Joe Rogan Is Stunned By Paul Stamets Stories About the Multiverse

[@BulletMagnetLive]

I've never taken drugs but I had an experience that I cannot explain. In 2016 my wife and I had a son who passed after 2 days due to an issue with his lungs. We were present for attempted life saving procedures by the doctors and it was horrific. This hit us pretty hard and I suffer from PTSD, in the beginning I was having full-blown panic attacks, drinking heavily, at times I can confidently say I did not have a grip on reality. I had an extremely realistic dream where he didn't die and we had him back at home and everything was exactly like his room we had prepared for him. I told my wife about it and she went white when I said she gave him a little blue elephant. She had actually bought a blue elephant for him but not shown me and had kept it in a box of toys to give to him when he got home. When she showed it to me it was exactly as it looked in my dream. I take great comfort in the possibility that there might be another existence where things worked out.

I tragically & unexpectedly lost my 2 youngest children and my father in a 6 mo. period. I developed PTSD and epileptic seizures from the trauma. Absolute debilitating deviation and unimaginable grief hardly describes the depth of pain. I couldn't work, I lost my home but even worse, I lost my purpose, reason, hope and way in life. I was a like a test subject for Drs w/different meds and the side effects were killing me. My body was screaming at me that this was wrong. A chance encounter with an old friend had me trying mushrooms. I could see in color again for the 1st time in years, a sense of peace moved through me, I could hear all the sounds of outside like a symphony of the most beautiful music knowing everything and everyone played their part and that without everything it wouldn't exist. Then it hit me like diving into a warm lake of water... my children are still here they are part of that symphony carried by the wind. That experience helped me to move forward and I was able to eventually get off all the medications and in a sense live again.

There is no way to prove it, it's just an assumption he's made based on personal feelings. There could be so many explanations for what he thinks was a supranatural phenomenon, he took drugs.. To jump to such an improbable conclusion suggests that he's not applying actual scientific methods. He's just jumping to the most improbable conclusion, based on what? A hallucinogen?

Paul’s story reminds me of a time when I was in elementary school. I was swimming in a neighbors’ pool. They had a large basketball rim that floated on the water, and the net went underwater pretty deep down (I know it sounds dangerous idk why they had it, thinking back on it). Well, my friend and I would dive through it all the time. One day, I was outside alone for just a few minutes while everyone went in to get pizza. After I dove through, my foot got tangled in the netting. I tried to untangle it but I couldn’t get it loose and I was starting to panic from holding my breath for so long. I closed my eyes and tried to swim up but I couldn’t get up to the surface. After struggling, all of the sudden I feel two hands pull me up from my armpits and my foot breaking loose. I remember it being forceful and feeling kind of painful. When I came to the surface, I turned around to look at and thank whoever had helped me. I thought it was my neighbor’s older brother, but nobody was outside with me. I was pretty freaked out but I didn’t say anything to their family about it. This is one of those stories that I don’t like to tell because people think you’re lying or crazy. I’m not religious, and I don’t have anything to gain out of sharing this story, but it’s one I will never forget and always wonder about.

I have a very similar story except I was 2 years old and it was a frozen gold fish pond. I remember seeing the pond as I round the corner of my grandparents house, and the next thing I remember, I'm standing beside the pond soaking wet from my stomach down. The bottom of the pond where I fell in was curved and covered in incredibly slippery algae, there is no possible way that I could have stayed on my feet, let alone pull myself up out of the pond which would have been like getting out of a pool with no ladder. I still believe to this day it was my guardian angel

During the summer of 1962 at 15 years old, I had an out of body experience that blew all my concepts about reality out of the water in the most wonderful way. I was at the end of a 2 week camping trip deep into the Yallo Bolly wilderness area in Shasta County with my dad and my best friend and his dad...so deep into the mountains that animals and birds had no ingrained fear of humans (yet). I decided on the eve of our last day there to go for a long walk by myself to commune with this wonderful place one last time, and I sat on a fallen log at the edge of the forest. I had never even heard about the drug culture back then nor had ever had any alcohol, but after some time of deeply opening my heart and feeling so much gratitude for what I had experienced there, I entered a state where the love I sent out cycled back to me in a loop and kept cycling like that with the experience becoming more and more intense until I could no longer hold it all in my body. At that point I was lifted out of my body and high into the sky until I could see out over the top of the forest, and everything in sight was emanating white light...from each tree and stone on the ground and bush...bursting with white light. Then I returned to my body, and was so deeply moved and somehow changed that I didn't want to return to life as I had known it, nor even acknowledge my father and friends waiting for me back at the campsite. Eventually of course I did, but I kept that experience to myself and never told a soul until many years later when I was attending college. I finally shared it with a friend, who it turned out had had his own similar experience when he was younger at the beach during sunset...he had explored some writings about this kind of thing and told me that what we had both experienced was called an Oceanic experience. To me it felt like a badly needed affirmation at 15 that I was not alone, and that I was loved.

