  1. Maybe her "hating men" is just a projection of your sexist worldview. Most feminists don't hate men, but right-wingers strawman them that way. If she truly hated men she wouldn't be sleeping with you. Maybe it is you who hate women.
  2. @Joseph Maynor Stop squabbling with her about nothing.
  3. Two books? I don't remember a second one.
  4. I am not denying your diagnoses, I am saying that they don't necessarily say anything about psychedelic use. Diagnoses are not normative. I had a bipolar girlfriend who handled psychedelics fine. You can't know things without testing.
  5. You should be very careful then. However, just because someone said it doesn't make it true. Your psychiatrist does not understand psychedelics. Again, I am not telling you to do anything.
  6. @Staples As I said, requires high intellectual maturity to understand. Of course you dislike it. But if you loved truth you would love it.
  7. I am not entirely against it, but it is dangerous so requires a lot care. Most people would abuse it. There is also a difference between dating a fan vs dating someone just finds you through your work. If you are giving a speech and someone in the crowd meets you, that's not necessarily a fan.
  8. Test small doses. Psychedelics are not dangerous at low doses. The danger is that it's a slippery slope. If the low doses work, you will want high doses, and that's where things get hairy. What kind of mental illness do you have? God has many degrees of realization. The lower degrees are relatively easy and safe. The high degrees are very hard and very dangerous. But you can find a sweet-spot for yourself somewhere along that spectrum depending on your capacity. So don't get discouraged.
  9. My books gives a complete explanation of God.
  10. Cal Newport's ideas can go on top of "follow your passion". When you follow your passion, you will do the thing so much that you will master it can you will have 2x the effect. You will have passion + mastery. But it's actually passion x mastery, giving you 4x the result! But it goes even deeper than that once you add spiritual connection to God. Passion x mastery x God = the highest possible outcome. Your work should be God acting through you, until you and God become identical.
  11. 1) You can realize God in milder ways. 2) Mental illness does not necessarily preclude psychedelics. But be careful, I am not telling you to take psychedelics. I am only describing how Reality works. I am not telling you what to do.
  12. Even if Islam taught all of that, it would still not end in God-Realization. God will not be understood without psychedelics.
  13. @Thought Art Now you have gone too far. I give you an inch and you take a mile. Do not kid yourself. Islam will not end in God-Realization.
  14. @Thought Art I hear ya. You make fair points.
