Q: (Burma) I think that they're saying that schizophrenia could essentially be a way to be open to seeing other aspects of reality but diet can make it so it basically just makes you crazy without actually seeing anything.
A: Primitive societies that eat according to the normal diet for human beings do not have "schizophrenics", but they do have shamans who can "see".
Q: (Perceval) So a schizophrenic on animal fat is a shaman. (L) Well, wait a minute. There's something real subtle here. What I think you're saying is that when these genetic pathways are activated through wrong diet, it screws up the shamanic capacity?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) So, schizophrenia as we understand it or have witnessed it is a screw-up of something that could or might manifest in a completely different way on a different diet? Is that it?
A: Yes
Q: (L) And that's what you meant by not only a doorway, but also a barrier because the person who is on the wrong diet and has schizophrenia is barred from being able to be a bridge between the worlds. They kind of get lost. They're barred from having a normal life, and they're also barred from coming back from their delusions or whatever they're seeing even if they're not delusions. Maybe they’re seeing, but they're unable to help or do anything.

Laura said:Well, we didn't see any reason to ask about the "cult inquisition" because we've pretty much satisfied ourselves on those issues by research and experience.
One of the main things about the Cs experiment is that they have constantly urged us to learn to do research, to think, to not anticipate things, pretty much inducing us to activate System 2 at all times (see; "Thinking, fast and slow..." and "Strangers to Ourselves" in cognitive sciences board) so we can testify to the fact that doing it makes it easier and more familiar and you CAN overcome your tendency to be a reaction machine to a very great extent.
Someone once asked me what was the most important thing I had learned from the Cs and it came to me in a flash: "That once I learn to think, I really don't need them." And that is true for everyone.
It does give me hope to observe that many people here on the forum who are doing the reading we recommend, practicing the exercises and projects we suggest, actually ARE developing in the same way! I notice that, less and less, I have to offer input on topics because the forum members work things out themselves coming to very good conclusions (even if, sometimes, they are just provisional until more data is acquired.)
I think that using "System 2" is closely equivalent to the "Awareness" that the Cs promote as one of the keys to accessing higher densities. It is certainly the key to survival on this one!
I hope you will share her story here on the forum.
Weller said:Thanks for the session and the quick turnaround getting it posted! I guess "Revolution" could have astronomical implications as well (e.g. the change in the spin rate of planets)?
Q: (Ark) A bigger loop. Alright. Next question is now I came back to my old paper about the shape of photons which contains errors, and I thought I will fix these errors, but at the same time I thought, "Well, let me add what I learned during these thirty years, and also this new idea of time and space." But I am not really sure if I should go back to this old idea because who cares about the shape of the photon?
A: It may reveal something important.
Q: (Ark) It may be... but is it?
A: You like it!
