Finally back after catching "that certain virus" 🙂 Thanks to everyone for your support, and also patience in waiting for new content. Things should be more or less back to normal now
Happy you are back and doing well... 🙏❤️ Thank you for sharing your knowledge on so many fascinating topics!! I appreciate you and the time you take to make these beautiful and educational videos!!! I am so grateful for you 🙏 PS. Your girlfriend is absolutely beautiful and amazing!! The love you have for each other is truly genuine and beautiful ❤️🙏
There are so many people/youtubers out there that only seem to take psychedelics to see pretty colours and shapes, that it's always good to hear from people like yourself, Rob, who respect the substances, and can find great value in these experiences. Great advice, as ever, mate.
3 minutes in and I'm thinking YES! The difference between the dogged pursuit of wealth and monetization of everything, versus How can I just help us all find a better way of being? Thank you for being the latter.
Its my pleasure Jason It seems disingenuous to me that there are so many people out there bitching about capitalism and talking about how we need to change the planet with psychedelics, but then trying to put basic advice behind a paywall - wuuuuuut?
That's true but we need to also appreciate that creating useful content is time and energy consuming and it's worth paying for. But for someone to do it for free 8ts a real service to others.
Love your content man! I'm happy to see more people talking about integration. Since we do not have a shamanic function in our society, we have to relearn these things in order to help people truly heal. It took me several years to integrate a single mushroom and acid trip, and i could say I'm still integrating.
Thank you so much for making this. I got involved in psychedelic activism after using psilocybin to free myself from otherwise untreatable PTSD. I'm kind of a loner in the community because I had already been there and done that with New Age scene in my early to mid 20's and after reading some Carl Sagan I'd been a science minded atheist for many years before finding psychedelics. I would never decline anyone's friendship because they believe in stuff I don't but at the same time I'm internally doing the worlds biggest groan and eyeroll when people start telling me about their psychic powers or that they're energy workers. I don't think they understand that from where I am they're just a weirdo waving their hands around and thinking they're way, way, way more special than everyone else. One or two powerful experiences and they start calling themselves a shaman and talking about themselves like they're the next Timothy Leary or something. For some it's ego-death and others it's ego-steroids.
After several really powerful revelations...I knew I needed time to integrate the experience. What actually happened, is that I ended up visiting a hypnotherapist two years later.... Seeing visions, and being able to implement change, are two different things. Now that was the best money I've ever spent. All the psychedelics did really, were show me where to look. The actual life change came through a professional therapist. Not some branded hippie nonsense, but a trained hypnotherapist that help integrate my whole life. That was how I beat a life of depression and anxiety, relationship issues, life choices....all the things I'd looked to the medicine to help with... My life has never been the same since. You shouldn't overlook this amazing combo, not everyone out there just want to take your money... Really enjoyed this video. Very valuable info!
@@laurentcambon that was part of a larger picture. Mushrooms gave me just as much to process, just in a different way. Aya was 'better', only because of the support and length of journey (4 nights) where as mushrooms, I was alone. Both showed me where to look... sometimes with a direct dialogue with something divine... Problem was, what do you do with the enormity of the revealations, when no one else knows your life, the process your going through, or what you were shown! Hypnotherapy took me back over my life, very precise, and re wired my brain. Both were vital to my solving my issues in the end. Both lead to a deeper understanding...but only hypnotherapy stopped the profound depression...4 years clear now...
@@laurentcambon too personal and too specific, I'm afraid... But these medicines are definitely magical...and have a knack of showing you exactly what you need to see! I would define it as a religious experience..
Be your consciousness while on a psychedelic journey, it’s a the game changer. Here is a short video about doing this,. czcams.com/video/nIulqf2nF6Y/video.html What do you think?? Its from the DIY psychedelic guide thefungiant.com/psychedelic-guide/ that guide will be helpful for anyone trying to use psychedelics for healing and growth
Tried Aya about four days ago. Wonderful. Been travelling ever since. Journaled alot but Meditated for the first time since. I appreciate this structure and guidance here. Thanks!
This is awesome! I am also a big believer in that this supportive information/advice should be accessible to anyone who embarks on this journey (and not cost loads of money). Thank you so much for sharing this from your experience! 🙏🏻❤️😊
I found keta a very profound experience and much easier to integrate changes in my life. Things as simple as re-friending certain people, spending more real time with family, start making music again. I had the profound experiences (ancient voice/ancient wisdom) from psychedelics but found it much harder to integrate after those experiences , probably because taking some psychedelics can wipe me out after the experience.
