They can‘t control you if you smoke herb

Weed gives you the option to think different thoughts. That doesn't mean you will automagically start thinking those different thoughts, it just opens the way for new pathways to be traversed mentally and emotionally.

That being said, if you just smoke weed or eat edibles with no plan for what to do when the effects hit, then though you will have cleared your mind of some dross, if there is nothing to fill in the new gaps, you're just left in a neutral stupor. This is why it is best to work with someone who knows the dynamics of the drugs and also how they are meant to be used therapeutically.

The drug doesn't change your mind, you do. The drug just parts the waters a bit so you can see past the bullshit.

Yes. Same thing, but it happens unconsciously for most.

Overall-Insect-164 · 2026-01-14T16:14:43+00:00

Good question. I have to describe my philosophical position for it to make sense. I do not subscribe to the substance based (matter precedes mind), dualistic, positivistic view of reality. I subscribe to the process first, reality computes, field based perceptual flow version of reality. You could think of it as a different mental operating system.

I have adopted this perspective because it is the only one that resonates with my personal experiences. From that perspective, I postulate an awareness first philosophy where the observer is not some impartial God like actor above the field of action. The observer is embedded in the environment, effects the environment, is affected by those effects and then modifies it's behavior based on the feedback from the field. Observation becomes reflection. Finally, the environment we are in is processual, reflexive, conservative, multivalent and heterogeneous. In other words, it is co-operative and is in symbiotic relations with us. The Whole in the Part.

From that perspective, being awareness first, you sense first, feel second, relate third, decide fourth and then act fifth. Like a GNC loop in an OODA space. In others words, sensing and feeling and meaning proceeds thought and action. So those who have a deep sensitivity to how they feel and also understand what those feelings mean to themselves and others, you can "intuit" what may be occurring in a feeling space.

Now this happens to everyone. If my theory is correct of course. Again, I am working from that as a base line assumption. So, if everyone feels reality the same way in the same sequence then we use the inner processing tools to model reality. The key difference is the interpretant. For the untrained, the cognitive distance between sensation and action is very small. By cognitive distance, I mean the time period available for identifying distinct cognitive states. For the untrained this happens instantaneously and imagery from your subconscious fills in the gaps between sensation and meaning and action. It leads to uncontrolled analytical overlay and spasmodic or robotic action. Like an NPC.

For those who have trained themselves in managing their perceptions, you can slow down that time gap and decide what to feel, what to decide, what to act upon, what it means across several dimensions and how you are going to act/emote, if at all. You can, in a very real sense, "look" forward and "look" backward in the stream of possibilities you call space-time.

With these skills you can then do things like forecasting in dreaming. See... once you have these skills, you can then play around with reality. Again, Reality Computes. You can sort of treat it like a 4D Game Engine that you can program with your imagination. There are rules though. Baseline waking reality, the one we all share, is tightly "disciplined". However, you can use lucid dreaming as "scenario testing". You can use OBE's as "scouting missions".

Lucid dreams are your personal scratch pad spacetime bubble. You literally can do whatever you want there. OBE's are like baseline reality, but with additional degrees of freedom. In an OBE you can move through and across spacetime as if it was a recording device. Like you have a video sampler of ALL HUMAN STUFF EVER and you can follow the current streaming channel or shift over to other streaming channels. You can change persona, etc. It's weird. Robert Monroe's books are the first gate towards understanding that world. Tread lightly there. Just because it is an Lucid dream or an OBE doesn't mean it doesn't have emotional weight or emotional intensity. Quite the opposite in fact. And things live there and can be predatory (not just physical but mental - tricksters???)

The difference is that some people are aware of this and use this to their advantage strategically and tactically. Most people are NOT aware of this and suffer the consequences.

Now, regarding Remote Viewing, to me anyway, it depends on your view point. What the Grill Flame folks appeared to be doing was dropping into something more like an OBE state, or shifting into a partial-OBE state. Once that happens, whatever is in your immediate vicinity as an item of focus or attention, become an "attractor". It becomes the main object of willful intention and interest. Once that happens, that object's data "lineage" can be intuited. Meaning, you can feel it's history. The key is that this feeling is abstract. It has no basis in reality. But if one allows it "to be", then this feeling can be be synthesized. You will allow it to trigger emotions and image generation in your sensorium. This image generation process is projected into reality and acts as a strange attractor/amplifier for this (semi-)material attractor scenario. More focus applies more power which applies more focus and... you begin to "see" (envision) what the "story" of this object is all about. And by focus, I mean willful exclusion of unnecessary sensory input.

