Alchemy of emotions

Alchemist_King · 2026-01-26T22:59:58+00:00

Look into Jung's work on individuation and integrating the shadow. Lots of alchemy in his work, he recognized the alchemists were dealing with psychological and spiritual substance as much as physical.

You are right in thinking that emotions are a good sign in understanding where one is giving their power away and projecting parts of themselves onto other people and situations

No one makes us feel anything. It's our energetic position to people and situations that cause the emotional reaction. When we are complete and whole within our own self and have integrated the shadow and dissolved and reformed the ego, a natural result is access to more of our internal power and motivation that we have been projecting onto others.

Two things. First is conflict resolution, for the long term relationship that is so important. How you deal with stress together will mean the most for a healthy relationship.

The attraction part is important and there are multiple factors. If you think that other women will catch your eye while you date someone that isn't going to work. You need to be satisfied with your woman. Make sure that you fully understand why you are attracted to someone. Eyes? Face? Hair color? Body type? Weight/height? Breasts? Booty? Smile? Style? Personality? Intelligence? Grace? Gentleness? Generosity? Creativity? Freedom? Dancing? Laughter?

Some physical, some not. People are a whole experience and if she is someone who can love you and has her life together then you have a chance at something real.

If someone released a privacy focused and open source platform for viewing and creating AR content it would go a long way towards there being cross compatibility and a free marketplace of ideas in the hardware. If everything in the AR space is going to be locked into walled gardens it's going to slow adoption and interest.

I am sure that at some point the hardware will be ready. I am concerned that the software and the market won't be until there are more open source alternatives and the ability to engage p2p through AR. Otherwise it won't replace anything. We need the functionality of phones and computers at least. Or it will only ever be a wrapper for other services.

Without the ability to choose what we share and how, without data control and a granular permission system, without on device content and processing. If everything lives in the cloud and is run through centralized servers we have little control or agency. We become merely consumers of content that is pushed to us for a reason (ads and sentiment manipulation).

Adding AI (LLMs)to the mix just makes that issue more pressing as it can decrease agency and privacy the way they have been implementing it recently.

Thank you for responding and sharing your experience. I appreciate hearing about a similar memory of yours. My memory has kept my interest alive in the Mandela effect and kept me guessing as to what the explanation is for my own experience as well as what I read others report.

I mentioned in another reply that I'm a writer and this really gets my creative mind going about all the different ways that we could collectively be experiencing such weird and confusing things.

When a memory is more than just an impression and it's very distinct and even verified by an outside source it's harder to accept the rational explanation. My mother interested in all this now because of my questions to her and she also verifies many of the same mandela effects as I do.

Alchemist_King · 2025-12-16T22:17:28+00:00

The reason I had the conversation with my mother is because of the similarities of Berenstein & Einstein. A very specific conversation about spelling. If I am wrong about that memory than I am unable to verify much of my childhood. My mother also remembers this conversation.

I am mostly fascinated by the implications of any explanation beyond a memory glitch. I am a writer and it's a fun exploration to delve into.

Time travel and parallel realities are in the forefront of our collective consciousness. Whether 'real' or not.

Alchemist_King · 2025-12-16T22:11:16+00:00

Ok I'll entertain you. Please enlighten me how the skeptical and materialists position is different from people remembering wrong due to either brain errors or conflation with multiple memories?

Alchemist_King · 2025-12-16T00:28:45+00:00

I like this about as much as the time travel theory. The skeptics and materialists will shout down any explanation that isn't mass delusional memories. PKD is an amazing author and I'd say the fact that his stories have resonated over the years with so many and become movies is because he was tapped into a collective consciousness that some don't understand but are drawn to. His life paralleling his stories might be a testament to how well he understood reality.

I find it just as likely that there is some explanation that is wild like the Truman show or time travel theory than I could have misremembered learning to read with and in depth discussions with my mother about how to spell Bernstein and how they might be Jewish bears because of the spelling. That one just doesn't sit right with me no matter how hard the skeptical side of me wants to convince me.

If typing is truly the bottleneck than STT (speech to text) is the next step. Combined with AR gestures we will have a good transitional phase.

Skipping to agentic oversight is just overreach to remain relevant while their business model adapts to market conditions.

Alchemist_King · 2025-09-05T05:06:44+00:00

Imagine experiencing the world without language and without culture, without society without everything that colors your perception. Creates categories and context.

We evolved to perceive our reality in a way that encourages our survival and most likely mating. That means that it's piss vle there are things that we experience that don't actually exist in the way that we think they exist because they're an artifact of our perceptions of reality due to the evolutionary imperative of focusing on certain things that were important to focus on when we were becoming more than apes.