Love the way you think about these topics. My last heavy experience was beautiful and scary and intense and all the things a heavy experience usually is but at the end of it all it left me with a simple message. Quit smoking and eat better. Now, given this message, I must integrate that into my life before I even think about going into another heavy experience lest I become disingenuous to my own experience. It gave me a mission that I must fulfill and going back before the task is done would be silly. Thank you for the video!
This is the 1st video I have ever come across in all the time i watch tv shows or youtube vids, nobody has ever laid out the life lessons that i was blessed to discover at a very young age and still theres struggle. Do keep in mind that over the long time frame ive gotten more steady and constant growth on my spirit & mind and than i was able too do so with the last, the body. Even way before i meet this channel i was always an explorer when it came too inner growth. And like all things that grow, to move up one must never stay in one spot. This vid shows the wisdom you could only achieve with this different perspective. It works
I did it. The one true ego death. death and rebirth. That was the most intense journey of my life. I was yelling and screaming in a good way. Like riding a rocket at the speed of light. Than nothing but pure ocean of extacy. Complete calmness and joy. When I go to sleep now I can almost go there again. Not as Intense bur defiantly something is happening. Like I permitly opened my Pinal. That was the ride of my life. I achieved it with a emesh. when i go to sleep i can almost go there again this is crazy. I feel so alive, I love you my peeps..WOW STAR LOTUS 5MEO yes
I got to tell you. I have been researching this topic and many others regarding the broader topic of psychedelics in general. You Sir, cut straight to the matter and I truly appreciate it. So many videos I’ve watched and they all have led to so many more questions. That doesn’t happen when I watch your content. In fact your content gives answers instead of leaving questions. 🙏 That is all. 😊
I found a Victoria, Canada artist you’ll 100% want to interview. She’s a PHD in anthropology and used 1900 burn that century mycology drawings to build the background tapestry of her large 100hr to make paintings… it’s literally the closest fine art I’ve seen to resemble trip visuals
Again, thank you! from someone who had multiple psychotic episodes post heavy DMT exploration. Such lessons you share are really helpful, I genuinely thank you.
Sometimes you can set an intention and the substances will still show you what you need to see rather than what you want to see. For instance; I wanted to just chill on my b-day and so drank some mush tea. Instead I got a weird fantastical dragon battle situation. I won't go into details but the insight was this; there was someone in my social circles who wasn't what i thought they were and I needed to get them away from me as they were detrimental to my progress. I was shown that in my hopes and naiveté, I'd not made the corrections necessary to keep myself safe. (i used to be too nice to people, and could use a little more of that warrior spirit) I journal everything (not just trips, but dreams, meditations, etc too) and shared the experiences with friends before taking action the following week. Needless to say, I think I've outdone myself. Everything is good and as should be right now as far as I know. I still have plenty to work on, personally, but being able to experience, experiment, and reflect on a real world situation helps me feel like I've leveled up in a way. Another word of advice; Somatic Integration! I'm not a therapist, I'm a creative wellness advocate! If you get stuck finding the words to express the experiences that you have, you can also bring them back to the surface by other means; Dancing, drawing, painting, etc. Doing something physical can bring up those processes and make it easier to give words to. Another word of advice would be to explore various psychotherapy models. Everyone's experience is subjective and exploring different modes and belief systems will help you find your way. Don't forget to take all the notes. Share what you find! Also, does anyone know of channels on here sharing cool trip stories? I want to hear what kind of experiences other people are having. haha
Thank you so much. First time I'm hearing the process so clearly and objectively. It's been years since I've used psychedelics and this helped a lot with reintroducing myself into the experience to use as a tool for growth in challenging times.
Thank you for taking the time to make the video, I enjoy listening to your insights and experiences. I’ve only had one psychedelic experience, it was very insightful and has helped me better understand the power of intention.
