Is this the evolution of polyamory? Aubrey Marcus podcast)

I acknowledge that the whole lot of them could just be high on hippie rationalizations and New Age fantasies.

The woo is strong with those 3.

I have fooled myself in the past that a girl was my divine soulmate when she was not even close. And psychedelics make that illusion 5x worse.

They could be using psychedelics to brainwash each other. Hard to say. That's why I don't do collective spirituality and I don't mix sex with my spirituality.

Thank you!

That's all anyone is saying here.

This man, this - someone needs to walk in swinging a 36" chain and wup the reality back into them!

@Leo Gura

Hey, on a side note for this comment, could we perhaps get a blog post or a video on the insanity or delusional thoughts psychedelics can give you (both delusions that bleed through into your real life, like the one you just said, and ones that happen only during the trip)?

I think that one would be insanely valuable, because at least for me, once I started practicing psychedelics, I was genuinely shocked by how much mixture and distortion my reality was getting from the drugs, and I had to pull myself out of it. I feel like in some communities, psychedelics are marketed as truth-revealers, or that only the wild, obvious delusions are insane, and they don’t follow you into real life. I had to battle through that, and still do to some extent.

Maybe, if possible, a post or video with examples of personal or other people’s insanity - especially the more sneaky, tangible ones like that - would be amazing. Thank you!

That's an interesting topic. Painful to talk about honestly.

I know, right? Honestly, this was probably one of the most painful parts of my entire psychedelic practice - and still can sometimes hit bad. Facing the ridiculous things I believed, the delusions, the embarrassing ideas that genuinely felt true at the time, was brutal. Deconstructing ideas about God actually felt refreshing in a weird way compared to it, haha. I can definitely see how this kind of insight could help others, too. I know I would’ve loved to have heard it before I started. No pressure, of course, though! 

I guess one way to keep it safer and avoid spilling too much personal stuff is to stick to general points without getting too specific. But the more detailed and emotionally vivid the story is, the more powerful the impact. Alternatively, we could even start a thread on it if others are open to sharing their experiences, too.

It would be a good one, as many people face the issue.

But it requires vulnerability - and you are in a precarious situation with that.

I do not envy you, as personal experiences can be used against you. Most especially when you share vulnerable experiences.

Also most especially when harpies with chains be swinging in your forum spaces

Psychedelic Self-Deception

It's own domain of self-deception.

Sneaky, sneaky.

When you truly know, and it really is a deep knowing, that ur meant to be with someone in this life, you wont do this to them. As a man, you will do everything in ur power to let go of the attachment to shape and form, and to truly be whole within urself. Because thats all this variety thing is really, just more and more shapes, blah blah blah. And the more conscious you become with the person right in front of you, the more you see Everything in her anyway.

Of course, it could happen. But what's more likely? That God commanded Aubrey to scroll around on Tinder looking for attractive women? Or that Aubrey wanted to scroll around on Tinder looking for attractive women, and that he convinced himself that God told him to?

I had a similar situation. I deluded myself on LSD that someone was my divine soulmate and that I „needed to find them” after I saw their profile mistakenly opened on my phone on Messenger. 

A case of being completely wrong in an incredibly embarrassing way. I still cringe a bit thinking about it. It’s been hard to accept/forgive.

Mixing spirituality and sex is a bad idea. Rookie New Age mistake.

You will note that I never did that shit with this work.

LSD

Did you try shrooms ?

LSD isn't a good psychedelic, it actually increase libidinal investment in habitual symbolic patterns of the ego, it makes people "delusional"; because of the stimulant/catecholaminergic properties. 

I love 4 HO MET because it's serious like psylocybin, and closer to LSD in visuals and sensations (geometric visuals, sensuality, etc.).

"When you're concious, love rules you. When you're unconcious, dick rules you." 

Maybe that's a better translation.
