Great report, thank you for sharing. And I could really vibe to that Soko song. The solution to such a situation is of course complete and utter surrender. You stumbled upon the truth, which is out of the perspective of the ego absolutely horrifying. That's why it has to be surrendered.

A Psychedelic is not something that gives you a specific experience. The experience is in the eye of the beholder and not in the substance. By that I mean: You give a substance into your biochemical system which has a very complex interaction with that, what is already there. That means: One person can have a profound spiritual experience on a psychedelic, while another one stays in his/her closed-minded state. You can not separate the substance and the user! Only then it would be possible, that the substance alone is responsible for the effect. Another point of view is of course: You invented it all! You invented a way of experiencing a radical different perspective, which is accessible without decades of meditation, and you called it Psychedelics. That means you also create the effects yourself every time you take one. Which makes it even more true, that YOU (on a certain level, which you may or may not be conscious of) decide what happens when you take a substance, and what doesn't.

Hedonism is a very shallow form of pleasure. There are pleasures far greater out there, if you even had a taste you would instantly know that God is a reality. Nothing against a little bit of hedonism, but there are things really worth experiencing that do not come by themselves! Which is what makes the process so beautiful. You don‘t want to look back and think, that you wasted your life in mediocrity. The so called „hedonism“ is often times only an escape from the Path Of Passion.

Did you have a powerful psychedelic experience yet? Do you think that was completely illusory?

You will feel like shit most of the time if your diet sucks .. It then doesn't help when that misery lasts more than 90 years.

Truth exists! It is right here and right now. It ultimately is ALL there exists and ever will exist. And you are directly experiencing it! And you CAN become fully conscious of it. But in the very moment you try to grasp it or describe it or have knowledge about it, it becomes falsehood. Therefore Truth can not be told. But it can be known! There is no experience more intimate than Truth.

You already have all the answers. Look inside. If you still can't see it, take a psychedelic

Yeah, law of attraction can be toxic. I see it more as a practice in visualizing what you want to achieve. That‘s really powerful. But of course you have to do the work then, too. What about this: You are God, but deliberately forgot that you are. Because else it would not be possible to experience such a solid reality. And of course you can‘t just undo this, because it is your higher will, of which you are not fully conscious right now, to keep experiencing this „solid“ world - to do what you came here to do.

Hmm .. just saying .. on reddit there was a pretty popular thread about someone who found yellow post-its in his apartment addressed to himself. Very spooky stuff. On further investigation it emerged, that somewhere in his house carbon monoxide was leaking which lead to episodes of amnesia .. much like you describe. So .. maybe you should get a carbon monoxide detector, just to be sure. Because if that's the case, it can get very dangerous. This is the reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/34l7vo/ma_postit_notes_left_in_apartment/

What‘s the point of your experiment?

Start a war ..

God is of course always almighty. What differs is the consciousness of that fact.

I really like the idea of a book to be read on psychedelics! (Of which Cannabis is one). It could be part of the third wave, the psychedelic revolution, you know? I‘m in fact working on a LP that involves a live musical play, that is best attended while on psychedelics. So your idea really resonates with me.

@Mikael89 Only if you believe it to be ..

And the trick is to find out how to go from "I'm a human" to "I'm God". That's where the fun begins.

The truth is: You don't really know if anything of that is true or not. I read some of the stuff a while ago, some of it is really fascinating. But I concluded, that it doesn't really benefit me in what I'm planning to do in this life. You cannot discard it completely just because it sounds too wild. What's really mattering more in my opinion is, how would it affect you if it was true? How does it feel? Does it do any good for you?

Spiral Dynamics is a model. And a model is never really the Truth. But that begin said Spiral Dynamics is a really good model for understanding a whole lot of what's going on in the world.

@Anderz No way .. I think you're misunderstanding Spiral Dynamics. Just because someone can handle the complicated task of being a president, doesn't mean that someone has to be way up the spiral. There could well be a red/blue president. See some leaders in Nigeria, and also Trump (he's got some orange, too). There never has been a president that was Turquoise up to now. And there will be none in the next 100 years, because the population is not nearly advanced enough. Even Bernie Sanders ideas where too advanced for the American population. And he's full on green with possibly hints of yellow.

I think they (CNN etc.) should call Biden as president elect by now. When this was the result for Trump he would have claimed victory and everyone would be like: „yeah, he‘s right at this point..“ So why don’t they call Biden? Are there really so many surprise ballots that have a great probability to heavily favour Trump? I do not see it. Every hour they do not call Biden right now is going to help further Trumps narrative.

Of course it does. Isn't this a political issue, carried out in a domestic context? Also depending on the effect of his decision, it could also be a societal one

I can understand your argument about social exclusion. You could allow it and observe if it does effect him in any negative way. Anyway, 8 is still really young. If he wants to do it so much, it could also be argued that he will do it anyway - be it when he is with his friends or in secret. So maybe the best path forward here would be an honest talk with him about your own concerns, while also listening to his side, where you could also assert your stance. I don't think a blank "ban" without reason and without his understanding of it is going to achieve much, if he is really determined to do it.

Here in Germany Fortnite is approved for ages 12 and above. So it is perfectly reasonable to not allow it. Your arguments sound also plausible. You are the parent and your son is still a minor. So you decide! If you think it's not okay, then you have the final say in this matter.

https://alex.github.io/nyt-2020-election-scraper/battleground-state-changes.html Best resource I found for following the counting. It especially contains information about the trajectory, votes remaining, recent average percentages and percentages needed for the respective contender to catch up. Judging these numbers and current trajectories, Trump may win Arizona (will probably be really close), Biden will probably win Georgia (only 463 votes difference to trump right now, 7,352 left to count with Biden averaging about 2/3 of them), Trump will probably win NC, Biden will probably win Nevada, Biden will probably win Pennsylvania (Biden catches up really fast and there are still over 275,000 votes to be counted). It all looks like it will be a win for Biden right now.

That's an absolutely awesome quote! How is that outreageuos?

Where do all these persons trying to promote their ideologies suddenly come from? Have they even seen Leos content. If they have, they must have completely misunderstood it. This forum should be about unravelling all ideology, not about spreading them.
