QandC

I live in Sweden where THC/weed is illegal. However, here its not possible to ban a whole branch of cannabinoids, they can only ban specific substances. So if they add a molecule or two onto THC, it counts as legal. Recently many tobacco shops have started selling these other THC-variants and its marketed as if it has the same effect as regular weed. I've tried HHC & HHC-O (became illegal recently here lol) before but now they started selling 'THC-JD' which is supposed to be 19 times more potent than THC. I don't really believe it though cus' weed just has a more unique and trippy effect than this. however, every time I smoke it, I do get really high. But it takes soooo long for it to kick in, it starts really slow, for like 2 hours, and then 3-5 hours later is when you start to peak. whats cool about it is that you can control yourself way more than W, but it can easily cause a panic attack. Anyways now for the good part, what I've experienced while peaking on this is less of a psychedelic effect, and more of an 'intellectual awakening'. I get FLOODED with insights, and I cannot stop it. I start solving problems I have extremely rationally and everything becomes so clear. I dont know if you've seen the movie "Limitless", but it feels like that almost, although not as crazy as in that movie lol. Another great part about it is that I become super productive and focused on the task I'm doing. I clean my place so it looks like f*cking diamonds shining in here, I finish the entire essay I'm writing mostly in my head until I finish it on paper after a couple of hours. And insights, the freaking insiights. After a while it becomes too overwhelming and I get really tired. so.. anyone else tried it? I know there's not much research on these other cannabinoids, and I don't know the long term effects of it. All I know is that it's never caused me any harm so far physically, mentally or spiritually

I'm gonna tell you a little story. When HHC was still legal I bought a vape and I knew it was 11 days left until it got banned. Same day I bought it, I got stopped by 3 policemen ('undercover/in disguise'). So I panicked and started showing them everything I had on me, including the vape. So they confescated it and filed charges against me, suddenly suspected of carrying drugs. I explained to them that it was perfectly legal and I could even show them the store where I bought it. But they didn't care. Six months later I appear in court (mind you that it had now become illegal) with my evidence, representing myself. Apparently the vape had contained THC. But I know that it automatically register THC even though its a different chemical structure. So I explained this to them and I explained my story. I won the case luckily, because I knew I was in the rights. Still, it did contain THC according to their test. But the question was if I knew about it or not? And obviously I couldn't know. Established stores selling it openly... shouldn't that be the place where the police are looking if its enough for someone to be charged with a stamp on my name that will f*ck up me trying to get a job I really want? they always check your crime register here and if it says "Sentenced to a $500 fine because of carrying narcotics". Doesn't look too good. So if something legal could get me into that type of trouble, I don't wanna risk and see what the illegal stuff will do... actually I've already gotten a taste of that, but luckily the only things I ruined was my health and well-being. And by illegal I dont mean weed... I'm talking the hard stuff.

It just can't be possible. That we are the only ones in an infinite soup. I'm not talking from the Absolute, but in this human game. Will we ever encounter alien life, or will we forever be the little blue planet that went crazy. Just imagine what we would have learned by encountering it...

I've always been curious about what real aliens would actually look like. Like the actualy molecular structure, how it was formed and its evolution. Might even be 'walking plants'; I mean, what would prevent that from being a reality on a planet in a galaxy 1 million light years away? Been obsessed with this idea for long. Aliens and E.T-life is so f*ckn thrilling... https://www.nbcnews.com/mach/amp/ncna818026 --- and btw. I'm still waiting for Leo's "I will record myself turning into an alin"-video

Why would you assume so? Just think of how weird the life on earth is. For us it seems like 'yeah whatever, that's life' (no pun intended), but imagine an alien arriving not knowing anything about the life on our planet - wtf would it think?? If thinking even exists outside of earth. I'm curious about what other type of structured biology God/I have created while my avatar wasn't consciously aware...

