I went on vacation to Tennessee and tried to log in and it said I needed to verify with their identity verification provider. Of course I refused.
Now I am home in a different state and still cannot log in. I contacted support and because I was detected in TN once irrespective of my name and address and credit card info in their system they refuse to let me back in.
Support said they canceled my subscriptions for me because you can't even access that part of your account.
It's ridiculous this is where things have landed. And it's not even stopping porn in the slightest it's just making it harder for honest people to pay for what they like. And so the government can track us more easily. Wish I could do something other than vote with my wallet.
It gives me some discomfort - almost makes me wonder if it could induce some sort of epileptic episode in me if I tried to push through the discomfort.
But on the whole Liminal is a neat app with other useful experiences.
Yes.
In my family I am under employed and my wife is an elementary teacher. Health insurance for us costs $800 every month. A car is required and so is the gas to drive it. We have two 7 year old Toyotas and insurance on them is $100 a month.
It’s a lot more overhead and risk mitigation compared to the better nations like yours that care for their people.

More anecdotes from Mr. Lilly https://www.intuition.org/txt/lilly.htm
MISHLOVE: Perhaps this is a necessary part of everybody's journey, is to go through the epitome of terror.
LILLY: Right. For instance, there's an Iranian psychiatrist, an American psychiatrist, that put a hundred patients in a mental hospital in Iran through what they feared most, on Ketamine, and they all left the hospital. Now, I tried the same thing, after I read that. That evening I took 150 milligrams of Ketamine, and suddenly the Earth Coincidence Control Office removed my penis and handed it to me. I screamed in terror. My wife Toni came running in from the bedroom, and she said, "It's still attached." So I shouted at the ceiling, "Who's in charge up there? A bunch of crazy kids?" The answer came back, "Well, you had an unconscious fear, so we put you through it, just the way the Iranian psychiatrist did."
MISHLOVE: In the realm of the mind, the province of the mind, we can face all our fears.
LILLY: Well, you may not be able to live with it, but you should try it.
Trusting the process was great and worked well after 4 IV treatments. There is absolutely something to the plasticity coming from a treatment and being able to get out of a rut.
And a lot of management bravado is from fear and ignorance of how the work is actually done and their ego gets in the way of curiosity.
So then there is a good chance you are not in favor when promoted in to their circle because they can feel threatened.
I think this was labeled with the overused "nervous breakdown" in those times.
I tell people I went into the substrate of all existence / consciousness.

I am feeling really burnt out at work and talking to my therapist she is asking why I always seem to feel defensive and I am realizing PRs trigger my anxiety from being nit picked and having borderline hostile PR reviews for the past few years.I am really not sure what to do to break the cycle but I dread opening PRs at job and waste hours trying to guess what people are going to be critical of...
My treatments with ketamine were done by an anesthesiologist and I told him I felt like we were playing a bit of "fuck around and find out" with this stuff.
I still want psychedelic therapy with psilocybin in a professional setting so I am interested in more datapoints around negative experiences especially from a peer in the same field.
I do not like the numbness from the ketamine. I understand psilocybin is going to be a different experience that may not make me feel as out of control.
I did IV infusions which is nice because it can be stopped compared to IM injections, nasal spray or lozenges.
I am planning to visit oregon in 2023 so I can receive therapy with psilocybin which hopefully has less negative side effects.

> ... the aim of this book is to prompt each one of us to think more deeply about the reality of all that we as a seemingly limited individual consciousness experience and know ...
I find that fitting in some regard given what I experience and how much is going on in our mind all the time.
I am glad this was posted today. Perfect timing. Will be curious to see how it stands as a whole.
