Recently I've been entertaining more spiritual ideas largely due to my usage of psychedelics. I've realised that all reality is subjective, what i call objective reality is a construction produced by an inefficient brain. Everything that I've ever experienced is just sensory information that my brain has processed and given back to me. I know this seems fairly obvious but i think psychedelics give you the chance to feel this truth instead of just think about it. Furthermore, I've started asking the universe for things. I guess I just figured what's the harm in trying. Ive asked for Signs, help, guidance, and either im going crazy or the universe listening. I hadn't spoken to This one friend for ages, I essentially let go of my desire to be friends with him and choose to let the universe decide whether we'll be friends again and the next day I saw him and we spoke. I ask for more proof and then during that same day some coincidence will happen. For example just yesterday. I've been vegan for quite a while and yesterday I watched a video about the subject for the first time in ages, and later that day I saw a vegan content creator who I used to watch just walking down the street. Its absolutely possible that the psychedelics have just made me more conscious of the funny ways that life works and how things intertwine, but I dont know. Alot of people have a genuine belief in manifestation, so it's gotta work for them.
Thanks for the advice and words of wisdom, this explains why I'm somewhat hesitant to delve into spiritualism. I don't want to become a societal outcast or nut job. I love the psychical world and its beyond an honour to be able to explore it, build something in it and connect with others. That's the way I see it.
I've been studying buddhism and it's a fascinating religion. It's definitely had alot of impact on my beliefs, especially the idea of the self being an illusion. I don't call myself a buddhist but I believe alot of what Buddhists preach.
