How hard would a tree morph be to gain control of?

By gaining control i mean realising that they're in a morph

Someone who knows way more about dendrology than I do will have to weigh in on this one. How much do trees perceive? How do trees communicate? How much does type of tree matter?

with all the money spent on king crab at the market, Qiu could as well go to the fanciest restaurant and have a delicious dinner… why was he just buying noodles? And why he needs the kids to cook for him?

Place your bet, I will reveal mine tomorrow ^_^

Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he’s created?

[the-healing-mindset]

When you feel perpetually unmotivated, you start questioning your existence in an unhealthy way; everything becomes a pseudo intellectual question you have no interest in responding whatsoever. This whole process becomes your very skin and it does not merely affect you; it actually defines you. So, you see yourself as a shadowy figure unworthy of developing interest, unworthy of wondering about the world - profoundly unworthy in every sense and deeply absent in your very presence.

How deeply chaotic would it be to start the OG Ossan's Love while watching Ossan's Love Returns without having had watched the OG?

(FWIW I am loving Ossan's Love Returns and I can totally understand why it's not everyone's cup of tea; that said, it makes me laugh out loud multiple times an episode and I honestly think it's really special and I'm kind of super duper excited for the Thai go at the story. Also Earth and Mix in suits = yummy.)

I ask and ask again, beating on chaos: “Who plants us on this earth without asking our permission? Who uproots us from this earth without asking our permission?

Como cuando en plena calle gano conciencia y tengo una sobrecarga de sentidos pq me doy cuenta q existo, q vivo, y q yo y todo a mi alrededor es real

Being a being is so stressful. I even don't want to be nothing. I simply don't want to be anything, not even the nothing thing.

"The New Revelation: Arthur Conan Doyle's Visionary Quest into the Mysteries of the Beyond"

In "The New Revelation," Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, best known for his iconic detective tales, takes an audacious leap into the realm of the supernatural and spiritual exploration. Published in 1918, amidst the backdrop of World War I, Doyle's departure from the familiar terrain of Sherlock Holmes marks a profound shift in his literary endeavors. The narrative unfolds as a thought-provoking treatise on spiritualism, where Doyle invites readers on a journey beyond the veil of the tangible world. This visionary work is an earnest attempt to reconcile the mysteries of life, death, and the existence of an afterlife.

The author presents a compelling case for the existence of a new revelation, one that transcends traditional religious doctrines and offers a glimpse into the metaphysical. Drawing on personal experiences, anecdotes, and an array of paranormal phenomena, Doyle weaves a narrative that challenges conventional skepticism and beckons readers to consider the possibility of a divine connection. His exploration into automatic writing, mediumship, and encounters with spirits propels the reader into a realm where the boundaries between the corporeal and the ethereal blur.

Doyle's prose is impassioned, and his sincerity in grappling with profound existential questions is palpable. He engages with the subject matter not as a detached observer but as a seeker of truth, infusing the text with a sense of urgency and conviction. The narrative is not without its controversies, as Doyle confronts skepticism and critics head-on, defending his belief in spiritualism with unwavering resolve.

"The New Revelation" serves as a captivating intersection of spirituality, philosophy, and the unexplored corners of the human psyche. While the work may not be embraced universally, its impact lies in its ability to spark introspection and foster a dialogue about the mysteries that continue to elude our comprehension. Whether one approaches this text as a believer or a skeptic, Doyle's venture into the metaphysical is undeniably a testament to the versatility and intellectual curiosity of one of literature's most celebrated minds.

In conclusion, "The New Revelation" stands as a bold departure from the detective fiction that defined Arthur Conan Doyle's career. This foray into the unknown provides readers with a unique perspective on spirituality, challenging preconceived notions and beckoning them to contemplate the enigmatic aspects of existence. Doyle's exploration of the supernatural serves as a testament to the boundless curiosity of the human spirit and its ceaseless quest for understanding in the face of life's greatest mysteries.

"The New Revelation," by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is available in Amazon in paperback 10.99$ and hardcover 17.99$ editions.

TW: mild depersonalisation, existential questions

The thing is, what if I don’t understand who or what I am? What if I’m not anything at all? I am a bitch, and a martyr, and a lover, and a warrior, and a poet, and just some piece of ass walking down the street, depending on who you ask. I have been perceived as wearing so many faces, most of them so distant and alien from my own that they become someone else entirely. I am a bundle of perceptions from others, but who am I when the audience stops looking entirely?

My potential employers want to see me as one thing, and my family as another, and my friends as some secret third thing. I am in fact simultaneously all of those things and none of them at all.

I’m starting to really understand what Will Wood meant when he made various commentaries on personal identity. Maybe I am the problem in some ways because I do expressly label myself in such minute detail, because I become the character expected of me depending upon circumstances. Maybe what I feel and what I do aren’t even really me, but if not then what is? And who else could I be? And what of it in the end?

when conan gray said 'cause i could give you all you want the stars and the sun but still, i'm not enough' and when conan gray said 'all the things that I've done for you not to notice' and now all I'll be doing for the next few weeks would be listening to 'yours' over and over.

Is it possible that existence is our exile and nothingness our home?
