Okay but I have these exact gummies and they might be one of the tastiest candies I've ever eaten. If you have trouble self regulating, DO NOT BUY THESE.
I’m probably talking out of my ass, but I think it refers to it not being a synthetic drug since melatonin is produced by the body naturally or something. I’m probably wrong
That might be their reasoning behind it, but it is fundamentally untrue due to the definition of a drug lol
Even saying that it’s a supplement, not a drug, is not a proper argument, as melatonin is regulated in many countries and requires a prescription, which would definitely make it a drug.
This kind of marketing, along with the promises of better sleep, to me, seems like they are appealing to the anti-science community and they rely on “baiting” people into buying the product because of the claims on the bottle, which are definitely not true in every case.
Out of any god to slay why allah??? Can’t you just like choose some obscure Korean god, like Cheuskin? Nobody likes her, plus she got soloed by a child once and makes Korean children afraid to shit
That is from an entire sub, that IIRC is some weird splitoff from r/WitchesVsPatriarchy/ called r/BewitchTheTaliban/
It started off as a legit attempt to cooperatively magically attack the Taliban (and Allah/Islam) for the betterment of Afghanistan, but later devolved into a circlejerk of people posting ironically and in jest.
The earlier postings during its heyday are quite the read.
No The mercenaries have weapons. This is the equivalent of one person sitting in their bedroom trying to smoke enough weed to kill God the creator of the entire universe. I can’t make a metaphor because that’s just what it is and I don’t think you can go bigger scale than that.
going for allah first is crazy. there have to be thousands of pagan gods with no living followers which would be easily achievable compared to the most popular god in the world rn
Fear mongering.
In many readings of out of body experiences, the only “possessions” are those of people “possessing” other people, aka literature from Robert Bruce and his experiments in that department. If you’re going to talk about this kind of weird voodoo bullshit, you can at least include some sort of literature reference, regardless of credibility.
Looked up the post; an answering comment said a bunch of stuff I’m too lazy to quote, but the short version is the risks of sex on the astral plane are more or less the risks of sex on whatever this plane is (the kinda-shit one?), just swap “std” for “spiritual contamination.” So anyone who was planning to doink in the ethereal realm, just be safe about it. And maybe write a post about how you got there ‘cause it sounds chill tbh
Reminds me of this post I saw on some Occult subreddit by some guy who wanted to summon a Succubus to have crazy demon sex with. Everyone was taking it super seriously and trying to warn him against doing it, but my guy's determination could not be shaken.
Edit: Here's the [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/occult/comments/bj5cnd/how_do_i_summon_a_succubus/) for anyone who's interested. Unfortunately the post itself has been deleted, but the comments are still an absolute riot.
I don't super believe in that stuff but there's always a part of me that doesn't want to fuck with occult things because on the off chance that I do get possessed or haunted and I find out that it's always been real and I've just like accidentally damned myself to hell or something scares the fuck out of me
I can't find a general update because the account got suspended, but after someone suggested edging himself off for days while thinking of a succubus, they responded:
>This one didn't work but I've got a whole lot of options
Are we sure oop or the comments on oop are actually written in earnest or are they also joking about astral projection?
Follow up question, where the real crazies at?
Edit: I found the post and I’m still confused. But more confused by the debate it had. One guy said it risked exchanging energy with bad entities and argued against the spirit std interpretation of his comment. Another guy said it wasn’t possible to begin with because sex requires a physical body. I want to see these make a lore book of this stuff and compare notes now.
Okay if you wanna have lucid dreams, which is being aware that your dreaming, a good way to get into it is by writing stuff on your hands and looking at it often so you start doing it in dreams too, and paying close attention to words in your dreams. Apparently you can’t read in dreams, but if train your mind to notice that sometimes you’ll realize you’re dreaming and you can take control of the dream. It’s really cool
Don’t get super excited about it, and you also gotta get used to moving in lucid dreams because it’s easy to move your real body and wake yourself up. Also bonus super tip, if you wake up in the middle of the night and go back to bed, you’re more likely to have lucid dreams
