why do so many non-religious people seem to completely reject the mere possibility of an after-life, or even just a soul, or some kind of spiritual energy connecting lifeforms?

    I have an attachment to the empirical and falsifiable that's probably childish.

    I have honestly wanted to engage with the spiritual, but nothing's hooked me. Probably need to do mushrooms in the forest.

      As your doctor and priest, I prescribe 3g shrooms or 1 hit (100-200 mcg) LSD + 2-300 mg ketamine (taken after you've come up and are crusing along nicely from the shrooms/acid), alone in a darkened room with headphones + music (I recommend throbbing gristle/early psychic TV). This is very sound medical and theological advice, don't worry.

      Edit: you may wanna do this with a buddy around in the next room, just in case. And be sure to lie down in a comfy place before the K hits, since you'll probably lose track of your body completely while you explore the astral and etheric realms.

      Edit 2: to contextualize your experience, you may want to read "Programming and metaprogramming the human biocomputer" by John C. Lilly beforehand, maybe also "Prometheus rising" by Robert Anton Wilson.

      Everybody on this post needs to meet the mushroom spirits tbh, this teapot stuff is for nerds who've never been to Jupiter
