There aren't any threads you like? Well it's not our job here to make a special golden deluxe thread just for you because you won't shut your ego off long enough to actually THINK and INTEGRATE the information all around you. It's not that hard - click "new topic" and have at it. And show a little respect to Trav: without him you wouldn't even be starting this thread in the first place.

Music is alive and in your soul. It can move you. It can carry you. It can make you cry! Make you laugh. Most importantly, it makes you feel! What is more important than that?

I just wonder....
'what if?'
But then I think...
'Perhaps.'
Way ahead of my time.

I just had stoner moment- "be the changa you want to see in the world. "
Also, if you want some philosophy threads, hop into (one of my) experience reports and ask "what do you think that means?"
I echo what others have said, don't look at a wood fire heater and say give me warmth. Give it some fuel, then invite the flame.
My question to you, which probably would yield a decent thread itself ( and less venom), what is your favorite philosophical idea to discuss/fav philosophical question and how has dmt changed your opinion on it?

OP, the reason these things are not discussed in an abstract manner is simple. We know and accept that it is not our place to tell you about the truth of the universe, the nature of life and your personal reason for existence. We all have our own beliefs about these things and they are very subjective and very personal. No two people have exactly the same view of life and the universe. We form these beliefs through experience and circumstance, and none of us have the exact same experiences or circumstances. Thus, it is dangerous to speak about such profoundly personal topics in an abstract nature. If you have a specific question, feel free to ask it, but do not expect us to tell you what to think. We can only share our ideas, beliefs and experiences such that you may selectively integrate them into your own. Short Answer: Ask and ye shall receive. "Laws alone can not secure freedom of expression; in order that every man present his views without penalty there must be a spirit of tolerance in the entire population." -Albert Einstein
I'm not a big fan of SWIM. I mean, I've never met the guy, but any time I hear about him, he's doing something sketchy.

And with this I think we can close this thread. It has run it's course and I see no more gain to get from this. Kind regards, The Traveler
