There actually are randomized controlled trials suggesting mushrooms can help treat depression, addiction, phobias etc. "You're looking outside of yourself" - Not at all, I'm okay with the mushrooms taking me inward for shadow work and introspection, in fact that's what I'm hoping they will do! The mushrooms are just an excellent guide to help facilitate that. Even Teal, the queen of shadow work and introspection has used psychedelics at points in her life for answers when she felt called to it. This notion of having to heal by yourself is flawed, if we're truly all one then getting help from the "outside", whether it be from people, entheogens or whatever, only makes sense. And saying they "won't work for me" is quite absurd, how could you possibly know how these kinds of entheogens will work for someone else when everybody reacts to them differently based on where they are in their life, the way their individual brain is wired, their intentions, their setting, the dosage and a number of other factors? Even people who dedicate their lives to studying these things can't accurately predict exactly what someone else will take away from the experience because it's so incredibly subjective.

Trust me, I know it's a lot and that it's recommended to start low but I've been suicidal and depressed for so so long... I need a breakthrough now, things need to change drastically and I need some kind of guidance for how to proceed in life because no else can help me. Also it's not easy to get my hands on mushrooms where I'm from, so this is going to be my only shot for a while. I'm totally open to any other tips you've got though.

Tried a low dose of LSD a couple weeks ago for the first time by myself (100 ug). I loved it but I don't feel like I gained much from it in terms of growth, it was a fun trip and I felt the after glow the next day as for the first time in years I felt no urge to engage in my addiction which felt liberating but it slowly started to wear off and now I'm still the same person I was before even though I went in wanting it to drastically change my perspective on things so that I could figure out how I should proceed in life and no longer be stuck where I am. Now I've got my eyes set on magic mushrooms in June, this time it's going to be a heroic dose of around 5 grams. Fingers crossed.

48:03 No, I can't think of a single example of that, certainly not in regards to relationships because the question was literally about not having any relationships. And yet somehow the consciousness that she was channeling said yes. Doesn't make sense. Teals answer seemed to be more about the transition between relationships rather than the problem of not having any in the first place. That makes me sad, it's like the notion of someone not being able to have any relationships at all is completely inconceivable.

I think you're right.

NEWS FLASH I don't get triggered by people who don't follow rules, social norms etc. Couldn't be farther from the truth, this case was an exception for some reason.

Omg the ending makes me SO uncomfortable, like really uncomfortable, I can't even watch it unless I put the volume really low and look away from the screen slightly while pausing the video every few seconds to recuperate lol I'm dead serious. Nothing against the woman personally or anything, I can tell she's in pain and I wish her the best, but for some reason the entire ending bit just makes me cringe with severe embarrassment, could it be that I see a part of myself that I don't like in her? I have so much resistance to this feeling, maybe more than any other feeling. Holy shit...

If the only reason people can't literally sprout wings is because they don't really believe it, then what about young children? Surely there are quite a few kids out there who think they can, and yet they don't.

Totally, I'm a guy so although that one triggered me, the one about her being super smart and better than everyone at everything she does triggered me much more. I'm still not sure how I feel about it.

Yeah but we're talking about adults, I don't know.. it just feels weird to me to speak about personal freedom in those terms.

I don't like the idea of restricting your freedom in a box or only for a specific period of time. "Let free on a leash", that doesn't sound healthy at all in a relationship imo.

I'm not sure I like the definition of a leader being "responsible for other people", I feel like everyone is responsible for themselves. To let someone else be responsible for you feels humiliating to me.

Same, it's the only reason I subscribed and not only could I not watch it during original the livestream because of insane lag, but now the segments that are being posted are also lagging like crazy. I hope this issue is fixed in time for the next workshop because I feel kinda robbed.

Although they are aimed at children, they can be enjoyed at any age. I started them at 11 (just like harry) and I read the final book at around 17 (just like harry) but I know people who started it well into their 20s and 30s, even 50s.

Lol I took the Pottermore quiz on 4 different occasions and got Gryffindor each time. I'm not complaining, Dumbledore was a Gryffindor, nuff said. That being said Slytherins are still definitely the coolest house.
