The latest internet spiritualism fads seem to be so invested in a no-rules type of spirituality that is ultimately very solipsistic. I think it's a result of our late capitalist isolation - some people want to push back against it but others fully embrace it. The idea that you can create a whole different reality based solely on your OWN decisions where other people are essentially just objects in your new reality while you maintain subjectivity is very solipsistic. 21st century cults are reflective of our new stay-at-home reality - why go to the compound with the rest of your Brothers and Sisters? Stay at home, microdose mushrooms and colloidal silver, and have your cult delivered to you over the Internet!

    I can’t even dunk on shit like this it just makes me sad. I so understand just wanting to be in another world and hoping beyond hope that you’ll just one day wake up where it’s better and not hell world

    Reminds me of this subreddit I came across once called /r/twinflames. As far as I can tell it's like the concept of a "soul mate." I was introduced to it by a user posting about how their life sucks because their "partner" or something (I can't remember what word they used) won't spend time with them. And everyone was like "dude this person wants nothing to do with you leave them alone" and I checked their post history and it was full of this twin flames stuff where they had convinced themselves they had some kind of supernatural connection with some random person who literally did not even want to be friends with them. After a little bit of pushback from people outside that sub they deleted their entire account. Probably made another one and just hang around in the creepy echo chamber after that.

    (Oh god one of the top posts right now mentions shifting, there's a connection scared seriously though this stuff is freaky)

    Twin Flame is literally a cult run by some creepy ex-tech bro and his wife. They literally arrange marriages for people and if they marriages don't work out they tell them it's due to some "spiritual failing". Netflix just did a documentary about them.

    Believe it or not it also happens whenever you jerk off. Your alternate reality version jerked off to something much less disgusting.

    shifting is moving your consciousness from one reality, the one your currently in, to a reality that you want to be in.

    Manifest destiny.

    I'm reading their FAQ and it's pretty crank. The thing I've noticed is that everyone has a desired reality (DR) but since it's extraordinarily unlikely that people will share the same DR due to differences in what they consciously and subconsciously desire, the vast majority of DR would be populated by clones with only the shifter as the "real" conscious agent, which is pretty depressing. Almost nothing that happens in the DR transfers over to current reality (CR), which makes the DR pretty pointless outside of experiencing a particular psychedelic experience or, as I suspect, as a form of escapism and coping in a harsh reality. Something bad happens in CR, you shift to your DR as your clone in CR eats shit, and you shift back to CR after the dust has settled.

    sorry if this is against the rules but what is this community for? i don’t know what a chapo, vaush, or nautilism means, the sidebar isn’t much help either.

    This comm is mostly used for stuff that doesn't fit into other comms and shitposting. Hexbear was originally called chapo.chat because it was founded by refugees from when Reddit banned the chapotraphouse sub, which is where this comm gets its name

    Vaush is a really shitty politics and debate streamer. Anti-natalism is the idea that it is immoral to have children.

    ChapoTrapHouse is a fan community for the Citations Needed podcast. Vaush is an internet personality who lobbies NATO to let him fuck children. Natulism is a 28 year old thoroughbred racing horse from Australia that had 10 wins across 53 races, winning a combined half a million australian dollareedoos.

    I'm very fond of the many-worlds interpretation of QM, but boy has it caused a lot of dumb shit.

    I can imagine this concept leading a subset of neurodivergent people down some very fucked up thought spirals

    What if you could reality shift but you had to shit your pants in public to do so. When you enter the new reality you are back in public with even more shit in your pants

    How often do you shift?

    Shifting to infinite realities every nanosecond that there is because I could be choosing to move my digits and limbs .0001 degrees in any other direction than the directions I'm choosing
