  1. So I stumbled upon this interview of rapper KRS-One talking about racism in America, the civil rights movement and hip-hop's role in that fight. But what I didn't expect was such a deep and nuanced take on it without "picking sides." 

    At around 2min 17secs he states:

    "The real freedom movement [in America] has no color on it and if it did it would be revolutionary white people that would be at the front of it"

    And

    "Of course there's people like me in the United States. Black men that are fighting for freedom everyday. Every day we never let up, ever. It's in my blood. I will always stand for the cause of black liberation, no doubt. But I stand for Truth also. I stand for humanity first. The deepest part to being black is being African. The deepest part to being African is being human. The deepest part to being human is being God. The deepest part to being God is being Love. Being intelligence and all of the above, understanding, mercy. All that is God-like. What would you rather be, black or God? Who are you really, African-American or human? I tend to lean toward human myself."

    Thoughts?
     


  2. Hello! 

    I'm planning on doing shrooms properly for the first time on Tuesday with some close friends. I've heard that people lose their appetite on psilocybin, but wanted to ask anyway. Are there any foods/recipes in particular that you recommend? 

    Side note: I'm doing 2-3g depending on how I feel. Was also thinking of following a lemon tek guide to brew it into a tea.


  3. I believe in you, man. What you need to focus on is loving YOURSELF, then good things will come to you when you least expect it. To begin your journey of self-love you should...

    Step 1: Get a job, apply anywhere. This will get you out of your comfort zone, which is the only way you can really get into a new headspace to make changes in your life. You will also meet new people.

    Step 2: Research healthy food recipes, go to the grocery store, buy the ingredients then take time to learn how to cook them. Put your favorite music on in the background to get you more motivated. Healthy food=healthy mind. 

    Step 3: Go jogging. At a nearby park, neighborhood, anywhere. Sweat it all out. This will make you feel good and it's another way to get you out of your comfort zone which will lead to a clearer mind.

    Step 4: Take time out of your day to meditate. Start with 5-10 minutes if you're not used to it, then go up from there. 

    You say you don't have a lot of money, but you can implement all of these steps. As someone else on the thread said, get MILITANT about it. It will pay off. This is just the starting point of your self-love journey. I'm on a journey of self-love myself having just recently (just over a month ago) been dumped by my first ever girlfriend of four years. I'm almost 26 and have only fully acknowledged now that I do not love myself and have depended on another person to provide me with that love for all those years. This is a mistake. How can you expect to love someone properly when you don't even love yourself? This is what lead to my partner breaking up with me. You say you want to be loved by someone, but YOU can give yourself ALL the love you need. It's not an easy journey, but you are perfectly capable of doing it. We all are, no matter how shit our lives seem. And when you love yourself enough to not depend on the validation of another person, that is when a partnership can be the most beautiful thing you will ever experience in life. 

    I believe in you. I believe in you.


  4. @allislove I have to admit that I am a bit confused. A month or so ago I read a thread on here where they were dicussing how when "I" experience "my" pov, the "people" that "I" interact with are not because all that exists in the present is the one pov, but "their" pov will also be experienced, but when it does, "my" pov won't be happening. Their pov and my pov are really the same pov experiencing at a different "time" (I don't know how else to describe it)

    I thought it was secretion from the pineal gland

    Interesting. I was deep in my meditation when it started happening. My whole body felt floaty and I could feel the boundary that seperates my body from the space around me start to fizzle out as if my sensations had no end. I don't really know how to describe it well, but it was like every tingle in my body wasn't confined to my body, it kind of became the room around me..

    Part V: Other People

    This is going to be controversial, but I can assure you it is true. This right now, this instance of consciousness that is reading these words is the only POV in existence. This present moment is all there is. 

    Imagine that you record yourself for a full day playing a bunch of characters. You do 30 impressions and you record them on video.

    You then decide to wipe your memories of making the videos, and decide to watch one movie each day for 30 days, yet you don't know that it was you playing those characters. 

    All other people are unreal, because again, *everything* happened in eternity. Your life is the infinite forking of possibilities in this pool.

    In this case, your life is one of these movies, and once it's over, there is another movie to play.

    You and I are not conscious at the same time, it's an illusion.

    That means that this field that is conscious of these words, is the same field that held Jesus' life, Buddha's life, etc.

    You are walking in some big shoes.

    It is literally the same consciousness.

    This part of your post has triggered a significant shift in my consciousness. Anyone who is reading this: you are all that exists at this very moment. Holy fucking shit. I love you.

    Domains without meaning are beautiful to explore. . . When I was a child, I loved to climb trees. I was super good at it and would spend hours climbing to the tops of tall trees. I would be in the zone climbing the tree and the views at the top were amazing. . . If an adult approached me and asked “Why do you climb trees? What meaning does it give you? What is your purpose in climbing the tree?”. . . I would think them insane. I literally wouldn’t have understood until I was older and got all this conditioned into me.

    Likewise, as an adult I often go into nature and observe. I may become fascinated with how all the different parts of nature interacts with itself to create a whole. I may imagine lots of abstractions. I may be inspired to write a poetry about it. If someone approached me and asked “What is the meaning of you observing nature? What is your purpose in sitting in nature?”, it would seem absurd to me. I understand that these are human constructs, yet it totally misses the point of Beingness. 

    Ahh cool! When I was a child I really enjoyed watching insects go about their lives. To this day I still watch insects go about their lives and even photograph and make videos about them. If someone were to ask me "why I enjoy watching them" I wouldn't know how to reply. It's just beautiful.


  8. @neovox "What isn't so  common is the peaceful bliss that is experienced upon release of form.  The pain the physical body endures leading up to the moment of death is not pleasant obviously,. but the release of consciousness is a divine transfer.   Consciousness time physical bodies is the more difficult.  unlimited consciousness taking up residence in the experience of a limited physical form." 

    But how do you know this?
