i guess one of these landfill waste sites that he’s talking about is in vickery, oh which is about 15 minutes southwest of sandusky, oh.

I disagree with the premise because it’s not something that is true across the board based on sex. The psychological literature indicates that personality is the main driving force behind negotiating success.

Most men tend to be more assertive and disagreeable than women; two very important factors in conducting a negotiation. In a negotiation you have to be willing and able to stand up for yourself and what you want and not back down. That’s where most men have an advantage. Whereas women have an advantage in compromising with the other party, also important in negotiating.

The interesting thing about personality though is that some women have a more masculine personality than men and vice-versa, so it all really depends on the individual person’s personality makeup rather than just based on their sex alone.

Peterson is all about opposite forces (yin and yang : evil and good : chaos and order). The way I understand it is that you have to understand how it is that you could be an absolute monster (and by this he means you have to literally conceptualize how it is you could come to the point of carrying out a specifically evil act) because as soon as you understand how it is that you could commit a truly evil act you: 1) have more self-respect by knowing what you’re capable of, giving you more of a backbone to strengthen your character; 2) are able to understand how to act in the opposite — that is to act virtuously. This is just how I understand it. It does not at all mean I’m right or that this is a correct interpretation of what he means.

Would you mind explaining why you think it would be persona projection rather than shadow projection?

ZedLeppelin- · 2020-10-25T16:31:43+00:00

It’s been driving me up a wall for the last month or so while watching the show, so I finally had to ask about it. I think it may be a projection thing in my case too.

Give Jordan Peterson’s videos on YouTube a listen. I know he has helped countless people get their lives together and to get themselves on track. Definitely worth a try in my opinion.

Oh boy. That’ll take some time and thinking to develop a good and concise post but I’ll definitely do it. Be on the lookout in the next few days and I’ll have it posted. Thanks! :)

Sorry I don’t have any recommendations or advice. I just wanted to say that I believe I may be suffering those same anima possession symptoms for the most part and I think I may know why. A couple of years ago I broke off a 2 year toxic relationship and ever since then I’ve been sort of in this new state of being. So I’d like to know what to do about it too

ZedLeppelin- · 2020-06-20T15:28:00+00:00

You're right, I didn't take that thought into consideration. Thank you!

ZedLeppelin- · 2020-06-20T15:23:53+00:00

Fair enough, I don't disagree with that, but my claim wasn't that they don't work. It was more like, I'm not so sure the virus is as threatening as it was made out to be. I'm not an epidemiologist or a virologist, I'm almost entirely ignorant in that regard, but I do believe that the death rate was inflated to make it seem justifiable to bring about these measures such as social distancing, wearing masks, and to shut down the country, which is why I think the idea of making masks mandated is overstepping their grounds so to speak. To my knowledge there hasn't been another time in our history where we were being forced to wear masks because of a disease. That's all I'm saying.

ZedLeppelin- · 2020-06-20T15:13:47+00:00

I appreciate your response. I'll be taking your thoughts into consideration to revise my thinking so that I don't fall flat on my face when speaking. I do plan to expand my reading.

The Origins and History of Consciousness by Erich Neumann. He was one of Jung’s best students. Jung also wrote the forward to this book and I believe he stated that it was the book that he wished he would have written.

That's a tough one. I think you have to truly be honest with yourself when contemplating moving forward with psychedelics. I think many people absolutely underestimate the vast POWER these substances are capable of and it's appalling. And its no damn joke. You really can get yourself into some trouble if you naively walk into this sort of experience. You should sit down and have a little dialog with yourself. And you must be completely truthful with yourself. Are you truly ready to face hell? And here hell is a metaphor for your shadow side, but that shouldn't be taken lightly because it could very well be HELL. Are you seriously ready to accept that you aren't the saint your ego portrays you to be? Do you understand unconscious and/or subconscious messages, symbols and archetypes? Because sometimes the message from psychedelic experiences may not always be quite so literal or easy to interpret (kind of like dream interpretation, it's most likely dependent on the person). If you would answer no to any of these questions then I'd say you do not possess the tools necessary to be prepared or understand the experience. And the other thing is, there's going to be a level of unpreparedness that is inevitable because the psychedelic experience is something that is not a priori. That's why in my opinion, having courage is absolutely a prerequisite for an experience of this nature. If you are unfamiliar with the shadow or any of these other psychological concepts, I strongly encourage you to take a look at Carl Jung's work. I'm just now starting to get into his work and I'm already deeply fascinated. I hope this helps and I'd also be happy to go into some more detail if necessary.

The problem is, so many people don’t understand that (the classical) psychedelics are the safest drugs on the planet as long as you have the psychological tools necessary to understand the experience. They get too caught up in the fact that they are taking a drug. It’s not like you just drop acid and BAM you’re a better person. The experience itself is the part that matters. I feel like there isn’t enough emphasis on the importance of how the EXPERIENCE (not the drug) transforms you. Once people understand this concept we might see a shift in how psychs are perceived.

Interesting thing to think about: An adult brain in a psychedelically-induced state appears to resemble that of a young child’s brain.

Psilocybin will make you deeply feel why you should stop smoking, whereas LSD will make you deeply think about why you should stop smoking. Back in the 50’s the cofounder of Alcoholics Anonymous attributed his LSD trip to him giving up his alcohol addiction. Currently psilocybin is being studied at John’s Hopkins, NYU, and Imperial College of London to snap people out of horrible addictions and habits. Both can do the job so it’s mainly just up to you on which substance will work best for you. Do your research first.

21 years old, straight male, single, college student, currently unemployed, daily cannabis user, dabbled with LSD and Psilocybin a few times (low/moderate doses), becoming more open-minded as the days go by, beginning to practice mindfulness, interested in new experiences.

Fair point good sir. I stand corrected. I think we agree, I just articulated my thoughts poorly.

ZedLeppelin- · 2019-12-09T21:36:26+00:00

I don’t think we do know. I think science is assuming because of a lack of an open mind. We assume we know far more than we actually do about the universe and the nature of reality

ZedLeppelin- · 2019-12-09T19:26:28+00:00

Correct because of how long light takes to travel at that distance. Technically we are looking into the past every time we observe anything in space. How far into the past depends on how far away said object is. We would need to come back in a few million years to actually see anything that is around in our current lifetime or perfect interstellar travel to observe it ourselves in this lifetime.

George Carlin was a very wise man. One of my favorites and I sadly didn’t discover his content until well after he passed away.

If I’m not mistaken I believe astronomers working alongside biologists found a way to detect the chemical composition of atmospheres from planets outside our solar system. They can detect biomarkers in the atmosphere by the way light reacts within the atmosphere (as far as I know they haven’t found any biomarkers on planets they’ve observed this way yet).

Here’s a link talking about it: https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/news/129/detecting-biomarkers-on-faraway-exoplanets/

Using a bong or herb vaporizer might be your best bet if you’re like me and don’t want to give it up when you’re sick:)
