I would never give any advise of medical nature over the Internet nor would I ever trust any.
All I was saying is I can follow an online course and call myself a psychiatrist. Psychology is a real science.
I am not saying there aren't people with advanged tech screwing with your head but I believe Karl12 wasn't saying that either.

I can't find it anymore but there was a study showing that religious experience and psychotic episodes take place in the same part of the brain.
Since the psychiatric explanation that it's hormonal imbalance is... well at least 'unconfirmed' (to put it politely) I personally strongly feel this is kind of the smoking gun for an external stimuli to be the root cause for both.
But say that publicly and your life is basically over.

Been there, done that, so I fully understand.
But in days long gone and in some still semi-original tribes, a sort of induced 'trip'/psychotic-episode was part of growing up or initiation rite.
To have at least one episode is totally normal I think, some people just rationalise it into a religious experience, mid-life-crisis, spiritual enlightenment, occult curiousity etc.
There are a lot of examples coming to mind, most famously probably Jim Carrey

I don't know, honestly but the brain appears to be more a relay station than the bridge (on a ship).
I mean there are organisms making 'smart' decisions who don't have a brain. The human urge to look for a centralised 'commando-unit' is probably one of the great follies and the thoughts are most likely more a concert of all the consciousness-carrying-cells that form you.
Just my 2cents

I was hugging a really tall guy with closed eyes and saw my hand patting his back as if I was sitting on his shoulder.
Same thing. See? I told you I understand what you're talking about.

Haha, must be weird.
I think my weirdest experience was when time and ofcourse movement was slowed down, other people didn't seem to notice, it would look like if someone would try to beat me I would have a lil bit more time to defend it because it comes in slower.
That 'energy' also made me go slower but I could go normal speed if I did some effort, it was not hard to overcome that grip on you.
And I was riding with my scooter and I saw cars 'gliding' like they were on ice and I was going faster than the cars and the thing that checks your speed you see next to the road said I was going 90. Weird as #, but I enjoyed that vibration and that downtempo pace, ofcourse it would get weird but if we would be used to it, we would have more time to react to accidents, you know what I mean, it was more harmonious, even though it's really weird, I didn't feel bad I actually felt good...

Worse than any virus. What happens when everybody is crazy ?
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

I'm just an amateur but people seemed to enjoy this one, it's my only creative hobby but it's the best thing what came to me.
I've reached a point where it actually sounds like a song, but still so much to learn, and most of it I just don't understand lol.
Music and 'sound' is pretty complicated.
