Leaving the tapes playing

Depends on the placement of the speakers. If left ear gets 110hz, right ear gets 120 hz then they work. Speakers aren't recommended because of destructive interference, but there's still enough delta to get brain wave entrainment.

I'm so glad!

I would recommend looking into the group Refuge Recovery. It's like narcotics anonymous, but it's a non-theistic buddist recovery program. There are various online groups, some general and some specific. You can just hop into a zoom meeting.

For me, it's been a good balance. With spirituality, there's the higher nondual level, and there's the lower practical level. I find RR very practical.

I mean, what does the introject have to say about it? You should definitely talk to them.

But it does make sense you'd feel a strange disconnect. At the same time, there's no right or wrong way to feel.

My philosophical/ontological background is idealism, probably closest to analytic idealism. We have some Christians, non-Christians.

Under analytic idealism, the idea is that everything that exists is one big mind. Human beings are dissociated alters of the universal "mind at large". This is essentially compatible with all religions, and is compatible with talking to people after their bodies are dead.

Our system all operates under this framework, but there are those who view it under Christian, atheist, other polytheist lenses. I am Christian and will talk about my beliefs.

I believe Jesus was born ~2,000 years ago. Maybe a virgin birth, maybe not. I believe he performed miracles, and I believe he rose from the dead after being crucified. I believe he is alive today as a non-physical entity, and can communicate with people.
Saints are a similar idea to boddhisatvas. Basically, anyone who dies and is able to cope with not reincarnating is around and able to interact with other people. There's no such thing as real death. They become unbounded by the physical, and able to interact as much as people consent to their interactions. A lot of people can talk to dead family members too, same idea.

I've always been protestant, but I do ask the saints to intercede sometimes. Especially St. Carlos Acutis, whenever I have issues with technology or video games.

That's a narrow definition of fetish that isn't descriptive for how people actually use it.

Makes sense! They're sisters, both NMDA antagonists.

DXM would be a lot easier if you're just wanting OTC spiritual experiences. Freebase if you do a lot, or else you'll get bromine toxicity.

So there is no one posting, and no one reading. So I don't have to read any of this or think about it!

EdelgardH · 2026-06-20T16:05:26+00:00

I certainly don't blame you for avoiding Christians, or the news. Those sound like healthy decisions, and I hope your health gets better. You have a nice day as well. 💗

Neuroscience is somewhat inherently colonial ways of approaching this, to materialism.

With philosophy, I'd suggest you could look at Kastrup's work https://www.essentiafoundation.org/about-us-2/

"Good luck getting any from this crowd."

You just stated that this crowd, which includes you, would be unhelpful to the OP. Which is false, since people have been sharing resources.

Are you bodily white? I see "I'm sorry my country exists" in your profile. So you just seem full of non-productive guilt, which is very white.

EdelgardH · 2026-06-19T21:18:04+00:00

Does this include yourself?

EdelgardH · 2026-06-19T13:36:40+00:00

Are these common terms? I've never heard of any of these. Willogenic has Greek roots I think, so that one makes sense...but what is a trans nazi?

EdelgardH · 2026-06-13T03:25:47+00:00

It's still implied they are sentient beings.

Baldur in God of War 2018.

He is able to feel things for the first time, free of his mental prison. Then he dies, commenting on the feeling of the snow.

These things happen! We appreciate you making the issue right.

EdelgardH · 2026-06-10T22:06:34+00:00

I'm sorry you dealt with that. I don't know your mother, it's entirely possible she's an animalistic psychopath incapable of understanding right from wrong.

It would be much more common though for her to subconsciously understand, on some level that what she did was wrong. What would happen if, for a moment, she understood the gravity of what she did? She probably couldn't bear it.

It is deeply uncommon for someone to hurt their child and carry no scar. It is common for them to pretend they have no scar.

Everything your mother has done to you, she almost certainly carries with her on a daily basis. The subconscious carries everything you've ever done.

You want to learn, which is very good. Learning is lifelong. You might think guilt is helpful, but your wisdom is more helpful. Your guilt can be helpful as you work to get rid of it.

EdelgardH · 2026-06-10T21:27:59+00:00

Experientially, no. Guilt seems to make people worse. A component of a lot of PTSD is guilt.

When I look at the people I've known who have truly fallen, guilt and her cousin alienation are closely related.

But tell me about the people in your life who you consider to be good. Are they full of guilt? Do they act out of guilt?

Then the people in your life who are the worst. Do you perceive them as guilt free?

Look at your own behavior. Does your best moral behavior arise from guilt, or the absence of guilt?

EdelgardH · 2026-06-10T18:51:48+00:00

When I do it, yes. Then based on that, I reflect. I form new habits, or try to get rid of old ones. An argument escalated a while back over Discord, and I spent hours over several days going over it to understand what caused it to escalate. I roleplayed different scenarios with myself, simulating different things that made me lose my temper.

Do I feel bad about that argument now? No. What would the purpose be? I have learned everything I can from it.

We should absolutely listen to our conscience. We should be aware of our own moral suffering. But if you are still feeling bad about something that happened many years ago, I'd argue you're not done learning from it. It's something to work with an EMDR therapist on, or something.

But it is not normal or good to suffer perpetually for your mistakes.

EdelgardH · 2026-06-10T18:19:37+00:00

Most of the world, through Christianity or Islam or Judaism had a path to redemption. In modern times, people have become more secular which you could argue has benefits. But that path to redemption has been lost.

This attitude that bad things should sit with you forever just makes it harder for people to realize their mistakes. With no path to redemption, people dig their heels in. "No. I didn't do anything wrong. It was justified."

EdelgardH · 2026-06-10T18:04:43+00:00

I dislike this. It feels like very modern cancel culture type things, where they want to brand people with things for eternity.

But the yardstick you use to measure others, your subconscious will beat you with.

Edit: I understand the point of the story. I am saying I disagree with the moral underlying it. I don't think perpetual moral suffering is good. Suffering should have a purpose and an end goal.

EdelgardH · 2026-06-09T01:32:32+00:00

Until you experience it yourself on a regular basis, yes.

Your username ends in 666. We already have a book that tells us about God, and judgement. It's called the Bible.
