Questions!
I'm a skeptic. I think you're an 18 year old who does drugs. Here's the questions:
What makes you any different from, say, every single other 18 year old who chugs a bottle of robitussin and becomes a "super-spiritually enlightened" TeenagerWhoJustChuggedABottleOfRobitussin/medium?
Also, since I mold my own reality, just as you mold yours, why do you feel it necessary to attempt to mold others realities with your 'insights'? Shouldn't you just be satisfied with your newly attained secret knowledge and hidden truths rather then try to push them on some random weed smokers?
I'm not saying I don't believe you have some sort of special knowledge, or that you're a medium for something from another realm. I'm just saying that I don't believe you have some sort of special knowledge, or that you're a medium for something from another realm.
And here's my wisdom from my mere 16 years of existance ((as compared to your 18/900)): Don't take your knowledge from some kid on drugs, earn your own! It's alot more fun that way.
I'll admit certain drugs ((dxm being one of them)) often make you more creative, thereby better at stringing poetic words together that appear to be meaningful prose, but I have a really hard time believing that any drug puts you in tune with anything more then your own observations. ((aka god and/or random entities))
i aspire for shamanhood. ask me anything.
Pendulums?
Do you think they give correct advice or do you think the are just rubbish that does not work.Also ouija do you think it really is communication with spirits or just mind power that gives you answers ? Do you believe we can make contact with people that have passed ?

thanks for questioning, encatuse. if everyone blindly accepts what i say, what's the point?

You're partially right. I'm 18. I haven't smoked weed, or done anything else for that matter, for three months(except for the DXM I did a few nights ago, but that for some reason gave me no unusual insight), but I do enjoy weed when I get the chance.

Spiritually, nothing at all. Everyone inherently has the same spiritual knowledge, it's just a matter of discovering it beyond the ego's fears, doubts, and needless rationalizations. I just seem to be much more inclined to these realizations, seeing as, like i said, i've been off weed for three months and yet still experience daily spontaneous insights of the same strength and caliber as a nice "super-spiritually enlightened" high. By the way, you're obviously mocking the spiritual aspect of substances - i'm curious, why do you feel this way?

I'm not forcing anything on anyone. ive had a remarkable accumulation of knowledge for quite some time, and i've been satisfied with keeping it to myself. but recently i decided it'd be a good exercise to allow some anonymous people to ask me questions and i could tell them what i know. it's nothing more. if you think i'm full of shit, that's fine. if you don't want to listen to me, i don't care.

i completely agree. knowledge gleaned from your own experience is the absolute best knowledge. the worst thing to do would be to take what i say and blindly follow it. go out and test it. see for yourself.

i've never tried an ouija board, so i can't say anything from experience. but it seems to me there are plenty of ways to obtain knowledge more reliable than putting your faith in a board game. it really depends on the person and their mentality and faith. but things like that are always open to misinterpretations and influences from the ego. yes, of course we can make contact with those who has passed from their body, just as they sometimes make contact with us. they're still around... it's just hard to recognize them. :)
as water evaporates, it seems to disappear. but it's simply in a form we can't see.

at its worst, yes, religion can be very limiting and unnatural. at its best, it can be equally unifying, open, and even enlightening.
thoughts, feelings and actions are the same way. they are the most important creators of our reality. like i said before, what is outside reflects what is inside. this is just common sense. if you're naturally a happy, hopeful, healthy, balanced person, your life will naturally be happy, hopeful, healthy and balanced. if you show a lot of anger, fear and disdain to people, they'll do the same to you.
what affects the body affects the mind affects the soul affects the mind affects the body.

