Well, some very werid things have been happening to me the past week. Things that don't seem possible. My reality has been changing, and I've learned how to control it. It's a great ability. Well, it all started one night when I was reading something about lucid dreaming. It touched upon things like, "Nothing really exists," and the sort. And I started to think of that ageless thought of, "What if I'm just dreaming?" It hit me: We can control our own reality in our minds. I mean, why not? We can do it with drugs. Why can't we train ourselves to do it with our own mind power? So, I started to experiment. I started really slowly. Making myself see pictures that weren't there. Things like that. I'm to the point now where, in my mind, I can place a penny on my desk, pick it up, and flick it in the air. The penny never really exists in space and time, but it exists in my mind. And that's sufficient enough to be real to myself. I realized, I'm turning into a schizophrenic, but one with a remote control; I can control my schizophrenic episodes. It's really great, and I plan on continuing more and more. I just wanted to see what everyone here thought about all this.
Really? Hmm... I wonder what my activities doing this would be classified. Maybe just letting my imagine run really wild; but, hey, it works for me. I'm going to get high later and do it. If I bet correctly, it will make it that much more easier.
You know what's funny is that in my mind, I can see literally millions of things that I just can't bring into my field of vision much less any other senses. But I can see many different things in my mind's eye; maybe if I experiment more with LSD I'll be able to bring those images out and fabricate them into my sense of reality. It's a really fucked up thought, but I imagine it's possible.
Don't pin me as crazy. But, I can kind of understand what he means... when I'm high I meditate a lot, and go deep in thought, and dream, and what not.. Sometimes I confuse those worlds.. but, thats what you get when fucking with your concious and subconious.
i think your not quite understanding the point of schizophrenia. one of the main atributes of being skitz is that you CANT control it. because if you could, then you wouldnt be schitzophrenic. all you have is a good imagination. and thats all it is. some poeple have better imaginations than others. it is part of certain meditations and taichi like exercises to imagine objects into your own reality. and meditation isnt absense of mind, its more the detatchment of mind from the environment. changing reality but only in your mind. so seg, your not schitzophrenic until you start seeing thgins and beleiving thigns that actually arent there. its part of the definition of being schitzophrenic. youve jsut got a good imagination, be happy because some poeple have shit imaginations.
