I think sparing oneself the stress of the hellworld can be worth it, but mileage varies. I know it’s saved my mental health more than once.

it’s also saved my rear end on occasion but… it’s a crutch honestly and the more control of my poo poo I am, the less I even want to touch it

but it does gently caress with your dreams and concentration and I recommend everyone trying for extended breaks (when combined with spiritual practice like meditation / gateway tapes / dream journaling etc) and see the difference when using / not using

I’ve been off weed enough to clear my system and had and awesome synchronicity dream last night

there was leftover meat and blood from a dinner (I’m a vegetarian so ?? anyway) and the container for moved and made a huge mess that needed to be cleaned up. I went to look for those Lysol wipes to clean it up and couldn’t find any and had to use a rag.

I woke up and immediately saw some of those Lysol wipes on the counter - we haven’t had any for 6+ months but today they were on sale and my husband bought some (I know they are probably bad for the environment but it’s easier to clean up cat vomit so hey treats are nice)

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

the dreams you get when you go from being blasted out of your mind on dabs all day to zero weed are incredible, highly recommend

you don’t want to be very tired - but you do need to be relaxed. It’s teaching you to have “mind awake / body asleep” so if you did it right before bed you might pass out

but doing it is better than not doing it so find a good time that will create an easily sustainable habit

I have a morning meditation but I do my gateway session around midnight (Maximum Yin energy) after my husband goes to bed and I won’t be disturbed

i was the same - messing around with it every couple of days

then i noticed it was having some sort of an effect and a lot of people were reporting success doing it daily or at least 5x a week over months to a year, so I've started to at least attempt a daily session. I'm still on wave 2 and repeating a lot of tapes.

consistency and not rushing is key for a lot of this i think

e: the question about should I be high is more from the fact this came from the CIA who never met a punch bowl at a party that wasn't worth spiking. wasn't sure if this is a "when in Rome" situation. then again, they were probably mega dosing LSD, not riding a chill high from legal potent weed.

In my experience I've never made it to the end of whatever session I was listening to without falling asleep when doing it at night. That being said I have found it an excellent way to fall asleep. I am not somebody who suffers from any kind of anxiety or second guessing except when I am falling asleep and then my mind goes into overdrive about that bullshit. Putting on a Gateway tape puts me in a very relaxed meditation state with none of those self-deprecating thoughts and then I drift off to a deep and relaxing sleep. It's great.

One of the chapters is specifically meant to be listened to while falling asleep but it's a few in, so you'll have to do some groundwork before getting to it but after that you could definitely use that one daily. I haven't done that myself, as I don't find the process to be conducive to falling asleep personally but I'm kinda particular about that sort of thing, so don't read anything into my experience.

A few weeks back I had this dream where I was determined to say a certain important phrase, but not in wishy-washy dreamtalk, I wanted to really say it out loud. I was struggling to open my mouth and I kept fighting against some force keeping my mouth shut, and the boring dream just kind of continued until I finally managed to blurt it out, and I woke myself up at that moment saying "The more questions we ask, the more complicated it becomes". Or something very similar to that.

Then I went back to sleep! It was neat.

Randomly thought of one of my favourite ufo flaps earlier which was the Hudson valley ufo sightings.

Multiple people saw a large triangular object silently flying overhead and hovering in place over multiple nights.


the other thread sceptics at the time explained it away as being a group of microlight pilots known as the stormville flyers who risked life and limb by only flying at night in close formation and in complete silence despite the fact there is no evidence of any such group ever existing or taking off and landing at nearby airports.

It's a pretty standard skeptic tactic: This one sighting among many could possibly be explained by a hypothetical and exceptionally unusual occurrence so therefore every other sighting from the same flap must be explicable by the same thing, even though said thing happening once is highly improbable and multiple instances are themselves just as improbable individually but because one has a theoretically possible explanation we don't need to investigate anything else.

the first thing i saw about gateway tapes was the CIA doc and it immediately set off alarms, but ive no idea if there's any connections with monroe and the CIA or anything like that

i dunno a lot about it in general to be honest, is it a guided meditation with binaural beats mixed in or is there more to it than that?

I came across an interesting conversation between two users on Fark.com of all places, who appear to be "insiders", talking guardedly about several top secret projects and some related physics papers.

If that sounds dumb, I agree, but this conversation took place in 2004 when the internet was a bit different, and people were perhaps less careful than they are now.

The thread starts with some vague rumour about space laser weapons/platforms. There are a bunch of shitposts that kinda peter out, and towards the end of the thread these two users realise they both have TS clearances and are working on similar projects, and they begin to carefully chat about a few things they have seen.

I've edited the posts a bit to cut out some irrelevant chat, and bolded some interesting parts.

They start off talking about space laser weapon defense systems:

And here the thread just kinda ends. If you want to check out the whole thing it's here, interesting stuff starts on page 6:

https://www.fark.com/comments/1203844/US-to-put-weapons-in-space-Mars-attacks-surrenders

I'm not presenting this as fact, but I do think the tic-tac was US tech, and it's pretty funny that this conversation took place in the same week as the Nimitz encounter.

Andy Pandy posted:

lmao this gets better.

I dug up his ATS username (Bedlam) and there are some further interesting details. Turns out the Fark user "erewhon" was used by 3 different people but seems like most of it was him.

These comments are from 2013:

There are also some links to other remaining Fark threads with some random interesting posts. Again, these are from 2004. This one is about the rumoured "Aurora" vehicle:

This one might seem familiar to anyone who watched that Why Files episode about the "spinning mercury" ARVs:

so isn't the backstory that it was effective so that's why the CIA was using and investigating it? Then they abandoned the project (or at least said they did) since they couldn't use it for murdering and stealing state secrets?

Monroe came up with the project. I get being cautious about this, and obviously it is up to the individual to make their own choices, but a tool's worth says less about its origin and association more about the personal users experience and intent. LSD came from the CIA, but Ram Dass didn't seem like an effective asset?

A lot of tech bro assholes are also into meditation recently, but that shouldn't discount the practice.

It was originally part of the debrief reporting and they corroborated it as part of the original article.

It's worth going back and reading the original debrief reporting on it, as well as the 3 part companion articles where they go into detail about how they corroborated it all to see how much more detail is in there versus what the current mainstream narrative is.

so my read of the debrief story is that the corroborations are of "information grusch provided" without being totally 100% on what information was corroborated, i.e. who was an eyewitness to what. but i'll go back through the companion articles, which i did read when they came out, to make sure on that.
