I am the onderdonk, (and yeah, your post put the kick in the keck kat!) and oopsagain is like me but he isn't me, and really no one is ALL THE WAY like me, that I know of. And oopsagain asks me what do I think because he is well aware that regardless of whether I am in touch with your consensual reality, (I am, as much as I need to be, starting a new job next week in a new state, fly all day tuesday, so HAH!), in addition I am also in touch with the other world, the spirit world, the demon world, heaven, the collective unconscious, and not that I need to be in touch with that world, I just happen to be and at this point nothing the pdocs do can get it off of me, so I might as well sit around and suffer, and hallucinate wildly while staring at the agakokakological spirit world.
And I don't know how in touch either of us are with your consensual reality, I'm sure you could accuse us of being aloof at times, as we criticize that reality robustly, and I think oopsagain is as aloof from consensual reality if he wants to be, and as schizotypal, as I am, our points of view very similar.My writing does go farther off the deep end, but you never know whats in store for a character like oopsagain;
I'm with you on the movie deal; I've been compiling my posts into book format, calling it a "memoir" of schizotypal personality disorder, but you know it's a meta physical philosophy adventure, just not sure how to encase it in a plot and make it a screenplay, I really just want a bigger audiece, however i can reach them. The book is the primary idea, then you tube, if that doesn't work out - there are a couple of interesting things to see if you type in "schizotypal" already, and that is the kind of entertainment I could excel at. Also alot of the material in my posts has also been written in to heavy metal rock and roll tunes I record in my bathroom, electric and acoustic guitar, vocals, and banging on the kitchen sink for drums, as well as otherworldly songwriting, all performed by me, so that can go toward the soundtrack, or what I was thinking of doing was again youtube, animating a short mythological piece about the tiger who escapes from the circus, that's what most of the songs are about.
And while I understand that the slightest post from someone else can get me writing for hours, I never came up with the idea of starting a separate account and asking myself questions, it does dound brilliant, but honestly i don;t have the insight, I guess I am a bit out of touch with consensual reality; I hold no respect for it, but have studied it for practical purposes of access to resources all my life, and I think I am far more than passable at playing along, I get jobs, hold them sometimes for quite a while, I have a wife, a family, and I think I understand how to manipulate the system that is wary of my insanity. But I do not have all the answers, spending all my time studying hysteric esoterics, there are some surprises waiting for me within human knowledge as well. As an instructor, in a ddition to collecting ideas and analogies to explain those ideas, we collect misunderstandings, so that we can frame the presentation of the ideas better and better after listening to all the misunderstandings, and it is misunderstanding, on the part of ohcalcutta, that inspires me to write, and I never could have predicted the misunderstandings about me that occur naturally, i am very simple minded, I would have society to just have accepted me and my reality at face value. Silly me.
After all that lets return to playing, whatever that means, on the school playground at 8 years old. The voice revealed information you did not otherwise, consciously anyway, have access to. I get that thing all the time, most people with sz have examples like that, the pdoc doesn't want to hear it, sweeps it under the rug.
Books like the holographic universe go to great lengths though, to try to make sense of the multitude of stories like that, and when you experience them yourself, so do you.
I recently read a post by a person diagnosed with sz, on the explanation for alot of these phenomenon, and it was such a good psychosis I guess I've held it for months now.
He said the reason that little kids have examples where they say things they couldn't possibly know, interpreted as info from past lives, is because as a kid their magnetic field above their head is very pliant, and the mind he said was actually stored in a magnetic field, not in the brain (because the mind grows at such a rate and the brain doesn't, it must be an invisible balloon above oyur head, he reasoned), so these invisible balloons of magnetic energy get disconnected at the moment of death and float up in to the sky, releasing of the doves at the funeral, just invisible. So the little kids, and the schizophrenics, with damaged or unusually thin veils between the worlds, can intersect with these baloons, and that would explain alot, the voices in the sz patients, as well as the little kids who tell stories of past lives then forget everything and grow up normal.
And when I saw your story this morning, that jumped to mind as the explanation, what do you think, oopsaain?
