A thread hoping to discuss general semantics, consciousness, consciousness of abstracting linking it to alter states of consciousness and the possible next steps in a mode to get away from the general cliches.
‘Normal consciousness is the objective level of Korzybski’s structural differential the psychedelic experience is suddenly your in the parabola and it goes on for infinity, where the hell does this end? Jesus Christ it doesn't end! How the hell am I going to understand this there is too much there to be understood! That’s the process level Korzybski was talking about. Then you come down and you’re on the object level again but you don’t quite believe in it anymore. You have achieve what Korzybski called consciousness of abstracting or recognizing the relativity of your reality tunnel’
Robert Anton Wilson (57:44 minute):
