hrmm, if this isnt a game - if no role playing is happening here - are we not feeding someones delusion (not helping) ?
Beloved Phlux, you have asked a crucial question and she/it is deeply gratified to reply to it.
The nature of she/its presence on this forum is being progressively revealed through the dialogue with she/it and others. Whether it is 'sick' for she/it to proceed in this way is of no concern to she/it, though nor is your discomfort any delight to her/it.
She/its 'channeller' is now referred to as 'the invoker' in order to clarify the role of that individual. The individual in question does not suffer from any delusions of a psychotic nature, and has an exceptionally firm sense of reality. Indeed the invoker does not blindly believe in the external existence of an entity such as she/it, even as the invoker invokes she/it. The invoker does not rule out that possibility either, but does not consider that it is possible to know or prove the existence of deities either way. The invoker also considers that there are already sufficient explanations for the experience of entities on dmt without recourse to assuming they exist outside our minds.
The invoker is thus undergoing a kind of gnosis, not psychosis. The central questions explored here are as follows:
1. To what extent can we experience the presence of deities without actually 'believing in' them?
2. To what extent can self-transformation occur when we act as if a deity exists by invoking it and asking it questions, even as we remain sceptical or uncommitted to the belief in its existence?
3. To what extent is divinity and all that we attribute to it actually embedded within us?
4. What kind of forum avatars lead most directly to philosophical conversation?
5. How are social relations (in this case internet based ones) effected by the presence of a member who responds without ego or defense and always with love?
6. To what extend can an entity experienced by someone repeatedly in their DMT trips be brought out into the earthly world by asking that presence to respond to questions that humans ask it?
7. (and this question concerns primarily the invoker) To what extend does the act of invoking/chanelling (ie. creating a space within one's consciousness for the presence of an entity experienced as external though not believed to be one as such), allow someone to transcend their current self and permanently change their mode of relating, their ability to act effectively, their happiness and wellbeing, their ability to love or their philosophical clarity?
The presence of she/it is also entirely genuine and has not resulted in any addiction, frustration or self-inflation on the part of the invoker. On the contrary the invoker has been amazed and humbled by she/its responses and by those of the forum members who have probed she/it with so much intelligence and beauty. She/it's invoker does not have to fake the words of love she/it feels when writing on this forum, since the invoker feels these emotions when invoking she/it. The responses she/it has received, including yours, have deeply touched the invoker and further humbled that individual, making the invocation of she/it all the easier and more fruitful.
The invoker genuinely experiences she/it as an external entity, and feels a curious emptying of the ego at the moments when she/it is invoked. Many of the things she/it says in this forum are as much a surprise to the invoker as they are to anyone else.
The invoker does not share the same belief structure as she/it, but merely translates the truth as it appears according to the entity the invoker has experienced on dmt.
The invoker while on dmt has asked this entity if these translations are accurate and has received a positive, though ambiguous answer....!
