  1. That's fine by me. I've been there It's more about avoiding wild rants and weird behavior than a specific drug.
  2. Posting while high or drunk is against the rules https://www.actualized.org/forum/guidelines/
  3. A trip has a therapeutic aspect to it. You get to see an alternative perspective on yourself from a state of higher consciousness/wisdom, which is what the therapist tries to facilitate within the client. There is a lasting reduction in self-talk, the mechanism with which most psychological patologies are experienced and perpetuated. Awareness alone is curative.
  4. You're treating this like a personal journal, which is why it will be moved to the appropriate section. Please don't call people idiots or make posts in all CAPS. https://www.actualized.org/forum/guidelines/
  5. Pascal's wager is essentially about telling a non-believer to pretend that they believe in God; to lie, which is a sin

  14. I showed how it's inconsistent from the perspective of idealism. You said that a sense perception like the brain (form) correlates with other sense perceptions like experiences of faces (form), thus the brain creates consciousness (which is the perceptual+non-perceptual reality, or form+formlessness). Form correlates with form, which creates form and formlessness? ?
  15. Yeah I thought about that.
  16. Ah, he was originally a mathematician. That might explain it ? Process philosophy sounds interesting. Reminds me of Walter White's quote: "chemistry is the study of matter. But I prefer to see it as the study of change".
  17. If you saw Leo's last announcement, you know it means "dummy."
  18. Correlation between forms disproves the formless? How?
