Today is Friday, January the 17th, 2025. In the memory of David Lynch, I propose an esoteric question...Why do we need white noise to shit? Is peaceful silence so unsettling? Does it depend on whether or not others are in the house, or around the restroom (if it's public)? I always find myself turning on the vent next to the shower. The one meant to suck up the vapor that makes most people's showers moldy, and gross. I turn that thing on to hear a fan-like noise. But why? Are we afraid of the true voice of God (silence), or do we just long for some kind of ASMR comfort so that we may feel less lonely in those truly lonely moments? I ask everyone to think about this, today.
>>39655400I didn't say that's how every bathroom is. It was a question about why we go out of our way to create the scenario.
>>39654730>Why do we need white noise to shit?what
It depends on the mood for me.
>>39655480>Was Polanski eventually convicted?Yes, he was, you pedo apologist.
actually on 01/01/25, I bought a copy of Eraserhead on Prime to stream on computer, when I'm away from my DVD player. I think I'll buy streams for all his other films as well. I may as well since this year looks to be even more wacky as any in the last decaderemember he directed the best Disney film ever, not just mindfucks
I have read the tao te ching recently and also started the zhunagzhi and I am finding the philosophy resonant additionally I meditate. And now my mage side is curious about the magical side of taoism, do practices like qi gong, cultivation, fengshui and internal alchemy actually do anything or is it a meme. Is chi real if so why haven't we detected it? Can I expand my life span, increase my magical abilities and health or reach an arcane epiphany that abbates my existential dread this way?
>>39657791You probably need to sort out your mental stuff first from the sound of it. But otherwise, taoist cultivation practices do have their benefits. Just moderate your expectations. On the magical side of things, cultivation methods often accompany practices like spirit evocation. Search "Jerry Alan Johnson" on Anna's Archive. He has some informative introductory books on Taoist cultivation and magic in English. We can leave for later quibbles about whether he's truly Mao Shan or whether he's "CCP approved". As with all things esoteric, reading is fine - but it's best to study under a teacher if you seek serious practice.
>>39657887any good sources you would recommend. Currently the only books I've heard of in respect to the magic side are the neiye, I ching and secret of the golden flower.
>>39657888lol i always thought starting a cult would be kind of fun. Not really to manipulate people just in a it would be fun to be able to talk about/act on my delusions without seeming like a complete loser, life is just more fun when I see ordinary things in a more fantastical light.>>39657902I definitely have a lot of mental stuff to sort out I'm mentally ill + college. But it couldn't hurt to read the books and do the basic foundations like meditation and taichi.
>>39657909Sure. If you have enough autism, "The Way of Complete Perfection" will service you nicely.
>>39657977thank you
what an odd reading. is it really that time already?
yes
>>39650865Soon....

>>39650865what am i looking at?
>>39657928Some people believe that shuffling 52 cards around to get a random assortment will result in a non random result, that will provide insight into their lives or their love one's.
why dont we see people with light flowing out their heads like all religious art of enlightened beings
>>39657750You nuts? That's the easiest way for feds to identify you and put you away.
>>39657750They were PAINTINGS. It's called "artistic license" and it means that they add flourishes that may not actually have been present at the time. It's not a photograph. Also, it's from the painter's imagination. There haven't been any "enlightened beings" to paint, and no one actually had light glowing around their heads. This is the silliest, most retarded thread I've ever seen. What's the point of it?
>>39657929Every hear of Mithridatism? It's the repeated act of microdosing poison to become immune to assassinations or venomous animals.
>>39657750because humans associate light with day time, fire, warmth energy, and safety and dark with the unknown, cold, nocturnal predators, danger. It's just an evolutionary thing Or if you want to be conspiratorial about it day is the time of working and participating in society and other behaviors the elites who designed religion want to encourage, while night is the time of reflection, dreams, and revelry where one is most free and what the elites want us to shy away from and fear. Tho IMO any true enlightenment would involve both light and darkness.
>>39657951
enlightenment is the realisation that existence is a gift that takes effort.... ofc that doesnt mean that cruel shit isnt going to happen brah stay mad
>>39656042God I wish that were me
>>39656042enlightenment is the complete understanding of the nature of existence and the realization of non-duality, emptiness and codependence.
Enlightenment is a fleeting feeling of complete wholeness and bliss. Not wanting and living for now.
Enlightenment is either becoming a God or reuniting with GOD
>>39656042Indeed; the cruel is fuel.
>>39657607I'm a retard, do you know what song that is?
>>39633627She's cute

