Thread: Self-Aware Mental Constructs

I've had a deep interest in Dissociative Identity Disorder (commonly known as multiple personalities) and have racked my brain about ways to induce this intentionally. If you have verifiable results I'd like to see them/try out your methods. (I posted a comment saying basically the same thing on the blog).

Perhaps you can be a test subject....

Independent verification from someone I've never heard of would be nice.

I look forward to it. Send me a message whenever you're ready.

Magnificent concept, you're definitely on to something. Keep me updated, and play me in chess

When I wake up, walk around half asleep, I still have some sort of hypnagogic hallucinations. I once found myself talking to somebody else inside my head. It was still strong and I actually heard the voice as if it was real. Although when I ended the sentence I snapped back to reality and woke up enough, which made the voice disappear.

I'm so impatient, how muh longer till you update the blog!!!???

While I just did, I doubt it's in the way you'd like.
We feel sorta weird shouting methods if nobody is listening.
But we have a draft of that post when the time comes for it.
And as it says in the new post, if you want something in it, just plainly ask for it.
I'm no good at deciphering people's comments.

Hmm...is there a reason that you are interested in trying to create this state intentionally?

I don't know if it is such a good idea to try to give yourself a mental illness.

In order for one to be mentally ill, implies one must have been mentally well to begin with...

However, simply being born into this paradoxical world means you are far from well from the get-go.

There's no need to fear contracting something we already have. We are all mentally ill... some just have different degrees of the illness...

That is a fair point to voice. But it's not something that will stay with you if you don't want it, unlike an illness.

And indeed it may be risky. We're finding out...
