We need to believe that the possible is in fact possible, instead of the convenient fiction that it is impossible.

@sathariel Precisely! "Common sense" can be so confining...

@vortex_egg i have posted something similar, but in spanish: common sense has much of common and few of sense. I'm not sure if in english it has the same meaning...

@RussSharek Yep. Well I wouldn't say it's "mine", but I didn't borrow it from anyone else. Maybe a mutation though.

@vortex_egg @RussSharek In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true is true or becomes true within certain limits to be learned through experience or experiment. ...These limits are beliefs to be transcended.-- Dr. John Lily(I'm quoting from memory so there may be some botching of exact wording here)

@docskrzyk @RussSharek To the extent that my quote is a borrowed mutation, it is absolutely influenced by a combo of this John C. Lily quote and a line from the anime Gurren Lagann (which @sathariel caught): "Reject common sense to make the impossible possible".

@vortex_egg @RussSharek @sathariel I highly suspected it was its grandfather because there's just no way that you and I can't have both read Cosmic Trigger, and Wilson calls that passage out. It's even in a section illustration if I recall.Of course, I was following on with a few other of RAW's experiments at the time if you catch my drift, so my memory may be... fluid.

@docskrzyk @RussSharek @sathariel Better a fluid memory than an ossified one.I've read a ton of RAW and Lily over the years so the general way of thinking is present.

@vortex_egg @docskrzyk @RussSharek Prometheus Rising, Cosmic Trigger and Quantum Psychology are indispensable books for me.

@sathariel @docskrzyk @vortex_egg @RussSharek For anyone, really. I've got copies squirreled away for my nephews back home when they're old enough.

@sathariel @docskrzyk @RussSharek Same here. The Center of the Cyclone also made a big impression on me, as well as Charles Tart's books States of Consciousness and Altered States of Consciousness.

@sathariel @docskrzyk @vortex_egg @RussSharek Cosmic Trigger was amazing, highly recommended.I tried to get through Coincidance, but for once RAW stymied me.

@drwho @sathariel @docskrzyk @RussSharek I've given away so many copies of Prometheus Rising.I also have it on authority from RAW himself that he'd prefer people have the chance to read a pirated pdf of it vs. not read it at all if they couldn't afford a copy.
