Hey, I'm peptideRR. I have always had a strong curiosity for dimethyltryptamine as I have always been interested in how they work and why they do what they do. I am in classes to become a neuropharmacologist and am currently an EMT, and psychedelics are very fascinating to me. The way they develop in many spirituality, and the fact that somewhere in one's brain the visuals and mindsets experienced by DMT are locked away in there. Talking alien creatures that are nothing like you have seen before, how could this be?
I hope to gain some insight by this forum as it seems both full of knowledge and friendly

I am always amazed by psychedelics! There was one trip when I was coming back and was just thinking "Wow, how is it that a chemical is making me feel this way?"

we can think we know by sight and sound, but we don't really know until we experience firsthand. I want to say that rings true for EVERY instance.

Welcome to the nexus. i know exactly what you mean, have we evolved to have something that tells us there is a god(s)? Does our brain for some reason know these other beings? Or maybe we are actually talking to them. Thanks for the welcome

Welcome to the Nexus; I hope to have some interesting discussions with you in the future if you're up for it. I myself graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor's degree in Behavioral Neuroscience in May and am currently working in a cabinet factory where I build roughly $100,000 worth of cabinets each night (you can buy them at Home Depot). When I was working in the finish room the person wiping stain next to me was also a college graduate. Good luck with your neuropharmacology endeavors, the brain can be an extraordinarily useful device whenever it knows what to do. peptiderr wrote: I know exactly what you mean, have we evolved to have something that tells us there is a god(s)? Does our brain for some reason know these other beings? Or maybe we are actually talking to them.
Or maybe those beings are a figment of our imagination and we are really talking to ourselves. But this doesn't mean you can't learn anything by listening to your inner self; even the product of imaginary forces can have a real world influence (remember from math that i^4=1). Every tool is dangerous when misused. That is no reason not to use tools. Isn't it strange that a gift can be an enemy?
