Pretty good, I guess? =D I really can't, not even close. Apparently that's called "aphantasia".

Oh my god, congrats man! That's exciting. :) Not sure if I'll ever experience it, myself.
 
I know I would be. Just don't know if it's in the cards. My girlfriend doesn't want kids and I don't see that changing, and I'm planning to be on the road with the band a lot for the foreseeable future. Not really a very good situation to have a kid in (the band life). I'm not willing to give that up at this time. Maybe one day, who knows how things will shake out? I'm 38 though so I'm not that young.

yeah sound like challenging circumstances for having a child. well at least half of it is due to you wanting to go after your dream at least. maybe you'll figure it out.

Do you guys ever check out the whole world of mainstreaming/capitalizing psychedelics? A lot of stuff's been changing quickly. There are all these things like bespoke $12000 luxury "spiritual retreats" with guided "shamanistic medicine sessions". Tons of conferences, it seems like everyone's writing a book about psychedelics. Lots of practitioners with dubious qualification.

I've sort of hoped for this day when psychedelics become more mainstream and accessible, but now that it's starting to happen I feel a bit like a grumpy old man yearning for the days when it was more cyberpunk and not so intertwined with the self-improvement industry. I think I just need to get over it, this is exactly what I was hoping for. It's not like it's taking anything away from the more wild + underground side of it.

I think it's great it's becoming more accepted but allot of those practices really sketch me out both due to their unprofessional practices and their for profit motivation.

I actually had a good conversation about this topic with my psychologist.

We sort of are living in a cyber punk world now just the tech isn't as cool as in the anime, novels, and movies but still causes all the same government and social problems they contained.

 
My girlfriend is 2 years sober from alcohol tomorrow, she's been really proud of herself lately or so I thought.. Just came home and she's belligerently drunk out of control debating whether to send her to the drunk tank. I can't deal with it or be anywhere near it. I don't want to yell and scream and that's inevitably where it's going to go o_Oo_O

If you close your eyes and imagine a red star, which image do you guys see?
I'm a definite 0 lol, I wonder how common this is

believe it or not I can see 6

ever since my tryptamine schizo break I have gained the ability to physically see whatever is in my mind's eye

however it's not stationary, the star I see is sort of amorphous and moving with the saturation going in and out

I seem to be able to send data into my visual cortex from other parts of my brain instead of my eyes

Also interestingly, I can really only see blue, red and green while doing this. The other colors like yellow I can't really see that well.

most who previously touched the psychedelics realm can translate visualisations.

I'm also a 1. There are times I can see clearly in my mind's eye, but those times generally involve psychedelics or dissociatives.

yeah my brain kinda got stuck that way

what I see is most similar to psychedelic CEVs, vision without your eyeballs, it's like a projection onto the black canvas - not a thought (or sometimes connected to thoughts).

indeed, but I pushed it too far man, or maybe my brain is fragile
 
Snafu of the Forest said:
wow that's actually a cool way to describe psychedelic CEVs I just thought of - It's like the most beautiful film projected onto the back canvas of your closed eye lids, like personal IMAX theater :)

What you are describing sounds much more like the things I see in alcohol withdrawal. Those are like movies and very realistic. I try not to look at them because it seems to make it worse when I do.

When I'm on psychedelics and close my eyes I am seeing all kinds of morphing, shifting patterns and other 3d morphing objects. Colors, mosaics. It's very different. Always in motion.
 
I think I'm a 3-4 weird stuff.

Well she surrendered the booze bottles, she was screaming initially but I talked her down. Shame is why she started acting irate. She had gotten through a Mickey and a half of rum starting from this morning, I'm glad she didn't get through the second one. Trying to tell me she isn't that drunk but just tried to put panties on over top of her pants.


She wants to take some acid now, I'm pretty on board for it but I hope we can get into the serious side if things with it at least for a little while. She hadn't been to a meeting in 6 months and said she is going to go to one Monday.

Sorry for unloading my thoughts in here, when I type my thoughts/ problems out things seem more manageable.

Hmm. There is definitely a difference between typical psychedelic CEVs and things like my hypnagogic/schizo hallucinations, however I would still describe both as a projection onto a black screen.

Also, hallucinations I've had during acute alcohol WDs I would describe closer to my schizo hallucinations, different from psychedelics for sure.

The other hallucinations I get are constantly in motion as well.
