My friend's been trying to get me into his religion as of late, and I've been curious about consciousness/afterlives in general, though I find the lack of "beforelives" in religion a bit of a letdown. Do the myths come from NDE's and the like? I ask because there have been groups of people that DON'T believe in afterlives for centuries if not millennia, so it can't be a simple result of humans being incapable of getting over dying.

Yea and the more time we continue this bullshit and not find a way to turn into pure energy like from star trek we are fucked you heer me
>>19311093
Pic related.
On another note, OP.
There isn't a lack of before-lives, just depends on which philosophy of re-incarnation or rebirth you find the most potentially real.
Hindus like re-incarn: i.e. Soul transmigrates. and Buddhists like Re-birth, no essential "soul" that migrates just a continuation of consciousness experienced within.
Before-lives are a main feature of these.
The Tibetan book of the dead is good, there is a lot of material in there for how devout Tibetan Buddhists navigate the experience through prayers and such but you can get an idea of what they think it's like from the narrative.
>I am not afraid of dying because I am an enlightened brain in this miasma of idiots
And you just happen to be right because you decided so, mmm?
So you will go to hell, big deal, it's not like you'd find the true religion without help.
Tip: It's not in any book.
I died when I was a kid, I got into my grandmas medicine and overdosed and was brought back to life. That was nice.
I've had a number of near death experiences beyond that.
I heard the other day that people who died are changed, I can't remembe where I heard it, but it made me think.
What do you weird fucks think?
What did you see? Did you see another dimension? If you did, do you think you were hallucinating or was it the real thing?
There's this weird ass show on Netflix called the OA about near death experience, I didn't watch the whole thing cuz shit goes off rail at the 3rd or 4th episode but if you're somehow interested it's got a second season coming out soon.

They remember how to listen to the echoes of silence, and the see the reflections of shadows. That the feelings of being always, and never alone are one in the same. When a person no longer equates bodies to people, a pararox makes its self evident; how many people is this?
Hello dear /x/,
i came across a active cult nearby my place and some of them invite me to join it, this guy told me they drink womens/girls urine and im curious what the fuck is going on there, any help to identify this cult? i want to read more about.
is there just one cult who drinks "freshpressed orange juice-girly edition"? i dont think so.. so do you guys have any suggestions`?
they are also quite artistic, they produce a lot of art and musik, i culd identify it by looking at symbols andstuff.
>>19311082
Op that is a slanneshi cult, report it to your local preacher, or better yet purge them yourself.
Slannesh is the god of excess, excess art, excess love, excess force!
>>19311090
so it quiet fits to your description, they are masters of excess, any links to any websites with more information?
>>19311082
Go kick their asses with you and your dudebro chads, OP
Guys i think i might have been abducted a long time ago, and they come check me up from time to time
Oh and sorry for my bad English, it's not my native language
It's always at night, I'm chilling in my bed until i get sleepy, then, as always i just lay there till i start sleeping.
It happened to me again like 15 minutes ago, i was chilling in bed, waiting, when i felt like my body was compressing (i don't know how to explain) i tried to move but i was so weak, i mean, i was doing so much effort and i only managed to move a little bit, then i heard sound waves, i don't know how to explain those but they were fucking intense, at that point i felt really light, like i was floating, but i was still being compressed and hearing the sound waves, then it stopped, it probably lasted like 10 seconds, then i was able to move again, i was very agitated, i tried to scream but i couldn't
This is not the first time it's happened, it's happened numerous times, more than i can remember, but it doesn't really bother me, it doesn't affect my life at all
I just wanted to write this, because i can't sleep at all right now
>>19310980
This is sleep paralysis, there's no ayy. Case closed.
>>19310980
Definitely sleep paralysis. Don't sleep on your back from now on.
>>19310990
ayys use sleep paralysis as the portal

You can track it and see for yourself.

You don't even need a telescope, you can see it with binoculars. There is literally no reason not to go out and try this for yourself.

