came across this late last night/early morning, the usual time for me to find fascinating stuff that keeps me up later than i intended. the main `debate` of sorts goin on in it is fate/destiny vs free will, and the use of entheogens. i'm a strong proponent of responsible entheogen use, i feel it should almost be a rite of passage type of deal. prior to my foray into entheogens, i was the type that tended to be stuck in the past, which is commonly referred to as depression. my experiences showed me an aspect of existence that transcends time, which has made it harder for me to get stuck in the past/future [depression/anxiety.]
i have seen across the fractal of time on dozens of occasions, some of them being a two way comms channel from myself to myself from different points in time. i got to thinking about the concepts of destiny / fate. it was as if i opened that channel, i was destined to open it from the other end too. now, if things are destined or up to fate, that would imply that free will does not actually exist, as you cannot alter that fate.
lack of free will provides some issues with processing reality. if i'm `on the rails` without free will, it doesn't matter what i do, the fates have already paved my path. that means i'm not responsible for anything? it would also mean that others are not either, which is a more useful view when dealing with less than ideal circumstances. the idea that i don't have free will pisses me off in some regards, but in others it actually feels correct. some here have heard me talk in voice chats, and are familiar with the way my words flow. a lot of what i end up saying isn't from preconstructed thoughts, these words just flow out of me. most of the hilarious one liner type shit i do, i don't even remember any of it. it's like i'm just a conduit. i don't have any issues with that, i think it's actually more enjoyable to be a conduit like that than regurgitate known phrases.
but there's something more, beyond the rail. something just out of grasp, or like a shadow cast from something unseen. perhaps [and probably definitely] such dualistic thinking of free will vs no free will is inherently flawed. somethings like death i believe to be predetermined, some general paths for life as well. where would free will come into play? jumping rails? creating your own rail? how you process the rail you're on? or what you take away from the rails after the ride is over?
i need to read it a couple more times, but that page does a great job of decoding the symbolism and myths passed down.
