At first ur post seemed condescending and immature, but I think this is what u were talking about. Just phrased a little dickishlol
EDIT: And also, after reading ur looong post I completely agree, as I know many ppl here do, that things are changing now, pretty quickly. Yes, the old, and for the most part, last strong remnants of the old societal thinking and (mis)understanding, are probably going to be gone soon. When that happens I expect even quicker changes, but ur talking about a very radical shift, much more so than I think is possible to occur in any relatively short (our lifetime) time frame. A complete restructuring of society is going to take a long time, and I am quite hopeful for the changes I expect to see in my own lifetime. I don't regret not being born to grow up in the 60s as I used to, I think we will see a more sustained shift in personal thought and a greater compassion for the unity of the human {can't think of the right word here, consciousness?}. I hope for the best and am happy with any change. If we can do it, then that's some serious progress since just 50 years ago
It's like you're saying because everyone dosen't have the same mindset as you, they're wrong. What the fuck makes your take on an experience the right one?
If like 60% of the people that respond to my posts just end up derailing them because they can grasp more than one concept at one time it's hard not to respond sounding like a dick sometimes
no it's not.
Look, man, you're insightful and shit. It's clearly obvious. You can see cancer in western society and a lot of people just don't understand how deep it goes. But in all seriousness, you respond more defensively and antagonistically than just about anyone else on this board most of the time. It often sounds like you get genuinely upset over nothing, and sometimes it seems like you're deliberately pissing people off because you think it'll get your point across.
This is a forum on the internet. The only thing i know about you is that you chose the name "colingibs" to represent yourself, aside from that you could be literally anyone. It seems to me like you're trying to prove something about yourself, though. You talk about how you're "an extremely positive person all the time" who "meditates constantly" ... So what? Is that supposed to back your ideas up? The only thing it does is make it clear to us that you think you've got something to prove, and that you take it personally when we disagree with you, or even misunderstand you.
Look, we know you're smart. You've gotta be or else you wouldn't say half the shit you say. But the other half of what you say tells us that you take it personally when people don't agree with you or don't understand you, and that's a sure sign of someone who has a long way to go before they fully understand the kind of ideals that you're promoting. You talk about open-mindedness, mental liberation, love ... But you insult and belittle the people who don't immediately support your points. How loving and open-minded is that? I know you've got a mission, and i agree with it ... I want the human race to evolve as much as you do, and i care about pushing it in that direction too. But lay off the attacks. You don't have any enemies here unless you make them.
How was I condescending?? If I was, it was my error in the written language. But all I see is Roger&me gettting (offended maybe) by a pretty accurate label that wasn't derogatory in any way
Dude think before you speak.
You said in your previous posts, you would not have seen those things, or felt them without the use of the drugs. You needed a drug to make oneness feel real to you?
Everyone is the same, but programmed differently. No doubt the trip helped you get in touch with things when you weren't before, which is good. All I said previously was that it shouldn't be dependent on the experience. The same exact things exist without. It's science, religion, philosophy, sex, whatever.
We are all the same. But so many of you hide who you are because of the way you were raised. Quite a bit of "civilization" have no been able to open their eyes fully yet, they don't have the adequate mental strength or tools, which sometimes is a result of society in the first place.
Look at neurodocs post that should help you.
It is not false, that if you use psychs for party purposes or solely to get "fucked up", or you rely on them as your "spiritual guides" in any way, it has an adverse affect on your ability to have new thought in the future. This is hugely documented. It's why the drugs are illegal.
