I'm definitely not a drug addict {but I might get a little rowdy when I'm flying}

What kind of power?

descender said:Loving yourself is actually pretty simple, isn't it? It's basically just basic survival instinct. Even animals get a little bit of that if you twist their nature just enough. What’s actually hard—and what makes humans so unique—is self-hatred. After The Fall of Man, it felt like everything worked to drive us away from the world, keeping us stuck in that weird, empty space between moments. I really think consciousness comes from this sense of self-loathing. That’s where the whole human thing starts. I hate myself: therefore, I am truly human. Being conscious means being split off from who you really are. It’s a constant internal battle. This hatred lives deep in our roots, yet somehow, it’s also what feeds The Tree of Knowledge.

So, we end up as people standing outside of the world, totally disconnected from ourselves. You can't even really call us "living" creatures because our connection to life is so shallow, right? And our connection to death is just as thin. Since we can't find a middle ground between living and dying, we've basically been faking it from the start. We're intruders. Pseudo-animals. Impostors. Consciousness—this weird ability to not fully belong to anything—wasn't exactly part of the original plan for the universe. We know it, too. But we aren't brave enough to lean into it and face the end, and we aren't willing to let it go just to survive. We're strangers to our own nature, lonely within ourselves, caught between the present moment and whatever comes next. How can we claim any reality when we're only halfway there? We're beings without true existence.

Every move toward pure thought feels like a betrayal of life itself. Why doesn't he just stop this whole "consciousness" adventure so he can reconnect with the world? But he can't. He's trapped by a self-hatred he won't let go of. By The Path of Salvation, he's constantly trying to reinvent himself just to prove he's still a fascinating creature.

Consciousness is such a temporary thing, yet he pushes it until it practically explodes, shattering along with it. Maybe by tearing himself apart, he finally reaches his true core and fulfills his purpose: becoming his own worst enemy. If life warped matter, then he has warped life. Will this happen again? Probably not. It looks like we might just be nature's very last, unpredictable whim.

great

Anyone here from Africa {or maybe Asia}?

So, zero is basically everything, right? Total nothingness and the divine are just one and the same... or are they? 🤔

We can imagine any kind of vision we want, I guess.

I find it totally fascinating why after December 31st {12} we jump straight to January 1st {1}... instead of some "zero-zero" era? But then again, once you hit 23 hours and 59 minutes, it becomes 0:00. Even though both are mathematical concepts rather than physical ones—you know, actual time—it’s like you can't even physically describe that moment.{english time}

Zero actually holds four—even in English, it’s just zero. So when you picture a zero, think about four {a there are four corners to the world, four seasons, four suits in a deck of cards}

The starting point... {physical zero just doesn't exist—you can't actually have zero things on your skin. We've got hair, we've got body parts, if we put clothes on, we’re wearing something, and if we take them off, we’re still just ourselves. So, proving a physical zero is pretty much impossible. But a mathematical zero? That definitely exists—like having zero dollars in your wallet or zero minutes of intimacy. You know?}

Let's wish them a happy

Ariana Grande Arjen Robben {1984}

On this day, we also remember the passing of

Salvador Dalí {1989}

I mean, yeah... just like how there's no such thing as "Year Zero."
(Though I really wish there was a "Zero Dollars" month for those days when I'm between jobs.)

Man, it’s actually pretty rare to hit exactly 0.00 degrees Celsius.
It only stays there for a few minutes before it dips to -0.01 or jumps up to +0.01, right?

Way more than just a course {for beginners}

darksurfer4 said:Space isn't even empty, really. There’s no such thing as a true vacuum out there. It’s always filled with something—just gas and dust everywhere...

Exactly... when someone says they feel empty, they aren't talking about physics. They mean it spiritually. You know, that deep exhaustion from dealing with all the injustices in the world.

Terry Wilson5 said:Look, I’m all about free speech, man. When you see people getting silenced just because they don't fit a certain mold, it feels wrong. People love to judge and call others out, but honestly? I think it's just that we don't have the right tools yet to truly express what we believe. That doesn't feel like fair play to me.

The world is spinning, and life is all about that raw power—you know, that pure energy.

Terry Wilson5 said:Honestly? It feels totally pretentious. There’s zero substance there—just someone with an average IQ and a massive ego. I actually had a run-in with her on another forum once, and she reported me immediately. That was it; conversation over. But hey, that’s just my two cents. I’ve got nothing against the people who worship her or think she’s some kind of flawless icon.

Man... it’s like feminism is just baked into her DNA at this point. A wild mix of old-school radicalism and modern-day bravado.

flying said:I don't think it’s just about easy access to porn. My aunt had this guy back in the day—like forty years ago—who totally lost his mind after she turned him down. He kept sending her these pathetic letters written in blood until my uncle (who probably ended things) pulled him aside for a little "man-to-man" talk. There have always been guys obsessed with certain fetishes; maybe it's all just some deep-seated 'mommy issues' at play. 😬

Terry Wilson5 said:Macabre is basically making up diagnoses based on one single relationship or a breakup that absolutely wrecked him. It was his total descent into a black hole—a vacuum of pure derealization. But man, that's exactly why I love him.

Do you guys remember the Great Recession?

Terry Wilson5 said:People who are constantly fighting their own inner demons—those are the truly great ones.
Personally, I’m obsessed with Macabre. And honestly? Carl Rivera43 totally won me over with those live streams of his. I watch everything he does. That's just how I am, I guess!

Man, those were the days.

Terry Wilson5 said:I'm not accepting this academic circle without any descenders or Macabre included.

Honestly, Macabre just gives me major Tabasco vibes.
