[@Burd396]

People drive themselves crazy not WITH psychedelics, but DUE to the unexplainable nature of them as there’s an innate and inevitable pursuit of finding harmony with what one experiences in a DMT trip and the limits of linguistics to coherently describe the experience. The deeper one goes, the more difficult it becomes to describe.

[@davidrockefeller2007]

We are in an experience that has rules and borders. DMT, psilocybin etc hint at what exists beyond these so we can only ever have more questions than answers until we experience bodily death and return to non material form.

i have Bpd so i only finished with an MSc in biochemistry due to my mental health but i went to school just to learn drug synthesis so I could experiment with my own brain chemistry. I have high functioning autism and my special interest was O chem. I made 5meo dmt via hydrazine route from a paper from years back , probably a decade or longer ago and had a serious breakthrough with my own acceptance and understanding of myself after tripping balls on it lol. it was like my 10th time trying it, where i had the real breakthrough, the universe showed itself to me and showed me why it gave me this extra brain function and where i fit in, and how others truly viewed me, was in fact outside of my own perception of how they view me. (the most vindicating thing ive ever felt) the phenethylamines and tryptamine chemistry has opened my mind to things i could never have imagined back in school. When i find something new to contribute ill go back for the doctorate lol.

Borderline personality disorder? I always wondered if psychedelics could help with PDs. Like with processing the childhood trauma that developed it and such, and re wiring those pathways in the brain

[@j.b.phillips8868]

Dmt and ketamine both help with processing all types of traumas including repressed. Some people talk about past life traumas that have carried over being brought to light during the experiences. (If you can accept that) always remember to start off with the smallest effective dose when trying something new as to not do more harm to your psyche. It takes preparation as well I wouldn’t recommend doing anything like this on a whim or without knowledge of what you may encounter.

If human perception is limited by the natural constraints that exist within the human sense making apparatus, leading to interpretations that are cultural and archetypical, how can we then use the features of a DMT experience as evidence of external reality - is seems like some kind of circular reasoning where you can’t have it both ways.

Andrew and team's DMTx research and experimentation is the most interesting and exciting project I've heard about since Strassman's original stuff at Albuquerque, truly some pioneering stuff. It's true what they say that it's impossible to really imagine what that might be like to spend HOURS in that state, that's gonna be absolutely nuts if it does stabilize at some point. I'm just thinking what if after you pass the point that it typically wears off it suddenly stabilizes and the entities are suddenly understandable. Their goal of using it as a tool to learn things that can be brought back to solve problems in our world is a great idea, as well!

They come back with nothing but a few frames of memory and talk like they have any answers. They dont call out their daddies in government censoring this medicine and lick ass for a living.

[@BarackObamaJedi]

thanks for what you do, Hamilton. I really enjoyed the introductory rant. The thing about hallucinations is that they're metaphors for our lived understanding of reality, and may reveal something about reality, but they're not reality itself. I have some schizoaffective disorder and i mainly have cognitive hallucinations (i never have had visual hallucinations, even with psychedelics. i'm myopic in this world, and blind in that other world, apparently). So the important thing is to integrate what you hallucinate (an immediate, impersonal insight) into your personal life. To remember that you do still exist as a person, even if society is an illusion. That you're a human, even if "human" is not an essence but a set of occurrences of an evolved complex system, completely embedded with its environment. That you're Jesus, but only in the sense that he was a human equally to you, and you shouldn't envy or begrudge him for being a prophet: he's not a higher-status outgroup whom you can't relate to, or join; you have the potential to do the same thing as he, and gain some kind of familiarity with the divine. you just need to do it sincerely, not for your own gain

[@hawaiisidecar]

Jesus never existed.

[@chaoticatmos1461]

How different is schizoaffective to full blown schizophrenia? I have a friend who's really lost himself. You sound so much more grounded than him. I'd like to talk to you if that's okay.

