  2. Here's my logical step by step approach to these sort of worries: Be aware - educate yourself, how dangerous is it? Is it something you can control? - no then you have no choice right now, forget it and carry on. Are you willing to take action on it? - no, then it probably isn't worrying you enough, forget it and carry on. Take action. In short, worry about what's worth worrying about. Here's an example: Talcum powder may contain asbestos, which is bad for my health with long term use. Yes I can control it, I can stop using it. Talcum powder has benefits to me, in terms of comfort, but stopping using it would be a minor inconvenience. Maybe the negatives outweigh the positives. Ok, I'll stop using it.
  3. I think It's not a good idea because the word "God" evokes a creator. In the absence of limits, there can be no creator; there is only flow. A creator would be an absolute limit. The idea is dissolving the limits, not creating them. Without limits there is no center, not agency, just reality. Then you could say what I am is the reality.
  4. Sunday: March 1st, 2026. Smiling in dark-pitch black despair is distinct from feeling hope.
  5. 2 Months of Living Together It’s been two months since we have been living together and I think that most of the adjustment stuff has been dealt with. We’re both more understanding of what annoys one another and we have found ways around it and/or have discussed it. I’m still dealing with how this living situation is causing me to re-evaluate my life and how it still feels really emotionally vulnerable. I still feel weird about this man having front row seats to my neurotic thoughts and tendencies. I think I have been contemplating on what it means to build a life with someone. I feel like the difference between having a roommate vs living with a significant other is how intertwined you are with each other’s habits and how that can sometimes rub off on each other. While with a roommate you are sharing a space and as a result some chores, you’re still living separate lives. I feel like with a significant other, you’re much more entangled with their schedule and their tendencies in addition to sharing a space with them. I feel like this entanglement is manifesting in a good way. He eats more vegetables and gets more exercise and I have a more consistent sleep schedule and am drinking more water. We’re still figuring out finances at this time. For now, we’re just each paying half the rent and whoever gets around to doing the groceries pays and trusting that it evens out. I’m paying for the internet in it’s entirety since I just had to move over my service from one unit to another and since it’s under my name. We decided that we are going to continue this way to see what we’re working with as far as numbers go for 3 months and then we can work out the details to make this more equitable. As far as family stuff goes, we each go back to our parents’ place about every other weekend. We don’t coordinate that much when it comes to this. I go home when I feel like it and he does the same since we’re both comfortable being by ourselves and neither of us wants to put restrictions on seeing family.
  6. Sunday: March 1st, 2026. Emerging victorious through sheer willpower is distinct from doubting oneself.

  10. Take Epistemic Responsibility for all the Mind Games that you play with Yourself.
  11. It would be funny if you just go to a party and say you are God, if you do it with a wink and a smile, it might actually work. If you do it seriously, in the worst case they will call a shrink to tie you up and take you with them. And that is exactly where you belong. I'm just being frank here. That is what people will do to you. And I'm not here to hurt your little feelings. Just stating what will happen if you have some integrity and stand up what you believe in your little DMT dungeons.
  12. Just had a cool idea, what if you artificially created a world with artificial rules which make life harder, like the built ground can only be soft, you can only communicate via writing etc. The point is in these artificial environements new inventions to make life easier will come up and they could possibly even be applied to real life, because in real life there was never the necessity to invent some of these things.
  13. i'm sorry you had to go through that. you can keep trying with the psychedelics, although i don't have much input in that regard. what i would suggest though is that you can definitely supplement a psychedelic routine with a number of daily habits that can help you connect with yourself. journalling comes to mind....it might make you aware of some of the things that you didn't even think were there. if you feel a lot of tension in your body, you might not know that there are ways to down-regulate this tension that will then help you access the underlying emotions. these are gonna be more of the uncomfortable ones (guilt, shame, fear, hatred, anger, despair, hopelessness, grief...) but accessing them temporarily - knowing that they can't kill you and they will pass - can open the door to other emotions (joy, desire, excitement, happiness, gratitude, hope, love, ....) as well. speaking of which, i wouldn't necessarily give up on therapy entirely, especially if you can afford it/insurance can cover it for you. sometimes it simply takes looking into a different approach or finding the right practicioner. if you have ptsd as a result of the abuse, have you ever looked into dbt?
  14. Today
  15. @Oppositionless your look good bro
  16. @paradiseengineering Thats what happened to me. Remember the mind doesn’t register the word “no” or any negation. When you try to stop thinking on weed or to stop using it or you try to think on forgetting weed, you are still thinking on weed in a negative way. So weed stays in your mind. Then you fight yourself and bla bla… weed is still in your mind. All you have to do is not buy more weed. And slowly you will forget about it but not buy trying to stop it or not to think on it, but because the karma will wear off by itself by not giving thought to it. Right now you think is hard because you recently did it or have not been able to quit and you are like omg I’m addicted, no. You are spinning in a loop you have not gone out because your anxiety of fighting it still gives life to it so it seems like it will not stop. It’s an illusion that only goes away by not giving any type of energy to it, neither positive or negative. And as I said. Get busy by the moment. If you don’t have a vision or mission right now, entertain yourself with many other things. That will replace the old weed thought pattern. And after some time you will be like hell, what was the relevance of that weed anyways… control and self belief will be back. After a month you will see how good sobriety feels again, there you will have choice to think clearly and see things correctly to choose weed consciously or not.
  17. Capitalists don't care about the future
  18. Every day I read that water what people drink in my city is poison, toothbrushes are poison, foods are poison, pants are poison for hormones. And so on and on. It's very overwhelming. Money seems only solution from these traps. Or maybe it's not that important??
  19. Ah okay I think I get it. Thanks for elaborating. I assume with "they" you mean emptiness and authenticity? Can you please define what you mean when you say "absolute" and "god" and how your definitions are seperate from emptiness. Currently my definitions are: The absolute is the set of all possible ideas (spirit fragments) and therefore fragments and therefore existences plus emptiness The Spirit is the Fragment which is the set of fragments that actually managed to come into existence in this universe. I described how that happend in a recent post. Emptiness is non-spirit. My current definition of God is: The Fragment + emptiness If you mean emptiness when you talk about the absolute, can you differentiate it from asceticism?
