Question

What do you think of the "wonderland" effect and does it disprove religion
I didn't know about this till a month ago but the one rule here is if you are wanting to be sincere in trying this you can't use any kind of drug as then you are just high not experiencing it through your mind.

This sincerely makes me wonder if religion is all false after experiencing this as it plays on the same system. Atheist Anton Levey used this.

This is MY version of the wonderland effect though.

Also this is best done in a group and may not work alone. This was awesome fun

Come up with names like the dark forest or Zargon hill for places in your city have a story behind it like Barney the purple alien is the protector of the city have weapons like the sword of bahmouth or some creative line. Create a story have some enemy attack you or the city have some hero. The important part is you have people go out on missions. Usually toghether and have some mythical figure you are looking to meet or puzzle to solve. Visualize rainbow like colors or castles something beautiful and go to places like the forest at the end of the world. Visualize at some point being in a field with flowers pink skies a unicorn and hopping over a rainbow into the magical forest or visualize yourself flying in a space ship up near Jupiter all is open.

It depends on the pre set up rules to the game by all people involved and the complexity of the mission this may take awhile

Answer 1

that was shown to be fallacious AGES ago.



Some would say William James dispatched it over a hundered years ago.

Answer 2

I don't see how that would disprove religion. What does that even have to do with it?



It sure sounds like my kind of thing, though!

I want to meet people who are all into doing that, and join them on one of their "missions". :-P

Yay, tripping without the drugs, or returning to childhood without a time machine, or whatever the heck this is... Do they have any organized groups of Wonderland enthusiasts somewhere? :D :D :D

Answer 3

It doesn't disprove religion or anything else.

It is not a high, it is not euphoria.



The wonderland effect is simply the unscientific name for "micropsia", a condition affecting human visual perception in which objects are perceived to be smaller than they actually are.

It can be caused by optical factors (such as wearing glasses), by physiological changes to the shape of the retina, by changes in the brain (such as from traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, migraines, prescription drugs, and illicit drugs), and from psychological factors.



It is not a "fun" thing, it is a medical condition.



If you want to come up with a game, that's fine.

Answer 4

Nothing can prove or disprove religion. That is why it is called faith.
