Sincerity

@Schizophonia The post will reach whoever it must. It’s alright. I had fun writing this. It was worth it for its own sake. Cleared up my understanding. Also, there’s plenty of intellectuals on the forum but interested in different things, and not necessarily my essays. Which is okay. It is what it is. * * * * * One of the thoughts that motivated me to make this thread was the insight that you really can’t escape energy. Energy is the basis for everything - including the pursuit of God, self-purification, meditation, awakening, all that. When a purified being goes to the mountains to meditate in a cave, there is still energy enacting that. Even when no-self is recognized, energies are still present. When anything is happening, it’s because of an energy, even if this isn’t recognized or focused on. Different energies are of different quality. Some could be described as lower, more dense. Some are higher and lighter. The energetic world is a diverse tapestry. And what is Energy itself, being the substrate of all the energies? Worth dwelling upon.

Learn to have fun by doing what you genuinely want to do. HAVE FUN! You don’t need to go to a boring cafe with a girl. What would you genuinely want to do? Invite her to play badminton, or ping pong, or take her to a God damn arcade, invite her to fucking bet on horses, whatever man. I went to a dancing lesson evening with my girl on our second date. I don’t dance well but I did dance, and had fun. Being loose and doing what you want is key.

With a woman: be detached, have fun, lead but without expectation or insistence. An attitude of: I don’t care, let’s have fun together, you and I! Come with me, play! I will lead you! And if you don’t want to - cool, it was nice to meet you, I’m going somewhere else then, bye. Consider that the outcome you could care about is having fun together. That you can insist on.

You might be too tense. Fuck it, what do you care? Just have fun! 🍾🎈 Elaboration: it is a matter of skill to fluidly enter a state of not caring and just having fun. Practice entering that state, for your own enjoyment. It’ll be good.

Don’t measure others by your own yardstick.

@Davino All the people and circumstances inspiring us in life are the beautiful love and gift of God / Reality / Fate. Fate doing its thing guiding us to our inevitable self-discovery. Throwing wake-up calls at us. Leo is Reality. And you, and your post, are mine. I appreciate your sharings. Thank you for posting. ❤️

Very nice! DMT is my next step as well.

Good for you! Your parents are cool for letting you do your thing for 6 months. Now, go get 'em!

Purification.

Anyone excited for Hollow Knight: Silksong coming out tomorrow? This game is going to be fire. I really enjoyed Hollow Knight, so I'll definitely play Silksong at some point. Even though I'm not that much into video games anymore.

That’s a bold decision. I respect that. I actually deleted my 9-year steam account last year, with unique souvenir items and such. Mostly due to Team Fortress 2, which I sunk a lot hours into and was quite good at. This year, however, I made the new account solely to play the new Deltarune and Silksong. And it’s been cool. I don’t have a PC anymore as well, so I won’t be able to play shooter games anyway.

Okay, so I completed the game (first ending) and I have to say, this game is hard as fuck sometimes. A 10-phase arena that only gets harder with each phase kinda broke me. The game is definitely harder than it's predecessor. Still, it's a masterpiece to me. A work of genius.

😂 Where are you chatting with them?

Preety’s been doing some wild stuff after being banned from the forum, huh? Next thing we know, another prominent figure is assassinated by Buck Edwards.

This site is unusable to me sometimes with these errors, especially on mobile.

Excellent attitude. Just impeccable. Will get you far. 👍

Did you post this ironically? I lost braincells listening to this.

This is so God damn cool:

Post them math videos. Especially those which have broadened your understanding in a cool way, sparked your curiosity, reminded You of the nature of the universe somehow.

@Meeksauce Nice work! Yes, solipsism is the case, awesome that you awoke to it. But I’d say be wary of the concept of God communicating with you. There IS truth to it, but there’s also a myriad of ways you can delude yourself about it. Remember that thoughts perceiving „communication” and interpreting it to mean something can VERY easily be incorrect. So I recommend adopting a stance of not knowing what anything „means”.

When you didn't have to wait 50 years after all.

@StyxNStone @NewKidOnTheBlock I remember you guys. You playing?

I was posting such cool trip reports on the forum back in the days. 🥲 How nostalgic. That really was something... Leo has always been so encouraging to me. All the Good work! 's, advice and stuff - I can't appreciate that enough. And the words that always still ring in my ears... "But there's more. "

Interesting. Thanks so much for the response. I’ve often been in negative territory on LSD. My assumption has always been that I can work through it - not per se by force/control, but through understanding what causes the entries into negativity and recontextualizing what arises, or integrating things into myself. Just last week I was processing some difficult feelings that arose on my LSD trip 3 months ago, which brought me down. Also, before that particular trip I created a list of the most common feelings that were spiraling me into negativity on trips (dreads, paranoias, etc…), and imagined more positive attitudes/reactions towards them. It helped then.

Interesting. I’m just curious why you think that happens to you. Obviously you are very experienced in the field, so I wonder what things could be arising for you that still feel troublesome - in a let’s say standard-dose LSD trip. If that’s too personal, please disregard.