[@BarackObamaJedi]

@@chaoticatmos1461 it still has psychotic symptoms (keywords solipsism and alienation) but it's in a way less intense because it's more focused on the emotional meaning of events and mood than in the semantic meaning of messages. But it's not exactly "less schizophrenic", like it's not a 1 dimensional quantifiable axis, just like ASD. There are still logic-defying weird beliefs and lenses you look at the world through, and impulses which drive your behaviour, thoughts and emotions in a way that can simply be not true or useful, or simply that are just in your head. which is why it then turns pathological as it provokes distress and less than optimal function overall, its harder to fulfill duties and schedules than somebody else would, and in the end social prejudice and a real difficulty in communicating and fitting in interactions in a way that works. I think for 6 months to a year, 2 or 3 years ago, i might have been more schizophrenic simply because i was more emotionally stable and fulfilled, i had a more solid friend group and social security net, i was younger and with fewer mistakes attributable to myself only. As of recent, it's been heavily emotional, so closer so schizoaffective, and it coincides with me having to admit my life plans at university wouldn't work out (after persevering for 3 years with little results, due to this condition but also generally bouts of depression and anxiety, stress from moving out and badly fitting in with my flatmates, then grief and heartbreak for specific events. This tied to my field of study, philosophy and psychology, which instead of solving existential crises, dysfunctions and personality disorders, only gave me a clearer picture of what is wrong with me lmao, which was increasingly harder to cope with. These weren't necessarily all at the same time, nor do they each deserve a diagnosis on their own. My point is that there are components of each distinctly saturated disorder in almost every other one, because psychopathologies are a very narrow subset of human behaviour which is still very much aligned to human behaviour generally. We all have more in common than . Schizophrenia is the folly to disregard narrow filters. And so these different categories of symptoms are not reducible by statistics to a pure, origin centered cloud of points in 3 dimensions. We're far from the origin, 13.8 billion light years away. Anyway, those syndromes all interact and it's hard to pinpoint what causes what. If something is given by the pathology or by the personality. Mood may point to depression, but also social chronic failure, which is not depression and may depend on anxiety or on a root personality disorder (loosely; you could call it a flaw). Etc. People are complicated and the disorder they have is not an external virus getting in and festering, it's a 1 to 1 mapping of their situation in the world, through the filter of their values and beliefs, in a feedback loop with everybody else, aka it's the phenotype of mind and cosmos interacting through their body. That's how I see it anyway. We have no idea what schizophrenia truly is because we don't know what the universe is. We have a neuroscience of reductionism which guarantees nothing against a mind philosophy of emergence, and who is even thinking of what role quantum mechanics allows as possible explanation for schizophrenia, except non-psychiatrists like Dr Gallimore and Thomas Campbell?

[@johnvalencia9927]

Yes I feel exactly the same way. Pretty much everything mentioned here I've already read before, years ago. We're at a point in history where taking the stuff tells us more about what it's doing than what science can. This is why I love McKenna so much; he'll throw out ideas based on his direct experience. Right or wrong, I appreciate his willingness to put his credibility on the line by revealing what his experiences have shown him. I've used mushrooms and DMT with the express interest in solving the problem of what might be happening under the influence of these things, and without boring people with my personal findings, I will say one of the messages I've gotten is that I must use them as tools if I want to find clues about what they're doing, life/death, reality, time, and other existential matters. This is the point of their existence. I can't help but feel like researching these substances instead of doing them is like researching about the mechanics of sex instead of just having it. They are two totally different things. You can research until you're blue in the face and have every scientifically technical answer in the world, but you'll never get close to the actual experience or what the experience is really trying to show you.

The interesting aspect of this is the outcome of the study and what is has to share. Curious how much of it will be shaped on these ideas of discovering universals more a matter of looking at ways to extend in a stable way a DMT experience with further work ahead. How much packed into this research.

[@sebcamm4604]

After my Ayahuasca experiences I have come to believe that what I witnessed was the mathematical source code of nature, beneath the user interface of physical reality. We all know that mathematics is the language of nature and the universe, I think the geometry we see when on psychedelics are expressions of this. Weather its outside of the mind, or inside of the mind also to me is a redundant question - everything is experienced through the 'mind'. And no experience you ever have will be the full truth, that's too big and in a state of change anyway. Any of it is only ever a glimpse. Its just a theory - but it makes sense to me and actually sits somewhere between 'spiritual' ideas and scientific understanding to this point.

