@Javfly33 I think LSD amplified your perceptions of yourself and of your behavior. You might want to do some healing: facing your wounds, dealing with negative beliefs, and so on. Taking LSD was not a "mistake": it went that way because you needed this experience. You needed it in order to have the opportunity to let this negative stuff come to the surface, so that you can heal it.

That's a huge step, good luck with healing!

I made several posts on healing and healing techniques. You can start there. Healing is a process which requires you to deal with the mental aspect of your psyche, and the body aspect of your psyche. This means you work on your thoughts, expectations, beliefs, relationships with yourself, self-image, and your past, but you also work on your body, on your muscular tensions, on your emotions and traumas, on your energetic imbalances (the energetic imbalances part is pretty advanced, so don't worry now). Several techniques/methods/exercises. First, you start by understanding how to heal, what it means and the principles behind it. Check out the video "How To Heal The Emotional Body" by Teal Swan (she has several stuff you will find powerful). If you are not in touch with your emotions enough, if you don't trust your capacity to recognize or verbalize your feelings, if you feel numb or disconnected from your feelings, if you feel you have to reconnect with your emotions first, I recommend you start with Emotional Vipassana. If you are already attuned to your emotions, I recommend you to start with journaling (or even go to a psychotherapist if this idea resonates with you), Inner Child Work, Parts Work (also known as the Two Chairs Exercise), and The Completion Process (book by Teal Swan). The more you heal, the more difficult is to heal, because you first heal surface stuff. After the surface is cleared, you may want to go deep. In this case, you may want to do serious body work, like Trauma Release Exercises (TRE), Shamanic Breathing / Holotropic Breathwork, and Bioenergetics Exercises. Here's some posts of mine you may find helpful:

@Vision Perfectionism is a coping strategy that generates satisfaction as an outlet for subconscious psychological tension, which comes from a lack of being okay with yourself having less control on yourself. Perfectionism is a second order symptom. It's wiser to deal with its causes. Go for the root cause, which usually is having a controlling parent. Heal the expectation of always being excellent/perfect, of always conforming to other's standards. Do shadow work and deep inner child work. Release tensions. Learn to soothe yourself. Dive deep into your mind, and love your hidden parts. I was perfectionistic, but no more since I healed myself. I didn't find any books or resources for perfectionism, but I didn't need them because I found more powerful stuff

Hi! Recently I've realized this thing that I'm going to explain, and I think it could be a very empowering and recontextualizing perspective for people who are healing and are working every day on their wounds and traumas. In the past years I've been healing quite a lot, but every time I stop and think how far I've gone, I don't feel (feel, not think) like I've made that much progress, even though I may have done things I always aspired to do in the past. For example, years ago I would have never thought of becoming a guy brave enough to cold approach women: I felt like that was not me and never would be, and I didn't realize how much I could heal and how many chains I could break. And now I feel like approaching women is doable, not a situation to make me crumble internally. However, even though I have the courage to do that, I still perceive myself as "not brave enough": even though I may approach a woman and not be so tense as I used to be, I don't perceive myself to have a high self-esteem in this area. Why? Because I don't perceive myself as "brave enough". It's a self-image problem. How I see myself doesn't reflect the improvements I achieved. Have you ever heard of the self-help metaphor of the chained elephant? In circuses elephants are chained when they're baby, and they can't break the chains. So they learn that chains are unbreakable. When they grow up they have the strength to break the chains, but they have learned they can't. So they don't try. The situation I'm trying to explain here is much like setting the grown elephant free. The elephant may be technically free, but they still think of themselves as unable to break chains. The solution to this self-image problem is to stop and then contemplate what your new behaviour means. You stop and say to yourself: "Whoa, I did that thing I was always scared to do. This means I'm no longer like before, but I'm _______" so deeply that your view of yourself changes (basic self-help stuff). Now, not everybody will be in this situation. You could be healing using subconscious reprogramming techniques or directly self-image exercises. So this perspective is geared towards people that chose a psychotherapeutic or energetic or bodily approach to healing. TL;DR: if you made progress externally during healing journey but you don't feel like you've changed internally, change how you see yourself (self-image). Hope this helped!

@Breakingthewall Wise words... Yes, that's crucial

@Thought Art Yeah, I saw that video, I don't remember if Leo said something similar. Also yes, when I wrote the insight I was thinking about psychocybernetics too!

