    Terrorist McKenna

    i think the word 'religion' is entirely meaningless unless it is understood in its true, LITERAL etymological sense (from the latin) religion = re - ligio = RE-CONNECTING the essence of true religion is the experience of reconnecting (ie re-establishing a broken link) to the divine source of...

    Terrorist McKenna

    it really annoys me when i read people's DMT trip reports that have just BLATANTLY ripped off Mckenna's DMT trip report, people should be original and describe what THEY experience in THEIR own words but Mckenna was totally invaluable to me when my eyes were first opened by the entheogens, his...

    Elves....You seen them?

    i never said there was a 'point' in my podcast (or in anything) the point is that there is no point in anything - nothing matters but the fact that there are no facts ( :wink: ) is not just limited to my podcast, so i would have to put this warning note over the whole universe, not just my...

    hmmmmmm *scratches chin* it depends on what a 'philosopher' is :twisted: and also on what a 'statement' is are there any true statements? Maybe im dreaming that im being a philosopher

    Elves....You seen them?

    anything i say i can fully substantiate, unlike James Kent there ARE no facts!!!! Because nothing is true, a fact, by definition, has to be true - how could i apply that to my podcast? :?: btw i never said there was no big bang :lol: there may or may not have been a big bang, or the big...

    Psychonautica 71 - interview with Jan Irvin

    thanx man i totally forgot to post the Metzner talk this issue came up in a thread on TGR ages ago, in which i was sceptical, and now that you mention it i think in the podcast i was subconsciously responding more to that thread than i was to Metzner's talk. The thing i was sceptical about...

    How big is the universe ?

    no it is a meaningless speculation, the universe might be 100 billion years old, it might be 1 billion years old, or it might go back forever this number assumes, entirely baselessly, that the big bang theory is true, it might not be

    How big is the universe ?

    it might not be 13.7 billion years old, that's just speculation

    Are there Substances that can be taken gingival (=gums)?

    Salvia Divinorum is often taken via the gums, you can get alcohol tincture which is to be used this way (hold it in your mouth for about 15 mins then spit it out) and the traditional 'quid' method of chewing the leaves uses absobtion through the gums

    What do you think of the machine elves?

    But this presents a paradox, because the word 'I' refers to pure subjectivity
  20. M

    What do you think of the machine elves?

    i dont understand what you mean, why may objectivity exist somewhere? everything is subjective because consciousness constitutes reality
  21. M

    What do you think of the machine elves?

    why? it stands to reason that everything is subjective, the existence of anything objective is purely speculation, just an arbitrary hypothesis based on no evidence whatsoever EVERYTHING is subjective, so yes 8) this ^ is a contradiction, experiences are, by definition, entirely subjective

    Horrible problem(s)

    exactly, the 'hyperreality' of the intense solipsistic state completely eclipses the level of reality of waking consciousness, from the point of view of divine solipsism, life is an insane delusion. nothing is real, i dont think this is debatable, it is self-evident truth yes a neverending...

    5g Dried + 1.5g Syrian Rue, What to expect

    maybe it can 'partly' see it, 'hindrance' does not imply complete stoppage which enzyme is responsible for metabolising psilocybin? Maybe mao-inhibitors partly inhibit this enzyme
  28. M

    5g Dried + 1.5g Syrian Rue, What to expect

    i disagree with this ^ i think that what you have read from these scientists, is merely establishing the fact that psilocybin is active WITHOUT an mao inhibitor, which is obvious and common knowledge. Because of stearic hindrance the mao cant see the psilocybin. But maybe the mao only partially...

    Who thinks psychadelics are more than drugs?

    the whole world is just interactions between neurons, on one level of description, ie the way you can see aq computer screen in front of your eyes now, is because somehow your brain is creating an image of one but this is the boring level of description
  33. M

    Horrible problem(s)

    this ^ is an entirely meaningless and redundant thing to say, because the word 'real' doesnt mean anything nothing is real
  34. M

    5g Dried + 1.5g Syrian Rue, What to expect

    in my experience it is a very strong combination, it more than doubles the intensity of the mushrooms there's an article about it by James Kent here: http://leda.lycaeum.org/?ID=16337
  35. M

    Who thinks psychadelics are more than drugs?

    nobody ever claimed that ^ the problem is that debating over whether something (like DMT elves) is 'real' or not is completely meaningless, because there is no way of defining what 'real' means
  36. M

    Who thinks psychadelics are more than drugs?

    yes im talking about psychedelics/entheogens, ie drugs that elicit religious/mystical experiences alcohol isnt one because it doesnt cause these kinds of experiences, its use in modern christianity is just a placebo
  37. M

    Who thinks psychadelics are more than drugs?

    they are *special* drugs, because they are connected with religion/mysticism they are sacred sacraments

    philosophers who pre-dated Socrates all the ancient Greek philosophers were totally psychedelic

    Elves....You seen them?

    if we cant agree on what it means to be 'real', then i dont understand the point of debating if dmt elves (or HPPD, or anything) is 'real' there are more important and relevant questions to ask about dmt elves, like what do they show us about the mind
  41. M

    Elves....You seen them?

    it is a pointless word game to debate about whether or not something is real yes/no nothing is real, nobody knows what 'real' even means

    isn't the world exclusively brought into existence by flooding the nervous system with serotonin?
  43. M

    Elves....You seen them?

    does being a creation of the mind mean being unreal? i dont think 'real' has any definition, it doesnt mean anything, nothing is real
  44. M

    Elves....You seen them?

    it's the central question of whether they are 'real' or not imo restin said that to be real is to be 'independant' from mind, this means (in the specific context of dmt elves) the same as to be 'acting independantly' - ie out of the control of the person when we ask 'are dmt elves real?' we...
  45. M

    Elves....You seen them?

    ive never heard anyone say that DMT elves are anywhere other than 'in the mind' you see them when you close your eyes, nobody claims that dmt elves exist in 3-dimensional space but to say that this makes them 'unreal' sounds a bit strange, they certainly seem to be completely outside of the...

