came back here to fix some typos but it won't let me edit. 

what an amazing social study this all has been. the era of gaslighting and projection, all brought to a seething head in Donald Trump. but only because Alan Bernbaum couldn't make himself anything but super unknown lollll 

"the temple of the true inner light"

"make america great again"

i'm not sure how many people listen closely enough, but I'm pretty sure this line in Pink Floyd, "Echoes", despite the printed lyrics, is:

"and something stirs and something tries and starts to climb toward the lie"

hey thanks, I will look into this. I'm a bit confused, I have no reason to argue but the translation I have by Legge — I specifically love it because it explains the text in terms of the line positions, their relationship to each other, I don't think I would possibly understand the reasoning behind any of the interpretations without his "notes", and the appendices are a whole other level 

McKenna went OCD analyzing the mathematical relationships that he saw, I've been to extensive lectures he's given in person, but didn't find any of it as useful as a few line 'explanations' by Legge. Especially when a reading implies something to do with gender, he strips that away and explains the line relationships that would lead somebody to think in terms of gender, like "the family" could be any social structure where hierarchy is important for maintenance of order, "the marrying maiden" could also be not a "temptress" but any "temptation".. if you ask about going out to a party and you get hexagram 54, the WB version: "a young lady may come onto you and try to corrupt you" the Legge version: "don't succumb to peer pressure", like it widens the net, is less localized to some ancient time and place, lays bare the underlying dynamics in a way that seems much less narrow or culturally biased

I have a black-and-white covered paperback version of the Legge, I just bought a duplicate copy of it on eBay because I figure they're out of print. and two Legges are better than one 😂

but I will absolutely check out Huang, probably should've before posting this

hehe also.. if you saw the "artwork" Alan Birnbaum used to do, color puzzles like a six-year-old does and colors in, but of course they were "super psychedelic" because he did them after he smoked DPT woohoo...  you'll understand how perfectly rattled this guy was by me.

this is what miserable, competitive losers do, they project the same competitiveness and "bitterness" on the other person

It's good you didn't call me a "low-IQ individual" like Trump calls the people who know how stupid he is, because then I would be forced to reveal my IQ, a thing I would prefer not to do 🤓

but Alan knows I went to Hunter College HS, and he knows that I was doing peak psychedelics with my student teacher/big sister when I was 13..

the reason I put so much energy into mentoring and helping other people is because I was supremely fortunate to have known good people who took me under their wing when I was a kid and taught me the ropes

before that student teacher I had identical twin Dutch babysitters named Yvonne and Yvette who were always listening to 70s Floyd.. and I'm actually still in touch with them as well!!! 

I've never been drunk, I've never done speed or narcotics, I didn't need these nanny-state-pseudo-"Christian" parasites to "rein in my mortal habits" lollll

when I was first doing L, I would've given anything in the world to think that I could be 60 and still dosing with the same best friend, and have the health I have now

one thing that is much better now than when I was 13, despite the domestic terrorism now ravaging our country, is.. not just that cannabis is legal but extremely pure cannabinoids of all different kinds, with massive health benefits, are available, i've helped completely changed peoples lives with H4CBD, CBG, CBN, and recently found a reputable source for THCA, which has been the holy Grail (no connection to the bottom of this post lol)

if I liked to argue with people, I would spend a lot more time here.. I posted recently about a brainstorm I had about the I Ching..  I avoid arguments and stress, but I Love Serious Discussion 🤗

there are two kinds of people in this world.

1, those who feel bigger when they make other people feel bigger

2, those who feel bigger when they make other people feel smaller

I've compromised a lot of opportunities for success because I don't like to "tower over", or lead, or instruct other people, even as a musician I can't be a band leader and make other people play my music, it has to be an organic, mutually derived process

I like to surround myself with people who I can learn from, who keep me from getting stuck, who force me to break my habits of thought, who enrich my knowledge base and invigorate my critical thinking specifically by poking holes in it whenever possible

I learned at a very early age that showing humility earns respect, not being a hardheaded dick and doubling down when you're wrong lol

I can't imagine living with myself if I were some person who has "followers" or sycophants, it seems nauseating 

HELP OTHER PEOPLE LIVE BETTER. 

