Reminders for 8s

These are reminders for everyone really. but this is the stuff that the 8 fixation exposed for me and is helping me to overcome.

Running into the woods and abandoning society is a terrible idea, as much as it sounds lovely and amazing in theory… it won’t even achieve your goal of avoiding being controlled, it will just limit your reality into a smaller box and make you weaker. You have to develop the strength to handle the complexity of modern society if you want to change anything. It sucks but it’s the only way.

To become stronger, don’t drink or do any drugs. It WONT HELP YOU. it is a BAD coping mechanism. No if ands or buts. Sit with your pain and, if you have to, try to use rigorous intellectual methods to get to the bottom of it. Just don’t do fucking drugs. Whatever you do.

If you must do drugs. Or have sex with a bad person because you just neeeeeeed dick / pussy to satisfy you. Or whatever else you think you need need need to do right now despite all common sense telling you not to do it. Don’t do it. Study it instead. All of your self-destructive over the top desires stem from a morbid intellectual curiosity that you are trying to satiate with your body instead of your mind. Maybe instead of doing drugs you could study the affects that drugs have on the mind, and use your strong, rebellious, anti authority nature to be part of the psychedelic movement in academia. This will give you the excitement and satisfaction that you were craving and seeking through the physical experience of doing drugs. You can achieve the satisfaction that you seek without doing extreme and retarded things… IF you can sit and count to ten and be patient enough to discipline yourself into seeking truth intellectually rather than just through experience. This is only one example of the many ways that you can transform your lust from something destructive into something healthy and constructive.

Do not shut other people out. Take an interest in other people. Embrace people in their entirety despite their faults, despite the anger they make you feel. If you want people to take care of you, which you do really want deep down, start by being kind enough to take care of them. Love randos and love boring people at parties despite how useless they are to your agendas. Search for what is fascinating about them, because everyone’s got something to offer. Take an interest in people’s lives despite how mundane and boring you think they are. Take an interest in other people even if they cannot serve you and what you think you want and need. Your agendas are stupid. Let yourself be open to having your pre-conceived agendas that you entered into the moment with, be crushed. This is how you open your heart and rediscover your childlike innocence. Trust me.
