This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

just eat some psychedelics like a normal person the worst those can do is shatter your image of self and then rebuild it, oh and sometimes your muscles can ache a little afterwards because flexing them felt amazing
Any advice on getting decent info for someone considering beginning that particular journey?
As an alternative to psychedelics, you can reach the same states through meditation. With modern techniques you won't even need to sit under a tree for 49 days.
Look, I did not plant this bodhi tree for the fun of it, I'll take my 49 days!
But also any links to meditation advice is appreciated
My personal advice is: Making meditation a habit is the main hurdle. Set the bar of success so low you can trip over it, such as "I will meditate at least 3 minutes a day".
And for more what you seem to be after, you can't go wrong with the Gateway tapes. They're some guided meditations with a fancy audio technique that helps your brain tune to the desired mental frequency. This is a good place to start: r/gatewaytapes/wiki/start but I wouldn't recommend browsing the subreddit unless you want your experience to be influenced by the sub's communal lore.
If you'd like I can send you a link to a drive folder with the files if you don't want to pay.
