well is it able to be identified better than that? i've heard about timing of impulses in the brain. is there a test for that? some empirical evidence? so it wasn't disturbing or meaningful enough to invoke either concern or interest. i wonder if a dismissal like this shuts the door to knowledge. what do you think? why would it have to be deemed a message from god to be significantly meaningful?
Which bit of "I'm neither a fully-trained psychologist nor a neurologist" did you miss? I concentrated on perceptual psychology at uni so I missed learning about the other stuff. I see you're making assumptions again. There's a vast difference between me feeling a need to see a doctor and considering it uninteresting. What you think I could have learnt that the brain glitches every now and again? Oh, wait... Notice I put a "&c" on there as well. What do you consider to be significantly meaningful"? And significantly meaningful of what?
Hmm, I'm not entirely sure of what to think of that. It seems you have an interest in digitizing a persons brain and then "molding/running it" in a prosthetic body. It's interesting but leads to a resource shortage ultimately due to overpopulation no?
lots of things, if not everything, is meaningful in some way. maybe it means you have a brain tumor. does the experience bring anything else to mind other than a glitch?
wouldn't it make more sense to change the nature of the organic systems? why artificial intelligence? that seems like a real stretch. especially considering the untapped potential in our brains, and ultimately in our dna. that's how we've always evolved, with the help of "mother nature", and possibly more than that.
Correct. I don't exhibit enough symptoms for a positive diagnosis; however, the audio hallucinations can be affected by how I feel, what I am thinking, and can range from lame/boring sounds to rather spectacular musical scores. Quite often, the voices that schizophrenic people hear are affected by thoughts / feelings and have a wide range of "quality" to them. Thats a pretty solid correlation that isn't shared by other known disorders that can result in audio hallucination.
On occasion. I really don't understand what you're asking. Perhaps if you can parphrase the question...
i just wonder why it wouldn't be more random or systemic. i wonder why you only hallucinate in regards to music, and nothing else. are you saying that you think your thoughts and feelings determine that?
I'd certainly deny that everything has meaning (for a given value of "meaning"). I would have expected more persistence, and possibly other effects, from a brain tumour. It definitely wasn't something that sprang to mind as a possible explanation. I don't understand the question. What could it bring to mind?
Well sound and music. Not everything I hear from the hallucination is pure melody. As to why the hallucinations are constrained to music / sound, I can only speculate that the part of my brain affected most is an auditory processing region. Nope. I am saying that my thoughts / feelings can influence the content of the hallucination (i.e. it's involuntary).
do you consider this to be a good thing, or a bad thing? you sarcastically mentioned being lucky. but lots of people like me appreciate music a lot. music has changed the lives of many...even saved people's lives. some claim it's taken people's lives. when i described the experience i had, which i believe i channeled a spirit that used my body to pen a poem, to my atheist musician brother, he surprised me by saying that a lot of musicians and lyricists attest to channeling something in some form. they don't attribute the music to themselves and their own devices entirely.
I consider it a bad thing. It's a chronic involuntary experience. Humans are naturally wired to blame / give credit to imaginary external 3rd party entities. That is not surprising in the least.
just thought I'd.... Yep spot on. I know of many people who are having similar dreams and so called hallucinatory experiences along same lines. An emmergence of "his nibbs" seems imminent .... Most of the time they experience severe depression immediately after the experience due ot the intense isolation experienced when one discovers a truth that others can not possibly comprehend. A global/universal "priming" "preparation" is under way is the general consensus and it's happening under intense secrecy due to the need to avoid mass hysterics. [paranoia] edit: and it's not directly associated with religion or theology generally.
I've had more subdued experiences during my life that led me to believe in god and christ, and that in some ways prepared me for the off the wall event in 2005.
I'm very familiar with that isolation. I also think that the individual and personal experience lends validation, in that there is no collaboration, influence, or convincing from other people regarding the matter. Its all you. Nobody gives it to you and nobody can take it away. And I think in the end we'll all come together with knowledge that we trust, because we all lived through it all on our own.
Is that because it worries/scares you? Makes you feel like you're not in control? Because its isolating? I mean theoretically, if you enjoy music, you should enjoy your gift. Funny...I thought people were wired to be egotistical.
