Why does my mind sometimes refer to "me" as "we?"

[WhiteRyan]

How come sometimes when I talk to myself in my head I refer to myself as we, or us. And when im tripping or really really high I constantly decide what us or we should do.

LOL, I do the same thing. I know I do it because there are many facets to my personalities inside. "We" just seems to fit.</font>

considering that you are but a 5D extension of an n-dimensional entity it's not that surprising.


ever close your eyes whilst really baked and see the rest of yourselves at other locii in the matrix?


it's actually a lot of fun

I know, psychedelics seem to dissociate your ego/Self from your other
parts. People say the ego "dies" but I think it really just gets cut
off from the other parts of the "we", and you start to be able to hear
all the competing voices in your own head. I think that's why acid was
such a popular therapy tool. I still remember my 1000ug LSD trip like
it was yesterday, and how my ego looked on in amazement and glee as my
various parts would fight over whether or not to get up and go to the
bathroom, etc.



I have since been through some psychotherapy using an "internal
systems" approach that encourages you to identify all the competing
parts of your mind. I think having done psychedelics helped me really
jump into that and understand it from day one.

Man that sounds really strange to me. I don't ever remember referring to myself as we. That would probably scare me and make me think I was going crazy.http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif

I guess it's not really that big of a deal if you don't exhibit any other signs of craziness.http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif

I sometimes use "we" or "us" when i talk to myself because I see it as my body and mind are two different people.http://www.drugs-forum.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif Or atleast when im high.

Something similair happens me when I am high and talking to myself.I will be like, so where will we go. I guess it's because when I am so high,it seems like my brain is a different person who I am having a conversation with. It's actually quite funny, get a bit paranoid about being high in public, incase someone hears me talking to myself

Your brain is probably capable of producing many different
personalities. This is not to say that these personalities are secretly
battling it out in your subconscious, but rather that the potential
exists and can be illuminated with certain drugs. (of course in some
psychological disorders these personalities are always present, but
that is irrelevant for most of the population)



The answer to your question could be simple. Perhaps while you are high
your mental processes are not integrating into consciousness in the
normal way.



The part of your brain that decides how many entities are being
concerned could put up a flag suggesting there are more than one
present. Our brains possess many highly specific systems that produce
notions and feelings. Without the overbearing, coherency demanding,
consciousness overlord these systems' false alarms can enter our
conscious experience.



To phrase it more clearly - our brains come up with many contradictory
conclusions that are normally surpressed and never attain
consciousness. When you're high, the opposition or inhibiting
interactions of these processes is probably interfered with. Perhaps
viewing oneself as more than one person is a natural conclusion when
dealing with multiple parallel streams of information that are not
coherently integrated or narrowed down to avoid contradicitons.