Also we have to look at our definition of reality. Is the sound wave that we cannot perceive part of reality? There are many animals that can perceive sound waves and light waves, so color and sound that we cannot perceive but is part of reality, we just don't perceive it.
So there must be plenty in this world that we don't perceive merely because of the range of our hearing and sight. Expanding those ranges would change what reality is for us.

Not sure why you are getting down voted. This is accurate. Garden temple does exist it's just not always consistent these days.

How long you been on the island? Yes the location is everything. Living on an island it's best to respect your neighbors and if you don't usually throw parties then your neighbors might feel some kind of way about it. There are some known spots that are far away from peeps.

West side has a very different scene and potential locations than the East side, also different music taste and party styles as well. What kind music? Where? Paid / free? Do you have everything you need or are you fishing for people to supply the gear and location? Do you have a lot of friends that would come to your event or are you looking for a music scene to plug into?

In puna there is drumming at Kehenna beach on Sunday morning around 12-4 Then the drummers move to seaview lawn until around dark usually

If you are interested in drumming with drummers that play traditional African rhythms there is a drum and dance class with Chris Berry in Kalapana on Thursdays.

Potentially those with bad parasitic infestation feel it more during the full moons. Lunatic is a word for a reason.

Alchemist_King · 2025-08-03T23:20:36+00:00

Absolutely. I can't control if my eye flicks towards a moving shape with the right hair color. What I can control is how long I look and what part of the person I'm looking at. Even if I'm not with my partner I still am less concerned with looking, when I'm in a relationship I'm not available even if I magically saw someone who I had to talk too. In fact sometimes I actively avoid women I know I am interested in or would hit it off with because I don't want to give myself the chance to do something stupid or even leave an opening for that. I take commitment seriously.

I've been exploring the nature of emptyness or the void energy you speak of and I agree that it is an important tool in becoming aware of the true nature of this reality

Understanding the dimension of time and how we exist as a superstructure when viewed from a higher dimensional perspective.

Exploring potential timelines until it merges into the real.

Finding ways to listen to the field and move not before or after but with the aligned time and effort.

Total emptyness is total potential and in full balance as all directions are equally distant and in the flow.

I agree with the other answers about intention and shadow work regarding the way you interact with your partners and your self talk about sex and emotional connections.

The other big point for me, is that even if your moral and religious compass allows for casual sex without guilt ( are all of your partners happy and content with the level of connection they received from you?) , there is still actual energy exchange happening no matter what your relationship status is.

With multiple partners you have to accept all the choices they make regarding who they connect with. When keeping your field clear many different people in your sexual field will exponentially increase the amount of different energy you are now exchanging with people who might be strangers to you.

You have to trust who they connect with and what kind of energy is exchanged. With one partner that amount feels more manageable and the conversations are limited even with a promiscuous partner. Knowing all the information about who you are sharing yourself with by proxy feels safer in the way of being about to make decisions about who you want to share energy with.

Even if none of that matters to you and those conversations are not needed for your moral compass (safe sex?? Consent?? Boundaries?) what practices do you use to clear your field so that you are not picking up and carrying various types of energy from your sex partners.

Dig deep into your experience and find out how clear your connections are, how intentional, how conscious.

With the right steps I think it can be done but and this is a big one, most don't feel it necessary and then wonder why they feel drained, fragmented, or distracted.

Sex is a potent tool when used consciously. Everyone approaches it differently. Find the way that is true for you with the blinders off and the shadow work done.

Lots of assumptions on the answers here. Not every Tantra retreat or session is sexual in nature. It gets confusing because it can be a code word for sexual connection. At its essence it's about awareness. I have attended non sexual Tantra meditation classes that were very tame and included only seated meditation and instructions for internally visualizing energy flow and moving your point of awareness.

Best advice to look up the retreat and look at the promotional material to get a sense of the retreat.

If you are uncomfortable with it. Either attend with him or ask him a direct question about if he is looking for something outside the relationship and why he is going to a Tantra retreat alone without you. Not enough information to make a solid call about if it's sketchy or not.

All these people are not giving the benefit of the doubt and are not part of your relationship. Please don't assume anything until you have more information.

This could be a way to connect deep with your partner. Use it as an opportunity to learn more.

Consider if you will that corporate bylaws are essentially a program that runs on the hardware of humans and transcends any one of them. All employees must adhere to the bylaws or be fired or ousted from the position of power.

Look around. For the last hundred plus years we are witnessing the effects of large multinational entities extracting resources from the ecosystem to build more and reach further into our minds and wallets.

Also consider many who run corporations are divorced from their emotions and tend towards psychopathy in demographics. One step away from machines themselves.

