Alice Greczyn Instagram – New blog post! I have also met the D*M*T* aliens. 😂👽 Furthermore, I’ve communicated with The Swirls. IYKYK. While some people, like this post (swipe!) from @doubleblindmag points out, interpret the consistencies of D*M*T* trips as affirmation that users are “tapping into” a real realm, writer and neuroscientist @tipado offers us another way of looking at it. His curiosity makes me feel seen, as I hope my writing makes other people feel seen.
One of my greatest joys, and one of my deepest senses of purpose, is to demystify the mystical. I understand why it can feel like unkind or embittered hole-poking to others. That’s an unfortunate ramification I am still learning to try and fine-tune yet…it also isn’t my responsibility how others interpret my words—nor my omissions.
I seem to have unsettled many who have gotten used to me critiquing religion but are unused to me critiquing spirituality. My critiques of both are nothing new. I’ve been blogging publicly about these topics since 2009.
I recently told a friend that I often spend around 1,000 words of any blog post attempting to cushion what I really mean to say with disclaimers and other digestives that I hope might appease those who can’t (or won’t) as readily understand my perspective. I’m trying to do less of that, for it’s starting to feel like apologizing for my truth. Others, especially spiritual people, so rarely apologize for theirs, nor do I see them cushioning their broad statements about souls and the like to the soulless like me. Why am I trying so hard not to offend those who may never understand, nor have compassion for, my soulless worldview?
Especially because I know my view is needed. 🥰
👉🏼 Link in bio to #Unaccountable, my blog on Substack that’s totally free to read! I wrote this piece to have as a reference for when I unintentionally hurt spiritual people with my scientific inquiries. In short: My motives are love, just like theirs. Read it in full.
