30 Days In Hyperspace - live talk from Fribourg University

I was very excited to recently be invited to the University of Fribourg Psychedelic Association (PROOF), to speak on the topic of my adventures as a psychonaut, specifically focusing on the time I took DMT for 30 consecutive days.
Here is the recording of my main presentation, I will upload the Q&A as a separate video

Monad (from Greek μονάς monas, "singularity" in turn from μόνος monos, "alone") refers, in cosmogony, to the Supreme Being, divinity or the totality of all things. The concept was reportedly conceived by the Pythagoreans and may refer variously to a single source acting alone, or to an indivisible origin, or to both. The concept was later adopted by other philosophers, such as Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, who referred to the Monad as an *elementary particle.* It had a *geometric counterpart,* which was debated and discussed contemporaneously by the same groups of people. [In this speculative scenario, let's consider Leibniz's *Monad,* from the philosophical work "The Monadology", as an abstract representation of *the zero-dimensional space that binds quarks together* using the strong nuclear force]: 1) Indivisibility and Unity: Monads, as indivisible entities, mirror the nature of quarks, which are deemed elementary and indivisible particles in our theoretical context. Just as monads possess unity and indivisibility, quarks are unified in their interactions through the strong force. 2) Interconnectedness: Leibniz's monads are interconnected, each reflecting the entire universe from its own perspective. In a parallel manner, the interconnectedness of quarks through the strong force could be metaphorically represented by the interplay of monads, forming a web that holds particles together. 3) Inherent Properties: Just as monads possess inherent perceptions and appetitions, quarks could be thought of as having intrinsic properties like color charge, reflecting the inherent qualities of monads and influencing their interactions. 4) Harmony: The concept of monads contributing to universal harmony resonates with the idea that the strong nuclear force maintains harmony within atomic nuclei by counteracting the electromagnetic repulsion between protons, allowing for the stability of matter. 5) Pre-established Harmony: Monads' pre-established harmony aligns with the idea that the strong force was pre-designed to ensure stable interactions among quarks, orchestrating their behavior in a way that parallels the harmony envisaged by Leibniz. 6) Non-Mechanical Interaction: Monads interact non-mechanically, mirroring the non-mechanical interactions of quarks through gluon exchange. This connection might be seen as a metaphorical reflection of the intricacies of quark-gluon dynamics. 7) Holism: The holistic perspective of monads could symbolize how quarks, like the monads' interconnections, contribute holistically to the structure and behavior of particles through the strong force interactions.

[@NotNecessarily-ip4vc]

