mandatory lesbian posted:Lol at all the supposed communists who arent atheists, sad to see it folks A good troll is one that is plausibly sincere, but yeah you're still being a bacon rear end redditor right now For anyone sincerely into this stuff, this channel [Religion For Breakfast] is a good gateway into religious literacy in a way that takes a non-polemic/non-apologetic line of inquiry, and embedded in this video specifically is a decent primer on how these concepts are actually pretty messy. Even if it's not strictly on-topic, probably a good primer on this subject given the direction of discussion Like I dunno, interactions between belief and marxism in just about everywhere it's implemented are infinitely more complex than "good marxists are atheists" which is a dogma that has never mapped onto reality, fyi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N2LG_pkQnU

Lib and let die posted:Religious literacy is also an incredibly useful tool for upsetting the most dyed-in-the-wool libertarians. I guess religious literacy isn't just an in-depth understanding of a given belief system, but is more meta than that. A decent comparison is that I am learning a language right now, but I am not studying linguistics in a broader sense. Your actual knowledge of scripture here was useful, and in a sense more genuine than the person you were discussing those matters with, at least in how it maps onto behavior reasonably derived from christian scripture, but that's not religious literacy in the way I mean.

Given the shift in discussion I feel like I should point out that my dumb lil gag from earlier was not meant to indicate an encounter with the divine, or something approaching an NDE, or anything like that in the experiences I've been having in these sessions. I've actually been really cautious about that, because over the past few years it's become increasingly apparent to me that I really *want* those experiences, because my brain has desperately needed a break from a lifetime of crippling thanatophobia. Where the experiences have been really surprising is how ontologically ruminant they've been. All I can seem to keep my focus on at the height of the experiences is the relational qualities between my sense of self (or what remains of it) and the spaces I'm exploring and inhabiting, which often feel like the same thing. I feel like when I'm in it, there's something about those qualities that I understand and understand implicitly, but I don't carry that knowledge outside of the trip: it's as though the cognition I experience in that space is, for lack of a better description, incompatible with my waking kit. Language-wise I've been able to trace outlines and describe shapes of these thoughts and feelings, but I just can't access them as completely. if my sadsack agnostic biases toward feeling anything are pointing in any specific direction during these trips, it hasn't been the divine -- it's been toward the very idea of subjective experience. When I'm in it I feel like I can appreciate just how truly, mind-bogglingly, breathtakingly loving bizarre it is to be alive, to feel, and to think. I feel like if I've been given any kind of insight along this process, it's that we're right to be puzzled, and that's 100% enough for me. typhus has issued a correction as of 16:24 on Oct 26, 2022 |

Yeah, it actually look me quite a while to understand that the guy I know with a doctorate in theology that is a Christian doesn't mean that he has a "doctorate in Christianity" but literally just what it says it is: a doctorate in the study of religious history

Was this from the ketamine therapy, by any chance? Because of all of this sounds very familiar (speaking as someone who is, uh, quite familiar with the substance). Especially the feeling, every time I go back to that particular realm/mode/space of consciousness, of "oh yeah...how did I ever forget this?". I feel a deep connection with my surroundings and with other people; the boundaries become incredibly porous. That's where I'm on a moderate dose, anyway. When I go towards the Hole then all bets are off. I've gone deep down into the wells of consciousness a few times this year, sometimes a lot further than I meant to/desired, though it was always welcome in the end. Some of it has been heavily inflected by this thread. I jotted something down in my journal about one time, I'll see if I can dig it out when I get off work

mandatory lesbian posted:Lol at all the supposed communists who arent atheists, sad to see it folks Have you ever done 3.5g or better mushrooms? One strong tab or two middling tabs of acid? It's not common to have that experience without experiencing at least briefly the Oneness of all things. Religion derives therefrom. The psychedelic trip is not the only way to achieve this transpersonal experience but it is the quickest way. Unrelated: All the researchers and YouTube parapsychologists and HighStrangeness, /r/afterlife, and /r/experiencers people I'm reading and listening to regularly all have glowing things to say about past life regression. I'm not sold but figured it wouldn't do any harm to have a firsthand experience so I did a lookup and called the nearest PLR hypnotist. Five hundred loving dollars??!

Barry Foster posted:Was this from the ketamine therapy, by any chance? Yeah. It started off slowly and gently, but yesterday was infusion #5 and the first time I felt like I really scraped at the ineffable. I don't think I've fully k-holed yet but god drat if it doesn't feel like I'm close. And your journal entry sounds extremely familiar (and thanks for sharing!); the only major difference is that I've not yet encountered anything that feels like an other in any capacity. I'm not conjuring visions of people or animals or anything: it's just me, myself, and an all-encompassing geometry of thought and being. I loving love it. Best gift I've ever given myself.

If they charged more reasonably they could've actually ripped me off. Huge L frankly I want to try it and see if it's bunk. I mean regardless of its truth I'm going to be talking to my subconscious in some capacity which is itself worth the (a reasonable) price of admission assuming that trance and/or meditative states enable that communication which I think is highly well evidenced

Remember that episode of the Animatrix where the one guy was breaking out of the matrix because he was so good at running? It’s pretty much like that. You just gotta hit level cap at <whatever> then you can spec into a different plane of reality.
