Was this actually real? I can't find any credible news outlets on it. Yes, I'm aware people found her YouTube, instagram, and blog, but still... I don't know what to believe.
..........why is this even a question........
the fuck even is this?
>>18513598
Why is it not? Give me evidence it's real.
Recently, an idea I have wrestled with has begun to solidify. Put simply that all existence makes no sense, as if its very structure should not be as it is. The core feature of this realization is that the nature of life, beyond simply resisting entropy, has established rules and ideas that should not fit into a universe of largely homogeneous and static structures.
For life not only has operated by a guiding set of rules of an almost ethereal nature, one of actively trying to be, of molding this passive plane of matter in its own image. Consider that for a moment, the entire passive universe is at the mercy of aberrations of matter that seek to create its own order, its own rules. I mean consider the very medium you are using, one in which we bends energy and matter into something meaningful only to us. One day it may be the case that even stars or entire universes will be ours to shape.
All of this leads me to the sense in which nothing human can nor could adequately explain all of this. Neither a simulation not the hand of another, for why would the conditions for active matter be seemingly so fragile, as if our nature is an anathema to the established rules of this universe. The only thing that I consider are some of the ideas of William Sidis in which our universe and its counter part bleed into each other, bringing an active spark to a largely structure passive universe.
Sadly, all of my own musings on this seem woefully inadequate as I reflect on the matter I am composed of and all of strangeness. It sometimes feels like we are just like spirits haunting an empty reality, interacting with it but leaving no lasting mark. It would be so comforting to fall back on god or nihilism, yet that seems like cheating. As if underlying all this is not something that's simply random but it also is not easily understood as fitting into a particular purpose.
None of this makes sense. Why would every subatomic particle not just default to one form? What is below it?
In my experience you need to take a less intellectual and more visceral approach to these kind of questions. Be it through very careful use of entheogens, or which I personally would prefer, through intensive mindfulness meditation, you can come to deeper understandings about existence.
The realizations you will get this way aren't easy to comprehend, nor do they fit into any words or concepts that they convey.
After years of contemplation you might come to the conclusion, that religious texts speaks in parable and metaphor for good reason, and comes from true experience, rather then "just made up bullshit from power hungry man seeking to control people dreaming of a better (after) live".
Of course there are many problems with organized religion, and with fixed dogmas in general, with tribal thinking and big groups of people in general, and I can definitely see why people are against religion- God is much more than a comforting thought though.
Seems like a key piece of the puzzle is missing.

The one thing I failed to admit is that these thoughts came from the use of a particular potent thc brownie. Multiple experiences with the substance coupled with my own mind, that has always glided upon the edges of reality, allowed me to dig below the human reality that is built around and defines "me." It was in those moments and when I became sober that realized how contrived our existence is, yet with a purpose that I do not think I human can know. Some call it God but this to me is like enshrining our humanity around something more far more mysterious.
What do you think extraterrestrial life looks like? On one hand it makes sense that they would look like our cliche big eyes and big head look, but i think they would be more abstract. They could live in a part of space she obscure to us we cant even comprehend them. They could be balls of gas or elements with a conscious.
What do you think /x/?
I think a lot of intelligent life would have the humanoid body plan.
Binocular vision for hunting. Predators tend to be more cunning.
Bipedal to free up limbs, for tool-use.
These traits would foster high intelligence.
>>18512059
I saw a documentary where they said that the octopuses could possibly be the next ruler of the earth. So maybe something similar. No bone, multiple brain, living in low grav, not stock to the ground
Machines instead of flesh, i inside beings with advanced intelligence only because they live long enough.
Sleep paralysis thread.
Have you ever had one? Describe it.
I just woke up from my fourth ever episode. They are getting weird now. I only got visual hallucinations the first time they happened, the other ones I've only gotten auditory hallucinations. The weight on the chest and the feeling of a presence or intruder is always there though. The weirdest part for me now is that when they happen, I know what's happening to me, and I can kind of bruteforce my way out of it.
This time was the second worst I've had (after the first one). I felt a presence, my body went numb. My eyes darted through the room, and thankfully I didn't see anything/anyone. But just as that thought entered my thought I felt a loud BANG coming from beneath my bed, and a loud as and evil as fuck sounding "hum" came from it. I managed to sqeal a bit and move my right arm, and that broke it. I probably won't go to sleep again tonight after that, though.
I've had a few. Here's one.

