A wise man (Arthur C Clarke perhaps?) once said, "flying saucers do not fly - they oscillate between dimensions."

There is also a chance that we are the first sentient life form to venture into outer space.

As a rule, I don't watch TV - but I might take a look at the episode with Hancock & Heaven.

I have some thoughts on this.

Last night I had a dream where a friend from far away was talking to me in a very meaningful way and she used a word I was not familiar with. I recalled the meaning of the dream because I woke up immediately it was so profound. She is an amazing woman, a buddhist nun, a dancer, actor...

She used the word "Magnanimous." Maybe you all know it but I've never heard it used in conversation. When I woke up for the day I later looked it up and the context it was in was perfect.

2 theories:

1: We pay such close attention to the world around us incidentally, without much effort at all, that most perception makes it past our filter of preconceived ideas and identity, and this formulates a kind of "subconscious" that is succinct based on the receptivity of the mind.

2: Consciousness itself is so complete and extensive that we are merely a segment of a greater "superconsciousness" which we are divided from at birth but can access in states of detachment like dreams, meditation, dmt, near-death experiences and such.

For reasons of my own I am with the second interpretation, and it is an analogy that fits the DMT experience perfectly. Stuff like the commonality of trips, fractal geometry, archetypal visions and truth emerging seemingly from mental muck or chaos, epiphanies, and so on. I've thought and felt it so much that consciousness is all I believe in. Not I or you or they or this world or solidity or divisiveness or multiverses any more than rocks sticks and straw.

Looking "forward" to being united with "you all" as one sooner than later

I like your mind, let's do lunch

I also agree with your point about them heavily editing Graham and jumping around a lot, overly sensationalized, etc. Unfortunately, that's what most TV shows do these days it seems. The attention span of the average viewer must be miniscule.


I also like your mind I couldn't agree more. I remember philosophizing about this while still in high school. Obviously in a very limited fashion with many "man"'s and "dude"'s interjected throughout

The more I experiment with these kinds of experiences, the more I come to enjoy the thought that everything is consciousness. That is the driving force behind everything. The universe is consciousness. God is consciousness. It sure does explain a lot. And also complicates things even further, since we basically know nothing at all about consciousness.

I think that deciding that consciousness is god, the universe etc when knowing basically nothing about it is a bit of a stab in the dark akin to a faith based religion. I do not think that this is necessarily a bad thing if it gives the devotee happiness.

With the commonality of trips i think that this is down to the fact that we are human beings and react in a common way to certain stimuli. Epiphanies and truths are open to individual interpretation. One person"s truth is another"s bullshit. If i come back from a trip and decide that i am the reincarnation of christ, is it true or have i become deluded?

As for the existence of extra terrestrial life i really wouldn"t like to say for sure. Sometimes i think i am living in a world created by something not of the reality that i feel that i am currently existing in. It has nothing to do with god, beauty and interconnectedness but more to do with some weird, hyper advanced version of autocad inventor (but that could just be down to the drugs).

This sounds very reminiscent of stories I've heard about glowing orange, non-solid-jelly or jelly fish like U.F.O's. An ex wife of mine said she saw them when living in Oman a few times. She had no knowledge of others reporting such a claim.

Here's a link to a report. And a google search for 'orange jellyfish ufo'.


Please let me know if these seem anything like what you are trying to describe as I find this highly fascinating.

Delusion? Sure. I just enjoy it from time to time I really do try to keep any 'blind faith' in check. I reevaluate my thoughts and beliefs on a regular basis. Incessant journal writing has really helped me with my objectivity. I've had some people even call me vain or self absorbed because I'm constantly writing about my thoughts and feelings That said, I don't think anyone can stay completely objective 100% of the time. I do accept that there is, and maybe always will be, a lot about the universe and our existence in it that we don't understand. I just try to manage those grasping, desperate, 'there has to be some purpose to it all' thoughts. We as humans tend to look for purpose in things. That this happens or this exists for this reason. That's probably the birth of every religion in history.

I just watched the first episode of the new season of 'Through the Wormhole' (Se5 Ep01) entitled "Is God an Alien Concept?" It was very interesting. It explores the behaviors we manifest in regards to religion; the good and the bad. It's not like the Ancient Aliens show; less conjecture and more real rational science.

I think you are probably right. A bit of harmless delusion is no bad thing.



I went through a phase of watching that last year and quite enjoyed it.