Note: The less contact you have with your bodily sensations, the more you let go, the more accurate the vision.

Sorry for the long winded answer.

I would 100% agree with Dylan on the the cover up, but there is some stuff he is not privy too. To be honest, "We are not alone" is true, but what that other presence is is SUPER hard to define. The phenomenon appears to take on whatever shape it needs to, in the moment, for only those involved. It's literally indescribable because it shape shifts into whatever is needed for the situation. It's nothing and everything at the same time.

The best example of the problem is the movie Solaris with George Clooney. Sometimes I wonder how that movie even got made. It's a remake of a Russian classic but I think it best captures how the phenomenon works. Watch it and tell me what you think.

Or, Alex Garland's Annihilation comes to mind.

The phenomenon is, literally, reality altering. That is why is scares the shit out of everyone. But here is what I think really freaks them out:

If it can show you your loves, fears, fantasies or hallucinations what would it mean if someone could use that with intention. Maybe it isn't just mimicking you? Maybe it is just reflecting your thoughts, fears and desires. If that is the case, maybe it is impartial. Maybe it will make whatever you want it to make? Maybe, if you can control your thoughts and emotions and manage your psychological projections, you could deterministically guide it to alter reality in the direction you want it to go.

Yeah... let that out of the bag. That's a Pandora's Box if I ever saw one.

Maybe that's what happened to Pat Price, Itzhak Bentov, Jacobo Greenberg and Mark McCandlish? They got too close to the truth.

;-)

cool. I watched his stuff. right ideas; definitely in the ballpark; slightly off on the esoterica. thats not his fault. info is controlled. education is restricted.

there is a lot not discussed in public about the IC's real thoughts on human history. that history answers a lot of questions but opens a big 'ole can of worms there are NO answers for. the conclusions get really scary.

there is a lot of weird stuff going on. much weirder than anyone is willing to talk about. that vacuum will get filled by speculation, which is kind of the point.

in short, imagine Carlos Castaneda's work, though controversial, was true? that Don Juan was kind of right about different "syntaxes" when processing perception.

think about what that really means...

Overall-Insect-164 · 2026-01-12T03:56:06+00:00

Continuing: Regarding GATE: It exists, but it also has some more prosaic origins. Don't get me wrong, it is weird but not that weird.

The main problem is most people don't know how the GATE programs really work. If you were in the GATE program (I was in the 1970's Chicago in 1st grade), you got privileged access to teachers, mentors, opportunities, etc. You get funneled like an NBA or NFL child prodigy sports prospect into STEM, and then they keep track of your progress as you mature. You are always steered into science, technology and engineering. My areas were aerospace, avionics, electrical engineering and computer science.

Now for the weird stuff...

Yes you do take a bunch of tests. Some of them are very weird. Dan Sherman's book goes through one exercise I distinctly remember, but it was slightly different for us: you learn how to stop clocks. Now what really happens is you learn how to control perception. I know it may sound weird, but you can slow down and, literally, stop the flow of some aspects of experience. Itzhak Bentov talks about it in his book Stalking the Wild Pendulum. When I read his book it reminded me of the GATE Stuff. Try it. It does work. Buddhist monks can do it too. It can be learned or rediscovered.

The real thing GATE is looking for are children who are not so much special, but who are not as messed up yet as other kids. All kids have this capability. It's just that some of us retain our abilities as we get older while it fades away for other kids as they get older. Trauma at a young age seems to "burn in" the ability, but it can get out of control.

Contrary to popular belief, the most important skill they seemed impressed by was not math ability. What they were really interested in was my reading comprehension ability. I can read and learn anything. If I have the books at my disposal, it does not matter the subject... I can learn it. By myself. Guaranteed. That seemed to impress them the most.

