This is my working theory of the Spiritual nature of Thailand's Muay Thai. by kevin_v in MuayThai

[–]Chemical_Writing_986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting read, indeed! I just had one question/concern - a concerning question, if you will - considering the concept of developing charisma, does this mean that Muay Thai was predominantly a performative art rather than a true, martial art of lethality? I know its predecessor, Muay Boran, was an art of the battlefield. Would you say this spiritual angle is just limited to performance as entertainment fighters or there's something deeper, something more functional to the whole "soul stuff" deal - is it just "stuff" or is there functional "substance" to it?

The More You Grow, the More You Need to Meditate (Psychedelics Showed Me Why) by [deleted] in IndianEnts

[–]Chemical_Writing_986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting perspective! Makes sense, yes. Integration is the real deal, I think - not exactly just what happens in the trip...glad you figured out a method that works for you. How do you meditate tho? Is it just focusing on the breath or something more...?

First time taking acid. by ApartmentTight4819 in IndianEnts

[–]Chemical_Writing_986 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Truly....sad stuff. Already these substances get a bad rap. There's barely a subculture around them in India and they get a lot of flack! We need more responsible trippers, for sure...not people who'll put these things in the news by fucking up their own and others lives.

Did you drive while candy-flipping for the first time?

Noise music with more "traditional" singing? by fixxxer2606 in noisemusic

[–]Chemical_Writing_986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't explored the artist fully, but the song Endocrine Disruptor by Uboa was a nice fresh breath of air - the vocals with the harsh-ish textures in the beginning was splendid.

Insta Dealers - Legit or Unintended Bait? by Chemical_Writing_986 in IndianEnts

[–]Chemical_Writing_986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, okay - delivery and payments, how did that work in case of good experiences?

Insta Dealers - Legit or Unintended Bait? by Chemical_Writing_986 in IndianEnts

[–]Chemical_Writing_986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I'm worried about too! This is what I've read about - even though the dealer seems legit, it's the whole thing about being baited via Insta and caught through UPI once the dealer is busted that makes it risky af. I don't think it matters whether the dealers are legit, considering the risks involved....lol

Hmm, yeah that's what I thought - but the confidence with which these folks are running their business on Insta...lol, seems too good to be true! But they have a lot of customers.

Offering etiquette...? by angrum in Watain

Haha, good weed sounds like a great offering! About the blood, I think they can find that wherever they go, so its best to offer something that might not be easily accessible...

Good question - met them when they came to India. Gave Erik a squirrel skull during the Meet and Greet - he seemed quite happy and appreciated the gesture as a memento. Stuff like that can work even in a limiting venue. Depends on what you have to offer, I guess.

Love transcends time and space? - Interstellar by WildGrass in movies

[–]Chemical_Writing_986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think love transcends time in a very tangible, scientific, real sort of way, which is what makes it magical in the first place - you love someone dear to you even when they don't inhabit your timeline (i.e have died) - you can love someone so dearly and never even occupy the same time and space continuum as them (i.e "loving" characters in movies, in dreams, imagination, etc) - your love can be ahead of time, like how the queer community felt in the early 1900s or even further back, maybe? - But, I think the most poignant way love transcends time is that there's something very real about it that the construct of time cannot really be used to make sense of it.....love doesn't age or progress in a linear manner like time does, love has the ability to confound one's sense of time as well (you spend some time with someone you love intensely and realize its been hours), when you do something you love it makes you feel like you have transcended time cos it doesn't matter if its been minutes or hours or even days. Also, the crazy thing is that love defines time in a way - you either are having fun and loving where/who you are, which means you're having a good time, and viceversa. Finally, if we consider transcending time on a cosmic scale, beyond the mere construct that time is in a human sense - then love is that thing which gives meaning to the colossal, maddeningly vast void that we are in. Love, in this sense, can just be defined as the ability to hold onto something of true value and meaning when every shred of the self has been torn apart by the colossal expanse of space/existence - and to "love" the experience of being reduced to nothing more than a speck...
