just a soul surfing the cosmic wave, no labels no limits
omg thank u!!!
i was bullied for being “evil witch” when i was in school cuz i was autist and there was the meme that autists “can’t feel empathy”. i was like… watching cartoons and saw the “bad guys” and i thought i wasn’t like them… but then at school they told me i was?? it was awful
thank u for saying this
how do i know u aren’t just building up a cult lol
I’d hope they’d never have to face the problem but if they did I’d try my best to accept whatever they do cuz it’s horrible thing to have to choose, tho ofc it would suck and hurt if I’d be abandoned but still
secret third thing??
i’m lookin at my roomies dog and if his ‘world’ is 90% smells and mine is 90% visuals, we aren’t even living in the same reality, yeah?
it’s kind of a trip to think that there isn’t just one ‘real’ world sitting out there, just a bunch of different versions depending on whos looking
u asked for studies to prove u wrong & i gave u a 2025 review of 16 papers and now u move the goalposts because u don’t like the results.
it’s mental health. if a ritual helps someone with ptsd and literally changes their heart rate and brain waves, it’s working. hrv and gamma waves don’t just ‘convince themselves’ to change. u can’t say it’s ‘nothing’ just because it’s not a pill.
why u bringing cancer into this? nobody’s saying smoking some plant is gonna cure ur cancer. how u gonna know how people feel emotionally except to ask them?
also i think u can google: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/397594404_Shamanism_as_a_Clinical_Intervention_A_Scoping_Review shamanic healing helps with ptsd and chronic pain by literally changing ur heart rate variability and brain waves
How u objectively prove someone isn’t feeling better when they say so?
What u define as proof if it’s people saying they feel better? Are u saying they don’t?
how’s ur opinion not biased if u don’t know anything about it? aren’t u biased in favor of objectivity?
no i’m more like bummed that people don’t stop to appreciate what’s already out there and just consume tons of slop
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.
it’s awesome what we can create, like art. but then we live in this culture that’s all about creating “content” and consuming it, really hungrily. Like yay, we get to create more but people appreciate it less.
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
u don’t :D wanna join me??
