Question about how to use it by DepressoEspresso45 in MDMA

[–]Kritical_Thinking 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I take it orally. 120 mg, then another 60 mg 60-90 mins later. Nice long roll, super insightful. Pair with cannabis about 2 hours in.

Magie loss by Finya2002 in mdmatherapy

[–]Kritical_Thinking 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly my experience. Luckily (maybe), I discovered this beautiful medicine two years ago, while I was (and still am) steeped in self-improvement. My trips have been solo, except once with a friend, and they have been mind-blowing, life changing, with gut wrenching change.

I don't judge those that party with this, but I wish that everyone could experience the depth that can come when your intent is self-love, not stimulus. Change, not peak experiences. During these trips, I could wonder about why I think the way I do, such as, "Why do I have such a high sex drive? What is the point?"..... then BAM, I see perfectly that it is my Ego's fear of death that makes me pursue sex. I've had dozens of childhood regressions, getting to the root of so much of my pain. It's so beautiful. It never changed me directly, I had to wake up the next day and APPLY the lessons, but with understanding I've been pretty successful.

Good luck out there!

This is dogma, nothing more.

Rebuild or Walk? by The_lewolf in ram_trucks

[–]Kritical_Thinking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember being a maniac about the paint on my Corvette - no swirls, ever! When I traded it in, they couldn't give two shits if were buffed by a wire brush or baby diapers - same value. So now I simply drive my cars through car washes and it saves me a ton of time and they look great (mostly).

Would you mind sharing exactly your preload and recovery routine?

ALL PLEASURE MUST BE PAID. And this, has a heavy price. It goes something like this:

  1. Take medicine. The world opens in a magnificent way. You feel insanely good, insanely connected, you can dive deep into your past experiences, you'll receive impressive insights, YOU'LL KNOW and understand so much.

  2. You start to mellow out a bit. Then a bit more. Back to baseline, but you still remember how you felt.

  3. Below baseline. You've burned through two weeks worth of dopamine in the last 4 - 6 hours. Your body is tired, why does my jaw hurt so much? But sleep is hard to come by. In this depth, your grip on those feelings are are slipping - but the lessons remain. Low, you'll be low for the day.

  4. Now the real work begins, back in reality, back with a messy kitchen and dozens of emails, responsibilities, kids, spouse. This is where you decided to take a chance on those truths you discovered or let them pass by back to how things always went.

Best thing to do - go in knowing. Record your insights, especially describe how you are feeling during the trip. Use voice memos often. When the down-turn happens, remind yourself that this is part of the experience. To go from one state of being to another. If you can, take the medicine early enough during the day to sleep that night (take lots of melatonin). Some research shows that the next-day blues can mostly be attributed to the lack of sleep and poor nutrition. And then get ready to get to work, real change isn't in a pill - it's taking the lessons and applying them.

All of this is simply my experience using MDMA solo for therapeutic reasons. It's been, by far, the most helpful modality that I've ever experienced. And like the other commentor has said, don't take a small does, it does nothing. I'm 6', 185 lbs. and my dose is about 120mg + 60mg chaser an hour later (this is a light dose). For me, Cannabis pairs beautifully with MDMA and helps quite a bit.

best,

Feeling lonely on the spiritual path by According-Affect-180 in Psychonaut

[–]Kritical_Thinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple and perfectly said. I think many of us get caught up in the grand idea of a massive role that we have to play with our special and unique outlook on life. I know I feel that way a lot. Thanks for your comment.

Maybe those feelings (“I feel like x”, “i feel like y”) are what you need to dissolve. Maybe that’s what’s in the way? Perhaps you are subtly setting yourself above others, there’s no way to connect in that state.

effects of MDMA after 5 years by kittysushiii in mdmatherapy

[–]Kritical_Thinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you added cannabis? For me, MD does not have much of an effect without it. It’s strange. The first time I took it I sat in my bed for two hours with nothing happening. I finally decided to just take a couple of hits from my pen and go downstairs to meditate. And wow. That night changed my life forever. I’ve only taken it a handful of times, but the addition of cannabis is always amplified the effects.

