    Very cool! Thank you for sharing.

    Just pushing the boundaries of mind. I get what he's saying.

     I suspect it might be a grand ideology that seekers buy into, and end up reaching through confirmation bias via altered states. I also suspect that the problem is that I'm too grounded in the materialist paradigm, since I have not had many higher states.

    Why though? Both actuality and logic are absolutely subjective so to speak.

    One subjective appearance is trying to to depict another subjective appearance with a third subjective appearance. 

    Surely if one wanted to disqualify an argument which threatens his worldview it would be easy to dismiss it all as "just thoughts."


  3. What troubles me lately is the function of a brain to turn off the ability to
    distinguish reality from imagination. It happens everytime we dream,
    because the weird things in a dream would immediately be recognized as not real
    in a conscious state, but in order for the dream to keep
    going we gotta have the ability to ignore the weirdness - to perceive it as normal and real.

    Guess what, the brain is activating that function using its own secreted DMT.

    Now who's to say that psychedelics don't do just that: turn off the
    brain's ability to distinguish imagination from reality. This is a scary
    thought because it threatens all the insights we bring back.

    Of course one may take enlightenment to be a purely subjective experience which affects
    one's own relationship to mental objects and still get all the cool benefits -
    wouldn't that be quite reasonable to admit?
