  1. As I’ve mentioned before with AI tools, you can literally make anything up. Of course, there are consequences to doing that. Name me one person, technology, group, species, company, religion, etc. that isn’t making anything up?
  2. You need to be doing methods that’s appropriate for your current state and conditioning. For example, I did loads of therapy in the past, but it was actually counterproductive because it made my OCD worse. Yes, talk therapy can actually make OCD worse. In a similar way how diabetics need a certain diet and medications to help manage their condition. But, yes, massive experience and failures will eventually lead you in the right direction, but avoiding doing any action out of fear of doing the “wrong” things is actually the worst possible thing to do.
  3. We can ask those same questions about humans as well. There’s an infinite amount of different types of experiences humans have that we simply ignore or filter out because it doesn’t help us maintain our own worldview or survival. For example, someone with cancer experiences life differently than someone with bipolar disorder. And that’s just one out of a million other scenarios you can come up with (and we haven’t even addressed age, culture, religion, gender, sexuality, etc.). The point I’m making is that our understanding of how humans perceive the reality is still extremely limited (whether one wants to admit that or not is up for debate), so adding aliens on top of that is truly a mindfuck.
  4. Science, group-think, human logic, academia, materialism, spiritual gurus… all of that is also a distraction. This problem is more serious than you think. Also needing to validate profound spiritual experiences from Leo Gura… probably one of the top 3 biggest traps in this work.
  5. All relationships and your identification with them will need to be seriously deconstructed if want to understand higher / deeper truths. No way can your current way of relating to reality survive or be maintained at these higher states of consciousness (no, I’m not talking about suicide being the answer). Furthermore, not willing to explore beyond your current paradigm is what keeps you stuck; there’s a bountiful amount of defense mechanisms that prevent you from doing so in the first place. Unlike with some other spiritual traditions, the work we’re doing is not about avoiding relationships, nor is it about merely improving current ones and striving to making them peaceful and “perfect” based on others’ standards. Instead, what we’re after is having a profound and intuitive understanding of what any and all relationships fundamentally are. We need to be very clear on how they shape our worldview and identity. This is not going to happen automatically and effortlessly, hence why it can appear to feel like “dying”.
  6. @StarStruck what even is your definition of “Love”?
  7. Given that Elon Musk impulsively changed “Twitter” to “X” recently without any serious pushback from those close to him makes me think otherwise.
  8. Given that materialism and science dominates our mainstream society, it’s very easy to rationalize anything using scientific evidence. So would it be considered lying if, for example, a therapist claims that psychedelics don’t work for mental illness because there’s not enough scientific evidence to back up those claims? Why do we rely heavily on science to validate things for us?
  9. Humans are too Maybe if I ask ChatTPG if death is imaginary over 100 times in various different ways, it will finally concede and agree that it is, indeed, imaginary.
  10. Thank you for the advice. I was starting to suspect something was off last night when I asked it for recommendation on something as simple as bedding products. I asked it something ridiculous like, “any bed encasings that protect against pesticides?”. It then said, “you can buy a mattress encasing that are labeled “pesticide-resistant” or pesticide-proof”.” Of course, GPT-4 completely made those terms up and you can’t actually find products like that. Haha, I just noticed that you incorrectly referred to it as ChatGTP. Doing things “wrong” is a beautiful validation for how tricky reality can be
  11. Your experience is definitely relatable. After I did my ketamine sessions it also “revealed” a bunch of trauma in the weeks after my final session. But here’s the thing: I wouldn’t have gotten the proper therapy or help had it not been for that “activation”. Before doing ketamine I would mask my mental illness and pretend to be fine to everyone around me. So, if anything, it has actually helped me in the long run actually face and understand my mental health conditions rather than avoid them entirely.
  12. Time will tell. But from my own experience using stimulant medication for ADHD (specifically Vyvanse), the effects eventually become less reliable (i.e. it only lasts a few hours instead of a full day); so I have to have the dose increased to see if that helps. I’ve tried using Adderall as a booster 4-5 hours after taking Vyvanse. While it -also helped at first, continuous use ruins my sleep, so I decided it’s best to stop using it. It also made me more paranoid.
  13. Any answer anyone gives will always have a bias! In any case, GPT-4 is currently trained only up to September 2021. But just for shits and giggles here it is:
  14. Let’s see what GPT-4 thinks about the statements made. Feel free to expand or fact check GPT-4: GPT-4: ======== GPT-4:
  15. What about people? Are there facts and evidence for their existence, or is that just a belief?
  16. Maybe some weed can help loosen you up.
  17. Shitty experiences are an opportunity for growth and purpose. For example, if you hire a company and they treat you like shit, then you can learn to be careful with which companies you hire in the future and also call them out for their greediness. This example hits hard for me, because I’ve had plenty of companies do that. I used to endure it and not say anything (being a humble little bitch), but I learned that by being silent and doing nothing, you are just asking for everybody to step all over you.
  18. I’d be interested to see how the research will change once drugs like ketamine, MDMA, and mushrooms get more research done in the next 10-20 years. Also, if depression is still a major problem all across the world (even in the US), then can we really say that SSRIs work in the grand scheme of things?
  19. @josemar why the hell is the US so special?
  20. @Jehovah increases “sextillion“, lmfao.
  21. Finding a walking group would be cool. Have you heard of Meetup? I wonder if there any any walking groups in your area.
  22. You must be right, given that this is your 777th post.
  23. A bully once convinced me that I had PTSD. Thankfully, my therapist was able to clarify why I don’t. Many symptoms with OCD overlap with PTSD, but despite that they are two distinct mental health conditions.
