I want to believe, but in my experience most things are often more horrifying than you first think.

The reason it's right is all around you. Seeping throughout the rocks, jumping between trees. It crawls in places you build structures to hide from. It bounds across the plains in search of a drink.

Nature? The abyss? Magic? The impossible? These are just names, words. Ideas.

The truth is that there is so much left to be discovered, and everything, everything up to this point, all life, resilient and diverse as it is, every civilization, no matter how advanced or widespread, every intelligence, no matter how refined, nuanced, cultured or educated, has utterly failed to discover it. And even now, knowledge rots in places forbidden of entry. Things too beautiful or frightening to possess, so they were sealed and left to rot or protected by fools who couldn't see the future and feared the beauty could be lost forever.

What lays waiting to be discovered will need your protection all the less once you've discovered it. The unknown is never weakened by discovery.

There is such a thing as false courage, where you hide yourself from yourself (ego aversion) and call it a victory. Many who claim to have experienced the illusion of the self have this false courage. True courage seeks suffering, it seeks attachment, but it seeks this in ways that are transformative instead of self-destructive. Courage loves fear, it seeks fear out so that it may make meaning from it.

There is no limit to the powers of modifying your conscious experience. You can think yourself into euphoria, learn to bend suffering itself like an optical illusion to end it, or manifest your own expectations in deep trance states that shift into lucid dreams. There is no truth to be found in these practices themselves except to the extremes by which perception and experience can be bent.

There is truth in courage, and that comes from facing the truth. What do you fear most being true or untrue? By exploring these fears, by making a science of them, comes self-discovery and self-authorship. The magic of bending your reality ought to be applied to manifesting these fears as experiences of reality to face and overcome them as such. You still have attachments, especially to magic and the other subjects of your poetic language.

There are three enlightenments: yin, yang, and both, yin is intuitive/analogical/atemporal/presentist/parallel/relational, and yang is logical/temporal/narrative/linguistic/serial. The combination is wearing a super-Fedora (hyper-logical and skeptical) and a wizard's hat (Magic is breaking reasoning/logic as creative praxis.) Heroism is guided courage, and reason must guide that courage to ensure it isn't folly (Being reckless isn't courageous.) Heroism is shining the light of inquiry freely, especially in self-inquiry.

Maybe its a meme but ive read the cia associations too. I think its reasonable the cia contributed to a lot of things without necessarily polluting the well.

If we imagine secret weapon labs.. they still, presumably work right?

OP why does your image get so schizo. theres more to life than everything is nothing. What nothing is is pretty interesting and useful
