Hello, I'm Blind_Goat. You can just refer to me as Blind or BG. It's ok. I'm searching for knowledge, not a native english speaker (sorry for any weird sentence construction, but i believe it can be turned in a good thing, like Joseph Conrad did), but I try to make my best. I'm very interested in DMT, LSA and LSD: extraction techniques, experiences and dosage. I like to think in complex questions of consciousness, and trying to write a book about it. I'm graduated in Philosophy: my thinking has this "accent" but I'm opened to learn with everybody. In the past, i had experiences with a pletora of substances: ecstasy, LSD, DMT, Cocaine and mostly marijuana, but I really sticked only with DMT, LSD, LSA and marijuanna (and, of course, a homebrew beer. I apreciate it a lot). "Whenever we pronounce something, we singularly devalue it. We believe we have plunged deep into abysses, but when we resurface, the drop of water on the pale tips of our fingers no longer resembles the sea from which it comes. We dream of having discovered marvelous treasures in a mine, but when we return to the light of day, we bring back only fake stones and shards of glass; nevertheless, the treasure gleams, unchanged, in the darkness." (Maeterlinck)

Thanks! "Whenever we pronounce something, we singularly devalue it.

Greetings. We're happy to have you. Philosophy is an ongoing study and passion of mine as well. Here is a philosophic thread I'm working on you may find stimulating. What have your psychedelic experiences been like and what have they done for you? Be well One love What if the "truth" is: the "truth" is indescernible/unknowable/nonexistent? Then the closest we get is through being true to and with ourselves. Know thyself, nothing in excess, certainty brings insanity- Delphic Maxims DMT always has something new to show you  Question everything... including questioning everything... There's so much I could be wrong about and have no idea... All posts and supposed experiences are from an imaginary interdimensional being. This being has the proclivity and compulsion for delving in depths it shouldn't. Posts should be taken with a grain of salt. 👽

I would certainly like to check out this aforementioned topic. My first psychedelic experiences were with marijuana. Gave me a lot of insights. Under its effects, I filled out a total of 12 small notebooks that I use as if stored ideas in which I can articulate to compose larger texts. I have been thinking since childhood about death. A lot of my experiences (notably with LSD) have been in noticing my presence in the world and the opportunity involved in it. When I use microdoses of DMT (not enough to make the breakthrough) I have very vivid dreams involving, as a rule, my dog that died 2yrs ago.

You'd never have had me guess you weren't a native English speaker - my compliments! “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

yeah! I'm thinking a new approach to the problem... in short, I think that due to the essentialist approach to the question, a lot has been thought about "what is consciousness" and little progress has been made on the subject. We ask about conscience as Plato thought about justice. Naturally, this approach is not fruitless, but limited, as it hides a facet of the question that interests us equally, namely: how does consciousness operate? Assuming that consciousness would be made possible by a material medium, it makes sense that if a certain organization of materiality is the case, it would also be, by necessity, that this organization of materiality be repeatable, that is: that consciousness is repeatable. So the question is not what consciousness is, but whether or not it is repeatable. My investigation starts from there. "Whenever we pronounce something, we singularly devalue it.

I think languages can be programmed into genetic memory. It is a bold thesis. Meets resistance at university but I can understand that we understand little about DNA "Whenever we pronounce something, we singularly devalue it.

I'm not sure how far in you are, but I can't limit my answer to one aspect The things that stuck out the most to me (partly because I was already interested in them) are his use of paradoxical facets (which his stance seems to change over time, and he doesn't lean so much towards paradoxes being something that needs to be solved), nesting, recursion, the implications of the Incompleteness Theorems, the implications of TNT and other formal logical systems, ways in which these aspects can be seen in other "closed" systems such as music, the mind, DNA... I could go on. I love that book. I'm actually about to reread it soon. BTW, we're best friends now One love What if the "truth" is: the "truth" is indescernible/unknowable/nonexistent?
