Triangulation [part 2] effects of psychoactives.
Ok,
I've been on a lot of drugs, like one hell of a lot. (stupid shrinks).
Ne how, being lobotomised ain't nice, but as I think in the third person I managed to triangulate the effects that the medications where having on me.
I've also done a huge about of thinking and exercises and experimentation into exactly how I think, and talked to other people to get some 'modal' ways of talking about elements of thought.
The after trying to find out the reasons for the language and other difference I'd noted and talked about to people, I managed to correlate the psychoactive effects to the 'self'.
I'd already done a a bit of this before, and asked other people if that was the experience they had [relate the cognitive effects or the effects on consciousness]. So not did you see a pink rabbit, but did you feel more drawn to things. that kind of stuff.
I've been doing some research over the years, cos the shrink is less than useless. So I've collected and collated data from quite a variety of sources, and not just psychoactive effects of drugs.
focus is like narrowing the field of view,
concentration more of.
To draw the distinction a bit better.
concentrating on the TV may be the TV and it's relation to other things and what's on it and other TVs etc...
Focusing on the TV may be looking at the little bits on the tv, the nobs or the pixels in the screen.
[I've god about 10 classes of 'psychoactive'], some of the 'self' aspects are a little 'poorly' defined, but some drugs have an 'inverse' effect of a different drug that's better defined.
I'll start with the ones that people will pay good money for with no expectations, then onto the ones that the drug pushers tell you to take.
I'll also do some breakdown of personal experience, and a bit of a 'better' description of how you may be aware of the effect I mention etc...
So, first weed.
Now I find 'weed' makes me more 'focused', that is you are more attentive to one thing or another. This can make things your not focusing on kind of 'catch you by surprise', background thoughts, and also give you some rebound when the context of consciousness gets narrowed, and the wider elements don't get filled in till focus changes or widens again.
