My senses tell me there is something more happening than what my mind apprehends at it's 'normal' state of being. I see this everytime in my nocturnal dreams. Few years back i was introduced to few psychedelics - psylocibin and other tryptamines. Since then i was able to see that what i was having doubts about were not just metaphysical assumptions regarding deterministic reality, but another aspects of that cosmic awareness. Then i knew most of human knowlegde is just a linguistic habit, kind of morphogenetic field that helps humanity thrive. and the most shocking of all was that linear causality is one of those perceptual 'habits'. I had a near death experiecne once, and there i could see that all separation of time and space is an aspect of that perceptual 'illusion' of the semantic instinct.

We can flow at whatever 'fields' we desire, but it takes a certain kind of effort to be aware of that! To some point it inludes the appreciation of the fact that there is no substantial difference between matter and psyche, and therefore - all is self-reflexive conscioussness.

Not a consciousness that is aware of itself in our mankind fashion, but one that is intuitive towards itself.

And if realize that, then awareness effort ceazes to be an effort. It's just a cycle of that intuitive being.

Namaste

I see you with respect, honesty, and compassion, and I expect you to do the same.

I really enjoyed reading your post, slugware, as discombobulated as I was left feeling after I finished reading it. I thoroughly appreciate that you are willing to explore other meanings for your autonomic reactions to stimuli, as well as your conscious effort to think outside the box, even when facing the most mundane of interpretations.

Your impressions about metaphysics need to be explained more extensively, for the audience, as well as for your own benefit. You need to describe it with a keen knowledge of the vocabulary you are using. If you can paraphrase a roller coaster ride with words like convivial and boisterous to a layman, you also need to be able to say "it was fun!" to a etymologist so he/she can get a feeling of what you are talking about. The reasons for this should be clear.



For example, the above statement makes no sense. I'm sorry if you think I am calling you out, but it kinda seems to me like you are just rambling. This happens sometimes when the messages we receive from the universe get lost in translation. I know when I was explaining my Dream MT experience to the members of this forum, I am sure they thought my explanation seemed erratic, verbose, and pretentious. lol

When you can summarize to yourself using simple language, the meaning will have more validity, and affect, not effect, your life in ways unimaginable. I am convinced because I do this for my own experiences.

That's just the way the world works, my friend, until you and I are transcended into paradise.

Secondly, and this is more important than you know,

Explain to us who you are, where you are from, what you do for hobbies, your involvement with Entheogens, the scholars you have researched to attain understanding, and what you hope to achieve by visiting this website. It allows the reader a far more entertaining time trying to comprehend what you are talking about, proves your intent to the highest power, and will gain you a far better understanding of what it IS you are trying to relate.

I hope this message finds you well, and in good spirits, and again, please take my impressions with a grain of salt; by understanding even the most opaque of explanations, I am blessed, exponentially. Besides, I can't wait to read your rebuttal!

Awesome post and best regards.

BTW, use spell-checker, there's nothing more vexing than reading a document from someone that is trying to sound intelligent, but doesn't know how to spell.

Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. I for one didn't have a hard time following your train of thought. Some overly big words here and there that possibly using more common known words would help. Thank you none the less and again? Welcome

Thanks for feedback, guys

I am not exploring reactions to stimuli I am exploring world through 'altered' states of consciousness, as blatant this phrase has become. The separation of reactions and stimuli is proportionate to your call that my impressions about metaphysics need to be explained more extensively. I am eager to talk about it but not here, maybe in the Experiences section at some point.

I am 27-years old. I have graduated cultural studies (Antrhopology)( My diploma thesis subject is concerned with spotlighting the evolutional trajectiories of consciousness through Surrealism and Dadaism > to contemporary surreal arts and 3d arts,Long story short, i assume that synesthesia is a common process of the consciousness evolution, and the surreal arts were my anthropological object of study for showing that), have been studying a bit of Oldgreek and Latin philology. I am a musician - i play bass guitar in a funk band (mostly Jamiroquai, Stevie Wonder, some alternative rock covers) and also make my own music which could be found online with the same alias.

The urge for me to be interested in psychelics is my endless quest for exploring psyche. I am a keen reader of psychology - mostly jungian (analytical) and have some eye for the philoshophies of William James, Henry Bergson and Aldous Huxley. But getting too much into analytical studies that 'describe' the nature of consciousness lets me realize that this collective 'scientifical' approach turns into ideology and discourse. This is something i am trying to avoid. Because i know the most essential thing i am looking to explore is pretty inexpressible. Since my first contact with the teachings of Zen, i read a less lot. I mostly make music.

Speaking of inexpressible, I know it's all about metanoia. It's always that Other that i look for feels my presence, but it neither knows we're the same.


And please excuse my bad english, not in a good shape lately.
Thanks for genuine response, i see some very interesting people here and eventually there will be not little to discuss!



I don't think you're calling me out. Yes, subjectivity is pretentious in an aspect. Maybe this is what makes it being subjectivity, for nothing else there is.

Peace to all
