Is it possible to alter my consciousness in such a way that I can enter the body of my younger self with all of my personality and knowledge from my present self and live from that point on? Do you know anyone who has done this and could it ever be possible at some point?

how are you so certain that it's not possible?
Hououin Kyouma · 2021-06-20 12:51
Quantum nonlocality in regard to entanglement says its possible.
I dont really know any specifics from the top of my head right now.

would this work for my consciousness or just quantum particles?

There are three parts of me that I want to exist forever - my qualia, my memories and my personality. Is it possible for me to make all 3 parts of myself immortal? How?

>>4695
it absolutely does not
Lainiste · 2021-07-07 14:20
Haha. This universe must be a joke at this point but alright, the more you know... 1st of all, where did you got this information ? Did you found it on the wired or you connected the dots yourself ? If you found it on the wired then mb, there's a possibility it come from me, I have a very strong metaphorization in the wired and I left a though about a plan where a such possibility exist. But I never tried it and I don't even know if it's possible. It was only an over estimation of a collection of possibilities that can lead to this possibility, It was only a theory / a possibility, and it never got tried at my knowledge. If it's possible that would be probably the worst experience any living been could ever do, you would basically become a ''god'' because of the immortality this would give. And what's the point of going back in time for changing something in a ''world / universe / dimension'' that isn't ''ours'' originally ? Also it's very easy to be addicted to reality and to abuse a such thing. I could continue deeper, but It's better to stop here. It's just a theory I left in the wired, I use this theory for some ''demonstration'' to someone > I needed to make him believe it was possible for demonstrate something else, so I searched all real possibility to make something like that, and collected all the most realist possibilities. But for create such ''device'' it would require anyway knowledge you probably don't have and will never have unless you scarify you life to the research of advanced information which that require inhuman conditions to access. So it's not worth it. To my point of view idk if it's possible to activate a such device and if it is, That's probably the worst thing you could ever wish. Trust me, it doesn't matter. And if you found that by connecting the dots alone then, you have a really power of parallel computing, but if you cannot connect the dots to go farer and create the plan by yourself then don't think about it, the implications behind the understanding and the creating of such plan need a mind able to survive high speed of movements. I can at least tell you this. If you can reach such speed in the wired you may find thing way bigger than this file. Just know that the ''conditions'' to reach such speed can lead to death if not understood and applied correctly. Also you will to do a such thing may be resolved by simpler way in this world than going back in your younger self.

I had dreams when I was a kid that turned out to be bits and pieces of the future like a weird deja vu except I experienced it in a dream

The fact that my old thread from over 3 years ago is still here for me to read makes me feel like a time traveler
Bobby Newmark · 2024-11-27 07:53
you can but you lose all of this
it is described in one of kenneth grant's nightside books
its also what happens at the end of SEL, the plot of donnie darko, surprised yall are so dismissive

The body of the younger self don't exist anymore.
Regrets are a normal part of the human experience. Learn to accept what has happened and to move forward for what time you have left. Self pity won't give you anything.
>>4755
No. You will die. Your brain will disappear and every track of your existence will fade away. Accept it and enjoy life.

ah my apologies, it's in Against the Light. that book explains the 'swamp gas' theory, and in it he has the option to go back in time / alternate timeline offered to him by his dead relatives in a lucid dream, trance state. i should also mention that goddess kali's known to do this, kal = time
Yuki Nagato · 2024-12-05 22:26

I downloaded a pdf of it and cannot find a mention of the "swamp gas" theory by searching through it. What page or section is it in?
fsociety · 2024-12-05 22:56

"swamp gas theory" describes Trump being a Israeli lapdog that says hes going to drain the swamp but both times he picks swamp cabinet picks. You can't drain the swamp by surrounding yourself with them. So swamp gas is what comes out his butthole just like the term blowing smoke out your ass.

Not sure but one time I astral projected into the body of a redditor before they applied to be a mod on lainchan it was pretty rad and groovy

Why, yes... yes, I can send your current mind back in time to your former body. But it's very, very expensive to do. Can you afford it?
Gyula Kovacs · 2024-12-19 12:16
what abt reality shifting? there you aren't entering the same body of this timeline but from another reality/timeline

i guess if you don't know what you're looking for it could be tough to pick out from the text
the swamp gas theory propogated by ufologists has been, essentially unexplained phenomena happen around swamps
but in against the light y'know he discovers this 16th century grimoire from a supposed witchy ancestor, then his other older relative reveals to him that the garden in his back yard is a portal to other timelines
take that information, and combine it with the info in the chapter of leary's game of life, when he's talking about stage 19 mutants... the curies, lovelock and margulis, gaia-intelligence / egg wisdom
i won't spell it out for you cause im on my stupid goddam fone but basically swamps are condusive to tantra

Could this be what is being referenced by the Wood between the worlds in the Narnia stories?