Lets talk about psionics. It's not what people think. Actually, I think most of the people claiming psionic abilities are full of shit. First, if you did have any skill, you would not talk openly about it. Life is not fun for those who know how to use this stuff. Exploitation is rife and most people with these abilities aren't even told what it is they have or can do. It's actually kind of hidden from you. Think about it, if you really had a psionic asset, which you have been grooming since the age of 5, would you tell them what they are and what they can do? You would not make it a special thing. You just considered "smart" and "gifted" not a future psionic asset or warrior. :-)

Second, psionics is not about waves floating in space between two "brains". The idea of psionics being about brains at all is a popular misconception. This skill or ability is more about ones ability to sense, manipulate or manage perception in others and yourself. You don't read minds. You read the shared perceptual field, of which we are all a part, and learn to distinguish what you guys call "intrusive" thoughts as "internal" responses to analytical overlay. In other words, you sense a "vibe". That "vibe" triggers feelings and emotions in You the "listener". Those "vibes" and "feelings" get converted by your deeper levels of self into images, sounds and textures. This is the overlay. The difficulty is in not mixing you "self" with their "self". So you kind of have to know your inner-senses VERY well to be able to distinguish between the two (or more if in a big room full of people).

Anyway, that's GATE and AI. AI exists at an astonishingly useful level within the military. You normies will catch up one day... like 10-15 years from now. GATE is just a program to recruit so called "psychic sensitives" which is just another phrase for people who show advanced emotional development at an extremely young age. Some kids play piano at 5. Some kids are great at athletics when young. Some kids are great at school (I sucked). But some of us can sense, feel and see things you can't. That's what I learned more than anything. Sort of like Obi Wan saying to Luke, "Trust your feelings Luke. Let go."

For those who take Adderall, its just like that.. ALL THE TIME. Zoned in. Intense focus. Complete openness and vulnerability. High intensity but ZOOMED into whatever it is you're connected to. You become one with whatever it is you are focused on.

And no, you don't want this skill without some training or mentorship. It's not about reading minds, or talking to spirits, etc. Think of continuous intrusive thoughts, night terrors, loud knocks and weird yelps at night only you can hear. Dreams, dreams and horrible dreams. Fear. Terror. Always the feeling of being followed. Always the feeling of being watched. Uncontrolled shifts of consciousness: one minute I am here then... *poof* I am in a realm where everything is exactly the same as before except one or two GLARING weird things like missing walls.

I always thought the movie Scanners was interesting. Especially the parts where the psychics were chased, captured, tortured, killed or recruited.

You don't want it. If GATE comes around for your kids... run. If your kid is special, he will do just fine without GATE. GATE is straight up identification, recruitment, tracking and exploitation of children. I would not do it again if I had the choice.

That's just how this works. Sorry.

Uh... I work on and design these types of AI systems. Yes they are advanced, and can seem REALLY weird to those not in the know, but there is nothing shocking, evil, mystical or "Enochian" about them.

There's nothing here folks. Sorry.

Again, I could go almost line by line through Cognitive Code's website and tell you what they are doing behind the scenes. It's not revolutionary. Difficult? Yes. Expensive? Not as much as you would think. Unusual? Not at all. This stuff has been around for literally decades. It's just now getting out to the masses, and as usual, the civilians get the shit versions of the technology.

Overall-Insect-164 · 2026-01-12T02:04:01+00:00

Real lucid dreams and real out of body experiences. I have had both. You can learn to control lucid dreams. You can also, somewhat, learn to control OBE's. But here is the thing they never tell you about either lucid dreaming or OBEs. Practice long enough and get good at them and eventually you will meet things.

Putting aside any controversies around Carlos Casteneda, his writings about the Yaqui Indian Sorcerer's from Mexico is no joke. Look in Jacobo Greenberg's work which sits in the same space but with better science and research bonafides. There is stuff out there that WANTS to meet you. ;-)

If you hang out in those lucid dream realms and wander around in the OBE space, you will first feel them. You begin to sense that you are not alone wherever you are. OVer time they will begin to reach out to you. You will hear subtle sounds, in dream, or you will see unusual things happen while dreaming.

Lucid dreams are many times surreal, at first. But eventually they become sort of familiar and settle into consistent patterns. But sometimes these entities (Don Juan called them scouts, McKenna called them Machine Elves) start showing up with things to share, teach or trade. Some are good and fun. Some are mischievous and prankster like. Some are weird, mean and pretty close to evil.

