What is the best starter psychedelic?

Miprocin or 4-HO-MiPT for me! (Or plain ole' shrooms!) I know 4-HO-MET gets all the love on reddit, but I find Miprocin similar and superior. If it is visuals that you want, go for Metocin though. B…

Why can't I astral project anymore?

Avoid AP when sleeping. Avoid trying and just do it. Try is the pre suggestion for failure. Stop using the intellectual and only use the intuitive. Separation is impossible as the astral body doesn…

Emotionally immature mom

Usually when I'm bargaining with myself about reaching out to my mom I have an unmet need somewhere or another part of me that needs to accept it further. It's a process, for me a really loooong one. …

No one warns you that childhood trauma doesn’t end, it just waits until your 30s to finally surface