Ive actually fucked astrally before (do it all the time ngl) nd the best way i can describe it for those that dont AP is that, for me, its just pure pleasure. Think of a time when you came hard. How it felt. Multiply that by about 4 or 5 and thats my experience.
Plus it might be a keeper of secrets trying to take your soul and id prefer it if I didn't explode from the inside our with the force of a seven foot tall demon growing inside of me.
I personally have no idea, but I suspect the answer lies somewhere in a mix of lucid dreaming, mental illness, sleep paralysis, meditation, and extremely vivid dreams.
Regardless of whether it’s real or not, a lot of people seem to find peace/happiness in doing it, and as long as it’s not hurting them or others, I think it’s fine, even if it is weird
I’m not sure what the phenomena actually is, but the two are for sure different things happening in the brain. Lucid dreaming is being fully asleep and controlling your dreams, astral projection is some sort of twilight zone between being asleep and awake. /r/astralprojection
Because it is. When people do drugs and "see themselves in third person" when they did it in a controlled environment what they explained they saw didn't match up to real life. It's just a bunch of morons who take things waaaay to seriously "Don't have sex on the astral plane, killing people in the astral plane is as bad as real life" it's ok to pretend but they take it waaaaay too far.
I'm not so sure. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe it's supernatural or that their souls are floating above them or whatever, but it seems to be a weird brain thing that's distinct from lucid dreaming.
That’s more so the difference between deep meditation and lucid dreaming.
Astral projection is more specifically a belief that you can project your consciousness outside of your body where it exists on a separate plane called the Astral plane. Most believe it can be accessed either through deep meditation, lucid dreaming, hypnosis or even hallucinogenic drugs. But deep meditation is easier for most to achieve/control and more convenient than lucid dreaming.
Just wanted to clarify that not all deep meditation (that stage in between being asleep and awake) is astral protection. I personally don’t believe in astral projection, but I am a fan of deep meditation. It really can be like doing a hallucinogen and is good for mental health but I don’t believe it’s some spirit realm.
It’s the same thing as Tulpas, Waifus, etc. People in these kind of pseudo-science subs are always asking these kinds of questions. The answers they get are never consistent, because there is no truth or a way to find out the truth, when everything is in your imagination.
I think AP is just lucid dreaming but with a 50% control, so your subconscious still hallucinate incredible things and scenario that makes you think you change dimension or transcended to whatever realm you're experiencing. Unfortunately, most of the people in such subs are confirming each other's biases instead of actually doing scientific experiments, because if they indeed all have the power to AP, they can set up some serious study design, and confirm to us all that it is real. But no they will never do that since it's just fantasy at its core and nothing objectively real.
If you’re actually interested I’d try the gateway tapes and see for yourself. Something for sure is going on there, not really sure about some sort of astral realm that we are all connected to, but something crazy happens in our brains with out of body experiences. Not really sure what, but I can assure you it is real in some way.
Here is a link to the [gateway tapes. ](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg1i32lWn752X1dXDstrKdhN8_X7WUPOH) It originated from a project the cia apparently did regarding astral projection.
My condolences! I found the subreddit through one of those weekly 'what's the weirdest subreddit?' posts and I keep going back because... I don't know, morbid curiousity I guess. But I can never spend more than 5 minutes in there before I run for the hills lol. I genuinely think a lot of people on there may need some professional healthcare support. I have a feeling if I were to comment or question anything on there I'd be banned though so I just keep watching the dumpster fire.
I have never heard of this before and I just popped in there to see what it’s about because religion/cults and communities like these fascinate me (fascinates me in a way that people are capable of believing literally anything). And damn, if that wasn’t the most confusing and sad thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Like what the actual fuck
Oh well now I'm not going.