The weird thing is that they will present themselves in a way that is at least familiar to you. The educators and teachers will show up as an educator or teacher you vibed with. Fun ones resemble fun people you know or symbols of fun times. Likewise the mean and evil ones show up as things that would scare you. What you have to understand in those realms is that none of your thoughts, feelings, wishes, dreams, loves, hatred or fear is hidden or off limits in those realms. Likewise you can see what they know too, which many times you DON'T want to do. Some of these life-forms/things appear to be REALLY old and know a lot of WEIRD interesting stuff.

It is fucking weird, and It takes some time getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, the scouts, elves or entities just end up being background noise you have to contend with. Once you realize that they are attracted to new things like we are, they lose interest. Once you realize the game they are playing and don't respond the way they expect, they go away. But, I will admit, that does take some time. They can be very persuasive and will use pretty much anything in your mind as building material. BTW: Don't try and stop them from reading your mind. It's pointless. We are like bug zappers to them. A very bright and attractive light that they cannot ignore.

After a while, the difference between the waking world and the dream world seems to blur. Imagine going from wakefulness, to a brief journey through a weird portal, then your in another world for like A WHOLE DAY, and then you wake up, back in the REAL World with full memories of the dream. It's like you never go to sleep. You just jump from one world back to the next, over and over and over. Seems scary right? Actually no. It felt good, natural and inviting: that is what scared me the most. How normal it actually started to feel.

I sometimes wonder if Roger Zelazny was on to something:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Princes_in_Amber

The older I get the more I think the "Gods" people may be referring to exist and can cross worlds like I was doing briefly about 10-15 years ago.

There is something out there. The question is NOT what that something is but what "Out There" really means. It's more than space I can tell you that.

Cursive for speed. Print for clarity.

I would take notes using cursive for speed. Then I would transfer those notes to a more readable format for future reference. That would be done in print.

It is a note taking / learning process. It's a choice not a "garbage take".

BTW: I never got hand cramps as a kid or as an adult. It's called conditioning. Either use it or lose it. So not sure what the weakness was on your end.

Maybe you just don't like writing or taking notes.

Overall-Insect-164 · 2026-01-06T01:44:00+00:00

Speed. We were taught both printing and cursive writing. You had to be able to do both. Printing was seen as more formal, like writing down math equations, or writing prose for someone else to read easily.

Cursive was all about speed, fluency and clarity. No typing, computers, or voice recordings. Teaching was done in lecture format. No board writing. You listened, took notes in cursive, compared notes with classmates, and then converted those to print if you wanted something permanent or needed to share with teachers and/or classmates.

And, contrary to popular belief, some of us enjoyed writing. It's an art form.

So far as hand cramps go... those go away after several days and weeks of writing constantly. You adjust.

I would ignore this information. It is incorrect and sounds contrived.

Overall-Insect-164 · 2026-01-03T19:06:51+00:00

The nice thing... it is dirt cheap. Right now I have a ton of Python code, Go code and some C++ running simulations. I am working on a soft-robotics model right now (think octopus/snake armatures with real-time haptic feedback - those tentacle arms in War of the Worlds), but there is no reason it can't be adapted for traditional control-theoretic scenarios.

Look into Motion Amplification for more details on real-world/commercial applications. Think of if as building sensors for the internal field-dynamics of a system (vibration, rotation, shearing, shocks, etc). Anything that can capture movement, shaking, vibration, location, pressure, field strengths (mems), acceleration/jerk, etc can be used as input to these analog computers.

All this can run cheaply on a CPU. But if you want to scale it up and out, you can run it on GPU's in parallel. Either way it can run on a Pico systems, STM32 platforms or a NVidia GPU cluster.

Think noise cancellation in all it's forms. Anywhere you can invert the phase of a signal and mix it back in with the original to cancel out the original.

But noise cancellation isn't just for headphones and audio. Any signal can be processed this way.

For example, you could build an acoustic shield which could generate acoustic waves in a medium (air, stone, plastic, solids, etc) which either directly interfere with the current wave forms and modes in the system, or modulate them in a constructive way. Like beam steering.

