The latest internet spiritualism fads seem to be so invested in a no-rules type of spirituality that is ultimately very solipsistic. I think it's a result of our late capitalist isolation - some people want to push back against it but others fully embrace it. The idea that you can create a whole different reality based solely on your OWN decisions where other people are essentially just objects in your new reality while you maintain subjectivity is very solipsistic. 21st century cults are reflective of our new stay-at-home reality - why go to the compound with the rest of your Brothers and Sisters? Stay at home, microdose mushrooms and colloidal silver, and have your cult delivered to you over the Internet!
what if these internet based solipsistic mushroom cults begin to refine themselves until eventually someone creates internet based monotheistic islam
I can’t even dunk on shit like this it just makes me sad. I so understand just wanting to be in another world and hoping beyond hope that you’ll just one day wake up where it’s better and not hell world
Yeah same, that's why I didn't put it in the dunk tank. I've also wanted to just go somewhere else, to some world which is less shit. I get where these people are coming from.
People who have no connection to material reality will make up all kinds of bullshit ideologies and world views.
I've read through some posts and it's a bit sad. Similar vibe to readings posts people write about their AI girlfriends.
Reminds me of this subreddit I came across once called /r/twinflames. As far as I can tell it's like the concept of a "soul mate." I was introduced to it by a user posting about how their life sucks because their "partner" or something (I can't remember what word they used) won't spend time with them. And everyone was like "dude this person wants nothing to do with you leave them alone" and I checked their post history and it was full of this twin flames stuff where they had convinced themselves they had some kind of supernatural connection with some random person who literally did not even want to be friends with them. After a little bit of pushback from people outside that sub they deleted their entire account. Probably made another one and just hang around in the creepy echo chamber after that.
(Oh god one of the top posts right now mentions shifting, there's a connection
seriously though this stuff is freaky)Twin Flame is literally a cult run by some creepy ex-tech bro and his wife. They literally arrange marriages for people and if they marriages don't work out they tell them it's due to some "spiritual failing". Netflix just did a documentary about them.
Nah, that's just one specific cult using the term. It's not the whole "community." There are several of these online delusion echo chambers.

Believe it or not it also happens whenever you jerk off. Your alternate reality version jerked off to something much less disgusting.
You can’t make me stop lustfully gazing at the meadow full of flowers! My clone won’t win this contest!
Gooning is still an offence even if the goon material is a meadow full of flowers. However, the exception remains that it is permissible if there is a remembrance of Stalin.
arnold voice I’m always gooning, I remember Stalin and it’s like I’m gooning.
Proceed, but remember that
is watching (not Gooning, to be very clear DOES NOT goon)
all vital essences must be kept to ones' self, else

shifting is moving your consciousness from one reality, the one your currently in, to a reality that you want to be in.
Manifest destiny.
i hate that i already knew about this because a relative got really into it like a bit over 6 months ago or so, tbf she's also 13 and realised it was bullshit after like two weeks so i think she can be forgiven
There are far worse things a 13 year old can get mixed up in on the internet tbf.
I'm reading their FAQ and it's pretty crank. The thing I've noticed is that everyone has a desired reality (DR) but since it's extraordinarily unlikely that people will share the same DR due to differences in what they consciously and subconsciously desire, the vast majority of DR would be populated by clones with only the shifter as the "real" conscious agent, which is pretty depressing. Almost nothing that happens in the DR transfers over to current reality (CR), which makes the DR pretty pointless outside of experiencing a particular psychedelic experience or, as I suspect, as a form of escapism and coping in a harsh reality. Something bad happens in CR, you shift to your DR as your clone in CR eats shit, and you shift back to CR after the dust has settled.

I've heard about this before.
The internet was a bad move
people who are basically “racially trans,” meaning they change from one race/ethnicity to another
shit I have ever seen.
bravo
