Prophet's Prey.

The Vow documentary TV series goes into details of the NXIVM cult. It's so damn good. It has two seasons; a total of 15 episodes.

The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oral administration of Δ⁹-THC are different from inhalation. It is said that the CYP2C9 enzyme in the liver metabolizes most of Δ⁹-THC into a more potent version, although the rest of the Δ⁹-THC gets lost before reaching the bloodstream, and it lasts longer than Δ⁹-THC.

One of the most cringeworthy things. 😬

The non-duality of waking reality and nightly dreams, i.e., seeing both as essentially the same in terms of actuality, must make you reconsider the following: The "dreaming" of the dream The "you" that you think is limited to waking reality The viewing of stability as more true than instability

The Vow. Overview: Following the experiences of people deeply involved in the self-improvement group NXIVM, an organization under siege with charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy brought against its highest members and founder Keith Raniere.

If I'm really nailing it, that's because my teacher is one of the best in the biz.

Also, notice that your waking life doesn't exist in your nightly dream. So, the "you" is more fundamental and doesn't depend on your waking life. Thus, by that logic, if people die, i.e., stop having their current experience or waking life, how could they stop being after their death? Your waking life must be built on top of something true that doesn't depend on the waking life itself; otherwise, how could it be possible? One of the common denominators must be the "you", as I understand, which is not to say that what is happening as of now is fake or not actual.

As far as I understand, experiencing reality doesn't imply that you are literally creating reality. But who is dreaming the nightly dreams? If you are the only one who is dreaming, then, logically, who else would create the dream? I'm not trying to be. How else would I use the word "dream"? Yes and no. I just undid a distinction on the level of actuality. But of course, nightly dreams are different. I just said that they are more unstable. I didn't say that.

What the deuce!

There is one thing that needs to be added to the quality of nightly dreams: you know that you were the one who was dreaming and nobody else. So, if your waking life is no different than nightly dreams in terms of realness (they are not different), then what is stopping you from saying that you are dreaming this reality?

OMG, she was getting on my nerves!

I am generally afraid of losing stability in waking life because it can be taken away from me and my life depends on it. However, my human stability is a limitation. In nightly dreams, the limitations are relatively broken.

Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.

Dreams at night don't happen in your brain when you're sleeping. When you wake up from your sleep, you understand that what you experienced passed away. That's why you call it a dream. From your nightly dream's perspective, your waking life is a dream, because it passes away when you sleep. So, neither is more real than the other. If your waking life appears to be more stable, it doesn't mean it's more real.

Instant disown. Genius move.
