AI Thread Summary
A path to bliss is often realized through practices that promote relaxation and emotional connection. Techniques such as relaxed breathing and listening to music evoke profound memories and emotions. Prayer serves as a source of reassurance and connection to a higher power. Personal experiences with medication can also facilitate a deeper understanding of life's complexities. Embracing a private lifestyle and working for oneself can enhance feelings of contentment, while social interactions, particularly with friends, may lead to inner turmoil. Acceptance of circumstances, as suggested by the teachings of Epictetus, is highlighted as a key to finding peace. The challenge of maintaining a clear mind amidst overwhelming thoughts and feelings is acknowledged, emphasizing the ongoing journey toward bliss.

How have you realized a path to bliss, a glimpse beyond the ordinary?

Relaxed breathing calms me and places me in a natural flow. Pure music let's me remember past, profound emotions. Prayer sorts out the day and reassures me that, in the end, someone cares. My medicines demonstrate a miracle by allowing me to safely experience the deceptions of existence.

A path to bliss? Yes, I work for myself now and live a very private life. With rare exception, normal people drive me nuts.

I have no trouble with my enemies. But my god damn friends... they are the ones that keep me walking the floors at night.

I have found bliss (I'd call it contentment) through acceptance of things. I recommend reading Enchiridion by Epictetus (its available online).
 
What does any of this have to do with "exploring the supernatural"?
 
I try to empty my mind, but it keeps getting full of fellings, thoughts and ideas to point of overflow.
