I'm saying "we" but i'm not talking about the whole society. I'm tired of all that bullshit about leading a calm, safe life, being always in a calm state of mind, following stricly a moral code, etc... I created a new spirituality. I think it has similarities with other stuff, but there are no real "spirit" really... The basis is that life is not linear. Sure you must see it this way for cause-effect. But for attaining godliness it doesn't work that way. There is no linearity, it's just different experiences that you had. OK so i figured out what are the different areas: 1.Survivalism : Being in life-threatening situation and dealing with them. Like outdoor living (the forest, the city, anything), living in dangerous places, being threatened (knifepoint, gunpoint or a "gang"), being in a fight, etc... Of course you can eventually die and you don't seek these situation for the sake of it but you eventually end up in them at some point because of various reason. There are 10 of thousands different possibilities of life-threatening situations but you see my point. Because you need to experience how everyone can turn into a predator or a prey and it turns on your natural ability to sense danger. But of course if you thrown in something too dangerous without enough experience/luck... 2.Status : Experiencing being the top-dog and being down the hole. In a comfortable life, you usually go with people of your status and every different social groups you frequent usually have the same sense of who gives orders and who is shit ; so it appears transparent. But when you become part of different group of people (for various reasons) you experience the different dynamics and competition and how much it matters. Of course, you need to experiment something else than a regular job. Because you need to live the full range of authority (hostile or not) with different sort of people to get this natural "sense" of what intimidate people or what make them feel above others. Of course there is different amount of experience and understanding that define your skill at this. 3.Belief : Exploring the world of words and how anything can appear "logic" if you're in the right state of mind. It means that you believed in different things in your life but they turned out "false" so you jumped on something else (the more you ended up "being wrong", the better the experience). It's also observing what people write or say and how it affects the tracks of your thoughts and beliefs. It is also the ability to persuade and recognizing shit talkers. This is not direct "knowledge (or bullshit)" but how it is passed between people and how understanding affect your mind. 4. Elitism & being cool : OK now this is impossible to not oversimplify. This is about how people act (including yourself) when you see something cool, or more importantly people that are (or appear) cool and how it affects your feelings about them. The important thing is recognizing how you naturally feel cool people above you (it works the other way too) when you haven't even met them then when you do.... Well it's something to experience, being in different social groups with different values. Just take a look at scam artists and how they play... blah blah blah, i have no idea how to detail this section. ====That's the "relationship" part, way oversimplified and not complete of course, you complete the rest with your own experience. As you can see you can't be an angel and get all this experience. BTW, i'm not saying SEEK these, but they're areas you eventually learn anyway when you have a rich life. You can be freezing in the cold or feeling down at this moment of your life but it doesn't change the experience (and you're spirituality; in "my" thing of course). Now very important. The "internal" part. It's not separate from the previous. It's about drugs. I'm not encouraging drug use, it's just that you need them in this spirituality/philosophy. Drugs are not foreign things to your brain (or they wouldn't work), it's because they press its button in a unusual way. Since brain chemistry and how you act (with people) are dependant, drugs work as launchpad to get experience. That's why having experience with alcohol, benzos, ecstasy, speed, cocaine, LSD, datura, etc... Is part of spirituality. And you get experience with dealing with the shit around it of course. But i don't encourage drug use because they DO ruin some people's lives. It's just for people who are already into "drugs" or dealt with them in the past to understand the value of it all. Internet, can also be an accelerant. If you use it well, the accelerated communication and globality is really useful. === This is how i put it. I didn't put the "end" or the goal because there is no ultimate goal (but a lot of smaller goals) except life itself. When you experienced a DMT hit for example, you gained the experience and that it itself counts as a key to being godlike plus it felt good so it's good. I'm not claiming that you feel happy in negative experience (that's why they're negative) but they count as experience and if you deal with them without wrecking your body or mind too much you become more "spiritual". It's a reaction to philosophies where you attain perfection by "pureness", be it old religion or "straight edge"-type fad. Banning this, doing that, not doing this, etc. The way i see it, you attain godliness by the variety and intensity of the experiences. OF COURSE "gaining experience" should not the goal but it's a consequence of the different fun or productive (and also shitty or wasteful, get it?) things you do in life.
Antimatter, have you been reading too much Nietzsche? I'd reccomend laying off it for awhile. That asshole can become sort of a bore, if you know what I mean.
haya , antimatter , we moderns may invent and embrace new stresses to simulate the effects of a former , more dangerous environment ? sure , ok .. it's a circle of creation destruction creation destruction , and apparently will destroy the earth . no , don't wanna do that , so say we destroy the cars 'n maybe the internet too and we just be content with the walk about high and psychic stress . we all fall down .
