i've seen a few wizards who don't seem healthy.

is too bad because being healthy is easy once you know what matters.
the practice of being healthy i have reduced to managing of habits:

you constantly manage your habits. you find out what they are by doing the opposite of being in autopilot. manual flight. then you imagine the long term consequences of each habit. then you decide if you want those, the development of a desired state. keep the desirable habits, reduce all those you don't want through constant attention on your habits.

as you do this you might stumble upon ways to improve upon the desirable habits. this is almost already doing the next thing, which is finding good new habits to practice and slowly wondering when you have time to do them.

it is up to you to be healthy, it is an option, you can make this happen if you so choose. health is one choice away.

I don't understand.
I only drink water 80% of the time. I like fat-free milk as a drink to go with most desserts and different teas for minor physical discomforts. I admit I sometimes juice lemons and add a bit of sugar, no water, as a treat a few time a year. Lemons are delicious and a reminder of what humans can achieve.

i like to make a milk from hemp seeds, i think it is the best milk there is, requires a powerful blender to make but those are no longer as unaffordable as they were 10 years ago.

you might enjoy blending whole organic lemons in water with dates, another case for the powerful blender, the hardest carrying worker of the kitchen.

i keep wondering if all fiction could be unhealthy for the brain. human life is so short, a day has so few hours. how can you take one or more of these hours and flee to a place that doesn't exist and disconnect from your own reality.

places that don't exist have begun to repell me. my own reality has so many projects i would like to attend to that i feel gridlocked by not knowing what to do first. desire for fiction might be nothing but pure idleness.

i assume i understand the impulse, though i could be mistaken. when i was a child and were forced to attend child prison (school), the idea of no longer being able to explore the world at my own pace and instead had to spend time with the violent conformist was completely depressing. have them judge my intelligence based on how hard i could force myself to care what they thought was important in their desperate attempt to turn me into a mindless soldier and stomp all my dreams and interests in the process.

i'd flee into video games and at least videogames are interactive. in a video game i can make decisions, in school i was but an inmate without agency. but in a movie about a super hero, there is no interaction, the poor fool who watches this is but the passive recipient of centralized propaganda. i don't see how someone would accept this premise and spend time on this.

thought of a tiny detail i'd like to add to the mountain of ideas that is accumulating against this unhealthy vice of fiction, which even though i gave it every opportunity to be defended starts to look like a puddle of tears to me.

a guy who meditates i believe will be infinite times more interesting then a guy who watches popular contemporary fiction. doesn't that mean it is better not to watch the popular slop? fiction seems to me like fast food. it is designed to seduce you but even though you pay for it with your most precious currency (time that is), it still puts you at a disadvantage and you would be better of eating real food. real food i believe to be living an actual human life in physical reality.

>Politics are the opposite of fiction

i think you are missing the bigger picture here. democracy is a theater play. rich people have henchmen and they make the rules for everyone else. if you break them, they inflict violence upon you, even when you don't break any rules, they will still inflict violence upon you. because this sucks for everyone else, the rich people have paid another class of henchmen to pretend that everyone else is actually involved in the process of making rules for everyone else, even though this is not true. there are those who believe this theater play (you) and then there are other people who don't believe it (me) and the henchmen keep lists about people like me to make sure to violate me extra hard.

you don't seem to be aware of that, which makes me question your intelligence. what makes you believe this is a democracy is that you are either one of the henchmen and you are doing theater (fiction) right now with me or you have been trained to think so little that the theater was enough to convince you and you never grew suspicious and you can generally be summarized as a teacher's pet.

My cat's my best friend. I'd kill or die for her. She's been curling up against my chest lately instead by my feet as normal, so I do believe she's trying to help. Pets are the 1 good thing humanity's managed, and even then some breeds of animal are just too unethical to keep perpetuating.
Waking up to my scalp being stroked by toe beans is still a creepy feeling. But it's well-intentioned so I shouldn't be ungrateful. I'll have tuna salad for dinner so I can reward my small guardian with a bit of tuna. It's the only 'human' food she likes.

Should I take the Catholic pill?

They seem to genuinely respect Wizards and have a tradition of hermits. Their priests are a celibate ruling class.

I didn't grow up around Christians but it seems like the difference between them and other Christians is that they're the original church together with the lesser known Orthodox Church.

