Serotenergic's like 4-HO-MIPT, LSD or 2-CT-2. Create a space of altered consciousness that is on the euphoric side. But not that overwhelming as MDMA. They make me look at me.
Maybe its because they more or less confront you with your own thoughts and believes. While experiencing mind blowing visuals. While taking you totally off guard.
Dissociative's especially N2O and Ketamine take you to another place. MXE and DCK and alike do to but their stimulant effect prevents going deep in the disso hole. Like I could walk and talk while in the MXE hole.
All those 3 types of psychs u mentioned have diff purposes LSD, MDMA and KETAMINE OR MXE. I think these are drugs are tools thst if you knoe how to use them and don't think them just as euphorants, you can have very profound experiences and learn a lot about from em.
I'm not saying they're the answer to the universe but u can have very interesting LSD trips that make you question certain stuff, ket holes that improve a chronic ongoing depression and MDMA to bond with your couple or get past some trauma, work on some trauma otherwise ud be scared to even mention it. Not everything is raving or festivals guys.✌
Time doesn't exist, it's a construction of the human mind. It's not even a constant, time as we know it can dilate, bent, shorten,etc. It is indeed weird the aspect(?) In life that we call time but defo jt is an illusion.
Yeah and you'll have to do it all over again till you do it correctly. I read somewhere though, that human form is the last step in this ascension to a higher self. So we are in a good path, I think sooo

I like this answer although I would dispute that it is really our "duty" to do anything, but I get it in the sense of an evolutionary imperative. The way I see it though, it is no more our "duty" to become gods than it is the duty of a star to create heavier elements and eventually blast them out into the wider cosmos to arrange themselves into more and more complex compounds and form. Duty implies a moral dimension which IMO is illusory, if a massive star in the vicinity of a supermassive black hole drifts too close to the event horizon and is spaghettified into a singularity before it can disperse it's payload of fused heavy elements into it's host galaxy, it hasn't failed in it's duty. Equally, if the human race fails to get off this rock before the forces of nature wipe us out, or even if we do, but never manage to break the laws of thermodynamics and reverse the flow of entropy or otherwise escape our dying universe, I don't believe we have failed in our duty.
Although actually you know what maybe I do kind of agree, in that it is our duty to try to preserve the light of consciousness. And I do subscribe to the idea that the universe will likely create the gods, in an inversion of the usual mythologies of history, in that the beings that persist to the heat death of the universe and beyond will necessarily be godlike. I guess I just struggle with the phrasing, but within the confines of our collective illusion of mind we can't help but use terms grounded in the moral universe of mind that guides our decisions, whether these "decisions" are illusions or not. I don't think I'm actually making any kind of point here, just idly musing about the idea.
I do not like this answer at all. Bloodline, really? This is a very narrow perspective and a perpetuation of the tribal mindset which is likely a Great Filter which we must overcome if we are to survive as a species in the long term, and thus preserve the light of consciousness of which we are stewards, willingly or not, and for better or worse. To prioritise accumulation of resources for your direct bloodline rather than that of the human species as a whole - or even life itself - is an archaic and harmful idea. This kind of thinking serves pre-technological, pre-sentient animals and early hominids, even early humans in the dark and brutal past of the evolution of our species, but we must move past this if we are to have any hope of becoming more than we are.
Equally - in the implausible but not impossible scenario where the human race itself had to choose between preserving itself, at the cost of dooming another sentient species, when that other species was overwhelmingly more likely to be a more capable steward of the light of consciousness - then we should sacrifice ourselves in the name of the preservation of life, specifically intelligent, sentient life. Otherwise we are still just a tribal animal, unable to see beyond the narrow horizon of our own self-interest on the tapestry of life itself in this universe.

Even space seems to be flat.Time doesn't exist, it's a construction of the human mind. It's not even a constant, time as we know it can dilate, bent, shorten,etc. It is indeed weird the aspect(?) In life that we call time but defo jt is an illusion.
Serious, what we experience as moving round in a solar system. Is nothing more then our interpretation of the curving of a flat universe with some heavy object's in it that curve it.
Watched that on Tv, forgot who presented it but it surely brought some new insight about what we see and know and that reality is conflicting at best with what I accept as real.

Dissociatives feel more like a dreamstate than classic Tryptamine psychedelics and more wacky you take less back from the trips still great experience though and not common for most but Im more likely to have a bad trip on a dissociative due to the confusion than conventional Tryptamine psychedelics I get i during entering k holes where I forget I've taken a drug and am unsure what is happening or can't make out my room and it's not fun when that happens I find dissociatives to have an anti depressant affect after tho which is sick !

Agreed, my party day's are long gone. But some drug induced states had profound influence on me.
To bad my addictive side will always be at my side. Be it dissociative's or psychedelic's. MDMA is even worse. Got really hooked on that one.
I wonder if that last one ever teached me something. It seems more like something that should be used in a setting that enable's you to gain insight.
What i find different about dissociative's imo is they totally take over. That i like that is a side effect. But they differ so much.
DCK: Birch trees and leaves with a breeze.
Ketamine: architectural form's and very influenced by what you listen to.
2F-DCK: Root Fiber like hole, like your part of the universe.
MXE: Alienating and very sense enhancing. I could feel how the ground felt. This is a wetland so it was like walking on a sponge.

Why do you need to know the point of life?
Because that would give you the reason you need to live.
You can start living now by deciding what the reason is.
You're alive now, whether or not you're asking these questions.

Simple and effective.
For me that could be re-stated as "the problem of life is deciding what to do with it".
It’s the unique experience it provides.. it’s probable that no other experience exists close to this.. the struggle, the drives.. hate lust love… war.. how frail we are how free free are.. the intense soul warping pain.. the struggle.. the insanity. The bliss and joy. The fear and betrayal, the senseless insanity that steals our souls only to be trumped by the senseless insanity that is our souls.. it’s undertaking and participation in such an singularity..
Can you think of anything more amazing you’d rather be doing?

The point to life is being alive.
The point to existence is to exist.
