It’s definitely weird, but I for one really feel for OP, 330ci ☹️
For one so young, he has certainly had some deep revelations, some long years of pain, and hope of salvation. I think if he can continue with his current beliefs, he’s well on the way to true contentment. I’m double his age, have had some similar life tragedies, but have not coped half as well.
I hope he does though reconnect; I have had years of depression, and not wanting to be around people. Mushrooms have brought me back to the world, and am allowing me to heal, Change, and grow, whilst still reconnecting with family and old friends. And myself, that’s probably the best part 👍🏻
No, I only wish him well. And in the best possible way, I hope we don’t hear from 330ci for at least a few years. I’ll still be here.
❤️ DJ Ed

I don’t necessarily think the ideas of “no drugs, no porn, etc” are bad, it’s more so he had this “holier than thou” attitude about it. I think to each their own. Some people lay off certain things because they know they can’t handle it as well as others. For example, I abstain from alcohol because I know that if I have just a single beer for a couple of days in a row, two weeks down the line I’ll be downing a 6 pack a night. But that’s just me, I know plenty of people who can drink responsibly and I’m happy for them. Anyway yea it’s a weird thread. An enlightened human was having a full fight with his ego and his ego was winning so it came here to display its power. Nothing wrong with it, we all struggle with our “ego” and some more than others.
Wishing you well 330ci. Hopefully you mature a bit/get the help you need. Many of us have been in similar places as you so we know the struggle.
And contrary to how he tried to paint this community, you guys are all incredibly awesome.

Cheers to you, sir, too. I gave him leeway due to his tender age. I can remember how I felt at that age, but I think he seems to be realising it.
Much love DJ Ed

That whole messiah complex is common too when someone is at the onset of a manic episode. Paired with this statement:
Quote:
but I'm also going to be one of the smartest people in the world
delusions of grandeur??
Just saying, the enlightened middle path is balanced, not manic

Arrogance never precedes enlightenment. Boyo's in for a big slap.

Yes - he is arrogant and thinks he is coming upon enlightenment, so the arrogance precedes it. "I am GOING TO BE one of the smartest people in the world."

I thought enlightenment could only be preceded by arrogance?
I need a dictionary.
Edit: oh, never mind, I remember now. Enlightenment produces arrogance. Or arrogance produces enlightenment? I forget again.

I always imagined myself a kind of hippy, but, then I end up putting on my deodorant and going to work.
