The Phillip Experiment

[nazz]

Subjective / objective - not a useful distinction for this stuff. I was just playing. Experimenting. The strange stories are a bonus.

I have a friend who is into Taoism and we were instant messaging one night and he asked "did you feel that?" And I began to feel as if I had been drugged and had to go lie down for a while. When I came back he said he sent me some ch'i. Made me a believer.

Did you feel it only after you read that message?

I felt it after he asked it I felt something. But I had no idea what it was or what he had done till later when he told me.

Maybe 'Phillip' entered the mind of that person who 'made him up'?

Just speculatin'
