About the Mind category

Psi, altered states, the afterlife question, and whatever consciousness actually turns out to be.

What belongs here

Remote viewing, telepathy, precognition, psychokinesis, and the institutions that studied them — Rhine, PEAR, Stargate, the Monroe Institute. Near-death and out-of-body experiences. Lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis. Reincarnation and the afterlife question. The hard problem, panpsychism, Orch-OR, the holographic universe. Psychedelics, DMT, McKenna. Jung.

What doesn’t, and where it goes

A practice or a tradition — tarot, magick, channeling, a school of thought with rites — goes to Esoterica. Talking to the dead goes to Hauntings. Something that happened to you goes to Wildcard Line. Whether a machine can be conscious goes to Machines.

House position

An experience is a Mind subject. A practice built around producing one is Esoterica. That’s the line between the two.

How to post here

Add at least one Subject tag. Method matters here: if there was a protocol, describe it.