To me I see integration as insight, experience from anything in life, psychedelic experiences included, that you have no problem accepting and it has now become something that informs your life whether it is action or attitude or thoughts or focus or direction that your life takes apart from or in concert with your willed intention. There are no doubt other ways that acceptance of experience into one's being begins to contribute or subtract from our experience, as many ways as the infinitude of one's awareness without limit encompasses, I suppose. I think too there is an aspect of something becoming comfortable and familiar. So perhaps on some bizarre and exotic and highly entertaining psychedelic trip, my personal favorite kind, we meet the spectacular green orange and blue laughing mushroom mushroom ladies. We sit down to have a drink and a chat with them and during that chat they say, "We really appreciate you, because you are the only one around here for the last 20,000 years who has appreciated us! These people around here, not only ignore us, they just don't wanna know! You on the other hand, know just what and who we are and you knock at the door and want to be friendly!" So once you come back from mushroom fairy land perhaps something does stick with you from such an experience, perhaps that there are concious entities that make up our environment, and that nature is not much different than human beings, it too appreciates being acknowledged and that it doesn't have to be civilization against fungi or plants or animals or the earth itself and the difference between someone who has had contact with powerful allies such as mushrooms or other psychedelic plants and those who haven't is that we have integrated certain experiences by partaking of the se plants and establishing a relationship with nature directly. This I think is very powerful when it is integrated, ie, when it becomes a part of our world.
@@ferolicious Thank you for doing such an amazing job with this channel, I really enjoy hearing your experiences and perspectives they are also insightful and very helpful and the art and graphics just put all that over the top!
Wow Rob, your straightforward teachings is so appealing! As usual. You’ve got me on the hook again :) Really love how you get to the point without angels, crystals and dream catchers. It’s all about doing what you need to do. Introspection and shadow work resonates profoundly to me. Thanks a lot man for clearing the subject! 🙏❤
I've actually had some reallly healing insights for my life the last few times I've tripped. Done procrastinating and letting the insights fade away. After all the whole purpose of me ever putting myself through these challenging experiences... is to learn to heal myself. ✨️
Love your content, but this one was so incredibly useful to me. I really appreciate how you broke down integration into very easy to understand terms and how to realistically implement action..
Love your cut through the bull. One thing I disagree with. I am generally pretty clear headed in the after glow, and I find that if I don't implement action immediately integration gets harder over time. For me, I feel like the afterglow phase is a time limited window for me to change my habits, so if I leave it a month, I will lose that opportunity
Obviously everyone is different so you can tailor the process to whatever works for you. I know several people who had revelations that they immediately acted upon and regretted afterwards, so I think a bit of caution is generally a good thing.
That makes sense. I'm trying to think of a solution that integrates both considerations. Here is my clearest example. I was really depressed, drinking heavily and destroying all of my critical relationships after my first girlfriend dumped me for about 4 months, then I had my first ever mushroom trip, spent 5 hours walking home after failing to find a rave in the woods and came to the realisation that i was choosing to indulge in misery. I knew that i had been caught on camera stealing jack daniels from waitrose (week prior) so after watching the sun rise, I walked in to tell them that I wanted to pay. I was 17, so they got real confused, as they couldn't, someone was talking about calling the police, then a manager got involved and told me to be on my way. I returned to feeling being miserable, but I had changed my behaviour and I worked my way out of it pretty quickly after that. I'm not sure that I would have turned my life around had I not acted immediately, but I take your point. Im tempted to think that 'should you act on psychedelic induced insight immediately' is just one of those irritating questions that defies generalisation.
Thank you once again, for sharing important information with everyone. Psicadelics are an important tool, but only if we integrate the learnings in our lives, otherwise its just another way to feed our ego.
Amazing information. Wish I had had access to this when I started my psychedelic journey at 18. I took quite a lot of doses ranging from micro to standard/high-ish (e.g. 200ug LSD, 4ish grams of mushrooms, 1 solid dose of DMT, bunch of research chems), all in a variety of sets and settings. I experienced both the sublime and the earth-shattering psychological horror shows that psychedelics have to offer, some of which were just due to pure stupidity on my part. I haven’t done any psychedelics in a few years now, but I’m very happy this information is out there to help other people experimenting with these substances. It could really change a person’s life for the better, so thank you.
This is extraordinairly usefull and well put together. Musta took a lot work Using it to help integrate a powerful 5meo dmt experience right now Thank you brother!
Great video. My opinion is that integration is not something we should consciously strive for, it happens by itself if we give the body and mind enough time to recover after an intense journey.
Giving the body and mind to recover is in itself something that most people have to consciously strive to do. Most people just carry on as if nothing has happened, and then bemoan that their life did not magically re-arrange itself.
@@AdeptusPsychonautica Agreed, I randomly forget the lessons learned from my trips and have to remind myself when if I’m not acting in alignment with my ideals. The main thing I work on is trying to replicate my bodily posture and lack of tension while on psychs.
