    Science Blog on the microdosing of psychedleics

    Hello everybody! A colleague and me wrote a blog on microdosing for our university's science blog (University of Leiden). Sadly, I'm not allowed to repost the whole blog over here (yet) due to the university's publishing embargo policy, but here is the so-called "trailer" and a direct link to...

    Summer of Love Event (26th of May, Netherlands)

    Hi all, I was asked to bring this up on the forum. On the 26th of May 2017 there will be an event to celebrate 50 years since the first summer of love in "Amsterdam Noord", Netherlands. There will be a number of acts and a psilohuasca ceremony. For more information on the event take a look at...

    Babooons self-administrating LSD in experimental study

    I haven't bee here on this forum for a long time but I just came across this piece of, well, interesting science and this seemed like a good place to drop it, hehe. Obviously the author has her own research goals, but the interesting thing I take from this, by reinterpreting their admittedly...

    Psychedelic drugs, magical thinking and psychosis.

    Psychedelic drugs, magical thinking and psychosis. Carhart-Harris R. ABSTRACT: Psychedelic ('psyche'=soul/mind and 'delos'=to make visible or clear) drugs have been used for centuries in mystical ceremonies. In the 1950/60s they were used widely in psychotherapy, under the premise that...

    Creativity

    I haven't posted in a long time, but I got to think of creativity today, which reminded me of an old thread about the nature of the universe. And one thing that came up was whether the universe was creative or not. I don't want to get into that question but I did get the feeling that there were...

    Entity and Identity & Consciousness and Experience

    Haha, after finishing his book, I have to agree. It's funny actually.. I thought the guy was crazy in the beginning of the book.. then he started making some sense and thought he was getting at something, but in the final chapter it just became complete nonsense again, imo. Felt like a cheap...

    Magic Mushroom Growbox Kit

    Or make some mushroom soup :) Prepare the soup then when it's finished let it cool for 5 or 10 minutes. Add your fresh (or dried works just as well) magic mushrooms and enjoy! Not sure if you really have to let it cool, but I always did to be sure no psilocybine is lost. It tastes just like...

    Money should be discontinued.

    Ok I understand, the distinction you make is the exact same I would make, just using different words. So what you call Life, I call experience, and what you call Creation, I call existence. Terminology really is one of the biggest obstacles in philosophy, haha. Creating a lot of confusion when...

    Money should be discontinued.

    Haha, oh well, I think we do agree then that this state is our true nature, whether truly human or non-human. Probably most important is that, either way, it can be differentiated from the "ordinary" human state. Yes! That's exactly how I see it as well :D I used that analogy myself in the...

    Money should be discontinued.

    What I meant by common human imagination is imagination that is limited to being reactive in nature. For example I can imagine a forest with some birds and squirrels here and there, and some mushrooms on the ground. Or I can imagine a fictional animal that is a combination of a cat, turtle and...

    Money should be discontinued.

    I agree, though I would add that it is through becoming non-human that we can tap into this imaginative power, although this again depends on where you draw the line for what is human and not.. What kind of imaginings and popular whims do you mean? Common human "imagination" is still reactive in...

    But a demon could create the illusion that "I" is thinking while there is no "I" at all, but only thoughts, some of which include a concept of "I" ;) "cogitatus, (ergo) entitas est"

    Money should be discontinued.

    By "relation" I mean the relationship between observer and observed, between ego and the surrounding, subject and object. Synonymous for relation in this context would be Experience. Experience is all we have access to, it is all there is, it is existence. But the existence of experience...

    Money should be discontinued.

    Hehe, ya, you're right and I agree mostly, except.. The only thing that does not exist in relation to something else is existence itself (existence as a whole), i.e. the relation itself. And what is a human? Is he only part of existence, or all of existence..? I'd say in one way humans are...

    Entity and Identity & Consciousness and Experience

    Reading the book by Q. Meillassoux actually changed my mind a bit about the model. I've almost finished it, and the guy has some really good suggestions, in part 'compatible' with the model in this topic. Also reminds me of hindu-philospohy. Seems like western philosophy is finally starting to...