Sleep paralysis is cool, only cunts are scared of it.
>>18511943
Must have been terrifying on a whole other level experiencing that, having your wife be the "intruder". I've only ever experienced it alone.
>>18511954
Fuck off, sounds like you never had it.

shit hes definitely fucked the ones mom
Let me start with a story.
I grew up in Romania from age 1 to 4 together with my cousin who was the same age as me. We basically grew up as brothers and were always together. My uncle was a car mechanic but did other jobs on the side , usually physically demanding jobs. One day he was doing one of those side jobs and it involved sand (Don't remember what the actual job was). My cousin and I went with him because we loved playing with sand. After the job was done , we went back home , nothing out of the ordinary. That night however , my uncle had a car accident and was pretty badly injured. And from that day , me and my cousin started to behave differently. For example:
Every night , at exactly 1:34 AM we would both wake up and start screaming and crying like we were going to die. It would usually continue for 15 minutes before we calmed down. When my mom and my aunt asked us what was wrong we would both stare at the same corner , like something was there. My family is very catholic and went to church every sunday , but since that day me and my cousin would always start crying as we approached the church and would not go in without being forced in.
This is the story my mom told me and she was really serious about it. She said that the sand that we were playing with had a curse on it. My uncle , who also came in contact with the sand , had a car accident that same day. With me and my cousin the curse lasted longer but it did not physically harm us. I don't know how we got cured because she doesn't want to tell me , she says she can't.
What do you guys think? Are curses real? Am i making this story up? Is my mom a schizo?
Drag me to hell was a great movie.
>>18511749
>Are curses real?
Yes, with 100% certainty.
>>18511756
I need to watch that! Some people are gifted with the power to curse through magics, some of those people are even wretched and stupid, yet they have the power. They live in poverty and are too lazy to find a job, and only steal, cursing anyone in their way.
Others with the power are natural predators or have ambition, they rise to become famous poets, gangsters, and some even became the pope.
Those with the legendary power all kept it a secret from the general public.
In what county of Romania did you lived in?
This pic. Is this photoshopped? A friend of mine share it. Hidden on in his computer. Messaged me about it. Thread theme, odd things you've randomly found.
>>18511748
wow so spooky its an eye
>>18511748
no its not photoshopped it is actually a giant human eye with the transparency set to 18%
OK, let's talk some real shit.

There is something afoot on this board right now.
So how can we (realistically) achieve immortality?
>>18511576
you dont and if you're asking x for opinions on how to achieve that you are sub 80 iq range and it wouldnt even happen to begin with
>>18511576
Modern medicine will allow us to to become immortal within 40 years most likely.
It is all thanks to deeper understanding about our bodies and aging really.
All you need to do is to keep being alive to that point and having quite a bit of money.
So go out and keep yourself healthy by working out, eating healthy. I would recommend not eating too much protein (not stopping eating it tho, that would be stupid) as that will increase your life quite a lot.
>>18511576
Stop brain cells from dying. That's literally the only way. We can replace everything else relatively easily.
What does /x/ think about aliens?
Do they run around naked on their homeworld or is it only something they think they can get away with here where no one knows their names?
>>18511010
They're not fucking real.
They're a concept made up by the government to ensure us that space outside of earth is an actual thing and isn't just a programmed machine that generates "star" patterns as well as the weather/sun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpOkvLRQiVk
It's all a fucking lie. Why do you think they can't find other signs of life/civilization out there?
>>18511037
That video is dumb and I'm pretty sure that aliens DO exist. We can't be the only life forms in the entire universe. There are so many planets, moons, stars, and galaxies out there. Saying aliens don't exist is one of the dumbest things anyone can say.
DAILY REMINDER THAT CREATING A TULPA IS A VERY VERY BAD IDEA...
>>18510079
Tulpas are just imaginary friends. If you're having problems with them, something went wrong with you more than in children who grew up without friends.
Not surprised that MLP faggots are having trouble.

>you wouldn't want a waifu like this
why?
Why, oh why, do people ALWAYS tell me drugs are the answer to truth and enlightenment? Friends keep telling me to try acid and shrooms in particular. Altering the mind with hallucinogenic drugs doesn't change the real world, nothing you 'learn' will apply to reality.
Try opening your mind, and expanding your narrow horizons.

Hey /x/ is there any other interesting artists that do things like michael jackson?
His songs and dances truly are something unique and worth of watching and hearing.

Welcome to /sum/, this is the thread for anything to do with summoning spirits for love, money, knowledge and power.
Want to have friends on the other side? Want to howl the secret names in the dead of night? This is your thread.
>PLEASE READ THE STICKY BEFORE >YOU POST: http://pastebin.com/ZHPM0KVz
It contains a complete step-by-step guide to your first Goetic evocation. Don't forget to post your experiences and results (or lack thereof) here so we can all learn from them. A special shout out to everyone who worked on it!
Summoners, would-be summoners, and innocent victims, all are welcome as long as you're respectful and stay on-topic.
So if I fuck this shit up at some point during the summoning shit, I.E. I trip and fall outta the circle, what will happen?
>>18509414
Don't do it, plain and simple. You won't be able to properly banish the Spirit if you do.
>>18509374
Who do I summon for love and charisma?
Hey /x/philes I plan on going 24 hours without sleep to reset my body clock today, then as long as I can without sleep starting Wednesday afternoon board time. What sort of mindfuckery can I/ have you experiance/d.
Purpose sleep deprivation thread I guess.
>>18508847
You're going to feel like shit and not much else
I don't think you'll experience any serious mindfuckery until like three days without sleep at the most
>>18508850
3 days? DAMN, my record is like 40 hours back when I was 20 and still posting on /b/.
>>18508878
You will probably feel weird and sleep deprived, sure but I am fairly certain you won't experience any big changes mentally unless you push passed 72 hours or so then things can get scary