Near-death experience, change of diet (no meat, alcohol, smoking, bread), rejection of society and all the usual life quests. Time does not exist, but repairing the avatar requires much more effort. Nevertheless, aging is delayed and even reversed.

no meat is the hardest of these for me. I definitely feel healthier from consuming meat

Comfort means that worms already eat your brain and your "Dark City" is captured by parasites.
Unnamed · 2025-01-27 07:38
>>7589
are you referring to parasites in meat? or metaphysical parasites? or this scene from the Matrix? I guess comfort is the wrong word. I feel more healthy and energized when eating meat and much more frail when I go some time without it.

How does one protect themselves?
Jane Doe · 2025-02-23 05:10
Well, there are a great many parasites, it is worth starting with nematodes and tremonts - then there will be a better understanding why it is better not to eat meat and meat -finished meat and how exactly parasites change thinking and control a person.
I think that initially the parasites were a biological weapon that was thrown into that world and killed its inhabitants, insectoids, so only small specimens survived.
And then those who dropped it were already infected - people. Other people, of course, are of a different growth and constitution. People hung an ultraviolet lamp, and the surviving insectoids, hiding underground, turned off the heating of the hive and their multilayer screen, the sky. There was only a screensaver with rotating pixels, which stupid people perceive for invented cosmos.
I think that there will be something like cleaning the world from infected.

If only there was a good solution.
I mean this seriously.
Ishikura "Tatsu" Tatsuhiko · 2025-04-09 02:26
Of course it's possible. Not in the classical back to the Future type of way, because time is not a chain, it's a tree, multi-dimensional one at that. But of course it's possible. Much Wilder things than that as possible, sir. Don't forget, we live in the world where Infinity exists. You don't have the imagination to comprehend how wild, how spacious, how just insane...
Anyway, going back to your original question. The real question is not whether or not it's possible, but whether or not it's relevant. And the truth is that what the ego thinks is relevant for it can often be quite a ways apart from what the soul thought was relevant choosing to live this particular life. I'm not saying it's not relevant for you, but I'm saying it's probably highly unlikely that it's relevant for you and if it's not relevant to the themes you came here to explore, it's simply not going to happen. Because the ego cannot really Force the flow of your soul. In other words, if it would require it for you to go against the grain, it doesn't matter what you do, it will not happen. If it's in your cards so to speak, then it's almost irrelevant what you do as long as you're being yourself - it's just going to happen.
For example back in the native American days, there was a guy who just exchanged bodies with another guy and both went on living. Just exchanged consciousnesses. I don't know how that works in terms of the brain, but I'm just saying, a lot of things are possible. Most of them are irrelevant. The rules aren't rigid like in chess, but like in chess, if you break the rules, the game loses its meaning or anything that was interesting about it. That's why for the most part, most people in our society for example agreed to abide by the rules of gravity etc.

Instead of shutting down the discussion (boring), how about brainstorming ideas on how we could crack open some possibilities? It's demoralizing to find cool threads like these where someone has their imagination engaged, looking to see what they can find, and then see that the first reply is like the lady from HR who doesn't know much about the topic but wants to put a stop to it.
B Titor · 2025-08-07 10:09
It would certainly be entertaining seeing a Mantis or some insect de molt itself and shove itself back into its exo like nothing has happened.
"Is it possible to alter my consciousness in such a way that I can enter the body of my younger self with all of my personality and knowledge from my present self and live from that point on?" -Probably. Think of everything that could happen or seems illogical to happen (but never 0 solutions) does happen.
"Do you know anyone who has done this" I dont know how it works memory wise, possibly? I mean the way i see it one slight problem with your brain and you are very furracked.
"and could it ever be possible at some point?" Probably has already been done unknowingly many times.
Do you believe in god lainnon? something outside the universe (which should end at some point?) we could just be insects stuck in some plastic container that seems endless, but what do i know.
Its a binary question though; Is the Universe infinite?
No? -> something must be beyond the barrier
Yes?-> Does It loop? Is there some chaos the further out you go? If it is infinite its must be very very easy to get lost out there with no reference points. Lets say i dumped you somewhere random in the universe.. good luck getting home! it just does not work.
Personally i Believe some other theories posted on the boards here to the "Final question" but with slight altercations.
I do believe the further out you go the more chaotic and collapsing everything will become. The answer could be from something ridiculously simple "Just travel" far enough to some self annihilation loop.
Ill end my thoughts here. Im tired. Ive probably said too much. I hope you enjoyed reading it and.. .
