How long should you wait before taking 5meo again

[Jo96]

I was wondering this question. I took it twice this week ( my first times taking it) I noticed a huge difference in perception the days after but slowly I fade back to normal.  Now I have the urge to do it again. How often do you think is a safe wait time in between sessions? Also if I want to use 5meo for enlightenment what is the best way to go about it?

It's always going to fade.

If you want permanent results: that's where you do the hard meditative work.

What do you think about vipasana? 
I always thought you said that 5meo was like a shortcut to enlightenment. You said you could meditate 10 years and not get the same results of 5meo. Have your views changed? What kind of meditation are you doing personally nowadays?

@Jo96 You want to use your intuition. Use it responsibly.

I notice permanent changes in myself (ability to let go, relax, more compassion for myself and others, awareness of ego in others etc... You need use it in conjunction with many other tools (reading, books, Qigong, meditation etc).

I think in Leo's 5meo video he recommends once a week max. But, really you need to use your intuition. I think the risk of abuse for 5meo is pretty high. The more powerful the tool the more maturity and responsibility is asked of you.

There are many other people who have used it in different ways ie Martin Ball. 

I'd say you are safer going slowly so you can gauge your mental health between trips. Like, maybe once a month or every two weeks with proper safety protocols put in place.

It can make you ignorant towards the egos around you and they hate that. So, be wary!

No need to rush here. Don't chase pleasure, mystical highs etc.... 

I personally notice that reality now has a much finer HD than it used to.

It is a shortcut, but not that short. Don't get too greedy. Be happy 5-MeO works at all. It is a miracle as it is.

Don't expect to do all the work for you.
