You can make distinctions, and you can see them as identical. Different, but the same.

Great work. Let’s keep opening up!

A humble approach is to realize that you’re at war with yourself. Stop looking to others as the source of your suffering. Or even looking up to them as the cure for your suffering. That is still immaturity. Notice yourself doing this, but keep contemplating into the nature of suffering as you are suffering. If you find that examining fear is too overwhelming, ground yourself in the present moment by observing sensations in your body, without judgement. The goal is not to achieve a calm body and mind, but to acknowledge and accept it as it is. This is important, as it teaches you that you don’t need to be a particular / preconceived way to be present with yourself. Then go back to facing your fears.

Self-deception integrated and processed consciously can mature you exponentially. The problem is most people love getting sucked into it without ever doing an examination from a deeper/higher perspective; instead, attaching themselves to self-deception for dear life.

I recommend eating blueberries daily. Not only does it taste good, but it’s been shown to be great for brain health in the elderly people.

Your date is your guru.

Have you ever played Monopoly? Staying in jail can actually be beneficial depending on the context of the board. I should play a game of Monopoly in Finland.

I like to eat all my enemies as a late night snack. Part of a balanced diet.

He posts on this forum daily and posts insights on his infinite blog.

@Princess Arabia sweet, that’s the brand of eggs I used to buy. I haven’t had eggs in a while, but I’ll remember to check em out!

On a first date, we went on a nature walk while it was nearly pitch black outside. At first we hesitated to walk into the void, so we walked “safer” path that had a bit more lighting. But as we warmed up to each other, we went back to the void and took the plunge into the unknown. First time we ever did this; it was totally worth it to face fear head on with complete trust. Nature is a powerful psychedelic.

When you go on a date and realize that you’re dating yourself, then you will know.

Balance synchronicities with grounding yourself. If synchronicities are scaring you and throwing your life into paranoia, then it sounds like you’re dealing with a more complex issue at hand.

Your profile smile is similar to the video thumbnail

No, that’s ableism.

@Sir Oberon You can also have altered states of consciousness without psychedelics if you’re a weirdo like me and some other users on here (Inliytened1 comes to mind)

Both! Sometimes we meet on Zoom, other times irl.

Hmm… I wonder if he’s a member on this forum, or lurking

Get into a car crash. I was in one almost a year ago; since the other driver was at fault, I got that much money from their insurance company!

Let’s go to war to settle our dispute then. Put em up!!

@Breakingthewall The less bias I am and the more I care about all of reality. Love.

@Breakingthewall Since you’re imagining all of reality, you are helping you awaken you. I know I sound like I’m talking in riddles right now, but you’re ultimately going to have to awaken yourself. Articulating and grasping this stuff logically is inherently limited. But limitations are not a limitation to awakening unless you convince yourself that that the opposite is true. Feel free to disregard this message if it’s too mind-boggling.

@Breakingthewall God imagines limits precisely so God can enjoy God. Enough of the foreplay!

Heh. I’m dating someone whose name is the same as a famous Star Wars character. They refused to ever watch Star Wars and hate it simply because they kept being teased about being that character growing up. So I told them that we should watch Star Wars on a future date… maybe that’ll help recontextualize the whole situation (Our Midi-chlorian count happens to also be through the roof when we’re together, so that also helps :-p)
