If we view the world differently because of filters then it would be impossible to describe a red bus on route 6.




I disagree.

If you asked twenty people to describe a red bus on route 6, then you would get twenty different descriptions.

Not just because of what parts they looked at, but also in how they perceived it, and what feeling went along with their perceptions.

There are countless way to see how and why each person would see it differently and also remember it differently.

You can even see your own living room differently from one moment to the next, just by changing the smallest thing.

It will look clean because you aren't paying attention to it one minute, then the power goes out, it gets hot and humid, the smells get stronger because of stagnant hot air, and you are sitting around with nothing to distract you so you are paying more attention to the room as you sit there and stare at the wall with nothing to do but think, and all of a sudden your house looks dirty and smelly and uncomfortable, or just gross, but earlier it looked fine with the power on and everything running.

But that's not the point I was making.

My point was, for a kid looking at a Santa Claus and lights and decorations in a yard, time slows down and Santa looks magical, and the kid is transported to a place that is so different than he is using to seeing and the memory is a treasure that he takes with him for life, but the parents are just cold, looking at a cheap $10.99 plastic Santa and noticing that half the lights are burnt out on the bushes, leaving a dark patch in the middle and they move on in a few minutes, while the kids feels like he has been there for a long time taking in the magic, and never even thinking about the cold. Just his idea of how great it is, is more than enough keep him warm

One person thinks they are showing off. One person thinks they have brought them that Christmas feeling and are so lost in the moment. One person thinks it looks tacky and one thinks it looks amazing. One person wants to throw bricks through the window because it reminds them of something and is a trigger for their trauma, and one person feels like their faith in humanity is saved because their own trauma has made them see only negative, and now they feel like there is hope and beauty in the world because how can it all be bad when we still have Christmas and people are still putting up such beautiful decorations for the neighborhood.

Same thing goes for the red bus on route 6. Who you are, determines how you see the bus, and your eyes, or the stimulation from particle waves, has very little to do with how you will experience it, and has everything to do with the filters you have developed to interpret the world. Even the way you see the color of the bus can change, depending on mood, or mind set.

If you're parents were killed in front of your eyes and you were burnt over half of your body in a bus accident, then you might be too busy shiting your parents to even look at the bus, much less, notice what color it is, and you definitely won't see the friendly highway like the people in the RV taking their summer vacation with the family would. All you would see is danger, and how close the bumper of the car in front of you is, and be constantly pushing on an imaginary break while you lecture the drive about how they are driving.

Two very different views of the reality of the road, based on the filter that burning alive in a red bus will leave you with for the rest of your life.

It reminds me of the time I went through Texas on a bus.

I was sleeping, and the bus had driven through the night and gotten into Texas.

I always thought of Texas as a dry, dusty place, with tumbleweeds like you see in the movies.

So when I woke up on the bus, and the driver said we were in Texas, and to get out if we wanted to, while we had a short break in the trip, I looked out the window and it looked just like I always imagined it would look.

Everything had a brown color and it was hot and looked dusty.

It looked just like how I had seen it in movies.

And I really thought that's how it really looked, until I stepped off the bus and realized that the windows had just gotten covered in brown dust during the night, and it was actually green and lush just like everywhere else.

But I really thought to myself, "wow, this is Texas, and it's just like I thought it would be".🤣

So many filters.

Some are covered in dust, and some are bright and shiny.

Not a single person will see the bus the same way, and no one is imagining the bus you are talking about the same way, as they read your comments.

Because some people imagine busses are shiny red and brand-new and others see beat up old rusty ones because that's all they ever knew.

And how you imagine a red bus says allot about how you see the world and what you have experience in life.

That's how mushrooms can change your reality, because you are seeing everything through the dusty window of an old, bumpy bus, if that is all you have ever known, so you base your idea of what the world is according to what you have known, and it colors all of what you experience and how you think things really are.

But that point of view has nothing to do with reality, and everything to do with how your experience has reinforced how you view everything.

We don't even behave around people we know based on our experience with that person, but rather, we base how we feel about that person, and how we act around them based on how our filters have been created.

You can be nervous, and feel judged around a very nice person who would never judge you badly, and all that anxiety is coming from a relationship you might have had ten years ago and have seen everyone as a threat to your ego ever since.

The mushrooms can break you out from behind dusty glass and let you see the world in a different way and you might question if anything you believe is actually how it is.

You might start thinking there is more out there than just your front porch, and you might actually find the bravery to go out and see it once you are freed from all your ideas of who you are and how the world must surly be.

Things like depression, or feeling like a victim, PTSD, and drug addiction are all ways that will change how you see reality compared to someone else, and I hear that mushrooms are good for stuff like that.

Just experiencing depression for the first time in your life will dramatically change how you see everything from how you did before, and if you are set free from that, even for a short time, then reality will become something very different than what it has become after the depression started.

Colors are brighter, a red bus suddenly looks very different, and the world becomes a beautiful place again, instead of a hell that you struggle to get through with your head down and just going through the motions, rather than experiencing every moment as it comes to you.

I never walk through the same grocery store that I did the day before, and it always looks different and feels different, depending on my state of mind.

The same fat checkout girl can look pretty one day and ugly the next, depending on my mood and her mood.

But those are the small fluctuations that we all experience and don't really think about or notice.

What I am talking about are the big changes in your point of view.

Mushrooms can give you a chance to make big changes in how you see reality.

It's as simple as changing how you see yourself, and what role you believe you are supposed to be playing in life.

I'm a big believer in us putting on the metaphorical clothing that matches who we think we are.

A construction worker can go to work in a suit if he wants to, but he can't change the lifetime of beliefs he has picked up through his idea of who he is.

He will always be inspired by the story of John Henry, much more than the story of Steve Jobs, and only because he believes that he must take on that reality, to make it through life.

But he can put down a sledge hammer and pick up a laptop just as easy as changing his clothes.

But what self respecting, hard working, tough as nails man, who would rather die than let a steam powered drill beat him at his own job, be caught dead in a salmon colored vest with shiny shoes and a laptop?

Doesn't mean he can't do it, but his filters stop him from ever seeing himself in that world, and he could never look at it the same as the guy working in the office would.

But I know for a fact that mushrooms could change all that for him, because he might realize that he is more than what his filters have taught him to believe he is, and reality is just something they have created all around him.

He might actually start to question why he believes he would look better in camouflage, than salmon pink.

He might actually see that red bus heading out of town on route 6 as a shiny new magic bus that will take him to his new life, rather than just a rusty old noisy thing that blows dust in his eyes when it passes by every Friday.

I promise you that those two buss look very different, even though it's always been red no matter who is looking at it.

--------------------
Just take um like you get um.

Those ephemeral spasms of infinity, in suspended animation, born across a boundless ether of existential misery aloft a revelry (of awe) for the abhorrently sublime.
