P115 and mind machine software...

Testing pheromones against a non-traditional standard is unusual yet it has its’ advantages. I’m using Transparent’s high end mind workstation that allows me to cook up complex tones, binaural beats, pulses and so on. Is is more like a pro sound tool than your standard old school mind software…

It’s also a great way to “bench test” pheromones because you can give yourself a standard squirt, run the program, and return an immediate response…

Good, i.e. effective pheromones seem to give a better quality of brain lock-on, where less effective ones have a muddier, less pronounced effect…

Having received my small shipment of putatives to test, I immediately applied 100 mu of P115 and sat down to a 30 minute brain bake w/ the workstation, filled with ramps between low theta to high alpha and back…

The visual metaphor might be a Zen master opening up his Harley on a straightaway through Nevada into California…

Right off the bat, where P114 was a four star pherodelic, P115 is distinctly subtler, although it hasn’t been tested in social space yet. There’s nothing particularly engaging or specific about it other than a mild and slightly warm buzz like my skin circulation is increasing. It seems like it might trigger a blushing response, as there is a light feeling of heating up under my T shirt, a 2 0z shot of scotch thermal sensation. I’m not picking up on any emotional shifts, it feels purely phisiologic, no profound thoughts, not flights of fancy.

A friend who was trying to quit smoking called up for emotional support. I found myself being very dry and objective with her, not dissociated or reptilian a la P87… just very to the point… if anything this has a "manager’ vibe to it, I don’t feel swayed like I usually might be, thus my first crack intuition is that it might be an excellent workplace, cut the crap, stick to the facts type of juice w/o the aggression or Mister Man power 'tude of P79-P80… mentally I feel like I gargled with zinc chloride mouthwash, leaves an almost puckery clean dry feeling…

Erotic Points: 0
Aggression Points: 0
Empathy Points: 1
Objectivity Points:5

Don’t use for : social activities, barhopping, chatting up girls

Do use for: dealing with flakes, meetings you want to get to the point, negotiating on the buyers side (prob. will reduce sneaky appeals to your emotions)

Wow, great report!
Does the mind workstation measure bio feedback in way or is it purely for creating the sound?

On a related note, has anyone tried a scientific method of measuring mone’s effect? I mean scientific in the sense that it’s not based on the interpretation of our own conscious experience - instead the measure is based on some objective instrument (i.e. like a bio-feedback machine, measuring skin conductance level’s etc..).

Tacitus - I always enjoy your reports as you normally are able to provide a bounty of information in a very direct and accessible way. Thank you much for this report. I can definitely see from your experience how it could be useful in a work type environment as well as dealing w/ people like you’ve mentioned.

Cheers!

Took it to the street, so to say. Stopped of at Starbucks on my way to buy a new calculator. Starbucks makes their baristas run a sell routine on me, either Via instant or a Starbucks card or whatever. It’s a script they’re forced to do even though I’m in there 5 times a day. P115 seemed to put me in active tune-out mode while I was joshing with them… I wasn’t pissy-negative like the -none class would make me, and I wasn’t exististentially down in an avoidance hole, it was possible to play with it while being totally unaffected… absolutely indifferent w/o the emotional alienation… so I got to the store and was looking at a rack full of calculators, quickly singled out the right one, paid and got out of there, was thinking, yep, this is THE -mone to use when shopping for a calculator, “just the facts, m’am”… got back to the office, I’m unusually sweaty and not to crazy about the neroli… however there is something kind of footy like a well worn sock going on under the neroli so maybe that’s it… if you wore this to a bar in high dose strength the room would be talking about the long term impact of the national debt and the relative merits of aluminum alloys…

Last observation of the day… needed to take a nap, recovering at the residual end of the flu… maybe this was the combination of the mind machines software and the P115… my thought field was unusually fine grained, unlike my normal blank mind field which is more like a faint lava lamp of shapeless phosphorescent blobs… as the P115 ramped down to single digit mu ranges there was a mild erotic something or other… I found thinking about sexy women in my building a little bit clearer than normal and the foot-sock smell tapered off to more of a skin note… this far into it I’m placing this one in the modified-male zone, realism vs. romanticism, figure vs. ground, object vs. subject… it isn’t at all self conscious as I find some -mones DO dial up the self-consciousness knob (feeling like you are on stage or on camera) a few clicks, nor is it particularly self-aware, no questioning of my motivations or wondering how I’m being perceived… nor does it insist that I focus in one direction or another (meo-est sometimes gives me this compuslive feeling that I ought to straighten up the room, clean out the sink, fold something… housewife stuff… neaten up the burrow)… OTOH there’s precious little action hero going on either… very linear… as another recent post was discussing Robert Mitchum… sort of that… you could take it or leave it… might be effective for those who are concerned that they present themselves as too needy or dependent on the opinions of others… when I was 17 it would have been just the ticket…

One final note for the day, decided to retest P115 @ 100 mu sprayed on the back of my t-shirt to lessen self effects… went to gym… noticed a VERY excellent hang out/shoot the breeze male oriented guy talk with other males there… seemed to put us on a high rapport male wavelength… not competitive or sweaty dude like… no authoritarian invisibility… but quite comfortable even keel conversation. I’m thinking that my initial effect may have been OD combined w/ mind machine… seems to have a smooth, sort of focused, at ease quality at lower doses, almost like a pure form of A314 at the intentional level, w/o the “commanding” aspects… might be a good ingredient for a version of A314… might also have good team building aspects… I’m beginning to rather like this stuff… could be a hidden gem

very interesting indeed. when i wear it, i do notice the warming up effect as well. aside from that , i notice an increased heartrate, and sweaty palms. its like a nevous/anxious mone for me. i never wear more than 15-20 mcg at a time. i havent noticed any social effects. two other people however, have told me they felt nauseous while i was wearing 115. i dont ‘feel’ nervous, but i do get the feelings/body effect of someone who is. more testing is needed. keep posting!
