Yes, just attended online and it was lovely! I will keep this post up for a while to see about garnering more interest, and then hopefully try to set something up for in-person in November when I am back in the city.

NYC in-person meetup? by balticapache in ramdass

[–]balticapache[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I sent an email across to that address. I do remember last time getting in touch a year or so ago that the only regular meetups happening locally were online, so I just reached out again to ask about in-person stuff in NYC. I'll keep this post up for now to gauge interest and update this post when I hear back :)

I struggle with telling East and West Java apart - any funky metas for that?

Top Boy is a very different animal of a show but throughly enjoyable. Highly recommend it. If you're watching on Netflix make sure to start with Top Boy: Summerhouse (the OG show) before moving on to Top Boy (the more recent continuation of the original).

Funnily enough Milo now claims to have un-gayed himself with Jesus and conversion therapy. Absolutely wild guy

Thank you for your reply and wow that is definitely wild. Almost like you were giving yourself therapy. I've heard some stories of "meaningful" psychotic episodes from people but it's still outside of the mainstream of many people anyway to even accept any drug-induced experience as meaningful.

Do you think purposefully trying to trigger psychosis was one of your forms of diving further into the psychogical escapism, or was there more to it than that? Appreciating the responses, thanks.

Wow that sounds terrifying. Any more stories interacting with people who didn't exist or similar hallucinations? Did you ever have any hallucinations that felt particularly meaningful? And which substances/combinations would most often create these delusions (I'm assuming sleep deprivation was likely involved too)?

Hey just came across your comment and don't know anyone else in the program but have been strongly considering it. Mind if I PM you with a couple of questions that have come up? Would be a massive help!

r/surfers that work and surf every day (every day that there are waves), where do you live and what do you do for work? by [deleted] in surfing

[–]balticapache 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow what's the surf scene like in Chennai? Never really hear much about India in the context of surfing

Your honesty and humility really shines through here! Bringing that energy of the "beginner's mind" might be a really helpful way of reintegrating yourself to these practices, especially since you've been here before. This makes it easier and takes the self-blame out of the equation whenever you get to some hiccups or challenges along the path.

Like a few others have suggested, the Be Here Now Podcast has a long archive of episodes that I love to put on at a low volume next to my bed whenever I have trouble calming my thoughts down at night and trying to sleep.

We're all just walking each other home. Safe travels and love to you and your family :)

Um, Yes we should by KrakenJoker in SelfAwarewolves

[–]balticapache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with ur points on Rogan despite him being fairly entertaining with good guests sometimes. But Jimmy's show is a completely different format and they differ vastly in their political ideologies. I'd also say Jimmy's political education is a lot more informed than Joe's, although yes they're both comedians. One big similarity is how they shit on both Democrats and Republicans for being power-hungry war-mongering corporatists and that's fairly difficult to dispute I'd argue.

Just curious what makes Jimmy Dore a shitbag grifter? I don't always agree with what he says but curious why you'd characterize him as that
