wes, that book (fight club) is about realizing that your life is not ruled by physical possessions. i think you inadvertently proved huff's point.

for example:

"Where you are now you can't even imagine what the bottom will look like
Only after disaster can we be resurrected
Its only after you have lost everything that you are free to do anything"

he's talking about letting go of everything that we've been told we need to "collect" throughout our lives to justify our existence here.

"I say you have to give up
I say evolve"


werd.

A story is not one-sided.
A story has duality. There's two sides to every story.
Which brings to mind the phrase "necessary evil".
I know many of you hear that phrase and say,
"That don't even make no sense to me.
"Can't be no such thing as necessary - how's evil necessary?
"That don't match. That's plaids and stripes, evil and necessary."
You see, because without bad, there is no good.
Without light, there is no dark, you need both these things.
You hear what I'm saying?
If every day is a sunny day, well, then, what's a sunny day?

[quote="dhuff"] . I know this plane exists. I've personally been there and my two friends verified that it was not just a delusion from the hallucinogens we had been taking.

Did anyone else find this as funny as i did?

dhuff in the anti-vaccine thread wrote:Wes, I'd be ok with you calling me a 'fucking idiot' if only it wasn't true that the science czar, John Holdren, co-authored a book called "Ecoscience" in 1973 in which he says that an effective form of population control is putting sterilizing agents in the water supply, staple foods, and mass vaccines. Do some research before you decide to break out the insults, man, that's just not cool.
So, John Holdren was 29 when participated in "Ecoscience". My guess is his views today as a 69 year old are quite different than the 29 year old who hadn't really experienced the world yet.

The question is... in 40 years when you have moved on in life, hopefully to be very sucessful in some field, will you be psyched when someone posts a link back to this nonsense that you wrote?

The chemical reaction in your brain while you are tripping is merely that.

so is the feeling of love, hate, anger, that feeling when you send, the contenment of being successful in life and on and on...our lives are made up of chemical reactions. what's your point?

My point is that there is no reason to read more into it than that. Just as with "love, hate, anger, that feeling when you send, the contenment of being successful in life and on and on".

Personally, I think perving this thread has made it less likely for me to make any sort of dramatic existential progress today.

Thanks for trying though everybody.

I didn't even notice this the first time through. So your friends who were also on hallucinogens verified that you had transcended into the 4th dimension and it wasn't due to the hallucinogens you were on at the time? Interesting.....