I don't get all the rules they have though. You shall attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor. You shall confess your sins at least once a year. You shall receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least during the Easter season. You shall observe the days of fasting and abstinence established by the Church. You shall help to provide for the needs of the Church, each according to his or her own ability.

I'm overwhelmed. I get why people just go with the DIY protestant approach but it seems like if the Catholics are one of the original churches Jesus said was legit then it's a safer bet.

Look I don't get how there can be a miracle like resurrection either and frankly all the Abrahamic religious miracles seem really underwhelming compared to the wild stories of Hindu gods. But so many people believe in Christianity from a Pascal's wager perspective it seems like I might as well consider it.

At least it'll make me feel like I'm less LARPing some fantasy wizard and instead I'll seem like a faithful religious hermit which gets more respect points

But if you just do it for community… ok, nice. But remember that the problems still are there, noy the fake tradition, but asshole or annoying people like every place.

I like Thelema, they have some funny rituals and can give you in same way some edgy-cult serious experiences. You dont even need to join a cult or community group to live to the philosophy or religion, just do it and read.
I got some interesting psychological-body related experiences doing ritual like Resh, lrp, middle pillar, yoga, pranayama, mantrayoga and some buddhist practices.

Do you want to change your life?
Do you really want to change your life?
MEDITATE
Wizzies, meditation is highly famous but seldom practiced seriously. The results from meditation takes time. It's like exercise. During the first day it will be hard to stay still and concentrate, but as you practice it, your body and mind start getting used to it. The benefits are immense. To mention a few:
>it improves concentration a lot
>it quiet your inner monologue, reducing it to 96% or even 100% depending on how well you are praticing it
>it increases the size of your pre-frontal-cortex which is responsible for making decisions
>increases gaba, which is the chemical that makes you calm
>it sharpens your sense making colors look brighter and sounds sound more vivid
>it gives you insights
>it makes you live in the present moment, since you are not ruminating the past or thinking about the future
>it reduces anxiety

And if you want to make it more meaningful, I advise practicing Buddhist teachings, even if you don't indetify as a Buddhist (that's irrelevant). You can still continue being a Christian and still follow Buddha's teachings for a happier and sober life.

I speak from experience. I've been meditating for 5 months almost everyday and now I'm starting to reap the fruits of my efforts. If I could dedicate my life 100% to spirituality and become a monk, I would, but where I live there's barely any monasteries. I don't mind though. I'm happy. I could be happy anywhere as long as I could practice meditation and the teachings of the great Buddha.

Just do it. Do it today or tonight. If silence is a problem, put on a whine noise sound on your headphones (I do that). Do it for 20 minutes. If it's too hard for you, reduce it to 10, but no less. You first session is always special. You will get out of there thinking: "what the hell, this shit really works".

Good luck, guys!

They probably can kill you, but it would be a miserable way to die.
An OD on any of these meds is going to be death by kidney failure. Maybe liver failure first.

Both are painful and inconsistent ways to die. Especially since none of these medicines offer any kind of analgesic effect.

Any wizard looking for an effective and relatively painless way to die, I would recommend trains.
Head ON the track, at least 40 mph, preferably in a remote area at night.
Research the schedules of freight trains, look up local maps of tracks.
Quick, guaranteed, and most companies offer all kinds of goodies for the conductors who go through your death.

You just have to listen to the train's horn. It doubles as a good final measure of your commitment.
Honestly, there is no better method.

Let me do some math.

Most nights are 10 shots of Everclear and 10 shots of a liqueur. 1 shot to 1.5 ounce.
That's 15 + (15 x 0.25) Which is 15 + 3.75.
It all comes out to roughly 20 ounces of ethanol a night. I start mixing them stronger after I get loosened up.


I know it's all so miserable, but at least I can't feel it. Consequences, repercussions, the pain of a near-lethal dose.
It's just static at that point.

I won't say it feels good. But at least it doesn't hurt.
That's the most important part.
Not even the hangover. I learned how to get around those. I'm really good at avoiding pain. I wish that could be a marketable skill. I'd be just filthy rich if it was.

