I’m surprised he is fighting this one to such a ridiculous extreme with these none stop last ditch efforts. Do his supporters even care that he screwed a porn start and then tried to cover it up with some sort of tax fraud? I thought people generally accept that he did all this and I doubt many people will be surprised if he is convicted. Is there some bombshell piece of evidence waiting to drop in the trial that he is so desperate to avoid?
The thing they helped me was working with a therapist to deal with my feelings about leaving the Church. My therapist isn’t Catholic and was very supportive and understanding.
I don’t think I’ve ever met a Catholic who isn’t a “cafeteria Catholic” to some degree. My Mom is the most hardcore Catholic in know and quite conservative. She has talked about how she struggled with using birth control once they decided to stop having kids. I think the Church and local Priests piled on the guilt. I’m not sure where she ended up on the “feeling guilty but doing it anyway vs. I don’t care I’m doing it anyway” scale of going against Church teachings but my guess is she mostly took the “feeling lots of guilt” route.
I usually get “every group has a few bad apples” when raising concerns about Priests Gone Bad. I haven’t found an effective rebuttal for people who are ingrained in the Church and its dogma. They have to want to change. I just try to avoid the endless debate or “agree to disagree”.
I feel like the game moves more and more into “pay to play” for new Pokémon. I’ve hatched hundreds of eggs since Larvesta was released and still haven’t hatched one. I’ve stopped spending money and just catch what I can.
I would break all sorts of traffic laws if I heard my local store had gluten free Fudge Strips. Add in some vanilla ice cream and I’d be a happy camper.
I have had a couple of non duality moments that have scared me in ways you describe. I have felt like I was losing my grasp on my body in a way that first felt like a deeper oneness with the universe and non duality but then left me feeling shaken up like I was really letting go in a way I wouldn’t be able to find myself back. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression many years ago and more recently ADHD. I’m not sure if what I experienced with heading towards psychosis but it certainly felt like it was.
I hear ya. I first did a high-dose mushroom trip at 30 and even with some prior therapy sessions and personal growth, it was a terrifying experience that I struggled with for some time. After reading about the research I decided to try again at 50. It was also terrifying but I let go and had the most beautiful healing experience of my life.
I've been cutting back on stuff I find I just don't need. In the past, I would have bought some random stuff, tried some new snack at the store, some funny little gadget or nic-nak. These days I'm buying just the minimum. It's rather freeing. I have far less junk at home and am throwing out less uneaten food. I hope I can keep this up even when inflation comes down.
I had similar insights after a high-dose mushroom trip. I grew up Catholic, steeped in the sin and redemption culture with far more focus on sin and far too little focus on redemption. The psychedelic insight that surprised me was, that it's impossible to teach another person to believe in a religion. By that I mean, you can teach it up to a point. We are taught various bits of scripture and how to interpret it, but when we take the next step toward spirituality and a more personal experience, that is an experience that differs from person to person and transcends any one set of religious teachings.
Interesting experience, thank you for sharing. It fascinates me all of the different possibilities of trips. The point where you mentioned trying to grab familiar memories, I had a similar experience on DMT once, I couldn't break through until I stopped trying to hold on to the memories. Loops can be the worst, they are the one feature of the psychedelic experience I just can't seem to handle very well.
Are there many recorded cases of people dying on high dose trips? I’ve heard a few stories about people walking into traffic or stepping off of high places but haven’t heard stories of someone dying on while in an otherwise safe setting like a therapists office.
I've never heard of anyone actually dying due to a high dose trip on a traditional psychedelic and I assume it isn't a very common thing. I'm guessing it would be classed as an overdose death and you don't typically hear about those on psychedelics. I don't think the door gets offered to everyone though and I imagine that most people who encounter it turn it down. I haven't heard a lot about this phenomenon so I assume it's not a common one, but I do at least know it's a thing a person can encounter while tripping.
No weed or other substances on either high dose trip. On the more recent trip I waited a few days and then took a low dose (10mg) THC edible. Normally I feel those but it’s mellow and just helps me unwind in the evening. On this night it was insane. The edible kicked in much faster and I was having full on eyes closed visuals. It was a lot of fun and bordering on mushroom visuals without all the space time warping and looping. It was quite nice. That stayed around for a little longer but eventually edibles got back to normal.
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 50 and prescribed Adderall. My advice is to go easy on yourself. It's not an overnight cure, but I can say that over time there are amazing changes. My best piece of advice is to find a talk therapist who is familiar with adult ADHD diagnosis and who can help with the questions and feelings that come up. During my first month on Adderall, I found that my emotions were overwhelming at times. I think the medicine allowed me to feel my feelings in ways that my ADHD shut out. Honestly, that was hard at first. I didn't even know what I was feeling but it was intense. My therapist helped me work through that and start to understand what feelings were coming up. It does get easier over time.
I love how Trump brings on the legal problems himself. Instead of paying off a porn star out of his personal funds he instead tries to hide it as a business expense.
In a welfare state I mean.. Like I think the argument that you don't get anything if you have to pay more taxes towards welfare and universal heath care because then other people get something and you lose money is so dumb because like those taxes pay for your health care too and if you ever in the future need welfare your taxes get that to you too.
I agree that the typical American argument against a welfare state is a dumb argument. As you describe, we all benefit or potentially benefit when we need the services.
I agree. Even on low’ish doses of THC edibles I’ve had a few experiences that take me pretty close to a high dose mushroom trip. I think it’s more the case that the high dose mushroom trip showed me my mind a reality in a new way and then the THC gets me relaxed enough to get back there.
This is great! I hope everyone is up dancing and not getting yelled at by security like U2.

WHAT IF KEEBLER COOKIES ARE NEXT

What do psychedelics have to do with opioid overdoses? Nothing, that’s what.
Psychedelics have been shown to help people get off of opioids. The bitter irony.

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you to find out that Donald Trump is once again a crook.

After reading about the research I decided to try again at 50. It was also terrifying but I let go and had the most beautiful healing experience of my life.
Trump needs to pull himself up by his bootstraps and earn his 450 million just like every other American.

Apparently, it's related to Russia. Is Russia selling nukes to Iran or something?
Maybe an ultra sonic missile? I think Russia and China are working on those.
How delightfully non specific.
everyone
In what country?

You guys know that one of these days someone is going to take this boofing seriously and end up on anti fungal medicine for their ass.
I think it’s a Bridge. It’s amazing how long cacti can last without water.
Respect. I took 5.7 grams and left the Universe for a while. Let use know what it’s like several Universes away.
