Ineffable Ontological Detanglement .: Introspective Assistance & Mental Analysis Manual
Predicting what you are about to see and this is why we can hallucinate sober. Yes you do see it as a brain glitch, you somewhat see it as a brain fault, this is something going wrong, however you don't need to place it within the full extent of the feelings of broken brain. It means you're drifting into the world of your unconscious, you've slipped in your consciousness and now you are predicting your dream world. You're not seeing nothing, what you're seeing is always meant to mean something, even if it seems a little off the wall, what you're seeing is something you are supposed to see. It may be trying to guide you, it may love you, it may be trying to destroy you, it may hate you. It may not hate you, however this is simply the nature of your condition, you're going to drift into places that attack you, you may well still love yourself unconsciously however your state of being is a dark and fearful state of being.
Sober hallucination is always fragmented, it's easy enough to tell what's hallucinatory, easier than on psychedelics even. You can tell this sits outside of the physical, this object sits within the level of your perception and not the level of the physical. Only on certain deliriants will you experience entirely un-fragmented hallucination, hallucination where there is absolutely no way to tell, this object sits within the level of the physical.
What you are witnissing is a failure in error correction. At all times, predictive error correction is generating for you a model of what is supposed to be happening, how the reality before you is supposed to unfold. Trigger getting lost in error correction as if the system itself is the foundation of reality and your subconscious system of prediction will become the semi-conscious awareness of reality. It no longer matters to you what is entering your senses, your senses cannot override your awareness of reality. The weight of signigicance within signals is now entirely up to you. Your attention has locked into your new perception of reality and everything has become clear, everything is very easy to semi-consciously confirm. You are now lost within an unconscious representation of the ego.
It will hit more mysterious than that, it's the unconscious. It's the point of interconnection, you never know what's going to happen. You can feel it, this is mysterious, maybe God wants me to confirm the construction of my ego as though my delusions are a higher spiritual awareness, it feels right but I'm very confused.
In sleep deprivation, it is adenosine that "sabotages" error correction and enters you into an altered state of consciousness.
Now I'm hallucinating a little sober, I broke it, what if this goes to places? It isn't going to go to places unless you were already going to go to places, it isn't a big deal, it's just SOCIETY that says you're not supposed to hallucinate sober, man, it's just society. As you now know, all of our brains come hard wired with the capacity for sober hallucination, all you did was click it a little by messing with it, you didn't introduce anything new or frightening.
The psychological establishment calls it disabling, nobody's disabled, they're really overblowing it. They're telling you "AND now you hallucinate sober, you fall right into the definition we have created as a broken human, we may as well stick you in an institution, you broke our declared rules and now look what happens, we get to declare you" but then you realize... Oh, it's just visual, it isn't even anything, I rarely see it, when I see it I know it, at worst it's a distraction.
It can be flashbacks of the moment you took way too much, it can be occasional subtle underlying psychedelia. Your thinking is in no way distorted. Hallucination is a big deal when it triggers a delusion, confirms a delusion, it's a big deal when you become lost in your hallucinatory world. HPPD is not going to do any of these things to you.
80% of you are not even going to get it. Most of you, like me, can channel it voluntarily if you daze yourself a little but it's very subtle. It's rarely ever anything psychedelic it's basically just oh now I can break my visual perception farther than I ever used to be able to if I try hard enough, sometimes it touches upon psychedelic.