I once had PTSD from LSD and your video was very grounding, in a community of people who will have the tendency to get lost outside the box. I have been dealing with flashbacks everyday for half a year, and your video really helps a lot for me, more then you could probably realize. 🫂 I have taken a break from psychedelics and I am still trying to figure out what is bogus, and what is worth integrating. I think about that trip everyday still, more then any other kind of thoughts that also float around throughout my day. I often will have problems talking to other psychedelic users online and they tell me they also found "the truth", it is extremely triggering to my PTSD when people say that, and I become too emotionally compromised. So comprised to the point I won't be able to ground myself, or use my logic when they say something that intense from my perspective. You did a good job and actually helped me more then you can know, I don't hear stuff like this enough and need to watch more of your content due to the pragmatic approach here.
Getting lost outside the box is a great way to put it! Taking a break is always a good idea if you have trouble with differing weird woo ideas with useful ones that you can apply in your life.
Seriously, thanks for this awesome content. You just made some structure on these intense experience. It's easy to get lost in illusion and feel like a fool. It's easy to lost the root of the experience. Extracting the best of it and use it correctly. Thank you
There’s a few other CZcamsrs that should take a look at this, it will help many. Love the vid, I also love to integrate subconscious messages into my daily habits, If done properly growth follows.( from my psychedelic experiences)
Wow, sometimes this CZcams algorithm is straight up psychic (or just reading my diary while I sleep). WTF is integration has been on my mind for a few months now! Thank you for making this!!
This is the best day of my life. I truly have found God and its apart of me, resides within me. I've been crying and can't believe what's happening to me right now. The fog has lifted from my brain, I feel this great abundance of love and joy. I just want to hug everyone lol. I have so much to say to my love ones and I don't feel this wall or contract stopping me to do so. I still can't believe I found God and it has glared threw my soul reviving me. This hatred I use to feel is leaving me like ice in hot water. I love you Adeptus Psychonautica💚 if it wasn't for your videos and Minty loves videos and Psychedelic Actualization I'd still be stuck on that track to nowhere. Something is happening to my brain or consciousness. Thoughts are so clear. My emotions are taking over me like freight Train. Things can only get better from this stage on. Thank you brothers🧡👊🙏
I had an experience a few days ago with L. The moments I remember were really special. Towards the end I was more clear headed, I took some insight w me that I can write about for myself. But I can't help but be a little bummed that I hardly remember any of the strongest hrs of it. I guess a big thing I can take in as the integration is the lesson I learned. I started allowing myself to take these tools when I'm already buzzing on alcohol. I think that definitely is why I don't remember much. I forgot that alcohol lowers my strength and my protective shield, my inhibition.. for the longest time I never wanted to mix alcohol w these special journeys.. and I kinda wasted a very powerful experience. "Wasted" gonna write about the last few trips that I've had and haven't done well to integrate. :)
Given that this video has been published one year ago, I have no idea why I had to sift through a hundred useless pieces of cr*p to finally land here. I can confidently say that this is the only one around that actually explains it all clearly. Thank you *so much*.
For me integration is just natural...u trip u experience u think things while tripping then after u take those thoughts and either use or don't use them in your life... Mostly i have nothing to integrate ,and if I do the message is very clear
Quick thought here: I dont think "True" is a good metric of an insight. There are many insights that people have that may not be true, but are very useful. For example: a person's inner guidance says they should do yoga, exercise more, and and eat less junk food. Is it true? Hard to say in any empirical sense. It's completely a subjective insight, but can yield a very useful qualitative difference in the person's life for the better. Another example: a person gets an insight that they deserve to work at a better job. Their self worth is saying they can do better. Is it "True"? Again, completely subjective. But integrating such an insight may be very helpful. I'm sure you get my point. Your emphasis on "TRUE" for insights is a very binary one that filters out a large chunk of the psychedelic experience, which is that it's largely subjective (ie, most of it takes place internally for a person). That being said, your point that there are insights that are obviously nonsense that don't need integrating is totally on point and worth saying (and repeating! :) discernment is an important part of integration.
I clearly stated within the video that the context of the word "true" was that the person believed it to be true, and that it had no bearing on it being objectively true.
@@AdeptusPsychonautica Fair enough. All I'm saying is perhaps theres a better descriptor for what you're saying. People tend to get hung up on "truth" anyways. Food for thought. And bravo for trying to decode this mysterious term for people. It really is so much simpler than it's made out to be.
