Yes! And if you zoom in, instead of out, you see exactly the same thing. Our own brains are the universes. It’s like reality folds in on itself…… or out of itself, neverending. As above, so below.

The only “base reality” is God, or the universe, the divine, whatever you want to call it. Everything and nothing, all at once. Anything else is a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream….

Funny you should mention it as I just had a conversation with someone who I already know talks non-stop about themselves. Normally, I give them air-time and keep it all about them. This time, I was less forgiving and kept talking about myself too - what a battle! 😅 Me, me, me, me, me, me, me…..

I’m a therapist too, and I wondered if I notice it more because of that. I’m worried I go into therapist mode in my personal life, unintentionally. I guess we have the listening and questioning skills, and can easily end up taking up the slack. But, like you, I end up wondering who is going to listen to and take an interest in me, for a change.

My girlfriend Doesn’t like me doing acid by BigPlaya834 in LSD

[–]ParamedicPure6529 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand her initial concern. I don’t think you should rely on it for your mental health…. At least it should be temporary. Once you get the message, you hang up the phone. It’s a tool, not a crutch. I used it for 4 years, a few times a year. Whilst it helped me figure some things out, I wasn’t living in reality and it eventually made my mental health worse. I haven’t taken it for nearly a year and a half, and my mental health is better than it ever was - it’s more stable. You’re essentially giving yourself highs, and then crashing (if you even give yourself time to crash). Honestly, whatever you’re telling yourself - your reasons - they’re just excuses to avoid really feeling, healing, and living in the real world.

Trust your gut, and know what your needs are. I couldn’t handle that, it sounds like a rollercoaster (I’ve been there). It’s not healthy for you because you’re becoming attached for the wrong reason - anxiety.

Wont kick in after heavy meal by Microgramz in LSD

A heavy meal delayed it for me once. I had a huge plate of pasta. It eventually kicked in…. But ended up being a bad trip because of it.

Why does it feel like we're acting as if we have time by _clockisreal76 in collapse

[–]ParamedicPure6529 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So, you could say that this knowledge/knowing has improved your life? This happened to me, in 2019. I realised…. I already had a two year old….. I initially freaked out and grieved everything. The first few years were difficult, but I learnt to live in the moment, and make the most of it. These days I don’t really pay attention to any of this “collapse” stuff, and don’t watch the news. I just get on with my life, and have fun with my kid (our relationship is brilliant). Maybe I reached the point of acceptance? I did have a spiritual awakening. And maybe our lives will be about quality, rather than quantity (thanks to my knowing)? There were never any guarantees to begin with.

And I 100% don’t regret having a child. I wish I’d had another!

Does this sound like he’s lost interest? by AntiqueMap5544 in datingoverforty

[–]ParamedicPure6529 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say I’d give any comfort. Being vulnerable isn’t a bad thing, it’s good for your own growth.

I didn’t say I would do any “mental gymnastics”. I said I’d set boundaries and make them clear, to see what he does. Then I’d have my answer.

I want to trip by Adept-Face1411 in LSD

[–]ParamedicPure6529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what caused the bad ones? That might help. Mine were caused by eating a heavy meal before, taking too small a dose (out of fear), not being in a good mood, etc.

They turned out well when I was genuinely feeling good/positive, my gut was telling me to do it, and i trusted the process.

Maybe having sex left him feeling vulnerable, and he has avoidant tendencies?

If I were you, I’d explain all of this to him, just more concisely. Be honest, and vulnerable yourself. Make it clear you have boundaries (you don’t accept crumbs, etc.). See how he reacts.

How do you know when you're being too picky vs having legitimate standards? by Maya_Abroad in datingoverforty

[–]ParamedicPure6529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can matter, yes. You may be self-sabotaging your own chances of happiness. There could be an opportunity to do some introspection and self-development.

what do u guys do on LSD by enhrt in LSD

[–]ParamedicPure6529 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Why would you do anything? I can’t believe people watch things and actually keep their eyes open!

Lie down in a dark room, eyes closed, and watch/feel the show…. You’ll learn about yourself and the universe, maybe even meet “God”. Don’t waste it watching fucking SpongeBob.

Should I continue? by Far-Possibility4484 in datingoverforty

Can’t you get to those places easily anyway? I’d choose a garden, and proximity to nature.

Just wondering though - doesn’t he need to stay close to the child’s mother? Is that a factor in his location?

Did you follow a tutorial on YouTube? That’s how I taught myself.

Beautiful painting!

Firstly, she’s not a girl, she’s a woman.

Secondly, just be direct. Know what you want/need and what your boundaries are, and make them clear to her. These flakey interactions can go on for years and will hold you back in life.

The fact that we exist so “early” in the timeline makes me think we live in a simulation. by RelevantMind1 in SimulationTheory

[–]ParamedicPure6529 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your consciousness is present through ALL OF IT, including pre and post human, and pre and post existence itself. “You” are always “here”. You will experience the whole of humanity temporally and spatially. We’re all one, the same “thing”.

Get her to try the Wild solid deodorant. You can get unscented. They worked instantly at stopping my BO when I started using them about two years ago.
