Mixed Reality Puns

I feel I’m never very coherent after intense psychedelic experiences, so bear with me as I try my best to make this make sense. I am no stranger to psilocybin mushrooms, but have never had the “heroic dose” I’ve heard so much about. I thought having this experience would help bring some closure to some of the unanswered questions I had from meditation and previous trips. I’ve experienced ego death before on around 4g’s of shrooms and thought I was prepared for what was soon to happen. After I take the 5 grams, it starts out really nice and enjoyable. I’m just sitting on my back porch staring at nature in awe. About an hour or two in, my friend offers me to take a hit of his bong. I’m just like “fuck it, why not?” as I think back to times in the past where weed has actually had a positive impact on my trips. Seconds after I take a hit, I start feeling really strange. It was a clear sunny day and then instantly dark rain clouds seemingly come from nowhere and cover the whole sky. At that instant, a big group of people formed out in the street in front of my house and they all start screaming at each other and fighting (which seemed odd, since I’ve never noticed more than a few people walking down my street at a time.) At that point, everything happening around me seemed to feel like it was a direct projection of my thoughts and mental state. I go and lay down on the couch and within minutes I feel my ego begin to dissolve, and everything I had questions about all started to make sense as if the missing pieces of the puzzle all came together. But within the next couple minutes, I felt myself lose all sense of ego and I felt myself step out of what I know to be existence entirely. I saw and felt myself as source consciousness, everything, all at once. I became the “computer” or “operating system” that runs the “program” of life, and nothing existed outside of me. I became pure conscious, alone in an infinite void of true nothingness and everything else, all duality, was an illusion. An illusion created within itself to trick itself into thinking it wasn’t alone, all by itself in an empty void. My thought process was that I just dissolved the only illusion that keeps me from realizing that I am truly alone as we are all the same thing taking on different forms in an imaginary universe . The funny thing is, this philosophy of non-duality was something I had already believed in and it brought me comfort to know everything’s connected, but this experience felt mu

I've seen this reported here before too.

In order to learn and grow from your mistakes, you have to realise the relationship or situation wasn't perfect.

A couple of months ago, I was told by someone I was seeing that he wasn't ready for a relationship and I got closure over a text message, even though I wanted to see him in person.

You also have to go through all the feelings of sadness, anger, and acceptance of a break up even if you weren't 'dating' this person. You have to realise you will be better off and new opportunities will be there once you take the chance to let go of something that doesn't represent the reality of the situation.

I thought I had been in a relationship with this guy for 8 months and romanticised him in my head, we did all the things a couple would do, kissing, holding hands etc so I thought he was my first love that I would do anything for. The way we met was like an opening to a fairytale scene.

He was being distant towards me in March and I overlooked the red flags. The last time we met up, he commented on my clothing telling me that I dressed like a 12 year old but I brushed it off.

I also made mistakes too. I became too obsessed with his culture, reading everything I could about the country and felt a lot of pressure to learn his language and achieve the same grades he did.

I didn't really see that he wasn't the right guy for me because in a relationship you aren't meant to feel pressure, you are meant to feel safe and happy and that's my fault by putting these expectations on myself.

My grades shot up as I was failing and as soon as he came into my life, I was getting high marks.

Unfortunately I equated that to being with him, and doubted my own achievements.

Realising that your fantasy will never match up to how they treated you in reality will give you the chance to move on with a better person that you deserve, but if things went amicably you should also wish them well too.

I'm now talking to someone who I think may actually be the one, he cares for my wellbeing and motivates me to do well in life. There is no pressure to act or look a certain way and he wants me to just be myself and we are letting things happen naturally.

Find someone who appreciates you. They aren't necessarily bad people for not seeing your value, some want different things in life and if you don't love yourself then nobody can.

Not off to a good start

“Wake up sleepy head, it’s already 7:30 PM.” David shakes me over and over.

“H-huh?” I stuttered.

“Jesus, why are you sleeping against the wall? What the hell did you do last night?”

I slowly opened my eyes.

“I-uh...” I was about to tell him about the horny couple next room but then stopped midway.

“I wasn’t familiar with the place so I went around and eventually fell asleep here.” I said.

“Right...Anyway, take a shower and then we’ll head down to the kitchen to get some breakfast. We’ll be going to the museum at 10.”

I slowly stand up and head toward the bathroom. I splashed some water onto my face and when I looked in the mirror. Someone was standing behind me. I didn’t catch it clearly because the water was making my eyes itchy. So I wiped it off and the figure was gone.

“What was that...”

I grabbed a bottle of shampoo and some clothes to change from my suitcase. Then, I took a shower and made sure that I smell at least decent.

After finishing, I walked downstairs with the backpack in one of my hands. As soon as I headed into the kitchen, I heard.

“Hey! You creep.” I thought Josh’s words were aiming at me.

“What?” it was aiming toward Karl.

“Yesterday, what the hell were you doing outside of my room at such a time?” Josh said.

“I don’t know what you are saying.” Karl responded.

“You don’t? Then what were you doing at 1:30 in the fucking morning?” Josh yelled at the poor guy.

“What do you mean? I was asleep during the whole time.” he was already scared.

1:30... that was 30 minutes before I started to fall asleep again.

“Well yeah? Then explain why did I see you standing outside of my room through the peephole? You were standing motionlessly, looking toward the peephole.” it sounded creepy, but I don’t think Karl would do such a thing.

“I-uh-” he couldn’t even say anything.

“That’s enough. I was awake when it was still 1:30 AM. I did indeed see him in his bed sleeping.” Hugh intervened. It seems like he had a hard time sleeping too.

“Fine, I’ll let you slip this time, if I see you next time creeping outside my room then I’ll fucking beat you for being a creep.” Josh pointed his finger at Karl.

All of that happened while the trio of popular girls was sitting at their table and doing something on their phones.

Finally, Mary and Mrs.Emily came d

Just a quick edit before the post: some people have reported more crashing than usual in DCS, No Man's Sky, and Elite Dangerous. It may be worth not updating to the BETA of WMR for SteamVR if you play these games heavily. I personally have tested Elite Dangerous and not had issues, but 2 users have so I thought I should note it.
