Calvinist god is an anti-social narcissist.
He creates beings that he didn’t have to, so he can show them just how glorious he is: by sending almost all of them to eternal torment to suffer and see his revealed judgement/justice because he made them defective to begin with and refused to regenerate them, and by showing mercy to a chosen few who get to marvel at his revealed glory for eternity.
@LDS_Dems@RealTStevenson Super TDS, man. The left/Dem hatred of self and country goes back 20 years or more.
You are looking at the US through a hatred-colored straw. That’s a “you-problem”.
@staleyexpress@Awurabena2 It really isn’t MY fault that you don’t know very many words, so you complaint when people use them.
Your mom accidentally left this, I assume she needs it for you:
Got this question in the DM's about "oneshotting" in psychedelics. I get asked it a lot.
It's probably the #1 fear keeping people from trying it.
Who *wouldn't* be afraid of getting permanently rewired during a trip?
Here's my answer:
First off, it's extremely rare to have lasting *negative* psychological events. It's less than 1% in the studies I've researched. There's also a ton of subjectivity here, what one person views as a negative experience is another's 'doing the work'.
Second, the one-shotting is more associated with large doses of ayahuasca and harsher hallucinogens than we do at our retreats.
We have two options generally: mushrooms/psilocybin, or Unity which is a microdose of several different hallucinogens. You're doing a relatively low dose in both cases, there's just not enough in there to freak you out for life, to be blunt.
The Unity is the most gentle psychedelic experience I have ever had. No harsh, agitated "liftoff" that some medicines are known for, the come down is as soft and comfortable as any I've ever had. And the trip itself is probably one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.
Third, the set and setting are actually just as important as the dose. Hoot (our facilitator/shaman) creates a container that is so gentle, peaceful, uplifting, positive, that everyone's (so far) takeaway is lifechanging in a positive direction. That's the real magic to his ceremony, the dosage and medicine is just one part of it.
The settings I've heard about one-shotting tend to be large groups (as many as 50 trippers) with relatively few facilitators (I've read the ratio is 20:1 in some places). This is a recipe for disaster and you can see how this environment (a bunch of wigged out trippers running around and not enough facilitators to help them) could have a damaging effect.
Our events are 5:1 and often less. Many providers are doing 1:1. This is a far better set up.
Finally, I'd like to see some of the infamous "oneshotters" a year or so after their trip. The stories you hear of people coming home and upending their lives, many of those turned out for the better, I'm guessing.
Quitting your job, selling your business, ending a toxic marriage, changing your life - that's exactly what some people need and want.
More importantly, those seeds usually were sown long before they took the dose. The medicine revealed the truth - it didn't insert it.
For 99% of psychedelics users the #1 outcome is CLARITY. They see their lives, their past, their spirituality with clear eyes for the first time.
AMA...
@ReelPressence@Mormonger@vespa_the_goat “Find the peace?” Your lack of piece is what led you to open your stupid mouth against someone else’s faith showing you know jack shit about it, and then double down with insults when called out on it.
I at least started with insulting you…deservedly.
Well, I can totally see why you can't get more than 1 person to listen to you at a time.
Ya boring.
Ya basic.
You're a waste of my time. Have a great time sitting alone in the dark at the movies and then posting your thoughts (such as they are) to no one listening.
Or you could just thought-vomit-reply on other people's X posts and maybe trick someone into engaging with you for 15 min again. I know *I* won't be tricked again.

Also, not interested in getting people like you (morons) anywhere near my faith (which is not 'Mormonism').
...aaaand you had an opportunity and whiffed it by:
- not knowing the discourse
- not knowing its (lack of) importance in LDS thought (not to mention its non-canonicity)
- and not even having the reading comprehension to understand Deut 13.
Ya basic. Log off and go make something of your life because you're a waste of electrons here.