I was about to write that you don't need meditation in the other thread, that it's a moronic, misguided, idolistic practice. But it's the only tool for most people to realize you have no ego. (Even so, it doesn't seem to be an aim or the end goal of meditation of most. It seems like a mini cult)
Without an ego, you can offer them certain offers which potentially are not benefitial for you (like fucking them up physically). Then depending on situation it's either deescalated, or they chicken out, or it's escalated and they realize you can stand for yourself, or it's escalated and you end up dead / in prison.

A person without an ego doesn't fear defeat, death, or prison.
Obviously he still has his attachments.
So it's usually preferable to handle that in a smart way. But having an image of a complete nutcase can also yield good results.

When you have that shit sorted out, one might find oneself to be a side kind of person, one less included in common affairs. For me it's a nice bonus. I can do my shit while they do theirs.

Do any of you play Go/Weiqi/Baduk? It feels certainly like a game one with a lot of time can devoted themselves to. Other interesting games like shogi or chess? It's certainly somewhat difficult to self teach and a teacher would help but it is what it is.

Few years ago. Watched a anime about it and got curious. Learned a bit more about the rules and basic strategy then played online a bit. Found it kind of boring and full games tedious so just stopped.

At this point I am pretty sure I forgot all the strategies I learned and most of the rules.
Also never played once in real life or even knew another person in real life who knew how to play it.
With chess it was mainly a way of bonding between my father and me, so it will always have that connection even though I have fallen out with the game. But with Go there is zero connection for me in my personal life. No strong memories.

anyone here into studying carl jung by any chance? there is a lot i find fascinating about him but what impressed me the most is that he condensed his mental health strategy into a single word: integtation. implied in this is that each person has unconscious parts and by making those unconscious parts conscious, they no longer sabotage.

to me this is amazing and ballsey. i image most other mental health practitioners would not give you a one word answer to the question of how to have a healthy mind. i image they'd say that this is impossible to answer and that it depends and that an expert is needed.

There is no general rule because it depends on individuals. Things like ethnicity, culture, familial background impacts the specifics. As an actual technique the most effective one is active imagination.

The essential thing is just having those situations where you can encounter the unconscious content so you can actually engage with it and come into proper relation with it. Historically this would have been through things like local folk practices and religious rituals, and cultural practices generally. Jung's idea is that the human psyche has things which express those ethnic/religious ideas (archetypes) and that because we are alienated from the traditional means there isn't actually a great vehicle for doing it. He attempts to provide a way for people to do it on their own stuff like:
>Oh well she's trying to find herself and integrate her shadow of course! If the said husband is hurt by this then well, he's got an unexplored and neglected anima!
Largely comes from people trying to simplify it or make it accessible, ultimately you are the only one who can ensure your relation to those complexes is harmonious. There are many ways it can go wrong, inflation because you identify with the unconcious or collective conciousness. Possession by the archetype and having your ego sort of shadowed over by it. Projecting it onto things around you (the most obvious thing for this is succubi liking abusive/domineering men because that's a vehicle for animus projection, and men liking attention whore succubi because they are a vehicle for anima projection)
The opposite is also the case, the butch dyke identifying with her animus, or the fag/tranny identifying with their anima.

The whole idea is these things are at work in us anyway and by getting a clearer relationship with it rather then it just harvesting your energy you can have a proper relationship with it and see how it effects you.

A very simple practical thing can kind of be seen through the popularization of jung through the psychological type stuff.

>I mean, conceptually it seems logical, but like all if this psychology shit, it falls apart in practice.

you could have taken responsibility and said "i don't know how" but instead you have chosen to make it a theater production and the more unconscious you are, the more you feel the urge to frame reality in terms that would imply that you can not be at fault for it. that immediately jumped at me. even on a somewhat anonymous website you don't feel comfortable being vulnerable. the voice in your head that said "wait no, lets write it in a way where it doesn't sound like i did something wrong!" i believe to be your unconscious.

>How do you "integrate" your subconscious, your shadow, become an "individual"? Jung never really made that super clear, it all vague wishy washy shit that can map unto anything.

