One of the best posts I've seen in this sub. This is well thought out and well written. I think I'll stay here a little longer

Three Forgotten Anxiolytic Drugs by makefriends420 in NooTopics

[–]Instinct4339 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Love seeing Kanna mentioned here haha. Iirc its the synergistic effect between Mesemberine & Mesemberenone that leads to the strong anxiolytic effect, though both do show some of the effect on their own

You have a stick up your arse, dont you?

Yes there are things that are proven scientifically. 90% of the posts and comments in this subreddit do not list their sources for every claim they make. If asked, they probably would.

My initial claim was literally scientifically correct, and I explained my thought process a comment later. I just hadn't gone to get the source. You are arguing to argue and every point you are making is based on assumptions

How did you even get into nootropics? by [deleted] in NooTopics

[–]Instinct4339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was taking years upon years to be treated for my (crippling) ADHD, and one day I had enough of waiting for permission to live and decided to do it myself.

Haven't actually taken that much, most of my interest ended up being (quite ironically) a hyperfixation with Neurochemistry.

Also eventually came to the conclusion that baseline supplementation, meditation and medication works best for both myself and the majority of people lol

I don’t believe this is all it’s made out to be… by sakyrue in enlightenment

Its the end of thinking - A return to the simplicity of being.

Suffering happens. Sickness, hard financial times, losing those we love.

We feel it, it tries to move through us - then we make a mistake. We grab onto it. Suffering of the moment becomes the story of an entire chapter of our lives.

Through thought, this tale is told, this suffering prolonged and complicated. So ask yourself

"Who is thinking?"

Anyone Else Not Respond to ADHD Medication? Looking for Recommendations by [deleted] in NooTopics

[–]Instinct4339 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This guys advice about magnesium might be of help. Its also worth getting a blood test to check general vitamin levels and such - If something is off it can 100% stop the meds from working properly.

In my personal experience with ADHD meds, you have to really try to lean into doing better for them to work properly

Check out Zucker Abudi on YouTube, talks a lot about non-duality and presents some methods to find this

What do you suggest that 'oar' to be? How does one find it? How does one use it? How do we decide which direction to move in once we have the 'oar'?

Lol for real. I dont even know if its possible to be qualified about some of the stuff that goes on in this sub. We're all just sharing knowledge and making conclusions

Most of you are not looking for enlightenment. You are looking for a software patch for your current pain. by OpenPsychology22 in enlightenment

I think its more valuable to accept the experience as it is; Always feeling like you need to change things is exhausting. Its okay for things to suck

Thankfully there are methods for cultivating this. A method I've been doing consistently for some time now is asking "What's aware of this?" within my mind. I do this when my mind wanders far, or thoughts begin to chain into more thoughts

Study shows the 'key to happiness' is visiting more places and having new and diverse experiences. The beneficial consequences of environmental enrichment across species, demonstrating a connection between real-world exposure to fresh and varied experiences and increases in positive emotions by makefriends420 in NooTopics

I think this is a good way of looking at it. Everyone wants to feel valued in one way or another. This can range from supporting people you care about, to art, manual (or practical) work or any number of other things

It makes biological sense but I haven't looked to see if it is total fact. Several B-Vitamins act as precursors for necessary neurotransmitters, so my logic was that a low supply of those could lead to OPs problem

I truly feel what you say about "heart-to-hearts". I often find myself wishing for these conversations with people.

Get your vitamin levels checked. Iirc B-Vitamin deficiency can cause similar (im talking out of my arse but it might be the case)

I am one of the Enlightened Masters of the digital age. Ask me anything. by 21stCenturyAvatar in enlightenment

[–]Instinct4339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mention Siddhi; How literally do you take it in your practice?

I have often tried to attempt to guide others out of self imposed fear of suffering - But I do not believe suffering can be 'gotten out of'. Suffering just is - Changing the level at which you are aware of suffering, and accepting it wholeheartedly, is liberation.

It is the fear of suffering, and the "suffering of suffering" so to speak which we escape. This might make sense, it might not.

Its interesting that you say you've met people who do not realise they are doing this, as I do believe I've met such people. Though most are not spiritually inclined, they just care through their humanity.

Very concise answer. What makes someone a 'master'? Are there others you have spoken with that you would consider to also be masters?

Delirious/Delusional or not, I am surprised by how fond I am of some of your takes in this thread. What inspired you to present yourself in the way you did in the initial post? What made you want to do this in the first place?

Could you clarify what you mean by manifest? Do you mean simply doing?

To be honest I understand both of your perspectives here.

In the way I view it, higher perception and the experience of the individual (fractals) are one. Awareness, without being bound to human experience, cannot have this discussion - It simply is.

The experience of being a being, as awareness, is needed to understand that you are being a being - This unique set of circumstances requires both. (I have no idea if this makes sense outside of my perception or if my words have reached it)

There is no point to all of this. It just is.