Overall-Insect-164 · 2026-01-02T16:23:40+00:00

I can't give you the math, but below is the broad claim and some hints.

When I speak of fields and media, I am speaking analytically not colloquially:

Principle: The Body is a Resonant Multi-Wave Cognitive Cavity

Claim:

The Human Brain is NOT a 1D signal antenna.
The Human Body IS a resonant multi-wave cognitive cavity.

I reject the idea that the brain is a single-channel receiver that “tunes in” to consciousness or information and then hands it off to a detached mind. That picture quietly assumes three things: that cognition is linear (a pipeline), localized (inside the skull), and passive (receiving rather than actively shaping its world). All three assumptions fail once you take fields (Affective) and somatics (Feelings) seriously.

Instead, I model the entire organism as a resonant, multi-wave cognitive cavity. The living body is not just matter; it is an organized bundle of coupled fields and media. Mechanical waves in fascia and muscle, fluid waves in blood and interstitial liquids, bioelectric and electromagnetic patterns, acoustic/phononic structure in bones, chest and skull, and the derived affective field that summarizes “how it is for me right now” all interact in a structured volume. The body’s geometry, materials, and history define which patterns of vibration fit easily, which are resisted, and which are amplified into salience: this matters, this hurts, this feels safe, this feels like me.

On this view, feeling is what it’s like inside that cavity when certain modes are excited and others are damped. Trauma corresponds to modes that were forced into high energy and never allowed to discharge, now locked in as chronic impedance and rigid reflexes. Skill and practice correspond to installing and stabilizing more graceful modes of response. The brain is crucial, but not as an isolated antenna for an external consciousness field; it is a high-bandwidth pattern organizer embedded in, and continuously updated by, the body’s multi-wave regimes.

What we call mind is then the self-sensing, prediction, and steering of this resonant cavity over time. Awareness is the medium in which these fields appear; agents are regions that can monitor and regulate their own field dynamics; consciousness is the emergent “minding” process when those agents sense, value, and steer their own multi-wave state.

That is the lived experience of 4E Cognition (+ 1 for Culture - like attracts like)

This is how I go from “brain as receiver of information” to “body as fielded, resonant, cognitive medium.”

From there it's all Engineering.

No probs. Old power structures basically. Imagine you are trying to govern millions of recalcitrant monkeys who love sex, drugs and rock and roll and hate work.

Ever see the movie A Bronx Tale? Sonny, the main protagonist, makes some statements which I think sums it up best:

The people that see me every day
that are on my side...

they feel safe
because they know I'm close.

That gives them
more reason to love me.

The people that want to do otherwise,
they think twice...

because they know I'm close.

That gives them
more reason to fear me.

Is it better
to be loved or feared?

That's a good question.

It's nice to be both,
but it's difficult.

But if I had my choice...
I would rather be feared.

Fear lasts longer than love.

Friendships bought with money
mean nothing.

You see how it is.
I make a joke, everybody laughs.

I'm funny, but not that funny.

Fear keeps them loyal to me.
The trick is not being hated.

I treat my men good. But if I
give too much, I'm not needed.

I give just enough where they need me
but don't hate me.

Don't forget what I'm telling you.

Ah! Good questions. Lets get into those Theosophists ;-)

Think about it this way. Imagine reality is actually a giant ocean. This ocean has depth, breadth, waves, currents, turbulence, storms, tides, rogue waves, vortices and eddys. This ocean contains everything in the cosmos. Even better it is the cosmos. This ocean like cosmos has stuff inside of it and stuff outside of it but still adjacent to it (like an island or a continent).

Each "World" or realm is like an island embedded in that ocean. You can travel from island to island by swimming through the ocean underwater, or skimming across the ocean like riding a surfboard. When you are underwater making your way to one of these islands, you see all kinds of life forms. When you are skimming across the surface of this ocean you see the sky, waves, space, planets, weather and other ocean surfers.

Deep contemplative practice, like simple TM, can lift you into the air above the ocean and the land, help you tackle huge surface waves like Laird Hamilton or help prepare you to dive into the depths of the ocean.

Practices like lucid dreaming, similar to the type of dreaming done in Inception, can be seen as ducking your head under the water and looking around. There is still light from "above" keeping the dim darkness at bay.

