"...we stopped there, and all sat at a table, just kind of in shock, not saying much for quite a while. In 1982, I was 23 years old. At 23, you think you know it all when you are hit square in the face by something like that; it shakes you to the core; everything you think you know is now suspect because you were in that abandoned town; it was just a cool old abandoned town, you saw it with your own eyes in the wide open sunny broad daylight, not on some dark foggy creepy night and nothing creepy happened, we took pictures that don't exist.
That changed my life from that point forward....
...For the next two days we totally forgot about hunting, we split up in two trucks and drove those roads over and over and over and never re-found "Peterson." That is my high strangeness story, we found a town that never existed, that other people have also see but only once.
As I look back on what we are now hearing stories about, stuff like different timelines like this fucked up one we are in now compared to the real one we branched off from on January 20, 2016. Is Peterson a place close to a spot where two different timelines come very close together? Is it possible that when all the conditions in the universe are just right, and you happen to be in the right place when all those conditions are right, you can visit Peterson?
What would happen if you were in Peterson and the universal conditions changed? I wonder if we will ever find out. If you can only go there once, how will it be studied? The mind-warping question is, who keeps track of who has been to Peterson only once and who hasn't?"

We do this sort of thing nightly, so it has a lot less woo woo value in here.
And the idea that it would "change your life" is false. That just attention seeking and an attempt to grab pity over some claimed supernatural trauma.
I must have visited at least 500 places I can't find again, in the last few years. Some with others.
It's far from life changing.
That sounds like a "heroic dosage" drug user making such a claim. That also is NOT life changing. We go far further than that nightly. And we're still the same idiots we were before.
If your assemblage point returns to normal, you return to being unchanged.
It also doesn't help anyone learn sorcery.
It's "look what I found" type behavior.
Religious behavior, group sharing of "weird stuff", hero worship and "soul mate" seeking are very bad tendencies in our community.
They place an extra burden on everyone each time they come up, and also convince beginners on the fence that there's no reason to put in any hard work since others get even better cool magic for free.

But only once. And the result, largely, of an outside intervention.
The rest, a continuation of such reveals, is up to each of us (and that person didn't follow thru).
And no drugs were involved in that individual's story. They were hunting for game in an area of the world unfamiliar to them, just like the hunter-gathers of prehistory...
It sees to be an extant phantom construct (?), that town, since the rare people who stumbled into that town in the area were also hunting at the time.

Yes, this can only distract the reader. Those who seek knowledge do not want to be bogged down mutch with strange stories that excite the mind.
Today, everyone seems spiritual and full of such tales that act like a drug. These stories evoke some powerful emotional response, like a sense of hope or salvation. And the ego enjoys such stories, making one feel special, and spiritual.
It's like emotional rollercoaster oscillates between poor humans/self-pity and a sense of being unique. And than desire for deeper connection appears for person who talks the same or listen to us, and for endless conversations.
Emotions can realy make us look like a leaf carried by the wind, moving us without direction or purpose. Notice this carefully.

So these stories really just alternate between self-pity and self-importance?

That's how it seems to me, I'm not claiming that like a fact, I'm just saying how I see it. In fact, I could say that those are children's stories.

It seems that I have reached the saturation point of every content. And lately, whenever I see someone, I only hear about spirituality, from what I should eat to fantastic stories, and the person is like on some drug while talking. All my girl friends are into it and they are on fire when they talk. It's a fantasy world of endless dialogue/monologue.

Do you feel that their endless dialogue/monologue is hampering them? I wanted to know that about another post that had a woman with a "talkative mind".

Definitely yes. The stories lack a clear point or break, making them feel like an endless loop, keeping people in a state of fantasy about themselves and their uniqueness. And this can quickly escalate into a monologue and dominance of the narrative.
My mind is also very talkative, analytical, and petty, and it often got so bad that it literally tormented me, I wanted peace! However, since I started practicing the things we do here, my mind has been much more under control. Also the change in lifestyle has significantly helped create a foundation for work and helped to reduce self-importance.

:) Thank you for the info. I have a couple of witches in my life and the talkative mind thing tracks.
