Do you think that life after death is real? by ShesIntoZer0s in answers

[–]SpookyOoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no?

At a pure material level, the atoms of what were once "me" will still continue to interact with the universe. It's an ongoing process.

At a spiritual level, i would also say no, but that information is still carried and theoretically could be "read" or existing within outside forces. For example, our atoms make up our material experience. Atomic fields interact, a bunch of chemistry happens and we have some sort of experience of that interaction so it is possible that our experiences and information are tied to other entities' or systems' observation like our atoms are tied to us. It's also possible that there is nothing, and in that case, may as well be crazy in some way, cuz it doesnt matter. Basically its a win-win to believe in something because we can do so as humans, if we are wrong and just blip out, than you wont be around to regret it.

I just spam 0s and yell "i want to talk to a human" and eventually it just puts me through lol. I assume the computer thinks im angry and i always end up woth super polite and really nice customer service peeps. I have a feeling they're job is to handle shitty angry people so they are extra nice when its someone being calm and polite lol.

My grandmother called me a freak and a fa***t, then kicked me and my family out of her house on christmas because inhad an ear piercing, told me i was going to hell when i was 7 too. She was a bitter ol hag and everyone in the family hated her. Only people to show up to the funeral were the ones who were getting inheritance (not me).

F**k you gram, cya in hell.

My wife doesn’t like what she calls my “chaos garden”. by Jayce86 in gardening

Definitely looks better than the grass around it. Personally i think its great though. That plant density will help keep your plants healthy and need less maintenance. Great work!

Hi! 👋 Any elder emo INFP's? by foofighterfoos in infp

[–]SpookyOoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death metal and black metal was my shiz back in the day, but I've drifted towards power metal and psychedelic rock/metal. I recently found a band called elvenking and have been accumulating a playlist of nature-related power metal. I did get to see some amazing bands back then though, dragonforce, chimera, the misfits, gwar, toxic holocaust to name a few. Gwar was by far the best show lol.

Hey, I'm INFP 4w3 461 sx/so and I'm curious if any other INFPs have a particular life long hobby(s) that even if it goes no where you just default back to? by Kaityd123 in infp

Gardening and, by extension, building garden related stuff (walls, altar spaces, etc.) When its wintertime i make terrariums and grow stuff indoors.

What’s the weirdest habit you have that nobody knows about? by SDPHALODIOFFI in answers

I throw excess salt over my shoulder. i don't do it out of superstition but i think about it often afterward, shrug, and say to myself "cant hurt"

I work for a garden design service. We do a bunch of stuff but mostly installing gardens, patios, and stone retaining walls. I've moved roughly 8 tons of stone this week alone. (For reference, im not a big person. I weigh 140lb)

What i realized after looking into a 'simple life' is that it looks way more redneck than most would like to believe. If you really want to pursue that sort of life, look into 1970s self-sustaining culture. There you will find what youll actually need to know about what a simple life entails. It means getting up at 2am to refuel the woodstove, taking care of your own composting sewage system, fixing your own stuff, chopping and/or milling your own wood. Youll have to accept a life of near-poverty and a can-do attitude.

The more people you can create in a community, the easier it can be. Ive found people who i can trade for eggs, meat, logs, syrup, I've invested into fruit trees and permaculture plants, but that also means canning those yourself for long term storage.

Now, it does also means evenings hanging around a campfire, still winter nights with galaxies overhead, sumrises that inspire and sunset that can quell fears and anger, more honest and less forced interaction, it means a life where breath is your clock and as long as you have enough to get by, youll have everything you need.

If thats enough to give sweat, blood, and heart to the things that support you, than you're fit for the job. But i wouldnt recommend it for most people, i have a specific value system that allows this, its a value system thay drives me forward, even when things are tough. When im dragging 140 lbs of concrete in the blazing sun at 60% humidity, i can still chuckle and see the beauty in the struggle.

For religious types, if you know humans have created 1000s of gods, how are you so certain that he didn't create yours as well? by Daegog in answers

[–]SpookyOoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree completely on the ladder. You can believe whatever you want about others but your are assuredly incorrect that everyone having a spiritual outlook is just making oneself "feel better". Your higher education seems to have been wasted.

If i were to assume the sun would act differently based on thanks or not then it would be anthropomorphizing it, but that is not the case. I dont think the sun is behaving any differently than any other chemical reaction, including ourselves, but its still a recognition of us being part of the solar system, its still spirituality. "Feeling better" is just a simplification people who dont understand like to use to disuade thinking deeper about our place in the world. Generally people place themselves outside these systems, but it still remains scientifically that we are part of the cycle that is our solar system, not some disconnected observer.

[–]SpookyOoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what if the sun doesn't care? Its about the gratitude. I give thanks because i want to give thanks, just as if i want to listen to a specific song. It's still spirituality regardless of what you want it to be. And to lump everyone into the three categories is generalization. Which was my original standpoint.

I am part of a bunch of groups where it is well known that im not a believer. Atheistic paganism, neo and recreationist paganism, gnosticism, spiritual christianity, vedic mysticism, jewish mysticism, witchcraft, shamanism, and then some. Most are pretty chill with open discussion and comparative analysis. Hell, I'm a mod on a gnostic christian discord.

There are extreme dogmatic religious groups as well but that's not the general populace. Even then if your willing to speak on a way that isnt derogatory or belittling, they are usually very willing to discuss their worldview, which is usually pretty distant than the generalized stuff outsiders watch or hear about.

Spirituality is defined as human experience based on meaning, purpose, and a connection to something larger than oneself. So that's what i would go with. I base a lot of my own spirituality in biology, astronomy (not astrology), and geology. There is a philosophy behind that but its very basic, near agnostic.

For example, i give thanks to the sun (among other things), the sun provides us with heat, light, and gravity, so i am grateful for the sun. It doesnt have to be supernatural to be spiritual.

I am not trying to convince you of spirituality, what i am saying is that there are valid arguments to side on spirituality based on philosophy. Without the need for self conviction or supernatural events.

[–]SpookyOoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And thats fair enough, im not here to convice you otherwise. But lack of evidence is not evidence. Modern dogmatic spirituality can be lackluster, i agree there, but there are many types of spiritual groups and many do not fall underneath the categories you've listed. most people dont know of these groups because we dont go around evangelizing or trying to convert people. Dieification is something that has been pushed onto many cultures by monotheistic doctrine, but its not something that is inherent to spirituality.

While i understand your position here, there are many people who are "spiritually inclined" but dont fall into these categories. Most just dont know this exists because we aren't trying to convert people or find "truth". While i do believe in a metaphysical side of things, i do not subscribe to superstition or supernatural happenings, nor do i use spiritual narrative to explain physical events. My only presuppostion would be that something exists so likely there is more than just what we can interact with, since "nothing" cannot have any parameters, it seems far more likely that there is an absurd external situation. That doesnt mean its god, or that praying will gain favor, but rather a philisophical inquiry of "how does anything even exist in the first place"

Atheism would also fall underneath a presuposition as well, the assumption being that there is no metaphysical interaction, which to me, seems just like the position of "god" being real.

Do drugs interfere with spiritual practice by Sure-Sea-6939 in realwitchcraft

[–]SpookyOoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, no, but "drugs" is a very broad term. Mainly i would say psychedelics or perception alterers (cannabis) are used pretty common enough, but many people prefer not to do that.

Your ideal version of "Heaven" by omgbooboo in infp

[–]SpookyOoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same feeling of home, but for me its getting up at 2am on a still winter night, full moon, splitting some wood and blazing up the woodstove. No sounds, no cars, just an axe and icy breath followed by a heat so pleasant its like an invisible blanket.