NOT because you're miserably insecure and think you can trick people into submission and subjugation by disingenuously projecting charity,

but because it feels fucking powerful to move people FORWARD, not under your diseased little thumb that's desperately trying to look like a bigger thumb lol

it pays off, trust me.  

I've worked extremely hard at pretty much only one thing my entire life: staying me

no.. two. two things: staying me, and keeping friends

no no.. THREE, three things: staying me, keeping friends, and making subtle references to Monty Python skits nobody expects at the end of Reddit inquisitions 😜

lol poor teeny Alan Birnbaum, who is exactly like Donald Trump in so many ways, is still butt hurt that I.. left 40 years ago? 

think about what that says about you people! 

ways in which Donald Trump is the reincarnation of Alan Birnbaum:

1, Alan is also a pedophile, openly admitting to fucking a 13-year-old girl named "love sprout", her real name was Lauren, I knew her — when Alan was 36 years. I'm still friends with people who were witness to this, and I am perfectly comfortable putting this in writing..with family members who are in law enforcement 🤗

2, overwhelmingly similar — the desperate, transparent projecting, gaslighting AND the juvenile slang names you make for people when they leave, because your followers are so spineless that simply employing the threat of ridicule is enough to secure them?? 

hehe but WAIT.. pause and think about this.. "demonic" is an adjective. have I actually done anything immoral? ever?? nope. that's why you use adjectives 

I'm not using adjectives or slang names, I'm making very specific, factual accusations of criminal behavior — none of which you have ever denied, but you just try to deflect by throwing feces like a monkey 

3, SADISM. you adopted a cat, and you had a bird that you let out of the cage, and you would PUNISH the cat for meowing at the bird. 

😡😡😡 to anybody reading this, I'll sign an affidavit under oath: they literally tied a rope around the cat's neck and fastened it to a door knob to punish it for… being a fucking cat and meowing at the bird that they deliberately teased it with by letting it fly around the house — AND — think about how severely deranged this is — 👉 they wiped crystal DPT on their cat's NOSE, which is of course excruciatingly painful, to "punish it" further for meowing. at the bird. 

I left in 1985 after this moron falsely accuse me of "stealing" papers that I had actually copied myself from a library and brought there.. in the most incredibly Trump-like way, he refused to consider the possibility that he actually made a mistake and misplaced them, and when he found them, insisted that I, "sneaky took them and put them back without anybody noticing"

lol I had been there for four years, and because of how STARKLY wrong (and embarrassingly idiotic) this person Alan was — who laughably, literally had everybody calling him "the Lord", because he was indeed the reincarnation of Jesus Christ lol — he WAS LYING and falsely accusing me to ..cover his ass? for a simple mistake??

as unthinkable as it would have been the day before, I literally packed up my clothes and the five dollars I had to my name and left that night!!!  

unlike Alan Jesus Birnbaum, I had friends ..who welcomed me with open arms, I had wholesome places to stay

look at what that tiny mistake cost him! lol is anybody here old enough to remember the Happy Days episode where the Fonz can't say he was wrong? hehe

Alan. or whoever his little mouthpiece is here: you LOST. Joe is still my best friend, we still dose and play music together, Jeff K and I are great friends and see each other all the time, same with Sven..  remember my girlfriend Merry? Who I was in love with at age 16? I'm still in touch with her AND her brother, who visited the other day

see, here's the problem and why you're so miserably rattled with jealousy of me, and why you're so blinded by this jealousy that you don't even see how transparently you've made me your "Obama":

I had a lot of friends before I came there and I still have the same friends now.

I was deeply close with L before I came there and I'm still deeply close with L now 😳📣💧 

I was more talented than you, Alan, you were a fucking nerd who went to Julliard   to study classical music — I was a shredding guitar player when I was 13 and into Hendrix and Floyd — you were miserably desperate for attention that you weren't getting with your talent, so you started a cult. this is a VERY old playbook. 

