Response to The Doctor. (Reply #26)

27. Dude, I have no doubt

you're in possession of mighty powers, knowledge and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. (Reading people over the internet is clearly not one of them though.)

I directly dealt with your main point - that anyone can spin out extraordinary personal fictions on a public website based on a little pop neuro-science and some unchallenged boilerplate New Age nonsense.

I've been actively exploring non-ordinary consciousness since the sixties. The difference between me and you is I didn't spend the next forty years embellishing my self image as some kind of trans-dimensional adept with special super-cognitive powers that spread me too thin and cause my life to suck.

You no doubt got that particular pattern from a cult that prizes people who make extraordinary claims with no need to back any of it up. You have an audience to impress and a lot to prove. I don't.
