My whole life has been a Journey. I blow off anything I don't want to do. Anything I need to do, I do grudgingly. I learned that the Universe, even the math we developed for it only gets man lost in it's size and scope. I don't think it has an end or a beginning. I believe we just move from one thing to another. There is an "off" state. But much like the Universe we live in, that isn't eternal. I started from, did what the world says happened before I was born actually happen? The Universe is bigger than ever before, so am I though. Enjoy the Synchronicity my dude.

One day I woke up and decided "I feel like walking" Just like in Forest Gump, I put together a backpack with some food, clothes, solar charger, small tent, and just started walking, I ended up walking from Bangor Maine to the city of Boston Massachusetts, during that time I met a lot of great people, stopped at places I never would of stopped at if driving, I slept in barns, in the woods, under bridges, people were nice enough to bring me into their homes and share their food sometimes, I saw a lot of great and crazy stuff, animals and freaky stuff in the woods late at night, it was completely amazing and it changed my life

When I arrived at Boston I admit I was a mess, I hadn't showered much and was tired and supplies were running low, I rented a hotel room and slept in a bed for the first time in days, I showered and cleaned my clothes, gathered more supplies and thought "Fuck it, I want to go to New York City" but then I realized I had been gone for over a month, and my free days were coming to an end, I had to get back to work, and my family, and my friends, I ended up calling in a favor from a friend who came and picked me up and took me home

Overall, it was an amazing experience, I know I didn't walk that far compared to those who walked across America, but it was an amazing adventure and I found out a lot about myself, my life has been much better after that journey

Go on that adventure, OP, fuck driving, fuck flying, walk your ass around the world and see its beauty first hand.

Yes. At the strip club with a 40 year old 350 pound stripper named Shanaynay.

Why live vicariously through a book when I can just live.

>Have any of you guys here ever went on a journey to just find yourself?

Yes.

>What was the result?

I discovered massive parasitism by informational organisms. Following this led to me realizing that global civilization wasn't built for human beings, but for our memes and bureaucratic structures. We're merely the hosts of parasites that feed on humanity, cattle. Many realize this and think it's the Jews, or the rich (who are merely manager-slaves) or whatever conspiracy, but the terrifying thing is that it's not, it's just the work of unconscious informational structures in the noosphere replicating from mind to mind and manifesting into reality.

Said another way: we live in a giant paperclip maximizer: https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Paperclip_maximizer What is being maximized is capital, profit, the conversion of living and dead matter and human consciousness into different dead matter. As long as this system exists we are destined to destroy ourselves. Once the paperclip maximizer has successfully turned everything into paperclips, it carefully shaves off parts of itself to make as many paperclips before it ceases functioning.

I'm currently involved in a memetic war with the soul-eater along with many others, who may or may not know they are fighting such a battle on such a level. This post is part of that battle, the hope is that perhaps some of these associations are reproduced and mutate to help bring a small bit of awareness to this ancient evil.

If I'm really lucky someone who can dig this will click this link: https://vimeo.com/user39206120 and watch the videos, presenting many more associations in a (hopefully) entertaining way.

Good luck and may us help us all.

That is such a fucking cool story. I would love to have an experience like that. Not doable at the moment thanks to student loan debt, but maybe one I get that paid off someday I'll do it. Fuck that sounds awesome.

i found myself when i entered a stinky toilet after someone used it and smelled their poo. it was disgusting, but as I sat down i felt their warm toilet seat and when my shit started to stink, i was unsure whether to start enjoying it if it was mine or be disgusted incase it was still the smell from someone else. after about 3 minutes I was sure the stench was mine, so i stared sniffing in and enjoying it.