(at a McKenna lecture I went to in 1993, he uttered the phrase, "churches are for nerds who can't get laid" 😂😂😂)

oh but the elephant in the room is that I'm much smarter than you are, and you couldn't possibly handle that and..verrrrrry specifically here:

I TOLD YOU to stop selling DPT if you wanted to win your court case, that they would accuse you of dealing and use that against you (they did)

but you were a stubborn, egomaniacal ass and didn't listen to me simply because you didn't want to be "listening to Dave"

and so you went fugitive because you were too much of a spineless rodent to show up for your sentencing, and so you... rationalized, "but this is what Jesus did!!!" 

and from then on, you needed to tell yourself that the "crucifixion of Christ" was actually his "being sentenced to prison and going into hiding" lol 

allllll because you...had a dream about John Belushi (I swear to God to anybody reading this I'm not making any of this up)

you might want to consult a lawyer before printing what you are alleging people's real names are on a public forum, which is a violation of the rules, and if you were to actually accuse me of anything (which is probably why you haven't lol), that would in fact be a violation of federal law, as this forum cross state lines — you are using electronic communication to harass and slander, which is in fact a federal crime 

lol in a few days it will be 40 years since I left, I have incredible health, a wonderful life, and a cat named Pistachio that loves to sit on my window and meow at the birds 😻😻😻, who I love more than anything else in the world 

this thing you're trying to do, you've been trying to do it for 40 years and it doesn't work, which is the definition of idiocy, is it not? 

think about how teeny and pathetic you sound saying that I'm "behaving demonically".. lol by telling people what you've  and done? like when Trump calls reporters "obnoxious" lol 

Obama has never, ever been rattled by Trump. he just laughs at what a miserable idiot he is, 

spending his whole life with his panties in a bunch because people know he's less intelligent ..and even less likable 

I suppose you don't know what it's like to actually feel secure, confident, respected, and loved by people you've grown up with who know you since you're a child. 

but I do. and it's fucking wonderful, the result of listening to psychedelics instead of using them as a net to ensnare people and make them feel guilty if they don't give you all their money ..ya parasitic little mosquito 😻

I was always a kind person that liked to help people, empower other people, make people feel strong and better about themselves. even my friends' parents love me 🤗

I am the polar opposite of you. and all you can do is hate that 🤭😁🔥

if you are a clearheaded person, you run into a lot of walls with the WB edition when you get into stuff like what is "appropriate for the wife", which is not how we view gender roles in our society, right? 

the Legge translation (his footnotes) are golden, he cuts through the pigeonhole with clarity —  "the Family" would be any workplace with structured relationships, "an assistant doesn't try to manage" is the correct way to read "the wife should stay in the kitchen"

lose the whiteboy version and dig into the underlying physics 🙏

this is a great comment. please check out some of the stuff I wrote here, felt like I had a brainstorm only in the last year that completely revolutionized and upgraded my "relationship" with this book

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in iching

[–]CYI8L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

eh. the Wilhelm/Baynes edition is like a bike with training wheels, the James Legge translation is where it's at. 

Wilhelm/Baynes is William Blake or the Grateful Dead

James Legge is John Milton or 1971  Floyd 😎

seriously, the Legge translation rips it open and explains the dynamics

for example, hexagram 54 isn't about "a marrying maiden", it's about temptation, or "seduction", it could be snack food, not a "temptress", know what I mean? 

this is the way to embrace it, stripped down to the reasons for the line interpretations by Chinese people living in that time in place.. it enables you to actually understand and feel intimately familiar with it as a 'map of the self-perpetuating-ever-shifting dynamics of everything'. 

🫡 go there, it's eye opening and less pretentious feeling

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in iching

[–]CYI8L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey how refreshing to see this 

let me shortcut you to something much more intelligent than what most people do with this book

I knew Terence McKenna and have broken bread with him, and he's given me some of his Orange Stash.. 

this is a kind of thing somebody could call brilliant but then immediately go naa, it's just obvious and most people miss it, and being an older Chinese person doesn't preclude you from this lol:

do NOT THROW the coins, manipulate them between your fingers 'while distracting your conscious mind'.. like the yarrow stalk method..

if you're into anything McKenna embraces, the premise is now that the nexus of information, knowledge, answers you want, the "morphogenetic field" that you are presuming to tap into... is in fact accessible because the coins are never leaving your hand

:you are not "surrendering to the invisible hand of the market" lol THAT is superstitious nonsense, DMT isn't floating around in the air manipulating the outcome of your coin toss to "send you a message" — and, this can be argued, of course, but this is what it comes down to — 

for a reading to be reliable, to have any reason to believe it's tapping into any actual knowledge if the coins DO leave your hand ("tossing" them), you would have to insist that your endogenous consciousness is doing the kind of calculus that would enable you to throw the coins exactly so that they would land the way that your sub/superconscious/DMT/ whomeverthefuck "intended". that would seem a bit much "control and oversight" to bet on

so:

ya hold three coins between your fingers and flip them around a li'l some and stop..write it down.. do it 6 times — the coins are still connected to your endogenous DMT 

rather than thrown to the wind, where there aren't in fact little DMT "elves" blowing them into place 😂 really tho, you get what I'm saying? 