Metaphysics Context The monad, the word and the idea, belongs to the Western philosophical tradition and has been used by various authors. Leibniz, who was exceptionally well-read, could not have ignored this, but he did not use it himself until mid-1696 when he was sending for print his New System. Apparently he found with it a convenient way to expound his own philosophy as it was elaborated in this period. What he proposed can be seen as a modification of occasionalism developed by latter-day Cartesians. Leibniz surmised that there are indefinitely many substances individually 'programmed' to act in a predetermined way, each substance being coordinated with all the others. This is the pre-established harmony which solved the mind-body problem, but at the cost of declaring any interaction between substances a mere appearance. Summary The rhetorical strategy adopted by Leibniz in The Monadology is fairly obvious as the text begins with a description of monads (proceeding from simple to complicated instances), then it turns to their principle or creator and finishes by using both to explain the world. (I) As far as Leibniz allows just one type of element in the building of the universe his system is monistic. The unique element has been 'given the general name monad or entelechy' and described as 'a simple substance' (§§1, 19). When Leibniz says that monads are 'simple,' he means that "which is one, has no parts and is therefore indivisible". Relying on the Greek etymology of the word entelechie (§18), Leibniz posits quantitative differences in perfection between monads which leads to a hierarchical ordering. The basic order is three-tiered: (1) entelechies or created monads (§48), (2) souls or entelechies with perception and memory (§19), and (3) spirits or rational souls (§82). Whatever is said about the lower ones (entelechies) is valid for the higher (souls and spirits) but not vice versa. As none of them is without a body (§72), there is a corresponding hierarchy of (1) living beings and animals (2), the latter being either non-reasonable or reasonable. The degree of perfection in each case corresponds to cognitive abilities and only spirits or reasonable animals are able to grasp the ideas of both the world and its creator. Some monads have power over others because they can perceive with greater clarity, but primarily, one monad is said to dominate another if it contains the reasons for the actions of other(s). Leibniz believed that any body, such as the body of an animal or man, has one dominant monad which controls the others within it. This dominant monad is often referred to as the soul. (II) God is also said to be a simple substance (§47) but it is the only one necessary (§§38-9) and without a body attached (§72). Monads perceive others "with varying degrees of clarity, except for God, who perceives all monads with utter clarity". God could take any and all perspectives, knowing of both potentiality and actuality. As well as that God in all his power would know the universe from each of the infinite perspectives at the same time, and so his perspectives-his thoughts-"simply are monads". Creation is a permanent state, thus "[monads] are generated, so to speak, by continual fulgurations of the Divinity" (§47). Any perfection comes from being created while imperfection is a limitation of nature (§42). The monads are unaffected by each other, but each have a unique way of expressing themselves in the universe, in accordance with God's infinite will. (III) Composite substances or matter are "actually sub-divided without end" and have the properties of their infinitesimal parts (§65). A notorious passage (§67) explains that "each portion of matter can be conceived as like a garden full of plants, or like a pond full of fish. But each branch of a plant, each organ of an animal, each drop of its bodily fluids is also a similar garden or a similar pond". [1D string theory haha] There are no interactions between different monads nor between entelechies and their bodies but everything is regulated by the pre-established harmony (§§78-9). Much like how one clock may be in synchronicity with another, but the first clock is not caused by the second (or vice versa), rather they are only keeping the same time because the last person to wind them set them to the same time. So it is with monads; they may seem to cause each other, but rather they are, in a sense, "wound" by God's pre-established harmony, and thus appear to be in synchronicity. Leibniz concludes that "if we could understand the order of the universe well enough, we would find that it surpasses all the wishes of the wisest people, and that it is impossible to make it better than it is-not merely in respect of the whole in general, but also in respect of ourselves in particular" (§90). In his day, atoms were proposed to be the smallest division of matter. Within Leibniz's theory, however, substances are not technically real, so monads are not the smallest part of matter, rather they are the only things which are, in fact, real. To Leibniz, space and time were an illusion, and likewise substance itself. The only things that could be called real were utterly simple beings of psychic activity "endowed with perception and appetite." The other objects, which we call matter, are merely phenomena of these simple perceivers. "Leibniz says, 'I don't really eliminate body, but reduce [revoco] it to what it is. For I show that corporeal mass [massa], which is thought to have something over and above simple substances, is not a substance, but a phenomenon resulting from simple substances, which alone have unity and absolute reality.' (G II 275/AG 181)" Leibniz's philosophy is sometimes called "'panpsychic idealism' because these substances are psychic rather than material". That is to say, they are mind-like substances, not possessing spatial reality. "In other words, in the Leibnizian monadology, simple substances are mind-like entities that do not, strictly speaking, exist in space but that represent the universe from a unique perspective." It is the harmony between the perceptions of the monads which creates what we call substances, but that does not mean the substances are real in and of themselves. (IV) Leibniz uses his theory of Monads to support his argument that we live in the best of all possible worlds. He uses his basis of perception but not interaction among monads to explain that all monads must draw their essence from one ultimate monad. He then claims that this ultimate monad would be God because a monad is a “simple substance” and God is simplest of all substances, He cannot be broken down any further. This means that all monads perceive “with varying degrees of perception, except for God, who perceives all monads with utter clarity”. This superior perception of God then would apply in much the same way that he says a dominant monad controls our soul, all other monads associated with it would, essentially, shade themselves towards Him. With all monads being created by the ultimate monad and shading themselves in the image of this ultimate monad, Leibniz argues that it would be impossible to conceive of a more perfect world because all things in the world are created by and imitating the best possible monad.

