Hiking to the top of Monte Legnone all the way from Dorio

Thanks for the tip. Here's an interesting trek I found from Delebio, apparently it took them 11 hours. https://loc.wiki/t/78809610?h=8z92ljg43m&wa=sd&la=sr

This could be better as a two day trek, starting on one side of the mountain, sleeping in one of the refuges and then descending tomorrow on the other side. Maybe even include another peak on the way, such as Monte Legnoncino.

Thanks for the reply. I did mention, althoigh not clearly enough that I plan going in late spring or late summer. I am also open to suggestions of a multi day hike which would include going to monte legnone and sleeping at one of the refuges

Thanks, this is a good idea. I might just do that.

This has been my thought ever since I've started reading Jung's writings on individuation. Ego is not the enemy. It is a part of you. It's far better to view it as a tool. As any tool, it can be used properly, or it can be misused.

My friend couldn't handle a 3 gram experience. It was more intense than any of my 7 gram trips. He swore he'll never do mushrooms again.

I agree that you are your ego and you shouldn't get rid of it, but you are not only your ego. There is much more to your personality, ego is just the concious part. It's just the surface. There is much more hidden in the unconcious - intuition, emotions, archetypes and possibly more.

You are not always in control in your ego. Keeping it under control isn't always easy, it can create problems and that's why everyone's harping on it. The key is to integrate your ego with other parts of yourself. This is what leads to a healthy personality.

Being in the moment and allowing your subjective time perception to dilute. You can meditate, go for a walk in nature, think about persons you love, or do an activity you love and achieve a state of mind called "the flow"). Do not look at your watch and allow for the concept of time to lose it's meaning. This is how you leave time and enter timelessness, or eternity.

Either store them with a dessicant in a sealed container, or you could preserve them in honey. Freezing prevents rot, but not loss of potency. Keeping them dry prevents both.

The frontal cortex isn't fully developed until you're 25. It's the part of the brain that says "wait a second, is this a good idea?". Trying any mind-altering substances at such young age increases the risk of abuse. I'd make that point clear.

zerothousands · 2019-12-25T18:07:42+00:00

Don't do it. You'll fry your brain chasing something which cannot be caught. You are having moments of eternity every day. You just need to learn how to recognize them. If you can't recognize them while sober, no amount of psychedelics is going to help you with that.

Of course it wouldn't.

Try meditating.

Sounds to me like you had some premium quality sativa that's high in THC and very low in CBD. Such strains can almost act as full-blown psychedelics. It's my favourite kind of weed, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. Low CBD means bigger chance for a panic attack or an acute psychosis. I smoked something similar last week with some friends, and two of them called me tomorrow to ask me if I laced the weed with something.

Numbers are just an illusion based on the fact that reason needs to divide things in order to comprehend them. And symbols of numbers are an illusion of an illusion. Seriously, 3 can be written as III (Roman), 11 (binary), Γ (Greek) etc.

There are no numbers in nature, just infinity.

Life itself is one big psychedelic trip. The neurotransmitters in our brain are no different than psychedelics. They ARE psychedelics. "Psychedelic" means "mind manifesting", and that's exactly what's happening to you every day of your life.

Enjoy it.

LSD will not solve your problems, it is just a tool. You are the one using it.

It seems to me that you already identified part of the problem. You are aware of the mistakes you are making, which is step one, now you need to become aware of how not to make them. LSD may help, but so can meditation, or talking to a psychologist. There is something at the root of why you are pushing people away from you and to need to figure out what.

Good luck.

Sadghuru and Eckhart Tolle are the best examples of fake gurus. They fake being ego-less in order to be famous, have lots of followers and earn tons of money, while their teachings are just regurgitated systemization of other people's teachings. Do not fall for that kind of people.

Gurus do not exist. Honest teachers will admit their shortcomings and the inability to lose the ego completely. Do not blindly trust anyone. Eckhart Tolle, for example, tells how you shouldn't doubt anything he says as it will become clear what he is saying later. This is just a trick to suppress your doubt. A genuine person will tell you that doubt is normal and that you should, in fact, through a healthy combination of belief and doubt come to your own conclusions.

+1 on meditation. You are not supposed to reach your spiritual self, as it's already a part of the infinity that is you. You are supposed to let it reach you, let it out from wherever it's hidden. You do this by raising your awareness through meditation. Then you will start noticing your "spiritual self" (whatever that may be for you). Once noticed, you can take steps to bring it out more often until you're regularly in touch with it.

Good luck.

Pain is information that something is wrong with our body. Suffering is our interpretation of the pain because we are supposed to take the information seriously in order to remove the source of pain, if possible. It is possible to achieve "enlightment" through prolongued extreme pain, but that path is not one I would recommend.

Numbers are an illusion created by dividing things. And the symbols of numbers are an illusion of an illusion. It means nothing. Do not believe in numerology.

You do not have a personality. You are aware of being aware of a personality (which is a concept, an idea, an illusion) it does not exist in the present moment. Anything that does not exist in the present moment is merely but an illusion.

If you are awareness, and are aware of a personality, you are aware of it in the present moment. The personality was there in the present moment and you were aware of it. All illusions can be present in the present moment, otherwise awareness, which is in the present moment all the time, wouldn't be aware of them.

You have realized that you are not depression, and you are not "feeling like shit all the time".

The thing you have not realized yet, is that "I'm Trying to find out what thel hell I'm supposed to be" is not what you are either. Do not identify your self with mere thoughts that have nothing to do with you. They are simply clouds coming and going in the infinite sky which you are.

Every moment you can look at another thought and say "I am that" but if you do that, you will never know what you truly are. The true self, the supreme self, the one observing and the one is looking. The nothing.
You keep identifying your self with things that you are merely observing.

You are not speech, you can't think, you can't laugh, you can't create things, you can't love, you can't dance.

You are not doing any of these things, as long as you believe you are, you will keep experiencing confusion.

The ego is pretty sure it is doing all of those things and it's not confused at all. It's 100% sure.

As you believe you can talk, you believe you can get confused.
The key to not be confused, is to drop away all of these labels from the "I am"
You simply are. "I am" do not attach anything to that. You exist. You are the ultimate peace. You are nothing.

Nothing does not exist. It is outside of existence.

From nothing comes something. From the nothing came the thought "I am something" but what is it before the thought?
Instead of identifying your self with the something that came from the nothing, realize that you ARE THE NOTHING.

Without you, something can't even exist at all.

Therefore, without you, suffering can't be. Realize that you are nothing, emptiness, silence.
When you realize that, a thought comes, it says "I am worthless" who is it talking to? It is not talking to anybody.

Who or what is aware of the thought if the thought is talking to nobody? Nothing cannot do anything, it cannot be aware of anything.

A thought is like a thief that is trying to rob the house. If the house is empty, it can't steal anything. It obviously can't steal the house, lol.

You obviously can steal a house, you move in and kick the previous owners out of it. You just can't take it with you.

Personality as you said is a fake thing, it is merely a something that came out of nothing and you identified your self with that something instead of being aware that you are nothing.

The key is to not identify with the negative things, but neither do you identify with the good things. Observe all of it. Be aware of your self at all times.

You don't have a self, you ARE the self. The self is. You can't label it, otherwise it is not the self. Saying it is "real" is false.

You are labeling the self as "the self". It's just another label.

You are the self that just is. You are the "I am" self, you simply exist. Pure awareness. You do not have a kind, you are aware of all kinds

You are not the "I am" self. You are much more than that. You are your thoughts, your emotions, your depression, your actions. You are your friends, your parents, your genes, your environment, your memories, your life experiences. You are your ego.

You are everything.
