Amazing that you can blow something so significant off so easily. This is literally the greatest crisis of our age (underlying nearly every other great crisis of our age.) while at the same time the most profound revelation of our psycho-spiritual humanity (down right magical, if you understand the implication of "worlds within worlds".)
While schizophrenia is certainly real (chemical imbalances triggering all manner of internal confusion), I speak of a truth that many also live with, for which you do no favor by your dismissal.
The signs are there and have always been there throughout history. Obviously without "inside knowledge" the layperson is hopelessly caught in this incomprehensible and isolating nightmare.
This truth can certainly trigger the crazy in anyone. For the bold few with insight, this is literally the precipice of life and humanity (our consciousness is spiritual technology.)
We are not alone in our own minds!
- airstrike 2y agoI assure you I am very much alone in my own mind
- illuminant 2y agoEnjoy it. Btw, can you sit quietly in a room for fifteen minutes, stilling the thoughts in your own mind?
- airstrike 2y agoPretty much, but even if I couldn't that would not prove a third party was inserting thoughts into my mind. To conclude as much would be a well known logical fallacy called "Denying the Antecedent"
- illuminant 2y agoI wasn't offering a mechanism of proof (your assumption) merely asking if you have spent the time to more deeply explore, or are you being casual with your awareness?
- airstrike 2y agoFair enough, my bad. I meditate on occasion, so I would say I have indeed sat alone (attempting to) still the thoughts in my mind.
- illuminant 2y agoThose who can control your mind "meditate" continually. Indefinitely. They literally create compartmentalized spaces in their own minds, through which they can "holographically" observe and manipulate the minds of others (even multiple others) with greater perceptual detail than the subject's mind can even perceive. As incomprehensible as that sounds, some can rummage through your memories without you even being aware that it is happening.
- airstrike 2y agoThe thing is, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I have no reason to believe any of that is real.
- illuminant 2y agoI give first hand account, take it or leave it, don't be a hater!
- airstrike 2y agoI'm not hating at all! I'm just saying testimony and evidence are not the same thing
- illuminant 2y agoI guess "don't be a hater" was more for the karma assassins. For every one person who voted up on this thread, two voted down! I don't criticize your skepticism, I criticize incredulity! That is, the refusal to believe.

- illuminant 2y agoThis may also be true. The human mind is very complex, particularly because it's main purpose appears to be simulation (well, maybe second to survival, though I think you might agree we simulate to future survive.) Additionally, our minds may network and the clues have always been there.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 2y ago> our minds may network Do you know of an exercise for an individual to practice this?
- koolala 2y agoI believe in Monads and the Monadology. I'm living best life and my life shouldn't effect yours. I think you probably agree with that sentiment and I am not trying to disagree with you - just discuss what I think after I personally read what you said.
- digging 2y ago> This is literally the greatest crisis of our age We have plenty of evidence for impending, rapid collapse of the global biosphere, and plenty of reason to be scared of AI advancement, and absolutely mounds of evidence that everything we ever do or say or feel is being ingested/analyzed by the largest and scariest organizations in the world. Each of these represents approximately existential risk to human civilization. Whatever it is you're discussing, are you sure your energy wouldn't be better spent on these issues that most people already agree are catastrophic?
