I "quit" SSRIs by taking an old antidepressant to clear me out which name was Aurorix. It was a rough 3 months but after the time period mentioned one day I literally "woke up"... it was like I was torn out of the depression and could distance myself from it. At the same time I could clearly...

Weed dealers, and dealers in general, seem mostly equal to excrement. I can't label all of them but the ones I had contact with were such lowlives who "played it cool" for the younger crowd(15years+) to get clients. It's a bit similar to the fitness industry where people get hooked due to...

Taking drugs, aka relying on external intervention to feel good, is in most cases a very bad idea. Very few druggies make it out intact, having the chance to let their bruises heal and move on to something different/better. There maybe some folks able to just smoke a spliff on weekends and...

It's done here too. My mother asked the workers and they said that it's done because of fear that the trees might cause harm when strong winds occur.

Great read - thanks. Before I was following this path I read the workings of Christopher S. Hyatt(another world, I know) and tried his exercises and focused hard on paradoxical breathing. This proved to be effective but I was totally "loaded" in very strange ways... I would call it a bit...

It's amazing how many "reasons" arise to avoid meditation - the mind really is a powerful tool or roadblock. I try not to interpret some thoughts as enemy interference but rarely it's tempting to interpret some mindfarts or "accidents" as a naughty wink from an unknown source. I have struggled...

Aura cleaning and aura of protection may be your best bet, along with things more experienced user have already said in this thread. To relieve a bit of your "pain" - I also had this all my life and it became quite severe in later years. It drained me of all happiness, strength and joy. As...

A secondary link would be welcome - it's unfortunately gone.

Great post - pot smokers in general always seemed like a strange bunch to me. Some super mellow, some highly paranoid where I wondered why the heck they were even bothering with this stuff. In general annoying and I often just wanted to beat the shit out of them for being so "pseudo-cosy". But...

I read that he was a true warrior and wise as a serpent. Always thought the "Dracula"/blood lust stigma stemmed from him being black-washed and tainted to shine a bad light on him... Any more ideas/info?

Western men, below the elite & entertainment, have been removed from society and positions of power in it. If you want to have status you have to be top level(goods & looks) or otherwise you're literally seen as an enemy if you're marking your territory. This combined with the favorable...

Very interesting concept - props!

Well said and hard hitting.

The redneck-meme has been played to death. From experience these folks are not as trusting BUT once you've earned it, it means something. They seem more territorial and loyal because they have led a harder and, in some ways, simpler life. That's the big difference to metro-"open folks" who are...

Great thread! No idea if calcium and magnesium are detrimental when taken at the same time but I once read that too much of either especially harmful for fair skinned folks who are out in the sun - could be bullshit though. About magnesium alone I can say that it seems good for "serenity" and...