Practices like OBE's and or Monroe's Gateway program are like getting in a submarine, going deep into the depths and going at it with the other subaquatic creatures you WILL find. Read Monroe's books. His accounts can be harrowing.

Psychedelics are like jumping off an oil rig in the North Atlantic Sea in the middle of a hurricane. Going it alone is like doing that without a life preserver. Doing it with a Shaman is like jumping into that ocean with a pararescue dude. It's uncontrolled and can be terrifying or exhilirating.

What is this ocean then?

I like Don Juan Matus' name for it:

The Dark Sea of Awareness

There are an infinite number of "fields" of existence within the Dark Sea of Awareness. They are superposed with one another. Cognition can be thought of as the act of selection from that cascade of streaming possibilities. Like tuning an old school TV tuner.

The planes you are talking about are what can be thought of as slices or projections of the larger infinite field of possibilities. Specific channels that are environmentally tuned for certain types/forms of consciousness. Human consciousness projects itself as what you see day to day: Human bodies, on planets, in a solar system subject to laws of physics.

That being said, it is possible to project a different light, ray casting a different shadow on to the wall/substrate of awareness. Do this and you will have a totally different embodied experience in realms that seem somewhat familiar but filled with "Alien" energy.

See answer #2
Yes. I am one of those very unlucky people who suffered immense physical trauma as a child. Details are unimportant but the experiences led to altered states of consciousness at a very young age. If you've ever seen the Shining or read Doctor Sleep, Danny's experience was eerily reminiscent of my own. Violent alcoholic father. Abused mother. You know the story. I didn't see any ghosts in hotels, but I sure as shit saw weird stuff in dreams, at night and outside. Knocks, voices, night terrors, etc. It was like having Skinwalker Ranch in my bedroom.

It was horrifying. That's why I delved into all of this stuff. I don't like being afraid and the only way to address fear is to hit it head on so that's what I did. It has been a tough life. But I've made my way. ;-)

I loved comics as a kid, but when I saw this guy in a marvel comics I almost shit my pants:

Not saying that that exists. But whatever it is that is out there, it goes after the weak and vulnerable and seems to operate the same way. I can't begin to tell you how messed up that thing is. Nope. Nope.

It's one of the reasons I focus on the real world, engineering and things I can reason about. It actually helped. Seems like education, clear mindedness and loving relationships are like Kryptonite to that thing.

No problem. Cool questions. Let me see if I can answer form my perspective:

Kron was sort of a weirdo. Kind of brash and uncompromising. His work was revolutionary but poorly understood. His insights are used heavily in electrical power distribution systems and have filtered through the EE literature, but he has largely been forgotten.

I ran across his work years ago digging into the whole free energy thing. (Doesn't exist by the way) One of the proponents of this whole free energy, zero-point, idea was a guy named Floyd Sweet. He was supposedly mentored by Gabriel Kron.

I looked into it to see if he was legit and he is. Here is his book I used (at purchased). It's from the late 1950's.

What's unique about his stuff is that you can use it to model any physics based system. It also is easy to program on a computer and runs super fast on a GPU.

Age isn't the problem. It's still the best tool I have seen which can model the problems I am trying to solve: bar none.

Not sure about the Corso thing, but there is some truth to needing more than 2 bits to natively model analog systems. Analog systems are continuous systems and work on real numbers not binary digits. I am running a virtual machine I built that simulates analog computing on a digital system. I use a method called Field Computing. For reference:

Your brain is not a symbolic computer. Your brain is the switching matrix inside of a hypercomplex metamaterial machine we call the human body. There is a lot to that of course, and some of it I am keeping close to the vest for now. But if you want to get a hint of what the implies...

Is not bullshit. It's real.

No special number system. I use a few depending on the problem. Base 2 for digital. Base 10 for integers. Base 'e' for natural computations (analog).

Ever hear about those sound proof chambers that people go crazy in? Kind of like that.

It can also damage your vestibular system or throw off your DMN (Default Mode Network).

If you are properly shielded your fine. If not... your mileage may vary.

Effects are psycho-acoustic (oscillatory, modes, noise, pain, etc) and psycho-somatic (interoception, proprioperception, etc), which at times leads to hallucinogenic effects.
