    I wouldn’t really call ‘hobbled on a bathroom floor’, ‘naked and wet’, and ‘vomiting into a toilet’, “Zen”

      Fully disconnected from the other. Focused purely on survival.

      What your name is, who you love, what time it is, where you need to be today, none of it matters. None of it enters your mind.

      Raw unfiltered reality.

      The only thought is, “PLEASE DON’T PUKE SO HARD I SHIT MYSELF!!!”

      Didn’t some native Americans have vision quests that were basically putting the body into a state of exhaustion, starvation, and dehydration?

        tldr of my deleted ramblings:


        science is good. organized is religion bad and authoritarian.

        however: humans develop closer relationships via religion.

        can there be democratic forms of spirituality? would require self-awareness.


        damn i guess i’m still high. also there are no gods.
