@Aaron p It is not forcing a word if it’s the most accurate word to describe the situation! That’s the issue. You are the one who has a weird outlook not the mainstream media.

What the... It is a war. What does that even mean, "invasion", what the fuck are you talking about? It's a full-fledged military conflict in the middle of Europe. A few hundred thousand people have already died and there's milions and milions of migrants due to the fighting. Either wake up to the facts, or look up in the dictionary what does the word "war" mean. It's amusing that you say you know nothing of politics, then proceed to say some really weird things about geopolitics in the same thread. Kind of like Trump, but he would have never admitted to knowing nothing, so you have already outgrown our orange guy by a lot in the political awarness department.

@integral It doesn’t sound stupid at all, the smell receptors have similar structure to brain receptors and smelling something activates the brain in general. So why not, maybe you are built so that the reaction to smells is too strong and hits the wrong parts of the nervous system.

That's crazy pricing. I have paid $40 for Tycho's concert. I would much rather do that again, than pay $100 for some random club in Vegas with some shitty DJ's playlist.

I hear this everytime I read about rats on the blog. Rats

It's required to sustain the results of your last 200 hrs retreat until the next one. It's not as beneficial if it's the only thing you are doing. If you have 1-2 hrs I think it's better to do yoga, because you can still the mind but also work the body.

This is a very bad point. I wouldn’t want to live in rural Tibet even 100 years ago, where I could have gotten easily robbed or raped. Simple rural people burn forests to create a little bit of farmland. That and there are many other problems with this point.

DMT is all about the dose. The problem is, when you dose high enough, it’s almost always a different type of high? I don’t remember ever getting two similar high dose experiences, and I don’t mean that in terms of contents, but also „structure.” I crave going back to a „fractal of pure beauty” but cannot find it anymore, only once randomly, on a random meadow, looking at random grass, eh… The most popular motif for me is black void, some crazy stuff happens in it, but still emptiness in the background dominate. Even if a crazy casino carnival type of thing is happening, it’s an experience painted on a black void. The void breaks into colors like lava starting to move or cells of a green leaf growing. When I experience God, then I am the void and I get twisted like a table cloth into the „shape of God.”

Because those countries had had that episode, but already outgrew it. In Poland, between around 1500-1800 polish nobility had believed that they are descendants of ancient Sarmatians, powerful conquerors. I think that if one were to dig, they would find similiar stories in each and every of the countries you have mentioned.

@Leo Gura The metamodernism guys, Daniel Görtz and his friends, that's Yellow for sure. And quite a bit of business people Laloux writes about in "Reinventing Organizations" seems solid Yellow, for example Patagonia's founder Yvon Chouinard.

@Nemra In my country there are actually quite a few good contemplative Christian monasteries you can go ona a retreat to. Although, they require payment upfront, Buddhist retreats, like Goenka's Vipassana are often gift-economy based, as in pay now what you can, support us long-term or help with cleaning and cooking on the next retreats. Christians are more conventional and offer a clear-cut service.

Based. I send love to Martin Ball.

Thanks God I deviate slightly to the autistic side and that's exactly what I dig. I can eat curry everday for 30 years. Love and relationship success awaits me!

I have always heard from people with autoimmune disorders that psychedelics are taxing for them. I've never had an oppurtunity to discuss the issue as to why exactly, sadly. Me, as a person with allergies, I benefit greatly from psychedelics. LSD downregulates the whole histamine system, I can get bitten by giant flies on a trip with no reaction, while normally I would have a rash on half of my upper leg. Hay fever also goes away, but only for a few hours, less, than the whole trip lasts, but there's zero allergy at the peak, so that's important, I can have a peak experience on a beauftiful meadow even in the middle of a summer.

Owen is a predator marketer first who just stumbled upon dating niche and then saw it’s profitable. He is an expert in dating second. It’s not a story of an expert who successfully marketed his services, it’s a story of a marketer who took a persona of an expert, because why not, why would I share profits with someone else, when I can promote their materials AND then promote myself too, getting 100% of profit for myself and at least 50% of profit of all his pua partners.