>>39638260love the art. The album was shit, though.
I'm LARPing, and they can’t do much to me now anyway.From 2012 to 2023, I worked in Naval Intelligence, focusing on advanced underwater detection systems as part of an unidentified submerged phenomena program. Our work involved close collaboration with the DoD and leading defense contractors, whose names you can likely guess.The program’s objective was to investigate anomalous underwater activity in specific "areas of interest." My recruitment came after earning a PhD in oceanographic engineering, and my role was to analyze sensor data and identify patterns in these phenomena. I’ll keep this as concise as possible.I'd like to start by saying that the "drones" we've been seeing aren't US experiments, Chinese tech or extraterrestrial. The objects were seeing are from Earth and while we're not entirely sure what they are, we know where they come from. The objects we see emerge from subterranean and submarine exit points.During my time in the USP program, my team analyzed data from nuclear sub fleets equipped with next gen quantum sonar arrays. These tracked objects emerging from and returning to depths far below our subs’ crush depth (about 2,400 feet). Simply put, their movement defied physics. I'm talking about vertical ascents and descents at 75-90 degrees with constant velocity, no cavitation, and no acoustic signature.By 2014, we identified consistent emergence points, we called "threshold points." These weren't random. Clusters of these objects always seemed to emerge in the Puerto Rico trench, off California's continental shelf, and the East Pacific rise.
>>39652906My money is they're squid people that grew up on Earth the entire time we did. They just have better cars.
>>39656365with the power to create mini suns e.g. fusion within enormous intra earth spaces, would the surface be all that much better? vibrant, vigorous and diverse life may exist within
This whole thread is “we know what everything does, we don’t know how or why it does it, and this is its intentions, even though we don’t know how or why.”Cool. Sure thing.

If consciousness is the fundamental reality, then why does it exist? how the fuck does it work?
>>39657121there's something creepy about 4chan's memes, like they were made and injected here using some masonic ritual to make it popular on the whole internet
>>39657121>then why does it exist?Consciousness IS God. Once you internalize this I guarantee your life will change>how the fuck does it work?How does God work? I don't know, go ask him lel
>>39657121Read Kant you dumb fuck.
>>39657121If you can describe how something works through internal components, then it isn't fundamental now is it? Anyways, it's true by default. Truth can only be discerned through the lens of logic, logic and reason is a product of consciousness. If material or something else was the fundamental layer, then logic is incidentally dependent upon it and thus not binding by virtue of not being by necessity. However, if material and the like is bound by logic and reason, then it is logic and reason which exists prior to material's manifestation, and therefore consciousness is fundamental. >"Okay, so I believe all is incidental and logic doesn't matter"Great, except you only ever have reason to believe in something due to logic so if you deny logic then you lack a reason to believe in that very thesis of disbelief. Since only one possibility gives reason to believe in it through upholding the structures of reason itself, you must default to consciousness being fundamental. The alternative is to abandon being human and begin thinking and behaving like a monkey. Now stop being a monkey.
>>39657121The best evidence for determinism and causality is the fact that we can't physically change the past. If you were a non-linear being separate from body and time, you would be able to go back in time and say, warn yourself before you stubbed your toe. You can't do that, you can't see the future either. If that toe stubbing led to an infection that made you lose your entire leg, slowly travelled up your torso and led to lifelong crippling agony comparable to hell, sucks to suck, shouldn't have chosen to stub it. SKILL ISSUE!!! On that note, consciousness originates in the brain, and is the product of genetics. You are AI, programmed with a genetic prompt encoded from your mom, dad, and the cosmic rays shooting through them when they conceived; and so am I.Take the wrong drug, take a few too many blows to the head, contract botulism or other brain parasite, you're not OP anymore. If someone took a piece of your brain out like cake, you would cease to be who you are now, and your experience of this reality would change dramatically. You were at one point in your life, the purest essence of yourself, and that pure you with the help of your environment snowballed into who you are today. Why? No reason AT ALL. There is no end goal. We are building a monolith to life because we are alive because we wanted to be alive because those who were ok with dying aren't here.
Is this paranormal?
>>39657745Nah, DC is a haven for degenerates and they're suffering from persecutory delusions again.

