similiar to my avatar picture, i have on several occasions felt innately compelled to "bow and worship" entities i have met. I felt as if they were sacred and divine and the act of my bowing and worshipping felt as if i had no control over and was somehow engrained in me to recognize that divinity and to bow to it. I felt unworthy as if the air itself was to perfect for me to consume in this divine place. This does NOT happen alot but i found it interesting. It is unnatural for me to bow to anything or anyone in real life, i'm extremely independant and skeptical.

the very last time it happened i was dreaming of a firey cloud which had a pyramid within it, once i went inside the pryamid it was as if the space inside was divine. I thought i remember seeing tapestry and there was a man sitting alone on a throne. I guess now that i reflect he was very christ-like in appearance (I normally see hindu like gods) i immediatly bowed next to his right hand and he spoke to me. I cannot remember a single word of what he asked. I do remember begging him to let me remember the vision (he said ok).

Mh, well. Entities see you as divine as them.

Everything has its place in this universe. And I believe worshipping might be a normal reaction to some of those spirits. If you gain something in return, I wouldn't analyze it too much.

Once I channeled a song into this world by an entity who was enourmously powerful. And she liked the human sing a song for her and the universe.

I like to think that we are one. So an entity shares the same consciousness as I, the same spirit/soul/energy. Like in a dream the beings in my dreams appear to have autonomy, but they are manifestations of one mind. Mine.
I see this as analogous to all that is. Just as we dream autonomous beings we do not see as being our own mind, so does the universe.
When we discover a being we see as divine or that requires us to worship in some way, we are discovering a part of our self, but precieve it like a dog barking at it's own reflection. We do not see it as self we see it as other. But through establishing a relationship with the other we enter a path of discovering an awareness of self within the other... With the possabiliry of discovering our mutual oneness.

I personally would not worship anything because it would not encourage the humble awareness of our oneness in another being.

some humans bow to each other as a sign of how they recognize the divinity in each other.

"The spirit in me respects the spirit in you," "the divinity in me bows to the divinity in you," are for example (modern) interpretations of the greeting "namaste".

Maybe... if the divinity is everywhere and you recognize it in these entities... that just means you're very well tuned to the experience, because you can recognize it's entirety i.e. its divinity. Furthermore mabybe these entities are higher developed beings (if you want to take them literal) or parts of yourself that are higher developed and starting to break through to your entirety (if you want to look at it from a developmental-consciousness kind of view), and by being higher developed they make you feel like they are divine, simply because you have to, metaphorically be looking up to see them. In that sense, perhaps if you could look farther and past them in that direction you would see the divinity anyway (considering it should also be found by "looking up", and see it shining through them...

maybe...

I had this once, when I met that Being who dwells at the center of the universe... An irresistible force made me put my hands together in front of my chest, forming some kind of a mudra which made it possible for my body to channel the energy of that state/being... I definitely had this Christian feel to it, like coming back to a Father who is love and justice at the same time (on two different levels)... But it would be incorrect to say that "bowing and worshipping" in this situation is some sort of submission. It's more like an alchemical necessity: in the presence of this energy all worldly types of energies (lower frequencies?) must be left behind (purified). In such a situation, devotion works like a key.

its as you stated its as if my "spirit" immediatly recognizes and acknowledges the divinity within the being. this does NOT happen with all "entities" i encounter in hyperspace...it seems to be an autonomous reaction to these very rare encounters with angelic like beings. Again it was strange as even the air and the SPACE within this pyramid felt...well divine and that i was truely unworth of occupying this space at this point in my development.

I know it ment something as it tends to go against my nature to bow to anything...this however was different on a level i am not consciouslly aware of.

Following my white light experience and encounter with the godhead on my second ayahuasca experience, once I was able to stand up and went bounding around my living room in a state of pure bliss, I bowed down on my knees, resting my forehead and hands on the floor, and it felt like such a natural and thankful gesture....almost like a reflex

I think in such cases bowing is a reflex which helps the exchange of energy through the crown chakra. You could also view it as presenting the largest surface of your brain to favorise information flow.
Maybe the top of our brain, with it's thin layer of bone and skin is best suited to receiving and sending signals of the subtlest kind, and maybe we intuitively know this. Like when you want to hear a faint sound better you reflexively turn your ears in that direction, if you want to perceive a visual signal, you quite naturally stare at it.
Could be the same with bowing: you want to connect with subtle signals better, so you instinctively turn the largest surface area of your brain that way.

I've never felt compelled to worship an entity per-say, but there are times that I find myself worshipping the entirety of existence. Hell part of the reason I use these rituals is that they reconnect me with my source which naturally makes me want to worship the very fabric of creation...

Once I met a divine-seeming entity I did not bow to, but fled from (only time I've had a violently physical reaction to an experience)... and there are some I see as divine... I like y'alls theories on bowing. They strike a note with me.

'I bowed down at his feet to worship him, but he told me, "Don't do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who rely on what Jesus is saying. Worship God, because what Jesus is saying is the spirit of prophecy!"' -Revelation 19:10, ISV-

Having read your report, I was reminded of this bible verse and wanted to share it. Perhaps what John saw in his apocalyptic visions was a view of hyperspace and the entities that reside there. I've been having these thoughts that perhaps the whole of our religious texts are pitiful attempts to try and explain this world that just cannot be put into our language.