-_- well it's a process that takes time, effort and present-mindedness. you keep learning about it, fiding out new details, wondering how it could make sense. you try to find out what the part that takes control of you is trying to tell you. you are asking for a pill, for a code that you just have to execute, you are asking for someone to do the thinking for you instead of walking as far and as fast as your own thoughts can carry you.

there is something inside you, heavily suppressed by education, normality, culture, fear and all kinds of other social mechanisms of violence and you are trying to find out what it tries to tell you. one way the the subconscious tries to communicate with you is through dreams so one part of it is to make a dream journal. i use a simple open source notepad app on the phone were i just have to write the end of the filename and hit a button and it is saved in a folder of my choice.

>Why is the succubus cheating on her husband? Oh well she's trying to find herself and integrate her shadow of course! If the said husband is hurt by this then well, he's got an unexplored and neglected anima!

A slightly unusual hobby for a wizardly man, but I've always had an attraction to it.

What I like about it is the extremely large variety of tricks that can be learned. It's like the Path of Exile skill tree in the sense you can pick a direction and learn that way. You can build up your foundations, or you can go the straight and narrow all the way to learning your favorite trick. The large variety of tricks also mean there are a ton of easier ones to learn, and learning these tricks provides such a strong feeling of accomplishment.

Cruising is very nice too, I intent to get a bigger old school board with soft(?) wheels for nice and easy transport.

The art on skateboards is also quite nice, there's something for everyone. Also you can buy blanks and draw on it yourself. I think the level of creativity in all aspects of this hobby is so amazing.

All things skating related welcomed, I'll try my best to answer with great care to everyone.

Thank you for participating

Martial arts only seems to improve very specific movements which I guess requires a fight in the first place. Maybe higher level techniques will grant similar benefits to skating, but skating day 1 is improving your fundamental balance which is such a great skill. My mother needs it, she is short and overweight and leans forward when she walks like an anime character, this leads to her falling over once a month or so. She gets seriously injured and I freak the fuck out on her for it. She doesn't learn. Sorry tangent.

Goodness I'm so sorry to hear about that. Is there a particular reason people are so awful there? General culture issue, bad area of the country?

>She gets seriously injured and I freak the fuck out on her for it. She doesn't learn. Sorry tangent.

you can teach her by holding both her hands while she tries to balance on the skateboard and pushes and rides. you just walk along holding her hands that way when she falls, she can either catch herself or you can make her land so slowly that there is no injury. i did this with my father.

another thing that i did also works: i threaded a rope through his belt loops so that i can walk behind him holding the rope, that way he can use his arms for balance while i hold him close so when he falls i can decelerate his fall by just pulling the rope backwards.

>Goodness I'm so sorry to hear about that. Is there a particular reason people are so awful there?

when you can do something that is difficult and impressive in public, people have a wide range of needy nonconsensual behaviors that they feel a compulsion to exhibit. they want to meet, they want to stare, they want to ask questions, they want to get to know you, they want to impress you back, they want to have sex, even gay sex, they want to create monetized internet content, sometimes as hidden camera content from in the bushes, they want to follow you home because they want to know where you live, they want, they want, they want.

>that youth gangs will harrass you etc.. Hard to catch a break in this modern world.

i have not encountered many youth gangs here, where i live the young people are drowned in artificial problems and are carefully kept depressed by the compulsory education system. young people who aren't camera-assholes usually don't mess with me, they are too busy recovering from being traumatized.

>Wonderful I wish you the best and a healthy life, perhaps I should be more healthy.

i did it over the course of ~8 years, lots of experimentation with what to eat and what else to keep this body in peak condition. i would try to live a certain way and then go back to my previous lifestyle for the most part and forget how much better i felt. i was missing a good way to deal with information in this overwhelming state of infinite information, which i have recently found.

Oh my mother is basically disabled, she could never ride a skateboard. If she falls she will likely break bones due to her weight and 25+ years of being on a medication that weakens her bones (long story).

Ah I see. The typical jealous normie. When I was a kid/teen I got the same treatment, they would run in my way, throw balls at me to try and make me fall. It's all a gimic to provoke me which gives them an excuse to attack me 5v1 or even get their parents involved. Fucking savages. I haven't experienced much of that now but laregly due to local parks being a lot more of a ghost town compared to 15~25 years ago. I'm sure in the main cities it would be worse.

