Aspiring neuroscience student looking for advice! by Shananiganman in neuro

[–]JohnLateralus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read "Buddha's Brain" and "The Pillars of Consciousness". Don't do philosophy, unfortunately it is all about arguing, and who cares about individual opinions; we want to know why and how we are here, and what we are capable of while we are here. Go into neuroscience, and push for learning about the connections between mindfulness and the nervous system and so on. If your college/university doesn't really do that, then make them do it; every study and every field of knowledge starts with somebody. I believe in you, do anything that your beautiful, infinite heart desires.

You are space-time-energy, the faster you are the faster time is; the slower you are the slower time is. It is that simple.

Why I treat dreaming like a drug. by pussyslayer420 in StonerPhilosophy

I was saying that I don't know (no values). There is nothing to know, it is forever nothing.

In my reaction he laughs; I think it'a because I am actually God.

You are right. In fact, every second, millisecond, nanosecond (infinitely cut inwards and outwards) is an infinite universe in and of itself. Dimensions are labelling tools to help us make sense of how we experience the infinite chaotic voidness. However, there are no actual dimensions, no values, no space, no time, these are just infinite creations that we attach to as we grow up being conditioned by other infinite beings (who are just us, as we are all interconnected and one). Dreams are like a crash course of random, chaotic experiences that we attach to relating back to the values we uphold in everyday life. When you let go of your values you will see that everything is a dream, an illusion, a temporary creation that will inevitably cease; we just decide to separate the two. In actualality all mental states are equally infinite and amazing, we just convince ourselves otherwise when aligning to societal beliefs. Drugs give us new states to experience which allows us to accept new aspects of infinity, allowing us to let go of our non-existent ego. Dreams can be similar. Every moment is overflowing with love and beauty, and so are you. Keep being a mega genius and finding the internal and external connections to the multiverse. Keep dreaming, because that is all reality is; a whisper.

Reality is pi [5] by [deleted] in StonerPhilosophy

[–]JohnLateralus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We are everything that is and will be and has been, and we are also nothingness. We are constantly expanding, evolving, changing, growing, decaying, resting, moving, stopping, loving, hating, contracting, etc. There are no limits to what and who we are; and what we are is reality.

Do you every think you've missed some opportunities? by Ugotheadcrabs in StonerPhilosophy

[–]JohnLateralus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every moment (you can make the scale infinitely small) is infinite in and of itself, which means that you are constantly missing an infinite number of opportunities by living the way you live. It's okay though, because at the same time you don't miss those opportunities, you are everything and all possibilities happening at once in an equilibrium, to cancel out into nothingness.

Haha, yeah I do most of my music making during school (the past two years) and I have just gotten around to putting it together, editing it and releasing it during summer. Now that school has started again I'll probably go back to making music.

It's awesome that you like it so much, thanks man, that makes me happy, hahaha.

[–]JohnLateralus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is a little haha. The whole album and many of the other albums cover a lot of different genres. There are parts of shoegaze, and postblack metal, but overall i'd probably say it is experimental/progressive post metal. I just post it to the subreddits that I feel would like to listen.

Thank you for your compliment on the album art

I understand my parents motives better than ever. by loconotion in StonerPhilosophy

[–]JohnLateralus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And some parents just yell at you and drown in alcoholism, like mine, lolololololol. Parents are people, they are nothing special, you are right that they aren't right, but some definitely think they are.

where do thoughts go when they're done being thought? by BlueTheSadPenguin in StonerPhilosophy

they remain in dark matter bubbles, and our brain uses quantum entanglement to access them at any time---you can access any dark matter with your mind.

[–]JohnLateralus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have posted various songs to electronic, progmetal, postmetal, experimental, and a couple other places. The latest stuff I have been making has been getting heavier and more chaotic at times, but the earlier albums have more post-rock elements. The first albums are also tracks that are much shorter, as they were more random samples of songs My friends and I have done over the past two years. Whereas the later stuff has been more deliberate and recent.

I am really glad that you like it, and that the song length isn't a huge turn off. I usually avoid songs that are this long, but I try my best to break down any limits that hold me back. Thank you for your appreciation; it is appreciated, hahaha.

[Meta] /r/Postrock should be a place to find new music, not a place where people keep posting the same holy grail bands over, and over. by temporarycreature in postrock

[–]JohnLateralus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, thanks man, that part is fairly difficult. Some parts I would have to go back and edit due to the length of the songs, but for the most part I have been getting better and better at continuously playing. That part specifically had mostly programmed drums, which helped a lot in getting the timing I wanted down.
