So basically what we're concluding is that this is a runaway freight train and there's nothing we can really do about it. Other than some subtle alterations affecting the view. AM I RIGHT ?? nudge nudge

Though I think the alterations can have major effects just from an existence standpoint. But it goes both ways, good and bad and everything else you can come up with. Got to master self.

Well for me it's so different that I wonder how I can be looking at the same reality. Is reality mute, fixed, or is it not coming into being at all without our state of mind?

Who knows. I do know that mood can effect outlook but mood cannot stop a bullet or reverse the aging process. (However it may slow the aging process)

I really don't know how I managed to attain this health benefit where I am seemingly reversing aging. It would be quite unsettling if I didn't realise Reality is just this and so no one is in harm's way, that really only This Is and the world is illusory. Otherwise I would be proclaiming it in the streets. Of course, I'd just end up in the psych ward again... but yeah this is the real deal as far as I can tell, or it's just an extreme health boon from feeling what I guess is the ultimate bliss of the Self. It is healing my schizophrenia/schizoaffective and my minor head injury, it's all going back to normal for me. How? Why? I plan to get better first and then try to understand what has happened.

i think i understand why one might try to tell everyone possible that the world is an illusion. It's true, but no one understands it. Sorry to be cliched, but i'm quoting T McKenna here