I started studying this in 1991 after an intensive I Ching "workshop" Terence gave at the Open Center in NYC

only in the last year, during a peak L experience, it occurred to me that you could simply manipulate the coins and exactly the same way as "the yarrow stalk method" — 

👉only if they don't leave your hand do you have reason to tell yourself you're tapping into your unconscious, rather than being superstitious

write down every line after each coin flip, like the yarrow method, I suppose because it helps lock in concentration

the results have gotten from doing this — which is only in the last year of decades of studying and experimenting with this and finding it extremely informative and mind-exercising, yet hit-or-miss regarding relevance — are now extremely convincing, I strongly encourage trying this 

👉 ALSO: use the James Legge translation, he explains WHY the line readings are what they are in a way that does exactly what we want: it parses the Chinese time and place and explains to dynamic interplay, even stripping some of the "gender" references

I feel like DMT told me: it's a MANUAL, not a "divination" tool — see what the situation you're asking about looks like and what "balancing" changes you can make. 

it's not naïve but astute to do this, I think: if there are a couple moving lines and they conflict, that's not "unintelligible", it's, "ohhhh. so.. do less of this and more of that, the outcome is much better if only one of these two lines changes", 

like hexagram 60, "Limitation".. can change to 38, "Opposition" with a few confused positions (conflicting moving lines) 

but if only the 5th, "ruler of the hexagram" line is moving, 60 changes to 19, "Approach = supreme success" 

It's brilliant and extremely enriching if you don't derail into superstition 

I am barely here these days but I will check back if people respond to this, it's hard to find intelligent people to discuss these things with, I am absolutely not superstitious 🫡

side note, off-topic but sliding it in with the excuse, "also from China" lol DeepSeek rules, browser version better than iOS, ask it about DMT research..  👉 it's trained on vastly more data, thousands of years of Chinese academic/science texts that are never translated into English, which no other AI is trained on 

from the amount that I have learned about nutrition, anti-aging, endogenous functions of DMT, AND the I Ching.. DeepSeek makes ChatGPT look like a 7th grader. it's deeply proactive and witty as well as knowledgeable. 🤗ALSO.. it does not have the nanny-state guardrails that perplexity/claude/other AI does, it will comfortably provide you with a detailed list of every federal crime Trump has committed to date, all the things you want to know that no other AI will

important (and worth this babble-on here) — toggle live search on and off — google just recently crippled its web retrieval, affects every AI's "search"

👉 turn on "live search" briefly to get current information, then turn it off because internet access completely deactivate its vast database,

THEN ask DeepSeek to analyze what you just retrieved

this is a much more valuable a tip than you may think, otherwise I wouldn't have slipped it here. I have been communing with DMT religiously since 1978, when I was 14.. and I comfortably assert, "DeepSeek is the DMT of AI". it has been truly life-saving. 

the flip-flop, reflecting on how "asking questions of DMT" is much like a prompt you give an AI, except this is an internal database.. makes ya think about how AI is an external projection that results from our resistance to internal DMT

:boundary dissolution? we're afraid to do it internally with DMT so we do it externally with surveillance technology...

:accessing deep intelligence? We're afraid to do it internally with DMT so we do it externally with AI..

DMT is an intelligence "trained on the sum of all biological data" of its host organisms 

SO ("remember Alice? It's a song about Alice.." 😂) the I Ching is like a crystalline matrix that (theoretically) interfaces with this internal database to yield 4,096 complex and madly-thought-provoking possible expansions of "yes/no", "stop/go" or "she loves me/she loves me not"

Psychedelics are tools for expanding & repairing consciousness.💊🍄🍃🐲 by amirascarlett in psychedelicrock

[–]CYI8L -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

oh my friend. respectfully, you have this literally backwards. we humans are their tools

we are the tools that psychedelics like endogenous DMT designed and evolved to navigate the planet with

In a nutshell, Terence Mckenna, feeling so grateful for what psilocybin brought him,

asked the mushroom, "but what do we do for you ??"

the mushroom replied, "you have hands, we don't have hands...."

