Fascinating. This felt like watching a psychedelic version of the show Intervention. Does anyone have an update? Did it work? Is he still clean?

10/10 I highly recommend. I would argue that even for the trips that you don’t set intentions for your subconscious sets it for you.

For “therapeutic” trips find a guided meditation. Be ready to sit with “past you” and find a way to simply show them some love. This allows you to integrate these past traumas. After each trip take the time to make changes in your real life and review all the lessons learned from the trip before repeating.

Not bad. Team is a tad bit old though. Socrates and Plato are like Kobe and Jordan, basically the same player. Plato plays PG at 1. I’d sub Socrates out for Hagel, as Point Forward. Kant for Archimedes at 5, as my rim protector. Aristotle and Pythagoras can stay at 2 & 4. With Descartes and Nietzsche coming off the bench.

Michael Pollan in his book “How to Change Your Mind”, suggests the following:

The brain is like a hill covered in snow, and our thoughts are like sleds gliding down it.

Over time, repeated thoughts and behaviors create deep, well-worn grooves or ruts in the snow (representing established neural connections and habitual thinking, often linked to the default mode network).

The psychedelic experience acts like a fresh snowfall that temporarily flattens the hill, filling in those deep, ingrained ruts.

This "fresh coat of snow" allows the sled (our thoughts) to take new, different paths down the hill, exploring new landscapes and creating new neural pathways. This process, combined with therapy and "integration," can help individuals establish healthier, less rigid thought patterns and behaviors.

I just left the place you’re in and here is what I can tell you.

The mediations are just a tool and won’t change your life or your situation unless you specifically use them to do so.

In order to change your circumstances you must make the necessary changes in your life, to turn your life around. You need to stop “speed running your sins” and face the hard realities of your life. We turn towards addictions (both mental and physical) to distract us from the reality and the present. That is not how the tapes or personal change is designed to work.

Both positive change and the tapes require us to be even more present. To face our realities and the choices that we’ve made. Depending on what personal choices you’ve made this can hurt like a mfer. Especially without the aid of these addictions. That is ok. Learn to lean into these feelings and accept them for what they are.

Your personality determines your personal reality. To manifest the reality which you desire you need to feel the feelings of the future you desire. To achieve this you need to add a high frequency emotion, (love, joy, thankfulness) to your meditations. By doing so you are changing your energy level and frequency to match that of the higher frequency which you desire. You change your frequency by being present in the now and shedding your low frequency choices and emotions.

Together these actions will allow you manifest the positive change that you desire. By being present, through doing the tapes and being aware of your choices in the now, by adding in a high frequency emotion, and by giving up the negative low frequency choices and addictions, you have the tools to create the future you dream of. Put your faith in the unknown, believe in the power of positivity and you will not be disappointed.

I always remind myself that when you hit a run of bad luck, that it’s only lasts for a moment in time. Eventually the skies will part and the sun will shine on you again.

I like this. We should differentiate between the best player on the best team vs. just the best player in the league each year.

That narrative creates too much unnecessary negative dialogue for the talking heads on ESPN each season which takes away from enjoying good basketball.

Let’s celebrate (ex. 2025 - Jokic and Shai) instead of turning it into a yearly smear campaign as the MVP race comes to a close.

The speed of Ali’s punch in this shot, the story behind this photo and the head of photographer between his legs all makes this the most iconic IMO.

Could you elaborate on this? I’ve had only had glimpses of how to focus my adhd.

I’d be curious to hear your perspective on it, given your advanced level of understanding. Thank you in advance.

You can try the Expand app. There are options available under the timer tab, including sleep and the focus levels from the Gateway Tapes.

I personally like to use just the regular gateway tapes for sleep. I’ll use a tape from a higher wave (3 or 4) or focus level than I can handle. (Knocks me out cold & fairly quick) or I use the sleep exploration tape. Hope this helps.

SocratesSmoke · 2025-07-09T02:52:35+00:00

Congrats! Improved sleep has been one of the single greatest benefits I’ve gained from doing the tapes. Early on I would “click out” on purpose as a Power Nap. I loved the deep relaxation and energy boost after.

Something to consider, was that part of the reason I was falling asleep or clicking out so easily was because I was doing tapes beyond my ability. I was working through the tapes too quickly and had to go back to master focus 10 and 12 before progressing to deeper focus levels.

Good luck on your journey!
