Deep Stoner Thoughts

"In Veerashaivism, Shunya or Shoonya (empty, zero, void) is seen as the nature of the Supreme Consciousness or Shiva. Shunya is represented as a point, or Bindu, which is beyond one and many, and beyond human intellect. Another similar term which is used in Veerashaivism to describe Shiva is balayu – void or nothingness. One of the most important texts in South Indian Veerashaivism is called the Shunyasampadane, which means the "earning of voidness", signifying the spiritual path of merging with Shiva. H.H. Mahatapasvi Shri Kumarswamiji explains Shiva thus:


It [Shiva] is the transcendent Reality, the pure Absolute, the supracosmic Infinity. It is itself its own world, its own universe, of any other than itself it can form no concept. It knows not length nor breadth nor height, for it has no experience of them; it has no cognisance even of the number one, for it is itself one and all being is really nothing. How to represent it? Words come out baffled, it defies all definition and description. Yet the humble attempt of human mind to represent it ends in a zero. So it is represented by a zero or Shunya."

The human brain makes millions of calculations per day, its astonishing what it is actually doing. Like calculating distance and positions of sounds based on travel time to your ears, whilst processing a billion other things, all perfectly.. SO! How the fuck are peoples judgements so bad, how can someone think its their right of way when clearly you are walking /driving correctly as an example, some people are just fucking morons, it is unexplainable some peoples actions. Wasted brains maybe!?

All the banter in life is at someone's expense. Either taking the piss out of yourself, or someone/something else, that is the only way you have people laughing in most social groups. I am not an exception to this rule, just something that I have been thinking about, probably says more about us as humans that you think?

Said Alice; “It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”


“I wonder if I've been changed in the night. Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!”

Have you ever thought about what we were made of, 100 years ago and today ?

Where the atoms & molecules in our bodies come from - and came from ?

Obviously, from what we eat, drink, and breathe.

Long story short, 100 years ago, most of what people ate was grown using organic fertilizers. AKA manure.


Today, our food is more likely to have been grown using man-made fertilizers (e.g. ammonia nitrate, a process involving ammonia and nitric acid ... something like that).


Personally, I'd rather be composed of organic molecules, even if it means that 60 days ago, half the molecules in my body existed as some form of animal manure.

Or as a langbeinite deposit somewhere.

What is Time?

Man: Well, it's like this,—supposing I were to sit next to a pretty girl for half an hour it would seem like half a minute,—
Einstein: Braffo! You haf zee ideah!
Man: But if I were to sit on a hot stove for two seconds then it would seem like two hours.

A form of temporal illusion verifiable by experiment is the kappa effect, whereby time intervals between visual events are perceived as relatively longer or shorter depending on the relative spatial positions of the events. In other words: the perception of temporal intervals appears to be directly affected, in these cases, by the perception of spatial intervals.

One hour to a six-month-old person would be approximately "1:4368", while one hour to a 40-year-old would be "1:349,440". Therefore an hour appears much longer to a young child than to an aged adult, even though the measure of time is the same.

Altered states of consciousness are sometimes characterized by a different estimation of time. Some psychoactive substances – such as entheogens – may also dramatically alter a person's temporal judgment. When viewed under the influence of such substances as LSD, psychedelic mushrooms, and peyote, a clock may appear to be a strange reference point and a useless tool for measuring the passage of events as it does not correlate with the user's experience. At higher doses, time may appear to slow down, stop, speed up, go backwards and even seem out of sequence. A typical thought might be "I can't believe it's only 8 o'clock, but then again, what does 8 o'clock mean?" As the boundaries for experiencing time are removed, so is its relevance. Many users claim this unbounded timelessness feels like a glimpse into spiritual infinity. Marijuana, a milder psychedelic, may also distort the perception of time to a lesser degree.

It does. It's always 4:20 . . .
