Déjà vu
[RESEARCH NOTES FROM THE EARLY WRITINGS OF STEVEN E ROBERTSON, RECOVERED FROM THE YUNIPTER ENCRYPTION: NFT FILE no. ]
Scientific literature indicates that déjà vu is a temporary chemical mix of neurotransmitters that create the perceptual pathway of recalling a memory rather than experiencing the current moment, well… currently. This also implies a momentary ‘artificial state.’ But how can one experience an ‘artificial’ state if the phenomenon is occurring with and within our evolved biological hardware? What if our entire lives were experienced with this alternate perceptual pathway? What if everyday felt like a recurring dream? What if this were the ‘true’ perception, as opposed to our amnesiatic-like status quo?
Our current perception is a hallucination. Albeit one that we become comfortable with and accustomed to. During a substance induced hallucination, it’s just another state of chemical experience. Many hallucinogenic compounds and nootropic formulae are naturally occurring, even produced in small amounts by our own bodies. So, it’s really a question of homeostatic balance. If our balanced state were different due to some evolutionary path, perhaps you would be experiencing reality in a completely different way, and experiencing that as the norm!
If our brains developed an evolutionary trick to experience the world the way we do, perhaps it was due to negative selection or genetic drift. Maybe we evolved out of and away from a more ‘true paradigm.’ The feeling and understanding that we’ve all done this before could be the norm. We’ve all been here before, ‘perhaps’ at the very least. We’ve made the same mistakes already, and we almost always repeat these experiences in similar ways. As they say, history rhymes. Perhaps otherwise we’d learn our lessons instead of reviewing them over and over. Perhaps then we’d stop repeating history’s evil rhymes, but continue to sing its sweetest spells.

Transmigrated Into a Blind Woman’s Body
"What?!?!” Seeing nothing in her view, she then opened her eyes that had a blindfold covering around her eyes. Seeing colors appear before her as she saw blue in her view, then feeling sadness from above which made her heart ache. ‘Is this… another sense… for my eyes.’ Thinking about it, she did not know if any of this was real or not. “Ning’er! Your awake!” Hearing a woman say, she was hugged by the woman when she could not see who they were. “My silly daughter! Why did you jump into that pond?!” Hearing the woman crying, she had no idea who this was. ‘W-Where did I end up at?!’ Not knowing where she had gone, her mind ran with thoughts since the last thing she could recall was the sound of the bus that she took crashing. *** Time skip… “Are you really fine with a blind woman like me as your wife?” Lin Ning asked the man who had proposed to her. “How many times have I told you.” Wrapping the woman with his single arm, he sealed her lips with his. “Do not ever call yourself a blind woman. You are the woman that I chose out of all of them.” “But…” “Do you regret falling in love with this cripple man?” Cutting her off, he did not allow her to finish.