    Money should be discontinued.

    I don't think there is a "human nature", except for our nature to exist, or being existence. All other human traits and behaviours are only accidental. They evolve due to circumstances in the environment. Or more genereally they have their existence in the relation to our enviroment. Greed has...

    Btw maybe you'd be interested in this book by Quentin Meillassoux about his philosophy that he calls speculative materialism. I'm reading it for uni at the moment..

    Entity and Identity & Consciousness and Experience

    Yesterday I was thinking about a, I think, better way of defining Identity.. As so far it would be: Non-Entity --- (Entity --- Identity) But I thought that actually you can talk about "being something" as being something in particular, but you can also talk about "being something" as...

As to accept something as it is, is in a way to love it. So to actually accept everything as is it (yourself, other...

    hmm, ye "reducing" was probably the wrong word.. "understanding oneself in terms of (or seeing onself as) water/energy/consciousness" would come closer to what I meant. :) Ye, energy would probably be the link between material and spiritual.. But I'm not sure if there has to be such a...

    Haha, ye you're right. The universal law of karma I guess :). Ye, I didn't mean to say that it wasn't ok :lol:, was just explaining how Descartes'"I think, I am" was explained to me :). Also, to realize that you exist you have to doubt your existence first in my opinoin. If you never doubt...
  25. Mescaline

    i am therefore i think...

    Hmm, ye, from that perspective it might not be so wrong as I thought to say "I think, therefor I am". As long as you don't presume that the cause precedes the effect in time, but only in theory. That would work just as well for any of those other word pairs as well. Creator as cause of creation...

  27. Mescaline

    i am therefore i think...

    Actually the saying originally was "I think, I am" (btw, by Descartes in his Meditations, not Kant ;) - See Meditation II for the "I think, I am" part). Followers of Descartes later added the "therefor" in interpreting his philosophy. Personally I think they were wrong to do this. What Descartes...

I feel like the two just have to be in perfect balance, always...

But noone can do that for you of course.. sadly ;P Or did I miss your...

    Mind-Space, tripping without drugs

    All science is necessarily subjective because it describes reality as it appears to us, not as it truly "is". Pretty funny actually as the only way to get any objective knowledge is by taking ourselves out of the picture, which to me seems to be the realm of mysticism and spirituality.. which is...

    Truffles/Philosopher stones

    My first couple of psilocybine/psilocyne trips were with sclerotia, before I tried mushrooms. When comparing them to mushrooms, I'd say the sclerotia are less of a visual trip and more of a mind trip (but only in comparison, because they still are very visual in my experience). Or maybe its more...

But it feels like it's coming back because of what you wrote...

    Mystic visions/paralell worlds

    Hmm, I'm not sure I would call it time travel. I mean, all that really exists with respect to time is the present, don't you agree? Memories of the past are not in the past.. they are (experienced) in the present, same goes for ideas or visions of the future. And I'd say the same goes for what...

    Cannabis alternatives?

    Have to update my view on wild dagga. I've been smoking hardly any cannabis lately, maybe once every two weeks at the most. I smoked a wild dagga joint a while back, and it gave me a very noticeable stoned feeling. Small eyes, little forced smile, just quite a strong mellow feeling. It also gave...

    Seeing: Part 1 of Learning to Control your Mind

    If I understand you correctly (as you use a lot of concepts of which you don't actually seem to give a definition), I wouldn't say that what you call "other memory" has the property of time being relative. To me time appears non-existent in "other memory". I'm assuming what you refer to with...

    It seems that it cannot be translated. The only conclusion that appears to follow is that "I" only "seem to be" :P And this actually seems to be the case. It appears to be easy to assume that only subjective experience seems to exist. But as seemingly implied by the preceding sentence, a...

