I am an insane hypochondriac with psychosomatic disorder, I literally cannot tell if I'm suffering from illness or not, bible verses for this feel?

the milky way is our galaxy and its name is not a coincidence (nothing is). we value milk as we suckle the breast of our mothers as young. we conceive of our galaxy as being milky because milk is our first conception of sustenance.

Dude.
Let's take a look at the link YOU posted earlier. Are you telling me you posted me something you didn't even bother to read? You wouldn't do that, would you Anon, just post about something you didn't even read?

"From the earliest reception, commentators have noted the value Nietzsche places on individuality and on the independence of the “free spirit” from confining conventions of society, religion, or morality (e.g., Simmel [1907] 1920). This strand of thought continues to receive strong emphasis in recent interpretations—see, e.g., Nehamas (1985), Thiele (1990), Gerhardt (1992), Strong ([1975] 2000: 186–217), Reginster (2003), Richardson (2004: 94–103), Anderson (2006, 2012a), Higgins (2006), Schacht (2006), Acampora (2013), and the essays in Young (2015)—and there is an impressive body of textual evidence to support it (UM III, 2, 5–6, 8; GS 116, 117, 122, 143, 149, 291, 335, 338, 347, 354; BGE 29, 41, 259; GM I, 16, II, 1–3; TI IX, 41, 44, 49; A 11). Salient as Nietzsche’s praise of individuality is, however, it is equally obvious that he resists any thought that every single human person has value on the strength of individuality alone—indeed, he is willing to state that point in especially blunt terms: “Self-interest is worth as much as the person who has it: it can be worth a great deal, and it can be unworthy and contemptible” (TI IX, 33). Scholars have advocated quite different explanations of what makes a person’s individuality valuable in the privileged cases. Some hold that certain given, natural characteristics that admit no (or not much) further explanation entail that some individuals are “higher men” manifesting genuine value, whereas others have no such value—Leiter (2002) offers a strongly developed naturalistic version of this approach—whereas others take the ”true” or “higher self” to be a kind of ideal or norm to which a person may, or may not, live up (Conant 2001; see also Kaufmann [1950] 1974: 307–16). Still others attempt to develop a position that combines aspects of both views (Schacht 1983: 330–38), or hold that Nietzsche’s position on the “overman” or “higher man” is simply riven by internal contradiction (Müller-Lauter [1971] 1999: 72–83)."

>Why can’t /lit/ solve this?
/lit/ can’t solve it because it’s irrefutable. You can apply the problem itself to any solution found for it. Any appeal to intuition made alongside a criticism of it is self-damning, because you’d be abandoning rationality to defend rationality. Even if you were to give up justificationism in favor of critical rationalism, you couldn’t have beliefs. Why? Because you can’t use the lack of criticism for something to justify your own personal belief in it, as you’ve abandoned justification. The only valid solutions to the trilemma are to:
1. Accustom yourself to faith.
or
2. Abandon knowledge.
All else fails.

This is good as a Kabbalistic interpretation, but I adhere to a schizo-Gnostic interpretation myself (similar to the one you discount). It’s too out-there for most on this board though, guess I’ll have to publish some weird book about it anonymously. Basically a Zechariah-Sitchin type situation where lots of ancient mythological texts are the distorted accounts of humanity’s interaction with extraterrestrial races, and the “serpent” and “Satan” etc. were references to a reptilian race. The God of the Old Testament is not the true God who pervades the universe, but simply a more advanced humanoid race (“Let us make man in our image”) who possibly engineered/created man and then ruled him, convincing him that they were literally talking to their God (which, in some sense, they may’ve been). The “serpent giving them to eat of the tree of good and evil” was a reptilian giving them secret teachings/gnosis/“raising their kundalini”, and the False God was of course quite angry over their slave-race now having a heightened consciousness.

Remember the caduceus from Hermeticism? Or Moses being instructed to wrap a serpent around a pole in the Book of Numbers 21:8-9?

8 And the Lord said to Moses, “Make a poisonous[c] serpent, and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten shall look at it and live.” 9 So Moses made a serpent of bronze, and put it upon a pole; and whenever a serpent bit someone, that person would look at the serpent of bronze and live.

This imagery is strikingly similar to Indian conceptions of kundalini yoga, where two channels (called “ida” and “pingala”) twist around the spine. This energy is also sometimes called “coiled serpent energy” or made synonymous with “serpent” in some Indian writings. And guess who the “Naga”s are in ancient Indian mythology? It’s a word for a semi-divine reptilian-humanoid race of beings, and one Naga in the Indian epic the Mahabharata is named “Kunda,” by the way.

And look at the Kabbalistic Tree of Life itself. It’s superimposed over the body and said to correspond to different parts of the body, just like the chakras in the Indian yogic systems. The two opposing pillars of the Tree are said to represent opposite polarities, just like “ida” and “pingala” have opposite polarities. The correspondence may not be exact, of course, but it’s an interesting parallel nonetheless. Now what do you get when you combine the Kabbalistic Tree of Life with a kundalini serpent energy? You get a tree wrapped around a snake as in a lot of Christian iconography, a tree and a snake leading to “enlightenment” or the “opening of one’s eyes to good and evil.”

Do we perceive color differently? Is my "green" actually your "red"?

>What is a collector?
A collector is a person who creates a sanctum for their personality reflected through items and objects that they fancy. Too inept to converse with others about themselves, let alone converse about themselves to themselves, they create a proxy platform from which they can jump start surface level conversations of their underdeveloped id. People who see this, exploit it. They create these tethers to which idlets attach themselves to and at every possible chance, create conflict that swirls around this axiom of personality enforcement. Confined to the 2nd plane, unable to grasp the straws of 3rd spatial dimension, these people prop their kin and self in a fugue state, in hopes that their reigned what ought becomes the tetherless what is. Think of this, what moves the boulder forward? The essence or the by-product? Exactly. The outer sphere dictates their inner sphere, unable to break the bubble of self-confinement, they are in a prison of their own making, the sow surrounded by red string. In extreme cases, the self forfeits all agency and fall in a perpetual limbo of qualitative negativity and a new self-defense mechanism is introduced. The word of power of pushing the other to subscribe to the mother role and make the agents give up control and amalgamate with the abstract society to dig themselves out of the hole they've willingly gone into.
The tautological self-affirmation becomes the dissident proxima of actualization, unground flips over itself and a phantom host takes control. Dawn of tabula rasa, the mindful surrounded by rancor of nous embodies the canonical heroes donned in garbs of oppressor. Paint of greed departing from the brush of want, fills the innocent with content. Exodus of self priori invites the corrupted qualia to accentuate the faux-virility of surroundings. Like an inexperienced stalker in the room, als ob leads to death of self. Bull surrounded by walls, the orb of essence radiating the hermeneutic vision of the past, present and future. Only one goal in mind, self-destruction with the want to understand more. Thread of void woven into the tapestry of being, it all comes undone. What comes? Essential inconstant is rocked, he who provides, jumps into the same pit of ontological darkness where the innocent resides.
