@Rafael Thundercat I see, must be where I’m coming from.

@Lila9 The real life consequences you mentioned might only pertain here until you wake from here and then it’s not so real anymore, much like a dream.

@Letho I’m not convinced that it is. We can both agree that actions have implications and consequences, but that’s just the rules or functionality of this reality, not proof that it’s real. If real is a word that eludes to a subjective comparison, what is that which is absolute? The thing that is irreducible. This is what I’m referring to when I say reality isn’t real. What is it based in?

@Leo Gura I see now, thank you.

@Leo Gura When you say MIND, what do you mean? I’m not sure why a MIND needs consistency to create a universe. To trick the ego perhaps?

@Leo Gura why is this reality so persistent? when I dream at night, it’s very different every time, but when I wake, I’m back to the same physical reality.

Why does physical reality feel so real if it’s not. Why is there a reaffirming thought that it is? Why do we wake up each morning placed in the same reality from the day prior? Same with the nature of others. When I see people out in public, they are always going about their day with no regard to what I’m thinking or experiencing. To me, it looks like they have meaningful lives that they are experiencing and living - am I wrong to think that?

Ta-da.

@Leo Gura Migrating over to YT…Thanks!

@Holykael nowhere or Now-here? If this is all a dream, are you saying I have no control over it at all, much like night dreams, with the exception of lucid dreaming?

If consciousness is all there is, and I am that, what aspect of Me is controlling the experience I have? a side question to that, can consciousness be manipulated for a specific experience?

@OBEler I’m getting it from a company called mind bloom. I believe that taken orally, it’s typically between 100mg-500mg depending on body weight. they only offer orally dissolvers, that you end up spitting out after 7minutes. not 100% sure which type of ketamine it is though.

Trying ketamine as a treatment for clinical depression that I’ve had for 10yrs. for those who’ve had it, anything I should expect? Starting with 400mg taken orally.

@Ulax I see the difference in IFST now. I’m intrigued and will look into it. Thanks

@Ulax I’ve never heard of family systems therapy, but I looked it up and it looks like a treatment that involves the whole family’s participation. I find it difficult in theory to get each member of a, what I would call a “toxic family” to admit, let alone participate in family therapy. In your example of the difference between a sweatshop worker and someone doing therapy in San Francisco, don’t they share the same goal in terms of mental health? The sweatshop worker will have more obstacles to overcome but don’t they both want a sense of freedom from negative emotions and feelings?
