E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

I'm like, how am I even able to be this, where I'm like so deep into a hole and then I hear someone's voice and I'm like, oh, okay, let me go get, you know, get up, go get the thing, hand it to him, sit back down and go into the... So it's interesting, like when you become aware of...

E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

the idea of losing yourself losing the idea of your self-consciousness through death through the body feeling like your body you know feeling like anxiety anxiety anxiety and you're like and and then it just goes away and you're trying you have a vague memory of what that anxiety was but now you're no longer there because you've kind of crossed over um to a certain degree and

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

I don't know.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

It's an interesting question.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And I, and I do love that, that feeling.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And I know that that can be attained through meditation, things like that.

But for me, I really enjoy the experience of dissociatives because they, they, it's just, it puts me in a mind state where I'm like, this is the most familiar state.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

You know, this is this, this is the state that I think all things are.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And I do feel when I'm improvising, I'm there, but I,

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

I don't know, the dissociative state is very interesting.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And there's so many different types of dissociatives.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

So noticing the different effects and stacking them differently, yielding different states, which is the the state is the it's a comparison.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Well, it's a comparative engine for

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

your awareness to the state.

E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And so when you put yourself in something that completely scrambles your idea of what anything is, reality, your relation to your body, the relation to the objects around you, the relation to the sounds around you, the relation to awareness itself, observing itself within yourself, within.

E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

But, you know...

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

those types of things i i find that absolutely it's such a beautiful game i love it and sometimes it's dark and gross and and sometimes it's very uncomfortable but i'm appreciative of all of it it's it's always weird and that's the thing that i really love about it even if it gets really dark it's still weird and that's what i love yeah how long have you been experimenting

E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

You know, weirdly, with dissociatives, since I was a teenager, because we used to do Robitussin, which had dextromethorphan in it, which is a dissociative.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Not really used recreationally.

Like, in the psychonaut community, people don't get DXM and do DXM.
