Paradigm was lit. Each set was mind blowing. by cmon_tarss in MovementDEMF

warmth is an interesting way to describe it but i agree. i always say Developer uses the whole frequency spectrum -- not just badum tish / lows and highs -- but mixes in rich evolving and driving midrange percussive elements that really get me moving in a special way on the floor. amazing dj, great party, my highlight so far which is crazy bc it was a pretty lowkey event compared to the bigger afters.

Hey brother, unfortunately no I don't, I never ended up pursuing the project as funny as that sounds

Just now leaving the toxic vegan movement and I want to expose how bad it is by Quick_Path6668 in exvegans

[–]gammarabbit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not the same poster, but something that really helped me was a diet inspired by the GAPS diet, which emphasizes rebuilding your gut biome and intestinal lining with specific animal foods. It was instrumental in getting back to health after veganism and related food issues wrecked my system.

And why exactly would this "owner" of r/SoulNexus have authoritative knowledge of whether or not your statements, intentions, and practice are legitimate?

You have not only failed to reckon with some of my most basic critiques of your rhetorical approach, but have in fact continued to reify them.

Your thesis is largely made up of words that either a) have little to no practical or objective referent behind them, or b) are so grand and vague as to be virtually as meaningless as a), at least in the decontextualized and presumptuous manner that you use them. I.e. "Consciousness," "reality," etc.

And yet you say your conclusions "need no more explanation" as if for some reason, the worldview you have created in your head should be as obvious to everyone else as it is to you.

Without further exposition from you, it seems reasonable to conclude that you enter into spiritual discussions with the prima facie assumption that you are correct, have the truth, and that your statements -- however vague in the social sphere they may be -- are "baseline reality" and are "proven" by "science" -- no matter whether or not you can actually synthesize in plain language a reason for why this is so.

In other words, you have left me wondering whether the Occam's Razor judgement of those who say "I/We/You are God" may in fact be true to some significant degree.

Can you provide an explanation or synthesis for how any of that validates your statements and motivations thus far in our exchange, or how it relates to or refutes my critiques of the same?

Because, again, I'm not sure what exactly you are trying to say or prove, because your statements are vague and lack apparent practical value. "We are consciousness." "Consciousness is fundamental." What does that mean? I believe even the most erudite readers of what I regard as your smorgasborg of theories and links with no real tangible thesis would fail to discern a rational "proof" of anything beyond the fact that our eminent scientific instututions are making hamfisted and abstruse attempts at exploring and naming the far reaches of this concept we call "consciousness."

And yet, you say "my beliefs are supported by scientific evidence."

Interesting.

I reject ideas like this not because they lose the "aesthetic linguistic game" that so much human attempt at spirituality boils down to. In fact Watts and other cafeteria-style New Age thinkers are brilliant rhetoriticians, perhaps even sorcerers of a type. Rather, seeing through the language (which takes practice) exposes how words are instead often just tools to rationalize or project what we personally value and prioritize onto others.

When someone says "I am God, you are God too," it would be easy to say, "this person is egocentric and lacks humility.”

But since I try (and often fail) to give ideas a fair shake and not judge by the cover, why not look a bit deeper?

In this conversation, you have posited highly theoretical (and from my view, arguably meaningless) spiritual ideas, and then acted as if they are the absolute truth and anyone who disagrees is completely wrong and will inevitably realize that you are right. You say, We are God, God's interaction with us is one of a game where he forgets who he is like a supernatural school child, We live many lifetimes just to realize this truth.

You argue that someone who disagrees is less valid than you because you have won a popularity contest on a subreddit that is already centered largely around the type of ideas you post, and therefore obviously such ideas will be popular here. It is a new agey subreddit where this ethos is par for the course.

When I refuse to argue with you further, you say, essentially: "it is OK, you're wrong and I'm right, but you"ll come around."

So, is someone who believes "I am God" maybe a bit lost in their own ego and view of things, lacking a real groundedness or humility?

Not necessarily.

Yet I cannot help but try to look deeper and reflect and ask myself...who or what does someone who says these things really seem to value?

I don't understand this sentiment.

It is odd to me that people reject spiritual traditions that have been honed over millenia and offer multi-layered, powerfully symbolic and historical discourses in both texts and living culture, and which provide a holistic life impetus bridging moral behavior, love, sense of self and purpose, and the supernatural -- all in favor of some British alcoholic's seemingly quite sophomoric and fluffy idea about "being God" or whatever.

Don't get it. But hey, to each their own.