I've personally, until a very specific mushroom trip, had never had much trouble working through my experiences and integrating what I had seen and experienced. However, after taking a 10g dose of B+, I was so. . . Traumatized? By the experience that I not only haven't been able to process through it, but have stopped taking mushrooms altogether. I appreciate video's like this. I just hope no one has to experience what I did. lol.
I was gonna ask this autumm i was triping , And i decided to go to bathroom Have chill bath , becouse i never did that And as i was looking at my Belly , It looked like , It was shrinig ,And skin just realese tension And the Belly was thinner then never befour , i dont actually remeber what i was thinking , but i wasnt able to decide if only my ego grow up And this was manifesting as seeing my self thinner , or i really loose too much weight , or this all was only halucination Or combination of everithing , Its not something special but i was still wandering if this happend to someone else ?
This was so helpful. I had my first aya ceremony couple of days ago. I go through bouts of energy, feeling like I just want to pause. It feels surreal to be in the world at the moment. These tips were solid. How do I add to your discord account?
How do I integrate meeting an alien on changa last night? 🤔 Love your stuff buddy. I've actually wanted a video on this topic, broken down in a non mystical way, that's also not so vague that it doesn't seem like any info was actually shared.
@@AdeptusPsychonautica the only thing it did was "dance" for me in the self transforming, fractal tentacles, kind of way. Almost like it was showing off how brilliant it could be, wasn't a breakthrough dose so maybe it would have done more if I'd have taken another hit 😉
Integration….hmm it’s the process of getting separated a little bit more from the purest version of time, which feels like you’re not the same person. So now you have this yearning to find yourself to get back into your body which is the reason you tripped in the first place. The best way is to reference a object in nature and then your body with all your senses!
Finally back after catching "that certain virus" 🙂

Thank you so much. First time I'm hearing the process so clearly and objectively. It's been years since I've used psychedelics and this helped a lot with reintroducing myself into the experience to use as a tool for growth in challenging times.
You are appreciated. It’s so great to hear someone with psychedelic experience blast past the woo and say the things that are hard to hear.
Homie's back on fine form. Welcome back dude.
Cheers brother 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to make the video, I enjoy listening to your insights and experiences. I’ve only had one psychedelic experience, it was very insightful and has helped me better understand the power of intention.
You are so welcome!
As someone who struggles with integration I thank you for posting your opinions and tips in this video
🙏
This video has also helped in breaking down the integration process
czcams.com/video/8UkMoW5V3ug/video.html
To me I see integration as insight, experience from anything in life, psychedelic experiences included, that you have no problem accepting and it has now become something that informs your life whether it is action or attitude or thoughts or focus or direction that your life takes apart from or in concert with your willed intention. There are no doubt other ways that acceptance of experience into one's being begins to contribute or subtract from our experience, as many ways as the infinitude of one's awareness without limit encompasses, I suppose. I think too there is an aspect of something becoming comfortable and familiar. So perhaps on some bizarre and exotic and highly entertaining psychedelic trip, my personal favorite kind, we meet the spectacular green orange and blue laughing mushroom mushroom ladies. We sit down to have a drink and a chat with them and during that chat they say, "We really appreciate you, because you are the only one around here for the last 20,000 years who has appreciated us! These people around here, not only ignore us, they just don't wanna know! You on the other hand, know just what and who we are and you knock at the door and want to be friendly!" So once you come back from mushroom fairy land perhaps something does stick with you from such an experience, perhaps that there are concious entities that make up our environment, and that nature is not much different than human beings, it too appreciates being acknowledged and that it doesn't have to be civilization against fungi or plants or animals or the earth itself and the difference between someone who has had contact with powerful allies such as mushrooms or other psychedelic plants and those who haven't is that we have integrated certain experiences by partaking of the se plants and establishing a relationship with nature directly. This I think is very powerful when it is integrated, ie, when it becomes a part of our world.
I appreciate you for taking the time to put this into words, and rather eloquently too! It resonated deeply.
@@ferolicious Thank you for doing such an amazing job with this channel, I really enjoy hearing your experiences and perspectives they are also insightful and very helpful and the art and graphics just put all that over the top!
Glad you are feeling better and back in action!
Me too 🙂
So helpful! I'm a relative newbie to the whole world of psychedelics. It's like you're holding my hand along the way and this is much appreciated!
Wow Rob, your straightforward teachings is so appealing! As usual. You’ve got me on the hook again :) Really love how you get to the point without angels, crystals and dream catchers.
It’s all about doing what you need to do. Introspection and shadow work resonates profoundly to me.
