It was 3 days ago. Am I still screwed? Also this is not a joke, I'm suffering triple withdrawal from different substances so that was my motivation.

Some mediums and NDErs have claimed there are 7 or more spiritual afterlife spheres surrounding the Earth. Apparently the spheres that go higher are bigger than the ones that are closer to Earth's surface. So how big would be the 7th sphere for example? Is it possible it encompasses the entire universe? This would make Earth centrism possible again perhaps, even though we already know the universe has no center so whatever-centrism is true anyway.

Granted I learned AP:ing by accident while being heavily sedated by methadone for a year. I just slept all day and one night rolled out of my bed. That was 6 years ago and after I switched medication I've been able to project at least once per week if not more often.

At any rate I stopped the opioid treatment completely now and haven't been able to project once since then. I'm still suffering severe withdrawal though, but I was just wondering whether anyone knows I can regain AP:ing skill after my system returns to normal?

I have rarely doubted the reality of NDEs, but these two questions have been nagging me for some reason lately, even despite the fact my own short NDE has always been consistent in my mind and I never had the need to add anything to it. The only problem is I can no longer remember whether it was dreamlike or realistic.

At any rate my questions are as in the title:

1. Is your believe in afterlife really 100% with no doubt after the NDE?

2. Have you ever exaggerated about its contents?

Of course there's a possibility some people may not be honest answering these, but I'll give it a go anyway.

I mean if you start writing in a way that sympathizes with Nazis, serial killers, etc. does it still say you're right about that?

The materialists seem to think that a few decades is such a long time science has already solved all the problems of consciousness. It isn't a long time though. How long have they studied the human brain with any sort of technology? 100 years maybe? That's a ridiculously short time in the end.

Internet has only been around from the 1990's allowing everyone take part in the conversations. Lately there have been more and more posts about the possibility that brain is not the only source of consciousness and that correlation does not necessarily mean causation. Many scientists have adopted this view as well.

So what happens in the next 100 years? What about after like 800 years? I think it's naive to think the current physicalistic view is still exactly the same as it is now. Perhaps physicalism will prove to be false and we find out everything really is just consciousness.

I think everyone should keep an open mind about it in one way or another. Otherwise we might as well label physicalism as religion.

I hear that tune in my head constantly. It's getting annoying but I guess it's a success.

Some people seem to have only seen the intro, "demon king secret stone" scenes and the ending. However 90% of the story comes from the geoglyph cutscenes. If you skipped them it's like looking 5 minutes of a movie and judging it based on that.

So I started replaying B2, this time after completing B1 for the first time and there's no way out of it, the sequel is nowhere near the level of the original. The main problem is it feels boring because of mediocre level design and spongy enemies. The backgrounds have gotten a lot blander too. I also hate it how slowly all the NPCs speak, makes me wanna skip the dialogue.

I don't understand how they messed it up this bad. The OG was an artistic masterpiece and this one just... is.

Yeah, I'm posting again, but I just wanted to appreciate this game. It's so detailed and I can imagine the pixel artists have worked overtime for this one. I just stopped in a middle of a generic looking corridor and realized it's all but generic. Every pillar and background tileset seems to exist for a purpose which is to bring this surrealistic fantasy/ medieval Spanish mishmash together. They obviously studied a lot of references from Spanish architecture and Catholic imagery. This extends to the basic enemies, quest items, etc. as well.

It's just a really coherent package with some of the best lore in the genre. If I had to find comparison I would say Hollow Knight and Silksong, although the basic gameplay of Blasphemous doesn't get on that level. It's main "flaw" is that it's too similar with the Castlevania games. So, that would be half a point away from masterpiece, I'd give it 9.5/10. It's the third best metroidvania I've ever played, right after HK and Silksong.

I know this may sound like a ragebait for those preferring DS, but I got annoyed after someone on this subreddit stated Blasphemous is "poor man's DS" in terms of writing. In my opinion the NPC dialogue in DS isn't that good or fitting. The comedic undertone makes it feel out of place and even rushed at times. As for Blasphemous the writing is just magnificent in all levels and never feels out of place.

This doesn't mean I dislike DS in general since it's a great game, but in terms of writing I think Blasphemous beats it. I always read the extra lore pieces from the collectibles because the lore is just that good.

As for Blasphemous 2 I haven't played it in a long time and I can't really remember whether the writing was good or not. This makes me think it probably wasn't as good as the original which I'm now playing for the first time.

In my AP:s I constantly encounter groups of people who always seem to be studying something. Last night there were these structures that seemed to be like cubes stacked on top of each other and forming terrain and small buildings. The cubes had images of playing cards on their sides. Groups of people were studying them.

Is seeing these groups common? By this I don't mean exactly these people, but other groups in process of studying something.

Question for NDErs: did you receive any knowledge about the so-called heavenly spheres? Some mediums claim Earth is surrounded by seven spheres that function as the afterlife for the physical life on Earth.

I mean I can imagine it would be easy to use it in everything such as code, visuals and music. How would anyone know if part of the code or soundtrack is made with AI?

They have these false statements such as claiming DMT causes NDE even though there's no evidence human brain produces it.

Another lie is that because "no one" saw targets in NDE OBE experiments the phenomenon is not real. In reality such experiments are almost impossibly hard to arrange as Sam Parnia and others have stated. The sample size of such NDErs is close to zero. However the materialists make it sound as if there had been hundreds of correctly tested NDErs with negative results which is bull (that being said cases where people did see stuff such as Reynolds and Barker do exist)

The materialists also lie about the cultural differences in NDEs. They pretend Christians always see jesus and Buddhists the Buddha which is a severe distortion of facts. NDEs generally have a lot more universally common elements than differences and not depending worldviews people mostly come out spiritual.

They also claim NDEs are similar with psychedelic trips which is provenly false.

If the materialists are as rational as they claim to be why are they lying and distorting facts about NDEs? These are just a few examples since they lie about pretty much every single NDE element. There's no way it's just an accident.
