I had a similar thought. If somebody puts me in prison I am just gonna get enlightened so thank you ?

I would do it more for the spiritual part then the VR part. That’s why I wanted a newbie software. I think the VR part is also interesting, it’s just that there is a bit of danger for me to go too deep because things like that can soak up all of my awareness. When I was a kid and played to long on my Nintendo I went so deep into that world that it was always a bit of a struggle to reconnect with physical reality. But I will have to test it out. If it works now for me as an adult and is also fun, I could definitely see myself making a career out of it.

Where do you see the potential for VR worlds? here are my thoughts so far: -I could see a lot of companies wanting a unique VR place of their own and hiring people to make it for them. -Companies showing customers their real life place in VR (like hotel, bar, … you name it) so they can get a taste. -People who want to sell their house and put it in VR to make it easily accessible. Why do you not believe in the psychedelic part? VR can feel very real. And I think when you are on psychedelics VR can feel completely real because the conceptional distinction between VR and reality disappears. Just like you talked about in a recent video of yours where you completely dipped into a cartoon to the point where you became the cartoon and the cartoon characters. I feel like with VR that’s even more easy. And I think the teachings that would be delivered in the VR trip could be a lot more potent because your awareness is super sharpened because you feel like you really are in the VR world and with a mix of words and images you could really keep the attention on the topic. Just imagine you could fill somebody with contemplation for an hour and you know he would stay hyper conscious the whole time. You often repeat yourself in your videos because you know how easy it is for the mind to avoid the topic. But with VR support it might be a lot easier to stay on track. It could make mystical experiences more easily accessible on weaker psychedelics like shrooms or lsd, aka the mainstream which imo would be the best gift you could give to humanity right now.

I feel like politics is everywhere. The will of the people which has the control is formed through individuals. You can consciously take part in that net or you can try to ignore it. But the more people that take part in it the more representative politics will be of the whole of society. Also if you don’t inform yourself you will probably take in many low consciousness perspectives because these perspectives are often the loudest and it needs consciousness to filter those out. Also you describe just the toxic part of politic discourse. If you don’t want thats great! Politics will improve if you support open and judgement free discussions which go somewhere. I am also not big on politics though which makes me kind of a hypocrite preaching it to you like that. But I see how it’s important. Also it’s actually pretty fun talking about topics you have knowledge about. Like I love to talk about the educational system because I thought about it a good amount and got to many original ideas on it.

Dreams can feel super real and be really crazy sometimes. I unconsciously always had the belief that dreams are just less real then "reality“ so I didn’t give them much importance. But this thread questions that belief. Maybe I thought dreams are less real then reality because they are just an image of reality. But dreams go so deep that there is no reason to belief that just because they are an image of reality that they are less real. Completely forgot about this one of mine lol and I barely got in touch with god with psychedelics yet.

With psychedelics or without?

Universe picture: Add friendly looking ghostly alien creature: „Let’s explore infinity!“ Followed by countless examples that show that the universe is infinite, starting with earth. Fire picture: Add some friendly looking forest spirit: „Have you ever wondered what Love really is? To explain what Love is we can take fire as an analogy, as it shows the aspects of love that we often overlook because we have a hard time accepting them.“ Strange Loop Ant Picture: Take ants away. The VR user walks on the Strange Loop himself while he gets an explanation of what Strange Loops are. Some ideas for starting so far. Need these awakenings though to be able to explain it well.

Alright thanks. That looks like a good place to start. I checked out some videos of gravity sketch on YouTube. That looks incredible! I don’t know what that is, but it looks pretty cool/cute. My worlds would be single player only. But you would say that Horizon Worlds would be better because it’s easier to share my creations that way? Okay I will look into that. Yeah I have ideas on how to start small but of course the better the graphics are the more hooked people will be. Well if it’s successful I could see myself making VR worlds as my main job. That’s what I was looking for ? Thanks for the tips! Now I just have to get myself a 1TB Internet connection and a VR headset. Regarding the VR headset, what do you think are the minimum standards for working in Horizon Worlds, Gravity Sketch?

