Yeah, I wouldn’t put much hope in such an event. Especially if there are many proven ways of coming out of the depth. Maybe it helps you to know, that I wished my own death for solid 9 months (until 4 months ago). Sometimes daily; or in some horrible nights with every thought. Nothing helped, no antidepressants, no benzodiazepines, no weed, no psychedelics, no morphine (yes I took all of it - out of desperation). The answer and way out of this was way closer and easier than I expected it to be. But I don’t know your case, so just telling you what I’ve don’t is probably not helpful for your case. But it was not a „Eckhart Tolle miracle“. If anything such miracle states made it worse. Because they would remind me of the heaven I could return with death. But now I can say with all my heart that it was worth staying alive. And that your future self would probably (99.98%) think the same about you. Maybe you can investigate, what other aspects of your psyche may be connected to your depression. Maybe its some form of learned helplessness, maybe fear maybe something totally different or nothing of that sort. Investigating there was the key for me.

Regarding the latest post: Jordan Peterson is already at it..

Of course, this one. Everything else is heresy.

Send me your Venmo Unity doesn’t stay forever. Or does it.

Sometimes I just want to lick @Leo Gura's face, when I realize the infinite intelligence and beauty in real time.

I read this while listening to an epic fav. song of mine. Which underlined the message so well. Even my goosebumps have goosebumps.

The minds of Rogan bros are so closed, showing the anything from Leo is throwing pearls before the swines.

Seems quite reasonable though. What more could you expect from the Rogan bros.

That’s what I used to think about depression as well. I think it was Tim Ferris who first started to cover a lot of stories where psychedelics like ayahuasca and Iboga could help with depression. And although they do have a use case for addiction problems, it showed that for depression they are mostly useless. With the risk of introducing new psychiatric conditions. Only Ketamine is used here and there for treatment resistant depression. But In about 98% of the cases, traditional anti-depressants, psychotherapy and psychosomatic therapy is preferred. - By the way. I’m not against psychedelics per se. But throwing them at every psychological problem is just lunacy.

I know something about it since I had severe depressive episodes in the past. Psychedelics made it worse in almost every case.

That’s not how depression works. It can have many reasons, but fundamentally, chronic depression is inflicted by the nervous systems if something major in life doesn’t coincide with one’s interests, core values or if a major need is not met. Often it’s just lack of introspection and self knowledge that keeps one from accessing these topics. That’s why psychotherapy helps. Dumping complex whacky psychedelics at a depressed person, will make it worse it almost 100% cases. It’s evident that you have not done any research into depression on your side.

Interesting. With me it became more and more pronounced. There are a lot of factors at play though.

Pretty normal. I've had not one LSD experience where this wasn't the case afterwards. It's only logical though, since LSD is a heavy shower of neurotransmitant effects on your central nervous system. It's like having sex 80 times in a row. You wouldn't be too horny after that. So give yourself some time. If you are depressed in general, it would be another story.

The last point. Super underrated. And I see it rarely being spoken about here. God can be this beautiful little fairy that dances with you at a summer festival, only to vanish like she was never there. Some times almost feel heartbroken by God. Why is no one talking about this. God is not something to learn or know and keep. It’s this 10/10 woman, that comes along, messes up your life and leaves you like the NPC you are Of course it’s not always like that.

Aarogan? Gimley? Elf guy? Bro.. Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas are dope, but this fellow is Faramir. Who, even with the prospect of claiming the One Ring from Frodo and therefor finally making his father proud, rejected it to save Middle-Earth, but agreeing to receive the death penalty for it. What a Hero. I also love that Tolkien didn't just wrote him as another masculine knight, but bestowing him with a sense of weakness and feminine traits. So ingenious.
