Unfortunately with the way you've decided to start this thread I doubt any real rational discussion can be had concerning any of these questions you ask (which are rhetorical in nature anyways). But since you decided to type all of this, I decided I'd reply.
mrs right wrote:So if you think dmt is real like actually going to some other place by just smoking some chems does that mean smoking salvia d is real and you go to salvia land? Or by taking acid it changes the shit around you, or taking mescaline, 2cx, mushrooms, and all the other psychedelics, by taking them they actually change everything else, and it's not you who is changing? Because thats what I'm hearing about dmt, why wouldn't it be the same for the other psychedelics?
In certain respects, they all sorta do the same thing which is rearrange what you thought was real (not my quote but I forget who said it). Now by stating it that way I've answered your question both ways (specifically the part I highlighted).
A commonly accepted scientific fact is that we create the world we experience in our brains via the brain's interpretation through the five physical senses. That is how reality is constructed for the individual who is experiencing it. Now, if we ingest certain mind altering chemicals (some already naturally produced in the brain) our experience of reality changes. Our brain patterns change, and we experience something else entirely. What has changed? The world around me or me myself? What's the difference? (PS. I invite you to study the philosophical works of Alan Watts if this concept befuddles you)
mrs right wrote:Or if you take dissociatives do you really enter some parallel world and filled with different yous at different ages so you can watch you life flash before you, or have real out of body experiences where you can float around the earth and see what's happening in real time?
Well, the many worlds theory of quantum mechanics speculates there may be an infinate number of parallel universes with different versions of ourselves occupying some of these. If our physical sciences actually allow for this as a possibility I don't think it's too much of a stretch to speculate on the possibility of interdimensional travel, just like how it may have seemed crazy to talk about spaceflight two hundred years ago.
One of the things you will also notice if you spent more than 5 minutes browsing this site (and I make that claim because you clearing didn't read the attitude page prior to your posting) is that none of us here will say with 100% certitude that these experiences are objectively real. Whether scientific rationalist or thorough-going mystic we all accept that we cannot ever prove these experiences as objectively real or not. We all accept this. The main road block we run into when discussing these concepts between the two camps is a matter of interpretation, which is why we all try to keep open minds on this forum.
mrs right wrote:Or if you take delirients and see your son or a family member who is on holiday in another country and you just just spoke to them on the phone in that country, are they really there like they teleported to you or some shit? Or if you see some scary clown face monster is he real?
If you can explain with absolute certitude what is real and what is not real then perhaps we can discuss this further. The fact is, we have no idea what is real and not real and this becomes a moot question.
mrs right wrote:Can you explain this? If they're not real why is dmt? Aren't you just fooling yourself and being bias?
All 3 types are classed as hallucinogens where the people who take it hallucinate. Aren't you delusional if you believe or even consider believing something from a hallucinogen?
And what is a hallucination? All that is is a word defined by man. Billions of people the world over believe in the hallucinations of saints and prophets. Now, whether you believe this to be utter nonsense or not doesn't dilineate from the fact that a majority of people on the planet at least accept on a matter of faith the hallucinations of others. Perhaps the term itself isn't as terrible as the connotation you apply to it.
mrs right wrote:Definition of DELUSION
1: the act of deluding : the state of being deluded
2 a : something that is falsely or delusively believed or propagated b : a persistent false psychotic belief regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self that is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary; also : the abnormal state marked by such beliefs
Synonym Discussion of DELUSION
delusion, illusion, hallucination, mirage mean something that is believed to be true or real but that is actually false or unreal. delusion implies an inability to distinguish between what is real and what only seems to be real, often as the result of a disordered state of mind <delusions of persecution>. illusion implies a false ascribing of reality based on what one sees or imagines <an illusion of safety>. hallucination implies impressions that are the product of disordered senses, as because of mental illness or drugs <suffered from terrifying hallucinations>. mirage in its extended sense applies to an illusory vision, dream, hope, or aim <claimed a balanced budget is a mirage>.
Again, words defined by society. What is real? If I believe something to be true, and I am experiencing it as a truth, is it not true? How could such a situation ever be false in that regard? Just because I've been to Alaska and you haven't doesn't mean that Alaska isn't a place that's real. What you take to be real is something that can be objectively described by others. But do you love your parents? Your dog or significant other? Well what if I thought you were deluding yourself? Prove to me that you love them and I'll accept what you experience as reality.
mrs right wrote:Lets play with this a lil bit. ASSUMING dmt world is real and not inside your head, based on what people have said there would be good dmt races and bad dmt races. The good races are nice and shit and thats fine but the bad races are whats important. Can you really give someone dmt or tell them how to make it knowing theres a 50/50 chance of them meeting the bad dmt races? Don't you think you should be held accountable for whatever the person does afterwards after meeting the bad races? Or is it all their fault? Even though they wouldn't know anything about it if it wasn't for websites like this or people on the internet telling others to try it and where to find the methods of making it or people at parties boosting about it? What if they don't know what they're doing or they completely believe in dmt and feel like they must act out whatever?
