Elder Scrolls is literally the least “fash” fantasy out there. Yes, I am a huge fucking nerd, no I am not white, I’ll see you in the comments mother fucker, I KNOW THE LORE! FIGHT ME!
What the fuck is CHIM.
CHIM, is In my humble, conjecture based option, is kirkbride’s way of synthesizing eastern and western philosophy. To understand you are nothing and to believe that you are everything. To know that you are a personality construct in an uncaring god-head, while also having the ego to believe your identity is worth asserting. To see the wheel on its side and see the tower and to see the tower spells “I”. To hold these two contradictory beliefs is to achieve CHIM. Comprehension of the godhead without ego is to zero-sum (Kagranak), ego all encompasing is to be a Sharmat, a false dreamer (DagothUr). Hope that clears it up! Make sure to buy Skyrim !
Thats really cool but how does this make people be able to bend reality, is it a pure force of ego and will that is able to bend the dream once you fully grasp your place in it?
Yeah basically. Once you realize, once you know, that you are in a dream, in real life, you wake up (zero sum), but if you somehow maintain your dream identity with this knowledge you become a lucid dreamer in a sense.
