  1. After 363 Hemi-Sync sessions (215 hours), something shifts. Not enlightenment. Just remembering where you've always been.

    Why YouTubers delete their channels. Why "rationality" is the new Roman Emperor. And why the wrong question is "Is this real?"

    German madness? Maybe.

  12. I'm sitting in the last of this day's spring sunshine, waiting at a junction; and the sun was such I snapped a few shots before it were gone for the night .. later I decided that a neon vibe would add drama & made "adjustments" to get images thus .. #photography #neon #aesthetic #drama #otherworld #vibe #urbanphotography #nightphoto #dream #road #alteredstates

  13. #time #AlteredStates

    "The sudden shock of an accident may disrupt our normal psychological processes, causing an abrupt shift in consciousness. In sport, intense altered states occur due to what I call 'super-absorption.'

    Absorption normally makes time pass faster — as in flow, when we are absorbed in a task. But when absorption becomes especially intense, over a long period of sustained concentration, the opposite occurs, and time slows down radically.

    Altered states of consciousness can also affect our sense of identity, and our normal sense of separation between us and the world. As the psychologist Marc Wittmann has pointed out, our sense of time is closely bound up with our sense of self.

    We usually have a sense of living inside our mental space, with the world 'out there' on the other side. One of the main features of intense altered states is that sense of separation fades. We no longer feel enclosed inside our minds, but feel connected to our surroundings.

    This means the boundary between us and the world softens. And in the process, our sense of time expands. We slip outside our normal consciousness, and into a different time-world."

  15. All the people who never tried getting intoxicated scare me, because they overreact to anyone who is in any altered state (chemically or non-chemically induced). Like in the book of Acts.

  16. I can see why people didn’t like Beyond the Black Rainbow but it spoke to me of psychonaut John Lilly and the world my head inhabited in the late 80s. That of course links it with Altered States and the works of Ken Russell, although Cosmatos and Russell are very different… John Lilly characteristically liked Altered States despite or perhaps because of its absurdity. And Barry’s bad trip did remind me of something after all… #AlteredStates #LSD #BeyondTheBlackRainbow #KenRussell #PanosCosmatos #JohnLilly #horrormovies

  21. #AlteredStates (and imagination more generally) were probably selected for in evolution because they present us with novel perspectives and virtual rehearsals of possible futures, which can mash up previously disparate elements in productive ways. The imagination is adaptive in a changing and challenging environment.

  22. After some exchange (urusai.social/@nazokiyoubinbou) I thought I should check if it's possible to open eyes during half-conscious #SleepParalysis (I have eyes closed and was surprised many people have open). And finally had an opportunity to do it.

    So... it was as hard as trying to move any other body part. It required an effort to open one eye. Somehow I closed it again later. So even if eyeballs are not "turned off", eyelids seemingly are.

    I also wondered if I open eyes, I would have hallucinations - normally I only hear things, have chaotic thought train and feel like floating in the air/vacuum. For brief moment after opening one eye, I saw something like cartoon character with blonde hair and pale pink clothes on the wall background but it disappeared quickly. Nothing later. Not really impressive.

    Probably someone did similar experiments in more scientific way :blobcatjoy:

  25. Remembering #WilliamHurt (1950-2022), the versatile Oscar / BAFTA-winning American film, stage and television actor, born in Washington D.C. #OnThisDay. His film debut was as the latter-day mad scientist in Ken Russell's #AlteredStates (1980) and he excelled as, among others, the not-so-smart lawyer in #BodyHeat (1981), the mob boss in Cronenberg's #AHistoryOfViolence (2005) and the terrorised hit man in Stephen King adaptation 'Battleground' from #NightmaresAndDreamscapes (2006).
