Is it possible to deliberately trick our minds to see a different reality (without the aid of drugs)? Could we possibly fabricate delusions that we have super powers/mind powers for example? I realize that some people do this, new agers and such. I think they're either cons (don't really believe it themselves) or are unconsciously aware that they're actually wrong. The question is could you consciously be aware that you experience a delusion?
Ofcourse. Come up with evidence that sounds logical at face value and you've got yourself a delusion. People do this all the time to make themselves believe they're not lying. If you look at this thread http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=66364 you'll notice something that may very well be a delusion. I'm not sure you can just sit down and say "I want to believe I can influence people's actions through silent thought alone", but subconsciously, people form delusions for various reasons.

Read the site page. +_D
Yes, even sensory perception.
It's definitely possible, but it's not something you want to fuck with, at least not if you value your sanity.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite things to do was to lie in bed and make the room sway as if it were a boat at sea. Believing that you can do things like fly or shoot energy from your belly button might be a little more difficult, but you would be surprised at what level of control your conscious mind has over your waking perceptions.
When I take acid or shrooms I notice some things as real and than other such things as bending walls, breathing desks as an illusion.Quote:

And you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low;
Go ask Alice, I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead;
And the white knight is talking backwards;
And the red queen's off with her head;
Remember what the doormouse said,
Feed your head, feed your head
Awsome! With a little practice I can do these lucid dream things!Quote:

Lasted like 5-6 seconds, even after i rubbed my eyes it was still there. I made a thread about it somewhere in DV.
