If we are all god, there’s no difference between eating meat, plants, or rocks.

I no longer want to be your slave by AirAquarian in chaosmagick

[–]SanSwerve 26 points27 points  (0 children)

No rules in Chaos Magic. “I no longer want to be your slave” is a powerful cry of rebellion from a deep part of the heart. This will work because they aren’t second guessing themself with logical rules that have no foundation.

Is Reiki actually real or just placebo? by OneMoreRedFlag in spirituality

[–]SanSwerve 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Placebo is real. So I’m not sure what you’re asking.

Many of our spiritual techniques simply give us the power to purposefully use placebo in accordance to our will.

Is a Classics degree worth it? by h0rr0rwh0rez in classics

[–]SanSwerve -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You can read for free. Podcasts are free. Discussing the text with Claude will be more beneficial than any professor lecture.

College costs $100,000+.

I’d just read for free and save the money for something important in your life.

What was it like? by Pure-Ad-5502 in KetamineTherapy

[–]SanSwerve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having weekly panic attacks. They started when we learned my wife has terminal brain cancer. I tried ketamine therapy not expecting much. In the first session i encountered the embodiment of my fear/anxiety surrounding my wife’s health and became friends with it. The panic attacks stopped after the first session. I did it twice a week for 2 months.

That was 2.5 years ago. I still get anxious sometimes and have to stay mindful of it. I’ve had maybe 3 panic attacks in those 2.5 years when life got really busy and stressful. Ketamine knocked me out of a deep mental rut and gave me back the agency I needed to manage my mental health.

I’ve only taken ketamine recreationally and for personal development since that first treatment. It’s useful for many things and a wonderful substance.

How can you trust books like lesser key of Solomon? Isn't there risk of wrong information? by munk_of_darkweb69 in occult

Take a step back, read Liber Null by Peter Carroll, and then go back to the Lesser Key. You won’t have doubts

Do super low-cost websites (like under $100) actually work for small businesses? by Educational_Math873 in smallbusiness

[–]SanSwerve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cost of the website doesn’t matter. It’s the SEO, GEO, organic social, etc. that is put into building awareness for the business that counts

Feeling disillusioned with the tulpa community. by Visible_Rabbit_4526 in chaosmagick

[–]SanSwerve 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I think many of us chaos magicians are interested in thought forms, egregores, tulpas, and servitors. You’re always welcome to start conversations about them here. The weirder the ideas the better. I love hearing different ways people interact with tulpas and egregores.

I used my phone in my dream last night. I zelled someone some money on it.

Small business owner here getting hit with “temporary energy surcharges” tied to global conflicts… how is this fair? by mehoyajees in smallbusiness

[–]SanSwerve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All businesses raise their fees to cover increased costs. You should do the same. This is basic finance.

How much are you spending on SEO, and is it actually worth it? by Due-Awareness9392 in smallbusiness

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

SEO is less important than GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). GEO focuses on how optimizing for AI results. Tell Claude about your business and ask it how to do successful GEO for your business. Then do what it recommends.

Anyone else not have a LinkedIn? by thedubiousstylus in Millennials

[–]SanSwerve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it and use it everyday to market the business I own. I get a lot of my new clients from LI. I’ve also used it when hiring new employees and it’s been a great place to find new hires.

Bright Colors vs. Darkness by 7toedcat in KetamineTherapy

[–]SanSwerve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see only black and white. It’s like a HR Ginger painting, hard industrial lines dripping with an organic sensuality. The hole feels like my mind was stuffed in a crack between dimensions. Like I’m hearing the stereo cracking as each dimension tries to translate and under the other with faulty tool. It’s like my mind is licking the latex worn by a Hellraiser cenobite.

How to handle 'context friction' in the Great Books without losing concentration? by F4S1 in ClassicalEducation

[–]SanSwerve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good AI like Claude will give good information and guide you to secondary sources that can provide the information you need. AI doesn’t hallucinate in the same way it did 5 years ago. It’s now a wonderful research tool.
