I did think banning him was a bit much. Sometimes people here can bait you into giving overly emotional responses.

It’s more like the outside world is a projection of your inside world. So there is no objective outside world. Only what you perceive.

Nah, I’m good. But thank you karma police.

Not really. I have heard that you can walk around on it like Shrooms, but you can do that on regular DMT as well. People just seem hype up 5 Meo even though from what I have read it doesn’t not seem to be that different than DMT.

It sounds as though you have some self love issues. There is nothing wrong with desiring a relationship. But you are doing it believing it will fix your feelings of lack and emptiness. All it is going to do is put a mask of it. You may not be in the relationship that you desire, but maybe you are not in the relationship that you desire...with yourself. What you truly desire is lasting happiness. Relationships don’t give you that.

That’s what she said.

Not really lmao. Love is not even the right word for it. From my experience is a profound sense of connection to and acceptance of what is.

@Quantum Toad Clearly you have not candy flipped.

1: 5 meo dmt (still can’t find a way to get this, but it’s just a dmt trip that lasts longer) 2: DMT (mind blowing) 3: Shrooms (I put this above LSD as on LSD I remain social. On shrooms I am controlled by the voice) 4: Candyflipping (LSD and MDMA, amazing combo, you will know what unconditional love is). 5: LSD

@r0ckyreed haters are going to hate. Teal’s advice has changed my life for the better. It’s not her fault that people think that she is a savior only to be disappointed that she’s still only human.

Why did you bring Teal into this? I’m not into taking vaccines myself. While wearing a mask does suck, we don’t have much of a choice anyway.

@Matt23 That’s a good idea. I’ll give that a go tonight. Thanks.

So I live in North Hollywood California. Los Angeles County has been hit the hardest regarding Covid restrictions. The nightlife is dead, no gyms, no movie theatres, no eating inside. Can’t even go inside a bookstore. “Day game” does not exist here. My dating life has a result has been dead outside of one date with this woman from the past that forced me to go into a dark night of the soul. A lot of people seem to be leaving as well. That being said, I am considering moving myself. Basically, I am looking to reinvent myself and there appears to be a need to change environments. A few cities came into mind, New York City really stuck out. I am from the east coast and have been to NYC on a few occasions and loved it. I am an artist (musician, writer, actor and filmmaker) so NYC has a scene that rivals L.A, especially with music and moreso for novel writing. The only thing is that with restrictions Broadway is not planning to reopen until May 30th. So the opportunity to go and act in plays will be gone for a while. Though, my agent out in L.A says that they can submit for me in NYC. I can also get representation in the city too. Basics become bicoastal. Another con though is that there is very little nature in the city outside of Central Park. This year I have already gone to Yosemite, The Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree and Big Bear Lake and plan to visit a few more national parks before the year is out. Then I thought of Santa Monica. I lived there when I first moved to L.A and loved it. The third street promenade is always busy enough and when I was into pick up used to game there. The Santa Monica mountains are right there, there is a meditation center in Malibu, I could join a surfing Meetup as well. The only thing is that from what I have heard it is actually easier to make friends and for a single guy, date in New York. Apparently people are more loyal there and less flaky. I believe this has to do with people being out on foot constantly versus in cars and there being less to do. In L.A, while it is a good town to hook up in, that is mainly because of the nightlife. Most people here are fake (not just aesthetically either) and while they make good drinking buddies, will never be there for you. None of my past grieved out here have ever been there for me when I actually needed them. While I have have dated some good looking women out here, I have been flaked one by way more. There is so many distractions out here that women will go with whatever is shinier. Basically my superego desires to go to snack to Santa Monica and dive deeper into spirituality. However, as a 28 year old my id desires to end my twenties on a bang and have a lot of crazy sex. Is that a desire that I should follow? What do you guys think? I am already looking at apartments in both cities, going to put feelers out there for employers.

Man, you guys are so boring.

It feels like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. Whenever I get too caught up in the illusion I remember who I really am and feel good again.

@aurum For real. And I have found that a lot of it is not in Hollywood. It’s interesting how Hollywood has brainwashed the world thinking that it has the best art (as someone who works in Hollywood I will say that there are some very talented people out here and when allowed can create some great art), but in reality there is so many other countries that offer art that have a deeper insight into human nature. I have seen Ponyo. That is an amazing film. Loved it. Miyazaki is a true genius. He is always able to weave spirituality and environmentalism into his films so well without coming off as preachy. Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke are my favorites. The anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion looking back (made by Miyazaki’s protege) was my first real introduction to non duality. I remember feeling mindfucked after watching it.

I just finished reading the Seinen (adult) manga Goodnight PunPun. Perfect example of not judging a book by it’s cover. For people looking for “high consciousness” art this is it. The creator really dives in and creates a piece about mental illness, your shadow, how your ego can ruin your life with its self deceptions, how your childhood affects your adult life, and how your childhood shapes your life. Also has one of the best depictions of an abusive relationship in fiction. Did not expect any of that going in. It’s a big long, but it is worth a read. Taught me one thing that I already knew deep down: there is no such thing as a nice person. Also one of the few works on art that got me thinking about my life and what I can do the get out of certain situations . What else is out there that truly exploited the ego.

I used to like Jordan Peterson. But he is all style no substance. Great for people who are in stage orange.

This is too damn funny.

If you guys and gals are into Seinen, read Goodnight Punpun. Just finished it and it is a great work of the art. An interesting take on the ego and how it ruins your life. P.S, do not judge that manga by its cover or first few chapters.

@Hawkins I believe that you have an inferiority complex. You are also far too self conscious. The only way to solve that is by some deep self love.

I used to. Got tired of it. Too much pointless arguments.

You are lonely because you are in a stage of lack rather than a state of being. Basically, you need to become more present.