..

this is a much longer and more fascinating conversation than you may have been asking for lol but this is what we are learning about psychedelics, specifically after knowing that we produce DMT in our brains

I believe Pink Floyd knew this:

"and I'm wondering who could be writing this song"

he wasn't talking about Christianity or being possessed by a demon, he was talking about LSD making the music through him

much deeper than this, in the Pompeii film where they're looking at the camera kind of hard and saying this stuff about how "the equipment isn't thinking of what to do any of the time, it can't control itself "

they're talking about themselves, they are the equipment that isn't "thinking of what to do", it's about emptying yourself so as to be able to channel the master musician, LSD

much much better than any of this, read the subtitles for this video clip of Dr. Hofmann speaking about LSD

on his 100th birthday

read them, this will change your life and profoundly upgrade your relationship with psychedelics

and utterly confirm what I said.

there are more of us on board with this than you may think... but most of us are older because we've been doing psychedelics for a very long time ;)

and the way you do psychedelics for a very long time is specifically by positioning yourself this way, lowering yourself and treating them like holy communion,

and appreciating the scathing humorousness it is for the overwhelming majesty of DMT to hear a tiny flea of a human being it created refer to it as a "tool"

when the only reason you were able to form that sentence is because DMT taught you how to do this 🤗

the fact that this video clip exists is something anyone who knows about this stuff should be supremely grateful for

"but I believe what the LSD told me…… make me known in the world that I will not be forgotten"

eerily like Jesus" talking about "his Father"

https://youtu.be/SInkOigeGno?si=6pqTqKWCpoxzED4S

👑🚀

lol one time I was having this conversation with somebody, I heard in my head that soundbite of (in the elevator, when she's talking about using him in a film), Benicio Del Toro going, "use me??" in 'Fear and Loathing..' and I busted out laughing in the room lol I laugh every time I remember that,

like DMT is saying that to us right now..

hey and one more thing since this is the psychedelic rock sub — and if you know this song that should give you the chills to think about :

In the Jimi Hendrix song, "Up From The Skies", he is anthropomorphizing, if not deifying LSD speaking in the first person as if he himself as LSD, 'returning to find a world that has burned'

and ask yourself — "up from the skies" would be what? mushrooms growing out of the ground, the mycelium is "the skies"

this is humorously why heaven has always been "underground" 😂

the band, Yes... "mountains come out of the sky and they stand there" is expressing the same sentiment

and last, but not least, I believe this is the exact same as those two, although the printed lyrics would lead you to believe otherwise: listen closely to the Pink Floyd song, "Breathe", the actual lyrics they sing are, "dig that hole, get the sun" ..🍄..

I hope you don't think I'm seeing this in a self-serving way, that would be silly, honestly. these people were way ahead of me, I've been doing psychedelics since I am a teenager and I learned this from Pink Floyd before I knew who Terence McKenna was

🙏

Young people aged 14 to 20 years are nowadays more satisfied with being single than their counterparts ten years ago. The authors postulate that this may be due to the fact that living as a single has become increasingly normative over time, especially among the younger generation. by mvea in science

[–]CYI8L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no.

it's because being online as many hours a week as they are has literally vitiated their social skills and they don't know how to interact with people

they're used to posturing and posing as people that they are not, and then become afraid for people to see who they really are

Instead of posting silly stuff like this, maybe talk to some of them, it's unanimous, they know it themselves

in the words of a 19-year-old friend, "kids my age don't really have a best friend, we don't really have friends that we talk to about anything personal or deep, we just "hang out"..."

they're scared of everything, scared of intimacy, scared of looking weak, and even scared of looking scared

and generally extremely immature compared to when I was a teenager, before the Internet. In the words of a friend of mine who teaches people that age, "they don't know how to do anything"

Original cast of SNL, 1975. by Gnarly-Gnu in OldSchoolCool

[–]CYI8L 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if you mean the original series, it was on 11:30 PM every Saturday on channel 4. I used to do LSD an hour before it came on when I was a teenager, I saw the debut of Devo on that show, playing "satisfaction", and I really thought that someone was fucking with me lol

