Thanks man, I enjoyed that. I spent a few years on KPG and left recently. It served me very well and I'm grateful for my time there. I recovered from burnout and am now slowly rentering society. Just finished a book on sobriety, even. In my view the neuro-divergent are just shaman types. They take on the ills and suffering of society because they feel it in the extreme. They isolate and heal themselves--as they must because there are no other options--then return to the tribe to heal others. You are your own shaman. That's the point.
Dude been in Thailand 1year and you are spot on with what I experience .. my dark side and healing side very prominent and I actively chose healing .. this parallel universe to where I'm from escaping social norms forever I am free and thankful to Thailand
A courageous expression about the path to yourself. And to the breathtaking backdrop of Ko Phangan, one of the best places on Earth. I have watched your music video. I wish more people were as honest as you are. Including myself. I hope you will find peace and happiness. Much love to you!
It's a weight off the shoulders to be here and look back at Europe, but daunting to know what i have to go back to. It's oppressive there now in many ways.
I really recommend Vipassana meditation in the tradition of S. N. Goenka for a difficult but pure method to learn more about yourself at a very deep level. There are centers in Thailand where they put on the courses.
Awesome, Erik. I think you're a great and interesting example of someone flourishing by meeting yourself as you are. I couldn't do without folks like you (and I'm probably kinda one lol); the world would be at a loss 💞💪. Lez go! :-)
@ that’s a bold comment and you know what, you are probably right. I was brought up in new age by very narcissistic parents. I’m now 49. It’s taken me my whole life to try and heal from the various types of abuse I suffered for years on end. I’ve done well considering… Just so much to sort through.
Insightful thought and makes me realize why I feel so good when Im here in Thailand compared to back in the west. Havent thought about it this way. Im on the AS
Thank you so much for expressing something I been dealing with but couldn't find right way to say it. I just got to Bangkok to start my journey, hopefully I make my way up Koh phangan. Keep living a magical life 👍🏻
At the very root it's all childhood trauma, unmet needs and unprocessed emotions my friend. Polyvagal Theory holds the answers, forget about the leaves and pull out the roots!
Leaving your own society to escape social norms is a pretty novel thing to do. Most people aren't so interested in doing this, so a lot of the people who do it tend to be on the "neurodivergence spectrum", so to speak.
this video is a prime example of why you should not take too many psychoactive substances.
And think you know it all about psychology. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Oh I think you’ll find that asia is a lot more oppressive. Contrary to tourists beliefs.
I was just there and I didn't find this to be the case. So many neurotypical, charismatic, beautiful, party guys from aus and Europe.
How do you know they were neurotypical? Did you ask them all as you can’t see it in someone just by looking. Unless you are the same.

Very very insightful. New age and various spiritual practices are full of these types of people.
Narcissists your mean? That’s what new age “spirituality” is really about.

As a person going to Thailand soon, I was just wondering about that. Very insightful, thanks.

It’s just escapism. Wherever he runs to his mind will still be there.

You have great energy. Im not a hippie.

How has it come to be that the word Divergent is OK but to deviate is bad?
