You'll find just below a very, very, very interesting and controversial video about enlightenment through substances.
It has just been published today and it is and very interesting point of view, especially coming from a 'youtube spiritual guru'.
This substance 5-MeO-DMT is supposed to give you enlightenment in 10 minutes, instead of 20 to 30 years of meditation. Who wouldn't be interested in that ?
Obvsiouly it will not be permanent, BUT at least you'll know what IS possible.
To tell you the truth, I have tried it already, but I never got the effect Leo (the guy in the video) is talking about, and finally I understand why:
The medicine (it's better to call it this way), can be found in two forms:
Salt (HCl) and freebase
And the two forms and not used the same.
The salt form (HCl) can be dissolved in water, so it's better if you snort it.
The freebase form can only be smoked.
I was smoking the salt form ... I was doing it all wrong ...So I am really looking forward trying it again.
If you are interested in the subject I advise you to watch/listen also to these videos:
