#subjects
Hmm
Trying to decide what my next pick a card subject should be… what you’ll struggling with and want guidance on?? ♀️✨
1) You’re too generic (ex: “hi trance me, m sub”). Have at least a good idea of what to try/do before wanting a session! Otherwise, noone will care for you. And if you only care for being submissive, that’s also a good reason noone will trance you. They’ll be annoyed quite quickly.
2) You only listen to hypnofiles, and you believe you can’t be tranced. Hypnotists exist too, and they are able to understand you much better than a mere script where most of the time, it’s just badly written.
3) You’re acting too much of a whore, asking all the time for a session. WE’RE NOT YOUR slave and we aren’t actively doing hypnosis 24/7, we have a life, goddammit.
4) Stop writing you are “OUR” thing if you plan to write the exact same FUCKING thing somewhere else 3 minutes after the end of the session. Commercial bullshit should NEVER happen in such a small and fragile community! Also, you’ll be seen as an asshole, and it’ll be practically the worst error you’ll ever do in a hypnocommunity.
5) You’re only aiming for perfection, and you know you will never be able to find that, if you don’t want to be relaxed at least. Start progressively, so that WE can get to know you better. And most importantly, let yourself go, it should be a moment of coziness, not a fucking job hunt.
6) You lie in your gender. If you say you’re a girl just by thinking you’ll be able to be hypnotized easily, you break the #1 RULE of hypnosis. If you lie in that way, you’re an asshole, and we hypnotists don’t deserve wasting time for such people, because we know they can lie farther than that.
Only exception is if you’re a transgender. However, it’s not a trend, and if you haven’t started a specific phase, don’t call yourself that way. It doesn’t make sense. Otherwise, let me tell you I’m a girl transgender, I haven’t even started my transition, but call me a girl still so that I can have at least attention, okay?
7) You LIE on your trances. Sorry, saying it twice, but we prefer hearing the truth and know it didn’t work than hearing lies to only please the hypnotist. You won’t help anyone improving otherwise. And breaking the #1 RULE of hypnosis is just the worst thing to ever do.
8) You aren’t able to trust a hypnotist. They trust you, so why wouldn’t you trust them a minimum? If they talk to you, at least talk about what you both want to plan before making a session, so you can set things straight.
Granted, unnamed hypnotists can be a problem. But well, if you stop being on Omegle to find hypnotists, that can help. ;)
9) Hypnosis is fucking roleplay for you. In this case, you’re sadly a waste of time. No hypnotist wants to waste time for people PRETENDING to be hypnotized. They want to give the original feeling.
10) “I know I can’t be hypnotized” - Yet you never tried hypnosis. So give it a go instead of playing resistance. Resistance can be so easily broken, by the way.
11) “I don’t believe in hypnosis” - Ok, tell me, do you believe in influence? Psychology? How do you sleep? How do you relax? Did you know hypnosis is a natural state? If you answer “NO” to any of this, you have a serious problem, and should seek immediate help. Also, your eyes are now blinking manually. And the moment you did it, you are now aware hypnosis works on you.
8) You actually don’t give a fuck about hypnosis. Shoo. Gawaway.
—————————————————
I’m done. I’m fucking done. Hypnosis should be a pleasure, not a pain, just because a lot of people are too selfish to only care of themselves, and not have mutual fun between you, and your hypnotist. If you feel targeted, just change your fucking mind.
Also, once again, no offense about real transgender people. You have courage, and I highly respect that.
#1 RULE : Hypnosis only works if there’s a mutual trust between the hypnotist and the subject.
The Mind in Indian Philosophy II: Self and World
Last time, in Part I, we discussed how our minds represent things under the limiting conditions of sensibility. We began with the arguments of Kant on this topic; his philosophy of mind has many similarities with some much-older classical Indian philosophy.
Today we discuss some Indian philosophy of the self.
According to some philosophers, limitations of ourselves limit our knowledge of the external world. The basic idea is that if you change as a definite person—or if you never existed at all—the objects you perceive change as well because how you think, dream, and speak about objects is disunified.
For Arindam Chakrabarti (author of Realisms Interlinked; pictured), subjects and objects are intimately connected. A single ‘I’ of a mind must unify experiences over time to give nature to external reality (Nyāya-school arguments). A stable self achieves unification of objects by sustaining an objective time-order, carrying them in a coherent world in continued experience. So if a mind substantively changes and the single-self perspective dissipates, the objects housed in prior experience lose their structure.
Chakrabarti claims the mind can track the world because what is real about the world has the very nature of being knowable. Antirealists disagree and say this would render reality a product of the mind—a claim realists want to avoid! Sidestepping this challenge, Chakrabarti argues that subjects and objects must both be real for there to be real objects.
So are persisting subjects—selves—real?
Abhidharma Buddhist Vasubandhu claimed selves reduce to entities called ‘dhamas’. But these selves only hold ‘conventional’ existences. Pudgalavādins go further: they argue for the actual reality of persons. Nāgārjuna, in contrast, denied the existence of any fundamental object at all, including the self.
If there is no persistent self, there is no stable reality. As per Hume’s bundle theory, selves are just bundles of properties coming together. Objects, then, are bundles of properties coming together as well, appearing to us differently each time in representation under the limiting conditions of sensibility.
So here’s a scary thought.
Look at something you love, say, your pet. Ask: have you changed from five years or even 10 minutes ago? If you have, you better start firming up your reality; else you may have just lost a pet. The upshot is at least you gained a bundle of properties—and again; and again …