I wouldn’t repress the fear. Feel through it until it resolves. You keep it by making it unconscious. I see. It seemed like you had it pretty though. It seems like you came to your conclusion though ?? Is there still something about the dream you don’t understand/ would like to talk about ?

No there are literally people who have world class coaches and do everything right in training and nutrition and never get more then an early intermediate level of muscle and strength. And then there are people who sit on their ass all day and are still have better then them.

One of the biggest fear of a child is getting abandoned because that would mean death. So it’s very understandable that you fear her being angry at you and fear her being angry at you in the future. If she had a very mean look in her face then that would literally tell a child „I might just abandon you and so you might just die.“ That can of course be so overwhelming that it causes trauma. Did she give you free space to express yourself? I feel like children in general want parents near them so they feel protected but not to close that they feel that they don’t do their own stuff. For me it sounds like your childhood trauma is getting replayed. Your fear of her eyes that you had and your fear of her finding you when you hide. Of course when you hid from her in your childhood you closely tracked her eye movement and were afraid that her eyes might detect you. So everything you described just seems like a replay. Maybe you could try lucid dreaming to go deeper into this bad trip. As a anecdotal story I did lucid dreaming some years ago and in that time I also had a few bad dreams. I gained a lot of consciousness through lucid dream work though so in many of my bad dreams I had enough consciousness to do the counterintuitive thing and straight up confronted the object that haunted me. It took all of my guts to do it but it worked. If I got pursued I ran into my pursuer. If someone became a zombie I just ran into them. The moment the confrontation would have happened I always woke up. I had the same build up fear like from a normal bad dream in my chest but the bad dream stopped before it really happened. I feel like I conquered my fear. If you had the same dream but the moment you saw your mom you would just jump up and run into her the dream would probably just stop right there before you even manage to get close to your mother. I would tell myself that it’s just a dumb dream and not real. If you confront your mom in the dream enough times I think you will loose your fear. But that’s just my take on it.

No dream expert here, but do you worry about that your mother might not approve of your boyfriends choice? In your dream, were you afraid that your mother noticed your boyfriend ? We always interpret things in our childhood as our own fault. So maybe there is an aspect in your boyfriend that you can connect to unconsciously but have hidden it yourself in your subconsciousnis because you thought it was wrong, because of your mothers reaction. If your mother saw your boyfriend he would reveal that part of you that you have hidden and you expect the same traumatizing reaction form her. Just speculating …

No, I mean it’s possible to inhale a whole cake all at once which would be above maintenance calories. So it’s still important to eat good. Maybe a bit less though. Interesting I think most professional bikers eat a shitton of sugar throughout their day to fuel their workout/marathons and they are still shredded because they burn so many calories. I experimented with it also with like an 6 hour eating window. After some time the hunger is just gone until it’s time to eat. I didn’t continue it though because it didn’t feel flexible enough for me. I want to socialize and feel free and not have a tight schedule in the evening with my one enormous feeding and knock out tiredness after that. Also sugar isn’t that bad if you have a healthy bodyweight. It’s more important what you eat and not what you not eat.

Magic truffles were my first psychedelic and I feel like they are easier then lsd in small to moderate doses. Magic truffles feel warm and erotic while lsd seems to be more clear but also a bit cold and not that ego friendly.

Protein shake is like 50g of protein Legumes and whole grains is like 34g of protein With the snacks with low-fat quark or bread with cheese I guess I usually get at least 30g of protein. That’s like 114g of protein minimum. I am like 77kg so that’s like 1,48g of protein/ kg of bodyweight (0.745g/pound of bodyweight) Could be better for sure though.

I feel like everything has trade offs and so does modern feminism. I hope that at one point there is just a turning point where it is so clear for everyone that yes females can be just as hard working as men and yes men can be just as emotional as women. So lets just do what makes us happy without having to prove anything anymore. The "strong female“ isn’t only strongly demanded by feminism but sometimes in terribly unrealistic ways which is actually disempowering. This is a picture of an Asterix and Obelix Comic which I read some time ago. It seems like they want to show that they encourage females so they changed history and created a village where the social structure is that there are female warriors and men who stay home and take care of cooking and the kids. I told that to a young feminist and she said that that’s a great idea to implement ??. And I see that in all kinds of shows nowadays where there are females who are made artificially stronger then they actually are just so the show stays on the liberal train. I miss the old days when actually strong female characters like Princess Leia from Star Wars were involved and I am only 23 ?. These "strong female“ characters nowadays are disempowering to females because they send the message that you can only be a strong female character with physical strength and not with female traits. So they make femininity look weak and they also show an unrealistic picture of female strength in movies which doesn’t reflect our natural abilities. I want to see a film with two tough women overpowering a strong men. That would actually be empowering because that would be real.

