start with going innawoods for 36 hours, with emergency rations and water, and not consuming them. Once you're back, read whatever the people itt rec

Ive not eaten for 9 days before its really really really great. https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/27001-opening-of-the-third-eye-and-other-byproducts-along-the-way/?page=6

this is a good resource to check out. During the fast it would be helpful to sometimes listen to Hildegard of Bingen's music, esp the song nunc aperiut nobis. I would love to talk more about this with you. Read the gospel of thomas if you havent already

This is a nice idea, I like it

I will prepare myself for religious fasting myself by consuming all my food so the fasting becomes easier because I don't have anything I could eat

The FUCKING Bible

Read Either/Or

>What do I need to read before starting with him?
Only The Bible, most of what has been written by the Fathers of the Church and random saints along the way, the Western philosophical tradition until Hegel and, probably, lewd 19th century Danish magazines.

Or, get a monography on the guy and use it as a guide in your exploration of his writings, eventually researching for yourself the concepts of other philosophers you are unfamiliar with.

Get the audiobook version of the exegesis of Philip K Dick. Listened to it while on a job building barbed wire fences on a ranch in Montana when I was 19 completely changed my life. Opens you up

>>9624459
Hitler's Mein Kampf
Schopenhauer's On Women
Culture of Critique Series by McDonald
Bell Curve

Would've made me wake up earlier instead of believing for such a long time that I'm not superior to 99% of the world's populaiton

Your biggest problem is that you can't come up with this yourself.

Read whites or fuck off to plebbit

>>9624454
You can pick up an old edition of Early American Lit Norton Anthology. Just take a peak at the years to make sure it's the earliest Am lit one. There's some good stuff in there. It'll provide a range of material.

Also, anything by Sherman Alexie, obviously.

Castaneda.

>essence precedes existence

God hates fags btw.

>>9624395
Take the redpill
My essence is white and masculine and come from my white male ancestors, even before I was born. Take this leftist cuckism back to tumblr

How the fuck can an existence come into being without some kind of preceding essence?

That doesn't even make sense.

Bumping with a wonderful book by Carlo Ginzburg, an Italian historian of religions; starting from the witches' trial in Italy during the Early Modern Age, he traces back the theme of our relationship with death and the other world through folklore, snippets of mythology and iconographical sources from as far away as China.
I've been trying to spam him on here lately, along with Ernesto De Martino - an Italian anthropologist, for lack of a better word, but in my opinion also one of the greatest existentialist thinkers of the last century. I hope more people get to read them.

Interesting ty

Isn't she like 14 at the oldest? She's like 14 and then suddenly she's living the baby boomer dream in the last scene.

Literature truly died with the 20th century.

Try 18th, 20th is when we started fucking its corpse

>hyperreality
>the last white man is dead
>the illusion of choice

Yep, pretty much.

If you're not liking it by that point just stop reading and move on to something else.

Almost every book has moments where things get slow. I remember Raskolnikov lying in bed and people talking around him for 80 pages. But if you did not like it at all, 200 pages in, I doubt that will change, quite the opposite actually.

>reading the first 200 pages by a Russian author
>expecting anything to happen or be fun

the 200 pages are doing their purpose of pleb filter quite nicely

A thread died for this.

It doesn't apply to the content of 4chan at all. Really social media is a good way to increase the consumption of electricity e.g. fossil fuels.

aren't we a medium? don't we have a message?

aren't we a particularly distinctive medium from all rest (lack of censorship, anonymity even from one post to the next)? and don't we have a particularly distinctive message?

>>9623978
I think Marshy would judge that the medium in this case would be the smartphone/internet itself as opposed to 4chan in particular.

I'm looking for literature, a story I can identify with

dostoevsky

You born as a female and then, becone a woman?

>>9623776
Sure, first you're a girl, then you start to grow tits and such later on.

>>9623776
It's ullshit, per definition a woman is a female human, so they are born. It's like that "I need a REAL MAN to take care of my 3 mandingo kids!". It's pretentious trying to separate males or females into "real" and "unreal", there is nothing to become, you are born this way.