Do you believe you can look someone in the eyes and see through there soul?
I actually mean can you look at a person and know what there intentions are like weather they are a bad evil person or a good person? That will be one instinct that i really rely upon in my life.Even from a small child i could see bad in certain people when everyone else thought they were an angel.I always prooved people to be wrong in that way.Like at the moment there is a person who has just come into our family and he seems very sweet and lovely and i just know that he is hiding something really bad.Believe me it may be 2 years but they will know soon enough.I feel bad not saying anything but what if i am wrong one time.I hope i am wrong with this one.Do you get that with people ?

eyes are really interesting and beautiful. yes, i think they are literally the window to the soul. if you know how to read them, they can tell you everything about a person.
about the jesus/burrito question... well, i've come up with countless thoughts and answers, all of them jumbling up into one mass of confusion. one conclusion leads to another question, which leads to more questions. so i think i'll stick with one answer everyone here can understand:
i dont fucking know. ask jesus. :)
seriously, i do have several ideas, but damn, that's a lot of typing, and a lot of stuff that's almost impossible to put into words. i guess if you can't live without my answers...

dont feel special, i become a mystic as well when im tripping on dxm, lol
i was thinking about this before, and may have posted about it somewhere, but here it goes. do u think a person can be the same person if they lost all their memories, or do they become some one entirely new? also along the same line what consitutes what a person is, is it just his past experiences or something else?

i like this question better, so i'll answer it first. :p
there's no easy answer - this is the question ever religion has been built around.
as i understand it, what happens immediately after death is pretty simple. think of it this way: you live your entire life in a house(your body). dying is finally leaving that house. now you're free - you can go wherever you want, do whatever you want. problem is, a lot of people are still in their houses, and you can't come in unless they invite you. BUT, most people refuse to unlock their doors or look out their windows, so they don't even know you(or anyone else that has "died", for that matter) exist. and there's no way to tell them you do. major spiritual practices, such as a good shroom trip, are like looking out the window, or even stepping outside the door for a second.
that makes death sound like a pretty shitty thing. but it's quite the opposite. let's get off abstract metaphors.
have you ever lucid dreamed? most of the time when you're dreaming, you're convinced it's real. a lucid dream is where you realize it's just a dream, and thus, you become conscious in the dream. your senses come intact, you have full control, and you're able to do whatever you want. anything. you can fly, visit anywhere you want, meet anyone you want, talk to your subconscious, traverse the cosmos, whatever. i think this is the best model we have for what happens immediately after death. you're still in the dream, but you've sort of awoken at the same time, and since you aren't confined to your body anymore, you can do anything. you're free. when you desire something, it happens(this is the same as in "life", but the difference is, after death you are not confined by the laws of your body or your ego, so your desires are fulfilled instantaneously - i might talk about this later).
but there are still people in the "asleep-dreaming" state, and you can't directly interefere with their life - nor do you want to. most people, after death, lose attachments they have to the physical world, and they realize they don't have to be in direct, physical contact with a person to give and recieve love.
there are, however, more disturbed souls that still insist on having attachments to the physical world - poltergeists and ghosts.
it's innaccurate to say you leave your body. you leave the heaviest, temporary part of it - you know, that thing made of bone, muscle, fat, blood, etc. there's a part of your body that's everlasting. you know those portrayalas of death where the transparent image of the person rises up out of the body and walks/flies away? yeah, it's like that. FYI, and interesting fact - it's known among the scientific community that, upon death, the human body immediately loses 21 grams of weight. just something to think about.
...and all of that is the first stage of death, as i understand it. after that, i'm not too sure. if life is a dream, and the first stage of death is a lucid dream, then the next stage is probably waking up altogether - leaving the physical world entirely. or maybe you go right back into another physical body - a "next life"(although this is again innaccurate - life is continuous, our bodies are the temporary things). i don't know, it probably depends on the person and what they want to do. there are no set rules.

you are always you. nothing changes that. memories are a conscious thing - even if you get amnesia, your subconscious is unlikely to forget. in a way, you never lose your memories. as long as its happened, it's a part of you.
besides, you already have a great deal of amnesia... you've forgotten what happened before you were "born". but those experiences are still a part of you, whether you realize it or not.
