Oeaohoo

Alcohol can make you more in tune with the subconscious, especially for people who are overly intellectual. It helped me heal the wounded lower part of myself.

I don't agree with this as Christianity was the Western equivalent of Buddhism. Nietzsche did argue that the internal logic of Christianity ultimately leads to nihilism, though... In our time, the East seems to be just as nihilistic as the West. Modern China is the living embodiment of the "Reign of Quantity".

Sorry to derail your thread but I wanted to ask: is it dangerous to take 5-MeO alone?

Obviously women.

I have only done mushrooms once, 4g of Tidal Wave + Mazetapec, and I also experienced minimal visual hallucinations. With eyes closed it was very inwardly visual, but not outwardly. Psychedelics generally seem to be like that for me. The only psychedelic that has been strongly visual for me was LSD many years ago...

I'm not saying they've made a conscious or theoretically-driven choice to be nihilistic. In the final phase of nihilistic dissolution of all values, even nihilism as an ideological instrument of subversion disintegrates. It's just an implicit and practical reality in everyday life.

All these problems are downstream of the nihilism of our generation.

I don't think it is surprising: it makes no sense to go through extreme material hardship in war just for the sake of material well-being back home. It only makes sense to die for something which transcends your individuality. "There is a field forever called England" or something like that. In most of Western Europe, only a quarter or less of the population is willing to die for their country. The number increases as one moves closer to Russia, for obvious reasons...

No… And most of the Western world now agrees with me. None of these countries offer anything worth dying for.

Truth is important because it is the nature of reality. If you are not living in accord with the truth, you are living in delusion and fantasy. Also, lies corrode the soul...

Porn is definitely not harmless. It fills your subconscious with garbage, especially over time. It can even attract dark and demonic forces which corrode the soul.

He will become God and live forever!

I think more and more people are aware of this and care about it. The sense that people don’t care is likely a holdover from times when it was more taboo.

It’s not even an experience!

On some level. I suppose any defence one sets up is for one’s own benefit, at least initially, as a way to cope with a situation which would otherwise be unbearable. The trouble is that, like @theleelajoker said, it then becomes an internalised self-narrative which one feels a need to sustain, regardless of whether it is true. In my case, at least in the past, it has proved to be a toxic combination: I reject and chase after all the people I shouldn’t. This is a recipe for bitterness and dissatisfaction. Maybe one day my mentality will catch up with my biology! In the meantime, these are the riches of the poor…
