Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Shannon]

Hmm I'm wondering if, as Shannon says, Meditation interferes with the state shifting then do any others things Shannon?

Examples

1. Being drunk?
   
2. DayDreaming/ Fantasizing?
   
3. Worrying about different things in your mind
   
4. Being sleepy
   

Just something I thought of just now. I'm wondering if anything like these affect the subs?

Thanks for the info on meditation though Shannon

Peace

Of course those things cause state shifting. And they will interfere with DMSI's state shifting to whatever degree they are able to influence or dominate.

When you fall asleep, are you in a state that DMSI would have put you in? No. That's why DMSI can interfere with sleep. But sleep always wins. And you're not getting laid while you sleep, are you.

Being drunk is chemical state shifting. It is literally being physically enforced. Is it going to interfere with DMSI's state shifting? Of course it is. You put alcohol in your system and the brain is going to be affected. There's only so much it can do to affect itself under those circumstances. and too much alcohol is always going to blow your chances. Is DMSI's state shifting more effective or degraded when you're drunk? Of course one drink makes me a much better pool player and bowler. 2+? Forget it. Same with state shifting... small amounts may enhance. Larger amounts will detract.

I'm not saying put your life on hold for it... I'm saying... don't interfere with it and then get mad when/if it doesn't work.
