Where were you before you were born? * 1
    #28435683 - 08/16/23 04:43 AM (5 months, 10 days ago)

Like the Mark Twain quote the best.  I relate to it.  A lot of different thoughts on philosophy, spirituality, and mortality.  Just reflecting after a death that hurts.  Eternity.  Where do you go when you die?

That question makes me laugh, is dumb.  Religions and people try to make it so simple and basic without experience of the esoteric and self introspection.  Just a lazy human race.  Heaven and Hell.  Right.  Just lose all touch with eternity with it all its possibilities and lose oneself in ego and religion, jobs, education, family, friends.

People that will always agree with you and organizations that will always willingly control those who give their will over to it.  No growth in ways that matter.  Nature is a better teacher as this way of life is constructed for the long term.  Is amazing what people ignore with what is right in front of them.

No.  Tired of it.  Even the shroomery is like a echo clique.  Is getting dumb and it used to have unique individuals and was fun and some with great insights in life and many with a sense of humor.  It is just so mean spirited now, teaches nothing, and no one laughs anymore. 

Kind of a reflection of the world now and the generations and the endless fucking smartphones and Tiktok.  No one has the attention span of more than a few minutes anymore.  What a loss.

I think of it like making an apple pie. To begin with there's just apples, wheat some sugar and egg what ever ingredients.
Then once the apple pie is either eaten or destroyed it just goes back to being seperate ingredients again.
I don't go anywhere because I as I know I doesn't exist anymore just my ingredients that are left ready to be used again either to feed some worms or maybe make another human being in the future.

before being born, I was in my mothers womb. I learned a lot there, and the rest of my character was built upon those vague notions.

after I die, impressions that I left will fade, some faster than others, but the body will stop functioning first, and I will be gone to constituents with no enduring self, as such.

A monk asked a Zen Master, “What happens when you die?” The Zen master replied, “I don’t know.” The monk said, “What do you mean? Aren’t you a Zen master?” And the Zen master replied, “Yes, but I’m not a dead one.”

A friend said something similar recently.  More anger.  More seriousness.  Less laughter.

Acceptance is the only peace. We are what we are. A primate doomed to imagination, but within we are plagued with always seeing a better option.

maybe the future takes us there, but on our trajectory: no. Instead we can accept who, what, where we are, without ever knowing why, or how. This isn't a deal, its not a negotiation, it's a contract we have no option but to sign. In fact, we already signed it. All we can do now is accept what is, as it is undeniably what is.

Don't worry my brethren, you aren't alone. :mushroom2:
We will find out peace
For now take this sorrow and rally against the dying light

while you are here, be present in the moment.
follow the breath if you feel lost.

A very holy place where people can't hurt each other. Everyone is an ideal divinity of some kind. You occasionally see reminisces of the place in children's or baby's eyes. If you've been there in this lifetime, that is, out of the body, they notice, because they essentially recognize they are on a ride and are curious that you're out of character to the rest of them. Baby's/kids are a soul, mostly. It's only later that a broader identity takes fruition and the soul takes a backseat, except for spirituality, and OBEs.

I would like to call it "Avalon." :smile:

When two angels have appeared to me in near-death experiences, they both were pristine and from a kind of 'Avalon' ...

LSD, mushrooms and DMT are different structural levels within the same magically simulated mystery sometimes blandly called 'life'

Your life, your call.
