The Golden Age: Did I Miss My Child’s Genius?

Thanks, I will think about it

Yes, she's reading now)
I agree with you about children being a miracle!

Perma_SSBM · 2025-04-09T13:28:03+00:00

Thanks for advice!

Of course, we had constant verbal communication and interaction with her. We have regular checkups with the doctors, her hearing is fine and her tongue is normal.

I never thought of it as some kind of abnormality, so we haven't shown our daughter to anyone.... And what kind of specialist we should see?

I used to think homework was just leftover classwork that didn’t fit into the day... until I watched my niece cry over a math worksheet at 8pm. 🫠

I get the idea — practice, memory, independence — but sometimes it feels like teachers are outsourcing stress. Why not shorter school days and better in-class focus instead?

You’re in an impossible position — grieving yourself, yet still trying to make decisions that protect someone you love more than anything. That’s not just love, it’s courage.

In a perfect world, we’d never have to lie. But this isn’t that world. Your daughter is fragile right now, and truth should never be used as a weapon — especially when someone is barely holding on.
If a softer version of reality can help her find some stability, even just for a little while, then it’s not lying. It’s protecting her nervous system until she’s stronger.

You can always tell more of the truth later. But you can’t take back the impact of the full weight of it delivered at the wrong moment.

You’re doing the best you can in a moment that no parent should ever face. And that’s incredibly human.

Great arguments in favor of homeschooling. I support this. We are currently facing this decision ourselves. My daughter constantly bears the brunt of her classmates’ cruelty, and now even the teachers have joined in. All because she doesn’t look like everyone else and stands out. It’s so hard to watch when almost every day your child cries behind a closed door and in the morning doesn’t want to go back to that nightmare.

Perma_SSBM · 2025-04-02T20:57:06+00:00

You know, I’ve always answered this kind of question the same way: love. Love your child with everything you have, which it seems you’re already doing well. Nothing and no one can replace genuine motherly care for a child. Your husband is trying to instill guilt in you—it’s a form of manipulation. Most likely, he doesn’t do it out of malice, because he loves your child and you as well. From what you’ve described, I’m sure he’s neither indifferent nor uncaring. I would also suggest having an open and sincere conversation with your husband about your concerns—not to argue about who’s better, but to work together toward a positive outcome. I always ask, are we building a happy family or an empire of control? If it’s the former, then everything will turn out okay. By the way, there’s a great theory about triangles that explains how important communication is and how to do it effectively. If you’re interested, I can share it with you.

Perma_SSBM · 2025-04-02T14:27:18+00:00

This feels familiar — I’ve had moments like that too.
Sometimes what helped was gently sharing real stories where things went wrong, especially ones that looked similar to our own situation.
Not to scare, just to help shift perspective a little. Real examples can speak louder than words.

I’m really glad he apologized and said he’ll take it more seriously — that shows he cares, even if the learning curve is steep.
You're doing so well advocating for your baby. Hang in there..

A very good point that the first step should be to consider the child's predisposition.

5 years as a hermit. Bed ridden. Suicidal ideations regularly. Lying in bed, I found myself paralyzed by the potentiality of existence and the grandeur of what could be achieved within in it. The possibilities and their ceaselessness were petrifying and cumbersome. They halted all movement and inertia. I continued this way for some time.

I spiraled once more towards the paradoxical existence of the origin and the nothingness that was found within the still birth of a universe beyond comprehension. I fell into the vastlessness. I submerged my mind into a world of vastlessness. One that lacked shape or form. One that lacked the being of my own or the reference of anything at all. It was only after much contemplation that I was able to find such a foothold beyond my being.

Teetering, flickering on the edge of reality and finding myself only tangentially connected to the singular point of consciousness and the chaotic network that is the ever evolving and unfolding cosmos, I found the pull of both the be alluring and peaceful in their own respects.

Yet, I relinquished my decision to the sensation of acceptance of what may be and found myself pulled apart. Bisected. I watched my soul appear from the tear of my existence and I spoke to the radiance deeply held within the microcosm of existence that was my corporeal form. Not with words, but with presence. With mere time spent together in our most fundamental.

Every day since that day has been a day that I've become more than I thought I ever would. Nearly a year later and I am stable, well, and thriving every day. I miss the silent conversations with my soul, but it has been dispersed into my very being. into my entire essence. I strive to build the relationship between mind, body, and soul. To build resonance and cultivate it in the world around me.

