Honestly, I don't hate all of the messages. If you're taking all that literally, though, you're probably nuts.

[–] Bizarroland@kbin.social 17 points 9 months ago (4 children)

The other thing is it's not exactly like the matrix is made to be broken. People have been talking about the concept of Maya, that the world as presented to us is nothing but an illusion meant to keep us trapped, for thousands of years.

They claim that the enlightened people the bodhisattvas the jesus's and Muhammad's have broken through the illusion and stayed back to help guide us along the way.

Which is all well and good but that does not mean that breaking the illusion is easy. It doesn't even mean necessarily that it is possible because first you have to prove that an illusion exists and then you have to prove that there is a way to break it, and most people, I believe, go mad along the way.

I said all of that to say, if you find a way to break out of the matrix please for the love of God show me the way.

Literally just learn more about the world, not because you hate it and want to escape, but because you love it and want to know more about it. The cool thing about the real world is that it has an infinite depth, so no matter how far you go you will always have more to explore. As beings which inhabit only a small segment of the totality of what exists, you're never going to be capable of "escaping" to the "real world" the way that people talk about it, but that hardly means that you have to stay somewhere that you feel trapped.

Most people would take this as a bad advice... But psychedelics are somehow keys to unlock the "illusion".

A psychedelic trip is more than a simple illusion or trip. Some people have a life changing experience, contact with outter space beings, travelling on other states of consciousness...

People have a tendency to see those plants as dangerous or as addictive recreational drugs. Just because the media/science/law said so, but those substances are tools to explore your inner/outer-self and they are afraid that you reconnect with your inner intuition.

This would mean no corporate greed anymore, no war, no hate speech, no money, no slaves to build their empire on our workforce...

I'm 100% sure if every one would take those substances this would shift our global consciousness to something more pure, connected to every living being on earth, and treat it with respect !

But most of us are just brainwashed ego diluated beings, divided into smaller chunks of human race. Whatever you're, black, yellow, white, LGTBX... We all came from the same star dust, from a single point of singularity.

But yeah... that can be to much for some people and they can go crazy, specially if you have a higher ego. When your ego breaks down, you will feel empty and that can sometimes lead to mental instability, because you always thought that you were something special, when actually you are just like everyone else.

I do not encourage anyone to do it, but If you do, the most important part is to educate yourself, read great books about some erudit ethnobotanist, read the most recent studies on how they can elevate your well being, reduce your stress, addiction, and how/why those were used through history of time.

Last words: Set & Setting

From what I understand, psychedelics facilitate the connection of different areas of the brain which don't ordinarily speak to each other. This can be a profoundly spiritual experience, as it tends to be for me, but it will more or less FORCE you to deal with any issues you might have, which can be a terrifying experience for some people.

[–] N0x0n@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes that's true, that's also one part of the process. You will face your fears, issues, anxiety and other dark things hidden somewhere in your brain.

This always has to be a personal choice and educate yourself before doing something that might go wrong.

In most case, singing, breathing will help you out... That's way I do not encourage anyone, It's not easy and It can hit you really hard.

[–] Jknaraa@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

My own advice is always to make sure you do it in a controlled environment where you can adjust the level of stimulation (lights, music, etc) at will, and make sure you have an experienced friend to take care of you.

[–] Bizarroland@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

To a certain point I agree with you, mild psychedelics have been used for millennia to help people uncover their own issues and work through them.

The other side of that is that it is not a cure-all, and most of the people that habitually use psychedelics tend to check out from reality.

So, even if they can be used medicinally and be helpful, they are a double-edged sword in that just because you've seen through some of your own assumptions doesn't necessarily mean you've pierced the veil of the greater illusion of Maya.

So, even if they can be used medicinally and be helpful, they are a double-edged sword in that just because you’ve seen through some of your own assumptions doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve pierced the veil of the greater illusion of Maya.

I totally agree, that's way I stated that I wouldn't recommended it. Most of the time when you're ready to delve into this unknown realm, It should be a personal choice with proper education and respect. Most of the time when it's a personal choice it's because you feel it's the right time for yourself and not because cool-kids or some random stranger said so. It's some strange inner calling and mysterious curiosity that draws you into.

I've personally found them to be useful after I've already gained the knowledge to make a significant change, and the trip can help to actualize the understanding of how that knowledge fits into the greater world as a whole. They should definitely be paired with vigorous and passionate pursuit of real world knowledge during the rest of your life, for the best effect, in my opinion.

Be careful what you wish for...

Ok, Matrix Escape pact! If either of us gets out, we come back for the other.

Holy shit, there is so much material here for me to edit into shitposts. Thank you. Both stuff that I can do the blatantly edited style, and some I can just change some words and it'll turn into aneurysm posting.

[–] VoightKampffTested@lemdro.id 4 points 9 months ago

If you dig around among like space laser believers on social media & weird random websites you can find these memes it's very fun for image/video collages if you need to evoke something crazy + cultlike 😂

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Thank you for the lore update. I had been worrying.

[–] VoightKampffTested@lemdro.id 3 points 9 months ago

I am just glad that they're safe. Also banana cat videos have nothing to do with the rest I just have brainrot

This feels like a memetic kill agent

Entropy is the ultimate winner.

[–] HowMany@lemmy.ml 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That somebody assumes something as fucked up as all this should be blamed on being automatons in a matrix seems improbable.

Shouldn't we be weary of blaming "all this" on a computer program? (way to face reality, by the way). Or blaming it on some god. Or blaming it on ________________ (fill in the (blank).

These people think aliens are demons and the earth is under attack now

And you're talking about the 'sane' ones. And then there's worse. A LOT worse.

They're just smugly sharing all these dumb ass images all day and honestly it's kind of a vibe

See it's so close to quality schizo gnome posting it's disappointing

Good luck growing onions outside of the system though

[–] considine@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Flowing green faux Japanese characters do not provide a soil rich in what onions crave. Brawndo might. But Matrix code is right out.

Become a soulist. Destroy reality.
