Has Anyone Here Ever Experienced Pronoia?

Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

Bob what is your point?

No neither Paranoia or Pronoia, I neither think the world is out to get me or that it is out to help me. I just think it is out to be real, and sometimes shit happens and sometimes it doesn't and it all tends to balance out in the end if you look at statistics. Some who believed everyone is out to get them, unless of course they were or they are in a a war zone, is usually insane or at least suffering from some mental confusion. People who look at patterns of how things happen and see that the world is out to help them are quite aberrant mentally, although that sort of mental condition is probably much rarer than the opposite.

After smoking weed. Awful feeling. Needless to say I never went there again.

Custoangelodoxy (belief in guardian angels) + furtive cabal + overly active self-importance = pronoia.

Nah, aint been up on that Kingda Ka yet.

Probably several times, no specific instance in mind though.

But, it's the feeling that you're getting help you do not want for various motives you are guessing, but which might turn out to not be help at all, but just an accidental aid to your cause.

For me it felt like a guiding influence.


Landmarks that I recently recognized in my mind now appeared outside of me. In this multidimensional world.



Beyond happenstance.
Real, yet certainly undefinable.

You've definitely been eating mushrooms... of the wrong sort.

I've fancied both notions. That it was possible that someone was out to get me, and that it was possible that something was out to help me. Of course I've fancied all kinds of notions, the real question is, what does any particular person really believe is in fact the case, the actuality. I usually blow off those things that I have no empirical evidence for, as simply faerie tales, but reserve them for future possible proofs. Hey one never knows... ;-)
