kinda yeah. i know plenty of people who got help from this type of stuff. they do ayuascha retreat and sort through their shit and go on to do their thing. but nobody wants to hear about that, they wanna hear about the guy who got a dramatic psychosis.

has anyone u know gone thru shamanic healing?

There’s not really any point in trying to support religious magic healing at this point. People already believe in a gigantic amount of scam and have no critical thinking, and you start debating about the exact definition of what is a placebo effect even though it’s one of the only few bits of “critical thinking” knowledge that people have?

have you or has someone u know experienced something like this?

yeah! i'm just not sure if i get it. sometimes i feel like i get it but then it's like... who is getting it? and then i get confused lol

the sense of self isn't constant and is totally malleable! i've had these experiences where everything is me, so that's my brainwaves moving real slow. there's no real self, it's just if my brain decides to move fast or slow. identity isn't real.

lmao noo, i'm vegan so this is doubly gross

who is the me the brain told that to tho lol

well like most of the wellness programs i've seen. they only admit to like general "you'll feel better" but otherwise it's like they demonize it when someone's brain doesn't let them do some thing and somehow they're just supposed to power through that.

No i mean even if they aren't spiritual they talk in terms of like "willpower" or "patience". what even is that and how is it somehow virtuous to have it if it's not virtuous to have hunger or the need to sleep?
