I really don't understand why you are unsettled. It is a description of the usual character of fearful thoughts. We all have them. The "voice of fear" doesn't mean that one is hearing voices--it's just a way of saying a train of thought. And to me the pace and narrative is completely normal. The point is to give you a hand in beginning to identify fearful thoughts in your mind if you are truly at a loss and in the fog. It's not vacuous to me. Does that make me strange? I'm sorry that it reminds you of schizophrenia--perhaps it evokes a fear reaction in you to anything related to it. To me this kind of writing seems to be quite similar to both the message and style of writing of Eckart Tolle. He talks a lot about clearing the mind of fearful, jerky thoughts. Is he a quack? A cult leader? Because he writes books based on spiritual and psychological insight and sells them? Give me a break.




You're really criticizing her on her small vocabulary? That's why we should be unsettled? Come on. If she had written in Spanish, the vocabulary would have been just as small, if not smaller. And indeed, she did originally write in Dutch, which doesn't have as many words as English.




I'm really surprised to find such disdain for cultural or personal romantic differences on a site full of people open enough to do psychedelics. You're making a big deal over something that isn't. I'm sorry that the speed of her falling in love scares you. I'll chalk it up to your personal experiences.



...and her doctorate in philosophy. Also, the bio is probably geared toward revealing only what is relevant to the Jeshua site. Maybe she didn't include her hobbies or other jobs because, as she said, she is normally a shy person.




Yeah, you tell yourself that.




Who are you to decide what is mystical knowledge and what isn't? Sure, maybe some DMT trips have given you a glimpse of the source of creation. Maybe she has had some experiences, too, via other means (or perhaps the same means, you never know!) that are equally mystical.


Just because you have your own concept of what is a valid mystical experience does not mean that people who have different sorts of mystical experiences are quacks, liars, or fucked up. That line of thinking is actually very dangerous and is what lead to Jesus being persecuted in the first place, not to mention millions of people after that, who deviated from what was culturally decided as valid. Witches were burned. Jews were burned. And although I'm sure you have no violent intentions (I sure hope not, anyway), the line of thinking in which you fall is with those who burned witches. No matter how read-up or smoked-up you are on your mystical knowledge, your sentiments are just as grotesque, if not more so, as what you perceive as this "fiction writer," because they contain charged judgments of another based on their spiritual path.


...Especially since your criticism of this author is quite vacuous in itself. You're unsettled by cultural differences, diction preferences, and your own mystical arrogance.
