Metarchidelic - the quality of revelation of the structures and processes

Example:

During my trip, I had a metarchidelic experience — I saw how my mind was shaping what I experienced.

Yeah, but be careful because I'm talking about something beyond just simple approval-seeking.

It seems you're projecting misunderstanding onto me again. The foundational insight was implied and I even described it: a frame-level mismatch where my non-participation destabilizes the other person’s identity through presence. Then I started adding the real-world mechanics on top of it:

• Gaze behavior
• Facial micro-signals
• Approval-seeking patterns
• Social expectations of mirroring
• Emotional interpretation of neutrality

Unless there's something I'm missing, other than fancy terminology.

It's not just a frame-level mismatch. Frame-level mismatches can happen at any stage of development. 

Here we specifically talking about a vertical out-framing. 

The verticality is the piece I didn't see in your description. 

If you did actually understand it, great. But this is a subtle point that I know people will get wrong, so I wanted to get out ahead of any misconceptions.

I don't see how the insight could exist without it. It’s implicit in everything I said. "Realness confronts unreality just by being in the room". that only makes sense if one frame sees through the other.

It's not specific enough from my perspective.

"Realness" does not necessarily imply verticality. "Seeing through a frame" does not necessarily involve verticality.

Verticality specifically involves integrating lower frames.

Solipsomnism:  The philosophy that everything is your dream.  “Null Simplex is a solipsomnist.”  “Solipsomnism is an unfalsifiable garbage philosophy.”-Physicalist
 

I suppose solipsism already assumes everything is your dream, but I think the usual way people think about solipsism is that the physical world is still real and other people and things still exist separate from you, but they have no real consciousness and are effectively philosophical zombies.  Essentially, your ego is the only real ego.  Idealism still allows for the idea that other people within your dream are still having their own subjective experience outside of your consciousness.  This term aims to combine these two ideas where everything in reality is your dream which you are experiencing right now.

Word:

(Self-)Cracktualization

Definition:

Cracktualization refers to a counterfeit or delusional form of self-actualization, in which an individual believes they are advancing in spiritual, psychological, or philosophical growth, while in reality they are compulsively consuming conceptual material—often from charismatic teachers, complex frameworks, or online content (like actualized.org) —that stimulates the ego rather than dissolving it. This consumption provides temporary intellectual highs ("ego hits" like from crack) but ultimately reinforces self-centered identity structures, produces fragmented understanding, and often leads to cognitive fragility ("cracks") rather than integrated wisdom.

What Cracktualization is NOT:

Genuine inner transformation

Embodied practice or realization

Humble, experiential wisdom

Grounded self-awareness cultivated through lived experience

Integration of mind, body, and action

What Cracktualization IS:

Addictive consumption of spiritual/philosophical content as an identity drug

Inflated self-image based on accumulated concepts

Intellectualization mistaken for realization

Online forum posturing and pseudo-sophisticated discourse detached from lived depth

Subtle avoidance of emotional, relational, and existential work

Usage Examples:

"He's been watching 6 hours of metaphysics videos a day but can’t hold a job or sustain a relationship — classic cracktualization."

"The forum is full of cracktualized debates where no one listens, but everyone thinks they've transcended ordinary minds."

"Cracktualization is the ego's last defense: hiding behind spiritual jargon while avoiding actual surrender."

Why this concept matters:

Clarifies a growing phenomenon: In an age of infinite online content, many seekers fall into intellectual hyper-consumption mistaken for personal growth.

Names a shadow pattern: It helps individuals recognize when they are bypassing real work by hiding behind complex ideas.

Protects the integrity of real development: By distinguishing authentic embodiment from conceptual inflation, it serves as a cautionary diagnostic for sincere practitioners.

Bridges multiple disciplines: The term holds value across spirituality, psychology, philosophy, and even political identity work, where "content addiction" masks underdeveloped maturity.

Your challenge is great @Leo Gura, when will we get an actualized dictonary?

Word:

Solipissed 

Definition:

Solipissed describes a psychological state in which a person reacts with emotional irritation, defensiveness, or hostility towards solipsism—not because they have successfully refuted it, but because they cannot fully dismiss its unsettling implications. The solipissed individual is emotionally threatened by the radical epistemic implications of solipsism (or similar radical idealist ontologies) and thus responds with anger, ridicule, or denial rooted in cognitive discomfort rather than sound logical argument. Their frustration paradoxically deepens the more they engage, like pissing into the wind—only to be sprayed by their own resistance (the emotional irritation intensifies with increasing realization of the fundamental truth behind solipsism).

What Solipissed is NOT:

A philosopher offering coherent, logically sound refutations of solipsism.

A person who accepts solipsism but dislikes it.

Playful or lighthearted engagement with solipsist arguments.

What Solipissed IS:

Emotional rejection of solipsism fueled by existential anxiety.

Projection of personal discomfort as supposed "logical" critique.

Hostile debates where personal bias masquerades as philosophical rigor.

Self-undermining arguments that unwittingly strengthen the solipsist position.

Escalating frustration as cognitive dissonance grows.

Usage Examples:

"Every time solipsism comes up, Dan gets solipissed — you can see the vein on his forehead pulsing."

"You're not refuting solipsism; you're just solipissed."

"Watching him get solipissed was like a live demonstration of cognitive dissonance."

"Ironically, the more he tried to disprove solipsism, the more solipissed he became."

Why this concept matters:

Names an unspoken emotional pattern: Many philosophical debates are driven by emotional resistance rather than pure logic. This term captures that precisely.

