Went to a rave two nights ago on an ETH, AL, and 1A combo, 150ug of each. There were points where I thought the music was speaking directly to me and nobodyelse could here it, also driving home I was about two blocks from my house and just lost all sense of direction, didn't know where I was for a hot minute
 
One of my Yoga teachers sent me e a link to this video clip as inspiration. And inspirating, it is. Absolutely amazing. I just had to share it. This is what Yoga is about:

Inner peace can be achieved in various ways. This is one. You should check it in full screen.

I disagree. Asanas as traditionally practiced in Raja Yoga are only one out of eight steps of the Raja Yoga path to Samadhi or full experiencing of the Brahman nature of reality. Asanas as isolated in Western practices can actually lead to spiritual bypassing and the movement of emotional and energetic rigidity from the physical to the energetic body, making clearing and unblocking that much harder as the rigidity is no longer accessible through the body itself. In addition, the movement into advanced asanas can easily turn into spiritual materialism, enhancing the ego and actually preventing spiritual growth through the pleasure of progression and the ability to do said "advanced" asanas.

Asanas, or yoga as you speak of, is primarily a spiritual practice. The music and editing of the video certainly portray a peaceful existence of those filmed, but the ability to do advanced maneuvers in no way should be seen as "what yoga is all about".


If you're interested in what yoga as spoken of in the West, or rather asanas, are really about and where they fit into the Raja Yoga path, check this link out: http://www.expressionsofspirit.com/yoga/eight-limbs.htm Asanas are only one step in the path of eight limbs. Taken out of context it can and is dangerous.
 
So my ISP is playing this hilarious prank on me, where every time I try to play an online game, my ping starts spiking to 500+ms. Haha, good one, AT&T -_-

I'm sorry, my phrase was poorly formulated and in fact you got it in completely the wrong way, which is my mistake. What I meant with "this is what Yoga is about" was the peaceful and meditative aspect of the video (that was the impression I got), not advanced Asanas as isolated. For me it portrayed that meditation and inner peace can be achieved even in very advanced asanas. You can see the sense of calm from the yogis in the video. I myself practice Shakta-Shaiva Yoga, which focuses on the mind and meditation more than on Asanas as isolated physical "exercise". Asanas are only a means to meditation and inner peace. So I really formulated myself badly with that phrase and should have clarified what I meant better. I fully agree with you.

Here's a quote from the Shakta Yoga School (which I attend) website:

As yoga has become popular throughout the world, the question of the real meaning of yoga, has been left unclear. Most modern yoga systems resemble purely physical exercises, such as aerobics or muscle stretching, being exactly that: simply physical exercises. But what does the word yoga really mean? After years of searching Shakta Joogakoulu has found its answer to this question. We are proud to present a yoga system that bases itself in a holistic science. Based on the world’s oldest philosophy and medicine, Shakta does not see the human being as a pile of bones and muscles. The idea is not to perform mere acrobatic postures, but to have wholesome practice that produces well-being in all areas of life. Studying the old traditions is not important in itself, but rather we see it essential to find a method that works best.

The yoga of the Shaiva-Shakta tradition approaches the subtle systems of the body through various methods, such as postures (Asana) and breathing (Pranayama). We flow through the asana series gently, and on the surface it looks familiar to anyone familiar with yoga. Our classes don’t require any earlier experience. Because of the healthy and gentle approach, injuries are very rare in our classes. However, many students will find the speed of the development surprisingly fast. Our school is a living example of how understanding your practice helps you to accomplish more than merely by wrenching and tearing the body.

Eight limbs really seems like too many =D I am really happy that I returned to Zen meditation, it fits well in my recent breakthrough to let go of more things and relax instead of forcing myself to do a lot of things (fueled by dexamph) and cramping up from it. I realize how pointless that is, even if it helped me get my life back on track up until this point.


I just got a box from my dad with pots from his grandpa's apothecary in Indonesia (colonial past i regret to say).. some with contents, others I will use to store species of edible mushrooms I found this summer.

Growing edibles is going well :) (and i guess all is well with ethnobotanical plants too)

by the way this is not the tripping social thread, you might get better response there about tripping and getting high
 
^ Are you referring to me? Because various people make posts in this thread about drug use. Also when I was tripping I posted in the "social tripping" thread and was told I needed to go to the trip reports to post about it lol.

