About Me

My name is Sean Connelly, and I've gone by the pseudo-name Peebrain while on PsiPog.net. This blog was a running stream of my thoughts, beliefs, and experiences about PsiPog and psychic abilities in general.

Subjective Reality, Memory, and the Senses

Both NI and SheepKing posted some new posts on their blogs. You can check out their links from my "Favorite Blogs" list on the right.

These past couple days I've just been thinking. Steve Pavlina's subjective reality idea is hard to swallow... I understand the concept, but putting it into action is really difficult. Perhaps I'll stick with objective reality beliefs for a while. The only benefit I noticed from it is it removes all fear. That's it.

I've also been thinking about memory, and the physical senses. Memory plays such a huge role in defining my current experience in this reality... it's strange that we don't know more about it. I wonder if remembering something is using the same mechanism as RV... I'm sure it's all tied together somehow. With RV, we're just remembering something that we haven't experienced directly. Just a thought.

The physical senses, especially hearing, have intrigued me as well. I can hear things, and I can hear people talk, but I'm trying to figure out how I actually comprehend the information that's being said. How can my mind convert vibrations in the air into an idea in my head that I comprehend? That conversion process is very peculiar.

I haven't had an OBE in a long time. I hope I have one soon... I'll have to start practicing a little harder.

The subjective reality idea is very hard to swallow. If there was truly subjective reality, then why would he be able to write about it? If the only reality was his own, then why would he bother putting it out there for the "manifestations of his thoughts" or maybe its the manifestations of my thoughts? Maybe all this is, right now , is me creating all of this in my own reality. I don't know, its a horse-pill if we are judging the difficulty to swallow.

One thing that's sorta related:

You can use different sense organs with different senses. Like if you close your eye, and touch your eyelid you will see that little black dot. You're seeing touch. Kinda interesting.

In response to your (peebrain's, that is) current and previous post about changing beliefs:

Well, congratulations. Welcome to our little community, chaos mage :)
Belief changing actually isn't as new as you, or perhaps even Steve Pavlina, may think. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you've tasted chaos magic. Personally, I think psionics and chaos magic simply fit (well, to be honest I think chaos magic simply fits anything, but thats another story :). In case you'd like to read more:

Have fun changing the reality! :)