Diagnoses defensive cognition: It helps us recognize when arguments are motivated by existential discomfort rather than intellectual clarity.

Brings meta-awareness to discussion: Using this term invites a higher-order self-reflection in philosophical discourse, especially in topics that challenge identity, agency, and reality models.

Useful beyond solipsism: The structure of solipissed applies to many domains where people reject unsettling but logically resilient ideas.

Bonus Metaphor (for illustration):

Arguing against solipsism while solipissed is like trying to fight your own shadow — the more you thrash, the more entangled you become.

Blisstalgia

You feel nostalgic for your post-enlightenment level of consciousness.

There is a sense of nostalgia for your experiences at the level of consciousness you reached after enlightenment. You felt silence, bliss, completion.

Might not resonate with you, but I coined the term "energetic consciousness" for myself.

Energetic consciousness is an awareness of the driving forces behind you and an understanding of their dynamics.

The more I observe myself, the more I become conscious of what's actually driving me, how much I can actually influence it and how much I can just observe, how some driving forces are being uncovered with time, how the process of uncovering these forces works for me, how resistance works, what attitude works towards these driving forces vs what doesn't, and more. You see your own motivations better, but also start to see others' motivations more clearly as well. You gain clarity and, if the understanding is internalized, grace in your life. For me, life becomes more consciously-lived and meaningful in general. The term "energy" is not about some airy fairy bullshit - it's about the everyday motivations, why you do what you do, and how that comes about.

By understanding the dynamics of energy, you learn to operate well in life in general. Wise living ensues.

@Keryo Koffa Egology is great.

[trenton]

A term I made up a while back was "moral devilry."

Moral devilry refers to the use of morality to decieve, manipulate, control, or gain some other advantage over other people. It includes but is not limited to playing the victim, reversing victim and offender, using religious and moral appeals to silence victims, and many other methods of deception and manipulation such as rationalization through pseudo moral arguments or by misapplying various moral principles.

Here are some examples.

A dysfunctional family tells the family scapegoat to be the bigger person. This is often used to silence them by treating them like their objections to the abuse makes them the problem and is a form of guilt tripping and gas lighting.

DARVO is a manipulation method common in narcissism. When a narcissist is challenged on their inappropriate behavior they will act outraged and offended. They will deny your accusations and start attacking your moral character to claim you are a hypocrite full of double standards which is a projection. They will then claim that you are the offender by drawing false equivalency between minor offenses or mistakes and their behavior. They will claim they are the victim and they will do so convincingly enough to turn others against you. These flying monkeys will then pressure you to keep the peace for family harmony while the narcissist faces no consequences whatsoever.

Moral devilry includes excessive punishment for small mistakes. This is not about doing the right thing, it is about weaponizing morality to place undue shame on the victim while convincing them that the following abuse is deserved as punishment. This is often accompanied by smugness and a false sense of righteousness. The goal in this case is to find an excuse to cause harm or seek revenge.

Moral devilry can be found everywhere in life. It might include politicians making excuses for the harm they cause by emphasizing personal responsibility and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps while they actively make your life worse no matter how hard you try.

There are many pseudo moral obligations such as forgive and forget, turn the other cheek, a family should love each other, having kids makes you closer to God,  and so forth. Many of these apparent obligations are actually personal choices but they are framed in this way to manipulate you.

In my experience, I am easy to manipulate through morality because I have a strong moral compass. I therefore behave consistently and predictably and this indicates to my family that they can scapegoat me and make me take own undue responsibility. The more insecure you are about being a good person due to internalized shame, the easier you are to manipulate through pseudo moral appeals. This is tragically common in trauma survivors who might blame themselves for a sexually abusive situation. They develop crippled self worth and try to redeem themselves by being good. Therefore they are the perfect target for moral devilry, guilt tripping, and gaslighting.

A famous example of moral devilry might be using religion to justify terrible acts like slavery, genocide, or child abuse. It is easy to cherry pick whatever verses you want out of the Bible and then use it to control the social narrative and target a specific group of people. Those in power have a lot of incentives to manipulate these religious appeals to form a false persona of high integrity when in reality the Bible means nothing to them and they are just virtue signaling. 

I could go on forever with these examples,  but I hope you get what i mean by moral devilry. I actually have been using this term on my own for years.

@trenton Sounds like "Shamelessly Gaslighting Hypocritical Superiority Complex Weaponizing Ethos", in condensed terms.
Reminds me of master-slave morality, logical fallacies, false allegations, manipulation (toxic positivity (achievement society)).
Also status/power games, stages of ego development and societal gaslight of contemporary philosophers, pettiness and law.
The whole authoritarian spectrum superimposing ideologies due to inner insecurity projecting overcompensating control. So?

To me, it's a more universal cultural experience of having seen through religion, morality, rationalized inconsistencies, and arbitrary toxic cultural patterns as a kid and wondering "Clearly, there is a secret purpose behind all of this and a deeper reason why authoritarians and nonsense scriptures are followed so blindly... it would be ridiculous to assume I'm the only sane person in the world and that adults fight over petty dogmatic fairy tales", well... took me a long time to admit that maybe I was right and everyone around me was just stupid, even though I learned across layers why and how it would suit survival, role dispersal and societal homeostasis, the level of unawareness still overshadowed any type of justification to keep any of it up though, not knowing what to do about it either.

My flaw was being too introverted and avoiding to take responsibility for others by thinking, maybe if I manage to indoctrinate myself enough into this nonsense and lower my frequency, then at some point it will make sense and evolve on its own, though the only growth seems to come from stopping to care, else everything becomes quicksand.
