I think the girls were probably just the most scandalous thing he could offer. I’m sure he was able to provide for whatever your vice might be. Girls just have a way of being better witnesses than cocaine.

Wanting to sleep with someone doesn’t make them a pig. Insisting on it does.

- Comment on Was I born as a singularity built need and desperation? 1 week ago:
We’re on the same page—I’m referring to metaphysical work as being intentional energy manipulation rather than just existing in the physical world, which, as you pointed out, we all do all the time. As you probably know, when someone has been intentionally manipulating their mental and physical energy, they sometimes get spontaneous effects a little bit later, so I was wondering if this event could be related to that.
It’s definitely a strange occurrence. In my opinion, I would be a little worried about the random onset of it. Definitely be careful in case another moment like this strikes when you could be put in danger. It may be worth seeing if you can develop any skills to pull yourself out of it as an emergency measure. Magick is as much about turning it off as it is about turning it on.

It sounds like something between a vision and a disassociation. Have you been doing anything that might have brought this on like drugs or metaphysical work? I’m glad you didn’t find it distressing, but it does sound a little like this could be a problem if it happens to you in the car or the grocery store.

I’m not doubting you, I’m just seeking to understand the experience more.
Was it like a daydream, or a physical transportation? Could you come out of it at will, or was it uncontrollable for you?
I’m a practicing occultist, and I have experienced some weird shit before, but this description stands out. Visions don’t always mean what they appear to on the surface. Your post history suggests that you’ve had similar moments like this before.
If it is uncontrollable, you may want to get checked out by a professional. The magician swims in the same waters that the madman drowns in, they say.

And how did you experience this memory/fantasy/dream/vision?
- Comment on The word esoteric is somewhat esoteric. 1 week ago:
Upon further reflection, I might not be the best measure—I’m an occultist who is also currently writing a book. The word esoteric may only be common for my situation specifically, lol.

You think so? I feel like it is relatively common, but user experience may vary.

- Comment on I heard ya died brotha! 2 weeks ago:
Don’t get me wrong, dude was problematic, but a human being died who wasn’t ruling over us as a dictator or committing mass atrocities. He just had shitty opinions and a shitty personal life. Even assholes deserve 24 hours before the post death ridicule memes roll in. He has a family and fans who deserve the chance to absorb the news.
- Comment on What would happen if I just drove straight south to Mexico? 2 weeks ago:
Here is a YouTube channel that discusses what it is like in a lot of different cities for expats:
- Comment on What would happen if I just drove straight south to Mexico? 2 weeks ago:
In your situation, you will probably want to sell the car and use the money to make sure you get the proper visas. If you don’t have much money left, you may want to consider moving to a smaller town than Mexico City to save on rent. You may also find places more desperate for teachers who could help you with getting a work visa. There are many YouTube channels about being an expat in Mexico, and those could help you narrow down a cheaper place to move.
- Comment on What would happen if I just drove straight south to Mexico? 2 weeks ago:
I live on the border and cross into Mexico several times per week. First off, crossing into Mexico by car will involve more scrutiny than doing it on foot. Also, bringing a car in for more than a temporary stay requires getting import permission. If you are going to Mexico City specifically, you will need to have a work visa and that means having pre-arranged plans for a job when you apply. There are a lot of people who travel to teach in Mexico—they aren’t desperate. You want to have actual qualifications for the job so you can compete.
Mexico is not some laissez-faire country like you seem to think it is, and Mexico City is a modern international mega-city. Places you try to get a job, especially as an American, are going to expect you to be legit.

No worries, I just would have helped if it was something you wanted, but nobody should be forced into anything they don’t want to do.
I totally agree with your point that Christian values can drive the temptation towards “vice”—I just told OP the same thing in my reply to him. If you don’t create a moralistic contradiction for yourself, there is no tension to rebel against.
- Comment on Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes? 3 weeks ago:
The Christian values are a limitation you place on yourself, not an objective measure of right and wrong. It sounds like the feeling of transgression is part of what has got you hooked—like your own moral code is fuel for the addiction. Maybe, if you accepted your own hyper-sexuality and found an affordable outlet for it, you would be less driven towards prostitutes.

Do you want to know? There are whole subreddits dedicated to the subject.
- Comment on Does anyone struggle with spending money foolishly on prostitutes? 3 weeks ago:
First off, there is nothing wrong with seeing a prostitute other than the financial burden it may place on you. Play safe, get tested, treat people with respect, no guilt necessary.
Ironically, I have the opposite problem. I have met sex workers and ended up dating them because we got along so well. My point is that the struggle is real. Every relationship has a price. Prostitute are just more up front and clear about what that price is.

This sounds like more of an issue with how you’re behaving with other men.
- Comment on How does a guy become his most confident around women? 3 weeks ago:
Be direct, and ask questions. People enjoy talking about themselves. Don’t be self disparaging—you can tell the truth and own it at the same time. Stand up for yourself—don’t become a pushover because it is a woman asking. Don’t be afraid to say what you really think.

The fungus definitely sits around all day musing “why walk when you could ride?” /s
- Comment on fafo 3 weeks ago:
I’m no fun-guy, but I don’t think it works that way. When you drive a car, you don’t suddenly feel like you have wheels. I imagine a zombie fungus driving an ant is akin to a person riding a Silt Strider in Morrowind—a body horror vehicular experience.
