Spirituality I am starting to think we really are hairless apes on a spinning ball of rock in outer space

Are we just more evolved monkeys and spirituality is a product of serotonin agonists?

I've been reading a lot about biology, neuroscience and anthropology recently. I'm starting to think that there is nothing. That all of the spiritual events in the past are the product of like tripping out on Fly Agaric or something. We are literally just hairless apes that emerged from the backwater slums of some intergalactic void. I keep trying to read my fringe schizo theories and Sheldrakean fever dreams and they just do not hit like they used to. I'm starting to think that the 'wise men' of every civilization were just freaky sex pests that realized the futility of it all and made it their life purpose to be high and horny as much as possible.

I'm not at all averse to tales of grandeur with indomnitable will and Faustian spirit but like, is there any actual evidence that we are in some kind of gnostic matrix, grand duplicitous satanic age or spiritual ascension of immortal souls? Maybe I am just a hylic, but I have never felt anything spiritual in my entire life(!). I think the only 'conspiracy' that I might be halfway convinced about is that ESP does exist but is massively inhibited by tech EMF.

Idk, but basically every spiritual exerpience of mine has been just My schizophrenia.

What else? Well, some "egodeaths" during meditation, but that's just a realization of the functioning of this brain at the biological level, nothing especial really.

ESP isn't so much inhibited by EMF as by instant communication. The effect is established but relatively minor compared to the idea you're gonna get locked up in the schizo ward if you express it

150 years ago it was expected for someone to go knocking on your skull after they died, because otherwise the news would take months to arrive

You have a phone call or telegraph in the earlier industrializing societies and that becomes obsolete, like knowing how to kill a sabre tooth with a stick when you got a strap

Schizo phrenia isn't real
Its an umbrella term for like 10 different things that all cause the behaviours

Mental illnesses as a whole, they're about as real or fake (you pick) as MBTI.

I don't believe in the reptilian soul trap conspiracy theory, or traditional gnosticism, but the gnostic concept of an evil reality is real and can easily be observed.
, grand duplicitous satanic age
I don't know if this is in reference to satanic elite conspiracy theories, but they are not true. Unfortunately, we are still trapped with a protestant world.

We are apes that evolved within a spiritual reality.

Different states of brain neurochemistry, better said then.

What do you mean as real or fake?

From what I understand is that there are certain states of brain neurochemistry different from the usual one every normie has, and people just tend to group those similar states of brain functioning into categories like "bipolar", and such.

Regarding MBTI, well I just see it as a way of categorizing people by archetypes. It is not so especial after all. Just patter recognition based on behaviour shape by avoidance of pain and chasing of pleasure.
