you need to find the relationship between things; we're in a giant interconnected system of stuff that goes from objects measured in planck lengths to the largest objects in the cosmos; these relationships are dynamic and defy easy categorization, but the interaction between A and B is more interesting and important than rigidly defining either. Sometimes I feel like people with brains wired to try and box everything into rigid category are really not capable of fully understanding reality; at least not in their current life.

I accidentally took a double dose of Seroquel once and it provided me with the most unsettling and terrifying sleep experience of my life. I was having a nightmare that my partner was standing at the back of the house, looking through our back windows, and pointing, looking horrified. There was something out there and she was just screaming and crying out. I ran to her yelling "what's happening, what's happening?" and as I looked outside I saw a dark figure I can't really describe, other than it was a man shaped thing, but not a man. And it was coming for us. I woke up standing up in our bedroom to my absolutely horrified partner who was crying and visibly shaken, because I had gotten out of bed and started walking around, with my eyes open, but completely vacant, and yelling "what's happening" over and over again. It took me like a half hour to calm her down. Anyway be careful about your med doses kids!

Out of curiosity, do any of you have experience with geomancy? If so, are there any books you might recommend on the topic? Not particularly picky about practice or framework.

The Demilich posted:Why do you keep buying accounts? It would be nice if people would stop giving them attention, as the attention clearly feeds into their mental illness. And, to be clear, no shade on the mentally ill, as I am one myself. However, any interaction with them is just going to encourage whatever delusion they've built in their mind about this place and the people here. It's not going to produce something funny and it isn't going to make them stop, it's just a sad situation.

LITERALLY A BIRD posted:thank you I appreciate the thread's book recommendations about the Right Hemisphere and A Thousand Brains, although I admit to sharing the skepticism about a seeming over-emphasis of the brain's relevance and control over our experiences. It's a powerful part of our bodies... but I believe it's exactly that, a part of our bodies, a piece of the whole. Not separate or standing above like a ruler. But I like that one of them connects consciousness to gestures, that sounds promising. If I have the chance I will read them with an open mind and heart, and see what I can find. Thank you. I wanted to recommend a book myself, while we're on the topic, especially to those of you who have mentioned exploring with mushrooms: Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake. I think the description does a great job summing up why it's so interesting, but I'll post a few of my favorite passages from it too. Description: "When we think of fungi, we probably think of mushrooms. But mushrooms are only fruiting bodies, analogous to apples on a tree. Most fungi live out of sight, yet make up a massively diverse kingdom of organisms that support and sustain nearly all living systems. The more we learn about fungi, the less makes sense without them. Sheldrake’s mind-bending journey into this hidden world ranges from yeast to psychedelics, to the fungi that sprawl for miles underground and are the largest organisms on the planet, to those that make all plant life possible, to those that infiltrate and manipulate insect bodies with devastating precision. Fungi throw our concepts of individuality and even intelligence into question. They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and even help us remediate environmental disaster. By examining fungi on their own terms, Sheldrake reveals how these extraordinary organisms – and our relationships with them – are changing our understanding of how life works." quote:A mycelial network is a map of a fungus's recent history and is a helpful reminder that all life-forms are in fact processes not things. The "you" of five years ago was made from different stuff than the "you" of today. Nature is an event that never stops. As William Bateson, who coined the term genetics, observed, "We commonly think of animals and plants as matter, but they are really systems through which matter is continually passing." When we see an organism, from a fungus to a pine tree, we catch a single moment in its continual development. quote:In the case of Ophiocordyceps, an infected ant's behavior can be thought of as fungal behavior. The death grip, summit disease -- these are extended characteristics of the fungus, part of its extended phenotype. Can the alterations in human consciousness and behavior brought about by psilocybin mushrooms be thought of as an extended phenotype of the fungus? The extended behavior of Ophiocordyceps leaves an imprint on the world in the form of fossilized scars on the undersides of leaves. Can the extended behavior of psilocybin mushrooms be thought of as leaving an imprint in the world in the form of ceremonies, rituals, chants, and the other cultural and technological outgrowths of our altered states? Do psilocybin fungi wear our minds, as Ophiocordyceps and Massospora wear insect bodies? quote:Horses and humans remains separate organisms, as do plants and mycorrhizal fungi, but both are echoes of an ancient tendency for organisms to associate. The anthropologists Natasha Myers and Carla Hustak argue that the word evolution, which literally means "rolling outward", doesn't capture the readiness of organisms to involve themselves in one another's lives. Myers and Hustak suggest that the word involution--from the word involve--better describes this tendency: a "rolling, curling, turning inward." In their view, the concept of involution better captures the entangled pushing and pulling of "organisms constantly inventing new ways to live with and alongside one another." It was their tendency to involve themselves in the lives of others that enabled plants to borrow a root system for fifty million years while they evolved their own. Today, even with their own root systems, almost all plants still depend on mycorrhizal fungi to manage their underground lives. Their involuntary tendencies enabled fungi to borrow a photosynthesizing alga to handle their atmospheric affairs. They still do. Mycorrhizal fungi are not built into plant seeds. Plants and fungi must constantly form and reform their relationships. Involution is ongoing and extravagant: By associating with one another, all participants wander outside and beyond their prior limits.

The brain is like a filter that takes in dream stuff, and pumps out seemingly separate experiences. There is a reality "out there" that we perceive, but it's just you. Like when you dream at night, you create a whole world with people and things and events going on and simultaneously localize yourself within said dream, then you also convince yourself (typically) that you are awake in a world of things and happenings with people that you believe aren't you. This is all done on the fly by you when you go into REM. The universe is like that, but far, far grander. We're all simultaneously the dreamer and the dreamed world/it's contents. We localize ourselves into these minds and then get habituated into believing that we are these bodymind complexes rather than that which is the source and witness of all of them.

"Process Theism," Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy posted:As we have seen, in process theism, the Divine is responsible for the laws of nature and these laws determine the limits of non-divine creativity. Whitehead and Hartshorne deny, however, that God could create actual entities devoid of creative activity. Moreover, developmental and evolutionary categories are central to their thinking. It is contrary to process philosophy to imagine God with the ability to create a fully grown man or woman who did not grow to adulthood from having been a child. One’s being actual is inseparable from one’s having become actual (Hartshorne 1941, 233–234).
