>Past /fringe/ was far more hostile. We had far more amount of unhinged fucks who just wanted to troll anyone who showed weakness.
I got my own little taste of the Smiley treatment when I had my first awakening at age 20.
A collage of a bunch of my /fringe/ posts was actually floating around on a major 8ch board back then Although unlike Smiley, my "trolls" had nothing but pure frothing hatred without a trace of mirth.
tbf I did have some sympathizers but they were usually much quieter. I'm gonna have to tell the full story of my first awakening sometime, but I've been worried it will draw those people here, and prevent me from feeling safe to spill my guts out like I need to.
Actually it recently occurred to me that I could use the bumplocked Awakening thread for this purpose, as it would be both hidden and probably the most on-topic contribution I could make to that thread so far. Hopefully it will still be in the catalog by the time I'm ready
Plus those guys were complete dumbfucks who couldn't even figure out how to identify separate posters on their own board, let alone /fringe/. Not to mention they seemed to think /fringe/ was solely about tulpas even though one of my posts in their collage explicitly stated I'm not interested in making a tulpa
>Didn't even know wtf a divorce was as a kid but I knew I have to make sure to stay with dad no matter what.
I've been thinking that I would've turned out way better if I had gone with my dad instead, no matter how degenerate his lifestyle was back then. He saw me as an actual person and would've done his best to protect me from his degeneracy. However that was never an option when they divorced seeing as he was
in prison
Ultimately I don't hold either of them in contempt. We could've been such a nice family if all their filth was cleansed before it became too late.
Last time I saw him he told me some details of what lead up to our separation, which I had never heard before. He was unemployed and looking for a job when he got badly physically injured, and the next day immediately got a job offer he couldn't attend because of his injury. He felt completely hopeless and drowned his sorrows in alcohol which lead to him beating us up or whatever
My memory of this is still entirely blacked out even though I can remember the aftermath pretty well.
He said that all he had to do was be patient and it would've worked itself out, but instead he destroyed his family for nothing.
>You will have to find your bravery
Though it may sound preposterous in my current state, I think that I have something of a warrior's soul. Perhaps not its primary characteristic, and not an
angry or
berzerker warrior, but a warrior nonetheless.
Isn't a warrior ultimately someone who lusts after oblivion?
When I read
Kali Kaula it described the 3 Gunas as representative of 3 paths, and the red rajas guna which corresponded to the way of the "Hero" is what resonated with me the most, by far. My first favorite color was red, which changed to always-subdued, colder colors in later childhood. I consider this symbolic of my warrior nature being repressed.
also my chart has a lot of fire in it, just not much martian energy at all
A while back when I was APing constantly, I recall encountering monster-like entities in strange astral realms and breaking through my initial fear to fight them instead. I think it was before then, when I was getting routinely attacked by parasites, including what is colloquially labelled "sleep paralysis demons," that helped me realize the power of simply not being afraid.
My problem with fear in this physical life is primarily a result of PTSD programming stored in my body that hijacks every other part of me, which I haven't been able to overcome yet. That's kinda why my practice is currently focused on trying to fix my body. I've been much braver, wiser, etc. outside of my body.
>Even the Buddha knew he cannot save everyone...
That is the most tragic thing of all
>The question is always if you want to be part of the solution or you realize the futility of entangling yourself with it from the start.
The only real problem I still have with it is being old enough to have experienced the world when it was relatively 'normal'
and much more pleasant only to have the rug pulled out from under me before I even had a chance. It feels like I got scammed. 9/11 killed the vibe but things weren't too bad yet, until the mid-'00s when I started to notice things getting cringier and gayer
if I only knew how right I would be... until smartphones hit and we all know how that went.
I distinctly remember thinking smartphones were the dumbest thing I'd ever seen, and noticing how hard they were getting artificially pushed in pop culture even without possessing much conspiracy knowledge at the time. But the one thing I'm most resentful about is how beautiful women were in the '90s compared to now. The plastic surgery, the face filters, and the weird makeup that makes them look like realdolls, alongside the overall aesthetic grotesqueness that's infested everything else, reminds me
and this is ironic coming from me so much of the visual novel
Saya no Uta in how nobody else seems to perceive or acknowledge the change. Everyone treats it as business as usual, including those who position themselves "against the system."
>Karma, culture and why the Kali Yuga sucks
I would greatly appreciate such a post if it could help me contextualize my life and why I am forced to spend my adulthood in shitty gay retard faggot world, and why it transformed so abruptly, lacking the natural progression that was apparent in earlier periods. Sometimes I wonder if we're in some kind of "garbage dump" timeline where other timelines discard shit they don't want. It seems like everything that happens now is just random nonsense. I mean, if covid was really a depopulation conspiracy, wouldn't the master propagandists want their narrative to at least make
some sense? It seems like they were winging it, literally just making shit up as they went.
And that's not to mention the huge volume of "Gnostic" media in the '90s. The Matrix even commented on why they had to simulate the 90s, the "End of History." It's all so mysterious to me.
But ultimately I know that my goal is to detach from it. Modernity won't matter when I can explore and create worlds of my own, and manifest the things that I like.
>There is no guarantee that in your next life you will have access to spirituality or you will be inclined to even bother with it.
It's difficult to imagine myself even bothering to live a life without spirituality.
