Love this - many traps around the methods that open our eyes. Also reminds me of advice from S N Goenka - "let your practice match your theory" Knowing it is worthless if you ain't using it.
Regarding #3 - wouldn’t you say this moment in history is actually an outlier and we quite literally might be at the end of time because of our technological capacity for omnicide in the relative near term.
« Good luck and happy travels! » How did you know I was traveling next week, Jamie? Or did I just fall, astonished, into the ontological mistake of thinking the message speaks to Me in my Right Now context? :)
Hello Jamie, great article! It's refreshing to read this again after finishing stealing fire a couple of months ago.
I really would like to read/ hear your further explanation about thing you said in one of your interviews, I believe it was with Rebel Wisdom that I can't get out of my head. It was about Ken Wilber's version model of spiral dynamics and that it's good to know it but you should be able to forget all that afterwards, could you please elaborate on that at some point? Thanks
Great perspective and guidelines. Thank you. Curious how these rules can apply to things beyond non-ordinary states to foster both rational and creative thought and action for doing good in the world.

X risk stuff
OH Man. Precise instructions for walking the razor's edge. So good. Thank you Jamie.
Jerusalem Syndrome! Did not know. Reminds me of the “Glastonbury Hangover” phenomenon (unrelated to the festival).
Yes yes yes yes yes. All enormously important.
If you get through this and believe you have avoided everything perfectly you may actually be far worsely situated in reality.
Not you though (reader) you are definitely fine 😉
