As to your theory, I'd have to ask: Why does there seem to be a "rectifer" at all? When I normally desire to do something I am capable of doing it, I am not repulsed by my desire to do it, am I? In fact, the desire -to- do it lets me do it, as i must first desire to do something before I choose to do something, no?
Pre-amble:
The main reason for the existance of rectification or inversion is associated with intinctive self protection.
Extraordinary experiences have most often extraordinary consequences.
In fact most persons exhibiting symptoms of Schizophrenia are doing so because they are attempting to ground their extraordinary experiences in a way that resembles sanity but falls way short of it. In other words their behaviour is an attempt at being sane and not insane, even though it appears insane to us.
All persons have a desire for sanity. Most persons work on this issue all their lives, tryng to maintain perspective on all things. Trying to achieve the sanest position.
[ and most people fail in many instances to maintain that perspective - anger , aggresion, impulsivity, ]
Now for this trial to be successful it must by default generate an experience for Crunchy that he would consider extraordinary. And whilst it is not the experience itself that poses the problem it is the memory of that experience that can.
What is often described in persons who have had extraordinary experiences is that if that experinece is denied the persons mental tapestry starts to fall apart. Thus schizophrenia is deemed a condition that means the persons sense of reality deteriorates. This deterioration caused in the main by not understanding what they have experienced and the denial of those experineces as being real and worthy of understanding.
So the rectifier
[ pineal gland ] attempts to maintain sensory integrity at all times. If this is threatened it inverts the desire leading to negative or neutral results. It has the ability to override any desire you might have in the interests of sensory integrity.
I have come to understand that when two people want the same thing at a psychic level this creates a threat to sensory integrity. The main reason for this is that we are essentially the one entity but we are dealing with the situation as if we are two entities.
Crunchy and me or you and me and so on.
This separation is necessary and must be maintained thus psychic connectivity is tempored by the primary need to maintain the illusion of individuality.
What concerns me most is not so much this trial but the negative effects my testing with my partner is having on my partner. Every time we run a trial she is getting stronger at dealing with the outcomes of extraodinary experiences. Mood deterioration, poor reasoning ability, relational frictions, insecurity etc. are a significant problem but gradualy her reactions to the experiences are getting more secure. Hence the results we are getting are improving. Attempting Psychic interactions has an inherant risk and needs to be managed carefully.
So the body defends itself from experiencing the extraordinary because it's ability to cope with the consequences is not adequate enough.
[ evidenced in the number of people hospitalised with Schizophrenia and similar illnesses due to the inabaility to cope with extraordinary events]
Thus there exists a system of rectification as part of the persons self defence instincts.
[ adrenal shock upon realisation is always an issue]
As mentioned in another thread on Tensing, suspense and tension caused by suspense has in itself the ability to neutralise any connectivity. To be successful these issues have to be resolved and essentially this comes back to me and how I cope with the extraordinary
[ as we are one entity] The more secure I become the better others become because my pineal gland is superimposed over every one elses.
So as this trial continues my primary focus is on my reactions to what we are attempting to do, and as I learn to react more securely the results of these types of endevours also become more secure and thus more conclusive.
Now after reading this you are probably thinking that I am just doing what I suggest persons are doing that have symptoms of schizophrenia. This is a fare assesment. Sure, I am grounding my extraodinary experiences in what may be considered as a pseudo science. So it could be argued whether my grounding is any more sane than a religious fevered person preaching end times and demonstrating a messiah complex.
I have no arguement other than the evidence I am experiencing confirms the pseudo science I am espousing.
BTW in case you are not aware, the Pineal gland is the gland referred to in Eastern philosophy as the Crown Chakra.
The whole of Eastern mysticism and even Buddhist philosophy is an attempt to ground experience in a way that makes sense. As to veracity this is yet to be proven.
And if this trial is successful this also goes a long way to supporting notions of Eastern thought and philosophy.
So to prove conclusively the reality of psychic pheno has significant ramifications. And it is these ramifications I feel, that generate the rectification or inversion factor that I described earlier.
