Into Sobriety
Psychedelics can instantly annihilate the self, allowing us to see the world as it is, without the mind applying filters based on our cravings and aversions. They can put us into a state of absolute stillness - oneness with everything. This page is about how to attain such states through ordinary sobriety.
You yourselves must strive; the Psychedelic only points the way
Along the path, you have tools to help you. These aren't dogmatic; rather, they're there simply to make it easier to walk the path.
Sīla
Wholesome Conduct
- Speak honestly and kindly
- Don't harm, steal, or betray
- Earn your living without hurting others
- Put an end to degeneracy and sexual misconduct
Samādhi
Mental Discipline
- Bless yourself by positive thoughts > drop negativity.
- Be present within each task, ask "Am I okay?"
- Practice Meditation, it's the tool to see clearly.
Paññā
Wisdom
- Use gathered Samādhi to understand suffering EXPERIENTIALLY
- A teacher, sage, or saint's truth is NOT your truth
- Start noticing IMPERMANENCE within everything
- Meditate with intense focus to see through delusions.
Two techniques, one path
The order matters - one sharpens your mind, one utilizes the sharp focus to purify the mind then dissolve it
01
Ānāpāna
awareness of breath
Sit. Observe the natural breath AS IT IS - no counting, no shaping, no mantra, no visualization. When the mind wanders (it will, constantly), notice OBJECTIVELY, and return. That is the entire instruction, and it is harder than any trip. Start with ten quiet minutes, morning and evening. The point is not bliss; the point is to SLOWLY annihilate your craving and aversion towards your thoughts, and sensations. It's like a workout
02
Vipassana
insight through sensation
With attention sharpened by Ānāpāna, you move through the body observing sensation - pleasant, unpleasant, subtle, gross - without chasing anything or pushing anything away. Equanimity with impermanence, felt directly rather than believed. Psychonauts tend to recognize this territory immediately: it is the same surrender the medicine asked of you, practiced one breath at a time instead of all at once.
The Vipassana ten-day course
Vipassana in the tradition of S.N. Goenka is taught in ten-day silent residential courses - It would be irresponsible of us to tell you how to do Vipassana in a short paragraph. It's appropriate to have a guided teaching. If a journey opened something real in you, this is the wisest next place we know of to take it.
- Ten days in noble silence - no phones, no reading, no writing. Just you and the technique.
- Completely free of charge - courses run on donations from previous students. Food, lodging, and instruction cost you nothing.
- The first three days are pure Ānāpāna. Vipassana itself is taught on day four.
- Sīla is observed for the duration - the five precepts, including no intoxicants of any kind.
- Centers on every continent - including Dhamma Surabhi in Merritt, BC, a few hours from where your orders ship.
Yes - we sell psychedelics, and we are pointing you toward ten days of total sobriety. The molecule shows you the view from the summit; practice is learning to climb. What is the point of psychedelics if you are just going to continue living in ignorance?
The Vipassana organization is not affiliated with HG and does not endorse psychedelics - or us. Go as a student.
