I feel like, there are times in life where you can simply not change your situation, and there's nothing you can do about it. I don't know what your situations are, but I assume they are bad, and that that is what causing you to experience this dread and disconnection. Perhaps the best thing you can do is come up with an idea on how to change your situations and then do that. And until then, try to minimize your own suffering and take good care of yourself.

This is actually a big dilemma for me because it seems so useless to always turn on turning signals, even for tiny turns or when nobody's there. But then I'm not always so sure when it really matters to turn on the signals 🤔 On roundabouts I think they're pretty essential. Also on scooters this is the worst, because you have to do the signals manually and you can't really feel if it's going left / right / off and I was driving with muffs that blocked the visual display of them on the dashboard so I would wayyyy too often have them subconsciously be turned on for long periods of time. And when I saw another scooter that did this I was like come on bro just turn it off what are you doing?! 🤣

Yes. Do you not do this? Whenever I meet someone new, I always evaluate how drinkable they are. The more liquid someone seems the more irresistible they are to me. Jokes aside, one of the latest astrological things I learned is that everyone has a descendant sign. Everyone also has an ascendant sign, which is pretty well known, which describes your extraverted nature and personality. Now, the descendant is the opposite of the ascendant and describes the type of person you're interested in. For instance my ascendant is in Leo (5th sign) and so my descendant is in aquarius (11th sign) and it makes sense to me because I've always had an interest in strange and offbeat people, and one of the essential characteristics of aquarius is eccentricity.

@Jowblob Pls respond

Haha. Well this gives me hope. I guess 5-MeO does something with a man's humility ?

Lolz. On point. Y'all can consider me… SOUND ASLEEP!!!╰( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )つ──☆*:・ﾟ

Damn? The matrix might soon to come to fruition... Good thing it doesn't do things for itself yet. At least, as far as we know...

?? I have come to the realization... that the narrative of love and beauty and bliss 24/7 is nonsense ?. I used to believe in it. Then I found out that all the teachers who preached this were human too and suffered in the human condition just as much as anyone else. Some of them were even very nasty. Yes, they did have experiences that they used to rationalize their beliefs, and I am aware that Leo has experienced some very intense energetic events, but... when they play a game of "I am the most awake person on the planet!", how can I take them serious? What sort of wise teacher would play a game of "enlightenment competition" with his peers? What sort of love is that? I had a friend just like that. I really adored him. He was really fanatical about mushrooms. Really fanatical. Y'all think you've taken mushrooms? Well, not like this! He took them multiple times a day, for several years ?. He was really nuts. He called them his vitamins and would take a normal human dose in the morning and function normally on it. Hell, he said he did his best work while on mushrooms! He kept increasing his dosages too, his highest dose was about 100-150g dry. And guess what... he came to the same realization as Leo, that HE is the ONLY awake person! The only gateway in the world! He suspected he might ascend soon, and figured that if he would go, the entire world would cease to exist, for he was at the center of it. The world never ceased to exist... ?Maybe we are all still waiting for him to ascend... Also... the bear ? Much confusion...! And that's a nice song. Yeah... ? I feel like my own journey into spirituality was based on my desire to die. After all, the goal of spirituality is enlightenment, or, ego-death. And the ego is the self... But it was of course much too inappropriate and embarassing to actually say that I wanted to die so, well, there we go. It's actually really sad. How did life become such a sad mess? I don't even know.

No. I don’t subscribe to the philosophy that I am all and everything. You guys do your thing. I do my own.

Riddle me this. If a 100 people claim they are awake. and Leo says none of them are, only he is. What does that say about the people here? Or about Leo? It means that either everyone is delusional, or everyone except one! I don’t think that’s rational at all ??

Basically this whole forum has become people claiming they are awake and others are not ? While Leo takes on the role of being the most awake because he is the admin ? And everyone is absolutely certain of their position because they will rationally establish proofs of it being so. My goodness. What an incredible circlejerk.

I don't think that's how this works ??

I'm starting to find it slightly terrifying

Hi @Jowblob I see you have achieved great levels of superconsciousness. I was hoping you would share your wisdom by assessing my state of consciousness. I will give you some information about me, I hope this will be enough to make a reasonable assessment. I studied psychology and neuroscience for a bachelor and dropped out after year 2. I became very entranced with meditation, doing it everyday, at my best for up to 1.5 hours a day. Although, in recent years I have dropped it and have been meditating only rarely. I use cannabis in order to relax and think clearly. I have listened to Andrew Tate and I think he's funny. I am curious to find out.

I think we should revise our ideas about spirituality if people get the idea they're the only one existing!! I suppose you could argue that we are all a speck of the cosmos just like our bodies have an absurd amount of cells. But imagine if these cells start to proclaim they're the entire body ?? So no you are not me!! I am me and you are you ?? In the grand scheme of things we're both stardust… but who cares!! Why spend your time being human pretending you're not!

Now start your own garden and grow your own veggies

Ah yes The classic “if I can’t see it, it don’t exist” reasoning! So by that standard, if you don’t experience someone else, they cannot exist, right?! You know this is really disconcerting to me because I thought that I was the only conscious being in existence… but now it seems to be you… Very sad. I really thought I existed on my own. Turns out I am merely a figment of your imagination… On a serious sidenote, don’t y’all think the amount of people claiming to be God on this forum is somewhat pathological and delusional?! Like it’s a fucking race who all gets to be God?! And then even taking it so far as to ask for money, not sure whether to laugh or cry!

OUR LORD & SAVIOR HAS ATTAINED HIS FINAL FORM. ALL MUST WORSHIP HEY THIS IS LEO FROM THIS POINT ON.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude

Aight man I'm also doing some uni stuff on psychedelics. I recently wrote a draft of an introduction (final thing is due in a week) about the clinical relevance of psychedelics. There's actually a LOT of scientific research done and being done atm on psychedelics. David Nichols' paper "Hallucinogens" is the most comprehensive overview of the science in the area I've found so far. You can find some more references/ inspiration in my drafty introduction. Also, the Maps Youtube Channel has most of the recent scientific research presented so you don't have to read those tacky papers hehe. GL boy

Great read! Thanks! Really puts the tryharding of developing yourself in perspective, haha... Also, I really resonate with what you said about this. It makes it so damn strange to interact with humans because you're really just interacting with yourself, just as them. How are you supposed to converse with someone else if you're just talking to yourself? And how can you take someone serious if they're talking to themselves? Great post man, I needed that

@Visionary bro I am Leo and Leo is me if he dies I die separation is illusion man just be

Wow too bad he died man real pity we must surrender our ego's to mourn him. His watch has ended.
