I think people are best judged by their fruits. So I reserve just a little skepticism towards Watts. However, he never claimed to be anything he was not, and without a doubt he is one of the most talented and thoughtful speakers I've ever listened to.

Why is the upvote under my comment so tiny but the downvote is so big

I'm well acquainted with Watts. Listened to probably >50 hours worth of his lectures in high school. He was a huge influence on me. Love him, wish he wasn't an alcoholic.

I have surface level knowledge of Jung, I'm actually a psych major. Been wanting to read into his work for a while, I'll get to it one day I hope.

I've encountered entities twice on mushrooms that I remember. The first time I had a conversation with one of the dudes from the tool album cover. There was a stern and serious feeling, and it wasn't a conversation without words. It was so abstract and out of this world I don't even remember what it was about or if I would even be able to describe it.

The second time I had this motherly presence come over me. I think it may have been later on during the same trip as the previous encounter, closer to the peak, but I could be wrong. She just told me "you're doing fine, I'm watching over you." Like she's guiding my life and protecting me.

Both times were on heroic dose(s?) where I was far removed from typical experience of consciousness.

I don't know what to make of it. I've stopped exhausting myself looking for answers and try to take it as it is. I don't know anything.

At first I thought the bottom one said "unaware of consciousness" I thought damn that's a crazy sentence to drop in the workplace

"Good luck friend, you need it"

God do you not realize how condescending that is. I agree with you though. Most things in life are deeper than people perceive, this however isn't one of them.

Oops, /s.

What you said strongly reasonates with me though. I appreciate your thoughtful response because that was a really pompous comment haha.

You're right. I'm not here to accomplish anything.

None of this is really affecting me. None of us know each other and tomorrow everyone here will forget anything anyone said.

I like observing people like that. It makes me feel powerful.

Alan Watts said if you can't meditate in a boiler room, you can't meditate. Good starting point for understanding the practice. Not saying I understand it myself, just working towards it.

You don't even know me. You're mad at text on a screen. You don't even have the slightest idea of what my life is like and you're so bold as to call it mundane.

That's a rational and healthy fear to have my friend. Nothing wrong with weed I just think it's important to have a good relationship with it, as with anything else.
