"In others, we can’t possibly separate observer and information, it’s all entangled."
Great article - thanks for writing it. :)
Have you looked into quantum mechanics by any chance? Quantum entanglement was called 'spooky action at a distance' by Mr Einstein - we barely understand entanglement scientifically currently, but what you have described occurring between Hans Berger & his sister is textbook entanglement. Our physicists have only reached tardigrades in the lab - how long till they begin looking into how entanglement manifests at human scales and in human lives?
Oh yeah, that shit's real. "I do not need any psychedelics"-- I remember my college roomies telling me about their LSD trips. The colors, man. The patterns. The shinies. Everything's so meaningful. Love is all you need.
Barf out, gag me with a spoon.
This was the first time it had really hit me that all that *extra* crap I see all the friggin time that nobody talks about... other people take drugs to experience that shit. On purpose. It was one of the most depressing revelations I've ever had. The only thing different about getting there with drugs is that if you goose that experience with a little euphoria, suddenly you think it all *means* something. Ponderous, man. This ramen holds the meaning of the universe or some shit because I've tweaked my serotonin receptors. Uh, sure man. Whatever.
What gets me is that whether you got there with chemicals, or you're just there all the time... this is historically normal for humans. What is all that stuff? Why do we see it? What's it *for*? Like, how did we get this far down the historical line and not have a manual for it? Did we used to know what it was for, and the Age of Reason trashed that intel? Did people used to know what to do with it? Assuming that whole evolutionary selection thing is legit, no heritable trait survives without conferring some kind of survival benefit... but even though I come from a whole family of them, there doesn't seem to be any material benefit to it, and it seems to produce a high quotient of weirdos, oddballs, and eccentrics, and a low number of offspring.
What's it FOR? Where's the instruction manual? What can/should you do with it?
I mean, combing through the past, I'd bet money a very, very high percentage of tile and wallpaper designers were like this. But I can't imagine that being a trait that survives the eons, you know?
this was so fun to read!! "I’m not saying material life isn’t a thing. I drink H20 and shit entropy like the rest of the species." ded

I can't believe I just stumbled across this post.

Amazing article!! Your rant reminded me of what Graham Hancock said... That we're ignoring whole dimensions of consciousness in the study of the mind.
I want to live in ThetaLand but alas, I am trapped in BetaGhetto. Thanks for the head scratch.
the catalogue search for diaries thing is *so cool* - would love to hear more stories about what that's turned up