I had an OBE once when I was 20-21 I'd been suffering sleep apnea for the past month, every night when I tried to go to sleep i would quit breathing. I could feel it happening and I'd force myself to gasp and wake back up, well one night it was happening again so I just quit fighting it and let go, I could feel myself getting dizzy so I put my hands down to my sides to feel the bed and steady myself, only the bed wasn't there, in shock i opened my eyes and was floating face to face with my own body laying in bed, i blinked and was instantly floating at the side of my bed (still observing my body) What should have been fear and terror was replaced with a sense of peace, almost serenity. I looked towards the window and attempted to float out of it only to be pulled back into my body through my eye (like a puff of smoke) i beleive we're tethered to our bodies so we don't drift too far and become lost. But ever since that night I've never had a problem with my sleep apnea again, that was damn near 30 years ago and it just completely disappeared. Years later me and my brother met these two chicks that were all into spirituality and palm reading and all that, one of them had a book I was flipping through and I came to a section all about OBEs (out of body experiences) and it was almost word for word exactly what happened to me

this is extremely interesting, to me it seems that mushrooms have an extremely complex internal systems both in their intricate connecting to every living thing in their enviroment and within their system and also the metaphysical aspect that happens when we consume them. To me your experience was a literal conversation with sentience that we cannot understand. Which most of the time these mushrooms give the user some type of insight into their life. but with you it was more like expressing a feeling it had over something. Now we can see this simply as the moment in which your brain realized the amazing importance in our ability to build. Which at the end of the day is the real separation between us human most organisms (understanding that there are many animals that build their environment; none quite like us tho). which is understandable because we have moments of realization all thru out life, more usually while under any type of influence. another theory is, it could be the mushrooms consciousness connect with you and imparting some truth on you. When most of the time relatable to each individual life and some type of guide. this time it was more of a look this is what we think of you.

Also another time doing a heroic dose I experienced a water phenomenon where it seemed like I was in water, I think the shrooms might have grown in or around dead fish and somehow that fishes experience of life was passed onto me 🤣 I laugh but that's what I think happened some how.

I joke about the fact that God does not give us gifts like this to exploit for our benefit or I would spend a great deal of time gambling however there have been multiple occasions where a friend or family member took a different path home or changed plans altogether based on something I "saw" I do need to refocus on growing this beautiful gift, I said it seems like I'm not able to exploit it but be blessed by it I have been... I am not typically a morning person but one morning 5:30 exactly I sat up in bed and just the word (Mom) blasting in my head I got up and went straight to her house and called an ambulance 3 min later she'd developed a stomach bleed and had less than an hour to live, Im so grateful I listened, that was 20 years ago... she is a perky 85 year old now thank God.

I like to believe that was just me maybe predicting what she'd do since i heard her car park, but that sh*t was just too much.

[@samturner6061]

The Deja vu experience is identical in feeling and sensation to that of remembering a dream you had, later in the day. It is far more reasonable to believe that, considering the nature of time warping in dream states, and the legendary expanse of the human mind in its capability to foresee, create, remember experiences and create these situations, and the number we DON'T remember, that we are simply remembering that we have dreamed of doing exactly the thing we are doing in real life. I have several experiences of exactly this, impossible to prove to anyone because it is my experience but I'll explain it. One morning, I was looking around the kitchen for something to eat, and I opened the cupboard and saw that we don't have any cereal, but then I found some old porridge oats hidden behind a blender. At that moment, I felt the deja vu feeling, and upon meditating on it while standing for a moment, I realised that while I was waking up, I'd actually travelled out of my body in a semi dream state and believed I was still awake, walked downstairs opened the cupboard and had this exact experience. Upon waking up, I had looked at my phone and got pissed off with some asswipes on facebook talking crap they don't understand, and had forgot about this experience because it was so simple and basic - I mean I just walked downstairs and opened a cupboard. But I appear to have accurately foreseen real events. Now I'm reiterating here - considering the amount of different things we can do with our minds, all the different days and moments we can create these moments in our minds, it's bound to happen eventually that we see something that actually happens in real life. So I believe that deja vu is just remembering one of these moments. The sensation is bringing the knowledge of a moment from the subconscious memory into the conscious.