There is so much here that seems like just your own personal hang ups that it is very difficult for me to even relate to you. Where do you get the idea that if hyperspace is real that there must be good and bad dmt races? Aren't you projecting your own human fears onto something that you know so little about? You remind me of Stephen Hawking who, quite ignorantly, suggested we not try to contact extraterrestrials if they exist because they might try to colonize our planet. This is very human thinking, we have no way of knowing what another species of beings would be like.
The idea of bad and good entities in hyperspace is a matter of hot debate here in these forums and if I'm being truthful with you we have no idea if they are 'real' or just projections of our psyches. In either case, I've never known a single person who has encountered the 'bad guys' and not lived to tell the tale. Many end up integrating the experience and realize it had to do with things they needed to change in their own lives and are better off as a result.
And again I would suggest you read more on this forum. There are health and safety guidelines all over this community that advise on the types of experiences, both good and bad, that you may encounter. We often say DMT (and by extension other psychoactives) are not for everyone. If you or someone else has a strong fear response associated with these chemicals then just stay away from them. Coming and trying to tell us all the error of our ways will do nothing other than make people belligerent with you.
And I lol'ed at your party reference. If you have ever actually smoked DMT you would know there is no way that it's a party drug. In fact, that's the
FIRST thing you will probably learn...
mrs right wrote:Believing it or not, recommending it puts you in a sticky situation. Maybe you ignore it or just don't see it. I don't know.
You act like this is an outreach center where we seek to convert the unbelieving masses via psychedelics. People come and join this forum because they are already curious about these things. That's how it happened to me. I came to the Nexus because I was so puzzled by my peculiar experiences I had to see if anyone else experienced similar things. Come to find out they do.
mrs right wrote:Say the bad races tells the person to kill themselves and he does. Was the person delusional and it was his fault? Was dmt real and it's dmts fault? Either way it's your fault for helping the person get dmt and now he's dead.
Say the bad races tells the person to kill other people and he does. Was the person delusional and it was his fault? Was dmt real and it's dmts fault? Either way it's your fault for helping the person get dmt and he's a murderer.
Say the bad races tells the person to kill you or your friends and family. Was the person delusional and it was his fault? Was dmt real and it's dmts fault? Either way it's your fault for helping the person get dmt and now you're dead or your friends and family are.
Say the person is a serial killer or a potential one. If it was all in his head the outcome would make sense. If dmt is real then you can't blame the serial killer because it has nothing to with it.
I don't know what has happened to you to cause you to have such a dark view of what DMT
actually does, but this line of thinking is the same type that governments use to place as much control over their populations as possible. Since we as humans are incapable of taking care of ourselves, we
must be told by some other authority how to behave, how fast we can drive, what drugs we can take, things we can think, etc. We need to wage a huge costly war on drugs so a few dumb people don't kill themselves. We need tighter gun control because people are too stupid. We think everyone needs babysitting or if left to their own devices they will self-destruct. I on the other hand do not assume people to be so ignorant and self-destructive. An individual person is responsible for themselves and their actions, including things involving DMT.
I don't claim to be smarter than anyone else, in fact I'll say I'm quite stupid about a good many things. However, I take 100% full responsibility for myself and my actions. Any information I get on an online forum should be cross-checked and tested by me. No one else is responsible for my mistakes.
mrs right wrote:Now you know don't you think you should make the right decisions? Having websites, extraction techniques, and people telling others about dmt is reckless. If the person is sure about it they can go on drug vacations to tribal places and be properly taught about it and then decide. Having kids go on info websites like this and buying the shit to make it online and making it not only encourages them to brake the law and use drugs but you're also risking their health. You know what you're doing, make the right decision, you think you're enlightened or wise well we'll see by what actions you choose to take.
P.S Is this a religion? dmt believers grouped together? You might want to think good and proper about what you're doing
In my humble opinion, having an online resource of information on health and safety and a community full of people who are willing and able to help answer questions (even those of this nature)
IS the right decision. If you outlaw abortion because it's 'not right' or 'unhealthy' that would never stop abortions from actually happening. People would just be less safe about such practices and get themselves into even more trouble, which would cause harsher and harsher laws to be put in place to try and discourage such activities. Basically what I'm saying is these things will never go away, so having actual factual information available for those who seek it out is, imo, a much better alternative then having people fumble around in the dark.
Also, I hardly consider an online forum full of people who enjoy discussing the same thing a 'religion'. Go browse a world of warcraft forum sometime if you think the things here on this forum are too zany and out there.
