The Illusion Of Communication

i cant add much but when i was a teenager i was a wreck. i hated everything, hated everyone, family turned thier backs on me, but you do get through it all in the end.

you will never understand life as no one ever will you have to find that right place for yourself where you are most comfortable, i am 27yrs old and every one of my high school friends has left me behind with no one around its sad but i accept it for what it is. Although i have been ditched by everyone i am the only one out of my friends that has a good job, a great family of my own, and most of all the best girlfriend someone could ask for what more do i need......herb

Well Inferius, I feel what you are saying.
And that is exactly the thing... I feel it.

You made me feel something by making me think about it. Sure it probably is different from you, but you made me feel it. That's what communication is all about, trying to achieve states, and make others feel those same states, and relate. Surely we all have different ideas, etc, but in the overall process of being a human being, we all feel the same feelings. We all have the same kind of bio-machine in our heads, and we can certainly relate to one another by describing those states to each other.

I know what you mean by psychedelics, my brain is fried, thus rendering my feelings and emotions rather different than some others. That was MY choice though, and I still accept it to this day. You can't look down at what plant teachers have thought you, because it will make you look down on everything in life. Use what you've learned wisely, and remember that you are human, too, just like everyone else.

We're all the same.

>>>>>>>>>>>>But we all die alone.
>>>>>>>>>>>>We never truly understand one another. >>>>>>>>>>>>We are always, forever, alone.

And that, is absolutely foolish. You do not know how we die, therefore do not revolve everything in your life based on this saying..it's ridiculously negative, and will bring you nowhere positive.

Hey dude,

I've never 'spoken' to you before, but I liked your post; I know you're probably not feeling too great, but I admire the way you can still be that honest.

I can sort of understand what you're feeling. There's been times when i've had the same ideas about myself and people and life.

We're just objects that move about and make noises, anything more than that is just our imagination. We all know it, but we cover it with things that distract us and help us pretend that we don't know it. It's those things that confuse us and we're hardly even aware that it's happening or that it's already happened. But if you try and remember that when your thoughts go too deep it might help you relax a little.

I had loads of stuff to say but i've kinda smoked alot, and every thought is followed by another thought so quickly that it's hard to get them into a line, at least one that makes sense. I'm not going to wish you luck or anything dude, but I just hope that one day those things fade out a little and you can go back to enjoying the objects.

So how you been doin' Gizmo? I found this an interesting read and I guess didn't want to see it go down quite so soon.

You feelin' any better since this post? I see you're breezy, but just HOW breezy are you? =)

Take care. ~

Life is so god Damn confusing planty.

It's 4:30 a.m. and I can't sleep. I usually take this as a sign I need to get up and write something.

I am feeling better though. So much of what all of you said feels correct, even if I struggle to accept it.

He says we are all going up a spiraling staircase, occasionally looking over the railing at where we used to be.
My problem seems to be the nagging desire to try and see through the bottom of the stairs above me.
Which is where you come in. You chuckle to yourselves before leaning over the railing and hollering support and a little insight from your perspective.
Thank you all for doing this.

Heh. Someone made a thread about me. They write as though I am on the verge of suicide. Do I come across as Suicidal? I don't think so. When I first saw it, my mind immediately tried to understand their motives for bringing such attention to me, and to themselves (as well as recoiling in horror).
I guess I am analytical.

>>>Although I can't be sure how "true" an emotional connection over the anonymity of the internet is, I suppose I can just tell my insecurities to shut up, filter out the bad, and take all the good in stride. This would be the healthiest approach, no?

>>>If I have your attention, I have a few more questions to ask.

Is it all worth it in the end? (not at the end of your life, just, after all the teenage/early-twenties)

What did you mean by "I know what you mean by psychedelics, my brain is fried, thus rendering my feelings and emotions rather different than some others" ? In a bad way??! (notice the panicky question mark exclamation combo)

Would meditation be a hobby someone could "actively" focus on? Giving them a reason to live? Etc Etc?

How did you choose your career??

Oh god the sun is coming up.
Bright light. Bright light!

Much Joy,

No, not really in a bad way. We as human beings learn to adapt, and I surely am doing that. I just feel like...sometimes I "feel" more than others. I pick up on intuitive things a lot faster and stronger than my surroundings. I try to control it and not let it overwhelm me though, which is a challenge on its own.

Meditation is excellent. I truly recommend it.

I would elaborate on this, but work needs me. But hey it's friday!!

I won't let you down brother Inferius, I'll show you some cool stuff tonight.

Stay up friend.