    Strassman studied DMT and wrote a book about it, i dont know what more could be studied beyond what he aleady did

    The Power of Now

    his philosophy is great, it is enlightened philosophy BUT the problem with Tolle imo is how he doesnt connect up his own life-changing satori experience, to his philosophy, this makes his philosophy pretty much useless that, and also the fact that he talks moronically simplistic shit about drugs

    What Is Consciousness?

    "The being of consciousness is consciousness of being" - Sartre
  56. M

    What Is Consciousness?

    Sartre distinguished between pre-reflexive consciousness and reflexive consciousness pre-reflexive consciousness looks into the world as is aware of objects reflexive consciousness looks at itself and is aware of being aware of objects in the world they are both forms of consciousness
  57. M

    What Is Consciousness?

    'Consciousness' is synonymous with 'awareness' so this^ has no meaning
  58. M

    What Is Consciousness?

    you become aware of consciousness when you *see* it to see the mind, it must become manifest, to make the mind become manifest, you ingest entheogens normally consciousness is like a perfectly still pool of water, you look at the relflections of the world in the surface, but you dont see the...

    What Is Consciousness?

    Art/movies/books inspired by higher consciousness?

    it's hardly a 'psychological theory', it is just a simple way of taxonomising states of consciousness. Being awake and being asleep are 2 entirely distinct states of experience, regardless of whether there are some 'transitional' states between them the whole point of it is that the...
  61. M

    Horrible problem(s)

    are you still taking risperidol now? (sorry if you already answered this)
  62. M

    Art/movies/books inspired by higher consciousness?

    right so you could form a further category for 'transitional' states of consciousness, like falling asleep, or coming up on a trip, BUT this leads to an infinite regress if it is taken too literally (ie - what is in the transition between closing your eyes and entering a hypnagogic state?)...
  63. M

    Art/movies/books inspired by higher consciousness?

    but they are all the same, in the sense that they are 'psychedelic', ie they all have some common feauture that brings them together under the banner of 'psychedelic'. It isnt that they are all exactly the same, it is that they all share the feature of being 'psychedelic', and as such they are...
  64. M

    Art/movies/books inspired by higher consciousness?

    they dont count because they dont make you trip, ie they dont make you experience the psychedelic state of altered consciousness
  65. M

    Art/movies/books inspired by higher consciousness?

    any drug that makes you trip i mean 'the psychedelic state of altered consciousness'
  66. M

    Art/movies/books inspired by higher consciousness?

    the point is that these 3 can all be distinguished from each other, so all of life fits into one of these 3 states, awake, asleep and tripping. You can further sub-categorize them, but they are the most basic, essential elements of life experience. If you think there are many, what others are...
  67. M

    Art/movies/books inspired by higher consciousness?

    I agree, intelligence is definitely a factor of how people interpret and learn from psychedelic experiences, some people are more intelligent than others. But my point is that life consists of these 3 states of consciousness, there is no life 'outside of' being awake, being asleep/unconscious...
  68. M

    Art/movies/books inspired by higher consciousness?

    Life can be broadly divided along experiential lines, to determine the fundamental categories of experience - you have 1.ordinary waking states of consciousness, 2.sleep/dream states of consciousness, and 3.Mystical/religious-altered states of consciousness 'Higher consciousness' could be...

  73. M

    Horrible problem(s)

    yes exactly, having a schizoid episode, is much like having an opportunity to look at your own mind (whereas normally the mind is invisible) and the same applies to taking psychedelic drugs (in fact that is the precise meaning of the word 'psychedelic' - to make the mind become visible)...

    Horrible problem(s)

    well that's exactly what im saying, entheogens are (among other things) training drugs for mind-doctors entheogens cause a kind of temporary schizophrenia, they show you how your mind works, but since they are 100% off-limits for psychiatrists, it means that psychiatrists are in a state of...

    Horrible problem(s)

    you have to assume that the structure of the human mind is fundamentally the same in all humans (psychiatrists certainly use this assumption). Schizophrenia is the same condition, no matter who is experiencing it No, what i am saying is similar (in fact almost identical) to saying that if...
  82. M

    Nothing

    but "This can't be perceived" is short for "This THING can't be perceived" (ie you arent talking about the word 'nothing', you are talking about what the word refers to, but it doesnt refer to anything) which makes it a contradiction, because nothing isnt something

    DMT trip - what happens in the brain?

    no the opposite, i think practically nothing is 'known', we have models with a certain degree of explanatory power, but that is not 'knowledge' no not at all, my point is that science hasnt been able to shed any light whatsoever on the relationship between the brain and conscious experience...

    DMT trip - what happens in the brain?

    DMT trip - what happens in the brain?

    DMT trip - what happens in the brain?

    The problem is that brain chemistry is impossible to connect up to conscious experience, so asking 'what happens in the brain?' does not provide any kind of meaningful explanation about the actual DMT trip itself DMT fits into serotonin receptors, as does LSD, psilocybin and most psychedelics...