Thanks a lot man for clearing the subject! 🙏❤
I've actually had some reallly healing insights for my life the last few times I've tripped. Done procrastinating and letting the insights fade away. After all the whole purpose of me ever putting myself through these challenging experiences... is to learn to heal myself. ✨️
Exactly! Do the work and get the benefits. Don't do the work and then you shouldn't really be surprised when nothing changes.
He’s racking up some seriously good karma helping people out with this.
Love your content, but this one was so incredibly useful to me. I really appreciate how you broke down integration into very easy to understand terms and how to realistically implement action..
Glad it was helpful!
Love your cut through the bull. One thing I disagree with. I am generally pretty clear headed in the after glow, and I find that if I don't implement action immediately integration gets harder over time. For me, I feel like the afterglow phase is a time limited window for me to change my habits, so if I leave it a month, I will lose that opportunity
Obviously everyone is different so you can tailor the process to whatever works for you. I know several people who had revelations that they immediately acted upon and regretted afterwards, so I think a bit of caution is generally a good thing.
That makes sense. I'm trying to think of a solution that integrates both considerations. Here is my clearest example. I was really depressed, drinking heavily and destroying all of my critical relationships after my first girlfriend dumped me for about 4 months, then I had my first ever mushroom trip, spent 5 hours walking home after failing to find a rave in the woods and came to the realisation that i was choosing to indulge in misery. I knew that i had been caught on camera stealing jack daniels from waitrose (week prior) so after watching the sun rise, I walked in to tell them that I wanted to pay. I was 17, so they got real confused, as they couldn't, someone was talking about calling the police, then a manager got involved and told me to be on my way. I returned to feeling being miserable, but I had changed my behaviour and I worked my way out of it pretty quickly after that. I'm not sure that I would have turned my life around had I not acted immediately, but I take your point. Im tempted to think that 'should you act on psychedelic induced insight immediately' is just one of those irritating questions that defies generalisation.
Thank you once again, for sharing important information with everyone. Psicadelics are an important tool, but only if we integrate the learnings in our lives, otherwise its just another way to feed our ego.
Amazing information. Wish I had had access to this when I started my psychedelic journey at 18. I took quite a lot of doses ranging from micro to standard/high-ish (e.g. 200ug LSD, 4ish grams of mushrooms, 1 solid dose of DMT, bunch of research chems), all in a variety of sets and settings. I experienced both the sublime and the earth-shattering psychological horror shows that psychedelics have to offer, some of which were just due to pure stupidity on my part. I haven’t done any psychedelics in a few years now, but I’m very happy this information is out there to help other people experimenting with these substances. It could really change a person’s life for the better, so thank you.
Thanks Jules, I appreciate the support mate 🙏
@@AdeptusPsychonautica For sure my dude.
Rob, this was immensely helpful information for me after a recent Aya journey. Thank you for the insights!
What a wonderful video! thanks for sharing friend, so much love for you and what you do. Blessings from Tucson, Arizona.
Cheers Mondo 🙏
This is extraordinairly usefull and well put together. Musta took a lot work
Using it to help integrate a powerful 5meo dmt experience right now
Thank you brother!
You are most welcome 🙂
This is so needed, thank you 😘😘😘
finally some 'to the point' video on the subject. Thank you! :)
Glad you liked it 🙂
Great video. My opinion is that integration is not something we should consciously strive for, it happens by itself if we give the body and mind enough time to recover after an intense journey.
Giving the body and mind to recover is in itself something that most people have to consciously strive to do. Most people just carry on as if nothing has happened, and then bemoan that their life did not magically re-arrange itself.
@@AdeptusPsychonautica Agreed, I randomly forget the lessons learned from my trips and have to remind myself when if I’m not acting in alignment with my ideals. The main thing I work on is trying to replicate my bodily posture and lack of tension while on psychs.
Great to see you back Fella!
Great to be back Greg 🙂
I once had PTSD from LSD and your video was very grounding, in a community of people who will have the tendency to get lost outside the box. I have been dealing with flashbacks everyday for half a year, and your video really helps a lot for me, more then you could probably realize. 🫂
I have taken a break from psychedelics and I am still trying to figure out what is bogus, and what is worth integrating. I think about that trip everyday still, more then any other kind of thoughts that also float around throughout my day. I often will have problems talking to other psychedelic users online and they tell me they also found "the truth", it is extremely triggering to my PTSD when people say that, and I become too emotionally compromised. So comprised to the point I won't be able to ground myself, or use my logic when they say something that intense from my perspective. You did a good job and actually helped me more then you can know, I don't hear stuff like this enough and need to watch more of your content due to the pragmatic approach here.
