Subliminals and manifestation are so fun to read about. Do I really think these people are out here changing their physical bodies? Fuck no. If that stuff DID work, which it could, physical changes like that would take decades.
However, playing pretend and finding stuff for my goals like I Do believe it is very entertaining.

accidentally joined a group for people interested in gnosticism but i said heck let's see what this is about so i joined their first group seminar...
and uhhh sounds like a cult
i appreciate spirituality and have beliefs based on psychedelics, crystals and planetary shit that others may find bonkers.
i also appreciate using religion and any sort of spirituality as guidance for you to feel better and become a better version of yourself.
however the communities like the ones in the seminar are alarming. you should definitely not listen to somebody that claims to know the mysteries of the universe or have some incredible knowledge that they acquired through mysticism. you can learn, meditate and make your own meaning but claiming you're a new prophet of the one true religion, a divine messenger of god, or have any relation to a higher power that is directly communicating + giving directions to the masses through you is wild.
this is a pretty basic level ramble, but i see why the in-group quality of a "healing" community is so attractive here. everyone wants to be a part of something especially in this loneliness epidemic, and even more so if it sounds like it's going to improve you mentally or physically.
all that is to say just be careful y'all.
imma read some climate crisis, psilocybin and sociological substacks now

Iโm an ex-religious person. I left my religion because you know, I used my brain, critical thinking, logic, all that smart stuff. But honestly? Being realistic is boring as fuck. Like painfully boring.
So why not believe in soulmates? Why not believe that Zeus split us into two halves and my other half is somewhere out there wondering the Earth? Why not believe in mermaids and vampires ? Lifeโs way more interesting when you believe that there is a witch out there is probably doing some cool spiritual rituals under the moon or whatever. Or this charm is going to bring you luck .
And honestly when Iโm sad and need someone to care about me, why not pray to Athena? Thereโs no way God was a man. Absolutely no way. Iโm not sitting here praying to some dude. If Iโm asking for help, itโs from a goddess, obviously.

sorry guys i know i've posted about the same thing like four times now but it helps me work out my ideas to see them up on here
been thinking about postmodern writing and all the "critical theory" bucket of literature, how so much of it reads so cold despite having interesting ideas
it's the same thing i resent about performance theory, too detached, too intellectual with nothing underneath, i don't like things that seem like they were written only for the classroom
but then you get someone like clarice lispector (and krasznahorkai sometimes) that just knocks you over
they still use the heady language for the most part but it doesn't come off pretentious or disconnected, truly it could be said no simpler way
i think the main thing is some kind of underlying spirituality or belief in truth, whatever that might mean
maybe just sincerity

I know analog horror is an oversaturated mess, but I'm very happy to see a 10 minute oneshot so nicely made. And by a 17 year old no less! Not to say 17 year olds can't make wonderful art, it just makes it even more impressive.
It's a good video if you can handle religious horror.

Bro that is severely unhealthy if going without an app makes you feel that way. That's proof right there you NEED that detox. Please think about why you feel vulnerable and think about how to combat it.

I know that sounds like a shitty thing but its not that bad, my mom and I have done it. You can make anywhere from 25-75 per donation, and a lot of places have referral bonuses.
