This is a very weird question, so no worries if y'all don't have great answers because I have exactly zero answers myself.
I've been thinking recently about how I am a dedicated ML, and do subscribe to materialism. But I also have a spiritual tinge to me, one that was pretty fired up by psychedelic use and the listening to some Buddhist audios along with Duncan Trussell and Alan Watts.
I guess I'm just wondering if there's any serious contradictions by subscribing to MLMZT while also getting a little deeper into the metaphysical aspect of philosophy? I have always found the Buddhist outlook and the lenses that I look at life through propelled by psychedelic use very useful, interesting, motivating, and just fun.
Like, I can recognize when there's people just saying extremely vague things and selling a "get enlightened NOW" course for $999.99, so don't get the idea that I'm like falling into some culty shit. I just enjoy the hope-core, insightful/philosophical takes that don't seem to fall directly in line with Marxism.
The Egg story (Kurg video on YT ironically enough, the Gates funded channel) being an example, or Duncan Trussells "The Midnight Gospel" (which I haven't actually watched but just saw the one famous clip of the mother being sucked away into death as she talked about the ego, reincarnation, the universe just being love, etc.)
Interestingly, I actually got involved with Marxism originally partly because of psychedelic use and the shock it sent through my philosophical/world outlook.
Anyways yap over, THIRD PARAGRAPH IS THE MEAT OF THE POST!!! thx in advance <3
Spiritualism and marxism are not compatible, however this doesnt mean you can't live with some degree of both. Contradictions are inherent in nature, until you're ready to resolve them its ok to study both.
