[@christservant2464]

I thought everything he said was absolute horsesh!t if I'm going to be completely honest with everyone, same with Rogan. They're literally talking about nothing and if you think for a second that taking Psychedelics is going to enhance your consciousness or bring you closer to a "divine presence" then you need to do some serious soul-searching. I'm not saying you think this way but Rogan and a lot of his fans do and it baffles me. You don't need any drugs to enhance your consciousness and it sure as sh!t won't bring you closer to God, maybe Satan, but definitely not God. If anything, it separates you from our Lord even further and that's exactly what the Devil wants to do on this planet.

[@Voidova]

@@christservant2464 if you haven't figured it out yet, Joe and probably 99% of his viewers and guests are not religious. When they speak of spiritual experiences they don't mean divine. It is simply the best phrasing to try and explain it.

[@ellisdtrails420]

I once had an experience, can totally be put away for the fact that I did psychedelics, but it felt so real to me...to this day I cannot put into words how this affected me. To be concise, I took some acid and fell very deep into some otherworldly dimension and found my bf, who at the time was struggling with a heroin addiction. He had moved away to deal with it, and I live in Hawaii. He was across the sea in the continental us. I met him in this other world, and told me he needed help...like he straight told me he was dying. I was frying balls and my friends we're trying to calm me down...I snapped out of this and told everyone around me, that he was dying. I told them we needed to go to California and help him. They comforted me and told me everything was okay...I was just tripping. Fair enough. The next day, we found out he od'd and had passed away. I'll never forget my friend tripping out and telling me how crazy that was. I was an atheist then as well. No more. I don't adhere to established religions, but I do believe theres something greater we dont know about. This isn't some comment to change your mind, just something that did happen to me. I also still don't believe in ghosts. But I believe my friend came to me and asked for helped. Makes me wish I could've done more...

[@themestizokid]

Sorry to hear about your bf, may he rest in peace. What a mindblowing thing to experience, it could be anything from your fears of him manifesting themselves to you actually accessing some higher plane of consciousness where you could still communicate w him. Psychedelics are some next level shit, I’ve experienced telepathy on shrooms but thats as wild as my experiences have gotten.

[@dr3d1dmngo8]

May he rest in peace... especially knowing that you knew and were trying to help. He won't forget. The soul doesn't forget

[@BUDDAz1g]

RIP. I too have had weird similar experiences while on shrooms changed my life for ever

[@alteredstateofconsciousnes684]

Thats is absolutely breathtakingly powerful, im so sorry for your loss. I can agree with you spirtual awakening though. I've been out of my mind in a manic episode because of a sociopath that abused me. The man she killed before me possessed me and we wrote an email telling her she is killing men. Ever since then I've been awakened to the spiritual nature of our world. I talk about it on my channel if you're interested. Consciousness is fascinating.

[@AiRJacobs]

Somebody may try to explain it away as your intuition that came to you during a trip, in the form of your bf. No real vision or external communication. It's all just your subconscious thoughts. But then how do you account for the timing? They'd probably say, "well you do drugs a lot, he does drugs a lot. The timing was coincidence". The problem is that these observations aren't necessarily connected themselves and are individual refutes of a various components of a subjective experience. Therefore they don't form a concise, logical flow. If this explanation were the case, you'd have tried to stop him long before in an earlier trip, or had "vision trips" long after he passed, but before finding out his passing. I've personally had "otherworldly" experiences that make you question reality itself, without drugs or illicit substances. I can't say if what you experienced is real, but I understand how these profound experiences affect you more than anything else.

10:55 his trip was his mind trying to tell him he is sick of the monotony of creating theories in his head, destroying them and then reforming new ones and repeating.

[@JustaGuy2.0]

This! I don't know of the monotony, but yeah, since Brian Greene is a theorist, that was the brain way to show his theories and ideas being destroyed while he creates new ones, because that's basically his life; in other words, it was point him in contact with himself. And psychedelics have nothing to do with consciousness, they have to do with dreams, dreaming while awake. And if nightmares are a way to reveal emotional disturbances, now imagine that while being awake, that's what is called a bad trip.

[@emie1170]

i was looking for this comment. I cannot disagree with him in any of what he is saying. He is right: Psychedelic substances are nothing but chemicals that alter our brains. However, i cannot help but think that he is restrained. He is unable to realize that though chemicals may cause it, it is much more profound than that. He even had it in front of him and didn’t realize it. His trip was literally about it.

[@ravenaspelin178]

Exactly what came to mind when he explained this. Perhaps he’ll still realize at some point; I doubt he’ll be forgetting the experience anytime soon. I still get realizations about trips that I had years ago.

[@OmniscientSloth]

Poor guy has an experience in a terrible setting with no understanding of the sacredness, for lack of a better word, involved with those experiences. Now he’s probably turned off them for life. If we as a society can get more of our greatest thinkers to experience more spiritually enlightening hallucinogenic experiences, then we could probably figure out a bunch more about where our understanding of physics is not all the way there.

[@mayonnaise9993]

@@OmniscientSlothExactly. When I think about how in older cultures they ingrained these chemicals into loving and accepting practices and rituals, it makes me believe they were much more advanced as a society than us. I imagine had he taken it in a better set and setting, and knew exactly what he was doing (chemical wise), he couldve gone in with a better mindset and come out with one as well. His story sounded like it was something he did impromptu and in a new setting (At a hotel??). Sad that he had a rough enough experience to not investigate further.