Good night dear /x/, i was thinking yesterday while i was reading something about hermetics, and i had this idea, sometimes people want to time travel physical to back in time or beyond it, but i wanted to know, what do you think about this idea, what if not travel yourself completly, just your conscience , you know, like left your actual body like a veseel to the one is in the exact moment in the time you want in the past, be aware that doesnt really mind what happens to your actual yourself if you succes. do you think it is posible?
I haven't been successful, but from what other helpful anons have said, you can see the past and future during an astral projection.
>>19310530
Yes, i have read something about that too, and from anons who said the same, i actually believe it, but im thinking more like not only see the future or the past, but most like yourself of this time, this moments takes the place of one of your pastselfs but only in conscience, you know keeping all your memories and knowledge
>>19310506
If there is a will, there's a way. If there's a way, someone will pursue it. All we need as a culture is a lead. But think if the real repercussions of TIME TRAVEL. Who are any of us to decide who goes. That's some Angels from 'Heaven' or Alien to us.
I am spiritual and totally philosophically pessimistic. I find it profoundly bad that I exist, all the more so for studying various religious and spiritual systems and realizing that whatever the truth might be there is no trivial escape from this situation. Not until every penny is paid and such. I just want to know where did the spirituality= positivity meme originate? The paranormal is basically intrinsically terrifying
Hippies and people attempting to use philosophy to justify their fun-loving existential escapism.
There's a cult of happiness sweeping over the world, destroying epistemological responsibility and removing our ability to deal with negative emotions in a constructive way. People don't want to feel any of that, so they've built a culture in which feeling those emotions is tantamount to being a pitiable, repulsive mess.
It's dumb as fuck.
>>19310415
People are confused, they believe being happy all the time is the main goal of living, it's not only "spiritual" people but almost everyone that is exposed to the media, they don't understand their feelings so they look somewhere else.
They are lost, but being pessimistic is not better, it might even be worse, you are lost as well.
>>19310415
Fucking dualist scum

You guys are fucking retarded. The Universe doesn't care about your fucking primate philosophy IT'S NEUTRAL. It's just the natural fucking state. How you perceive decides how you experience life. So you want to have a shit life OP, you are one the right track. Want to have a good one? Hippies are on the right track.
>Bb-bb-but people die or get hurt
Nice babby philosophy, the Marines learn to love pain. You are what you make yourself. You CHOSE to be miserable. You responded to all the bad events by letting them consume you
>B-bu-but its hard
Children with exploding guts from tapeworms in Africa that are simultaneously starving can find good in the world. It's just how you fucking deal with it.
Okay /x/. I need help with this one.
I want to bring about a ghost in my household. Or... Make it stronger.

We are confirmed for hauntings but how do I feed it more energy to manifest itself?
I want to study the effects it has.
Human sacrifice is the only way
>>19310362
This. You must be it Op
>>19310343
How do you know if you already have a ghost?
Chemtrails.
I know, i know 'you're just paranoid, there's no such thing as chemtrails. Only contrails'
Well to my fellow tinfoil hatters, what are the affects and what is it that any government get out if it?

Why is September such a dull, draining and weird time of the year? Does anyone here feel something weird every September that comes and goes? I feel numb and my joints feel locked sometimes, I also can't seem to get enough sleep in September. Much like this whole month feels like a weird nightmare when I look back. This can't be something seasonal because there are no changes in the climate where I live.
That's when school starts back up. Your body remembers.
>>19310248
Well, I remember the 21st of September, love it was changing mind of pretenders, and something chased the clouds away. My heart would be ringing, but only to the key of my soul singing, as it was dancing in the night, but the stars stole that night away.
>>19310248
Seasonal shift as well, pretty obvious if you ask me and I'm retardo

My friends step mom and father left there home to there son "my friend" and left this drawing behind for him with his name on it. Trying to understand the symbolism here... He things they may have been into some super natural craft, they had a very bad relation ship any ideas????
I don't think there needs to be a supernatural reason why anyone would leave that ugly ass painting behind.
