why not try it? you can be more happy without esoteric stuff, can't you? after taking antipsychotisc you will probably find another hobby

ps. what diagnosis did you get?

>>10773

>>10773

Thing is my life goal is to break the cycle of reincarnation since I am done with life on earth. I really want out.

Several diagnosis-is since I was in treatment since age 6 and I've seen a bunch of people who tried to diagnose me so now my list is

NLD, ADD, clinical depression, schizoid PD, psychotic personality organization, pain disorder with history of depersonalization/derealization com-morbid panic disorder but that's gone now.

I guess at some point I was a little bit psychotic but I did not have hallucinations but my thinking was really out there. My psychiatrist said that was basically psychosis but I'm quite sure it wasn't a full blown psychosis.

You must be really batshit insane if you "study the arcane and esoteric". In my opinion you're better off on antipsychotics, maybe you'll snap out of it

>>10776

Seconded. Gnosticism a shit. /fringe/ a shit. Stop believing in this nonsense and take your pills.

Antipsychotics will indeed nuke your creativity and most love for anything creative.

You will be 'happy' but in a false sense. It will be the pill providing the happiness, not any achievement or what have you. In essence, your personality "becomes" the pill.

This is the reason why I forced myself off of them. I couldn't draw anymore, I couldn't write stories or fantasize. I found myself only mildly interested in music. Video games became more of a time passer than something I really liked to do.

But hey! Happiness is all that matters, right? Even if you are turned into a boring empty robot! /sarcasm

While I don't personally follow anything regarding /fringe/tier stuff, I do believe creativity and having real passions for something are very important and if I have to be crying and in pain every few days to have them, then so be it. Happiness is not the end game.

>>10776

how is a belief in the esoteric make you insane. You sir are a complete fucking asshole.

>>11196

Because many of the beliefs are not founded in anything and explicitly contradict what we know about the world. It's a study that has been around for at least 2000 years, and recorded during those years. No breakthroughs have been made. Compare that to any science, really.

But hey, why would an anti-psychotic mess with you spiritually? You believe that you are more than just flesh and bone, yeah?

If you're not, and your brain is abnormal and psychotic, why would you not want to treat it (temper it), lest it harm your spirit?

>>10779

You're right, and more than this, antipsychotics actually cause brain damage in long term use, I'd never recommend them for non-schizophrenics.

>>11209

So you'd never recommend them to "normal" people because they can induce brain damage but giving them to schizos is fine because it doesn't matter if they get brain damage?

Rude.

Jk though

>>11209

Is it the pills that do it or is it that schizophrenia is a degenerative brain disorder anyway?

>>11227

both

>>11895

Different guy but Gnosticism is for conmen. If there were secrets and magic spells, they would have been publicized, tested, and we would have proof they worked.

>>11914

No it wouldn't. If there were powerful secrets, anyone who knows them would do their best to keep it a secret (like if you made the first bomb. You wouldn't say anything. You wouldn't want someone else to have that sort of power). 99% do. The other 1% are a bunch of retards trying to "wake" people up lmao (and if they manage to get anywhere with it, which they probably wont, they'll either be discredited or taken care of).

Also, spells are ultra-retarded. No one shoots fire out of their hands. The closest most come to with that sort of behaviour are those who believe in clairvoyance and the such. Anyone in that community who goes beyond that and collective conscious and its implications is probably going off the deep end.

Furthermore, gnosticism isn't the spiritual. It's only one belief system of so. It's important to take into consideration science, the desert trio, aliens, other religions/philosophies no matter how obscure they are, and your own personal experiences. It's pretty much what you come to when you stop letting emotions dictate your thoughts. Refusing to consider information because it seems incredulous is as bad as refusing it out of fear (ie muh hell and sins). Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there is more disinformation in that field of study than politics. You have to siphon through and test the bullshit yourself.

I didn't start looking at any of this information until snowden proved that the US government is spying on people, which is what those "kooks" have been saying the whole time. There's a lot to the whole mess, and you can't just jump right into it. If you study ahead, it will appear insane/incredulous on its own. It's like if i tried to tell you that banks destroy the economy before you even realize what fractional reserve banking is.

I hope that helped.

>>11917

OP here,

Spirituality and paranormality is not hidden knowledge. Anyone interested in it can freely learn more on it. Like chakras and uts best to start learning to spiritually ground.

>>11919

A lot of it isn't and a lot of it is. An absurdly large portion of the subject is on the internet for all to see though, but there is still much of it hidden away in all those stupid cults. They only pass out that information to "Select Members" of their little clubs.

>>11914

Gnosticism is a dualist belief system half rooted in Plato and half rooted in Christianity and has no spells. You're thinking of wicca or hoodoo or something.

>>11924

>implying new age hippies congregating is anything new

the real Gnostics died a thousand years ago or more, it's just edgy people resurrecting dead religions for the keks.

>>11975

Yeah I have no idea how one is supposed to achieve Gnosis at this point when most of the gnostic writings have been destroyed and the priesthood has evaporated. It's worse than what those asatru folks are trying to do.

>>11975

I wasn't referring to the new age gnostics. I was talking about the organizations that have been around for so long they've become buzzwords. Freemason, incunabula, skull and bones, etc.

When I took risperidone I couldn't ejaculate properly. Is that common?

>>10772

I am personally taking Resperidone. Personally, it has not done much of anything except stop me staying late up at night crying.

Maybe just take a low dosage and not a really high dose? Also, try alternatives? I think you are worrying too much about a false dichotomy.

>>12023

I haven't had that experience at all personally.

>>11895

Lel, "listen and believe", "it's not my job to teach you."

>>12032

I don't tell people to listen and believe. I tell people to shut the fuck up and read a book. I understand that people run the "its not my job to teach you" spat to cover for the fact that they don't know jack shit, but I've tried teaching things to people, and it's pointless at least 80% of the time because people "already know" things. As I pointed out, I don't teach, I guide. I'll tell you what to read and interesting things to think about and all that, but the annoying part of teaching overpowers my desire to try to show people cool knowledge stuffs.

Learn it or don't. I don't care. I'm just passing time on a pointless image board.