I am just confused. I dont really cause any trouble for other posters and its not like I sit here and post all day everyday cluttering the thread up. Guess I just dont fit in here :)
 
No worries man, I think he was just saying you might get people replying more. There aren't really any rules for the social threads. Not sure who told you to go to trip reports but the social tripping thread is definitely for talking about getting high. :)

I highly recommend a switch to Comcast if you have it in your area (Xfinity). My family had AT&T while I lived with them; I loathed it for online gaming. DSL connections blow. I got Xfinity in my new apartment and I've had nothing but quality speeds since. Cable connection ftw!

P.S. We should def chill when I roll through brah %)


Finally got my insurance set up today for the Miata. I decided to pay half of the year upfront with the other half in six months, instead of paying monthly. It's amazing how much cheaper my insurance is now that I'm older and have a clean driving record. I'm only paying about $70/month now, and for a two seat roadster. Unfortunately they won't factor in my turning 25 years old until my policy lapses in a year, even though I turn 25 in two months. I could have waited, but top-down fun is calling my name... can't wait to hit the streets in the MX-5 8)
 
^I guess I'm having a quarter-life crisis heheh. I had a sports coupe once before (a 240sx) when I was 18 but the insurance was insane and I only had it for a year. My insurance is only for liability now, I'm sure comprehensive and all would cost me an arm and leg. I opted for no extra coverage since the car was only 2800 bucks lol. If I had full coverage, it would cost me the value of the car within two years easy. If I wreck her, I'll just buy another one :|
 
I've been checking out Phenibut for the last couple of weeks, but I'm not sure I get anything from it. I tried 500 mg and felt absolutely nothing. Then two days later I took 500 mg followed by a 500 mg redose two hours later, and felt kinde of stimulated and over excited for maybe about an hour or two, some 50 minutes after taking the second dose but that was it.

A week later I took 1500 mg dissolved in water. I drank half the bottle then an hour latter the other half. Almost unnoticeable effects, just a faint drunken feeling that kicked in about 6 hours after dosing. Smoked some weed at t+8 and got really high though, I guess there was some synergy going on.


I'm not sure If I wanna bother exploring further, I'm starting to get concerned about having got and low quality batch, containing high amounts of god knows which kind of impurities.

You could just need more than 1500mg, but I've also had it from sources where it seemed decidedly less good.

I've taken it twice since I came off of it, I waited for a month after I felt pretty much fine before I did the first time, then a couple of weeks later I decided to do it again (it was for my show last weekend). I haven't felt any sort of issues afterwards, so I think I've got my useful occasional tool back and I'll make sure to keep it occasional this time. :)
 
Man, my best friend from childhood last night sent me some sketchy texts. As a preface, in the past couple of years he's gotten pretty deep into meth. He's jumped from one addiction that nearly destroys him to the next. He got into alcohol to get off coke, got into heroin to get off alcohol, and now he's gotten into meth to get off heroin. I saw him for the first time in 2 years this past Christmas and he has the meth look, it's already affected his behavior and appearance quite a bit. He even borrowed $50 from me and kept giving me excuses about how he couldn't pay me back "quite yet". Well I don't care much about that, I knew I might not get it back when he asked and it was only $50.

Anyway, he sent me a rapid-fire group of texts last night, asking me to paypal him $215 if he venmos me $215. He proceeded to elaborate greatly about how his brother would only pay him with venmo and how he has a paypal credit card (as if that makes a difference - couldn't he use that on credit then?), and he has a girl coming over in 30 minutes and he wants to get laid but he has no money. I looked up venmo and it's a legit thing, but apparently it's rife with scamming because it doesn't give you the money for a business day and the sender can cancel before it becomes final, whereas paypal is instant. I'm like, okay dude, you don't need precisely $215 to entertain a lady... you might need it for drugs though. It COULD have made sense but... nah.

I ignored it completely, didn't even respond because I didn't want to deal with it. Makes me feel pretty weird having to think my oldest friend is trying to scam me for money, but there it is, gotta protect myself. :\

Yeah the combonation of a dopamine rush and being broke don't mix. I have seen many people in that state and it makes me feel sad not just for them but that I long for that same rush they are experiencing so often even though I know how destructive it can be.