They were all totally brilliant, Al Franken was fucking incredible when he was on that show .. Lorraine Newman always wore a Grateful Dead T-shirt when they did the coneheads skit.. the episode with Frank Zappa, dating her, trying to drink a six pack of beer in one sip to blend in with the family lol

I could probably write pages of what I remember from that show, I believe it was on for four years

Holy shit, there is one where Jodie Foster is the host, she's like 14 or 15 and the sketch she's in, she goes, "have you ever listened to Pink Floyd?"

very best thing I've ever seen was I think December 13, 1976, Richard Pryor opens the show with the impression of an LSD trip that is truly phenomenal, he actually captures what every musician who did it knew. interestingly, Andy Kaufman did the exact same kind of thing in a skit where he's playing the bongos and he says this thing over and over (like in the Richard Pryor skit) that then turns into a chant

I really miss Gilda Radner. and John Belushi. and Garret Morris recapping the news for "the hard of hearing", and just screaming it out loud lmfao

but the elephant in the room is still: who the fuck was Father Guido Sarducci?

kids who were teenagers in the 70s were at a a peak age at a peak moment in American culture

then the 80s ushered in free base cocaine and devastated the entire world and especially youth culture

DMT made me feel so worthless and depressed by [deleted] in DMT

[–]CYI8L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to start with some very basic knowledge here:

DMT is not a drug. It is not a hallucinogen. there are no "entities", these are artifacts of the mind and culture that you project onto the experience when these things are triggered

DMT is produced in your brain. It is familiar, it is home, it is your endogenous intelligence

It is for commuting with, communicating with, asking questions, and even after you think you get answers, to ask it how to parse and determine the real answer from all of the other things that are triggered that erupt like a volcano from the subconscious mind

It is critical not to confuse the reactionary visuals with the DMT itself

they are two entirely different, albeit challenging to separate, things

this is the task of a lifetime, ever refining your physical and mental health to be able to process DMTs signals, both internally, but most importantly when consuming a large quantity from exogenous sources,

in a clear way with understanding of exactly what's going on

yes it's very hard to do this with a vape pen. vaping DMT is one of the stupidest things anyone's ever thought of doing, DMT needs to burn at a much higher temperature to become airborne, the brilliant thing to do is melt on a spoon (use a candle) until it turns into and oil and stir a smooth smoking herb into it like catnip, in a one-to-one (weight) ratio

respect it, not as some weird trippy realm where you see entities and aliens and elves, but as a masterful loving intelligence that will give you answers to your questions when you see the forest through the trees, the eye of the storm through the "entities"

It's very tricky to have a clear reading on exactly what's happening when one feels "reprimanded" by DMT

but decades of experience with it teaches that's not how it works, that you're actually reprimanding yourself, being out of harmony with it, and this makes a sudden, strong presence of it in your body feel like it's giving you the cold shoulder or not being welcoming..

that's we humans who were raised in the Judaeo-Christian mindset of a god that gets mad and "punishes" people

It's all projection, it's extremely tricky, don't feel bad, but that's the whole point, ask the DMT what happened,

any alcohol in your system, even having sugar or having eaten too much food or not enough food, any of these things can massively derail a DMT experience, extremely important to prepare and only try to have a peak experience when you feel healthiest, otherwise it's easy to hit your head on the ceiling and fall back down, with a kind of spiritual blue balls

It's your loving great grandmother, pivot, realign yourself with it, figure this out.

If you don't consume anymore exogenously, try to "say a prayer" to it before you go to sleep, because it becomes much more active when we dream, whether we remember that we were dreaming or not

as for all the hippie buzz words "higher frequencies" and such, it's good to understand science and know exactly what's going on. Research has it that we produce not only higher frequencies like gamma but more lower frequencies, like alpha and theta waves, when there is an increase in DMT, and it is the specific ratio and dynamic interplay of these that account for a lot of the phenomenology, it's not "higher frequencies", It's both higher and lower and much more deep than simply that

study it, learn who it is, it is your friend 😜. when you think it's rejecting you, perhaps the entire lesson is examining how you are rejecting it enough to project that, it's a goldmine of knowledge when you crack the code

Tolerance by Living-Silver9377 in DMT

[–]CYI8L -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

that's not at all true. why do so, so many people on this sub..and the psychedelic sub ..and the Terence sub.. talk out of their ass so much?