Dimitri is LITERAL magic. It doesn't just open the doors of perception, it shows true reality, especially when you breakthrough and remember choosing to have this life "experience" and can recall other lives. Calling it a psychedelic or hallucinogen does it no justice. Like McKenna says, it's wild that it even exists.

That was a great talk! Usually I would get annoyed at an approach like yours here in the end, where you don't really share the outcome and all those fascinating questions.

And i think what the prof at the start stated that its needed and valuable to have to listen to more non academical speachers is important . You gave quite a good example of that with your speech.

[@alexandrazachary.musician]

Great talk Rob! In a proper-like university too 😛My first time at my Maestro's campo involved 46 nights of ceremonies in a row. After two weeks I was so saturated in the Medicine that I really thought I'd never be out of that state. It was fkn intense but sooooooo much knowledge and soooooo much gratitude! During that time I did 6 short plant dietas. My longer dietas down the track only involved occasional ceremonies interspersed. I don't really know why my teacher did that with me. Perhaps he was trying to "fast track' my learning coz I was so old when I started. So glad you're doing what you're doing. 💖

[@AdeptusPsychonautica]

Thanks Alexandra - hope all is good with you! Yeah 46 nights of ceremonies is a whole different ball game, I'm physically exhausted after a week of ayahuasca, and after that I'm like "thank god I'm going home tomorrow!" I know, check me out being all grown up in a university 😋

Consciousness division is an interesting concept you described. I'm in neuropsychology, so it makes sense from the lense that the brain has various modules and networks associated with varying functions (in simple terms, neocortex is divided into different parts, like the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, and each of those into even smaller modules). From one perspective, subjectively we feel as if there is unification of all of these functional modules creating this "one" experience, when in reality there are different parts of the brain (or different "neural selves"). According to your concept and it's strange to say this, but the unification is not gone in the experience, but the division is more apparent. The way I think of it is there's a neural self for vision, for motorics, for sensory information, for executive functioning (time planning for instance), for facial expression recognition, language perception, etc etc (You can go quite far by dividing the brain into smaller and smaller chunks or observable voxels). Given this information, it seems that by taking DMT you've experience the lack of the unification, at least to the degree, that it would create these multiple experiences simultaneously. However, at the same time keeping some unification, which would cause the synaesthesia-like experiences. Complex, I understand. This, also, gave me some insight on how difficult consciousness is to analyze via the scientific method. This is why - the human brain can create an enormous repertoire of subjective experiences, it is a highly adaptive organ to digest stimuli from the environment (inside the organisms system and outside, the constant feedback loops between the two systems, which, also, proves that dualism or mind/body division never made sense, only for linguistic purposes to know exactly what you're talking about). Thank you for sharing your experiences, this gave me some hope and thoughts on how complex these issues actually are and how one individual brain does not have the capacity to attain it.

[@AdeptusPsychonautica]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, interesting stuff! If the slice of conscious experience is indeed mapped onto brain groupings then I wonder if there is hard limit on how many of these sub divisions could occur, or if certain brain voxels have some overlap which might also account for the synesthesia if two modules share some functionality. All I can say is that you chose a fascinating vocation!

[@virtual-v808]