@Average Investor @Michael569 Thank you very much for your support and help. Right now my diet is pretty balanced and since legumes are my main choice for proteins I'd be in trouble if I had to stop eating them because I ate too much of them. @Michael569 Michael, I'll share with you one insight about allergies. In the last year I tried bioenergetics exercises, i.e. exercises to release deep seated muscular tension, which is linked to the psyche and the subconscious. And sometimes, when I do some type of exercise which deals with the diaphragm and the throat, my nose start tingling like I have to sneeze and it's exactly the type of sneeze due to allergy to hay. I discovered that I can command this reaction, I can create it with these exercises: activating certain muscles in the throat and the diaphragm I can create an allergic reaction. This led me to the insight that the antigen entering my nose creates a cascade reaction with the muscles and mucoses, which store a tension released by the interaction with that antigen, pretty much like they had a psychological imprint and the antigen reactivates that imprint. And this tension has a psychological nature pretty much of the time. I don't think the same applies to allergies like coeliac disease though.

Hi! Recently I relying a lot more on legumes as a source of complex carbs, proteins and calories. And I like them so much that I could eat them at every meal. But I'm afraid eating them too often (and too much) and developing an allergy to them, a sensitivity, a bodily reaction. So, how can I know how much to go for legumes and, as an extension, to other foods? How do I know if I'm eating too much of a given food (given that this food is "healthy") and I'm going towards negative effects? Thanks!

Thanks everybody!

@Rilles "God, I love this world, people sticking stuff in their holes."

@peanutspathtotruth Yes, I was allured too by the fancy academic terms and the lenght of the videos. But I found that in the episode I watched/listened to, the "Episode 085 - Healing the Negative Father Complex", they were just talking about the facets of the negative father complex. Which is a great strength point and a disappointing weak point. Because yeah, talking horizontally gives you many perspective you may have not thought about, but they could have been learned simply by having more life experiences. The podcast episode didn't deal with the root causes of all the facets proposed, but of only some of them, which you can derive for yourself just by thinking and reflecting (if you are somewhat talented in psychology and self-awareness). I had higher expectations from the podcast. Still, I only watched/listened to one episode. Maybe the other ones are super! Who knows?

Actually some days ago I listened to one episode and I found it a watered down version of knowledge and wisdom compared to other sources of psychological material. I felt like the podcast episode was not deep enough. So I bet Jung would be a more insightful reading. We'll see.

@Michael569 Thanks!

@Michael569 What's a uni brush? Is it the spinbrush?

@Leo Gura Yeah, that's another side of the situation. At this point it doesn't make sense to go back to Ivermectin. It has more sense to improve the vaccine with further analysis and tests. At the start of the pandemic maybe it could have had more sense to argue about Ivermectin, but I guess governments aimed for a fast, specific, secure, reliable and scalable solution rather than going for already existing drugs and hoping they would hield promising results.

Check out also "This Jungian Life" YouTube channel. Not as a start, but as a useful source of info.

Do you mean Ivermectin side-effects if used in patients with Covid? If you meant side-effects of Ivermectin alone, I found that Ivermectin is listed in the WHO's List of Essential Medicines, which "contains the medications considered to be most effective and safe to meet the most important needs in a health system" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHO_Model_List_of_Essential_Medicines). However I personally don't know the side-effects of Ivermectin + Covid. Also: this is not required, because people would take Ivermectin in the first stages of covid, hence for short periods of time, a matter of days. Although I don't know if there could be a chance of Covid showing up again after Ivermectin usage.

Does anybody have documents or info about Destiny's claim that ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine have been proven to be ineffective?

The chair is not self-aware (at least from what we know). This means that even if it perceives pain, it can't understand that something is being done to it, because it doesn't have the concept of being a thing, an ego, an individuated piece of consciousness.

@Vivaldo You need RSD teachings. Go for old RSD Tyler videos (you can found links to them online) and new RSD Todd videos ("AskToddV" and "ToddVDating" YouTube channels). If these are not enough, go for the old RSD Todd videos ("Sergio Sorokin" YouTube channel). Also check on the forum, a lot of info has been posted here. Use the advanced search function.

@Droo_ I found it on spotify

@Windappreciator Symmetrical/asymmetrical is a duality, hence in the absolute realm they're the same, hence symmetry. A too much logical perspective though

Don't forget that there's also absolute symmetry in the symmetrical/asymmetrical dichotomy