[@tommyhopkins6431]

the reframing of different phenomenological experiences as adaptive representations of reality vs maladaptive representations seems like such a nice tool going forward in science/philosophy. for ex, Donald Hoffman, Andres Emilsson work could be interpreted to have some similar themes. hopefully these sort of "meta-phenomenological" programs provide some juice

I will never forget my DMT trip. I met a field of deities looking like the multi limbed Hindu goddess types. Down to my right, as it was a Mandelbrot set of them, one looked at me through her third eye. The wave of red made me just fall in love, but I still asked for my big brother who I lost. Another wave of red, for the rest of the trip, I repeatedly exalted the beauty of her....I think it was me. ❤️I for one, would only love to go back.....but you said no volunteers! Lol

I support you getting money, but I would not promote cannaclear. Their product is not as quality as they claim. I'm speaking specifically about the d8 sauce with terps. Perhaps it's just the terps they add but every jar (all the flavors) when taken like a dab leaves behind a film. On your teeth and even on a surface the smoke touches. I've done a lot of it and I'm fine but I really question the long terms effects of regularly using the product.

Regarding personal vs universal, it is by dividing out the personal factors if only statistically, that we can describe the phenomenal space as a mode of consciousness. By doing so, we can progress towards the discovery of the invariants of consciousness, a necessary step in solving the hard problem.

If you've been there enough times you might have noticed that time does not exist in hyperspace. I've never felt limited by that particular dynamic of the experience, especially seen as it seems capable of downloading huge quantities of information instantaneously what i'd be most concerned about is how he possibly hopes to assimilate it all? That takes "time", more time than you have.

Hamilton introduced me to psychedelics, and since then I’ve gone down a KZbin rabbit hole hearing the likes of Tim Leary, McKenna, Ram Dass, and Duncan Trussell discuss the topic in depth. I’m happy I’ve made it back around to the man who introduced me to it all. Keep up the amazing work!

As someone who has seen the shapes and stuff, I personally think it brings you to the primitive state of your brain that can’t distinguish complex shapes. Like instead of seeing a leaf you see a rectangle with triangle on the edges, and so on. Primitive brain could only see shapes, which is why unnatural right angles changed the way our brains worked and pushed us into a new eras. I think DMT brain is primitive brain, and the entities are extremely complex brain thoughts of primitive manifestations of our first egos

Perhaps he is correct and perhaps not but what is interesting about his research is that the Tarahumara, Huichol and Masopotec Mexican cultures all have "medicine men." Some people claim that they have been engaging in similar practices to the "perpetual DMT" state perhaps for millennia. Some of these medicine men are purported to be able to enter that "perpetual DMT state" at will and without drugs. This after years of training to learn (many with the initial help of psychedelics) that our knowledge of the universe is limited and programmed into us at birth. As you said in the beginning what makes "red" red? Light wave lengths. But you initially got the color red programmed into you at an early age. Supposedly they interact with these varied "DMT entities" for very specific reasons. Interesting right?

Opening and closing their eyes, delayed reactions/ no reactions, but more interestingly unsolicited vocalization/reactions. Dodging, diving, and “talking” to nothing. Im not entirely convinced they are having a psychedelic experience but like to joke when I explain why I’m not worried about what has been taught to me as normal post op recovery when using ketamine

[@jnr2349]

As a computer scientist the way I've answered these questions in a Layman's way is using computer science analogies. Groups of neuron activity correspond to perceptions, i think they can be like perception groups where each perceptual unit corresponds to different neuron activity groups. Like classes. Some correspond to placement, like size, hardness, beingness, depth, width, height, relative height, proximity, etc. Others correspond to social perceptions, like person, intelligence, being watched, a face, relation, proximity of person, identity, danger, safety, etc. And some others relate to sensory perceptions like temp, solid, vibration, color, liquidity, touch, unit/separation, etc. Amongst millions of other things, and they're all interconnected and build realities when going off in conjunction. A limited group of neurons may be a vibe, if you add some other groups of neurons it may turn into a notion, yet more is a mental image. Add a whole lot of neuron group activations and eliminate others and now you're really experiencing a sunset on a beach. Each group or groups of neuron activities corresponding to a perceptual element/unit (not necessarily in an additive way). DMT and other psychedelics activate and deactivate neurons groups in the brain in a certain way producing specific realities. Maybe there are chain reaction or oscillating activation, complex feedback, etc. Of course the real question you guys are dealing with is how this all actually happens in the brain and how drugs relate to it.
