Philosophical Speculations

@ Cleric ... allow me a more specific line of inquiry: what do you feel might be the benefit, if any, for the 'seeker' to imagine a personified, gender-specific Godhead 'out there' somewhere, a notion I've never resonated with since having inexplicably been blown away into that state transcending an...

As mentioned elsewhere, I've no experience with 5-Me0-dmt, but have recreationally taken mescaline and psilocybin many years ago, with no real 'spiritual' intention, and while I've no clue what the actual dosage was, not being done in any methodical or measured way, I suspect that it was not nearly ...

PS: I thought the NYT article was damn good investigative journalism. Interesting that you saw it as "solely politically focused and charged with countless provocative, arguably partisan points that could be politically contested." Similar might be said about BK's recent rant about the pa...

And at Facebook folks are surely not discussing in metaphysical terms issues such as individual free choice or in the specific context of BK's alter constructions (whirlpools, DID, etc) the glaring absence of alter structures such as governments, corporations, economies or the earth itself.

I think posts "on the fringe" would benefit from being visible. Allow the post, and then lock it, stating the reason why it is locked. This will provide a kind of transparent self-documenting narrative for the forum policy. Hiding stuff is never good. Well, the post on the Covid crisis in...
