Had an LSD experience recently where I contemplated the difference between the unknown and the known during inner-journeys. Is anything really known to other selves that we explore during tripping or is it all contained within the self experiencing the trip? Is the unknown the region of reality that lies outside the individual self?
Saw a talk called "Shamanism before and after History"
Terence Video Collection with Ralph Metzner and Terence McKenna where Metzner mentioned that each amateur shaman must go through a trial of the unknown, but will, then, after becoming confused for a time, revert to exploring the known.
Anyone else wondered about this dichotomy during their explorations?
In the province of the mind what one believes to be true, either is true or becomes true within certain limits. These limits are to be found experimentally and experientially. When so found these limits turn out to be further beliefs to be transcended. In the province of the mind there are no limits. However, in the province of the body there are definite limits not to be transcended.-J.C. Lilly
