• Yeah, I think it’s a lot like that. Other than just hallucinations, I can have delusions which are a patently false belief that have evidence against that you are incapable of not believing. I did a ritual earlier today and felt the effects. (granted it could’ve been a purely psychological effect because that was the main goal of the ritual anyway) But I am aware of dialectical materialism, and I know it is the accurate way to perceive reality. Just sometimes I find myself stuck in this mindset.

      When I was closest to this kind of stuff I wss pushing my brain fucking hard with drugs. Mostly acid and speed so I wouldn’t be sleeping for days at a time and ess tripping hard too often. It put me in a PLACE mentally that feels very similar to what you described. I also felt stuck in it while not like truly believing in my heart of hearts it was real. I don’t know where im going with this entirely aside from i think I get what you’re talking about

      • That sounds a lot like it. That’s one reason I try not to mess much with drugs: I feel like my brain does some of that on its own, and I don’t need to help it get there. Not meaning to judge people who do use those drugs; that’s just my reason for staying away.
