QuoteThe above makes no sense in the context of the argument.
Yes it does: the actions I described are INTERACTION with reality. You initiate actions in order to interact with objects, with people and other things. The same is true in reverse.
QuoteHave you any photos of these markings?
But even this does not prove anything.
Ah, poisoning the well, bad arguing style.
No I don't have photos because as frightened as I was at the time my safety was chief concern, not physical proof. I still had no idea what was happening to me, but I ruled out schizophrenia by this point. And I re-iterate, I did not believe in things like this. So how was it created? This is the opposite of what you're describing. The horse is before the cart.
We are not just logical beings or mental beings. We are mental, emotional, spiritual and physical. All of these are important working together. You've cut everything else off except the mental and made your home there. You took one piece of life and made it your entire existence.
QuoteAre you now stating that when I create wake initiated lucid dreams and I interact with mind constructs I create, and who appear perfectly sentient and independent, that these things I've just created actually exist independently of me?
Do you think everything in the astral is a thought form?
Is everything in the astral your creation?
Yes there are things out there that are sentient and independent of you that are not thought forms and do what they need to do to survive. Here's a hint, I don't astral project (not on my own anyway). My crap came out of the astral, I didn't go in after it. Sorry, but I live on the physical plane and have to create actions and interact with reality to get stuff. I don't think it and it happens.
Tell me something, when suggestions on these other astral sites are made, do they really say, "You have a neg, you need to do this now." Or do they say, "Well, try this and see what happens?" And if it is mind over matter, why do things intensify or get worse when something deemed neg offensive is intiated? Shouldn't it get better, it's mind over matter right, the salt bath will fix my problem. How are the replies phrased. Are they really forcing possession stuff, or leaving room for this or that to be and allowing people to come to their own conclusions about who they are and what is happening to them. Are you just over reacting and hypersensitized every time you hear neg?
