Also affirmations telling yourself that your good looking or cool or just repeating "I'm fine I'm fine" over and over again until you feel 10% better then then next 10% is a bit easier. And keep doing that

It's difficult, I had terrible terrible mental health problems growing up. Mostly my advice would be just find a way to cope. Now when I have my episode I just endure it and ignore it. Sounds a bit basic but, kinda overpowered. Just deny it's existence

It can, but just prepare to do it right.

A psychedelic assisted therapist told me that mdma+shrooms in a therapeutic setting is very powerful. Autism and ADHD are related it's kinda like they're the same thing I thinkkkk..but not fact checked that. I'm about 90% sure I have it. This combo would be more for trauma processing but I don't know for autism. You'd have to research it and make a clear goal like what you want

Qualifying factors for a cult can be these: 1. Rigid ideology — The group treats its beliefs as absolute truth and discourages questioning. 2. Suppression of critical thinking — Doubt, skepticism, or disagreement are reframed as ego or weakness. 3. Conformity pressure — Members are expected to think, speak, and act in line with group norms. 4. Dependence on the leader/system — Followers believe they need the leader for spiritual or personal salvation. 5. Exclusive truth claims — The group believes it alone has access to “the truth,” and outsiders are deluded. 6. Isolation — Members are subtly or overtly cut off from outside perspectives or relationships. 7. Information control — Criticism or alternative sources are dismissed or censored. 8. Emotional manipulation — Guilt, fear, or shame are used to enforce loyalty. 9. Charismatic authority — The leader is seen as uniquely enlightened, wise, or beyond ordinary criticism. 10. Exit costs — Leaving is framed as betrayal or spiritual downfall, creating fear of departure. 11. Doctrine over experience — Teachings replace genuine inquiry or personal verification. 12. Language control — The group redefines terms and uses insider jargon that prevents open critique. I'd say Christianity ticks a couple of the boxes. Not as much number 9, in fact actualized nearly ticks this box...except Leo isn't worshipped as having attained that which others cannot. Plus cults aren't that bad for us, if you know how to protect yourself you can check some of them out. -

Better cult than Christianity. They do have some mystical stuff. Direct communication with the deity etc. -

Leo says you just keep dreamin -
Aaron p replied to theoneandnone's topic in Spirituality, Consciousness, Awakening, Mysticism, Meditation, God
I think it's similar to why you have a body when your dreaming in a night time dream, the mind needs something to explain how it's happening. Something to ground it's "perception" in saying, "yes here is the body, it is what is generating this experience." -
Super unfortunate but this is a truth I'm coming to learn. You basically have to learn how to skillfully navigate the dumbassery of civilisation if you interact with it. I've now got the point where I recognise that saying X area of society has stupidity is itself a sign of my own stupidity. Doing so would be like walking into the middle of the Amazon rainforest and saying "there are trees in X area of this rainforest." But we should remember that there are small pockets of people who do know what they're doing. It's dangerous you can become depressed thinking about this shit

Just get to the point where you realise that there is no you to have or not have control. But ultimately, everything is perfectly controlled, by a lack of control. Lol -

It's ok to not know what your talking about...as long as you are what your talking about -
Martin balls friends do mdma and hit the 5meo right after you peak on the MD, chance of death is virtually zero. But don't do combos unless you know what your doing. The fear is usually too much is all. The m reduces fear dramatically. Careful if you have heart issues. Just careful at all times. Got to make your own choices, so this isint advice

Homes, killing insects is fine. You Wana sleep with bedbugs? I think avoiding unnecessary killing of insects or avoiding unnecessarily killing insects slowly is probably more realistic to have as a principal -
It's definitely possible to fall into the trap of too much knowledge though mistaking it for real spiritual development. You can actually use knowledge as a safety barrier to shield you from your own pain. It can most often come from a lack of love. It's perfectly fine to love people. You see people completely entrenched in a knowledge driven superiority complex. An easy test is this, if you go Infront of loads of people and crawl in the dirt naked and shout "I'm a dumbass", and you still feel good/valuable after, then it probably is real spiritual development. Just don't turn out like this guy, you can see knowledge making him stuck as fuck, which isn't good or bad, but probably not helpful for himself: (Skip half) (I don't disagree or agree with him, just his style of hyper rational, black and white reasoning). A mind that values epistemic flexibility less than raw memorisation will be disconnected from the deepest forms of love. 1 cor 8:1

I think Leo said perception is an illusion that we project onto consciousness. The answer might be that perceptions don't exist. But I have no realisation on that shit yet. Although I just now got a massive intuitive sense that contemplating this idea could be really fucking powerful. Cuz at the most fundamental level, what we think everything around us is, are perceptions. That is like the standard baseline that we hold to, even people here would likely hold that. Challenging the notion of perception could be like challenging the cornerstone of something massive. A better question might be "what is perception [made of]?" Like, actually. -

--- 1. Does the Book of Mormon say religion is created by the devil? Not exactly. The Book of Mormon does criticize corrupt or prideful churches that serve wealth or power instead of God — these are sometimes called “the church of the devil” or “great and abominable church.” But that term doesn’t mean all religion is of the devil. Rather: It draws a contrast between the “church of the Lamb of God” (those who follow Christ sincerely) and the “church of the devil” (any organization or movement that opposes truth and goodness). The text treats this more as a spiritual polarity (truth vs deception) than as literal denominations. So, no — it doesn’t teach that religion itself is demonic, but that religion can be corrupted by ego, greed, and distortion. --- 2. Is Mormonism the most mystical form of Christianity? In many ways, yes — especially compared to mainstream Protestant or Catholic theology. Mormonism teaches a radically participatory view of divinity: > “As man now is, God once was; as God now is, man may become.” This is known as the Doctrine of Exaltation — the idea that humans can progress eternally and eventually attain godlike nature through spiritual evolution and union with divine truth. That is remarkably close to mystical nonduality or divinization traditions found in: Eastern Orthodoxy (theosis — becoming one with God’s energies) Sufism (annihilation of self in the divine) Taoism (return to the Tao through alignment with natural truth) Advaita Vedānta (realization of self as Brahman) However, Mormonism keeps a dualist framework (God and humans are distinct beings who can become one in purpose, not literally one essence). So while it echoes mystical ascent, it doesn’t teach absolute nonduality like Taoism or Advaita. --- Summary ❌ The Book of Mormon doesn’t say all religion is of the devil; it condemns corrupt or prideful religion. ✅ Mormonism is arguably the most mystically inclined Christian denomination, affirming direct human-divine transformation and infinite spiritual progression — though it still keeps a distinction between God and creation.