I generally don't comment oftenly but this is interesting and never have discussed about this to anyone other than family. It was back in 2017. I was in my final year of my electrical engineering full time course in college which was somewhat 100 miles away from home. Lived in college hostel. My mother is a teacher and she travels everyday by bus to her school like 60 miles in total everyday. I am pretty much a busy guy, sober throughout my life (you know how strict Indian parents are at keeping an eye on their children even sitting far away from them, through acquaints and all) and I use to keep myself busy to avoid overthinking. On a Tuesday evening came back to hostel from classes, she phone called me everyday in the evening, we talked normal she asked me about my day etc. and everything what we talked about daily. After we hung up the call, the very next train of thoughts that rushes in my mind that I never thought about ever before was, "My mom, she has travelled all her life to work and bus accidents are really a daily tragedy on Indian roads due to heavy traffic and dense population. Like what is the probability that she has been in a bus that never met with an accident?" The day passed by, had dinner and did my assessments. The following day, it was regular as daily. Did classes 9-4, came back to hostel and changed. I was waiting for the call but the time passed by 5 to 6 to 7. I called at her phone and a relative picked up her phone and said, "Hello Aman, how are your studies going on? There is a thing I need to tell you that your mother met with an accident today morning on her way to school. Nothing to worry about she is okay, she has minor injuries and we all are with her in the hospital. We just couldn't inform you as she said "Aman doesn't need to know as he'll come back home which can affect his preparation for his semester exams next week"" My jaw was on the floor, I was in college can not go home because there was no transport available at that point of time (because the college was in hills). I waited till the next morning, took the first bus. Reached home, she was home till then from hospital. She had two bruises under her left eye and her cheek. Her head was dressed as the bus' glass window chips were in her head and she had a backache due to the impact. She rested in her bed, saw me as I entered the room and smiled. I was just speechless and mind-fucked at that moment of time. To this day I can not believe how tf that happened?

Everytime our eyes met we we're thinking "wtf is going on right now" Lol but it was only us two experiencing it and talked about it afterwards. Telepathy from my personal experience was'nt actually like hearing words from someone else's mind but just communicating somehow..sort of like telling how someone feels based off of their body and facial expression is the best analogy for what I felt at that time of connecting with my friend on what I still believe was telepathy. The mind is a strange thing, sorry for the long story lol seeing your comment brought back that memory I've kept repressed for the last 7 years

[@TheCookieTheMonster]

Dude telepathy is real and I believe some yogis or zen masters or fully realized/ enlightened beings have been able to harness this in some way. I had some experience of being able to read a friends thoughts once. I mistook them for my own thoughts essentially while extremely high and somewhat trying to meditate. I felt a thought sort of come to me as if from outside in a way and I said it aloud, and my friend said he thought the exact same thing at the same time. And it was too specific to be parallel thinking. Sounds not very abnormal I guess when I say it, but it seemed so surreal that it was unbelievable. Like we’d shared some sort of frequency. And it made me somewhat paranoid for a while on a side note.

I once had a lucid dream that I was hanging out with a long term ex. I mean it had been at least 5 years since I had spoke to her. I was in a living room with her and her family just chatting it up. When I woke up the next day I though it was strange to dream about her because she hadn’t crossed my mind in a very long time. Well later that evening I receive a phone call from an unknown number. Usually I don’t answer unknown numbers but it had a Texas area code ( I was living in California at the time) and I’m originally from Texas. So I figured it was family with a new number or something. Turns out it was that same ex I had a dream about. She was calling me because she was on vacation with her family and they were reminiscing about old times and (we had spent our entire high school years together) I guess my name happened to come up in conversation. She then started to think about me and wanted to see how I was doing. So she decided to call and find out. Someone please explain how this can happen.

Recently, on a mushroom trip, I sat outside in the sun with my dog, and as I took in the scenery, I saw bees and huming birds flying all around as the wind seemed to come and go. But as I sat there smoking a cigarette and petting my dog, I suddenly noticed that I no longer could hear anything. No buzzing bees or huming birds, no sound from the wind as it passed through hundreds of thousands of trees that were all around me. Earth was suddenly and eerily quiet. And what I think is really the most interesting part about this portion of my trip is that, not only could I no longer hear the sounds of nature, but I also could no longer hear the annoying high-pitched ringing within my ears that resulted from two deployments, one to Iraq, and one to Afghanistan, while serving in the army. Being abruptly encompassed by absolute silence was very, very strange and a little unnerving, to be honest. When I closed my eyes, visions of fractals flooded my mind. And what I enjoyed most about that part is that, the fractals appeared within my mind without any effort at all. I simply closed my eyes and then found myself looking out at these HD infinitely inward and outward geometric patterns. That's sort of difficult thing for me to do normally, especially without the assistance of psilocybin. Another trip is planned very soon and I'm very much looking forward to the experience.

