>why life (is? Or mabye?) bleak and meaningless
I was about to write something personal that sound negative but I love this place too much to share my stupid problems and cause negative feelings by a text to others. I recommend you to live the human experience because I think I lost it or I am losing it even with so much effort of me to not keep at this shit way of my life.
>what the deal?
I have an impossible problem to deal with.
I can't kill the Buddha on the way, I can't see him and I can't talk to him or change him.
I am lost.

You know, I've had a soft spot for collage. As a kid I was uninspired by newspaper-style collage but transforming a work into unintended meanings tickles my ticklebones, things like YouTube Poop and audio splicing, parody and satire.

But I'd never thought of doing it with stock image collections. It's a prefab comic form just waiting to be explored. We could have a random selection and challenge ourselves to make a story from it.

Anyways brother here is the way. You don't kill the buddha. You smile with him, sit down with him, relax with him and watch it all unfold <3 We're always and never lost

I not OP but I doing Metta + Hypnosis + maybe some Meditation.
RAW do something like this to quit the Chapel Perilous, I think it's helping me.
>Also
Looks like i have aphantasia so i cant visualize anything like a Kabbalah tree, Chakras, Sufi heart or these things... but i can dream sometimes.
>and what changed?
Well, it gives me temporary peace and security, allowing me to forget about loneliness and problems, although it doesn't make me have more friends or be more social or remove my limitations or stop being so avoidant. It's not magic, but it motivates me a little.
I changed some behaviours by hypnosis but its not magick.
>what hypnosis?
CBT self-hypnosis (scientific approach) with Metta for me and others.

Another way for the dream seeker to avoid simply Being is to try to understand or develop clarity about its own nature. It is very easy to get stuck in ‘Advaita’ or ‘non-dual’ concepts. The singular and unrelenting reiteration of such ideas as “all there is is Being", “everything is the expression of Being” or “there is no one” are an arid and simplistic form of communication. It doesn't address or illuminate the dream seeker’s apparent dilemma and it obviously ignores the primary energetic essence of the implicit aliveness of simply Being. To continuously say that being awake or being asleep is not relevant because “Being is all there is” is like telling a blind person that it’s OK to be blind because “seeing is all there is”. This is pure idealism. Of course, there is no such thing as being asleep or being awake, but this is not seen until there is no one looking.

Sometimes, you’ll accidentally almost kill Tom Siddell. This is normal. Recognize it, because that’s the only way you’ll keep it from happening again.

You are almost never truly helpless, and by proxy you are almost never truly blameless. It’s a worldview not everyone is comfortable with, but one I stand by nonetheless.

>r9k garbage
Anon thinks people like having a mindnumbing job?

There's two sides to that shitpost. On one, an unhealthy society pressuring this person into the reproductive sacrifice. And that is a shame, and unfortunate they did it. As if the kids are going to live a good life with a passionless parent.
On the other, a privileged fuck pities themself upon being forced to work in the system that let them freeload for a decade. You think we enjoyed carrying you, your highness? We're your fucking worker drones, aren't we now, your little "NPCs" aren't we?

If you don't like it, then help us overthrow it.

How can people be this un-self-aware?

I turned 30 earlier this year.  Birthdays are always highly melancholic for me, as it simply means that I'm one year older and one year closer to dying.  However, my 30th birthday is one that I've always especially dreaded.  I've always felt like, once I turn 30, I won't be young anymore.  I'm truly an adult, whether I feel like one or not.  But what does it even mean to be an adult anyways?  Quite frankly, I don't want anything to do with what society tells me "adults" are supposed to do.  I don't want to get married or have kids.  I don't want to be a debt slave and work a job that I hate so that I can spend the rest of my life paying rent to a landlord (or paying off a mortgage).  I don't want to partake in the meaningless rat race.  I want something more, but I know that there really is nothing more.  Life is an endless abyss with no purpose that we were all born to slave away and die in.  As I have said before, I really don't know how anyone with a functioning brain can live in this world and not want to kill themselves.

Literally go off the grid and live in the forest eating roots and berries or become an urban nomad scheming and stealing to survive. Impersonate someone else. Join a revolutionary group. If you really mean it, the world is your oyster.

We designed a machine of our own flesh and blood.
Of eight billion cogs.
Each of us care.
But the machine does not.

>Life is an endless abyss with no purpose
It pretty clearly has an end.
>that we were all born to slave away and die in.
that sure sounds like a purpose to me. Seems your philosophy is self-defeating.
>I really don't know how anyone with a functioning brain can live in this world and not want to kill themselves.
So much to do, so much to see, so what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go (go!)

>what does it even mean to be an adult anyways?
It means you clean up your own shit and you're not scared of saying "howdy, neighbor!". It's really not hard. The only downside is that it also means your body slowly falls apart.

>>15465
>join a revolutionary group
Those aren't very easy to join. They're (reasonably) very paranoid about infiltration. That and they're often very grayfaced themselves.

>>15466
Nobody designed shit. They might have deluded themselves into believing they did, they might have ordered a billion bombs dropped and a TV show aired or whatever, but their control is only an illusion both for themselves and for you.

I thought the Discordian mindset and philosophy were absurd and cheerful, but at this post I see Anons sounding defeatist.
>and what about the purpose of life...
I never cared about the meaning of life. Although I am curious and cared about the meaning of MY life is a process and not a locally pure momentum or a unmovable thing of just wake up every day on routine mode and robot job waiting to do fun thing. It's more like a non-locally thing let say Experience and not a thing bacause its my fucking definition of the social threatise, the astrological guy never say a poop about me.
Now I'm learning something about magick and meditation. It doesn't do miracles, but it adds some color to life. That said, my advice is to stay away from drugs, especially if you're not responsible with chim-icals (all popular sex magicians ended up badly, and I don't think it was because they summoned evil spirits and turned insane, but because they used drugs and contracted sexually transmitted diseases and ruined their health with shit hedonist behaviour).
And yes, you can say it's useless hippie garbage, but I learned a few things on how to stay calm. I'm also learning to cook some things, make homemade ice cream, and make paper airplanes and yes i pirated all the damn books. Maybe the meaning of life is absurd or something very simple.
>so for me
For some people, the meaning of life is to achieve Roman immortality and make them a name in history, achieve money or love or family or something more spiritual than material.
For others, it's to break the record for the biggest poop in the toilet.
And for others, it's to go out for ice cream or a hot dog on the weekend while christian mass is being held.
>Just do whatever you want under your own free will and responsibility, extending the free will and responsibility of others, and don't get bored. Live under your own will. That's the whole tart.
That's the Golden rule or something.
Ahh, and, you can play the Sims to torture some humans sometimes, its a fast absurd life simulator and maybe you can learn something with that, the game of life lol
>your time and body is limited, use it wisely.
