> Taking drugs won't make a difference to someone with this mindset, which is why I never bothered, reality will still be the same when you return to it after your 'trip'.
Reality is what your brain makes it, psychedelics can change your brain, reality is changed afterwards. Maybe not to the extent that you desire, but saying things like this as a rule are without tact. In reality, you personally have not broken through on a trip, towards the realization that would alleviate your suffering. The fixation on “hallucinations” is completely irrelevant. psychedelics aren’t necessary in order to come to these understandings, but they do change the physical make up of the brain and reroute pathways. Buddhists and taoists figured everything out already sitting with their eyes closed a thousand years ago. The obsession with hallucinations is no different than obsession with symbols in the occult or the preoccupation with escapism, but at the least these compounds have a measured effect on parts of the brain associated with alleviating this suffering. I had the same mindset and I overcame it, it’s a pointless ego trip.

>'Im an occultist'
I'm not an occultist, I haven't started yet, nor would I consider myself an occultist until I've completely an 'observable feat'. Too many people claim the label of being an 'occultist' without testing to see if they are just experiencing delusions or schizophrenia.

Maybe none of this is real and it's all fake, I'm going to test thoroughly to find out, I'm not going to just believe what I 'feel' or 'see in a vision' or anything like that. If I can't to something in the 'physical reality' that I can observe and retest, I won't consider 'magic' to be real.

>take it from someone who studied the occult knowledge and knows a shit or two about this world and is more intelligent of you and op

Unless you've done any observable and repeatable feats of your own, you are just talking out of your ass.

Now if you want to say that none of this 'magic stuff' is real that's another issue, but it seems like you are saying it is real and all you've done is 'study', the question is what have you practiced?, what have you actually done to test your knowledge?.

>get studying the occult and the truth will find you
I don't need someone like you to tell me to do what I already plan on doing. Your either of 'studying the occult' is probably different to mines, if you aren't doing any actual tests I wouldn't call it studying at all.


>Reality is what your brain makes it
No it isn't, reality is reality. I'm sure there are people who have jumped off the top of tall buildings when they were high because they thought they could fly, guess what, they're dead now.

Reality is reality, your brain is the tool you use to interpret reality, and drugs alter how your brain interprets reality, but reality itself still exists without the observer.

Your perspective is as ridiculous as saying everyone around you dies and ceases to exist the moment your brain dies.

Don't tell me you are one of those solipsism retards? lol

>reality is reality
You’re thinking too literally on the statement “reality is what you make it” and don’t understand my “perspective” clearly. Yes you observe reality, but you also contribute to it. Not sure how this isn’t apparent. You aren’t able to observe reality without your mind nor define it as “reality” without interpretation which involves the mind, solipsism or your delineation is pointless. 
The only thing that matters is your reaction to what the mind interprets. It’s a two-way street. your reaction is the only thing that matters in the grand scheme, life is what you make of it, your reaction to existence. Your outlook is why you sink into obsessions. It is what it is, so why do you care about anything? Reality is reality, so why be bothered by anything at all? If you had a perspective more in tune with the flow of reality there wouldn’t be any qualms or obsession with the occult. The point of psychedelics is their predisposition to dissipate these issues, change outlook which changes reactions. you’re not getting it generally and considering your resistance you probably wouldn’t get anything out of them anyways, it doesn’t matter. Just go meditate in a cave, eat well, stop using the internet to energize the argumentative ego with memetic mindviruses and maybe you’ll feel content being human. Less is more. Read the Tao te Ching.

Give up on reality in a way that appeals to my sensibilities. (The Irony).

I agree with the observations, but they are just observations. None of that contradicts my point. I’ve lived through destitute conditions and trauma most of my life. My life is still not worse than many others and yet those worse off find meaning and happiness. They didn’t reality warp themselves into rich kings, they had come to their own understandings about life. Suffering is born from desire. The struggle of the ego is universal. 

I’m offering a simple alternative, no need to be reactionary. Try your own for your issues, if using 4chan gives you a deeper appreciation for life rather than meditation then good for you. Closing your eyes requires less though.

Nobody is talking about using 4chan here, and aren't you also using 4chan right now?
