Thanks for this video! 5-MEO DMT cured me of needing any more psychedelics. I realized I was chasing something that I already was but didn't realize it. I loved the "enlightened" feelings of LSD and would take it to get back to that feeling. But now realize it was just another ego trap. There is nothing to do and no better version of myself to achieve. What a gift. I can also relate to the equanimity of losing my Dad. He died last year and the grief I felt very different than I thought. Just gratitude and love.
Interesting. How did you find it to be an ego trap? Self satisfaction from the induced feelings of enlightenment? Those are good feelings but I think we can journey past the surface effects in the search for insight. Perhaps there was some lesson there in the understanding of that “ego trap” mechanism itself.
@@aliparman While on the drug it wasn't a ego trap. It feels quite freeing of all that. And then once I'm back into the sober mind my ego wants to return to that. That's the trap. After my one and only 5MEO experience I realized that this experience of being a human being is it. The attempts to escape it by dissolving the ego permanently is not only impossible, but antithetical to enlightenment. Being fully present in the egoic mind and yet not attached to it is it. That is the ultimate freedom as I'm not trying to be something I'm not. I'm not swimming against my own mind and my own humanity. All the while aware that these experiences are just thoughts, feelings and sensations and aren't nearly as scary or important as the ego thinks.
All the good feels with watching this. Z - I'm a nurse and a psychedelic guide, I've been watching you for years and it keeps getting more and more interesting!
Oh man. This is super deep. I deleted my comment. I’m usually super down for comedy in any situation, but this is no joke. Sending all the Love to all you wonderful, amazing people. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
DMT is what got me. Mine was not a slow or fun experience, but it did change my world. I experienced death. And life. And everything in between. I probably won't do it again 😂 Thank you for your vulnerability here, a wild wild ride to listen to.
I’m afraid to try salvia. NN changed my life. Want to try 5-meO! You are an inspiration breaking the stigma of talking about these in a holistic and spiritual way.
Ok....wow! And I'm in Thailand...soon to go to Peru. That was fantastic on this rainy day in Khao Lak. I loved the un-journey concept and from a medical perspective combined with "listen to what the universe is pointing you toward" I soooo appreciate that you took that one for the team! Thank you for that. If there is a que for Mira Funk I would like to be in it. With love, from Sheila the Nurse♥️🙏🏻
Thank you for having the courage to post this, Z! It's good to bring awareness to these tools, especially in this light. Listening to this makes me grateful my 5 MeO experience was administered as a single, big-bang approach, however. I just went straight into existential emptiness (sounds closer to your salvia experience where the universe was gone), but also sensed a profound, subconscious, energetic transformation occurred.
Hey Doc. You should considering interviewing someone who is in the field of Iboga therapy... 5-meo is known to produce non-dual states *consistently.* Due to the physical make up of the chemical. Whereas Iboga has a veritable cascade of effects on addiction. And can potentially save people from opiate over dose. This is near and dear to my heart, as it _could have_ saved the life of my brother. I hope you can use your channel to spread the word when appropriate. I love the stuff you do on her with Angelo Dilullo on awakening. It's super unique, and I re-listen to those often. Have a good one doc'
Wow Zubin and Mira😊 this was a beautiful share and beautifully transmitted ❤. I’m glad I stayed because I was almost out when you said at the start rectal insertion 😂😂😂
I watched this before sleep and woke up in the middle of the night in a total state of hypnopompia with full visual and auditory hallucinations... geometric patterns, and buzzing. I have to add that the last time I took any psychedelic was at least a decade ago.
Good video. After sitting in our forest for over 10 years, day in day out 365, winter summer etc, for 2 1/2 to 3 hours a day, completely sober, I decided to take some LSD from my son in law and while the colors were more "cartoon" like, it didn't compare to what I saw in meditation. I also didn't like the speed effect of the LSD. Later I tried 4 to 5 grams of very good mushrooms and that experience was closer to what I experienced in sitting, but still nothing near the experience of sitting for these long periods. The down side for us "easy way" westerners is that we would rather take a drug rather than sit for 10 plus years, hours a day, every day hoping we will become enlightened or awakened, etc. just my two cents, might be different for others. no judgment.
I don't feel a calling to do any psychedelics; however, I do find it curious how there does seem to be some type of spiritual awakening happening around the world. Listen to some Near Death Experiencers (NDE) stories of their experiences and what they see for the future. Something is happening.
Wondering if this type of journey could help me with chronic pain I believe is self generated after mild life traumas. So far all medical tests cannot find a reason for my daily persistent type of pain. So I’m discovering maybe it’s generated by my own brain. Might explore psychedelics & see if they can help me work through whatever it is, and stop this pain (daily persistent headache).
Psychedelics are the "trendy" thing to do now. Meditation and psychedelics do have a dark side. Interview Willoughby Britton from "Cheetah House" - a meditation recovery center. She is highly knowledgeable about the adverse effects of meditation.
I've had some 5-MeO-DMT and N,N-DMT (both in freebase form) for a little over 6 months now but I've been too scared to try the 5-MeO. The N,N is super interesting but I'm also scared to push past a small dose. The whole "reactivation" part of the 5-MeO apparently happens to around half of the people that take it and that's been a worry point of mine. My friend tried some and had a reactivation months down the line after smoking some cannabis and said that it was practically a full-blown experience. I also don't think that I have any kind of trauma so I'm not sure how much it would benefit me. Maybe I just need to wait until it "calls" me. As for salvia, I've done it once and it was terrifying. It felt like I was stuck in a loop and I started sweating profusely.
I’ve experienced 5meo, Ayahuasca, San Pedro and MM… but the folks that facilitated these ceremonies don’t discuss the the experience in the way you guys do. And for me the it’s not helpful to analyze it in the way you do. I also do not need to have more than two experiences back to back… but I know from seeing others in ceremonies that can handle what you did… but in my experience these individuals are not going through anything like what I experience. Also the ceremony is just as important as the medicine… and I think I was very lucky to have found the facilitators that I did… the music is also super important for me and that alone is something I could never have imagined being so profound. Everyone is different… but your discussion here would not have inspired me to take my plant journey…too masculine analytical for me.
For my son's 30th birthday, we did a guided mushroom retreat. For my DILs 30th, in a few months, we want to try DMT. I couldn't figure out how to find it safely, so hopefully this will guide me in the right direction. Thank you!!!
I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile now. When my friend sent me this I honestly thought it was going to be all the reasons I shouldn’t do it. Here’s a question that you’ll probably never see. Are there potential ramifications on your medical license? Obviously you’re not going to get high and go to work. But how long will it show up in urine and is it a potential problem?
Perhaps the post modernist philosophy is - religion isnt the answer and neither is science There is no grand narrative or equation . Reality itself is a paradox , the tongue cannot taste the tongue . A feature, not a bug
For me, Salvia = NO THING AT ALL. No time/space. Almost full on cessation, then return of crazy scrambled reality, then "this" reality which was clearly seen to be everything and perfect beyond words. And very simple.
