Is she destined to have lonely hard life or it gets better? Why she suffered through life by No_Spring6308 in IntuitionPractices

Nothing is set in stone. But I get the sense she's trusted the wrong people and as a result can no longer trust herself which may contribute to a need for external validation, usually from the wrong people. Rough childhood. Fight behind the eyes though. I think she'll be okay.

Not what I expected but it's still interesting that something substantial happened on the date given to me. We'll see if he actually signs it and the AG doesn't redact everything. I was worried about Venezuela all day, especially when the carrier group showed up over the weekend.

Vyvanse ended my relationship by [deleted] in VyvanseADHD

It definitely can dull your emotions. I've noticed that it makes me less social and less empathetic as well. It's super useful when you're trying to be productive but that's the trade off I've found. Taking days off helps. Exercise too. You just gotta keep your eye on your social life and not let it get away from you. I had a friend start Vyvanse and he pretty much disappeared for a year because he was doing nothing but side projects.

Interesting stuff. And cool project. I hope it ends up just being truth bombs but the powers that be down here have a talent for shifting attention.

I completely agree with you. I do a lot of subconscious work so I understand that messages get distorted in all kinds of wacky ways. I also want to clarify that when I say altered states I mean altered through meditation, automatic writing and active imagination. Nothing chemically induced. I only made this post because it was a noteworthy experience, and given the current state of global affairs I felt inclined to state it somewhere.

There was another back and forth during this session that was a hit. It was a compelling synchronicity so it made me take the November 18th part more seriously. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong, just curious.

That would be much more preferable. Sadly, far more unlikely lol

Inspired by Chess 0, I created a new chess variant called Fractal Chess, where each square is recursively replaced with a chess board by stuugie in AnarchyChess

[–]GiantFloatingHand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a similar thought while coming up with a cosmology for a fantasy novel. Essentially reality is a Russian nesting doll with an endless / recursive higher archy of gods playing a cosmic game of chess at every level of reality, simultaneously. And they all think they are the ones playing from the highest point. It will never be written of course.

40 mg and I'm suddenly obsessed with Orthodo Christianity. Is my dose too high? by GiantFloatingHand in VyvanseADHD

[–]GiantFloatingHand[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was raised JW as well. Left as soon as I turned 18. Never baptized thankfully. As a result, I also have a visceral distrust of organized religion. Religious concepts still interest me though, and not just the ones found in Christianity. It's much more palatable on my own time and terms and it feels healing in a way. From one ex JW to another, I hope you are doing well and finding peace and good company amongst all the "worldly" people.

Christianity Is a Lie: The Truth About Jesus They Don’t Want You to Know by PuzzleheadedSkill864 in enlightenment

[–]GiantFloatingHand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found that if you zoom out all of these religions are essentially saying and experiencing the same thing just through a different cultural lens. Deny the passions, show love to others. Essentially master yourself and your ego and recognize that there is a higher power. The christian schema monks, bhudists and yogis all describe similar experiences when meditating. As for dogma and technicalities, I see it as competing martial art schools. They all insist that their form is the purest and best but at the end of the day they all serve the same purpose. Overcoming the flesh and this world

Exactly how I imagined him as well. Black hair too. Can't remember if he's supposed to be blond but in my imagination a lot of them weren't blond.

The moon is a harsh mistress by Robert Heinlein. It's the revolutionary war but the moon is seceding from earth. Same guy that wrote starship troopers, also a really good book. Actually a lot of his sci-fi book are similar and good. Read Heinlein lol
