Used melatonin once for two weeks everyday and it gave me depression. Guess it’s rare but it somehow seemed to mess with my serotonin/neurotransmitter balance etc.

It makes weak lobsters climb up the hierarchical lobster structure too.

"What do fasces represent? In ancient times, fasces were a Roman symbol of power and authority, a bundle of wooden rods and an axe bound together by leather thongs. Fasces represented that a man held imperium, or executive authority. Exercising imperium, a Roman leader could expect his orders to be obeyed, could dole out punishment, and could even execute those who disobeyed. The fasces he carried symbolized this power in two ways: the rods suggest punishment by beating, the axe suggests beheading. On its surface, the fasces imply power, strength, authority, and justice.

You could also say ego is meaning.

Seemingly there’s no ego, there’s no god, there’s no saviour, there’s no choice there’s just this. -nondual nonsense

It’s wild how much meaning we put on Everything as humans. And it’s mostly just a story.

That’s for sure.

Is he the supplements guy?

Nice. Meaning seems a bit silly anyway. And there’s a me in meaning.

I’m an illusion. Yeah i did it 🦭

Benzos, low dose anti psychotics (quetiapine), tricyclical antidepressants, anti depressants, anti histamines (benadryl etc) etc. But the only ones that don’t make me groggy are benzos. Just don’t get addicted. And i don’t use them very often.

Or even a hue of yellow.

Glad i deleted my fb account like 7 yrs ago or more.

Guys all this divisiveness in that part of the forum. I mean i get it politics is always divisive. But for the love of god. Isn’t that the part where we look inward and yadda yadda. What’s going to get us out of this division? More anger and division? I mean i get it on a deeper level everything is perfect that’s happening it couldn’t happen any other way and there isn’t really a free will so it’s hopeless. But still I hate to be the Kumbaya guy but come on guys let’s try. 💜

Doesn’t really interest me anymore. Gnosticism, Kabbalism, Magick, Esotericism etc. seems overly complicated. I prefer non duallity now.

We’ll find out. Trump and RFK might fall out. Trump did need him to get elected but if he keeps on yapping about the environment he might be gone. Because there will also the oil etc. lobby in Trunps ear. Would be great if the right wing became more environmentally friendly though of course.

Ok

What is a normal person? I say seemingly because everything is seemingly unknowable and i don’t want to sound as if i had some truth.

Yes seemingly. But for no one. My lovely fennel. I think i posted a pic of it in this thread. But then i just threw into a soup and ate it.

There’s already no choice seemingly. If it works for you fine but imo what you’re saying sounds a bit fennel on a stick thing. If you follow the path long and hard enough then this and that. Gosh i miss fennie.

But that’s just thoughts. What’s between "i am here" and "there’s nobody"?

But also you can’t get out of it. Which could be encouraging or whatever. It’s inescapable liberation. Yea there’s looking and contraction but what if it’s no-one looking, just seeing.

Where? And what if that’s just a thought?

I’ve heard "contemporary gurus" say. This is already liberation. There isn’t a step closer or further you could take from enlightenment. There isn’t a path. There isn’t a you to do that anyway.

How do you know that when you said you’re not enlightened or liberated?
