being a 'mystic' may seem really cool, but its actually an extremely isolating and lonely existencei dont like to pathologize my experiences, but i do reclaim the labels 'psychosis' and 'delusion' even when i consider these experiences spiritual and mystical. problem is, i know that everyone else pathologizes me, and i cant change how people view me. i cant blame anyone either. i claim to possess divine revelation and make myself out as if im akin to a prophet. i believe i embody divinity itself. i feel an intimate connection with the divine and have a sense of profound insight into a grand eschatological & messianic plan. of course people arent going to take me seriously, and how could i possibly ask them to? to everyone else, im just a poor psychotic girl with a history of drug use babbling about incomprehensible incoherent nonsense

is it arrogant of me to want so desparately to be taken seriously? i do genuinely believe i have divine insight that needs to be shared for the sake of the world. in my view, its not just my pride thats at stake, its the whole world. what i want is for us all to be liberated from our oppression, and i believe that there is a divine force guiding us in that effort. for whatever reason, i seem to have been bestowed unique insight into that divine guidance, and i feel compelled to share that......or maybe it is just selfish arrogance. maybe i just want to be recognized. maybe i want to have others who share my beliefs so i dont feel so alone. maybe i want a community of people who all have this worldview in common. even just one person would be enough. everyone else gets to have community, but i cant, because im alone in my experiences and my beliefs. and its not like i can start a new religion, that would be a distant pipe dream

ive complained a lot about these issues before but in the past i kind of danced around the core issue (loneliness). im just lonely, no matter how many people surround me or how many people i talk to, im alone in my beliefs, im alone in how i think, im alone in what i feel, im alone in how i view and interpret the world... i may as well be in an entirely different world from everyone else. im just in my own inner world in my head, while the world outside passes me by and looks away as if i dont exist, as if im invisiblei acknowledge that i probably will never be taken seriously. i just have to accept that. i just have to accept a lifetime of existential loneliness, that can never be fixed no matter how many friends i might make. because the only thing that hurts more than being alone, is trying and failing not to be alone

kolektiva is great as an anarchist instance filled with other queer, plural, & neurodivergent people. but its obvious that no one is interested when i post about religion. it feels kinda lonely. and there are too many antitheists on this instance.

@ophiocephalic not necessarily unwelcoming, aside from the handful of vocal antitheists. there just doesnt seem to be much interest in religious stuff here, at least based on the fact my posts about religion dont get interaction.i just wanna talk to other people about this stuff, but i feel like i just take up space in the community tab and other people's feeds.

@FinalOverdrive @changeling you know that includes Judaism and Islam right? do you not see the problem there? i.e. antisemitism and Islamophobia?

@changeling yeahh it is so frustrating how antitheists paint all religions as the same based on their particular exposure to evangelical protestant christianity. they just outright ignore that other religions exist, and they ignore the diversity even within the particular traditions theyre opposed to. and ofc, theyre almost always ableist

@anoreon @changeling everything is 'irrational'. nothing is 'rational'. and there is nothing inherently 'better' about what society considers 'rational' or 'worse' about what is considered 'irrational''rationality' & 'irrationality' are dualistic constructions that society made up. its a false dichotomy between two social constructsi embrace the 'irrational'

@errante @changeling @anoreon the view that we can only arrive at truth through 'rationality' alone. mostly comes from Descartes. in this case tho i just said it as an inversal of the term "irrationalism" that the other person used. so in the case, it means emphasis on 'rationality' at the moralizing exclusion of 'irrationality' ("rationality good; irrationality bad" basically)aka "facts dont care about your feelings"ism. fascists and liberals love rhetorical appeals to 'rationality'
