@SwiftQuill Solid advice and thanks for that. I do think that it’s ok to appease and help people, so long as it doesn’t affect me adversely. And there is a place where I draw a line and the attitude of “fuck it, I’m not going to stand for this” takes over. But…. If that doesn’t work, I risk my livelihood. It’s the taking advantage of this disposition that causes problems. I know this is just how the world works, but it doesn’t make it right. I think this is the worlds biggest scam, not work, but the shit you have to go through to earn a living.

@SwiftQuill I share a lot of that sentiment. It’s BS! But I’ve felt this way for a while and I’m tired of venting about it, I need a solution. I started a cleaning company in hopes that this would replace my 9-5 income but it’s also a bit difficult to find reliable cleaners that don’t flake. Even here, I pay a good wage and they still flake and ghost me. I know there is a way out of this rat race where I don’t need to be a shitty person towards people. Back to the drawing board perhaps. Just tired of this 9-5 culture.

At almost every employer I’ve worked at, the people/ coworkers I’ve worked with have progressively become hostile. I consider myself easy to work with and a hard worker. Sure, I’m a bit quiet at times but I’m never rude towards my coworkers and I make a strong effort to be easy to work with. This seems to backfire. Is this the nature of 9-5 work. I really dislike this about my reality.

@Rafael Thundercat I see, must be where I’m coming from.

@Lila9 The real life consequences you mentioned might only pertain here until you wake from here and then it’s not so real anymore, much like a dream.

@Letho I’m not convinced that it is. We can both agree that actions have implications and consequences, but that’s just the rules or functionality of this reality, not proof that it’s real. If real is a word that eludes to a subjective comparison, what is that which is absolute? The thing that is irreducible. This is what I’m referring to when I say reality isn’t real. What is it based in?

@Leo Gura I see now, thank you.

@Leo Gura When you say MIND, what do you mean? I’m not sure why a MIND needs consistency to create a universe. To trick the ego perhaps?

@Leo Gura why is this reality so persistent? when I dream at night, it’s very different every time, but when I wake, I’m back to the same physical reality.

Why does physical reality feel so real if it’s not. Why is there a reaffirming thought that it is? Why do we wake up each morning placed in the same reality from the day prior? Same with the nature of others. When I see people out in public, they are always going about their day with no regard to what I’m thinking or experiencing. To me, it looks like they have meaningful lives that they are experiencing and living - am I wrong to think that?

Ta-da.

@Leo Gura Migrating over to YT…Thanks!

@Holykael nowhere or Now-here? If this is all a dream, are you saying I have no control over it at all, much like night dreams, with the exception of lucid dreaming?

If consciousness is all there is, and I am that, what aspect of Me is controlling the experience I have? a side question to that, can consciousness be manipulated for a specific experience?

@OBEler I’m getting it from a company called mind bloom. I believe that taken orally, it’s typically between 100mg-500mg depending on body weight. they only offer orally dissolvers, that you end up spitting out after 7minutes. not 100% sure which type of ketamine it is though.
