It's an inevitable aesthetic once you try to condense it down to art. "Wholeness" and "regeneration" are systemically sound constructs and simultaneously sound like hippie jargon, because that's the truth. The hippies are intuiting something and the systems thinkers are articulating it.

How long do you think they disappeared for?

Aesthetically Green. It's usually Green people who listen to psytrance.

I just realized that category is a part of the developmentalists category, so I added a new category for constructivists and idealists and put him under that one.

Your friends, family and community needs you.

For sure. I think there is space for him.

I see a lot of good suggestions, but I'm hesitant to add more people to already existing categories (at least the fullest ones), because it gets too messy. I could easily copypaste 100 names straight from wikipedia. The point is to get a general overview and see the connections between names that mainly frequent this community (that's the best I can do as a non-expert). I would still like more suggestions for new overaching categories that don't overlap too much with the existing ones and new examples for those

Speaking of the devil, here we have most of the Game B guys gathered together (literally posted just 1-2 hours after I made the mind map):

For me, it's not really the pain that is funny. It's the way which the pain is gained. That's the entire appeal of Jackass and skateboarding falls (I think most of the guys from Jackass are skateboarders). It has to look like it hurt at least a little bit or you're not likely to get the effect, but even then, if the pain is too bad or it causes severe injuries, it's quickly not funny anymore. Those two videos were all pain, no gain.

Nice.

Sure. I've also had what you can call issues from experiencing awakening (or ego's reaction to it). It's still qualitatively different from the experience of DP/DR and ego's reaction to it.

The difference is that DR/DP doesn't make me go "Holy fuck! Me and the universe are one!" It's more like "wait... this is weird."

I've had derealization/depersonalization while sober induced by stress, while calm, and induced by drugs, and I've also had sober awakening experiences, and they're not the same.

This is a strong double bind. Does he actually not want you to listen to him? Is it just a way to make you continue listening? Also, if you actually do listen, are you taking his advice or not?

I wasn't thinking clearly when I made that topic.

Paint your room pink then.

Red is my favorite color too.

Does dropping out after 1 year count?

Haha deja vu . I like it.

LOL

There are always exceptions to broad-sweeping statements about complex things like society. I already told you this: There is more to a country than GDP.

Experiences of self-transcendence in narrative form, corrupted by ego, distributed geographically through imperial conquest. The first world religion, Hinduism, was a culmination of several lineages of pagan nature religions from the Upper-Paleolithic to the Early Neolithic that existed ~15000 years ago. It retained the traits of polytheism with animal and feminine gods. In a growing world of cities and empires influenced by patriarchal power structures, we got organized religion, the epitome of which were the Abrahamic religions, with emphasis on monotheism, law and order: strict behavioral restrictions under the rule of the one patriarchal Father.

Idk why don't you find out?