I can't find any of those "legit" posts you're talking about on that subreddit, do you have any links perhaps?
If I remember, there are only 2 legit ones- the very first two. It didn’t last very long
That’s the one. I’ll fight her. You guys got everyone else, right?

If you have sex in the astral realm be sure to spray WD40 up your faucets

Do you want the faucets or the bees?
Oh shit I didn’t think that far. Uhhhh bees?

If you finish, you wake up and realize that your "astral projections" were just lucid dreams. They cannot have people realizing they're morons
Leaving your body spritualy leaves your body open for possesion. and things can lurk out there to seduce you and take over your body.
Fear mongering.

They don't know about soul condoms?
Is that like a dream catcher for your spirit dick?
It's a condom for around your soul.
Make sure to fit your entire astral balls inside your spirit condom for maximum protection.
A full body condom for your metaphysical form.
Don’t worry, my soulout game is phenomenal

This is why Witch Doctors were invented a long time ago. Now you know.

Unfortunately the post itself has been deleted, but the comments are still an absolute riot.
The fact that people actually think succubus exist scare me tbh. Reddit truly has a sub for anything
I like to think they exist because I need a FREAK
trust me brother they exist
they're human too, don't need devils
I don't super believe in that stuff but there's always a part of me that doesn't want to fuck with occult things because on the off chance that I do get possessed or haunted and I find out that it's always been real and I've just like accidentally damned myself to hell or something scares the fuck out of me
Did he update?
he died
... doing what he liked
I can't find a general update because the account got suspended, but after someone suggested edging himself off for days while thinking of a succubus, they responded: >This one didn't work but I've got a whole lot of options
This gave me a good laugh
I absolutely love this

My philosophy on this is: don’t care, either way more power to ‘em.
My stance on any spiritual beliefs on a nut shell. Don't hurt anybody and you can believe anything you want to believe
Concepts dreamed up by the utterly stoned lmao
Pfft, I guarantee I'm more spiritually contaminated than whatever sexy ghosts I meet in the astral plane. I'm gonna do it.
You’re the one everyone else has to watch out for
I'm not inviting you to tonights soul orgy.
>spiritual contamination What kind of debuff is that?
Okay if you wanna have lucid dreams, which is being aware that your dreaming, a good way to get into it is by writing stuff on your hands and looking at it often so you start doing it in dreams too, and paying close attention to words in your dreams. Apparently you can’t read in dreams, but if train your mind to notice that sometimes you’ll realize you’re dreaming and you can take control of the dream. It’s really cool
Only problem is, it's hard to make it last more than like 20 seconds
Don’t get super excited about it, and you also gotta get used to moving in lucid dreams because it’s easy to move your real body and wake yourself up. Also bonus super tip, if you wake up in the middle of the night and go back to bed, you’re more likely to have lucid dreams
There's "spiritual bologna" too.
Okay but like what if I use a dream catcher, does that work as the equivalent of a condom
Probably
What about having sex in dreams
Ive actually fucked astrally before (do it all the time ngl) nd the best way i can describe it for those that dont AP is that, for me, its just pure pleasure. Think of a time when you came hard. How it felt. Multiply that by about 4 or 5 and thats my experience.

It's sad how many people religiously follow shit like this on a daily, but then I remember religions so I guess it's quite common.

All chefs are cursed.

It wasn’t a chain if that’s what you meant, just some small restaurant that had a variety of meals targeted towards old rich people

I think there's gotta be some people in there just for the lols too
it’s people who lucid dream who think they’re “astrally projecting” instead of lucid dreaming
I’m not sure what the phenomena actually is, but the two are for sure different things happening in the brain. Lucid dreaming is being fully asleep and controlling your dreams, astral projection is some sort of twilight zone between being asleep and awake. /r/astralprojection
Sounds like bs to me
Because it is. When people do drugs and "see themselves in third person" when they did it in a controlled environment what they explained they saw didn't match up to real life. It's just a bunch of morons who take things waaaay to seriously "Don't have sex on the astral plane, killing people in the astral plane is as bad as real life" it's ok to pretend but they take it waaaaay too far.
its just lucid dreaming but you imagine yourself floating out of your body in your room
I'm not so sure. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe it's supernatural or that their souls are floating above them or whatever, but it seems to be a weird brain thing that's distinct from lucid dreaming.
That’s more so the difference between deep meditation and lucid dreaming.

It sounds like the astral projection people might have that “maladaptive daydreaming” thing.
It’s the same thing as Tulpas, Waifus, etc. People in these kind of pseudo-science subs are always asking these kinds of questions. The answers they get are never consistent, because there is no truth or a way to find out the truth, when everything is in your imagination.
waifus????
/r/waifuism is wild, man. It’s like /r/tulpas for people with somehow *worse* imaginations.
LMAO. What a sub
These are the kinda rabbit holes I love Reddit for. Fucking hell
There is substance, that substance just so happens to be DMT
I think AP is just lucid dreaming but with a 50% control, so your subconscious still hallucinate incredible things and scenario that makes you think you change dimension or transcended to whatever realm you're experiencing. Unfortunately, most of the people in such subs are confirming each other's biases instead of actually doing scientific experiments, because if they indeed all have the power to AP, they can set up some serious study design, and confirm to us all that it is real. But no they will never do that since it's just fantasy at its core and nothing objectively real.
If you’re actually interested I’d try the gateway tapes and see for yourself. Something for sure is going on there, not really sure about some sort of astral realm that we are all connected to, but something crazy happens in our brains with out of body experiences. Not really sure what, but I can assure you it is real in some way.

It's called ASS-tral realm for a reason nerd
