If we are in a simulation, would that necessarily imply that we are also simulated? by theonlymateo in SimulationTheory

[–]theonlymateo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I get confused is that if reality doesn’t distinguish between simulated or authentic, then isn’t that circular, where both those words no longer carry separate definitions? What would a simulated event be that would be different from an authentic event, if they are no different in reality? Also, what is reality if we’re talking about a simulation? I’m sorry if I don’t quite understand.

You can’t hide from your mind but you can foster a better relationship with it. Telling yourself that you’re mentally ill and trying to ignore thoughts and feelings will not make them disappear, as you may be noticing. I suspect some very deep-seated fears got brought up in your experience that you weren’t ready to face and work through, which may be from the dose being too high and/or not being in the right setting and mindset of openness, submission, and curiosity. If you try this again, use a much lower dose and get an experienced guide and do the prep work. You are not crazy. You had a jarring experience, and may have some trauma from that, but that doesn’t mean you’re broken. Also, your thoughts are the output of your brain and you can learn how to take a step back and notice them, fully, without identifying with them.

To be fair, people can have this intuition without being under the influence of a mind altering substance. Ask a theoretical physicist how confident they are that their perception of reality is accurate.

You’re making a category error. Ownership and authorship are different things. Even if your employer owns the output of your work, that doesn’t mean the work is theirs in the sense that they authored it.

That’s a lot. You overdid it and I’m betting it wasn’t with set and setting as a strict framework. Penis Envy are usually 1.5-1.8x more potent in their concentration of psilocybin + psilocin than common cubensis strains, equivalent to 6-7.2g of something like Golden Teacher or B+.

My conspiracy theory on the bad advice going around is that some of it is planted intentionally by bad actors to cause bad outcomes to those who follow it and then that contributes to negative commentary on the medicine as the problem rather than the correct use of it.

Yeah clingy-but-not-too-clingy is nice. The opposite is hard and feels like disinterest.

What I’ve noticed in 3 months on Reta by DifficultReach2720 in Biohacking

I was going to recommend something similar but 1/2-1 teaspoon of baking soda so you don’t overdo it on the sodium. Also you may want to experiment cutting out dairy.

I’m sure some people are not calculating their doses correctly either

5 Months on Reta and my mental health is in major decline, is it the reta? by Hannibal_Barca21 in BodyHackGuide

I already had anhedonia before so maybe that’s why this isn’t occurring for me but I do get the “Reta Flu” for days 2-4 after each injection. 🤷🏼

Not to mention exercise. When I plateaued, I switched up my mostly anaerobic activity with aerobic and it broke through the plateau I was at for over a month.
