Third eye drops are intended for open-minded adults.

Now administering the third eye drops. What is a thought? What is a feeling? What is an idea? What is a taste? What is a color? What is a stink?

Of course, they're all subjective experiences that we often assign incredible value to.

In a lot of ways they are the things that define the human experience.

I mean, I spend an ordinance amount of time

grumbling about restaurant choices, movie theater, seats where I want to sit on a plane dipping

sauces, all because I want to have a quote unquote better subjective experience.

Yet if I zoom into any of it, any feeling, any idea,

I find vapor like an influx transitory occurrence in the atmosphere of my consciousness that is not

really anywhere.

It fades as soon as it appears. And I don't think that necessarily implies that these experiences

are without any value, but they are incredibly impermanent.

And I don't want to undersell their significance.

So let's take even an incredibly impactful experience like being stricken with grief because of a tragedy.

Because it can and probably will cripple you at some point in your life.

But my point is for how long?

A week? A month, a few months?

That too fades. fades, it scars over and people continue on with their lives and can function fully again.

And there are endless reams of philosophy dealing with this stuff, of course.

Decart thought he had it explained by saying that there was a mind-body dualism

that the stuff of the mind wasn't in the physical world at all.

And that's why it escapes empirical measurement.
