@Inliytened1 @Joseph Maynor Wtf are you two guys doing 🙂‍↕️

Link?

Kindergarteners too. It's just in this case, they are wrong. Schizophrenia is not just a "Western" disease. Was that hostile? 😱 Sounds a bit paranoid if you ask me 😛

I believe Sadhguru said something like: "if you speak to God, you're a mystic. If God talks back, you're a schizophrenic". No, the schizophrenics get cast out there too. It's the schizotypals (schizophrenia-lite) that get to be the shamans. The schizotypals are wacky enough that they can use their powers in certain settings but can turn it off and act normal enough to not be a serious problem when it's not needed. A subreddit filled with psychotic people is your source of information, yes, sounds very reasonable.

Then take a benzo when you're not anxious and you'll see what I mean. (I think I only have experience taking it together with weed; it made the weed experience more... chill. Interestingly, it also seemed to cancel out at least some of the time dilation effect).

That's not a cult, they're having a good time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My guy, I didn't order these dreams. And the dreams were again seemingly or likely temporally parallel to the real life events, so I was not getting an edge on anybody else in that sense (the edge was "spatial"). There is an idea that the ego and also sensory input (and the latter gets virtually shut off in dreams) closes one off to psychic effects. When you remove the filtering on reality (be it the ego or sensory inputs), or the noise/distractions, you start to become susceptible to such influences.

A dog (probably) wouldn't be eating fruit from a medicine-blue plastic bag either 🐶

So literally pure psychic phenomena. Reality is, your mind and its ideas influences your actions both consciously and subconsciously. It influences what you focus on, what you find relevant, salient, etc. If you entertain an idea in your mind and focus on it a lot, it will influence your life in some way, even if you think you're just being passive and not truly acting on it. Because you're always acting, you can't stop acting, and what influences your actions? Your mind. I think the lesson of manifestation is that there is no true divide between mind and matter and that you get more of what you focus on.

Not long ago I was on a ferry in the lounge and I opened a thin medicine-blue plastic bag I had gotten from somebody I was travelling with to get a fruit, and as I started eating it, I started smelling sunscreen, and then I started tasting it too. So I smelled inside the bag and it smelled of sunscreen, so I thought the plastic bag must have contained a sunscreen bottle at some point and that it spilled. So I told them about this and they were like "no, we smell it too, somebody who smells like sunscreen just entered the room we're sitting in". And then I smelled the plastic bag again and then the air and it all made sense. I had so many converging lines of sensory input and evidence, the timing, etc., such a plausible story, that I was completely convinced that there was sunscreen inside the plastic bag, but the sunscreen was instead just in the air. The lesson here again is we ground our reality in exactly these kinds of criteria: convergence of senses and other evidence, timing, "other people's reports / their sensory inputs" (which persuaded me in the other direction again), etc. And of course, we can be wrong about our conviction even if it feels real. But this isn't limited to psychic phenomena, obviously. You can be wrong about what you think is physical reality. Your belief in "the physical" doesn't save you from being wrong.

I mean, I get it, but also, that's like, your opinion, man. "Tranquilizer drugs", do they make you tranquil?

Wtf even is the question. "What is chill?". Tranquility is a fancy word for being chill, perhaps in a sort of distinctive intoxicated way, like sedation, but perhaps without being cognitively diminished. Calm, in a sort of softly euphoric, subtly blissed kind of way, but clearminded. That is just my feeling of the word. "Tranquilizer drugs" like benzodiazepines probably come some of the closest (maybe not coincidentally because of the name).

Being chill.

Bernardo says the statistical significance they use at CERN to claim they have found a new particle, when those same kinds of scientists read psi research, they dismiss the same statistical significance with ironically the same thinking as "law of big numbers" ("in randomness you can find any pattern"). These are again epicycle 'hypotheses', clearly bogus defenses that are contradictory with their very own standards of determining what is real.

Who knows what that could be. But what would be truly impressive is if you saw that exact spider eating that exact bee in your dream at the exact same time as it was happening in real life.
