LSD. Lots. Psilocybe mushrooms. Fewer. Amanita muscara. Once. Overdose.
Now nothing, for several years.
Hallucinogens may indicate there is something wrong with people.
But in themselves, they remain part of what is wrong.
Breathing, as in meditation, can get to that state that hallucinogens can only hint at.
Who could have guessed it?

You just summed up what most people are about, and why their lives are so devoid of meaning.
Base, animalistic automation.
Such people live through their orifices.
Nothing else exists, for them.
One thing worth looking forward to, in advancing age, is reaching a state where this is not necessarily so.
You can live through your ass, or through your soul.
Sometimes, you can live through both.
An over-fixation with either one may not be ideal, but if you're gonna fixate...

Chasm / What was 'God'?
« on: April 11, 2012, 05:36:54 PM »
Before being sidelined, dismantled, explained, and 'understood' by all-knowing, omniscient, intelligent people, God was that perfect leader people seek.
"Who can we trust?" People wonder.
"Who is wise and powerful, constant and benign?"
Who else but God?
But who is God?
Or rather, what was God, before we did away with Him?
Because it was the idea of a who, as opposed to a what, that did the deed.
Humans drifted into ego, which is a who.
And away from an it, which is distinct from the self.
It becomes a simple matter of perspective:
Focusing on 'who', instead of 'what', is at the heart of the dysfunction of modern man.
Which carries more power and purpose?
"I am a man." Or: "I am Henry"?
Henry is only Henry. He may be smart. He may be strong. But still, he is only Henry.
But when a man is Man, he is the whole of mankind.
Created in God's image. Of God. Godlike, in his way.
God is what is, whether or not men see Him as what was.
Like a wall-socket: there to be plugged into. Or not.
The power-source. Used, or not used.
Intellect is a poor substitute for all the power of the universe.

Chasm / Re: Science vs. Spirituality.
« on: April 11, 2012, 05:00:24 PM »
Spirituality is power. It's as simple as that.
Science is the illusion of power, and a double-edged sword, too often used to destroy, rather than create.
A spiritual adept has no need of science: it is a poor substitute for the real thing, which needs no hardware, no instruments, no infrastructure, no physical manifestation.
Try to imagine being everything, everywhere, always. Can science provide that?
Spirituality can.
Science is a way to harness what exists, and turn it to human purpose. Which is sometimes useful.
Spirituality is a way to make use of what exists, while allowing what exists to go on existing, as it was intended to exist.
I have a rabbit. It turned up, one day, out of the forest, and set up camp.
It is a very beautiful rabbit, and it eats my garden.
I could insist on keeping my garden as a garden, and eat the rabbit.
But I would rather enjoy experiencing the rabbit being a rabbit, than keep my garden as it was before the rabbit showed up.
The rabbit is very, very happy, and so am I. It comes indoors, when it wants, and chases the cats. And the raccoons.
The garden, meanwhile, undergoes a re-balancing, as it adapts to being partially eaten by the rabbit, while it gets fertilized with rabbit turds.
It is too soon to tell what the net result will be, but in the meantime, I gaze upon an evolving paradise that I did not manipulate to my own desires.
This brings me satisfaction, and depth of experience, and that, probably, is what spirituality is about.
The rabbit, I am sure, is as happy with this arrangement as I am.
It knows I am its friend.

Spirituality is not a tool.
It is a baseline, reference-point, from which to live life.
Not having a baseline, one is able to say things like: "spirituality is simply a tool".
In fact a life that lacks spirituality is not a life at all.
I know this because I used to have no spirituality.
I had no way of knowing it was essential to life.
Now that I do know, I do what I can to share the revelation.
People often take the position of: "Hey, get off my back; I'm dead and I like it".
Which is fine with me. I understand that the dead have no concept of what it is to be alive.
But being dead, in such large numbers, has a huge effect upon society at large.
Most will agree that there is a problem, with society, that nobody seems able to fix.
I have identified the problem.
It's hardly surprising, is it, that I would be interested in communicating it?

Chasm / Re: Conspiracy theories
« on: April 11, 2012, 08:27:19 AM »
The first time I heard someone claim that 9/11 was an inside job, I shut him up almost immediately.
He was very upset at this, but so was I, at him.
This, I informed him, does not happen in the reality I inhabit.
People do not engineer the deaths of two thousand of their own.
And even if they do, they still don't.
Some places, I just can't, don't, won't go.

Chasm / Intelligent intelligence.
« on: April 11, 2012, 05:55:39 AM »
Some smart fellas hang out here. That was never in question.
But most are young, and that can be a problem, as well as a strength.
Nobody of intelligence did a damn thing to be intelligent.
It's like a girl being pretty. She came out that way.
The young have a fatal flaw: things are two dimensional, to youth.
Intelligence is a multi-faceted thing. It has depth. If it doesn't, it's not intelligence.
You can be plenty smart while being seen as plenty dumb.
You can be a wrecking ball, or a computer-guided welding machine.
The object is to use intelligence intelligently.
Fail at that, and you're no better than a dummy, and every bit as vulnerable.
You also don't fight, unless fighting is called-for.
The smartest smart guy hides what he's got.
Not to be dishonest, but because it's smart.
No point nuking a cockroach.
This place is often more like a riot than a forum of emerging ubermen.
It also gets to look like a one-man show, complete with bullying and boorishness.
Who will win, this week?
Who will depose him next?
It doesn't need to be that way.
Cooperation is the key to any kind of power, except personal power.
Excuse me if I got it wrong, but this forum is not about personal power, is it?

« on: April 11, 2012, 05:22:54 AM »
All things considered, I would advocate handing the whole mess over to the Jews, and petitioning them to run it properly.
They are proven more intelligent than anyone else, and in addition, there is something I have noticed, that never gets reported on or researched:
They actually use that intelligence in an intelligent way.
Now that's a rare thing.

You started the crow thread, not me.
You made it to make me 'look weak'.
How'd that work out for you?
Perhaps the angels of doom are creeping up on you, Wolfie.
They're probably not especially keen on jew-genociders.

« on: April 11, 2012, 12:30:36 AM »
I don't think the primeval forest needs deathmetal to enable its return.
But maybe deathmetal needs the primeval forest, to justify itself.
Like most things human.
