For the long term, among the multitude of “ascent” options out there, which one would lead to a life of leisure, pleasure and pinnacles of ecstasy. I want to feel like I am on a MDMA trip all the time. Is it the Kabbalistic ascent to Kether? Or the draconian ascent to Thaumiel? Or a spiritual sadhana of Apsaras or other Hindu gods? Or runic shamanism? Would welcome diverse opinions.

Draconian would seem a path open to pleasure, for example more than the Kabbalistic one BTW in general that’s the theme also of Tantra: “In the other Hindu schools, bhoga (enjoyment) and yoga (liberation) are separated; those enjoying aren’t liberating themselves, and vice versa. In our school, the two things merge together”.
Another point is those of some requirements applying both for a somewhat RHP path and for everyday benefits as much as even a demonic ascent e. g. mind clearing, concentration on a single thought, awareness focused on the body, breath etc.

All “paths of ascent” aim at understanding who you truly are: they are not about getting laid. It’s all about your consciousness and individual self-concept: what do you truly believe about yourself and the world around you? That is what you, as an individual, will tend to experience rather consistently. That about sums up the “secret” to all things including getting laid. However, do not take it so lightly or assume it will be a cakewalk because self-knowledge and a stable shift in beliefs may not be that easy to accomplish.

Good luck, it violates basic laws of the universe like found in hermeticism. Law of rhytm, what comes up must go down, relating to the desire of a constant high. I had the desire for a long time and i think everyone does, yet you cant, your brain chemistry wont allow it either. MDMA, or ecstacy released both dopamine and serototin which are neurotransmitters. These substances have receptors in the brain and body, and overstimulation, like drugs, will lead to desensitised and damaged receptors, which causes you to build more of them, leading to more of the chemical needed for the same effect. It is counter-intuitive, but what you have to do is let go of all your overstimulating habits, which heals and restores the receptors so you will feel better and happier throughout the day, instead of only when doing these habits.

tbqh the RHP (the power of the sun) seems the most loquacious … all those megachurch pastors in scandal after scandal
If you only chase pleasure, you’re gonna have a bad time. Every “unit” of pleasure has a “cost” of a corresponding “unit” of pain. Pleasure and pain are the same. The more you seek one, the more you will find the “other”. If you’re into BDSM, this may be right up your alley.

mdma is the best haha, you wont feel like you’re on an mdma trip all the time, but you can damn near get close to it if you go down into the darkness.
if you know, you know
but then again, all would suffice, but your individuality is key
Constant spiritual bliss can be too much, and can drive people into insanity. EA Koetting described only being able to stand it for barely a month before begging his guru to help him come down, and in the mythology of the Bible, even Christ only lasted three years before willingly walking into his own death trap. It’s something so alien to the human animal we inhabit that it causes pain and fear.

That would be like eating your favourite meal, except that and nothing else, non stop. You are bound to hate it eventually.