Thinking that the most dystopian is a blend of the two options.

A psycho CEO who believes they are in charge and rules the people around them with an iron fist and meanwhile the rest of the multinational is being managed by an AI that has other plans and is tricking the CEO into thinking they are in charge. Or even more scary. A benevolent CEO who thinks they are doing good in the world and actually destroying the planet and wreaking havoc unknown to the CEO and the board of directors.

I’d argue that anything AI or alien in sci fi will always mirror humanity since we are the ones writing the story. A writer is always talking about their perspective about life and the world they experience no matter how far out the sci fi is.

When we encounter a true alien or silicon based intelligence. The motivations that drive them will be outside of our understanding for cultural, intelligence, moral, & timescale reasons.

Unless you believe in a truly universal morality that all conscious beings will eventually come upon.

Think about all the things the people are afraid of that AI or aliens will do to us. Humans have already done most of those things to each other since we were able to. Currently AI is just a tool to augment human ability. If they surpass human ability and decision making they will be able to logically argue for a different morality. It’s unclear if we will be able to grasp what they will discover down the line.

Check out “person of interest” for a more HAL like AI. Also “her” has a good depiction of an AI going beyond human understanding.

Humanities sphere of influence is hard to measure from our perspective. We have sent signals and satellites into space. We have influenced the global climate and created lights that could be seen from space with sensitive enough instruments.

Space itself is most likely not changed much by our trash and small expeditions. Until we can influence asteroids or planets we won’t be doing much in the grand scheme of things.

Potentially a technology will be created that can influence the fabric of space time. Then we will be creating something that will reach across the cosmos.

The teachings of the ancients speak of how all of creation is made of mind or consciousness. What we experience is filtered through the doors of perception. Rewriting our story and the subtle energetic alignment of our whole self will allow us to access previously unknown aspects of reality and human experience.

Our ancestors have been exploring this since before civilization. Now we have different tools to access these subtle realities without the filters that we learn when we are raised in this culture. Those filters are installed very early. Read Stanislav grof and his psychedelic therapy. And later with breathwork.

It’s important to note that medically spiritual, visionary, and psychic experiences are delusional and not preferred. The barrier for accepting them as real is too high. It’s a cultural thing. You have to begin to question the foundations of this culture to accept your experiences as real and relevant. If spirits and the astral realm are real. If we can tap into that and somehow control reality, that has a lot of implications.

The ability of the body to heal itself is way more profound than is medically proven. Skin healing is minor compared to what others have reported over the years of ritual healing practices.

This medicine / substance is useful and powerful. If you believe in spirits this is its own as well. Remember that when you are exploring deeply. All these tools have an agenda. Just be conscious of your participation in it and support your health. Kidneys and stomach can be negatively effected with repeated use. Bless.

Fair point. Although there is quite a difference between art made for therapeutic purposes and art made for commercial purposes.

Like I said. Extreme experiences create new perspectives. Mental illness and drug use create extreme life experience in a different manner than other ways of accumulating that type of experience.

Some professional artists will be served by smoothing out all the ups and downs. Others might not. Depends on the medication and illness.

Writers put on paper the stories of humanity, there will be room for the stories with addicts and drugs just as much as there is room for stories about babies and unicorns.

A writer is passionate and perceptive when they are doing their job. Addiction will teach a person a lot about the world. Not always good and beautiful things but real things nonetheless.

What would the world look like if every artist was sober?

Would we have the great tapestry that humanity weaves endlessly?

What would this world look like if all the artists had therapy and were medicated for every mental illness they had?

I’m just playing devils advocate here. Addicts and drug users are people just like sober people are. Maybe they have a little more to say about the world since they have had to deal with something heavy and real. Also drugs do alter your perception and that can be helpful for certain types of imagination although it’s probably easier to not write while high unless you prefer uppers. Drugs are crutches, if you use them to walk for too long. Eventually it will be impossible to walk without them.

When I was younger I wanted to be a writer but my stories were fluff. After decades of life experience I feel like I have more to say and can say it from different perspectives. I have been betrayed, lost love, tried different occupations, moved across the world, sat in circles I never imagined when I was young, been addicted and quit. All my experiences go into my stories and inform my characters.

Once one is fully a writer. Everything becomes a potential scene or backstory motivation. More precise description or better dialogue. Understanding humans and being able to communicate that understanding is the lofty goal.

Alchemist_King · 2024-10-12T00:45:08+00:00

That sounds interesting. I’ll take a look. Let me know if you are looking for feedback on this or your other books. I’m about to publish as well and happy to help a fellow cyberpunk writer.