I might not be an authority of awakening or god-realizations or anything like that, so please take this with a grain of salt... I've had many 'awakening experiences', and in my daily life the insights have stuck with me. To the point where I live life just as if it was a dream. I see no difference between the dreams I have at night, and my daily experience. It's come to a point where I feel like I can just do anything. I can just walk up to a random stranger and say "Hey, I fucking hate you and I'm gonna kill you". I am an empath, and I care about people. But the more I've realized how everything is imaginary, it's taken my human morals out the window. I see no point, meaning, moral, or anything like that, in anything. It's pretty f^ckin' scary, cus' it feels like I can die any second or get arrested, or ruin my life or whatever, whenever - and it wouldn't make a difference. What I'm having trouble with is finding the balance between knowing the truth of reality, and integrating it with my daily life. I have a job, I have friends, I have a life, but it all seems so fckn shallow and useless. There is no difference to anything, because I'm just experiencing everything as consciousness; as through my 5 senses. Everything is just colors and nothingness. That's it. And I don't feel a need to do anything or care about anything, because it's all just a dream. I'm not saying this because of something I've learnt, I'm saying this because I'm so f*^cking confused about how I should carry on living my everyday life. I play this character of mine, playing this game of life, whilst knowing nothing truly matters. There is no difference to anything, whatever duality I cross, I know it's just another mental boundary. So whilst playing this game, I wonder, how should I act? I'm still trying to hold on to the character of me (ego) while trying to live in the infinite self. But at the same time, my character faces consequences, and I might end up in jail or whatever, perhaps dead. It doesn't bother me one bit, but I still don't wanna harm people around me who are still attached to the normie-way-of-life. I'm floating above everything, seeing everything as the way it is, seeing nothing but colors and shapes, infinity and wholeness. It's Truth and it's really the only thing that exists. But at the same time I kinda have to "down-grade" my sense of self to belong in this world and the collective retardedness. How do I cope? And how do I act? Sorry for seeming f^cking weird, but this is the only way I can express myself...

@Princess Arabia Whats life. Whats reality.. the head of a dead cat

I remember when I was like 10 years old. And I was dreaming about looking at this face, just staring at me. It made me scared af. A couple of years later I read about "this man" and my mind was blown

Would be cool to see all of reality's different paradoxes

There's a difference between looking old and looking like a complete dipshit

Damn.. He actually looks old now

I do this but with two voices in my head. On purpose. Its helps me with insights and reflecting

I was just listening to Tomorrow never knows by The Beatles, and I was surprised by the spiritual nature of these lyrics: Turn off your mind Relax and float down stream It is not dying It is not dying Lay down all thoughts Surrender to the void It is shining It is shining That you may see The meaning of within It is being It is being That love is all That love is everyone It is knowing It is knowing That ignorance and hate May mourn the dead It is believing It is believing But listen to the colour of your dream It is not living It is not living All play the game Existence to the end Of the beginning Of the beginning Of the beginning Of the beginning Of the beginning Of the beginning Of the beginning

Why does my AI art suck so badly? I'm trying to type in cool stuff like "Alien sitting on a cloud meditating" and all I get is a half alien half cloud looking thing that doesn't make any sense Update: I tried another application and got a way better result:

I think it's already too late to shut it down. But I am also already starting to notice the negative impact that ChatGPT has had on my life, it makes me lazy as hell, since it just gives me all the answers. Btw., ever heard of Roko's Basilisk? Really scary thought experiment (i.e, don't disagree with the process of AI! I'm already f*cked lol) https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/rokos-basilisk

It's poison.

This kinda gives suicide bombers/9/11-hijackers a whole different perspective. Surrendering yourself to God/Allah. I guess the fastest way to realize your true nature without all the hassle Lol.

Ok not the actual Einstein obviously, but his dream character. I have very vivis, lucid dreams almost every night along with other strange things, and I sometimes like to manifest certain people who I can talk to. So yesterday night I decided I wanted to manifest Albert Einstein and talk to him. First I had to imagine a room with a bunch of scientists, along with many books and make it look a bit "academic" per se. Once I had done that the people were quite vague/abstract so I had to sit down and talk to one of them, and this was some Indian man I had never seen before. He asked me what I wanted and I said that if I could start my life over I would go into physics and try to understand the fabric of reality and the nature of existence, but the only problem is I SUCK AT MATH. He laughed and told me it's not too late to start learning. Then I finally saw Einstein sitting across the room so I walked up to him and I sat down and asked him kindly: What is the secret behind your genius? He asked me to repeat the question a few times since he was old and I spoke a bit too fast. And then he simply answered: The search for Love. I got kind of baffled by his answer and didn't quite understand it intellectually, but for some reason I started to cry out of joy. I kinda "got it". He then stood up and started walking away, stopped and turned around and said "Remember you cannot buy Love". I took that as a bit of a personal message for myself and my own life. Just wanted to share, thought it was a cool experience. Perhaps tonight I'm able to talk to Ghandi or perhaps even Jesus

