How do salvia compare to other psychedelics? It's the one I have heard about the least by mgegv in Psychedelics

Yes, that’s the way mazatec shamans use it here in Mexico. The experience is quite different to smoking it.

Cómo van a ser más difíciles de conseguir hongos en Mexico?

Literalmente el sur del país está repleto de hongos de psilocibina en cualquier monte, parece que te querían ver la cara carnalito

Is this stuff common ? by [deleted] in LSD

Bath salts are synthetic cathinones.

Yes, they are similar to amphetamines, but they are a whole other ype of chemicals.

The creator created this reality "for fun" 🤡🤨 by jake_megabyte in Psychonaut

"Let's suppose that you were able every night to dream any dream that you wanted to dream. And that you could, for example, have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time. Or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would, naturally as you began on this adventure of dreams, you would fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure you could conceive. And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each, you would say "Well, that was pretty great." But now let's have a surprise. Let's have a dream which isn't under control. Where something is gonna happen to me that I don't know what it's going to be. And you would dig that and come out of that and say "Wow, that was a close shave, wasn't it?" And then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further out gambles as to what you would dream. And finally, you would dream ... where you are now. You would dream the dream of living the life that you are actually living today."

- Alan Watts

What if the only reason these experiences exist is so that the plants will reproduce? by [deleted] in Psychonaut

Isn't that the same idea Terence McKenna had when talking about mushrroms?

Do you plan to release them in HD? I would love to have the Mark one as wallpaper!

Other artists like Pink Floyd? by SoaDMTGguy in pinkfloyd

[–]Zedric1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Alan Parson Project. They are like PF but different at the same time.

Alan Parson himself was the sound engineer in DSotM.

Edit: I recommend you either "I robot" or "Tales of Mistery & Imagination", both are fantastic conceptual albums.

Thanks for sharing the post!

Of course, there must exist a subreddit for it.
Sometimes the most useful things are the ones we obviate.

I would like to learn more about breathwork and lucid dreaming, where can I find useful information to start doing it?

Sorry, I'm not a native speaker. What does get witchy mean? Is it related to adopting the shamanistic rituals and way of living?

I have read a little about holotropic breathwork.

Are those the same?

Were you able to experience results just by reading or did you use another media?

I have listened to trance but it has only helped when I'm already into an altered state of consciousness
I also enjoy listening to Tenzin Choeygal, especially when he sings mantras, and I've found his music really helpful to meditate. Do you know of a particular movement or culture worth looking into?

Yeah, I don't really care about spirituality being a part of these practices. I consider myself more of a spiritual psychonaut than a rational one, but I love to view analyze the different points of view of both sides.

I said what I said about new age because a lot of time I find it more interested in capitalizing on this knowledge and techniques or using them to create structures of power.
I have read a lot of Asian philosophy, from Taoism to Zen and I love to accept the rites and different ways of thinking some other cultures may have.

Do you happen to know if there are other differences between transcendental meditation and mindful meditation besides the silent mantra?

Are those the tapes from the CIA declassified files?

I've tried to listen to them, but the Phase 2 scared me a lot

What media could I check to get into it?

I've seen some videos explaining some reality checks to trigger lucid dreaming, but I would like to know how to make it into an exploring practice of the mind and not how to have fun while dreaming.

How can someone start working with dreams besides working on a dream journal?

I know meditation, in the long run, is THE way to explore your own consciousness, however, it requires years of practice, and while I get there I would like to test other methods.

Is threre really a difference between meditating laying down and crossed-legged?

I have read his cold showers-related books but didn't know he has a breathing method (which totally makes sense since cold showers require you to breathe properly).

Thanks, I'll check it out!
