☮ Social ☮ PD Social: swirling into homeostasis

[SKL]

yeah, man. at the end of the day most drugs are something that I would consider whack, but brains are pretty interesting things, including when you stuff drugs in them

 

[LSDMDMA&AMP]

uhh
im pretty sure
its this molly man
its the bomb fucking diggit
so so so good
still feeling extremely good, still rolling.

 

[SKL]

take less drugs, bro. on the ser.

(and holy shit we're letting these things get to > 3,500 posts now? wow.)

 

[SKL]

so I'm sitting here, sort of wanting a woman that I can't have, but I'm not really sure that I can't have her, and I'm pretty sure that that's something that could be potentially problematic either way. what does /pd/ usually do in these sorts of situations? me, i tend to go for it. no regrets, no remorse. but some days i feel too old for that, you know? like i should be going through things in a more reflective and measured way. but then i'll die wondering. lol. which is a worse fate?

 

[TheAppleCore]

^Now that's a head scratcher for me that I just have to ask you to elaborate on...

I believe that if humans are in contact with a spirit world, both humanity and the spirits were woven by a common thread -- i.e., born into existence with the intention of a healthy symbiosis, by our Creator, whatever that may be.

 

[SKL]

That sounds nice and all, but what how does your outlook take on theodicy? Is there nothing malicious in the spiritual world? How about the material world? Because both the spirit and material worlds can be harsh and threatening places.

what do ou mean by that?
other than molly and amps and whatnot i dont do anything, ive cut way back
i used to do a lot more amphetamine

 

[SKL]

I mean I think you do too many drugs. Or at least post too much about it. Not that most of the rest of us don't. It's not a personal attack or anything. Just an observation.

The youngness comes from just doing it. You'll feel it again, I was thinking the same shit and when loneliness really started whipping my ass I went for it- brought back the fire in my life for sure

 

[SKL]

So it's worse to die wondering? Or to possibly have to pay the piper?

Well, actually my view on reality argues total theodicy. I think that we can perceive the material and spirit worlds to be harsh and threatening, but that perception is just a survival tool. Ultimately everything that we see as damaging motivates us to take certain actions that cause everything to fall into place perfectly according to some sort of divine plan.

^ Thanks for the recommendation.


The only problem that seems to arise with this philosophy is the question, how does one decide what action to take, when every possible course of action will theoretically lead to perfection?

 

[SKL]

i think the problem with that philosophy is that you don't recognize that some things are just plain wrong, bad, evil, etc. and that while it can make you happy to go about in non-recognition of all those things it does not really serve you well in life. you gotta be

have you read Candide?

willow, I am curious (and a little concerned) that you do not feel that the spirits mean you any harm when clearly they were causing you a lot of distress earlier. I think that our first instincts about such things are often correct. I feel like it can be very dangerous to sort of facilitate these things and figure you can control them and get them licked, coming from such a place as you did last night. It seems like a spiritually hazardous back-and-forth and something that is not connecting. What you said the other night actually has me concerned for you a bit tbh, and I think that your instinct that you need to take a step back might be a good one to take. I am still intrigued by the fact that you were drawn to the Bible. I am curious wonder how familiar with Scripture you are? Elohim in Hebrew is one of the titles of GOD, but I imagine you probably knew that?

Ah, but I don't think I can turn back now- mainly because I don't want to, even if I need to. A bind of sorts...

Don't be too concerned; I really debated whether to express myself honestly or in a more whimsical manner; I don't want anyone to question my sanity and such; but I decided to try and honestly explain what I feel is occurring. Put this way- this comes on top of a whole heap of other really really weird stuff thats happened this year; some good, some bad, some really alien....

I cant explain the bible thing any better then: I don't believe in god/yahweh, but I have interest in kaballah; now I wont profess to know much, but I feel that the bible is a sort of mirage, but a mirage concealing something real and true. It bothers me- the bible, its contents- as I see a real glimpse of darkness there, mainly between the lines; and, oddly, in a time of darkness, it seems to beckon. If there is one purpose for the bible- to me at least- it's an oddly concealed map through the underworld or darkness. I can't explain any better-....

I am actually quite familiar with scripture but only through my own reading of it; mainly driven by such delvings into the book of Enoch and the aforementioned kaballah system. And yeah, Elohim being god; but is god the father of Christ? The GOD I understand has nothing to do with christ except that they both appear in the same mirage/book....Egad, what nonsense!

I do feel a lot brighter, and will keep looking into the corner-world of strangeness; at least, while I still can.

That or all this is some perverse epileptic trick. I hope not...

LMA, enjoy your MDMA- I am about to embark on small lines of ketamine to mash things up a bit. Forgive me if my spelling and grammar gets worse then normal

I have not -- I looked at the Wikipedia entry for the book, and I am intrigued.

I definitely acknowledge that constantly anesthetizing yourself to all of the wrong in the world by justifying it as a part of the "divine plan" is not a healthy everyday frame of mind.

Also lately I've been somewhat rejecting that philosophy as a whole.

there's no point in saying this. we try to give him advice about it all the time but it never gets heeded.
LMA may seem to be constantly trying to quit amps, and loves omnomnom'ing his molly n whatever,
but we still love him for him. he adds a certain lightness to PD social

whatever dude, harshing my fucking mellow.

i got your back, yo.
LMA- i saw you posted up a Clio pic the other page-
i have a Renault Clio, they are pretty sweet wee cars.
need to get my license though

Wow, so much really interesting banter for the last couple of pages. And I'm too high to participate. I've really been loving a blend of JWH-018 and WIN-55,212 smoked/vaporized.
