Here is the ebook..
http://psychedelic-infor...om/pdf/PIT-Print-Web.pdf

and his webite..
http://psychedelic-information-theory.com/

So far this is a great book that I think anyone interested in the physical mechanisms of psychedelics and hallucinogens would find facinating.
Long live the unwoke.
 

Good quality Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) for an incredible price!

There's a pretty good thread from when it first came out. I was actually thinking about this the other day, with his commentary on Leary's 8-Circuit Brain theory. I like Kent's suggestion that what Leary thought of as higher circuits are actually the same modules at different levels of resonant activity.

The theory also seems like it could explain a few general aspects of meditation, and the Theravada jhanas as well. One of the really frustrating and confusing things when I first started out with meditation, was how I would be sitting in a really good groove and suddenly things would shift out with thoughts popping up like mad. Once I kept sitting with it though, suddenly I would end up in an even deeper state.

Kent's model suggests that there are different stable levels of activity/resonance in the mind separated by noisy/chaotic spaces. A great way to visualize it, for anyone who hasn't read the book, uses cymatics. So each jhana, or unique stable meditation state, would be represented by one of the stable shapes that form to a sound frequency, and the spaces betweet represented by the random distributions.

Thanks for the posting!

I'm happy this got mentioned. I plan to read that exact book in the near future. The dimensions that can be experienced are of interest from how they form, transcend etc. Excited to begin it. Big grin

Skip the manual, now, where's the master switch?

what?

I started this thread?

Wow...
I'm dumbfounded

I said earlier that I don't find his ideas compelling..

guess once upon a time I did.

I really don't find his ideas all that interesting at this point.
Long live the unwoke.

It looks like someone had tried to merge the threads or at least only a few of the posts in them

Then again I might be wrong. I could've sworn cognitive hearts post was in that other thread originally Razz



<Ringworm>hehehe, it's all fun and games till someone loses an "I"
