Now, sometimes yes sometimes I could be accused of living in my head, because let's face it reality is most of the time is not great. I am opposed to religion as I feel its just a way to control the masses, and a lot of times take advantage of people. Saying that now here goes I'm going to release some brain farts here...I want a group of like minded people to worship at the alter of themselves, to see themselves as powerful, coming together as a collective but not in the hippy sense where we grow veg, no I mean a created family of members who support eachother, come together to read books on satanism, without identifying as one, but who follow the teachings, witches as you may but without the hocus pocus more practical ways for instance, the single mom is part of the collective she never has to worry about struggling alone, or the lonely man who just wants a place to belong whilst being who he is without fear of rejection, a collective of a specialy created people who tell the truth, who are all very different and embrace without judgment, a collective where there is no need for outward mind numbing searches for where you belong because you belong to the collective where you meet every week to talk about the worries or the good points of the week, a collective where its the start of a tidlewave of new thinkers who don't look like Kim kardashion, a collective of brothers and sisters who would class themselves as witches in a sense because we make things happen for the collective, a secret membership of people who encase eachother accept eachother but with a goal in mind...money, power and freedom. Also exquisite dinners and rituals that involve black capes and a tattoo on the wrist so your set apart from the herd. Now my one and only friend thinks maybe I'm reaching for the stars but I say I thought most people think like this but are just too scared to say. What do you think? Do I sound like an insane cult leader, or do my brain farts actually sound plausible? By the way either answer is OK with me.

Deleted User May 2, 2024 17:38 It sounds like what you’re describing is a grad school program. Obviously one would prefer to get all the wonderful psychological-emotional-intellectual benefits without having to pay thousands of dollars, but then again, it depends on what one’s priorities are. I have found all of what you’re describing over the past two years in my master’s program, and this past March I had the chance to travel to Normandy with some of my classmates for a week and a half. The experience of being around other people as passionate as you are about the things you’re most interested in is incredibly rewarding. The collective excitement around learning at a higher level than the typical undergraduate degree program is inspiring. If you care about something this deeply, say humanist philosophy or ethics, perhaps it’s worth the money to enroll in a program of higher education. |

May 4, 2024 14:14 Thanks for clarifying. I understand. I'd like to meet someone who actually has a clear picture of that s**t, if such a person even exists...who isn't part of the problem. |

I think you're thinking of bipolar disorder which is characterized by swapping between manic or hypomanic states (ups) and depressive states (downs). |
