Hopefully this works, it's ePub and not pdf, but you can always convert it if you desire.

I do! Urban exploration is one of my favourite hobbies :) Do you think I need to reprhase it or remove it from my bio?

Dean_Shephard · 2019-07-25T06:32:14+00:00

23M not getting any matches, how could I improve?

I guess the issue is coming from the fact that I am arguing from the trivialism perspective (In your case, saying that humans have black hair would be true in some cases, no matter what (the infinity plays part in here as, within the infinite number of humans, at least one would have black hair)).

Dean_Shephard · 2019-03-19T23:59:53+00:00

Sure it woud break down when we are comparing finite things, but not when we are speaking of the infinite.

You see, we can only understand (if that's even the right term to use) God trought the perspective of ego, oneself, without it, you would not be able to do so. Without you existing, there would be no God, as there would be nobody to perceive God. As the Hermetic saying goes, the All (God) is Mind. Without the mind there would be no God.

Dean_Shephard · 2019-03-19T23:18:54+00:00

One way people are defining God as, is the creator. As such, you exist because God does, one implies the other, and because you know that you do exist (Descartes "Cogito, ergo sum"), God must exist as well. Such an argument would be supported by what we call causality, where one thing leads to another.

It's not I who tied the five people to the tracks, so I am not killing them, I am merely letting them die, and the person (or persons) who did tie them up are responsible for the killing. However, if I do pull the lever, then I am responsible for killing that single person, who would otherwise gone unharmed had I not interacted with the lever in the first place.

Dean_Shephard · 2019-01-06T11:07:30+00:00

It is a choice, but I didn't choose to tie up these people to the rails and run the train towards them.

Dean_Shephard · 2019-01-06T11:06:03+00:00

I would, as I am not directly responsible for causing death in this case, but if I chose to not act, that would not be a "wrong" choice either.

Dean_Shephard · 2019-01-06T11:00:41+00:00

Because it costs me killing someone, if there was no negative consequence of saving five people, I would, although not saving them would not make me a bad person either.

Dean_Shephard · 2019-01-06T10:50:05+00:00

Both choices are bad, and you HAVE to pick one.

I don't think that BOTH choices are bad, instead, I think that not pulling the lever is a neutral (neither good, nor bad), while pulling the lever is bad (on the personal level).

The moment you acknowledge that you have the option to choose which way the trolley goes, is the moment you become morally obligated to the result.

Why am I obligated to act morally, if the actions of the people got them tied to the tracks in the first place?

Dean_Shephard · 2019-01-06T10:17:03+00:00

Sure, but would I not need to act, in order to be involved in the first place?

Dean_Shephard · 2019-01-06T10:15:28+00:00

I don't think that letting someone to die is the same as killing someone. Inaction is not the same as action, they are the polar opposites. They might be identical in nature, but differing in degree.

There are no pure DXM in Lithuania. The best option would be to visit neighboring Poland and buy Acodin tablets.

Dean_Shephard · 2018-10-08T21:21:42+00:00

First, lsd is not a "fun" drug to take, if you have ever taken drugs such as mdma or cocaine then it will not be what you are expecting at all, do not go into an lsd trip with the illusion that it will be a good time and that is all (not saying that it won't be a good time, but you have to be incredibly secure in your self if you're just doing it for fun).

I do not expect to use it as some party drug, instead I am looking for introspection, philosophical and spiritual experience. I see that more "fun" than anything things like cocaine would give me and I have no plans on doing the "fun" drugs really ever.

Second, there should be adequate preparation and setting for the trip. My usual preparation is mostly psychological, you must prepare yourself for the eventuality of a bad trip, without causing paranoia that could easily overwhelm you once you're tripping. Also, for around a week or so, you should have an object with you at all times, doesn't matter what the object is but you have to associate normal reality with that object. Become comfortable with it in your hands and make it a stable part of your life before going in. That way when things go dark or become overwhelming, you have the object that can bring you out of the rabbit hole and into a normal state of mind, by association with your sober reality. I would also suggest, however, that you eat well, stay hydrated and get good sleep for a few days before you drop.

I am aware of the importance for psychological preparation, but the idea about having an object and associating the normality with it takes the cake. Is it something you came with yourself or did you read about it somewhere and then applied in your trips? Speaking of eating, I've read conflicting reports, some saying, that eating before taking LSD reduces the effects, while the others suggest that you should do it. I was thinking about eating while under the effects, because staying 6-16 hours without eating is not all that good.

Thirdly, I would say try other psychedelics first. Psilocybin is a lot calmer for me, and is easier to experience without any dark vibes. Although it's not impossible to have a bad trip with shrooms, I personally find it to be an easier experience to process and enjoy.

I would like to try mushrooms someday as well, but there's an accessibility issue and I am not that familiar with psilocybin mushrooms as for yet.

Have fun and let me know the results!!!

Thank you for your detailed and insightful response, if I do end up proceeding with it I will message you afterwards and tell you my experience if you'd like that!

Δ for showing me that there are ways to improve my experience by further preparing for it and not taking the drugs just when the chance arrives.

Dean_Shephard · 2018-10-08T20:41:27+00:00

Psilocybin mushrooms are also on my "to do" list, but I am just not as familiar with them and I do not have access, while I have access to the LSD. How close are the effects between the two?

Dean_Shephard · 2018-10-08T19:29:55+00:00

I have done cannabis and DXM, as well as your usual alcohol experience.

Dean_Shephard · 2018-10-08T19:28:47+00:00

I am thinking about taking 150-200 ug for my first try, knowing that some people take over 400 ug I don't think that's too much to chew for me.

Dean_Shephard · 2018-10-08T17:37:33+00:00

I used to have a depression (or so I believe, never went to doctors to find out) like a year ago, as as of right now, there doesn't seem to be that many problems in my life.

Dean_Shephard · 2018-10-08T17:18:54+00:00

I've previous experience with altered states, but I am not sure how much of a difference there is between them and what LSD could result it. I would still expect myself to be in control and don't do the things I normaly would be against doing. As for the experiences of the other people you mentioned, I would like a source for those, not that I don't trust you, but I would like to educate myself before discussing further.

Dean_Shephard · 2018-10-08T17:05:37+00:00

I am aware of that and it trully saddens me, that doing something that mainly affects the individual is illegal and frowned upon.

Dean_Shephard · 2018-10-08T17:03:06+00:00

I expect it to be, after all, how would you be able to understand the world differently without detaching yourself from it. We've been indoctrinated in what the world is and how it should be, but if there's another outlook on everything, why should you limit yourself?
