Most of us prefer to live inside a game. The rules of the game are what we call "truth".

Truth is nice because it's simple. No thinking about it required. No energy spent puzzling. It's just truth. No how, why, who or anything about it. It's just truth.

The best truths are gotten from authorities. They're the best because the truth comes preformatted in statement form. Thus it's ez to consume. And the truth clicks nicely into your fantasy like a lego into a bunch of other legos.

I am interested in hearing about how you escaped the game, should you wish to say more.

I was thinking I might get a reply about non-duality or something else along those lines, as that topic interests me.

That being said, I'm down with people exploring psychedelics if they wish to do so.