When i had some chaliponga aya i came to a mindstate where i worshoped not an entity but the molecule itself...

I guess you could say that was the day i started believing in the power of love...

sort of
"i humble myself before that which is"
is how i worship the non-entity of all
by removing the concept of self from between me and the sacred
and without the wall there...

I bow before the beauty of all things
i surrender myself to that which is
I prostrate myself before the alter of existence

or like they say
Nah Mah Shi Vai Yah, OHM

I pay heed to the trimurti, the non-deity non-entity
that without characteristic

and hyperspace is a very good place to do that
but not the only one

My first experience I felt that the entity was God(s). It felt like a personal visit, and the being(s) had multiple heads and were basically telling me everything that they were, that is the Universe and everything. I almost felt like converting to Hinduism, since I thought the being was Krishna.
Later I realized these are common effects of this drug. It is an entheogen after all. Feeling in the presence of God is definitely an innate human feeling, that is any human can feel in that state due through many different ways I'm sure.
The curious thing to ponder is why and how it evolved?

I've contemplated a rather sinister reason about why the 'god experience' may have evolved in the human organism. I don't personally believe what I'm about to share, but it's worth mentioning for discussion purposes.

Think about this for a moment. There are several plants and animals in the natural world that lure in their prey through trickery. A venus flytrap is a pretty decent example, but there are plenty of others too. Biology tells us that these tricky predators developed specialized ways of gathering their food based upon natural selection. Now we humans tend to take for granted that we are the most dominate species on the planet and no organism preys upon us naturally. But what if we really aren't at the top of the food chain at all, what if the 'entities' we encounter in hyperspace are? If we can use our imaginations here for the purpose of theorizing, if a race of beings reaches a certain point of outliving the resources of its natural world it MUST find a way to evolve to compensate for running out of a food source or perish. Think of the Matrix for a moment where when the humans and machines first waged war on each other the humans blotted out the sun to cut off the machines fuel source, only the human race ended up becoming their source of fuel once they didn't have solar power anymore. That's sort of what I'm getting at here.

What if, as an evolutionary advantage, the beings in hyperspace learned how to stop consuming physical matter for sustanance and instead extract energy directly from their prey instead? When you think about it, our entire digestive system is designed to convert matter into energy, but it spends a large amount of energy in the conversion process itself, plus this process creates waste. Doesn't seem like the most effective way of extracting energy for a food source. What if the beings in hyperpsace have evolved to feed directly on our energy, most of the time without us knowing about it. Ever been in a bad mood for a reason you couldn't really explain? Who's to say that's not a negative (I hesitate to use the word negative) entity feeding on your emotions and psychically draining you without your knowledge. You interpret it as a bad day here in 3D space, but from a higher perspective your emotions are a tasty snack to a higher lifeform.

Perhaps what the whole 'god experience' is about is when we become aware that there is a realm higher than ours through psychedelics, those beings over there are sort of caught in the act. As an evolutionary advantage of being a hyperspacial creature, perhaps a defense mechanism they achieved through evolution would be to sedate us somehow with mesmerizing colors and visions and when we do actually encounter the entities themselves, perhaps the feelings of love and euphoria are actually a sinister defenseive mechanism to keep their food source from escaping them. This sort of plays into some Gnostic concepts but taking into account modern theories of evolutionary advantage.

Unfortunately for us, this is probably hard to wrap our minds around because we as humans have never had to question what an organism that preyed upon us would be like. We sort of assume they would eat our bodies like we eat other animals bodies, however maybe that's too short sighed and we need to think a little more outside the box.

You say "the beings in hyperspace". What we're really getting at here is plants though, they've dominated the earth for far longer than we have, the species are ancient. We evolved through eating plants... they could have easily conspired to create us, they are a hidden and obvious force. Who knows what communications take place between plants over millennia - there could certainly be a higher order of politics...

I wonder, if they have come into the world as we have, blind at first. And I wonder what kind of existence it must be... is suicide even possible? These things live until the earth turns to rubble... just wow...

Well respect deeply etc. but not worship. To some jesters met in hyperspace, I'd rather say "F:K off" with humble respect

Hi,

I hold deepest respect for entheogenic plants, in this case jurema. I think I could understand why our ancestors worshiped them. I'm fascinated basically by their existence. Here are special plants in planet ecosystem able to put sentient being on spiritual quest. Maybe even assist with our evolutionary development? Is that their purpose? Who put these plants here for us? Why jurema contains this potent triptamine? Does jurema need it for some other reason?
Mayby my adoration is caused merely by my ignorance. I should probably study the entheogenic plants a bit more to get answers, but do I really want to? Not sure
Some entheogens are here on Earth for loooong time as well. Fungi for example something like 750 million years evolving to perfection in their own way. Humans only 5 million? Fascinating.
I like juremas ritualistic nature too. Puts me in awe everytime. It's like awakening of some ancient gods when smoking DMT. DMT 'hyperspace' emerging is quite unworldly experience for me...entities or not.


Regards.
