Careful that it isn't actually the self making that assertion. 🤷♂️ -
You make it up

Yeah, it's real, from what I've heard. Apparently dry ingredients like that are preferred as food in outer space, similar to peanut butter and all that jazz. Hmm, chocolate. -

You guys have a knack for turning insanity into a worldview or philosophy. Consciousness is not a mental breakdown. Instead of seeing "the work" - however you conceive of it - as a move from sanity to insanity, turn it around. Metaphorically speaking, you're currently "insane" (ignorant, deluded), and moving toward freedom and truth, or true "sanity." But don't take that too seriously. Drug states are just that - chemically-induced states. -

The only thing I want to marvel at is the nutella jar floating in the spaceship @Lucasxp64 Beautiful! -
It gives me a nice, calm focus boost. Way less jittery than coffee, in my experience. Much better alternative.

Yep. In any case it's worth trying to quit it for a while and see the effects. A couple of espressos are enough to mess up my day.

Can confirm. Quitting for a few weeks or months helps a lot in this regard, I've found. Exercising is also crucial.

Truthoosie - truth + oopsie

It's supposed to be a novel term, so refine it in a way that reflects a particular difference. Interpellation seems to be based on identity, whereas phantaclesis emphasizes more the act (or place, perhaps) of being called into fictitious worlds. This act comes from an impulse born within the individual, but the appealing fireworks are provided by an external source.

Phantaclesis (n.) - from phantasia + klesis (calling, summoning) The act of being called into a fantasy; the moment a seductive narrative or belief system begins recruiting you.

The trilogy, by the way, is available on PC via the OpenGoal project.

Not sure where else to post this, but since I hid my journal, I thought it would be nice to have this resource available somewhere on this forum: 🥰

Slow down. Breathe. -

Don't worry - they're not angry, they're insane. 😊 -
Here we go again conflating altered states of mind with becoming conscious, and making little worldviews out of them. Cool.

Such eloquence. -
I'll take the bait and say that, even though we like to think of ourselves as sovereign and independent, autonomous and self-enclosed, there are times when it is necessary to set aside one's ego and listen to professionals. I'm not saying this here is necessarily the case, but remember not to be arrogant in the sense of refusing much needed assistance when required. Don't let yourself get in the way of getting help from others when it is appropriate.

I opened my mind and ate rice pudding.
