  • Interesting, this is my own theory so take it with a grain of salt. But I think everyone has wild confusion with the subject of the minds eye. We are all just recalling things, it’s the same thing.

    I believe the difference between 1-5 is much smaller than online discussing would make us think.

    I can “see the apple” and I can “feel it crunch” but not actually. I’m just recalling the “idea” of those sensations.

    If I stare off in my environment, I can place the apple on a table, I can “pick it up” but there is no apple. I’m simply recalling what it feels like to take that action, or what I would think based on previous experiences it would feel like.

    I don’t think anyone is able to legitimately hallucinate things into their reality (within reason of course haha, mental conditions and such) and I always leave these discussions feeling like people who align with 5 think 1’s can legitimately create objects in their reality.

    But I can only experience my mind, so we will probably never have a solid answer to this.

    I would also be very interested to know if people who align with 5 are able to “train” themselves up the scale.

    Uhh, I hear people complaining about those services all the time, see Air BnB.

    Regardless, a rental car or hotel is not a living requirement like a semi-permanent home is. Definitely comparing apples to oranges here.

    You can acknowledge the benefits to renting while also acknowledging it’s an unbelievably toxic and abused system that profits off the poor for the gain of the rich.

    Until everyone is housed, no one should be profiteering off thoes that aren’t.
