Thought broadcasting and syncronicity is extremely real in my mind and is extremely unsettling, if a normal person were given a instant insight they would be crying like babies. I did, on the first night I realised what this world was.
I rather give up on calling it a delusion at times. I no longer regard psychiatry or medication as help but rather checking a box that they care. That is how it can feel.
In short Thought Broadcasting and Synchronicity is real mechanic. I think denying it, makes things worse and halts progression or seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
Almost sadly contradictory is the people that want you to get better are too lazy to look into your experiences and fathom them. Victims of thought broadcasting can be too lazy in getting their point across too, or rather there is fear of being judged so progress is very poor from both sides - the victim and the helper.
The original poster of this thread stated that he was once regarded as 'nice man' or 'a peoples person'. So was I before my psychosis. The reason you was 'nice' and a 'peoples person' was that you didn't mind accepting the notion of a 'transparent mind' and was happy to be kind to others in your own head.
But if you look at this concept, it is freaky and life crushing. Your mind somehow gets understood by the world around you. We used to intimately connect in a highly substantiating way with the world before our thought broadcasting awareness. Our mind moved along with the world and any hiccups in this mind/world relationship was a mere learning curve to get back on track to ignorant bliss.
The Mechanics Synchronicity and Thought Broadcasting (my ideas)
Key:
External subjects - people, cars, noises that correlate or reflect your mind.
There are mechanics I think for thought broadcasting to work. Synchronicity is really, really weird. I can very much now see how the OP felt like he was in the Truman show. I will say this, you are not wrong because I see it and so do others.
Whatever your mind is heavily focusing on, the world seems to present to you a relatable thing in relation to your concentrated thoughts. I say what came first? The external subjects or your mental subjects, was you thinking a subject because that said subject was coming your way? Or was the external subject coming your way because you thought about it and you set in motion your meetup with the external subject.
Or a third option, you both came together at the same time, making you and I think whether there is a real thing called destiny, where we all have no choices and things come together no matter what our desires are.
A healthy fourth option is a humble perspective, a rather Buddhist like notion and that is things are attracted to like minded things. So in this fourth notion there is a choice for your mind and external objects to make the choice whether to engage with one another, does the mind think about an arising external subject or do something else, thus missing the real life coincidence. Does the external subject run to your locality or stay put?
The fourth option is more healthy it just means that our mind plays a part in the song of dance in the external world just as much as your body does but there is choice in what synchronicity events occur, thus your coincidences can be different or more fitting.
It is a bit like tailoring your synchronicity coincidences to be more understanding to your neurological make up.
Main Point Regarding Mechanics of Thought Broadcasting - How Your Mind Gets Externalised (IMO)
Very early on, as in, within the first second of witnessing and feeling thought broadcasting I thought how was that working. I thought quick on this one and quickly concluded that thought broadcasting is simply body language x1000. Your body movements, eye movements etc. connect intimately to your brain, so whatever you think and feel will echo to your movements. If you are thinking scary thoughts, your posture will look frozen. This is fairly obvious to normal people but normal people unlike us thought broadcasters don't publicly state that even tiny nuances/changes in our minds (brains) are expressed through our bodies too.
Every living creature learns the language of other creatures through their body expressions, they can relate to it. Every second of the day is spent learning these body expressions in relation to theirs. After all, we all have the same basic living instruments, a brain, perceptive organs of the external environment.
It is not complex at all what is going, just loads and loads of tiny changes being understood fully by our brains, as much as I can see what is going on at a subtle level so is the same for others looking at me.
Where I sort of stop believing in Thought broadcasting
Regarding the thought experiments where it can be proven that you aren't knowing the persons mind content. I can't really know what number between 1-10 you are thinking.
I do feel like in these experiments that the number thinker reserves broadcasting of expression to look more unreadable but still the probability you would guess the right number every time is very low.
So this is the gripe I have, the experiments prove that we don't read the content of others brains. But on some level others pick up on my emotions and I get scared that they are tallying their perception of me with the content in my mind. Maybe people are just humbly trying to weigh me up like I weigh them up.
My Current Conclusion
I think Thought Broadcasting is body language x1000, I think the level of nuances and subtleties involved with our mind and how our actions look to others is immense just because the intuitional abilities of other humans may actually be rather great but not accurate, so they could get close to how your mind state is but clueless to the content of your thoughts.
I think my healing lays in knowing the boundary of what others know accurately of me and what they don't know when we are in a room together regarding my mind.
I think the recovery is slow, but I think it involves some level of acceptance in order to move on and get back in the giant flow of the world, where it feels all revealed and understood once again, on every level.
The synchronicity part is genuine though, I see coincidences in the street that relate to my mind and I'm like 'My mind brought you here'. It really does feel that insane. I don't call it a delusion because a little part of me dies when I say that, so I feel there is some truth to my outlandish claims, denying it feels like loosing a piece of the puzzle. I think life is extremely more elaborate than common knowledge. The universe doesn't care about your feelings in regards to the nature of mechanics nor does it care what you think.
I feel like throwing my brain like a rag doll at life, going through what is occurring. Yes the news anchor shouldn't be reacting to my directed insults, but if he was on some amazing level, then I guess i'm boned and I really, really do not want to have to care what I think when around a person talking on my TV, that alone is unacceptable to me. I feel like I have right to insult as much as I want and the news anchor should just carry on like he felt nothing.
Before my psychosis those ideas never occurred to me. My thought broadcasting occurred with directed mind attacks. I just wonder if intention plays a massive part in thought broadcasting.
Mind and intention is probably the language animals speak with when they aren't making noises, it is how they orchestrate movements together or make elaborate choices, through holistic felt feelings and acting on it, it builds up psyche rapport to the animals in the group where their telepathy begins closer and closer to the origination of thought in the brain, allowing for instantons agreements whilst the human observer hears nothing.
It is all in the details and subtleties regarding the animal group's telepathy. Just use your imagination, you can see how tiny changes add up to a picture.
The smallest of smallest movements means the biggest things if it means a lot to you and your situation.
Ever seen those giant starling bird flock formations and movements on youtube?
They never touch each other, even with that speed and sudden change in direction. As a highly voted youtube comment said in the comments:
"Stunning! And not a single bird bumps into another. This just shows us what group cooperation and One-mindedness can do."
One-mindedness. Yeah. It is all fun and games until the intrusive thoughts kick in. Nonetheless, the starling bird flocks are strategically impressive.
I think there is a world to the mind and world connection, definitely. Just don't wait for culture to get to your standard of awareness.
Embrace the negative and positive parts of your experiences. I just find at time that squirming around the idea of thought broadcasting delays the physical occurrence of it in your life.
I have a phobia, fear and some irrationalities to get through. Sometimes I just accept i'm f**ked. Hopefully one day I can make a post saying I'm over thought broadcasting. But I don't think I ever will since the synchronicity (coincidental events) were real, visible with my eyes and totally related in time and place to my mind. And my mind feeling felt by others at a tiny nuanced level all day and night.
I don't like to think my cure is giving into a transparent mind but rather that my mind will make the world work for me again. I will be the driver of everything since at the moment, everything is in my head and 'see' and 'feel' it. I might as well get to work at making synchronicity work in full fluidity with my mind. With a little bit of acceptance and seeing how much power my brain has.