Getting lost outside the box is a great way to put it!
Taking a break is always a good idea if you have trouble with differing weird woo ideas with useful ones that you can apply in your life.
wow! very healthy very clearly, every moment is noticed. This is great!
Seriously, thanks for this awesome content. You just made some structure on these intense experience. It's easy to get lost in illusion and feel like a fool. It's easy to lost the root of the experience. Extracting the best of it and use it correctly. Thank you
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT, BROTHER!
This is the most helpful information I’ve found on integration so far. Thank you!
Pure gold brother! 🍄💚🙏🏼
There’s a few other CZcamsrs that should take a look at this, it will help many. Love the vid, I also love to integrate subconscious messages into my daily habits,
If done properly growth follows.( from my psychedelic experiences)
You nailed it again Rob. Great video
Cheers mate 🙏
All your videos are great but my favorite is about the farthest you've ever gone with ayahuasca. It gave me chills!
Lol. Loved the intro and your personality. Will have to check out the rest of this video. Subbed.
Awesome! Thank you!
this intro...perfect work of divine art 😂😂
Wow, sometimes this CZcams algorithm is straight up psychic (or just reading my diary while I sleep). WTF is integration has been on my mind for a few months now! Thank you for making this!!
Perfect, then my job here is done! 🙂
This is the best day of my life. I truly have found God and its apart of me, resides within me. I've been crying and can't believe what's happening to me right now. The fog has lifted from my brain, I feel this great abundance of love and joy. I just want to hug everyone lol. I have so much to say to my love ones and I don't feel this wall or contract stopping me to do so. I still can't believe I found God and it has glared threw my soul reviving me. This hatred I use to feel is leaving me like ice in hot water. I love you Adeptus Psychonautica💚 if it wasn't for your videos and Minty loves videos and Psychedelic Actualization I'd still be stuck on that track to nowhere. Something is happening to my brain or consciousness. Thoughts are so clear. My emotions are taking over me like freight Train. Things can only get better from this stage on. Thank you brothers🧡👊🙏
Thanks making this video, so informative!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, this is helpful.. I didn’t know the part about taking time before action… also I like how you break it down to be actionable
I can see your personal growth in your channel, from click bait DMT content to actual practical advice for people. Kudos to you brother.
I would disagree that any of my videos are "clickbait DMT content".
@@AdeptusPsychonautica intended endearingly 🙏
I had an experience a few days ago with L. The moments I remember were really special. Towards the end I was more clear headed, I took some insight w me that I can write about for myself. But I can't help but be a little bummed that I hardly remember any of the strongest hrs of it. I guess a big thing I can take in as the integration is the lesson I learned. I started allowing myself to take these tools when I'm already buzzing on alcohol. I think that definitely is why I don't remember much. I forgot that alcohol lowers my strength and my protective shield, my inhibition.. for the longest time I never wanted to mix alcohol w these special journeys.. and I kinda wasted a very powerful experience. "Wasted" gonna write about the last few trips that I've had and haven't done well to integrate. :)
The bloopers are Great I laugh so genuinely out loud 😂 👍
Believe me mate there are plenty more than that 😀
i watched the intro countless times now. The spinning you with the chorus is so fucking hilarious to me XD INTEEEGRAASHONNN
I love this video. You offer so much practical advice. Thank you 🦋
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Thank you so much :)
Given that this video has been published one year ago, I have no idea why I had to sift through a hundred useless pieces of cr*p to finally land here. I can confidently say that this is the only one around that actually explains it all clearly. Thank you *so much*.
For me integration is just natural...u trip u experience u think things while tripping then after u take those thoughts and either use or don't use them in your life...
Mostly i have nothing to integrate ,and if I do the message is very clear
I Absolutely Love You.
Very good points
Great video dude, some very solid advice here!
Thanks, I'm glad you found it useful 🙂
You are helping me alot with so many things.. im joining the discord to receive your counseling
Good ideas, meditation, and balance... sound like some good advice.
Thanks, glad it resonates with you 🙏
i love to do trigonometric substitution and partial fractions during integration.
thank you for sharing this! super helpful
Your videos become better and better 🤩
Thanks Michael!
Your garbage in is garbage out!! So simple but yet so hard to change
Yup, psychological sewage is the phrase that always comes to mind
A very useful video, like always!
Glad you think so!
Excellent content.
