      A black pill, then, is essentially a mix of a blue pill and red pill. It wakes you up and makes you aware of the matrix (like the red pill) but it doesn't remove you from being embedded in, you stay inside the simulation (like the blue pill).

      Ok so here's the thing about the world that we live (as opposed to the dystopian sci-fi of the movies): there are no blue pills (you can't unsee what has been seen) and no red pills (there's no escaping this matrix). There are only black pills and white pills in this world.

      Just so we're all on the same page here: the matrix is a metaphor for the causes and conditions that create the ground from which ordinary mind arises. Conventional sense of self, ego/identity, socialization, The Big Other, ideology, culture/tribe/nation, history, and memory.

      There's an abundance of black-pill experiences available to anyone who goes seriously looking for them. Also a subject for another thread but they all involve the felt presence of experience that is undeniable and breaks through the defensive screens and filters of ordinary mind.

      The problem with this experience is that it leaves you cold. Once you see what your involved in and stuck with and how your life has been a product of it and how your suffering arises from mistaken beliefs about it, well, what comes next? Not obvious. It's a struggle.

      The struggle to make sense of the world once you have been black pilled and seen through the illusory veil of ignorance is itself an enormous cause of suffering that often results in nihilistic deconstruction of both ego/identity and culture/tribe/nation as coherent categories.

      Losing your sense of self and your sense of place in the world is traumatic. This is an emotional wound that may be a necessary first step but it can't be the end of things. It should be the sense of a beginning, rather than an ending.

      So what comes after the black pill experience? Purification of the black pill into the white pill. I use the term "purification" with caution here but I think it fits. The thing being purified, however, is not YOU. You're not corrupt or impure. It's the pill that gets purified.

      You cannot purify the black pill without having first swallowed it. White pills are not found in that state in the wild. In fact, they're not found in the wild, period. "White Pill" is just a pointer that indicates the process of internal transformation AFTER taking a black pill.

          Yes, it does sound like it. But for me, seeing that any of the supposed outside ‘plan’ & ‘judgement’ there was for me was not real, was a great relief. ‘Was there ever a wider sea?’ as Nietzsche said. I don’t mind the lack of absolutes or of permanence. The idea of (1/2)

          ‘becoming what we are’ is fun, because though we are part of the ongoing determinism of our universe, we still get to see through our resulting ‘choices’ exactly what kind of people we are, which priorities are truly most important to us, etc. (2/2)