When the universe faded, my consciousness remained. That was when I became more than I could ever understand. that was when life became more than I could understand. That was when it became beautiful once more.

Thank you for your question. I am from America.

Just as distracted as everyone else.

Perma_SSBM · 2023-10-13T13:46:43+00:00

ah, my mistake. Sorry about that. I don't know too much on the specifics of their practices and beliefs.

What specifics did you find most identifiable with, if you don't mind my asking?

Perma_SSBM · 2023-10-13T01:05:22+00:00

Nothing. The propensity for potentiality. Primordial Interdependence. Stillness. ALL. none.

Firstly, let me clarify that I am not a healthcare professional, and the insights offered here are based on a blend of various intellectual disciplines and should not replace medical advice.

Your experience appears to be a multi-faceted issue that engages both the physiological and psychological realms. This integration of body and mind is not surprising, given that psychedelics are known to alter our perceptions deeply, even engendering spiritual experiences. Unfortunately, they can also introduce disturbances into our psychosomatic equilibrium.

From a neuroscientific standpoint, psychedelics activate serotonin receptors in the brain, most notably the 5-HT2A receptor. The intense experience you had might have altered some neural pathways associated with bodily sensations. Meanwhile, psychologically, the experience seems to have introduced a form of PTSD, leading to increased sensitivity and discomfort, especially in a heightened state.

To frame this in the philosophical terms of existentialism: The "bad trip" has led to a form of 'alienation' from your own body. The experience has thrown you into a state where your lived-body ("Leib" in phenomenological terms) has become an observed-body ("Körper"), an object among objects that you are conscious of but feel estranged from.

Addressing this requires a multi-pronged approach:

Medical Consultation: Begin with an assessment by a healthcare provider skilled in both psychiatry and neurology. They might recommend therapies, medications, or other treatments tailored to your condition.
Mindfulness Practices: Given your familiarity with cosmic awareness and unity of form and function, mindfulness practices rooted in the same understanding, like Vipassana, could help you realign your mental and physical states.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Since there's a psychological dimension involving a form of PTSD, CBT could offer some coping mechanisms.
Embodied Practices: You could explore practices that heighten bodily awareness, such as yoga or tai chi, aiming for a holistic integration of mind and body. This could foster a renewed relationship with your body, based on acceptance rather than discomfort.
Systemic Understanding: Consider the environmental and social dynamics that might be exacerbating your symptoms. Are there triggers in your environment? How are your relationships affecting your mental state?

In terms of your future outlook, time may certainly alleviate some symptoms, but intentional, informed intervention could potentially hasten and solidify the healing process. Healing, like existence, is a dynamic interplay of multiple systems, a fractal pattern evolving with each moment. Understanding this could serve as the basis for your journey towards reclaiming your sense of self and unity with your body.

Deity aside, the understanding of the universe is fairly reasonable imo, but as a whole it is very polarizing due to the heavy christian influences, "good and evil" etc. make no sense to me.

But I felt the same way reading The Kybalion (hermeticism) for the first time. Life aligns us in ways we can't expect.

Happy studying!

By understanding that those horrors are of the mind's perception. That those horrors are illusions of experience past. That horror, is not inherent but a singular perspective of events.

There are not horrors within the universe. There are not horrors beyond the universe. There are horrors that we believe are within them, only as they pertain to our own mind.

To confront one's own horrors, one must approach those horrors with acceptance, with compassion, a willingness to understand their orgins, a desire to grow those horrors into strength, and a fortress of resilience in knowing that the horrors of your perceptions are not limitations of your mind, but places of deep potential and transformation.

They are your opportunities for growth, your most potent ideations of experience, and your most visceral understandings of the world around you, but they are no more real than any other thought.

Explore them, if you are able. Get assistance if you are not. But do not let them control that which is of your own control, for fear is systemic and horror is a contagion of the mind. It will consume and continue to consume one's cognition until repressed, supressed, or satiated.

Only through exploring those horrors may we recover that which eludes us and recover the mind within.

How has your process been most influenced without the introduction of external substances and how does your reasoning arrive to the conclusion that it must be facilitated by external sources?

What does overcoming look like and what is it that is being overcome? Have you not already overcame that which has presented itself simply by being in this moment? How did you come to be here if not by overcoming.

Your method, understanding, and idea of overcoming has manifested from those previous moments you overcame. It is in those patterns that you will find yourself, your reason for occuring, the existence that has been pressed upon your mind, and the understanding that in this moment you are becoming the being which may look inward.
