Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

oh that is so cool and interesting.......... I wanna know more about you/yall's experiences now (wiggles happily)
I mean-- i think in the biggest sense I just wanted to hear people's experiences with identity, consciousness, and such! ik some ppl who became a system later in life due to stress, and such, sorry ughhhh i am so bad with words, but yeah labels are just that, :]]] (smiley face)
perception and existence is weird, also fun :)
Not much to say really. I'm into occultism and tend to follow a Tibetian Buddhist approach mixed with a bit of hermiticism. Consorting with spirits , whether they're inner-creations or otherwise, is an important part of the practice.
I met one particular spirit and we seemed to have good affinity. They're a guardian and teacher in my spiritual life and a friend in my personal life. Before meeting them, I used to have hostile voices and whispers talk to me. But now nothing speaks to me that I don't explicitly invite in. I also rely on them in times of emotional distress. Instead of using my self-perception, I use their perception of me as a way to disassociate from intense emotions. But I'm also learning to deal with those things myself so they're not just a crutch.
We enjoy baking, magic, and discussing various shows or books we've been reading. They're with me most of the day but mostly while doing something concurrently. They also step into my dreams intermittently. Despite believing that they're external and something that I didn't create, the most likely scenario is that I just have psychosis. But if it helps me get through the day and doesn't interfere with my life then who cares?
I am so glad comrade! thank you for sharing your experiences. :)
