Simply Unheard Of

Also, I have a lot of derealization, and a slight amount of depersonalisation.

One common description is like "living in a dream." Maybe thats because we are, in a sense. Our reality is defined by our subjective view of reality.

EXACTLY!!!

You got that already, huh? Good job... you must be a smartypants!

I sometimes think of my life in 2 main epochs... BP and AP... Before Psychedelics and After Psychedelics. After my very first strong-enough-to-matter psychedelic experience, the "living in a dream" concept that everything we believe is defined by our subjective perceptions and thus we are in a real sense "living in a dream" was obvious to me.

After that, I could never go back. I am now forever aware that EVERYTHING I perceive is essentially a very complex detailed cartoon constructed by certain areas of my brain for the purpose of my survival and spreading of my genes. But not necessarily a completely accurate representation of "reality", whatever the hell that might be... :D
 
You both need to understand that I completely agree with the outlook on the world you guys are spewing. I do psychedelics too yknow :O

It's already known that time isn't static and inorganic. Law of One, Tao Te Ching. Everything is subjective and ego is the stimulus to human life. Hell even Joe Rogan is onto the same stream of consciousness.

Thats what 2012 is all about. A shift in consciousness known by the Ancients and Masons.

Still need to know when you're losing your connection from reality. You can't go around saying what you perceive is the only fact etc.

I obviously get where you guys are coming from and trying to say that nothing is static etc, but still take a break from the psyches it's also your mind stressing out thus leaving you in that altered state of consciousness.

+_+
 
Well im stressed from other shit not psychadelics.
And like i said, i see this as an oppurtunity.


What is this shift in consciencenouss you're talking about? Where can i learn more about it?

yeah i always had a much more cynical interpretation of it. more like i used to live life in 320 kbps but since drug use has destroyed a number of neurons that contribute to the transfer of informationto my brain i now live in 280 kbps. since my brain is still expecting to recieve 320 kbps, my brain just makes up the extra 40 kbps sortof like a phantom limb but a phantom neuron.
i always just assumed it had to do with dammage to the GABA or Acetylcholine neurotransmission systems on top of dammage to one or all of the big 4 systems(Ep, NE, SE, & DO)
but since in reality, you are creating the signals, you can choose to add in or create what ever you want using reality as a your canvas.
so your living your life, but with the control of these phantom nervous signals, you can either enhance or agument any of the input data that is used to create your "dreamspace."

i always thought of it as dangerous though, to refer to it as a "dream," remembering the deranged man from the Cowboy Bebop movie who was "entrapped within a dream" and what happened to him.

i do however wonder what role, IF ANY, octopamine might play in situations like this. according to sources from wikipedia, "In vertebrates, octopamine replaces norepinephrine in sympathetic neurons with chronic use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors." Being that many drugs happen to be monoamine oxidase inhibitors, it is possible drug use may cause NE to be replaced by octopamine.

^Huh? Guess I shoulda put a smiley after that... wasnt trying to be degrading at all, actually being genuinely complimentary but decided to phrase it in a somewhat cutsie manner. Careful not to be hypersensitive.
 
^ No worries -- just wanted you to be able to share your insight without turning off potential listeners, as I do think you have a lot to offer. Apparently I just misperceived. :)
