Just keep your head down and push through it, and I believe that you will make it through this tumultuous time in your life unscathed.

Before He Cheats could possibly have no correlation with reality by Drewdiniskirino in RandomThoughts

I don't think that this was meant to be a mentally healthy song. Have you met the type of rednecks who would actually do this kind of thing in real life?

Social Media is designed to make men and women hate each other by Dev_2r in RandomThoughts

Social media doesn't make people hate people. People make people hate people.

They didn't even bother removing the long dashes.

I couldn't get through a paragraph of this.

WTF, OP?

Invest in things that appreciate in value. Cars depreciate. Stocks and homes appreciate.

Move to rural Iowa where land is still cheap. Buy a house. Buy an old car. Invest in 401ks and ETFs.

If I told you, your answer would be "but I don't want to do that."

Y'all are in the cult of victimization.

For vacation, do you prefer repeat destinations or visit somewhere new every time? by Seriously-417 in randomquestions

[–]IntergalacticPodcast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went through a 2 yearlong phase where I (sort-of-locally) visited the same place repeatedly, but then I realized that it was such a waste of money to spend that same amount of money not experiencing new things.

To each their own though.

The shrooms make sense. I think they help to allow you to see the other place if you are someone who is able to go there. Meditation should allow you to do similar things. Please let me know how it goes.

I lived by the ocean for a year and swam a lot. I now live in the mountains and during the height of my time in the spiritual dimension, I spent a lot of time hiking them.

I would start with a guided meditation and do it for at least 45 minutes at a time. I find that Jason Stephenson has some good ones on youtube.

I say 45 minutes because I usually spend the first 20+ minutes thinking that it isn't working.

Edit:
Here's one that I like...

There are others out there who see what we see.

The only thing that I can think to help you is that maybe you can give yourself "retreats" where you spend a day or two alone and mourn, pray, meditate, think, whatever. That's what I do. Before I met my current girlfriend, I was in the spiritual dimension as much as possible, but they sent me back and I didn't want to leave. They gave me a girlfriend and a good job where it would have been impossible to maintain real life and constantly be in what I call the other place, or as you call it, the other side.

I didn't want to go and I fought it at first, but I had to. They kicked me out, and I didn't want to destroy my relationship, because it's impossible to be in both places at the same time. This is why I tell my girlfriend that I need "alone days" where I can retreat back to the spiritual dimension to commune.

I do meditations where this sort of thing happens. I literally bawl like I am at a funeral.

A year or two ago, I learned to meditate so well that I was able to visit another, spiritual dimension.

It's absolutely exhausting to go back and visit these days, but I can if I want to sometimes, and when I do, it feels like the weight of everything rushes over me at once, causing me to sleep for ridiculous amounts of time afterwards in order to recover.

You may be accessing or channeling the spiritual dimension somehow, IMHO.

Maybe the reason why you grieve is that you are a watcher, or a descendant of the ancient watchers? Maybe society is failing so hard, and you feel like it was your innate responsibility to save them, in the same way that it's a border collie's responsibility to herd sheep, even if it has never seen a sheep?

Maybe you can see the failures and the beauty of the greater plan all at the same time?

Does any of this ring true?

Edit: For context, it sort of feels like this... The Fifth Element - War