Have you noticed how much more important it is to eat healthy now we are older? I'm only 29 and I feel like shit most of the time. Had some very painful issues that scared me but a better diet fixed those. Pain in abdomen was killing me. Still need to cut out all the beer and junk food :p very dumb of me to consume so much of it.

my father bought one piece of exercise equipment used, an elyptical machine. he uses is every morning for 5-10 minutes until he sweats and it has ben a difference of night and day for him. the human body needs exercise regardless of age, find a way go get your mother to exercise if you want her to be around for a few more years, it's up to you!

yes! i was exactly your age when i finally realized. i wish i knew sooner. this was 10 years ago. when i was 29 i would gently dial down all the unhealthy stuff. and eat sandwiches that i put a boatload of cucumber, bellpepper and every other vegetable i could stand on. then when i hit 30 i switched to mostly eating fruit. you can tell by comparing me to the people my age who eat junk, i am a different species because of this.

you are well on your way to finding out how to survive as a prey animal. i just got better at anticipating where they are at what time, being ready to avoid them before they even made their first chess move. for example i can go anywhere around 9:00, at 16:00 i wouldn't go to the supermarket, supermarket is best at 7:30.

I've never considered it - maybe I've never been low enough even though I walk around thinking "I should kill myself. I should kill myself." on repeat. My life is still largely tolerable despite being completely empty and greyscale and meaningless so I've never actually made any plans.

There's absolutely nothing appealing to me about calling up some stranger who's only obligated to help because that's their contextualized role. The main reason I want to kill myself is precisely because of how instanced and contextualized and transient everything feels. It's all just vapid transactional junk.

After hitting 30 this feeling has been eating me and I don't know how to resolve it. I started watching different youtube channels and it made me realize how much time I wasted staring at a screen when I could be experiencing the world and creating things. The 21st century offers so many possibilities and yet all I did was sit at home play video games and read inane garbage online. Now I always had depression, anxiety, social autism, adhd, average iq etc. that lead to me being an underachiever but nowadays it feels like I was just the right self-help book and meds/supplement combination and some effort away from solving all these issues.

I could start now but after hitting 30 I feel this sense of hopelessness after experiencing aging. I felt like shit in my 20s but now I realize I actually felt good. Now I tire easily and years of sitting made my body feel rusty. I feel like the youth shield is gone and I can't take the future for granted anymore and expect it to make it even to 40. Every time I experience a new pain or sensation I imagine it to be the start of something serious.

How do you deal with this? It feels like modern technology amplifies winners so if you are a loser it feels extra bad because there is such a big contrast between living with your parents and riding the bus and eating mac and cheese and living in a multi-million dollar mansion with a beautiful view and driving a ferrari and eating at 3 star restauraunts.

I have a similar issue to OP, but still have a little less than a decade until I become a full fledged wizard.
Everyday is a battle of a swinging pendulum: brain fog and emptiness, or desperation and overwhelming ambition. Right now I am in the ambitious phase and want to lockdown a 'big boy' job before I turn 30, though it is demoralizing that the people who are my age and used to talk to me are now finishing university and getting internships or even getting engaged - it makes me feel like a confused old man in the body of a young one.

I've accepted that I might actually have adhd that fills my head with noise that makes me forget what I was just thinking about or doing, but there has to be something else that has absolutely fucked me over and led me to the bad route.

How do I push myself one last time to secure a decent job or my own place before I am done.

I think the physical war games depends on the certain rulesets and how seriously people take them. From what I've heard there's often a couple books and a judge involved in serious matches. Seems very confusing. I just like to collect and paint - though struggle to find motivation. I will encounter one hiccup building a model and mess it up slightly, which kills my enthusiasm to build more. Especially for the more expensive stuff. If one regular 10 piece soldier gives me grief, how will I build those 100~200 piece flagship models? It's very overwhelming

I remember reading this book together with the Hagakure when I was a teenager and going through that classic samurai phase. I guess I was hoping for some life advice, but instead I got a pretty straightforward manual on swordsmanship. There's some good (but basic) advice on things like footwork, etc. more than there is advice on life in that book.
And don't even get me started on the Hagakure. I was hoping it was going to be the Japanese equivalent of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (although I cam to dislike that book too) and instead I got a bunch of nonsense about the extremely contrived social etiquette of 17th century Japan written by a bureaucrat LARPing as a samurai.
