Language works when we think the same, connecting the words to the same meanings and such. But that never actually happens 100%. It might be closer to 80%. (or if it’s a strange subject, 15%)
So this “conversation” that we’re having here is, to some degree, not actually happening.
But we pretend that it is.
So how much are we pretending? How much of the conversation is hallucinatory conversation?
I don’t think I take it too seriously, but I like that thought experiment. I think the grimoire could contain spells and spellings to shape and reshape that dream. I also like the picture below.
We have 2 worlds.
The primary world is made of sensations : sight, sound, thought, smell, emotion, etc.
The secondary world is made of concepts : Stories, models, language, etc.
That secondary world. Ya. Words, conversation, books, social media. That affects it. Creates it.
What we attend to also matters and can shape the second world and what we become conscious of from the first world.