@@AdeptusPsychonautica When I said voxels - those are tiny manually selected regions in the brain when you do fMRI or MRI scans. In regards to synesthesia, the simplest hypothesis surrounding it is that during brain development, something happened and made different regions interconnect. Again, simplistically - auditory cortex with some visual cortex parts. If there's damage to the functional and structural organization, different story, but the brain is extremely plastic even in late adult years. Hard limit is an entirely different thing. What blew my mind of how adaptive the brain can be is the case study of "Krista and Tatian Hogan" (There are a few good documentaries), they're craniopagus twins and their brains are interconnected. Why so interesting? Their brains created a novel structure unobserved by science - a thalamic bridge. Ill try to summarize it quickly, thalamus is basically a checkpoint for sensory information. Like a relay point for further organization. Their thalami connected, so... from the documentary, one loves ketchup, the other doesnt. If even one tastes it, the other does too. Scientists made interesting experiments, blindfolded one girl, showed an object to the other. Asked the blindfolded girl what was it and she could accurately say what object was shown. Stemming from case studies like these - we don't know the limits of the brain! Even a few days ago there was a paper that showed over 3000 new subtypes of neurons. There's a lot to learn and the complexity of the "brain phenomenon" is phenomenally huge!

I think one of the things you uncovered which is very, very non-trivial, was on your slow approach to breakthrough. It sounds to me like the kind of thing that would happen if you started dreaming without going to sleep, just that since people typically don't dream while their awake they never see self fisioning into both other agents and arena. It both edifies Sam Harris's take on what DMT is doing and clarifies a big question in philosophy about the divisibility of consciousness. That alone I think helps weed out a LOT of BS about where the content is coming from.

Back when i had good lungs an throat i had a life changing experience on salvia. smoked about 0.3g of 50x through a bong was toking for like 20-30 seconds, in the process of exhaling i was gone. Everything went black all sense kind of felt none existent like i was present in nothingness. Then i had a out of body experience where my view panned over to the other side of the room and i watched myself fall to the floor in slow motion. I was locked to the floor but my vision came back to myself and everything looked like it was made from randomly coloured lego blocks. Then the final phase i gained control on my body back but was overwhelmed by sound since there was a bunch of people there chatting away and i couldn't filter any of it out, but when i went to another room where there was only 2 people talking i was hearing what they said bout 5 seconds before it came out there mouths, probably why i was overwhelmed by sound. whole experience lasted about 45 mins.

[@thyzor]

i had a period of 2 and a half weeks where i smoked dmt about 3-5 times each day, the most profound experience was when i made love to one of the "entities" and we were entangled in a tornado of energy, afterwards the entity told me i was reborn as a new mind after the act was done, visualizing myself coming out of the energy tornade with a fresh clean mind.

[@AdeptusPsychonautica]

Firstly I'm sorry to hear that you have started having seizures, as a fellow sufferer you have my compassion. I first started having seizures around age 18 which was many years before I first tried DMT, and for me psychedelics have never antagonized my epilepsy, unlike stimulants like amphetamines which are almost a guaranteed seizure. Of course epilepsy is a very broad spectrum of triggers, so what applies to me might be completely different to you, but for me the 30 days did not have any impact on my epilepsy.

[@tiredextremely]

Thats a very good question. I have a history of seizures and I think I'd be afraid going into this sort of experience, and that anxiety might affect the outcome.

[@brazenmaster]

What value can be shared that comes from these experiences? Anything useful, other than for your personal therapy?

[@AdeptusPsychonautica]

It would depend on what you personally perceive as "value" and "useful". Some people might see value in discovering something new about how their consciousness works, others in feeling a connection to a greater experience, others might just find it to be fun holiday. I think all have value, and the usefulness comes in talking about all these aspects.

[@MrJasonwoodrow]

Do you think that the multiple consciousnesses are there all the time and that DMT brings that out? Does it help you be more creative in normal life? I've been pondering how when I dream, I can suddenly be in a completely formed life that isn't my current one, or see incredible levels of creativity in the details of dreams that I longingly wish were being expressed in my day to day life.

[@eggheadusa9900]

Dmt will bring you to that place but the breakthrough is behind dream and is so alien and complex that it makes you question a lot of things

[@AdeptusPsychonautica]

I've talked about it a little bit in previous videos but I might make one specifically on this topic, so thanks for the inspiration! I think dreams are a good analogy here in that during dream we have convincing dialogue with other beings, and its only upon waking that we dismiss them as "merely dreams". This demonstrates to me that the mechanics to create separate instances of conversational consciousness is a feature of our brains, and that something like DMT is just activating that feature.