Super interesting thread so far. I wanted to comment here: I think mr_engineer takes a spiritual approach in explaining what male/female are. For example you don’t know what big is without the contrast of small. You don’t know what strong is without the contrast of weak. You don’t know what warm is without the contrast of cold. You don’t know what a female is without the contrast of a male. It’s just that these thoughts of male and female are just so baked into our psyche that we can’t unsee them. So when you say I am still a women even without the presence of a men. Yeah not direct presence but unconsciously the contrast to a men is still there. You might say that even if you never heard about male and female you would still be a female because you have a female body and female hormones. But seriously what makes curves and breasts "femaleish“. Female isn’t printed on your breasts it’s a concept that you hold to make sense of reality. Or there is nothing "maleish“ about growing a beard and cutting wood if you remove all concepts.

Idk about that. If you eat cake and all kinds of treats in that period you can definitely gain weight. But I agree that it’s a lot harder to eat the same food in a short time Intervall then throughout the day so most people who want to loose weight can benefit from it. A bit of fasting has a lot of health benefits but isn’t that a bit extreme on your digestion?

I eat really similar every day. I am not the best in making shit look good but that was fun. Looking at this I could add some more leafy greens and healthy fats. I have 400ml of soy milk in my protein shake but that’s not enough.

Some people get nothing out of weed and other people trip super hard. When I used it I didn’t get much out of it most of the time but one time with around 0.2g edibles I had an awakening into absolute romance or something. I ate pasta and at one moment got really fascinated by a noodle on my fork. So I closely watched it for like 5 minutes. The longer I looked at it the more interesting and and lovely it appeared. The way it tenderly trembled through my hand which I couldn’t hold 100% steadily… I fell into a little romance and realized that every moment is a little romance like that. I reached incredible states of romantic love with tears running down my face while still holding the noodle for at least an hour. All kinds of other crazy stuff happened after that which hold me awake the whole night.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! Maybe one day I will awake to the fact that inside and outside are relative ?

It destroys your own ability to imagine hot stuff. Also once you get used to it you want to watch stronger and stronger content. Bigger ass/tits, bigger dildo, faster, deeper, … because the old stuff doesnt do it anymore. That makes real life sex look pretty boring in comparison.

I did a mid dose of lsd once after work and with half an hour of sleep. It was ... interesting. Like super aware sometimes and then just gone the next second out of exhaustion. I couldn’t really contemplate on anything. At the end of the trip I still had to go to the supermarket to buy flowers, chocolate (and toilet paper) for my moms birthday the next day. Me standing there completely gone with flowers, chocolate and toilet paper in the hand at the cash register must have looked pretty cinematic ?? All in all tripping sleeping deprived is dumb af. There is no good reason to do it.

From what little I read it seems to me like you use your intellectual knowledge to avoid facing your shadow. It’s hard to work through topics where you feel vulnerable, maybe you have to face fear, pain, sadness, hopelessness. Of course you try to avoid that. Talking about something in theory isn’t the same as actually going through your own pity problems. Your problems probably arent that deep or heroic and that can be hard to accept especially if you build an intellectual ego because you can feel like you are above pity human problems. There was a famous psychologist (maybe Jung or Freud I am not sure) who could brilliantly analyze his patients psyche and developed a whole system about it but he was way to scared to ever get analyzed himself because it would have revealed his human weaknesses. If your avoidance tactic with books is so strong then I would agree with your psychologist that you should avoid reading them, at least until you can become real and actually face your own problems. Of course you hate her for that because you don’t want to face your own problems. Meditation is great ??

That’s the kind of stuff that truly inspires me.
