Do some of the habits you are trying to get rid of include coffee, chew, and weed? Because that is probably going a long way towards lowering your attention span. And probably fucking up your head a bit as well. A good friend of mine smoked weed for decades, and eventually he started thinking a lot of similar things (although in a completely different field). To the point where his wife and kids were worried and begged him to stop smoking weed. Slowly he did, and when he was done he wondered wtf he had been talking about all that time he was in the weed fog.

I'm not saying weed always causes this sort of thing, or that everyone will develop weird thoughts on weed, but it seems obvious that it *could*, so maybe give that a shot first and see how it goes? Maybe you'll still feel spiritual without all the chemicals raging through your brain, but it would probably be best to figure out if that is affecting it or not before proceeding any further.

Just my opinions, obviously. And I know you won't listen to anything I say because of the UFO thread, but at least I tried.

What about my first post in this thread do you think are weird thoughts or disagree with that might be a result of my over-indulging in devils lettuce?

Nothing at all about your first post, except for your reference to the other things you have started believing in, that you post elsewhere.

If you had never posted a thing prior to this, I would still make the suggestion to cut out or at least tone down the chemicals because of my experiences with others using them. But taken in a vacuum, nothing about your OP in this thread is "weird."

Since you brought up my other beliefs I will post some of them on this thread to maybe start some productive discussion. I made these around the beginning of February in the UFO thread. Let me know if anyone has any questions about any of it. Usually there is some kind of rhyme or reason for why I have come to believe what I believe. Please keep in mind this in in the Grown Up Forum and act accordingly. I originally typed this in a text to my brother for context. Since February my beliefs have evolved a little but remain largely the same. I've expanded my beliefs in a few areas and how it all ties into major world events but I can get to that later if it comes up.





Everyday I’m more convinced of the deeply spiritual nature of reality. I think Christ is real and I think his message was corrupted like all other religions to promote fear and guilt instead of his extremely simple message of Love.

Jesus was a space hippy bro. If he’s coming back it’s not to destroy humanity but to uplift it to a golden area.


I think reality is a human spiritual growth and learning simulation that uses reincarnation to provide life obstacles to overcome in each lifetime. The conquering of those life obstacles provides our eternal spirits with spiritual growth and learning. Each lifetime we learn new things as you can never learn everything in a single lifetime. I think at the end of each life we have an overview of our life and experience all the pain we inflict on others from their point of view as another tool of learning and growth.


Evil forces took over and manipulated the system to maximize suffering and he’s doing something about it.

I don’t think there was ever intended to be this much human suffering and it turns out it is not as helpful towards human/spiritual growth and development as was originally thought. And now the big man himself is making it right.
Those evil forces were able to control all of humanity by controlling a small amount of people at the top. Think media executives, earthly religious institutions, Smithsonian institute, and government leaders.

Heaven is 100% real, we all met everyone there for a while after each life to rest and recover and plan our next life and the spiritual growth we plan to receive from it.

We are all just tiny fractals of gods infinite consciousness experiencing his unbelievable creation subjectively and growing spirituality. We are all one and we are all divine. Thay is why we must do unto other as we would have them do unto us. There actually are no “others”. That’s what was hidden from us. Through meditation we can communicate directly with the prime mover and our bodies are the only temple we need. Everything I understand about quantum physics makes more sense from a video game design standpoint and anything that could have occurred naturally

Here is another post from the UFO thread. I've been thinking about religion and my issues with it for a long time. I always thought the 10 commandments were a pretty pathetic list so i decided to write a list of 10 rules I would consider to be helpful for a basis of personal spirituality and address the majority of my concerns.


1. We are all just tiny fractals of an infinite creator and consciousness experiencing his creation subjectively and growing spiritually. We are all one and we are all divine. We must do unto other as we would have them do unto us. When you truly become enlightened you realize that their is no such thing as "others"


2. We reject all earthly religions that are based on fear and guilt. Our message is exclusively to Love yourself and each other. We reject concepts such as eternal punishment as impossible. There is no unforgivable sin, even rejecting the Holy Spirit. We are all tiny fractals of an infinite creator , we are all one, we are all divine, we are all forgiven, we are all worthy of and capable of giving Love.

3. Our bodies are the only temple we need. We can communicate directly to our heavenly protectors and infinite creator through meditation and prayer which is then filtered by our own intuition and introspection with the important principles of honesty, integrity and service to others.

4. Self-improvement is a lifelong project with the focus on Loving ourselves and one another. Our ultimate goal here is to overcome the obstacles that we are born with in this lifetime and, in the process of overcoming those obstacles, discover who we are as individuals and provide ourselves and our eternal souls with spiritual grown and learning. Also provide love and support to others no matter where they are in their journey.

5. At no point will there ever be a paid staff, everything is volunteer based. Tithing is never required and never asked for. All donations come strictly from blessed members of their own free will. All donations are taxable to mitigate corruption as much as possible. Render unto Caesars what is Caesars.

6. No one's free will should ever be impinged upon.

7. Our trinity is the The Father, The Mother, and The Son. All of creation is based upon Good and Evil, Light and Dark, Ying and Yang, Male and Female. We believe in the equity of the male and female aspects of the human experience and consider them both to be completely equal and the differences between the two genders are to be equal, necessary, and a celebrated part of the human experience. As tiny fractals of an infinite creator experiencing his creation subjectively, we are all, everyone of us, the Sons of the Mother and Father.

8. There are no dietary rules but because our body is a temple there is a preference toward healthy, less processed food but without any judgement. In general, your body is a temple, treat it as such and you will be rewarded for it.

9. There is no specific holy day. We are all encouraged to give thanks and ask for guidance from our Infinite Creator through daily prayer and meditation with is then filtered by our own intuition and introspection with the important principles of honesty, integrity and service to others.

10. Self forgiveness is a necessary part of accepting yourself and being able to help others. Perfection was never expected by our infinite creator.
