/fringe/ - Fringe

I guess I should add some content to the question. I read Neo-platonic works, taoist stuff and the Kybalion and over a slow process I realized my innate beliefs line up with hermeticism most

Nope just realized that no matter the flag I wasn't really going to be any of them. Just gonna be me.

>>100941

>Neo-platonic

mah nigga

How do you reconcile the metaphysics of Neoplatonism with Kyabalion? It seems the metaphysics of the Greek philosophers are all encompassing, and the Kyabalion and hermeticisism seem like derivatives that, at least to me, feel to be lacking in logic

Although the extended ideology is more or less true, if there are gaps in logic why bother with it? To those lacking intuition, I think it is just unnecessary and convoluted. Further refining it is necessary

I thought Chaos magick was some crazy shit "Do as thou wilt" but actually if you look it up it implies a sense of pragmatism and encourages only the most practical understanding

To me it is like deriving Order out of Chaos, though that doesn't mean Chaos is the source of Order…. The eternal source of order; comprehension of this order must be derived from Chaos due to the perspective of our lowly and blind existence

That means you should be using the Special Snowflake flag. A response like this demands that I would normally switch to the smug frog flag to post this :")

>>100971

>That means you should be using the Special Snowflake flag.

except I don't think I'm special. I just try to articulate my thoughts and opinions. I can sit here and say I know shit about different realities and how the universe works but at best I'll have an idea. I wont really comprehend it.

>>100975

>just gonna be me

>A flag representing a person

who believes themself to be unique

if you think just being yourself is any different from every other faggot who is trying to be themselves literally everyone then you actually do think you are special

if you say you have not yet managed to fully comprehend and articulate your thoughts and are in the process of doing so, then you are Neophyte

If you think it's forever impossible to comprehend how the universe works then you are basically Blue Pill but even worse

But nothing you've said so far indicates any alignment with the belief of someone protesting the use of flags, as your current flag indicates. you should probably use the newfig flag if anything, really

>>100979

>A flag representing a person

more like my thoughts and beliefs at this moment.

>who believes themselves to be unique

again not really it just helps to find myself. who I'm at this moment. I'm sure there are many people like me.

>>100979

>literally everyone

including you?

Based on your flag you think your being chaos magician but to me chaos magic is "Do as thou wilt" MOSTLY any ways. If you think and believe it will work then why wouldn't it? Problem being magic doesn't work unless you subconsciously believe it does and the only way to do that is to beat it in your subconscious. or do le epin drugiess ;)

>if you say you have not yet managed to fully comprehend

No I comprehend them. reality isn't as real as we think it is. You can experience anything you want. You can change reality but magic didnt do it, I did. I just happen to align my will with (insert higher power)

>If you think it's forever impossible

no, it's gonna feel like forever but at some point I'll get it.

>But nothing you've said so far indicates any alignment with the belief of someone protesting the use of flags

what you want me to going around shitposting "you am not real wizard! xDxD ;)" in the question thread being a hermetic to one guy means just being positive and doing self improvement. problem being guys on 24/7 high and good things just happen to him. it's easy to be happy go lucky when you have access to unlimited drugs If he gets results then who am i to say he's not hermetic.

>you should probably use the newfig flag if anything, really

except as a "wizard" I have to define myself and using anti-flag helps.

>>100985

> If you think and believe it will work then why wouldn't it?

What the hell are you talking about. This along with the rest of your post is incomprehensible, not to mention contradictory

> I wont really comprehend it.

>No I comprehend them

I think you are schizophrenic, and not in a good way. Should use the tinfoil flag since you're responding to shit that isn't there

>what you want me to going around shitposting "you am not real wizard! xDxD ;)"

you literally have no idea what you're talking about and completely failed to understand anything I said. No flag flag, is a protest in saying that no one should be using flags.

If you don't identify with any flags, then you don't identify with the protest of flags either

>except as a "wizard" I have to define myself and using anti-flag helps.

you've gone full retard. a lack of identification is not an identification. It's a variable, an unknown.

>>100990

>his along with the rest of your post is incomprehensible

specific points please

>not to mention contradictory

MAGIC!

>I think you are schizophrenic

by who's definition? to believe in magic was to be delusion in the first place.

> I wont really comprehend it.

>No I comprehend them

I mostly comprehend my own thoughts doesn't mean they are the universals truths. until I start throwing fireballs or flying I wont really understand how this reality works.

