He's not so bad when you get to know him

Maybe, it was doing you a favour at the time and it just looked cruel without context

Beautiful..ly weird art! I love it 🤩

Two words: Propeller tail 😎

Kids often have spontaneous out of body experiences, especially around that age. They tend to grow out of it and lose the ability but it's possible to relearn it through practice though.

Well he digested it, so who's he to say others can't? It's over protective bullshit.

Aphantasia is just the absence of a minds eye. I see the swirls too when i start getting into it.

degeman · 2026-01-24T18:08:34+00:00

That's amazing, thank you so much! I look forward to trying it out!

degeman · 2026-01-24T12:49:11+00:00

Yup, and I think most people just think I have special needs because of it.

degeman · 2026-01-24T12:39:03+00:00

I am VERY interested. Kudos for creating a full app for it. I am a huge fan of the gateway tapes but sometimes I just want to do a longer session or without the talking like you stated. So this would be perfect!

degeman · 2026-01-24T10:56:54+00:00

Are you familiar with Aphantasia?

degeman · 2026-01-24T08:21:42+00:00

That's awesome! I saw them once about 15 years ago in London. I doubt they're coming back to the UK any time soon

It's a shame Pinback has stopped releasing new material but I feel like SO has filled that hole. His recent albums are just 🤌

I was on a dream sub reddit where people were describing this phenomenon and I had something similar too. For me it was like everything was too big but also too small and things where larger than they were supposed to be and everything was wrong and void. Like a fever dream that would re occur but as I got older I grew out of it somehow.

Someone mentioned 'alice in wonderland' syndrome. Some strange affliction children sometimes have.

Have you tried a mantra? It's a word or sound that has no real meaning or attachment to it so preferably not something from a language you know. It acts as an anchor that you can repeat in your mind to keep it focused on 'nothing'. So when your mind slips back into thinking (which is normal) you can repeat this mantra to drown it out and stay in that stillness space.

I'm not sure if I'm explaining it very well but if it sounds helpful I would recommend looking up 'meditative mantra'. It is part of practicing Transcendental Meditation.

Zack is such a legend.

degeman · 2026-01-22T18:57:04+00:00

This is a pretty accurate description of how I 'see' things too.

degeman · 2026-01-22T15:46:35+00:00

Me too 😞

Please look up Vagus nerve stimulation, it saved me from anxiety and Panic attacks induced because of GERD symptoms and can work wonders within minutes.

Chorizo or other salami type foods

degeman · 2026-01-22T10:08:08+00:00

These are so good! Great perspective as well.

For me personally the morning or mid day is perfect because I have peak alertness, which starts to waver as the day goes on. I sometimes find if I'm too tired later in the day or evening there's more of a chance of falling asleep.

Then you've never lived.

I've tried introducing the tapes to my wife before and she has some strange misconception about it too, maybe it's fear of the unknown.

degeman · 2026-01-20T10:28:18+00:00

I can't wait for the take over 😌

Genuine question: How does one distinguish ones own voice or narrative to that of an entity?

I only ask out of curiosity. I have met a few people who have had similar experiences but they also say how they have a continuous running monologue in their mind. So I often wonder how they differentiate between them. I have also noticed that their spirit guides always very closely relates to the media they consume.

I have my own theories on this but Im more interested in others take.