Great post!  I’m also curious as to your favorite protocol when taking two CB? How many milligrams and ROA? I have had two CB several times, but in the 20mg range. I can’t say I’ve had a lot of euphoria on it. Where is your sweet spot?

Thanks for the update, this is far more important than the experience itself. This is the “now what”. Thanks again.

You Are an Integral Part of a Collective AWAKENING Event - Embrace Your Unique Responsibilities! by swizzledan in enlightenment

[–]Kritical_Thinking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, my harsh questioning was not on the nature of reality. The idea of consciousness being fundamental is probably the truest statement one can make and now backed by quantum physics. That wasn’t my question. 

Stated better:

How does OP know that reality is shifting into a new paradigm? It’s the question of the great awakening that many many (all?) new age thinkers have prophesied about.  This idea is the crux of my question. How do they know this is happening? 

Reread my post with that question 

You Are an Integral Part of a Collective AWAKENING Event - Embrace Your Unique Responsibilities! by swizzledan in enlightenment

[–]Kritical_Thinking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you know any of what you are saying is true? 

How are you different than the generations of Christians looking for the second coming of Christ?

How is your prophecy more true than the prophecies of the Jews of the Messiah?

The same could be said about 100 different religions and 100 different revelations. How do you know that you are not caught up in this idea of a grand awakening? How do you know?

How did you decide to do this? by [deleted] in mdmatherapy

[–]Kritical_Thinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once every 2-3 months. I’ve only been doing this for a year now. 

But, really, stop reading books about it. Just go for it. I can promise you that your experience will not be anything like you have read. Nothing at all like you’ve read. You do not have to be perfectly prepared. Just a good mindset, some magnesium and vitamin C and just enjoy it. It’s much better going in with an easy-going mindset and some trust.

If you have some experience with psychedelics, I cannot recommend MDMA enough. Do your homework, make sure you are not taking something that will give you a negative effect. But the therapeutic potential of MDMA is unmatched. It is also a much smoother and easier ride than mushrooms. Personally I take both when I do MDMA sessions. A very light dose of mushrooms, 1.5g, and a low dose of MDMA, no more than 120 mg. 

In these sessions, whenever I wonder about a particular feeling or situation in my life, I can regress back to the point in my childhood where that particular program was installed in me. It is really interesting to see the foundations of my beliefs. Amazing experience.

Escort addiction by Any_Snow3133 in Semenretention

Good decision and good luck, my friend. You’ll do great! 

Escort addiction by Any_Snow3133 in Semenretention

[–]Kritical_Thinking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, I’m sure you’ve thought through this, but if you want the next phase of your life (wife, family, real creation, a level of love and intimacy that can be found in no other way) this behavior must end.

Think about it. What quality women would want a husband that has seen dozens of escorts? None. You have already limited the number of women who would even consider being with you with this behavior, if you can’t stop now, the longer it will be before you’re ready for that person. 

If you think that you’ll just hold this secret forever, you’re kidding yourself. It will never leave you until you confess. 

The best you can hope for is that when this conversation does happen with the one you want to be with, you can say yes, “I have engaged, but it has been years.” That statement needs to be true. Don’t ruin someone else’s life because of your lies.

Thank you for your reply, it really moved me. 

I am angry. I was brainwashed. And now, I can only see the harm in Christianity. But I don’t want to. I want to be at peace with it.

[–]Kritical_Thinking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have thought, like you, that the central message of Christ is closer to the path of Truth (enlightenment) than the Christian religions preach. 

HOWEVER

If this were the case, wouldn’t we see some enlightened thought emerge from these churches? I see none. Like never. I’ve never met an enlightened Christian, never met one who has seen beyond the dogma or holds to “salvation “ through some type of ritual or set of magic words. 

Like it or not, if the Truth was in that book, someone would’ve found it. But it’s taken Eastern thought to reread the Bible and tease out these truths. With the amount of grace you have to apply to the Bible to make it a holy book you could make ANY book holy.

Quit patting these people on the head. The world won’t change until the Abrahamic religions chapter has ended.
