did you know that one of the church of scientology's main rules is
"what's true for you is true"?  this helps them function in society
while clinging to their patently absurd hypotheses.  i think perhaps
you should check out some church of scientology material - it seems to
be right in line with your mode of thinking.

in that case, how do you identify a true delusion/hallucination?  or
do you deny the existence of purely imagined experiences?

that's sick.  where would the world be without "all in your head"
experiences?  how many artists are urged to pick up a pen, musical
instrument or film camera by ideas that were only available inside
their own brains?

you should respect the inside of your head a little more, jorn.
