And then if we look deeper - what is actually behind the matter of the body? From molecules, to atoms, to electrons, to quarks - what is really at the base? Anything at all? No-thing at all. Emptiness... Awareness/consciousness anchoring physical reality together as the only thing that persists. A physical life begins and ends. Emptiness unfolding with nothing but awareness present to witness the endless physical morphing we call 'growth'. Consciousness present. As always. You bastard Carl, unleashing mind-worms 🖤

Well, I sweat a lot. Exercise. Eat whole foods (plants, eggs, some fish and a bit of cheese, nothing else. Shitloads of vegetables and fruit mainly). Am active and have no hypertension or salt-sensitivity. So salt as a source of sodium is great for me. Regulates my fluids and blood pressure, helps muscle contraction (esp heart) and moves nerves. Balance and moderation. I know enough and have experimented enough with my unique physiology to know what is an addiction and what is an adaptation. This doesn't put you in any position of authority in my eyes. That is just your unique physiology. Hell, you could be massively salt sensitive.

Imagine Leo on the couch on Oprah's show... I am suppressing my gag reflex *spits*

That might be the case only in your worldview.

The full moon illuminates the road on a dark night. It lights the way. But it is a total illusion that the moon shines light as a source. It merely reflects the rays from the sun, while the sun is on the other side of the globe. The truth is to see through the illusion. The paradox is, something so real, can be so unreal. Seeing through the illusion doesn’t negate the usefulness of the appearance, it merely acts to clarify it. Illusions aren't errors, they are more like interfaces, but problems can arise when you mistake the interface for the source. We do not stand still and not walk the road because the light is reflected. The wisdom is to walk the road, knowing where the light comes from.

Clavicular is a feral little insecure brat who arose from incel/4chan degeneracy. There is so much cognitive bias in his thinking I don't even know where to begin. He is black pilled to shit, even if he thinks he 'takes the real from the black pill, and not all of it'. He just capitalises on the memes running from those degenerate circles; chad, mog, foid, moid, htn, ltn, mtn, htb all that crap. He is a child who thinks it is cool to do meth and pump test. The guy purposely ran someone over in his cybertruck and then asked 'Is he dead?' This whole looksmaxxing shit is cope. He is a misogynist. And the irony is, women have been 'looksmaxxing' and under this sort of pressure... forever lol. He acts like it is some revolutionary new thing.

What are you trying to express here?

Already a thread on this:

@Ramasta9 I still do not see what is so bad about adding small amounts of salt to foods. Unless I misunderstand you. What is wrong with enhancing the flavour of food, so long as it remains a healthy source of nutrients to maintain body homeostasis? I am not a huge foodie, but I take great pleasure in a lovely meal. Salt is the only thing I ever add. I find it much more satiating than anything else like sugar etc I can still taste the salt in natural foods, no problem. In fact, I think the recommended amounts of salt are a little low for healthy people according to guidelines. Especially those who regularly exercise.

I think this topic verges on transhumanism a lot. Eugenics also. Possibly very catalytic.

Salt isn't so bad. I need it after sprints and mountain biking. It was coveted for a reason historically. It also aids in food preservation. I do not do well if I remove it.

Have mercy on that delicate unprepared audience 💀 Maybe reserve that for when one of the mods brainfarts 🥹

Hmmmm. Internet is difficult. Text. Online. It gives people time to craft what they want to say, how they want to come across. It can control how we are perceived. Thus, reducing an accurate read. So I find face to face is the only way to truly be able to gauge where someone is at, if I have any hope to be able to at all. On the flip side - text and the formats in online spaces can let us express things we otherwise cannot face to face. There is something special to be said for the sort of stream-of-consciousness style crafting a reply can do for both parties. A pause. A reflection uninterrupted.

100% Which is why, in all endeavours, I personally attempt to meet people where they are at. Business, the forum, family, friends, career. All social domains. It does require aptitude reading people. Intuition. Wisdom. Experience.

Self nerfing to get down to normie level

In my experience, using force never works with beliefs. Ever.

My GOD. I just googled 'Leo Gura' and selected images (work PC so no duckduckgo before you lance me), only to be presented with these mutant abominations: https://pthibault7823.artstation.com/projects/oOL45J https://zenpalart.artstation.com/projects/4bZ3Xq "The following is a head I've sculpted, retopologized, textured, and am about to rig for animation. My aim is to replicate an animation of Leo Gura's facial expression when he became enlightened after an experience with 5MEO DMT"

I think we already eat them - isn't additive E120 made of insects? Red dye in foods

Cut me deep

It would be funny if the whole experience wasn't also associated with this feeling 'This is it, I am stuck like this. It is over now, I am locked in and no one will know I am conscious as a wooden tree/table. There is no escape and I cannot go back' Maybe I'm just a pussy and some chad is able to avoid a serious mogging from the drug. But it makes me feel a bit better it skullfucks other people too...

I wonder if that is a common thing with salvia - this perceiving one is 'turning into' something else.

For me it felt forceful in an unpleasant way - I was sitting at a wooden table and the legs grew up into me. I was literally turning into the wooden table and unable to move, it seemed like my body was being eaten/turned into wood and bark. I opened my mouth to try to ask for help and weeds and soil started dribbling all down my front. Arms started to dissolve into sap and then stuck rigid like amber... 0/10 do not recommend. I am normally really good at surrendering / letting go - but this felt like a surgical removal of my sanity to be replaced with fucking tree sap and timber....

This is the thought that prompted the question. I really enjoyed the Curt Jaimungal 2 part you did a while back. Too bad about the uncanny valley AI thumbnail he has up now

Excellent. I am glad to hear this. Do you have trepidation you will be misrepresented? I suppose at the end of the day, there is an element of surrender 'what will be, will be' and you can only do your best. There would be a fine line to walk, I imagine. Risk/reward. Need to keep expanding, but a risk engaging with another brands platform.

For me 10. I couldn't deal with that amount of self/form dissolution/merging in my visual field.
