Charge Up and Cuddle

[Deleted User]DarkLordChungus (deleted user)
in General

The crystal I wear around my neck contains an essence that gets recharged when I cuddle with a bro who also has a crystal. It gives me confidence at work, home, social situations, etc. Nobody knows it's a cuddle crystal but me and my bros. I have seen it glow white while cuddling with a bud that's how I know this is real.

Anyone else have a cuddle crystal?

    I’m a Runner so my crystal is rather dull except to a Sandman.

    I have a cuddle eye that allows me to see the warm glow I feel from those I cuddle with. It's not the same as having paired crystals, and I don't know if others see or feel what I do, but still... I know it's real.

    It glows white?? Man, you and your bros must have some strong cuddle energy. I've never got mine past a dull red, although my cuddle buddy's got to orange once.

    Run, runner!

  • MrPaulMrPaul

    No, but I’d like to try this at home. What mineral are the crystals? Were the crystals prepared in any specific manner? Is the glowing a repeatable phenomenon?

    Pfft. Very funny....

    @DarrenWalker

    Thank you. To everyone else: magic isn't real.

    Where is Jenny Agutter when I need her?

  • pmvinespmvines

    There was once somebody on here who talked about magic energy and how he could energy heal somebody on the other side of the world simply with his aura. Another person talked about her ex and how he could produce green balls of light in his hands and heal people. These are actual adults with professional jobs and educations who said this .

    @pmvines

    It's really, really absurd. I like to think that a few regulars here act as the forum's version of James Randi. Unfortunately, for every person who's into wacky stuff like logic and reason, there's ten people who believe (and peddle) the most stupid garbage imaginable.

  • [Deleted User]DarrenWalker (deleted user)

    I lose more faith in the sapience of homo sapiens every day.

    Evidence'll do that, I guess.

    I do understand the notion that something like cuddling can stir about a certain something in people. I get that and can relate. But it also tends to attract some pretty new agey stuff that I just cant wrap my head around. And i wonder whether they actually believe all of this or of it is part of a sales gimmick, like the psychic reader who puts on a show to cater to people looking for some sort of other worldly experience . Like you can't just cuddle to cuddle . Its about the chakras and transcendence and reiki and spirit animals . This is obviously not an example of all cuddlers as most i.find are pretty level headed . My thing is if you like cuddling , then dont turn it into snake oil and tote how it cures this and that and how it is like some sort of religious experience . Just don't.

    I am certain within my bowels lies the glowing orb of eternal happiness. My doctor says it is gall stones, but I am certain the eternal glowing orb will travel through my bowels and release its eternal energy. My doctor says tomahto I say tomato. I think my doctor is afraid the orb will supplant any need for her services. She should fear that.

    (Use this as a metaphor for vaccine hesitancy as well)

    @DarrenWalker If that isn't on Craigslist's Best Of board yet, I hope you nominated it :joy:

  • [Deleted User]DarrenWalker (deleted user)

    @squeakytoy: Oh, that one's a classic. Been around since I was nineteen, I think! (That's longer than I've known Chungus.)

  • MCcuddles2MCcuddles2

    I haven't noticed my crystals glowing after a cuddle session, but then again I'm not sure if that is something crystal meth is supposed to do.

  • quixotic_lifequixotic_life

    Magic is real to those who believe in it...

    I am a pretty logical person and an engineer by education and training. My profession requires accurately understanding the laws of reality(physics) and using those to make things that can withstand loads and not fail. I still think it is shortsighted to deny that there is a Great Mystery about the universe.

    The biggest one being, why does the universe exist? The big bang, sure, but why? It's mysterious and humbling.

    I think there are facets of reality that are poorly understood. Science is limited to only what we have proven so far. Before Marie Curie discovered radialoactivity, it still existed right? Before her discovery it would have seemed like magic; an invisible force that can travel through vacuum and hurt you.

    There are plenty of things in this world that I find magical. They way time slows down when you are sitting with someone you adore. The way mothers have a lifelong sixth sense about their children, and sometimes know if they are hurt or in danger. The way twins can sense each other. The way we don't understand how an electron can be random, with an infinite wave function that can condense at infinitely many points, yet still all add up to a non random physical reality. The sense of connection with the universe you feel when you are deep in a meditation session. They way indigenous ceremonies with psychadelic sacraments can heal things that modern medicine cannot. (I have personal experience with this, with recovery from decade long nerve damage, that was healed with a ceremony with indigenous healers in the Peruvian amazon).

