The way your mind works is incredible man. If I really concentrate, I can grasp what you mean. Doesn't sink in. Made me laugh!
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

Managing to become slightly less of a reaction is somehow a great feat isn't it? . I'm sure I am right with you on this.

I think I recall that Buddhists describe a moment of insight outwardly or in disposition, as becoming a "stream enterer". As I understand that means something like a very novice approach of beginner's mind, in one sense, but also even so a great attainment. I just looked it up and one source calls it "attaining the small vehicle"...
I think of this like a canoe, that fits my disposition and how I sometimes think of some of you all here at the shroomery in a similar place. It is a feeling like a transmigration. When I smoked salvia back in the day I would always get the feeling (more than a particular image) of this tribe heading to the canoes and calling me.
So speaking of sinking in, I would be interested if anything I said resonated, but I think I find myself just there, and my intellectual attitude is a condition that I find more just vibrating with that, and with everything else. Does that make sense? I think people communicate here well.
Of course I have chewed on some bitter resentments for a long time and that has helped me observe a native tendency of mental engagement, and thanks to maybe a little bit of where that led me, somehow, to read Nietzsche the Stoics, the Buddhists and others, as of lately, I think I am finding some conviction to recognize the principles of philosophers are maybe best found in dealing with suffering. A basis is not a "sense of things" more or less relatively described as "what is"; in some hidden significance to argue over, it is suffering.
So I think it would bebe a misunderstanding to look for a preimmanent place of knowledge, or even practical knowledge, when we are all just journeyers for sure. We all come to the journey the same way, by that call to principle, and while by convention it is inventive process, and it is of nature, it is just the same thing for us all, above all maybe, and I try most to appreciate that. I think having a good attitude and finding others with a good attitude, self embodied and self reliant philosophy, makes sharing knowledge and receiving knowledge a very inexplicable pleasure

different thoughts lead to different fantaisies of cranial desecration:
- forgot keys + wallet = train running over head
- say something stupid = baseball bat
- dont say something when you really should have = headshot
- feeling you are constantly being watched, judged and surveyed by everyone around you reading into your darkest thoughts and desires = anneurism
-------------------- dripping with fantasy
