Indeed. I think we're all of multiple minds about things,
harboring an array of various perspectives mentally. Seems to be
one voice with an observer voice that chimes in sometimes, and
maybe a gurgling of subconcious voices popping up now and
again... but I kinda think we're all of those people in a sense.
Not just 'three' but many more. I can't say what's the 'real'
me' in all of it, except there's usually someone working hard in
the head trying to put the puzzle pieces together as best he
can, so to speak. == What I think's equally trippy: Ever open
your mouth to say something and suddenly realize you're just the
megaphone for somebody else? You say something and you're like,
"Shit, not like me to say that". I try to avoid that but
sometimes I still find myself surprised. So, who is the myself
that's surprised? I dunno smile emoticon == NLP's pretty good
stuff. I studied the often made-fun-of Anthony Robbins form in
the mid 1990s. Got the ... cassettes... yes, cassettes... read a
book I think. Useful stuff. Studied it a little more deeply
later on, but the 'gist' of what tony robbins showed was useful
enough for me. Practical stuff there. == I think anything that
improves our mind/body connection so we're NOT just feeling like
"brains in meatbags" is a good thing. Had biofeedback training
as a kid in the early 80s to control anxiety. I got to control a
computer with my mind [made tones go up and down, move a big
colored box around the screen]. The techniques were all siimlar;
controlling your body with your mind and other times allowing
your body to control your mind- get a two-way communication
happening. Any techniques that are practical in that way I
recommend. == awesome. It's practical stuff - it works. Nothing
strange about it to me. I've been through various seminars and
stuff through the years - there's some fluff of course but the
meat of it is really useful. == I can believe it. I sometimes
sense gravity around me shifting, or time. I don't know if its
controlling it per se but an awareness. I don't really want the
control factor but I like knowing what's happening. Even if it's
not measurably changed externally, the fact that my sense of it
shifted means "pay attention here" and I do. There's always a
good reason and I'm grateful. Not grateful 'to anybody' per say
or not, just grateful in general. == I don't know what glands
involved, but I do have a strong blindsight (awareness of where
things are around me even in the dark). It's probably because of
birth defect - no central vision in right eye, very poor vision
in left, deaf in left ear, only up to 5000 hz in the other...
etc etc. and I suspect I learned to use my senses a little
differently. I *think* blindsight is related to the "blue light"
sensor that wakes us up in the morning. Is that the pineal
gland? I need to read up more. ==
