Recently I have acquired some rather potent cannabis, I've noticed that I have been having some very interesting thoughts while meditating that appear to make sense to me at least, but then again, it might just be nothing more than a pipe dream.

I've also been watching more videos from TED again, and the video that's been on my mind most recently is about being in two places at once and another video that I can't find atm where the whoever was speaking talked about how he made a cgi organic chemistry video depicting cell division down to the molecular level (I think I first saw it posted somewhere on the nexus).

Please excuse the overly worded nature of the rest of this topic

It is interesting to note that I after consuming some of this cannabis, that I can go in and out of a lucid dream like state at will, so long as I have isolated myself (darkened room, white noise). The thought that's been on my mind is basically an extension of those videos combined, where it's about how Aaron (in the first one) suggests that people could possibly be able of being at two places at once and how he questioned what it would be like, in relation to CGI depictions of molecular activity.

What if while I'm isolated, my brain releases dmt, creating an unintended synergy of cannabis and dmt? The reason the first video is relevant is because the only explanation that I have been able to think of is that when you go into a lucid/astral state, is that you're literally two places at once, sure most of the time when one has an astral projection, one would usually leave their body, usually flying off into the stars, or visiting relatives, basically anything even occasionally being able to watch themselves sleep (only time I was able to do so I woke up right after). Usually when in this state, you become completely unaware of your sleeping body, but just because you're unaware of your body sleeping, doesn't mean it's not happening.

What if instead of leaving my body during an astral projection/lucid dream, I went inward and observed the inner functions of my body? There have been times where I could swear I was observing my own cell division, all the way down to the scale of watching the DNA being split apart, copied, and pulled apart into opposite ends of the dividing cell (this is where that second video I can't find is relevant). I've also seen other imagery that to me looked like it could've been my alveoli inflating/deflating, capillary systems, the strands of muscle tissues contracting and relaxing, and many others that I could not identify. I have been able to observe the same visuals on and off for quite some time, it's only been recent with the use of cannabis combined with the meditation that they have become more clear and vivid enough to have a bit of an epiphany after I watched the second video (the one I can seem to find...) and realized that that could very well be what I've been seeing this whole time, just from a different perspective and with way more detail.

The odd thing about the whole experience is that while I am having all of these CEV (and depending on how dark the room is, even OEV), I'm still completely aware of my body as a whole laying in bed, almost like half of my senses left to go inward and see and hear all of my inner function, while the other half stayed put to keep an eye on the rest of me. In a way it kind of did feel like I was in two places at once.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

The inner dialogs that I can have with myself while having all of these CEV are usually quite overly worded and I feel like it can take up pages of information to report, making it difficult to explain easily without typing too much.... I feel like I need to stop adding more to this before it gets much longer.

Yea you can be in two places at once, I totally beleive you. You should check out the works of thomas campbell

a chapter or two devoted to just this in "Autobiography of a Yogi".

And, there is an especially fine speciman of T. pachanoi I know of that can put me into that mindset. It is quite the plant...and not just two spaces, but two times.

Sounds intriguing to me, I feel like I may have had similar experiences, but I've never tried T. pachanoi or any other varieties, it's on my list of 'possibly try one day given the opportunity'

i had an experience where i lived multiple lifetimes all within the same experience, and another experience that was even more abstract about where/when i was as the situation was jumping in between different scenarios often returning to previous ones before unveiling new ones

I once had a very weird experience on cannabis: i was sitting somewhere, smoking a joint. Eventually i stood up and walked a bit. And after a while i had this very weird realisation:i´m here but....i´m still sitting there.

Cannabis can do these kind of things to a persons mind. I find that it can have powerfull dissociative effects. It can totally stir your mind. Many people underestimate it´s powers.

especially when it's a very potent strain
