i love having engaging spiritual discussions with open minded people who genuinely want to add to the conversation rather than conquer, control and impose their own beliefs... itโs unfortunate most people are too intoxicated by dogma to be that way
Consciousness is a hyperstructure of the nervous system.
We are the macroscopic proof of phase-coherent thought.
A localized rebellion against entropy where simple synaptic firing scales into the infinite complexity of the human experience.
If you are an anomaly, itโs important you find at least one person, preferably more, who is also anomalous in the way that is on your wavelength. And to surround yourself with the ideas and creations of other anomalies that you resonate with. And anomalies of BOTH genders, so you do not develop a complex on this. Otherwise you are very much at risk of a narcissistic worldview.
Being in community with other anomalies you relate to is ideal. It keeps you grounded, challenged, and in touch with reality through mutual recognition. It allows you to take joy in shared experience and wisdom. Isolation, while not ideal, is at least a more honest state, it may be lonely, but at least it only distances yourself from people rather than distorting them. The real danger lies in elevating yourself above others, seeing people as โsheepโ or โNPCs.โ That is where you slip into a narcissistic distortion, mistaking difference for superiority and forgetting the path we all share as human beings on spiritual journeys.
A narcissistic worldview, once it takes hold, begins to orient itself around separation. It scans for difference, sharpens it, and elevates itself, taking smug satisfaction in being the only one, the exception, the outlier. Uniqueness becomes something to defend and prove, rather than something to share or find. Other people are no longer encountered as full realities, but as contrasts, backdrops that make the self as a god feel more distinct.
A healthier orientation still recognizes difference, but it isnโt threatened by sameness. It actively wants to find resonance. It looks for the points of overlap, the unexpected familiarity, the ways in which even very different people carry something recognizable and human. It WANTS to find someone who can relate to that most special and unique part of themself. Instead of guarding uniqueness as some kind of status symbol, it becomes curious about the uniqueness in others.
A therapist gave MDMA to 4,000 patients in secret sessions in Oakland in the 70s.
He called it "Adam" because he believed it returned people to a state of innocence before psychological armor formed.
He trained hundreds of other therapists.
He charged almost nothing.
He never published.

His students called him "the Secret Chief."
The therapists he trained became the network that kept psychedelic therapy alive underground for the next 40 years.
The legend: Leo Zeff.
empires rise and fall, movements come and go, people live and die. Mother Earth is the only thing that seems to outlast everything. I suppose even one day she has to go too. Nothing is permanent so stop clinging so hard.
@Bridge__Burners@JIMMYEDGAR after almost two months clean from it, I think the abusive relationship people develop with it is problematic. If youโre going to use, occasional medicinal use is the way to go imo
BREAKING: A mysterious humming noise has been reported in neighborhoods across several U.S. states, rattling homes and keeping residents awake at night.
Every night human beings go to sleep, lose all sense of their known reality, plunge into an abstract hyper-dimensional realm of infinite experience where time collapses, all moments instantly manifest, and then they wake up and just go about their day.
take care of yourself and integrate the shadow so that the Great Plan can work
Donโt get confused
Thatโs not showing care,
Stuck within darkness
Light shows itโs flare
Be a seer
