I was banned to “take time and reflect on myself,” I did so, and here’s what I SAW . . .

One love

I do have the pen drive to boof it into the laptop, please cloud nine share me the .exe file for it.

I'm disappointed.

It's not often that I feel this way about a fellow Nexian. Of course I don't see eye to eye with everyone or even get along well with some because of opposing beliefs but at the end of the day we all tend to work things out in the end. Sure there might be one or two members I've put on the ignore list for their own reasons but I very,very rarely ever openly express disappointment or annoyance directly with a fellow member. You have been, EXHAUSTING. Having you in the Nexus has been something entirely different than anyone else I've encountered or even seen here in the decade + I've passively skimmed the Nexus.

It's not even like you want to contribute or participate, it's as if you want us to worship your experience and accept you as the high priest the headier than though behaviour aged like fermented piss. It stinks. Few of us have the patience for it anymore. I'd be sincerely surprised if you survive another month around here making posts like THIS

What's worse is we know who you are, your face, how you write, everything. Even if you came back as Jiqja we would know it is you.

Turn the boat around friend, somewhere along the way you let your ego get blown well out of proportion. The irony here is uncanny to say the least. I've been here over a year and you managed to post almost as much as I have in around a month and it's all been essentially the exact same conversation every single time. So much so that you jump from one sub to another then to chat just to drone on and on about your travels and experience. It's played out. It's like you didn't learn anything from the medicine at all besides this inflated sense of self importance.

I'll do us both a favor and ignore you
I don't have any desire to interact with you at all. It's not that I don't want to see you eat, I just don't want you eating at my table.

Best of luck, I hope you figure the Nexus out before you lose membership over something as silly as not being able to socialize with others well.

I feel like my last reply was a bit harsh but it's like dealing with a door to door salesman who's behind on rent and refuses to take no for an answer. I don't want to buy your shady product, please leave

We’re all just trying to figure it out. Some, more than others…

I personally feel this post was quite diplomatic, factually accurate and frankly, spot on.

Also, let's be straight up here. WHO has time to not work and travel all the time? The list is a slim one. I don't know this person but as far as I can tell the list is being rich (having a rich DADDY and getting the goods or perhaps having worked a few years in tech and gotten very lucky), participating in black market economies, relying on others to pay the way, things like this.

To learn and embrace REAL humility I firmly recommend one thing: Get and keep a job (for at least 10 years) in the service industry.

Back to work, separating grassroots from astroturf
As half-truths they try to pass off as facts emerge
Keep me tethered to the ground, bring me back to earth
When I blast off and take my place in the galactic church

I have been listening to DECA non stop since you shared this. Thanks for sharing refreshing to have access to New media. The only other artist I can think of similar to DECA is Aesop Rock

 

[doubledog]

It does not seem that you are interested in sharing what you have learned about curanderos and their plant wisdom.
Most of your posts have very different content.

In general, it's not very wise to call some people diletants or trolls, when these exact people are mods of the forum. This could not work in your favor.

Since he'll probably get banned forever tomorrow, gotta take the opportunity to drop my meme.

That’s great to hear! I might start a separate thread about Deca, as there’s a lot to unpack about his music and what I think makes it so compelling. I can see the similarity with Aesop Rock in terms of the lyricism and psychedelic/adjacent themes, though I find Deca more soulful, relatable, and easier to connect with.

I enjoy that he write in a true cypher manner. everything has a surface level meaning but if you pay attention there's true depth to some of his lyrics.

in all honesty It got me thinking about poetry a lot more too which is really cool.

I guess I'm a good candidate for your “ignore” list.
All the best to you. May you find your audience.
Peace and Love

Done Northape. Sorry or any hard feelings.

 

[Ajqij]

If you’re coming back with the intent to contribute, then contribute. But calling people “left brained dilettantes” and announcing that you’ll label critics as “DMT trolls” isn’t showing much growth and reflection.

You weren’t banned for being too enlightened. You were removed because you refused to engage in honest dialogue without turning every disagreement into a declaration of superiority.


Good luck

Chosen to ignore but no hard feelings V. Not sure where we went off but had an equitable start.

 

[Ajqij]

I personally found your contributions to be very insightful and valuable, I didn't really get what the resistance was about. Partly I think this comes from the fact this is ultimately a site based in Western culture, a culture that DMT has been totally alien to until very recent history compared to other regions. As such, some may be overly sensitive to a sense that that they are being 'lectured' to or schooled about the sacrament and its use. They want to have their own relationship to the sacrament and can learn from other traditions also but have freedom to find their own way.

What I would say is, now that you have got the whole 'left brained dilitatantes' spiel out of your system, drop the 'DMT Troll' thing, it will just come across as overly reactive and likely lead to the same outcome. Share freely, and if someone you feel is being condescending put them on ignore and don't bother responding, just continue to share. You are a valued member and it would be a shame to let issues with communication affect that.

Thanks . . . moving forward now with the "ignore" command . . . which I should have noticed sooner.

 

[Ajqij]

Ajqij, the only thing I don't get is why do you want to be here on the nexus? It was crystal clear last time that what you were looking for does not reside here.

I'm sure many of us have adapted in some way or another to intergrate with what the nexus is. That is the key. We fit in here through learning and care. The nexus does not fit in with what an individual wants.

Fink, I was unaware of just how slanted the members are towards "science." I came with the "spirit" of the plant medicine, which isn't mental and certainly not empirical. Got the "ignore" command now, which I will use liberally.

 

[Ajqij]

What an inspiring post by the OP! I can really feel that unity consciousness coming through.

WEll I'm back and now that I know about the "ignore" command I'll go foward with what I have been gifted to contribute.

 

[Ajqij]

Kind of feeling bad for the guy.

Too bad the curanderos and daykeepers don't chill here, it would be a nice direct contact. But where do they hang out if they get into the net?

Hey Ruffles . . . no hard feelings. I'll stay and share and use the ignore when needed.

 

[Ajqij]

And with this attitude you have been suspended again till next Friday.

If you do not improve this sad behavior, you will get a perma-ban.


The Traveler

I'll use the ignore command from here on out, thanks.

 

[Ajqij]

Ah, yes, because calling others "left-brained dilatants", "narrow-minded", "empty-hearted", and "half-witted" shows so much growth, maturity, and emotional intelligence on your part. If someone hadn't heard your endless lectures and went solely off of this post, I wonder if they'd think "man, this guy really sounds like he lived among wise elders for 2 decades and over".

Took the time - you did. Reflect - not so sure about that one. You were banned not because people were not prepared to understand some grand truth that you were so graciously offering on a platter. You got banned because you took personal offense to people respectfully disagreeing with you, and instead of holding a healthy discussion about it, you reacted as if you were being attacked.

I want to say "welcome back", but if you're going to keep this defensive, arrogant, and belittling attitude, I'm not so sure I would really mean it.

I'd recommend following the advice you've been given above and use the "ignore" function of the forum on those members with whom you don't want to interact. But keep in mind that if the attitude you show in this post persists, you will get permanently banned from this forum. This is the one and only time I will remind you of this.

Good luck.

The "Ignore" command will become my best ally here I believe.