    @MCcuddles2

    I don't romanticize human ignorance. In my mind, there is no "Great Mystery" inherent of the universe. We are creatures who see patterns and hope to understand the world around us—that's all. We, as a species, have invented innumerable Great Mysteries, solely for our benefit.

  • MCcuddles2MCcuddles2

    If there isn't a great mystery, can you explain why the big bang happened or why anything happened? Or is that a bit mysterious?

  • MCcuddles2MCcuddles2

    And let me get this right: if science studies and understands a phenomenon it now exists, and if it hasn't studied and understood it yet (radioactivity, pre marie) it is magic and not real?

    It's not a mystery to me. This isn't to say that I possess knowledge unavailable to anyone else—I'm not trying to start a religion—but rather that I'm content not knowing. And, furthermore, I place no inherent value upon knowing. I also realize that my contentment in not knowing is a clear bias, which also lacks value entirely.

    Also, in response to your second bit: I think you're placing far too much importance on the human mind.

  • [Deleted User]DarrenWalker (deleted user)

    As somebody who was raised in a fundamentalist faith (practically a cult, tbh), I wince at the idea of "We don't know" equalling "it's unknowable!" (typically leading to "it's magic/supernatural/god").

    Just because we don't understand a thing now doesn't mean we never will.

    Even if the human brain can't wrap itself around a thing, that doesn't mean no other type of brain will ever be able to.

    And even if no sentient creature ever figures a certain thing out, that doesn't make the thing supernatural.

    I'm not really the woo-woo type.

  • [Deleted User]cualtzin (deleted user)

    I too consider myself pretty logical. When someone talks to me about energies and auras my eyes glaze over internally while I try to pay attention. I may not agree but I respect their beliefs and make no effort to persuade them otherwise. I’m more interested in how their beliefs influence their actions. If your spirit animal the unicorn tells you to be kind to people, then good for all of us. However, if you feel the need to tell me I’m headed for eternal damnation, then that’s annoying.

    I never use the word unknowable. I'm simply mentioning an awe for the vastness of the unknown and acknowledging that things can be real yet not currently understood or explainable by science.

    I am imagining you guys feeling smug and making fun of, and dismissing, the concept of rocks that can harm you through vacuum, if you were alive pre discovery of radiation.

  • [Deleted User]DarrenWalker (deleted user)

    @MCcuddles2: Imagine us reluctant to believe without evidence, instead.

    Awe is all very well, but I prefer not to use it as a springboard to belief—many things have been asserted without proof, some true (and most false).

  • MCcuddles2MCcuddles2

    Being reluctant to believe is fine, but you see the danger of denying, and even refusing to acknowledge the possibility, of something that has been discovered by human experience but just not fully understood yet by science (again, I go back to radiation).

    How this all ties into the discussion of energies is that I am a strong believer in the connection of mind and body. Emotional problems can manifest as physical ailments.

    I've experienced cure of my nerve damage and trigger of neuroplasticity to reverse effects of a concussion, through indigenous medicine in the amazon. Science has long dismissed the value of psychadleics and claimed they are "wooey". But science is finally catching up, although quite late to the game, through the research on psilocybin happening at John Hopkins, to heal traumatic brain injuries and untreatable things like chronic depression.

  • [Deleted User]DarrenWalker (deleted user)

    @MCcuddles2: Mm. I think I'm missing your point. You're arguing for the existence of an essence that charges JO crystals? And citing... what? the placebo effect? as proof?

  • MCcuddles2MCcuddles2

    No it's more of a visceral reaction to denying the concept of energy with "magic isn't real". Magic may often just be a word for phenomenon that hasn't fully understood by science yet.

    A lot of these words, like energy, simply terminology for things humans societies have discovered through experience.

  • [Deleted User]DarrenWalker (deleted user)

    @MCcuddles2: Oh, I see. We have a different definition of "magic."

    For me, "supernatural" is an intrinsic part of what makes magic magic. If it's not supernatural, it's not magic. It might be cool! Amazing! Mind-blowing—even inexplicable given current human knowledge! But if it's not outside the laws of nature, impossible without violating the very fabric of reality... it's not magic.

    Magic, in that sense, isn't real.

    And, uh. To put it simply: there's a heck of a lot more evidence for hallucinations, misperception, and self-deception than there is for an essence that makes special crystals glow white when a couple bros have a good time together.

  • MCcuddles2MCcuddles2

    Anyway, I'm gonna go charge my meth crystals with healing energy