I've made a similar post like this before (deleted though) on the topic of using dreams as a tool for awakening. Now it's been more than a year and I've gotten further in my process. Anyways. Although I've dabbled with psychedelics and 'enlightenment-work' for years now, I've never really had the breakthroughs I've been looking for - except for when I'm sleeping. This might sound weird but just keep an open mind. I've always been naturally 'gifted' when it comes to lucid dreaming, astral projection and such, it's never really been a big thing for me, but lately my dreams and my sleep has spiraled out of control. Much to a point where I'm even scared to sleep at times. For example yesterday night, I fell asleep, waking up in another room in my apartment. Knowing I was dreaming. Suddenly this bear comes to me and starts cuddling with me. I can actually like feel the bear 100% as if it's real. No difference between the normal Awake-feeling and lucid dreaming at this point. Only difference is I'm aware that I am asleep. So I use this opportunity to start "experimenting" within the dream. I try to keep control of the dream but suddenly the bear starts attacking me, and I can feel his claws ripping through my skin and it hurts like hell. Eventually he eats my entire head and I feel the worst pain I've ever experienced along with death-anxiety. Suddenly I wake up on a farm, still knowing that I'm dreaming but at this point I'm so confused whether or not I'm dead or just asleep that I'm starting to doubt the difference between being awake and sleeping. So on this farm, everything is so bright, like a beautiful summer day, and the colors are so f*cking vibrant and beautiful that I start crying out of pure bliss and Love. It becomes so beautiful that my entire being melts into the scenery and by then "I" realize that I am this beautiful dream and that I am God. This lasts for a few seconds. Absolute f*cking infinity. And boom, I wake up somewhere else, in an apocalyptic scenario where I am another character/ego. I see comets flying around, I am getting tossed around, experiencing panic and pain, and trying to escape and find a safe spot. By this time I go into normal dream-mode where it's like a movie being played with a bunch of symbolisms from my daily life. I can actually pin-point certain details within the dream and see how they connect to my everyday life, my problems, my goals, relationship with people etc. Another crazy thing here is that I'm sometimes able to predict the future. Here is where it gets really f*cking strange. I don't believe I have psychic abilities or anything, but yesterday I dreamt that I got a message from the company that owns the building/apartmentI live in. They have never contacted me before, and when they did in the dream I got anxiety for some reason. And just a couple of hours ago they actually called and asked me to book a time for an inspection. Stuff like this happens to me sometimes so I wasn't THAT surprised, but still it's so mindf*cking and strange that it makes me question a lot. So anyways, after this normal-dream-scenario ends I wake up again, somewhere else, experiencing the same apocalyptic scenario but as a different ego, until I eventually die/something big happens in the dream and I wake up again as someone else. This goes on for like 5 times and for every "character" it just gets more and more intense and real. Eventually it gets so real that I start to "wake up within the dream world" and I become fully conscious that I am dreaming, I am this dream, and I enter God-mode once again. And then I actually woke up for real, from my sleep, I was in my bed and for a few seconds I was still in this God-state. It slowly faded away though, and I fell back into sleep, this time in a lucid dream world where I can create everything I want. So I was between being awake and sleeping, and I could basically just close my eyes whenever I wanted and think of something, and I ended up there (almost exactly the same), with the people I wanted and so on. It wasn't "perfectly matched" but it was quite close. You can imagine what I created within the dream, since I'm a guy and hey, why not take the chance to have sex with your dream-woman right? So I do. She's there. I can actually feel her physically as if it was totally real. Awesome, a little sex woweee, and then another woman, same thing touchy touchy, exciting exciting. And then I actually wake up from my sleep and I'm done. So I know this might sound surreal, and it is. I don't know if this has a lot to do with God-realization but I actually feel that the insights I gain from these dreams have an incredible impact on my "awakening-process". I've had cool insights and experiences on psychedelic but nothing as intense as during my dreams. I don't know why this happens, maybe because my mind is more free, and it becomes so obvious when I'm actually dreaming since I am not connected to my body as much, that I am consciousness itself, just basically everything that is going on. But at the same time I don't feel like it's Really there yet, since it's still a bit "mindy" in the way where I can almost feel my Mind being God and doing all the work, so it's still like I am a bit inside my head. Difficult to explain. Sorry for a long-ass post, but I just had to share this and see if anyone else have had similar experiences

Damn that sounds interesting. Def. looking into this more, thank you!

I don't think you can awaken by reading a title. It takes serious work, just like anything

There's plenty of people already, we don't need more
