurotoxin. I know this was probably a joke but yeah.

[Leo Gura]

At low doses salvia is manageable. But people are stupid and do high doses.
