Ever since my parents vaguely enjoined me not to use psychedelics (injunctions that gave way to my mom's untried favor towards marijuana), I've had an interest in substances like LSD and DMT, although the former was the one I knew by name and the latter is the one I should've known about all along.
Not that I've ever been fortunate enough to try it. My participation in this website is intended not as a way for me to share stories and analysis of personal trips, but to test my philosophical theory of the "layers of reality" concepts involved in extreme psychedelia. And coming to thoughtful, friendly people who can compare my description of the "Other World" suggested by my theory with DMT hyperspace seems a plausible way to administer such a test.
Since this is my introductory essay post, though, I'm not sure I should just launch into an extensive discussion of deontic logic and the E8 theory in physics and
the Neverending Story (with a nod to another member of this site), all topics that I promise I can seriously piece together into one coherent idea (using Immanuel Kant and others as the glue). Or so I hope/QED...
The only other forum that has given me a strong impression of civility from the get-go is the Kevin's Watch forum for discussion of the author Stephen R. Donaldson and his work. I'm still strongly involved there, and I have faith that I will be involved here for long days and nights to come. So thank you for the existence of this website, or for your contributions hereto (the art section is overwhelmingly amazing).
