Absurdist humor, contrasting statements do all the work 😌

Or they just want to go very fast from A to B. They have problems sitting still on a beach. "Underdeveloped" or perhaps tormented. I suspect some response to or unresolved childhood trauma is involved (they witnessed their father die in front of them when young, they were alone and started CPR, the paramedics said "you did well" yet their father never returned). It's something about coming very close to death when you're young that could make you very "death-like" (Shiva the Destroyer, "now we let this thing die and this other thing live", out with the old, in with the new, A -> B, throw away that, focus on this, shaping reality over engaging deeply with a single aspect, pruning, shaving off, rather than embracing, including, becoming rather than being, pursuit rather than presence).

If your Te is strong enough, all clutter is an insult to your existence. I know a person like this. No shoes visible in the house, they're inside a closet. No places for hanging your coat, they also go in the closet or on the stairway if you're a visitor. They throw away 800$ speakers without asking if somebody wants them. Generally just throw away things like there is no tomorrow (or past, they seem to keep only a bare minimum things from the past). "Nothing is better than an empty shed!" (direct translated quote). Everything in their house is super efficient: one switch turns on all the lights in the house, the kitchen is organized with extreme care for where things are located (dishes only travel a meter from the dishwasher to the dish drawer), "tall freezers with shelves", the kitchen drawers can be opened by pushing them rather than pulling them (and they have brakes when you close them so you can just send them and they're almost inaudible). "This thing is incredible" (talking about their central heating unit). All rooms, doors and walls are extremely well-insulated.

Tell me more.

You don't know if I'm standing outside your door with a 35 inch dildo waiting to ram it down your peehole. Imagine being so closeminded to not entertain that seriously. You should be sitting awake at night thinking about that all the time (I'm not making a threat; your peehole is safe with me), hell we should make a 1000 post thread on it right now.

Yep. If they can't slap religious fanatic label on you, they will slap cult label on you. It's that simple. Belief and Biology by Robert Sapolsky (April 2003): https://ffrf.org/fttoday/april-2003/articles-april-2003/belief-and-biology/

Imagine you tell somebody you know that you're in a spiritual community where the leader believes they can turn into an alien. And then tell me that they will not say you're in a cult.

Try meditating on a plane.

Even if he thinks awakening is sucking poo water through his nostrils, he has no idea whether he is the best in the world at that. This is a general problem of epistemology of having worldwide 100% knowledge and if you can't see that, you're honestly sucking poo water through your nostrils. And if he means "I'm the best in the world from my perspective", or "I'm the best in the world at doing my own very specific thing that nobody else does down to each individual hair on my scrotum because they are not me", to say that makes no fucking sense. You see, some statements just make no fucking sense despite how much you want to twist and contort them. You're making it incredibly difficult for me to not just constantly scream "sociopath" every time I read anything you write because it's so shifty and groundless and fake. But here you go.

So many people got their lives literally destroyed by these things. And we're supposed to trust the doctors, the "experts". Nothing saves you from being diligent and cautious and looking at things thoroughly from many angles before deciding on something that might change your life forever, "doing your own research", no matter how hijacked that notion has become. If you blindly trust a machine that treats incredibly serious side effects as business as usual, you can ultimately only blame yourself and your own ignorance. (NOTE, VERY IMPORTANT: I'm not saying you should stop taking psychiatric medication if you're currently on them or that you should reject them if you're in a truly urgent medical situation. But you should sure as hell think twice about starting them if you have the choice and you're not in a truly urgent medical situation. And if you are currently on them, you should consider looking for legitimate medical options for tapering off them safely).

It's two very different things to claim to read people's state by being with them (virtually or in person) versus claiming to know the state of any person you have never been with or could ever be with. Reading someone else's state by being with them is quite straightforward. It's called empathy. But some things require more subtle attention and perception to know how to read. I know some people who probably couldn't read a saint from a rock. But yes, the issue of claiming to be more awake than anybody in the entire world goes way beyond the issue of reading people. It's about making firm statements of things outside your experience or evidence (which is not to embrace solipsism; it's to acknowledge that you haven't met or don't know about every person in the world). And even if you do meet or know about somebody, your knowledge of them can be flawed. So even then, firmly claiming one way or another will be most likely a mistake of epistemology (if your epistemology is sensitive to any form of nuance or probability).

OMG LOL haha What do you think about Big Jan (RIP; he's not called that, that was a joke; Jan Esmann)?:

That image is the funniest thing I've seen in a damn while.

As long as you do what you want and be honest and authentic about that. God will show you what you need anyway.

I would be careful about giving out trophies like this "great work!". It's obvious that the main issue is about letting go. All the "insights" are linguistic mind stuff and feelings (which if you like that, all power to you, but they seem like distractions in this case from the real issue of letting go). Psychedelics don't make you let go. They can only make it more clear that you're not letting go, that is if you don't distracted by the noise your ego makes when reacting to it. At the end of the day, only you let go. And the process for this is very simple. And if you feel like you don't know how to let go or you want to let go but you don't feel you can do it, find out how you can get to that place. It might just be living life asking yourself what do you want. And the more you do that, eventually you arrive at a place where letting go is what you want. For this, psychedelics can be a major distraction (again, because you can get lost in mind stuff). The saying "put down the phone when you got the message" is for this. Those who have taken psychedelics many many times seem to sooner or later arrive at this place where the letting go issue becomes blatantly obvious, but they can still get lost in the noise. And perhaps, that's when the experiences start to get more difficult. It becomes harder to ignore and getting lost in the noise becomes increasingly futile and dissatisfying. And to somebody on the outside, when you describe getting to that place, it becomes easy to identify the oscillating back and forth between running into the wall of having to let go and then retreating back into mind creations.

You let go yet?

1. If you want, look up all the people who have left either quietly or loudly in the last few years and their reasons for it. The Reddit thread I linked is a microcosm of that. That there are a few who have decided to ride through it or have other reasons for staying doesn't negate those numbers. But even in the worst cults you can imagine, people stay, so what does it tell you really? "Leaving" as a metric for how bad it is just doesn't work very well either way. "They were brainwashed". Ok, then are you brainwashed? 2. I can write a 50 paragraph post on literally nothing and that will be a normal day. Besides, my intellectual investment was honestly in talking about what a cult is and then the cult members got emotional. The most emotional I've got here was because one person doesn't know how to have a discussion without treating it like a one-up-man contest. And that was an issue in other threads as well entirely unrelated to this one.

Solipsism makes sense if you're a spergy narc.

Self-fellating The symbol-depth (not tied to concept) style of communicating is familiar to me as a person with half bipolar genes. The tendency towards clanging is deep within me.

Less trying to speak to a child, more speaking coherently with what I have to say. If there is a word you don't understand, that's one Google search. That doesn't mean I will never explain or elaborate. But not every slightly mighty word every time it's used.

At some point I stopped trying to speak so damn "neutered" and be more free. Schizo would call it being phallic.

😢

Regardless, it's just bot running down the script. A serious engagement would not make the cognitive hallucination that giving a con means you have to leave.

Would you say others don't even exist inside your own mind, or do they exist inside your own mind?