>>39621157Do not take part in this astral data mining. The feds have diversified their surveillance tactics.
Need some feedback from other astrologers, hobbist or otherwise. My interpretation of Saturn conjunct Pluto with an orb of 0 degrees is as follows:Saturn represents not just meaningless sacrifices but the payoff of hardwork, having discipline, being stoic, delaying gratification for even greater reward later. Pluto represents transformative powers we have no control over that are beyond our comprehension. Transcendental alchemical forces that transmogrify souls in the Plutonian realm that corresponds with Hades in Greek mythology. So, in the life of this person, these two are the same thing. Hardwork and patience ARE the transcencental forces working in that persons life to shape them through suffering and hardship into something like the apex of what Saturnian energy represents. Pluto reinforces the ambitious need to be in control, by accepting a higher power, and almost becoming a fascist in service of that higher power, unable to resist it. This need not be the Christian god, it could even br astrology itself, any kind of transformstive spiritual process could become the focus for this person, and every aspect of reality is seen to belong to that process.Of course, other aspects and house placement also matters, chart rulership, the other planets, etc. I'm aware of that. I'm just asking what kind of theme you guys think Saturn orb 0 conjunct Pluto would have.
>>39657846In fact, going deeper, I would be very interested in the placement of Uranus in such a persons chart. Because Uranus was the father of Saturn and slew Saturn out of jealousy eventually. Uranus would therefore play a very pivotal role in this persons life by potentially being a source of havoc for them, or on the other hand it could be a potential weapon they could use to reinforce their own occult agenda in the face of strong opposition from pre-existing Saturnian forces around this person.
It seems the reason why ancients worshipped the stars is because they had wormholes near them or within them, and that upon death this is how one goes into the aterlife or reincarnates.Redpill me on wormholes, they seem to be present in media everywhere and seem to be the key to escaping reality or ascending to a higher dimension:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecxhEu3KufUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DNbkKBW0K8This also seems to be how Alice reaches wonderland, she follows the White Rabbit (Lepus Constellation) and falls within the Rabbit Hole (Wormhole) that leads her to Wonderland (Higher Dimension).
>>39651920I honestly think it was the Holy Spirit or an angel that given me the idea to look up 9:11 because of how specific they were on that day.I experienced something similar on Jan 26 and found it lead into Luke 1:26.

Hyperspace between the space. Whats there
>>39657601the "astral plane" (I think)
>>39657601The Underworld, it's where Souls go.
This is what it thinks God looks like? What is it trying to tell us?
>>39655410Thought the top right was Mel Gibson for a few seconds.
>>39655410what it means is that majority of people are retarded for personifying Godand also 99% of any technological users are jeets today.
>>39655621Mel Gibson does look a lot like god

>>39656968If you were deconstructed into atoms and kept that way for a thousand years, and then those atoms were reconstructed into you the moment before you were split, would time have passed for you at all?Would you experience that, or would your soul have passed on? If it did, would it be dragged back into your body? If it were trillions of years and the earth had already disappeared, would you be dragged into your new body, born into the vaccum of space to die immediately after? Why? Vid very much related. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ0B6WAaBawWhy is it that we can physically die for minutes at a time; no heartbeat, no brain activity, nothing, and then just.. reboot? Why would we choose these bodies specifically?
I think therefore I am
You are not real, but together, we are reality itself.

I give up. Or, I want to give up. Can't give up yet but gonna in the future. Give up on the search for the true religion. It's so tiresome. I'm gonna let myself drift away into the eternal truth of existence. No rituals, no beliefs, nothing. Just me.. the truth.. and eternity. Do you think this is the right way?
>>39657509I too, use this mantra to keep me going. kek.
>>39657614I seek to see reality as it truly is. I don't know what this entails, so I don't know.>>39657619Yeah the truth may be seen through different means.. but the path is one. You can't have differing paths, because truth is only one.
>>39657637What does "path" mean to you? Depending on your starting point, there are many paths you could walk to most places. If the truth is imagined as a place, why should there be only one route there? I suppose it might be accurate to say that it only lies in one direction relative to your personal starting point. Unless you're on a sphere or other unusual shape.
>>39657652Path means: morals, practices, beliefs.
>>39657819Although practices can be different the morals and beliefs must be the same for all who want to find the goal