Glad you enjoyed it
Quick thought here: I dont think "True" is a good metric of an insight. There are many insights that people have that may not be true, but are very useful. For example: a person's inner guidance says they should do yoga, exercise more, and and eat less junk food. Is it true? Hard to say in any empirical sense. It's completely a subjective insight, but can yield a very useful qualitative difference in the person's life for the better.
Another example: a person gets an insight that they deserve to work at a better job. Their self worth is saying they can do better. Is it "True"? Again, completely subjective. But integrating such an insight may be very helpful.
I'm sure you get my point. Your emphasis on "TRUE" for insights is a very binary one that filters out a large chunk of the psychedelic experience, which is that it's largely subjective (ie, most of it takes place internally for a person).
That being said, your point that there are insights that are obviously nonsense that don't need integrating is totally on point and worth saying (and repeating! :) discernment is an important part of integration.
I clearly stated within the video that the context of the word "true" was that the person believed it to be true, and that it had no bearing on it being objectively true.
@@AdeptusPsychonautica Fair enough. All I'm saying is perhaps theres a better descriptor for what you're saying. People tend to get hung up on "truth" anyways. Food for thought.
And bravo for trying to decode this mysterious term for people. It really is so much simpler than it's made out to be.
My favorite integration technique is u-substitution
Details?
You saved me tonight brother thank you i did ayahuasca last week and today was an all time low
Great, thoughtful video
A+++ video 🌈
Cheers Cozplay 🙏
I've personally, until a very specific mushroom trip, had never had much trouble working through my experiences and integrating what I had seen and experienced. However, after taking a 10g dose of B+, I was so. . . Traumatized? By the experience that I not only haven't been able to process through it, but have stopped taking mushrooms altogether. I appreciate video's like this. I just hope no one has to experience what I did. lol.
Why did you take so much? 10g is a lot
@@femtheogens Honestly? I thought I was more prepared than I really was. I wasn't ready and I paid the price for it.
23:53 ann shulgin has called this "inflation"
Great one
Good stuff
Phenomenal video man
Thank you
4:22 "You and me who are boots on the ground of these experiences."
Me who has never taken a psychedelic substance: 👁 👄 👁
MY CAT IS SATAN LMFAO
Very well explained. I am starting to be able to integrate my own experiences recently. Changing my life
Enjoy the journey mate 🙂🙏
I was gonna ask this autumm i was triping , And i decided to go to bathroom
Have chill bath , becouse i never did that
And as i was looking at my Belly , It looked like , It was shrinig ,And skin just realese tension And the Belly was thinner then never befour , i dont actually remeber what i was thinking , but i wasnt able to decide if only my ego grow up
And this was manifesting as seeing my self thinner , or i really loose too much weight , or this all was only halucination
Or combination of everithing , Its not something special but i was still wandering if this happend to someone else ?
Golden wisdom!
This was so helpful. I had my first aya ceremony couple of days ago. I go through bouts of energy, feeling like I just want to pause. It feels surreal to be in the world at the moment. These tips were solid. How do I add to your discord account?
I can't stop trying to read your shirt.
Just imagine how I feel 🙂
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Even tho I still believe fully that I can become a psychic super human this was extremely informative thank you
I had drug psychosis when younger and feel like one dmt trip made me relive the trauma and realise i was always safe.whats your view
Similar but Just my own psychosis... also was told i am safe and i am love. It must be something we needed to hear and know more than anything else.
Beautiful 🦋🙏🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
I highly reccommend starting the video at 6:50, and watching the rest at 1.75 speed.
Whatever works for you
@@AdeptusPsychonautica
good talk..thx🙃
Thanks!
THANK YOU 🙏
How do I integrate meeting an alien on changa last night? 🤔
Love your stuff buddy. I've actually wanted a video on this topic, broken down in a non mystical way, that's also not so vague that it doesn't seem like any info was actually shared.
Depends on how you feel about the alien 🙂
Thanks Ryan, glad it was helpful for you
@@AdeptusPsychonautica the only thing it did was "dance" for me in the self transforming, fractal tentacles, kind of way. Almost like it was showing off how brilliant it could be, wasn't a breakthrough dose so maybe it would have done more if I'd have taken another hit 😉
Integration….hmm it’s the process of getting separated a little bit more from the purest version of time, which feels like you’re not the same person. So now you have this yearning to find yourself to get back into your body which is the reason you tripped in the first place. The best way is to reference a object in nature and then your body with all your senses!
I like that shirt, is it available any longer?
