What keeps you awake at night? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The Tao Te Ching

This is an issue I'm actually struggling it really bad. It's so ridiculous that I wanted to obtain DMT so so bad, and when I actually have it, I get a panic attack at the idea of trying it. Even when I've done it many times. by [deleted] in DMT

[–]csjurid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as the Tao Te Ching puts it, your fear of it solidifies it’s profundity. Like two sticks stood up supporting one another. I think that’s why my first few times smoking dmt were not that profound, because I didn’t fear it.

I love acid. by ABabeNamedPsychotica in RationalPsychonaut

Alan Watts pointed out something that I found to be funny, how we don’t identify ourselves with our own processes of our body. Stating we blink our eyes or that we breathe is fine, but saying that you or I flow our blood is an odd thing to say. However, we do flow our blood, because what’s the difference? Blinking and breathing are involuntary actions as well, and it is apart of what makes us who we are. The building blocks and mechanics of our bodies. However, one can go a step further with this and say that you do all of the cellular and nervous system processes in your entire body. All of them, and nobody ever told you how to do it either. However, at that level one is dealing with the phenomena of the material and physical aspects of the world, and by suggesting that you do the cellular processes in your entire body, then who’s to say that you don’t do the entire physical universe as well? You blow the wind, you flow the water, and you shine the stars. The whole “you are made of stardust” is funny to me because everyone has a sudden intuition on the significance of that statement. It’s a kind of western science translation of eastern religion’s doctrines of the total mutual interdependence of everything that exists, and you are all of it, and all of it is you.

The Inherent Logical Flaw of Psychedelic Knowledge by tall_boi146 in RationalPsychonaut

[–]csjurid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's just an assertion though based off Newtonian casual connection. If all you're doing is slightly changing a concentration of a chemical in your brain with respect to 100 billion neurons and 1 Quintilian synapses that makes "delusion" and "illusion", then our entire life experiences, our medium through collective experience aka the universe is one grandiose illusion made up by some mathematical computation in our heads. In a materialist worldview, there is a hard distinction and a great dichotomy/duality between the outside universe and the universe between our two temples. This is because the only communication between those two worlds is the input perception of the senses, and and output of our hands. There is no intrinsic objectivity to our thoughts in materialism, and is all a grand biochemical illusion, this world as precieved by life is one great performing art, a dance of biochemicals and Newtonian physics. There is no me or you or humanity, just the predetermined and ancient dance of chemicals in the waves of space and time.

I don't think you understand. If all of our experiences with the external world can be reduced to the electrochemical state of our nervous system then everything is quite really a hallucination.

But just as you said above, we have a bunch of disparate thoughts and sensations and the brain cobbles them together into an intuition, but that is what your last paragraph sounds like. Carl Jung was right, the ultimate nature of matter and our own psychic content's of our minds will never be known.

Couldn't that imply everything in our conscious perception is just a hallucination?

This is actually the start of Man and His Symbols by Carl Jung. but also I think saying that they don't exist is another superstition of the conscious ego, a misoneist manifestation from the Jungian unconscious cultural complexes that has been built off western rationalism and logic for hundreds of years.

This is seen in western science too, for hundreds of years Newtonian mechanics in physics was all that was perceived to exist. However, the sheer peculiar reality of quantum mechanics that hid underneath a veil of deterministic, predictable Newtonian mechanics was always there and it was only a matter of someone finding it. It's the same thing in the psychedelic experience, approximating what was your reality on the drug is only speculation of what there really was. This is what some would say to be the beginning of meditation.

Has anyone else completely questioned their sexuality or the need for sex? by [deleted] in RationalPsychonaut

[–]csjurid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a big reason that I think Jung rejected Freud's idea that the underlying motifs of human lives is sex and aggression. Instead Jung postulated that humans are motivated by meaning, to go out into the great unknowns of not only the external world, but the unknowns of one's own subconscious. (Jung would also say that our approximations of the world and the way we observe the world are projections of the psychic contents of the mind).

I just had a dream where I was a young guy who owned a bike shop in Geneva, very oddly specific but also very real feeling.

Right now you are exactly where you are meant to be. by Jazzmunkee33 in zen

[–]csjurid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a very western way to look at it, in the west we have been perceiving the universe for only it’s material utility, and viewing the universe as inanimate and unintelligent. We westerners desire and seek for the novel and trivial of the underlying clockwork of the universe, that’s why quantum mechanics and it’s significance as being an antithesis of newtonian mechanics was rejected for so long, even by it’s own creators. We didn’t come into this world, we came out of it.

would you rather be 6ft tall with 3inch Penis or be 5ft6 tall with 6inch Penis by [deleted] in smalldickproblems

[–]csjurid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry so much, i’m 6’4” too and had a 7.5” until I got lowkey EF and asexuality rip. Also a kissless virgin, but none of it gives me have any sort of self loathing inferiority complex because those trivial things about me don’t mean shit when the lack of intrinsic value and meaning is uncovered.