"Life changing" yep that accurately describes my expierences nn-dmt. I have done every day for a month also but maybe I skipped a few days 😅 wow

[@eggheadusa9900]

Yeah definitely should be legal, I do mushrooms a lot to but I’ve noticed there’s no loss of serotonin the next day or any negative side effect to regular usage. The only negative side effect is subjective, that being it makes me remember my dreams (which I’m tired of doing for multiple reasons)

[@WILLed_into_Existence]

I wouldn't do it everyday if I were you. I was and it can be a lot on the mind I think. And I think the dmt entities don't like us abusing it. Just my opinion though.

[@RasberrySkittle]

Speaking of processing a lot of thoughts simultaneously, I am trying to learn programming. Do you think DMT could help me with that domain? or even with understanding other more objective reality-based sciences like thermodynamics? I am in a point in my life where I feel like I need to understand as much new technical and logical information as I possibly can as fast as possible. Would I be deluded in trying DMT as a means to this end?

[@AdeptusPsychonautica]

I can only speak from my own experience of working in IT application development, and my experience is that psychedelics do not help with coding. I think they can help with surfacing novel approaches to tackling certain problems, but as with any spontaneous thought then you don’t really get a say as to what ideas arise. So you might want to solve a programming problem but instead your head becomes filled with ideas about livestreaming a DMT trip for 30 days 🙂

[@RasberrySkittle]

Thank you for an honest answer, and that you took the time for it. I will go the straight route then, just learning soberly. With reality anchored tasks, the sober mindset seems the most focused and less prone to misunderstandings regarding objective matters. The apprehension of DMT amping up processing power to the brains maximum potential seems promising in making cognitive progress in whatever area, but as there is no external stimuli to learn from, it would seem most useful in recollecting what you already know so far and seeing how you can use this for creative means. However, that falls flat if one becomes so bewildered by this bizarre experience that no linear thinking about specific objectives can be made and the end all-be all of the experience is simply that it was astounding.@@AdeptusPsychonautica

When I took dmt, the worst thing was my real life felt like a dream, and it was fading away like a dream does when you wake up, my family fading away.... really hard to deal with. Once you're past that flip, it's cool tho. Did you ever experience this?

[@eggheadusa9900]

Gives you the feeling that what was once mundane actually turned out to be something very special we just get to used to it. Coming back after a breakthrough is such a feeling

[@saiyaniam]

on some experiences I got guided into Hindu/yoga poses too.. Mostly my main experience is being surrounded by colorful kaleidoscopic alive geometric shapes. And one holding me like a baby, a more rounded geometric entity, I said out load, "I always thought I was alone" as clearly I wasn't. I've had many other experiences, but perhaps I should not share them on KZbin.

[@AdeptusPsychonautica]

Yes. I was able to open my eyes and see my friends there but that brief moment of everything fading was a special kind of terror I didn't know I could feel. I still went back to DMT after that, but with more respect, reverence and humility.

Question for individuals, how does one get over anxiety after using Psilocybin. Having an inner dialog breakthrough of understanding yourself and others people. It was a bad trip, but was good because now I am happy and fixed my life a lot, but I have a feeling of anxiety. I compare the trip to be a push of DMT, so outer perspective, then straight into an inner perspective. I was ignorant to what happen to me, but accept and understand it all now, but have anxiety. Im sure many have anxiety after so I'd like advice on getting over anxiety. It's not bad, but sometimes go into deep thoughts of the universe and get anxious lol. Thanks to anyone who reads and responds.

[@cocoakusubuu7100]

I'm also incredibly anxious a lot of the time and was failed by our miserable healthcare system. I've never gotten over pre-dose anxiety but I've heard that gets easier with experience. To deal with mine I got into drawing meditation and smelling chamomile oil. If you're having a rough trip, sniff chamomile, it flattens the spikes and dulls the anxiety.

