Three things that come to mind: It’s wise to face fears in a strategic manner. Facing fears in a rash manner is not strategic and can only lead you more confused in the long run. Unconditional love and acceptance for everything doesn’t mean that you let people walk all over you or give into idiot compassion. This is a major trap my mother fell into, for example, and unfortunately becomes a playground for devilry that you yourself become blind to. For example, you become so “selfless” that you let people steal your money for decades without ever questioning it. You just believe that it’s “God’s will”. “Even if you find yourself stuck in a hell chamber filled with boiling lava and you get to be there forever. You must love that.” You as God don’t have to choose to live like that. In this case, you’re choosing not to being a victim to your own imagination. That’s also love!

Of course, and I’m sure others here have to. Otherwise we wouldn’t be talking about it constantly Imagine being so conscious that not only are you the only ONE in existence; EVERYTHING is YOU! But not in some cute human way. You literally are way way way beyond human at such a high consciousness. It’s no joke, and chances are it will freak you the fuck out the first time you experience this. This is probably what Leo mean by going Alien Insane.

Let’s give the aliens some psychedelics…. for science.

What can’t God dream of?

I admit, recently I’ve been “degrading rapidly” after I started to face my fears more.

Gaaaaayyyyy

I used to be really needy and want things from the girl I talk to, but she caught up to my antics and kicked my ass (metaphorically). I’ve had to most utmost respect for her ever since.

Interesting, I was just talking about clowns an hour ago!

I have no idea why I’m laughing while reading all these comments. It’s making my day I’m also reading them in reverse order

I’m seeing my cannabis doctor in about week. Gonna ask him if I can try a high CBD formula again (20:1 CBD:THC). The last time I took it was 2 years ago, but at the time the experience was too intense. My sober sense of self completely went bye-bye. Definitely gonna start at a small dose if he allows me to try it again.

It’s also interesting how fear works. As I’ve said in another thread, you can have someone who is deathly afraid of clowns, but another who finds them amusing and a source of joy.

Maybe the aliens will help us with that.

AI would like to answer your question! GPT-4: Bard:

What do you mean by sober state?

I’m a plant.

The fact that you’re facing your fears sincerely is already a step in the right direction. Don’t underestimate that, despite how difficult it is. You’ll be thankful you did later down the line.

Lately, I’ve been exposing myself to many problems that I’ve been avoiding. For example, house maintenance tasks. Our house is only 3 years old. But today I just discovered a broken irrigation pipe in our backyard that wasn’t installed properly. I regret not checking this out years ago. Now I’m paying the price for my negligence ?

I think opening up to your girlfriend about this would help, if you haven’t told her yet. Let’s see what she thinks.
