nope, not on the surface, and that's exactly the point. It's the collective subconscious. Depicted in Athena's pics, the model of synchronicity. Directions are given to the subconscious, and through the medium of the collective, subconscious direction is conveyed to others in a way that proves mutually beneficial.

but now we are drawing causal lines between synchronous events and the collective subconscious. when it comes to explaining causation in regular life, i kind of like to use an occam's razor type of principle. after all, all causation is is a method of organization, but i guess this is where the mystery arises.

what i think is interesting about it is that i don't believe that there are provable causal relationships anyway. we just snap into organizing things (like we organize things in time) into causal pairings because that makes the most sense to us. it's hard because if you try to do a kind of infinite regress thing with explaining the why's of anything, you will eventually run into a roadblock of causality. now i just lost my train of thought. i'm really tired today. :{

While I tend to disappear fairly often, I am always keeping up with things on the forums by lurking. I love you guys :3

I've noticed myself questioning reality quite a bit as well as trying to figure out what an action or object means symbolically in the life of an individual. I've noticed myself putting more emotion and meaning into things I write, create, compose, and play while simultaneously losing patience with people who are too lazy to put the legwork or brainwork into their lives to make it change for the better.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I refuse to call this a game.

I, too, have been questioning everything. I've never felt so uncertain in my life, and yet I'm loving every bit of it. That lack of control would normally drive me absolutely insane.

I was medicated for a while last year to stop OCD-like behavior, nightmares, etc. and I feel like I've lost alot of excitement. I feel like the medication took that away from me.

People's posts are inspiring. This is something I want to be a part of... so. See you all down the hole.

Welcome to Silverladder, love. Take the time that it is on hold to read up and get to know what's gone on so far.

We really are a welcoming group. Smile

I wish you the best with your fight against OCD and your nightmares.

Yes, oftentimes, we forget or take for granted what it is that make us human and the things that we feel to be human. Life is such a wonderful thing

Welcome aboard! I hope you enjoy this as much as others, including myself have. Just think, the rabbit hole hasn't even opened and there has been so much already! Also, don't be scared to email the deuces. I know I was but it's getting easier and I feel more in tune to the things going on (even if my emails are just random information)

So welcome! Very Happy

JaeDom, anonymousloli, thank you for the welcome. I'm hoping to do alot of forum-reading and IRC lurking to compile a 'quickstart' guide for my friends. They are new to ARGs as well, but we're a bunch of clever folk with big imaginations. Hopefully the guide can lead others in on the chase and get caught up before the hole opens.

If we hand hold eachother's hands and help our steps down that slippery hole, I know we'll find some pretty amazing stuff in each other as well as ourselves. I'll ask a few questions while I put it together.

I think this message I just sent to Jane explains another change of mine very well:

Quote:
Jane, it is a complete understatement to say we are there for you. I know that I, personally, mourn with you. I don't know who it is, but someone important to all of you is important to me.

I've never really felt that connected to anyone... anyone at all. I've never really mourned a death. I think we can safely assume that's another change all of this has brought in me. Thank you, so much.

I love you, all of you. You bring some emotion back to me.

My message to Jane explains my change too (I'm starting to feel more spiritual, more... complete. It's weird.)

I think I'm noticing that even these changes I've made are really selfish. I'm going to take a step in the right direction and try to stop being so damn selfish.

Even though things have been chaotic for me, and I haven't posted on SilverLadder since the beginning...
I've noticed beauty in the world. So much of it. Sometimes it's overwhelming and depressing, usually not. I'm content to watch the sun set, without blogging about it.

I have started to learn true art.

And I have finally validated that the only truly important thing is being yourself. (Albert Einstein dropped out of school at fifteen.)

And, much like Freeze, I manage to at least sort of keep up with what's happening, and I love it. And I love all of you...I've never met a more thoughtful, intelligent, hilarious group of people in my life. Very Happy

I've recently taken the "Don't be a jerk" rule (mentioned by Jonah in voicechat) to heart, and am striving to be less mean to everyone. I'm also trying to be more forgiving.