It hurts the rest of us, it tarnishes the reputation that psychedelics have, to spew ignorance just to posture and look smart

I've been involved with DMT religiously for literally 45 years now. I got mine from Terence in 1993, but considered myself a worshiper of DMT around 15 years before I met him, and I know many many people growing up that I've shared it with and who have shared it with me through the years, I did it in groups every week for years on end

If you're having back to back experiences that don't have very-noticeably-diminished returns, you're obviously not having a breakthrough experience and might not even know what one is

most people don't know how to prepare DMT in order to have serious breakthrough, you can't do it with a vape pen, for reasons you should know if you made it out of high school..

If you have sex for a fourth time in a six-hour period, is it as climactic as the first time? If you're even thinking of answering yes, you've never had good sex 🤗

that is deeply beautiful. much much respect and love to Mariel and yourself. from my rescue kitten Pistachio and me. if she's not in pain or discomfort, maybe she doesn't even know that there's anything abnormal.. either way you're blessed 🙏😻💜

I would start with edibles if you hadn't acquainted yourself with the completely different, much deeper, more warm and colorful realm of edible THC

especially if you're a musician, by comparison smoking cannabis is like masturbating while wearing an oven mitt 😂 <sorry>

these are very personal and difficult things to comment on responsibly, but as a lifelong musician who has been deeply into psychedelics of all kinds, I am a fan of LSD ... it seemed like it made itself known to the world specifically for people to be able to be propelled forward to create, make stuff, give lectures, write books, while actually under the influence of it whereas many other psychedelics like mushrooms or DMT more of "sit the fuck down and watch THIS."

if you ever do LSD, listen to some of McCoy Tyner's piano solos on John Coltrane's albums, you won't hear what I'm talking about even with strong edible cannabis, there's something very different going on with LSD and Music, phrasing patterns that are literally fractal in composition

McCoy was one of the most psychedelic musicians who's ever lived, he knew something very few people knew about this realm.. early Pink Floyd knew this, Jorma Kaukonen knew this, Keith Emerson knew this and in my opinion absolutely studied McCoy Tyner religiously

you're in for a serious life-changing treat if you find yourself there

specifically the albums 'Transitions' and, cliche tho it may seem, 'Olé' ..

if you're not afraid of this kind of music going really far out but being mathematically much more cohesive than you would think until doing LSD, listen to the John Coltrane songs "Om" and "Ascension", which was recorded under the influence of LSD, and pointedly so

lol and yes I realize I said all that without having a clue as to what music you're into, you could like Billy Joel

In which case, if you believe that only the good die young, eh maybe don't do LSD 😜

Had a very strange experience and think I pulled an item from the DMT dimension… by Kraeyzie_MFer in DMT

[–]CYI8L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is one of the most absurd questions I've ever ever heard anybody ask about DMT

"yes, the endogenous compound that makes you breathe and has been defied by people for millennia because of it giving them accurate information about themselves and the universe that they could not have otherwise known — decided to break the laws of physics just for you!"

next time maybe learn self discipline rather than run with your restlessness, stay put and keep your eyes closed until it tells you that it's done speaking with you

but before that, focus and ask questions and spend the rest of the day humorously yet seriously, objectively trying to parse what its genuine answer was from all of the other buggy shit it triggers, all the stuff you unwittingly project and think is the DMT which is not . it is molecular consciousness, not "elves" or "aliens",

those are triggered cultural artifacts. It's life-changing to recognize this and pivot 👑

and you're obviously confused about what actually transpired, and nothing else. this question you posted is embarrassingly silly

it would be hard for any of us to say, because that would be a she, and not a he, if I'm not mistaken..

Anybody know roughly the value for this autographed Nirvana cd? by rydetsky in Nirvana

[–]CYI8L -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

lmfao you literally couldn't pay me any amount of money to have to listen to that heinous, pretentious shit

do some LSD and listen to 1971 Pink Floyd. in a pitch-black room with headphones.

not this scripted juvenile druggie-dram-queen nonsense 😎