    Randomness vs. Synchronicity

    Yea, you are right, there seems to be nothing to be really known about reality outside of human experience for certain. Although.. it seems to be possible to infer some things.. If you assume what I said seems to be correct about people attributing causation and synchronicity to events, then it...
  48. Mescaline

    Randomness vs. Synchronicity

    But if synchronicity is a self-fulfilling prophecy, which I agree it could be, why then are causal relationships not a self-fulfilling prophecy? Synchronicity is an acausal relationship between events. Whereas causal relationships become evident to us through cause and effect, relationships of...

    Cocaine & Olanzapine

    It is true that both MDMA and cocaine act on dopamine to some extent, but MDMA primarily affects serotonin and to a lesser extent dopamine, while cocaine primarily acts on dopamine (and less on serotonin). That you are able to handle MDMA gives some reassurance that you will be ok doing cocaine...

Larzsolice, isn't it also more likely to find the kind of threads you are looking for in the sections called "Art & Philosophy" and "Meditation, yoga, qigong etc." instead of under "Psychonautic Research"? The description of the "Meditation .. etc." section actually...

    Psychonaut or Druggie?

    It was more of a rethorical question, and I probably shouldn't have said "alot of spiritual teachers", but the ones that I asked told me something along these line: Aside from it potentially being to overwhelming for some people (which can be overcome for a great deal by a good set and...

    Psychonaut or Druggie?

    To be honest, I've never met a person that knows the concept "psychonaut" and did not find out about it through some kind of drug related way, be it using themselves, or hearing it from somebody who uses. I agree that psychonaut literally means 'navigator of the mind', but I get the impression...

    Cannabis alternatives?

    I find Wild Dagga to be quite a nice smoke. It is nowhere near as strong as cannabis, but it does give me a very mild sedative, bit of a mellow feeling (smoked as a rather big joint with no tobacco or anything else added to it). I would compare the strength of the effects to tobacco, just giving...

    Cannabis Sativa, Indica, Haschich

    Actually it's the other way around ;) It's the THC that gets you (mentally) high and it's primarily the CBD that gets you (physically) stoned, or rather, makes up for the sedative effects. Sativa strains have relatively more THC and less CBD content opposed to Indica strains. Really high...

    Cocaine & Olanzapine

    And last but not least, I got one more on the use of MDMA (semi-psychedelic) in treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

    Haha :P But this means that the next point in the fractal equation is not completely independent of the preceding point in the equation. As it is dependent on, for example, "N+1". This in turn means that fractal equations are not genuinely creative in the sense that I was explaining. So as I...

    OBE's and NDE's

    Yes, I heard something along those lines as well, but the same goes for this as I told Illegalsmile: It is not about the ketamine experience as a whole. Just the fact that ketamine directly blocks NMDA receptors (it is a NDMA receptor antagonist), and the supposed observation that people under...

    OBE's and NDE's

    You are right, but I think you are taking the ketamine model too far. It is not that the whole ketamine experience is similar to an OBE, rather only that part of the experience that is caused by the blockade of the NMDA receptors, which is suggested to mediate the feeling of leaving the body...

    OBE's and NDE's

    So, I found the book again.. and more :D I've added a link to rapidshare where I uploaded a ZIP-file with loads of articles on the subject of NDEs and OBEs at the end of this post (including articles of studies similar to those mentioned before). A lot of the NDE articles also cover OBEs as it...

    OBE's and NDE's

    I think there have been some experiments done in regard to OBE's. I *think* they were briefly mentioned in one of my text books from a couple of years back. Don't know by heart what exactly they tested and what they concluded, but I'll see if I can find them again. Don't have much time now so...

    Nassim Haramein: genius or fraud? Flaws in theory.

    Okay, I know I don't post a lot (actually I barely post at all), and some of you might just dismiss me because of that (and because of the length of this post :wink:), but I really feel I have to say something about this whole discussion-gone-wild. What's up with all the ad-hominem arguments...

    Cardiotoxicity Associated with the Synthetic Cannabinoid, K9

    Nothing can really be said about this with any certainty. Scientisits have just started researching these chemicals since a relatively short while. Even this study is preliminary, and it only points to an association between K9 and cardiotoxicity, nothing has been proven. If two things go...
