Dear Leo,
As someone who has had exposure to DMT and 5-MeO-DMT for many years, I want to respectfully point out you are wrong about 5-MeO-DMT being a magic pill to enlightenment.
That state that 5-MeO puts you into, is a temporary state. That state is the state which yogis and meditators try to reach through meditation alone, and even for them, it is a temporary state. YET, the meditators are more likely to be able to maintain more awakened states for longer periods of time, which is what they are doing through the beingness within meditation.
As far as “Enlightenment” goes, who cares? The word “shibboleth” comes to mind, it is really an outmoded concept which has lost its meaning and worth. I do believe in more expanded or activated states, but see that most people are not grounded or responsible to ground and integrate these into their everyday life. They have too much “stuff” on their plate which is inhibitive, and too much to learn about operating their monkey suit, that “enlightenment” is besides the point.
I do think 5-MeO is a useful experience and I do think it can help people, but this blast is not sustainable, as you say in the video, it is not something people keep reaching back for. I have come to feel that low dose 5-MeO from plant sources is the way forward in terms of 5-MeO-DMT, just as Changa is more integrateble than the NN, DMT blast. In this way, more intricate and intregratable conscious healing work can occur.
Also, it comes back to personal cosmology perhaps, the way I see human reality is, we are in possession of the tool which is ourselves, which is being missed or unused, and so are not working (because we not using IT). I think 5-MeO-DMT can help people to wake up (or like I say activate), but at the end of the day, activation is probably more of a species wide event, rather than just the attainment of individuals. This is what was communicated to the first time I smoked 15mg of synthetic 5-MeO-DMT.

Christian Aichert I agree with Julian Palmer and what he says about enlightenment and the intake of some shamanic medicine. The true sense of the word guru means "one who brings light into the darkness.

Anjo Jurema All which you learn, you have to be able to ground in this realm. Without meditation you would not manage to ground your experiences, they will forever be a taste of heaven and would vanish. Meditation and body work, tend to be a good ground...
Rafael Lancelotta
Rafael Lancelotta Well said as always, Julian. I appreciate particularly your mention of changa and low dose DMT/5-MeO-DMT experiences for easier integration. Doing the legwork after an experience is as important if not moreso than the experience itself. Meditation and/or unitive spiritual practice are essential to carrying out what has been learned into the community at large.
Richard King
Richard King Julian is right in the sense that the egoic/localised/separate 'me'/''you' does not attain Unity Consciousness but in the state of Unity there is an awareness of the small self as one would expect (otherwise it would not be Unity of course!.) Regretful...See More

Alexis Walters
Alexis Walters Totally agree. I enjoyed Leo's video and honestly look forward to seeing his documentation of how regular dives into the abyss using 5MeO will effect the expansion of his consciousness, mostly out of shear curiosity. But that is not a path I intend to ...See More
John Fenton
John Fenton Awesome thread guys, so incredibly helpful and insightful. Love your point Elena about how most people reduce this incredible experience/opportunity to change 'how we think' (about life) rather than 'what we think'.

I shall definitely be consciously taking that awareness into the next retreat and suggesting to others that they to do the same.

Grapes O Thoth
Grapes O Thoth The problem, Julian, is ignorance concerning the nature of consciousness. There exist psychic parasites that feed off numinous states , and are capable of enzymatically converting them to their toxic enantiomorphs, generating higher and subtler levels of duality in opposition to cosmic order.

Grapes O Thoth I've been in the infinite perspective vortex and I saw Zaphod Belbebox . I asked him what he was doing here and he just shrugged and said - I dunno - it's your trip.

Grapes O Thoth Yes - I've written a paper about the synthetic/organic dichotomy....some surprising things turn up especially in relation to how so-called 'synthetic' drugs are actually 'grown' by organisms that have had their phenotypes engineered...things are not as clear cut as we would like them to be....
Penelope Whitworth Can you explain more, Grapes O Thoth?

Grapes O Thoth I'm preparing a blog but for the time being if you go to my timeline, there are posts I made a few days ago - quotes from the paper: 'McKenna's Machine Elves'. In this paper I show that it's possible to hijack the metabolic machinery of cells in ...See More

Penelope Whitworth Who's telling you to shut up? OK, so I didn't understand at least half of your post above, Grapes, but the quote from the Machine Elves was really intriguing. If you're OK with not shutting up and can explain the second half of your post above in simpler terms, I would be very interested.

Penelope Whitworth How is it different than 5-MeO-DMT?
Grapes O Thoth
Grapes O Thoth For homework, I'd like you to examine the lives , eras and deaths of three 'magic bullet for enlightenment' gurus : Timothy Leary, Terrence McKenna and Bill Hicks. Then look at the decline and fall of the Mayans. For extra credit, write a 500 word essay on this quote : 'And Faustus, knowing everything, could now be tempted with non -dual states'. (Mephistopheles)

Penelope Whitworth I'm not interested in "homework," Grapes O Thoth, but if you'd like to answer my question, I'd like that.
