Thank you for putting in the work.

@Schizophonia Its emotional territory for him. He said he wasnt ready to talk about what happened to him maybe a year or so ago and only recently revealed big parts of the story.

No I meant to quote the thread. Here he said it.

Said and done. Into a body doubling session now. Maybe I was just stalling in the face of progress. My old club also moved me emotionally so much so I guess there is a lot of processing going on as well.

Yeah it always left a bit of an aftertaste in me, the worlds richest men creating simple homes for the rest. But it honestly does give people a lot of freedom back. Its not luxury but everything a person needs.

Okay yeah thats true, science doesnt show evidence there. But for Leo it may be different because of the other health problems he has. He said that his health probems combined with heavy psychedelic use caused brain damage. Its possible that Leo confuses these things. He didnt say how he came to the conclusion that he has brain damage, if he literally got a brain scan from the doctor for example that would be hard evidence. I just think its unlikely that Leo would make such a simple error in judgement even with his brain maybe being his most emotional territory.

Today is kind of the day to get a lot of things done, so I overslept and got into Youtube addiction again. Put my blocker on youtube again and hopefully doing body doubling sessions next.

He wrote himself that he had brain damage, thats not something you say for no good reason WTF . ... I had this bias for psychedelics, that I desperately needed them to be healthy because they made my life worthwhile, experiencing god at some point etc. so in one discussion I just couldnt digest the truth that they may also cause some brain damage.. But its all a balance, psychedelics also increase your intelligence in other ways. When you trip once or twice a month on a moderate dose, give yourself time to integrate and recover then you will probably get most of the goods with relatively little bad stuff.

Read it yourself:

That sank in the last couple of days. This takes the biggest reason why I have bad feelings about the club away. So there is no reason to abandon them in particular if I want to socialize at all. Just like that I am thinking about getting back in touch. I still have really mixed feelings about it though, if I want to go back it should feel right.

I think I could really benefit from some tea. 🍄

I was rolling in my bed thinking about all my social problems before sleeping, right after sleeping, I hate that this puzzle seems so unsolvable, I have rarely been so immersed into something. One thing I should maybe do is ask for advice. Its just not easy to actually find a serious person I have a good relationship to. The other thing is maybe I am just expecting to much. I mean I do ask myself the question of whats going wrong socially because something is out of balance. I am not getting my social needs met and I struggle to do so. But I also have tons of baggage from the past which limits me. So even perfectly going about it with just my conscious self (and my unconscious self hindering me) its probably just not possible to get the type of connection lets say a person with a healthy social past could get. So maybe I need to change my expectations. Improvement is betterment, to feel fully connected and at peace is hard to reach.

Thats kind of the narrative of culture although that is changing a bit. And it is also true most of the time that women seek serious relationships instead of hookups. But of course there are women who like casual sex. But this kind of hits a wall in me somewhere, it just feels antithetical to a womens goals to go for casual sex, from a biological point of view but also from an emotional point of view. The times I had casual sex this always left me wondering how to make sense of it.

I was thinking about a vacation programm for people who want a restart with their style, possibly a restart in their life. Next to the hotel would be a huge cloakroom where you can take any clothes you like. The problem is that we often think about how certain clothes fit next to our other clothes or we dont dare to try a new remake so we kind of stay locked. At this place you could make completly new outfits everyday. After you wore the clothes you can just give them back to be washed and offered again. Of course that would kind of be a second hand service. To make it more eco friendly you could maybe also bring clothes and take other peoples clothes in a trading section. Imagine you spent a month there trying a new outfit every day, at some point you tried out everything and hopefully really know your flavour then.

Also scared that I might embaress myself or that I thought more about myself then what I actually bring to the table or that I miscalculated and someone isnt actually interested !! The direction of progress is always where it is uncomfortable.

Its interesting, I had a bunch of conceptual philosophical talk in the short time period where I had my philosophical seminar for 3 days. Not sure what the value really is in that, generally my 'thought and insights' seem to have transitioned more from philosophical to spiritual although I cant really pin that down because I have no finished definitions for either of these things, but one difference is that philosophy is more conceptual and spirituality has more to do with insight and direct experience.

havent finished that one yet though

I kind of cramped everything into this journal, even my philosophical and spiritual insights. But thats problematic because I will just loose them in this journal.

I find it intriguing how music can convey certain things that other mediums can’t. Like, what’s baked in there metaphysically that makes this piece of music, pretty universally at least among humans, convey a sense of the sublime, infinity, God? How’s that possible? What are the limits of that?

My place for philosophical thoughts and spiritual insights.

Telling yourself a joke There is something deeply pure and wholesome about telling a joke to yourself. It is enough that you find it funny — in fact, that is the only important thing, as it makes it absolutely true. The universe laughed at itself in a certain moment in time; there are no social games, no doubt that this is good.

I am thinking about what self love really is. Its kind of the key but I dont even really know what it is. Maybe thats the most important question.

Somewhere in this journal I wrote that when I waste my time and energy for people who I dont really like, I loose that energy for the right people and I cant even reach them. So no, selling myself is probably not a good idea.

I am putting zero thoughts into a career other then remote viewing but for remote viewing I am not really doing many exercises because I dont know where these random exercises on the internet are realistically going. Its just so hard to actually proof to yourself that it is working. In the backstory of Stefan Franke, he read several books and tried a few exercises and after half a year or so he was finally sure it wasnt fake. So really I need a strategy to go about it. Also I am wasting time in my semester break where I could practice.

I kind of miss having a big project to work towards. I think that always made me pretty happy. Probably theatre plays or something of that sort would be my final destination but right now I am still thinking about creating a weapon for Team Fortress 2. I could install my PC again but I am afraid of getting addicted. It could set me back several steps, I put it away because it was interfering with my development.