It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright.

Yep that's how the mind works Instead of rambling if they just sat there and meditated they'd get a direct answer Better yet be in a natural environment and meditate Until your consciousness levels rise.

[@iphaze]

Also: what if what *we think* consciousness is, actually is just a really primitive form of experience - something that can also evolve

[@thomasstorey4480]

There are two major flaws in our consciousness. We have an innate duality within our psyche that is built by the conscious and subconscious aspects of our mind. The conscious aspect can be so extremely intelligent despite all things; performing complex equations and observations. However, when forming large-scale understandings of complex concepts our conscious mind is fed information by the subconscious mind. (This is where the first flaw lies). The subconscious mind will go to just about any lengths to align new information with old information. It will twist and ignore information if it doesn't align with the current status quo of belief and understanding (This is how people maintain absurd world-views despite all disproving evidence). Furthermore, the same instinctual mechanisms that allowed us to survive as a more primitive species are still fully functional in the subconscious mind. It drives us to fear things we don't understand, seek a sense of purpose within our community, procreate, and consume - all things that helped our ancestors survive. We live in a modern world built by the intelligent conscious minds of the smarted and most driven members of our species but the instinct-driven, information-twisting subconscious is at odds with this world. None of its mechanisms are serving their initial function in this new world. And because of this, we constantly feel the dissonance between our intelligent conscious minds and our primitive subconscious minds. Suicide rates are higher than ever and the whole world is heating up due to our negligence. The only way out of this situation is for our brains, and our minds, to evolve away from these primitive mechanisms. But evolution is slower than human development and can't catch up. There probably isn't a happy ending in sight for the human species and Earth as we know it today.

[@Kolzahn]

@@thomasstorey4480 I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said, but with development of the conscious mind there is also a decline in the feelings like happines or even sadness we are able to feel because all of them are felt through the subconscious mind. We are literally turning into machines which is terrifying. That's also why there has never been such a large scale of people with mental health problems. (The fight between the subconscious and conscious mind)

[@babygorl9541]

Thomas Storey you’re right in some areas but overall wrong. there IS a way for us to “break free” from what you call the primitive subconscious mind. it’s called waking up, awakening, enlightenment, there are many words for it, and some misconceptions about it. but its REAL. and it’s what happens when a human being discovers a state of awareness that ISN’T ruled by the impulses of their animal brain or their conditioned thought patterns. when someone takes psychedelics (and doesn’t have a “bad trip”) they’re able to experience this open awareness where they feel utterly expansive and no longer bound to whatever their problems, worries, or biases were previously, in addition to whatever more subtle layers of conditioning were controlling their perceptions. hatred and judgment and insensitivity dissolve, and bliss and connection become pervasive in one’s experience. look up “loch kelly” on youtube, he guides people to it through a series of awareness exercises. of course eckhart tolle and many other teachers (many who teach traditional meditation) talk about it too and try to help people access it and live from within that state of being. but its REAL and it turns pretty much all your predictions and analyses on their head. it’s the trump card that changes everything.

It seems Greene’s understanding of consciousness is a bit premature. To think that his “consciousness” was temporarily modified as a result of the drugs and so it must just be a chemical reaction that’s constantly occurring does seem very fitting for the times... however wouldn’t the “awareness” of what is going on within all of these different states truly be consciousness happening through him? It’s hard to get to the source, but the awareness of all of it in every moment is consciousness, and that was consistent rather he be sober or hallucinating, etc.

[@syngos98]

[@andrewwalker6507]

[@PlumbDrumb]

The question is - what is going on? If you don't know the answer to that question, you can't be aware of it. But can you just claim to know what's going on, and have confidence enough to believe that claim is the truth without evidence? Does anyone know? Maybe consciousness doesn't even exist. It seems to be some philosophical term at this point, or an "add your preferred definition here" type of thing.

Psychedelics may alter experience, but it doesn't alter the consciousness. The awareness of which experience is seen from.

Those render our ability of experience to change, but he consciousness behind those experiences remain untouched....maybe

@@yubsodumb If you don't really know anyone that does or sells psychedelics, you should go to any music festivals that you can. And not just any music festival. I doubt there's many people at rap festivals doing psychadelics. There's a band called phish that are always at crazy festivals and 90% of the people who go are looking to get high. They usually have everything from nitrous to ketamine there it truly is wonderful. The funny thing is you never hear about people ever getting hurt or causing trouble cuz of psychadelics there but people talk about them like they're the devil! People also exaggerate big time on what its like to take certain substances. Ive hewrd people say they ate a couple hits of acid and an hour later they said they saw crazy animals and plants coming to life. Tripping is nothing like that. If youre a beginner always remember to be in a good safe environment and have a friend whos sober trip sit you. That's the best way till you know you handle any drugs. Hope that will help you in the future.

Brian overlooked the principle of "emergence" as a fundamental property of the universe, one that operates across multiple domains, including the physical, biological and evolutionary sciences. Reflexive self-awareness is an emergent property of consciousness. How could it be otherwise? Also, for those interested def check out Ken Wilber's updated AQAL model.