[@thymeparzival]

Perhaps the anxiety you are feeling is not “yours” in the traditional sense, but rather you are becoming more aware of the anxiety that exists within the collective consciousness of humanity. When we learn how to love and support the one inside who is feeling this anxiety, then we will know how to help those outside of us who feel the same.

[@sinanrobillard2819]

If I can suggest some practical approach, focusing on your breathing, listening to music you like, going for a walk in nature or doing physical exercice will usually dissolve the anxiety. As mentioned before it might be a feeling from the collective subconscious. Try not to identify yourself to it, but simply observe the feeling without judging it or pushing it away..

[@AdeptusPsychonautica]

A lot of people in the modern psychedelic community don't have "elders" to study from.

[@BryanKirch]

@@AdeptusPsychonautica I know I’ve seen it first hand. All that’s wrong with all of us is that we got scared and we failed to keep developing. We are all just psychological children frozen at different developmental stages while our bodies kept growing. There used to be rituals and rites of passage to help of transition through each stage of development. It was a technology for producing Adults and Elders which was necessary for a functioning society. All of civilization has collapsed under the weight of responsibility not taken up by each subsequent generation. As we believe we’re advancing we are in fact descending and decaying but people can’t see it because immaturity has been not only normalized but celebrated. I say this as someone who recognized this in myself and I abandoned the false ladder for the true one which is responsibility and suffering which brings about humility and wisdom such that one day hopefully I can help those in my life by become a True Adult and possibly Elder because that’s all I can do for the world. You have an enormous responsibility and there are Elders who have written down the Wisdom they’ve received. Be cautious and humble because what you’re doing is dangerous for you and others it is an enormous responsibility to lead people ( even if that’s not what you think you’re doing) Aubrey Marcus is the perfect archetype of the false leader in a space like this and he has taken many people and relationships off a cliff while he proclaimed things he’s still to immature to understand and integrate I can tell you have good intentions but I’m just expressing caution as you attempt to reintegrate psychedelics in the West without fully being initiated into the mysteries and religious history that put them aside for a couple thousand years Please excuse any types Im on my phone

[@skepticaltaco]

Forgive my ignorance - but are you familiar with confirmation bias and how that can play out ‘subconsciously’? If you’re familiar to Robert Sapolsky’s research - I tend to also shift towards a more mechanistic approach to these sorts of topics. So here I’ll extrapolate his research on ‘will’ and try to apply it to this same topic. If we could take a person who had been removed from pop culture (thus removed from influences that could shape their psychedelic experience) - I wonder how they would react to these same dosages. I think that the dmt experience - much like dreams are entirely dependent on our subconscious, and neural pathways (that have been molded by our own genetics/environment). So if you’re going into an experience expecting/desiring a breakthrough - you might be getting something but I’m not sure how we would objectify a “breakthrough” and if it was something separated from our unconscious desires for the REAL world (as Nietzsche refers to it as). Let me know what you think

[@AdeptusPsychonautica]

Yes I am familiar with Sapolsky and have watched quite a lot of his lectures on KZbin, I enjoy his content very much. In regard to what define a breakthrough, its something that is directly correlated with dosage, so in that way I don't believe expectation plays a part in whether or not you have that breakthrough experience, in the same way that expectation does not play a part in whether you rendered unconscious by anaesthesia - a high enough dosage will reliably induce the effect regardless of expectation. I discuss this in more detail in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIbQfYRoiLBrkLs Now once within that experience then I absolutely agree that subconscious and cultural artefacts will shape the content of how the trip plays out.

[@skepticaltaco]

@@AdeptusPsychonautica okay great - I will watch! Im just trying to gauge where the psychonaut community stands. Do most believe that this breakthrough reality is literal different reality? Or is it more agreed upon that it’s a substrate of our own minds (or is it both lol).

While you might find it interesting to poison yourself and suffer delusions, you calling that traveling only shows how delusional you are, maybe that is an effect of the many bad choices you have made.