>I said. No flag flag, is a protest in saying that no one should be using flags.

and they shouldn't. We are still all the same dummy.

>If you don't identify with any flags, then you don't identify with the protest of flags either

I don't if you think and know you are a this (type of wizard) then who am i to protest if you get results or it makes you happy.

>a lack of identification is not an identification. It's a variable, an unknown.

By accepting that I don't know my self at this moment wont I will eventually know who I really am?

git cause I'm board.

>>100998

>We are still all the same

MARXIST SCUM CONFIRMED

Because the Kybalion's truths have produced the most tangible results for me, and I'm still learning.

Because its my element.

>>100952

Indeed it does.

I was born a complete psychopath, I've done and seen some fucked up shit.

Traveled many planes and taken many paths, nearly destroyed my twin flame.

Found taoism, still was a psychopath though I chose to be as benevolent as I could.

LSD, DMT, Shrooms, etc, a few encounters with faceless ascended masters and years later, I wake up and I simply understood.

Now I cannot bear to feel the love and power emanate from within, and around me.

I know the void, the unknowable unknown, and now I see the light that surrounds me.

There is nothing to fear, we have already won. Let those who live in fear or weave it run themselves down like children. When they have burnt themselves out they will fall away and only we will remain.

>>100998

>until I start throwing fireballs or flying I wont really understand how this reality works.

let me rephrase that cause that was just stupid. Until I learn how the multiple layers of existence effect physicality I wont understand how reality works.

>by who's definition

also stupid but point still stands

>>101039

>We are still all the same

are the same in the sense that we are conscious and trying to figure out how reality works. That's about all we have in common though.

The ouroboros is the nature of this reality. We consume and are consumed simultaneously and locked in a cycle for which there is no escape without harsh modification.

Just thought it was the most fitting. I feel it is good practice to attune to the reality you live in, understand this and work with it rather than flee to alternative states of consciousness where it is all about you.

I realized that I knew nothing. Then I forgot who I was. The flag was just a label. The middle way is OK.

sad

>he thinks the earth is flat

Why do people always do this? When somebody finds something they partially identify with, he/she often comes to identify with all parts of it. Many people who are conservative eventually come to want traditionalism and less funding for science, many people who are liberal eventually come to hate Christians and take on a vegan diet, many occultists end up taking every strange theory seriously and believe the earth is flat and white people are aliens, etc. I really don't care much what you choose to believe but have some integrity. The best advice I've ever read was the advice Robert Bruce claimed to receive from his higher self. He said to only believe what you can verify through personal experience, and everything else you should leave open to consideration without going all-in and making it a set part of your outlook. He also said that taking the perspective that the question is always out on whether something is true or not is the best way to go. If you really want to know if the earth is flat and can't be bothered by the numerous scientific proofs of its roundness, go fucking explore around it. If you blindly believe there is an end just because some website or book claimed to have knowledge that would sate your subconscious desire to be special and set aside from the rest of humanity, without even trying to find out for yourself what is true, you are just as bad as any radical cultist Christian or Muslim. You won't make any true progress because every single bit of disinformation that comes your way will pull you aside. For fuck's sake man.

>>101256

I don't use drugs anymore.

You really don't the fact that I was born a psychopath, and I get that I understand, I don't think I have ever known another person who could hate as much and as strongly as I have.

And I've hated and hurt and tortured and abused myself more than anyone or thing in this world ever has.

But it was just another identity, another mask to wear, another "me". When I finally realized that the "me" that I thought was I, was nothing more than a character of my own creation. I realized I could let it go, and set "me" free.

Free from cages of hate and pain, emptyness and sorrow. Free from artificial barriers of separation, from myself, from others.

So now I am love, you, me, we, all.

Cause he is my patron, archetype and teacher.

Your on the wrong board faggot

>>108182

Read the rules page: https://8ch.net/fringe/rules.html

If you find something that breaks the rules report it.

e.g. lets say flat-earthers make two threads, you may report one for duplicate thread.

I'm not going to censor someone merely for expressing a different viewpoint. The best way to deal with flat earthers is to counter them with your own arguments in favour of whatever shape you think the Earth is or to shitpost at them or to just focus on what is important to you and give attention to other threads.

Spammers on the other hand need a gassing.

>>108178

I would seriously like to see a flat earther explain why the moon and the stars are all spheres and why we shouldn't infer that our planet is also a sphere just from that alone?
