it’s the difference between psychosis and awakening does it take you closer to seeing your infinite as not separate from the universe’s? from the larger cultural objects are call narratives, civilisations https://t.co/7tCzk44h8B

those states are mediated by the mind, but they are not nothing but states of mind that is like receiving love letters from the universe and putting it all in a pile marvelling at "how much paper you have"

the problem with relating to everything as a state of mind is its vulnerable to goodharting when you goodhart on the state of mind, it can feel increasingly disconnected and closed isolation is the meta-danger https://t.co/hLcK5nHlnr

when you relate to everything as a state of your mind, you find that the universe does not offer you many places upon which to hang your meaning it is not a good coat rack upon which to hang your meaning
