Curious What has happened in February ?

if you talk about being spiritually biased it applies to me. I've made my mind up yesterday to treat this physical reality as an Simulation of some kind.
In a way i thought it would make me psychotic but it actually helped me to become 'normal'. ME is a biathc but being biased even more.

Having lived through early indoctrination into Fundamentalist Christianity, and then escaping by running through the Wonderland of New Age/Alternate Religions/Magick etc. I can tell you this, although anecdotally:
Guard your reality function if it's working. If you get up every day, go to work, pay your bills, love your friends and family and pets, and don't spend any more time than any of us do in the Existential Pits of Doom ... hang on to that world-view with everything you have.
The nature of human reality (and by this, I mean the virtual map in our minds) is malleable. Screwing around with the basic definitions of "actual" "imaginary" "illusory" "mind-based" "temporal" "material" etc. creates a ... "temporary head space" in which things can seem to happen in an acausal or deeply "interconnected" way.
This "tech" can be incredibly liberating ... or profoundly imprisoning (and perhaps, both).
Best of luck. May random chance fall in your favor.
