Recommend me a book that provides a compelling case for spirituality. I cannot imagine such a thing existing when you can turn human beings into pic related with cold, material science.
>>24786603Why are they always standing up? Why don't fent heads lounge about on the streets like any other opiod addict? I couldn't imagine being buzzing off my nut and standing, let alone off the most potent opioid avaliable.
>>24786618Fentanyl isn't like other opiates, it's like comparing beer/wine to doing a booty-shot of vodka. You just get FUCKED up but there is not a lot of euphoria, it's not a particularly good feel.
>>24786603William James - Varieties Of Religious ExperienceCuriously I'm reading that on paperback as we speak

All of these videos are fake FYI. They literally pay homeless people a few hundred dollars each to pretend they're zombies. Fentanyl has never been a crisis, it's just a proxy because no one in power wants to address the bigger issues (weed and alcohol). And no, don't tell me that inner cities are a fringe case, nobody has ever just wandered down the wrong street and come across a bunch of motionless retards. Stop believing contextless videos made by people who hate your country and want to manufacture discontent.
>>24786775This isn't America anywhere because Trump cracked down on this, it hasn't happened since the Biden era
>>24786775>>24786898you're both fucking morons
>>24786775>>24786898https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9WO2ieJMYk
>>24786898Trump's busy forgetting his family's names and reminiscing about fucking children.The only thing he's cracking down on is cringe hipsters on unicycles.
One of the worst things about heroin and fent is how demonically addicting it is while also being relatively safe for addict but dangerous for elderly, kids or people who don't have a tolerance
>bro don't make any laws restricting people's freedom at all that's inevitably going to descend into mass murder, just keep letting hundreds of thousands of people kill themselves and their children on fentanyl while the rest of the population is single and childless and morbidly obese and addicted to porn
>>24786603This is America on socialism
>>24786775>>24786898I watch my uncle fent slump every day
>>24786636I remember reading that. Very interesting. Good for someone who is not religious trying to understand the avenues people take towards religious experiences. Does a very good job expressing how somthing feels. Or just for someone trying to expand their appreciation of religion more broadly.
>>24786603>How can math exist when numbers aren't actually real?This thread is an embarrassment.
>>24786775So its basically a flash mob or performative activism that Douglas Rushkoff speaks of in "Throwing Rocks At The Google Bus"? I see.
>>24787144I want to be a performative fentophile when I grow up.
>>24786603Science confines itself to the empirical realm. It has nothing to say about spirituality.To answer your question, read anything by Jung or Crowley.
>>24786603Hegel's unemployment book.
>>24786603I think David Lynch was allegorically closest to the truth of our reality. Or Alan Watts or Sophie Xeon. Maybe Mishima if you're of the interpretation he was an absurdist performance artist and didn't literally believe the emperor was divine. Life isn't quite anything but it's more like a dream or a decentralised creative sandbox than it is like anything else.
>>24786603Why did you post that when you could've posted this
It helps to see how secularism, exclusive humanism, and materialism are essentially just edits of prior theologies and not forced on us by "empirical facts." Charles Taylor is the best starting point here
>>24786775absolutely weird cope lmao i watched two junkies do that same pose in the parking lot next to my building last weekend and i passed a guy on the corner doing the same tonight on my way to the store.
>>24787606But then also these, along with the Alcibades, Phaedrus, Republic, Symposium, Philibus, Ethics, Physics, Metaphysics, Consolation of Philosophy, and then, now prepared, Cosmic Liturgy (on Saint Maximus) followed by Saint Maximus' core works. Then Saint Bonaventure's Mind's Journey is good.
>>24787615Your problem is that you go outside, if you stopped doing that you'd start to see things from anon's pov
>>24787606When did the Liberian warlord get into philosophy
>>24786603Do White people really?
>>24788239Don't worry Tyrone, I'll find a video of crack fiends just for you.
Always nice to see fellas enjoy things. Cheers!
