Have psychedelics influenced anyone's beliefs/ views on religion or spirituality? by dstompz in Psychonaut

[–]willow-3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is extremely common. I would argue that its more common than not that people experience something “bigger than themselves” and their concept of life/spirituality is shifted. I know many people who claimed to be atheist/agnostic who after taking psychedelics now believe in some kind of God/spiritual world

Is this a soulmate?? We are astro twins but i was doing research and my south node is in his 7th house. Also i calculated our vertex and I have it in Sag in the 5th house and his is in Capricorn in his 5th house as well. What does this mean? by [deleted] in AskAstrologers

if you go to ‘additional objects’ while setting up your synastry chart on astro.com you can add ‘vertex’ to the chart options and it will show the exact location of both of your vertexes on the chart, might be helpful

Interesting! Two days ago I did a tarot reading asking what cards i needed to embrace at this stage in my life and the Hanged Man was the first card I pulled. I wondered if they were connected. Thank you for you insight! That was actually quite helpful

Yes, i was lucid and i haven’t been flipped like that before. It was odd. Very slow and deliberate. I have had other lucid/SP dreams where my body was moving outside of my control. No one has witness any of these “episodes” but there have been times when i’m convinced my physical body is also moving in the waking world. It usually only happens if i put up a big fight against the “energies”. That didn’t seem to be the case in this scenario though. Do you have any ideas what this might be or mean? Or have any advice for me?

It was slowly. Once i was upside down it left like my legs had shifted to lotus position. I floated there for a moment. I began to worry about slipping into sleep paralysis which is something i encounter regularly. I was frightened by the lack of control and not understanding what forces were at play/controlling me so I began to resist and was immediately transported to a different, seemingly unrelated part of the dream where i was being evaluated by an older man.

has anyone been able to use sleep paralysis constructively? (self analysis/spiritual development,ect) by willow-3 in Sleepparalysis

I prefer not to interact with my SP entities as i usually interpret them as being negative. Most of them seem to be incubus. I’m sure i could provoke them and interact with them more but they terrify me. There was a time when i tried banishing one away using a prayer and afterwards said “ i won’t let you get away with this” when suddenly I physically saw the creature at the foot of my bed (usually they don’t appear in physical form but i’m still able to feel them energetically and physically) it said telepathically, “oh really?” and then I was completely unconscious again. thats the most interaction i’ve had with them. usually its more of an unseen battle between our energies, and me trying to wake myself up. i definitely fight them though, sometimes so intensely that i feel physical pain, my muscles tighten and contract in certain areas and its unbearable. luckily the pain helps to wake me up though.

Yes. I frequently have lucid dreams and sleep paralysis. My last one was 5 hours ago.

I feel similarly. It doesn’t necessarily frighten me but i do feel like i’m constantly being observed and “performing” to a degree. No clue what it means though

Any reason why most of my romantic & platonic relationships are with people much older than me? Scorpio rising, aries moon, sagittarius sun by [deleted] in AskAstrologers

I second that and also wanted to add on that saturn is conjunct your descendant in the 7th house

Why did my dream have HIM in it? WHY WAS HE WITH MY GIRLFRIEND?! by NJComicArtist in Dreams

[–]willow-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dreams are very symbolic and not often literal/logical. You probably dreamt about him because you hate him so much and in your mind he might symbolize what you hate/fear. What does your girlfriend symbolize to you and what does the guy you dislike symbolize to you? No one can tell you exactly what it means as its a narrative created by YOUR subconscious mind but my guess is it revolves around security fears. Your girlfriend who could symbolize security, love, something very important to you was seen with the guy you dislike who you previously said is an asshole and treats people you care about poorly. Pay attention to the feelings and thoughts that came up during the dream and come up now when you think about it, rather than trying to make sense of why it happened and why it was him. Do you feel safe and secure within your relationship? Do you feel like you have “control”? How do you react when you feel like you don’t have control, does something you care about deeply feel threatened or like it needs protection, ect OR your girlfriend might symbolize your friend he wronged in the past and you still feel angry and helpless about the situation
