Anne: Is that what I’ve seen called “the psychic censor” in a lot of<br />

psychological literature?<br />

Leri: Why, yes it is Anne. The amount of input we could get, for<br />

instance, from just sitting in a room full of people is so much that we<br />

have to filter out the flood until it’s a steady stream of drops. Selective<br />

memory. What we filter out is based on our disposition.<br />

Greg: I know you’ve tripped face before, so you know what it’s like<br />

when some of this filter gets turned off. Psychotic breaks also seem to<br />

result, at least in part, from an underachieving filter. Of course, it is<br />

probably a result rather than a cause, and sometimes we intentionally try<br />

to turn off those filters so we can break through to the “other side.” To<br />

see underwater, you have to open your eyes.<br />

Crazy Fingers: Goggles help, too.<br />

Anne: How can I understand all of this in terms of my own life?<br />

Leri: As I know that you are reading this, that all of the symbols are<br />

conveying their meanings to you on many different levels, I see that all<br />

of this information will be absorbed in a naturally conducive manner.<br />

Anne: So people will automatically and selectively work it into their<br />

scripts without necessary, active decision-making on the conscious level?<br />

Leri: So long as it is processed fully, yes.<br />

Crazy Fingers: Knowing something seems only possible in systems<br />

defined by their own axioms, like mathematics… If I were to change my<br />

belief map, I’d be thinking in other terms, having different experiences,<br />

and validating different experiences as “true.” Every belief system is<br />

valid on its own grounds. It’s incredibly limiting to only have one.<br />

Robert: Contradiction isn’t a sign of error, it’s a sign of “truth,” or it<br />

comes as close to our experience of it as possible.<br />

Rachelle: What about people who stick stubbornly to just one way of<br />

interpreting the world?<br />

1970’s STOCK FOOTAGE OF LION EATING A GAZELLE<br />

ACCOMPANIED BY UPTEMPO (180+ BPM) POLKA<br />

Rachelle: All colors and all possibilities. The universe chaotically<br />

tosses things into and out of form. All we have to do is play.<br />

Black Osiris: (ADJUSTING GAS MASK) Yeaaah… Now I’m<br />

show’n the depths of my subconscious ocean… Trombone Dictaphone,<br />
