Some people have completely detached themselves from reality, and it fascinates me.
I find it interesting that we see disconnecting from reality as any sort of respite or solution when one of our biggest problems is that so many of us are, in fact, wildly disconnected from reality. I wonder if escaping it is really of any benefit. Is it possible that some of this stress is self-inflicted? Maybe some of us are trying to worry enough to make up for all of those whom we feel aren’t worrying enough or at all. Unfortunately, that’s not really possible, and worrying for ourselves is probably already more than many of us are even capable of at this point.

Yes it does contribute to it, IMO. But, escape is healthy in order for mental health, to a certain degree. However, Escapism, complicity and privilege are intertwined/connected. Good podcast-thought provoking questions

💎 We ARE Conventionally Educated that We Only Have Five Senses EveryOne; what if there ARE 6+ More Senses Taught By Energetic Education, what is a dream especially THE NIGHTMARES!!! that We Wake Up in Cold Sweats from, what of Pleasant Dreams especially Wet Dreams 🤭🤫🤗 🤔 ?…ergo, In Short, if We Can Sense it it Must Be “A Reality” and The Perception of “Losing Grip On Reality” is also “A Reality” too; donch’ya THINK!!! EveryBody 🤔 ?
