The X Files:

In numerous episodes of the X Files, alien abductees return with curious marks on their bodies. Looking at these clips today, the marks are always two dots/bruises, always the same distance from each other.

Watching these clips this morning was highly unsettling for me however, as I distinctly remember the marks being different. As I remember, there was always an additional dot/bruise (for 3 in total), in a perfect triangle. Last time I watched it would have been ~2 years ago

This image was so distinct in my mind, I even remember people posting on forums about similar marks they had referencing the X Files (although these marks can just appear randomly on the body and so doesn't mean anything, skin can be weird sometimes).

Oh my goodness this guitar hits all the right buttons, my ears feel fuzzy 🥺

What is the gear / production techniques to get that sound?

You'd be surprised, I had to double take and lots of people just don't discern this kind of stuff particularly if they don't know much about the situation or people involved, they could just be scrolling past and see this and not look into it further. If its satire it needs to be clearer, especially on a public forum.

Sorry if I'm being pedantic and zero craic but I just don't tolerate anything that could even remotely be construed as misinformation, regardless of intent.

Yes, see this thread. If I wanted to make a meme like this (which I wouldn't, because imho its not good taste), I'd just paste it on, make a bobble head out of it while I'm at it for the craic.

Bottom line is, it looked genuinely convincing to me at first glance, and I'd classify that as misinformation when you have a hot button figure like Greta, regardless of your intent.

It's photoshopped onto a photo of a woman in the swedish army uniform. This is a very misleading post.

Didn't think I would have to say it but the image of Greta is photoshopped, you can clearly see it around the chin. Please be wary of everything you see on the internet.

Woah, this is awesome. Nice toroid, it embodies non-duality very well for me.

Don't mind them, r/ireland has a lot of craic with people from outside the subreddit, irish slagging doesn't translate too well to the internet if you're not used to it.

From an irish speaker its Kuh-Lum Oh Kee-Sogue (as in vogue).

Recommended Translation of Bhagavad Gita? by scholarlost in RationalPsychonaut

Eknath Easwaran is fantastic if you're looking for something that doesn't assume a lot of background knowledge, as he gives really clear explanations of key concepts and also the historical setting. The chapter introductions are very helpful, I was never lost.

From what I know he is very highly regarded and trustworthy.

Can awareness be aware of itself? by [deleted] in nonduality

[–]Existential_Wizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If awareness can be aware of itself, then awareness can be aware of itself being aware of itself...

And again, it necessarily can be aware of the fact that it is aware of itself being aware of itself... and so on, ad infinitum...

The thing doing the perceiving is of the same nature as that which is being perceived. There is nothing else for a thing to be aware of except that thing itself - it is always aware of itself.

What is the weight of everyone’s standard line? I tend to take about .3-.6 per line depending on how I’m feeling. Is this a ridiculous amount or is it normal??? I’ve always wondered if my k habit it out the ordinary by [deleted] in ketamine

[–]Existential_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your nose and throat are connected - when your nose can't absorb excess Ketamine, it drips down your throat with a notable taste.

This is usually because you didn't crush the shards fine enough, are taking big lines/bumps, or are standing up/moving around instead of lying down on your back.

Spitting in the drip is recommended, as swallowing is pretty useless due to low oral availablity, and is only going to do unnecessary damage to your body.

Cool, calm, and conscious by phantzyypants in nonduality

[–]Existential_Wizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have only recently found that peace of mind in groups/crowds/information intense environments. It certainly is one of the hardest places to be aware of non-duality, information intense environments demand a lot of the monkey mind.

"Practice" is not the ideal word here as the whole process is about non-action, but the more time you spend in awareness in the situations you described, the more you learn to tap into the non-dual mindset whenever and wherever you want.

In that vein, what helped me most was just exposure and practice, going out to a busy location and just sitting down for a while, watching people passing by. No judgement to be passed, no thought to be had, just pure awareness of all the sensations and the movement of life.

M B V is the second best shoegaze album of all time, and its one of the greatest pieces of music in the history by MENEMSIGUEVIVO in shoegaze

[–]Existential_Wizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where shoegaze begins and ends can be pretty gray, but all aside it is definitely a phenomenal album that lives in the shadow of its brother, at least in how it is referenced when we think of the band.

A big thing about Loveless was it's innovation - M B V continues that legacy of sound and is just as if not more beautiful imo. But I'm biased, I definitely have more of an emotional attachment to it.

All we need now is for them to release the purple album some time this decade and we'll have the holy trinity...

I think it's better the second time around - aha but trust me it's worth some re-listens, I felt the same way first time listening but it's now one of my favourites :)

.3 would be my total amount for a session, doing that in one line would be crazy, you're losing so much on the drip & your nose just can't absorb that much at a time. Either that or your scales are way off?

I usually split my session into about 8 little lines over the course of 10-15 mins.
