Okay, but did you have to bring my mother into it? Joking.... I don't know if I would agree with the statement that "I" can only be defined by what my brain can store. According to quantum theory, I have no brian unless I am observing it. (No quoting that line on me ever!) Instead I would...

Fnord Very interesting, thanks for sharing. No, I'm not part of a government conspiracy to make people afraid. Quite the contrary, I am a published author on the subject of enlightenment, self-awareness and self-realization. My book, Becoming God (Shameless plug) is all about taking control...

I just want to say that I am loving this topic!! Below is a bit more of my few cents. I hope at the every least, whether you agree with me or not, that this will spark more philosophical pondering. I would completely agree that the identification of the "I" is at the crux of all of this. I...

I'm guessing this question is for me? My nickname is Ford, which derives from my last name. I'm not sure what you mean by "fnord", did I make a typo? Just call me Ford.

I think therefore I exist. The real question is what do "I" associate with existence? Am I physical? well, by definition, I am. Matter is energy, I am definitely energy, so from the perspective of the "person" typing this, I am physical. Am I a dream, a "Phantom" of my own imagination...

If I was surrounded by ignorance, the first thing that I would ask is: "What obvious thing am I not seeing that I am supposed to see?" Reality is a reflection of our inner self. It will always reflect an underlying picture of "me". If I want to reflect a different picture in the mirror, I...

Hi Rob, I really found this article interesting. I ended up getting lost on your blog for about an hour. Great stuff. We have a tremendous amount in common. I am also a Music Producer/ Composer (19 Gold & Platinum Creds to date) and I have also written a book on the nature of consciousness...

For the past few months I have been working on my First Solo Album, entitled "Psychonaut". After 15 years in the music industry and 19 Gold & Platinum plaques for producing and mixing other people, I decided to do something for myself and write and produce the album of my dreams. Well, I am...

I'm a full time music producer and auther on higher consciousness, so I guess you could say that it's a big part of my job to trip and anylize music. Because I produce mainly electronically/ roctronica - http://myspace/djford (for give the shameless plug) I tend to lean more toward electronic...

I completely agree. I have been an avid tripper for many years now, but I never smoked weed. I'm not a smoker, so getting past the smoking aspect of it just seemed to not be worth it. I made a wish one night while tripping that I could afford to be in that state of mind more often (both...

Yes, I find that interesting too. All of my experiences have shown me the importance of love and care for others in my reality; viewing reality as an extension of myself. I would never want to harm or sacrifice a part of myself, so I can't really understand how they drew this conclusion from...

Hi. I've been producing Commercial EDM for about 15 years professionally in the United States. Most of my work embodies a long list of Remixes where I have been fortunate enough to rack up 19 Gold & Platinum Credits. I also wrote and produced 7 Billboard Dance Top 20's over the last 9 years...

True. ATL

Traumatic may be a strong word. It was certainly difficult, and by far the most difficult thing I have ever gone through in my life. Had I been alone I believe that I would have harmed myself. I would have done ANYTHING to stop the misery I was experiencing. I have nearly drowned in the...

My wife has never had a bad experience. I have had one out of hundreds of journeys. I cannot really say that it was a bad experience. It was terrifying at the time. A feeling of ubber responsibility and a sensation of "Drowning" in my own reality. In retrospect however, it was probably one...