While smoking things actually got more intense I could hear wind blowing,birds chirping, trees moving, dogs barking, and my patio wind chimes. So much over stimulation I closed my eyes out my hands in prayer straightens my posture. And I swear I. That moment everything got real quite mute basically and I perceived being in the cloud like when you’re on a plane. All I could see were clues like I was on a peak of a mountain top. And I felt this energy . It was warm, comforting divine, I felt like I was in perfect harmony with the universe it was beautiful amazing I was in perfect balance with everything in sync.

Similar thing happened to me when I was 17 years old. I'd been at a keg party at my friend's. He had a 3 story house with a conservatory reaching the second floor. There was maybe about 12 of us sitting up in my friends room drinking. Two of my other friends had taken the keg onto the conservatory roof. I went out his bedroom window like i'd done 100's of times before to swing down to the conservatory. But upon positioning myself onto the window ledge I tripped and fell head first, missing the conservatory roof completely and heading instead on a 3 story straight fall right onto the concrete below. At that moment time slowed down, my life literally flashed before my eyes and I made peace with the fact that I was a bout to probably break my neck. I can recall being a bit disappointed at the fact that my friends were about to be scarred for life due to my stupidity. But other than that I accepted it. I then open my eyes shocked at what I saw, I was in the doorway of my friends bedroom. A group of maybe 8-10 people had gathered at the window and were in a panic looking down to the ground below. My friend turns around looking puzzled seeing me at the doorway and asks what just happened. I tell him I tripped & fell out his window then ended up somehow back inside the house, 3 floors up in the same room I just fell from. We've regularly talked about it down the years, each of us never being able to offer a definitive explanation for what happened. I sometimes think to this day maybe I actually did die in that reality and my consciousness was just directly transported to another. Definitely wouldn't rule out the idea of a multi verse that's for sure.

I ended up getting shot in the dream and woke up. That evening we ordered from a restaurant we had never ordered from and I when I went to pick up the order I entered through the front door instead of the side as there was no parking available near that door. As soon as I entered the restaurant I saw the side entrance where you pick up to go orders and instantly recognized it as the entrance from my dream. Same door, color, counter and the same fucking lady at the register. I was completely frozen and scared shitless waiting for some guy to come barging in to rob the joint but he never did. It was one of the eeriest things I've ever experienced. I always wondered if I saw the events of an alternate reality or timeline that day.

Last year, my boss was out of town on business. The day he was expected back, I was at his house helping to babysit his 3 boys. We spoke on the phone and I told him I had to go do some video shoot about 20 minutes drive from his apartment. "I should be back in a few hours." And he said he'd be home by then too. While I was on set (outdoor location) I did a quick recce to check out interesting angles and saw a wall that got my attention. This wall incidentally belonged to a hospital. It took me a minute before I could realize this as I never walked that street as I did that day. Stood right in front of the entrance, across the street to get a wide view. Walking down the street, around the corner I discovered a morgue too. Anyways I did my thing and it was a successful shoot. Back at my boss, we got chatting as he shared information about his trip, and I did about my video shoot etc. We even saw a movie too that evening. I left the next morning. Two days later I was planning a trip out of town and needed some advice from him. His son, 8, picked up the phone and told me Dad was ill, I will have to call back. I thought to myself, perhaps a fever or something mild. A day later, I followed up with some messages and he didn't reply. By the third morning while I was prepping to go see him, I got the call. The nanny was weeping as she said Boss is not waking up. I was beyond shocked, devastated. On my way to the house, I was called to go the hospital instead-the ambulance had already picked him up. But what hospital? They told me the name. By the time I alighted the Uber, under the rain, I was standing just as I stood right in front of the hospital, across the road, a few days before. Then it occurred to me. I was here for the first time just a few days ago. After some paperwork, we were directed to the same morgue just around the corner. It was a surreal moment for me.

I had a dream about my grandma the night she died. Had no contact with her for years and no reason to dream about her. Didn't even know she was sick. Never had a dream before or since involving her. It was really strange.

I have such experience multiple times without the use of substance. I see segments of future in dreams and one day the exact same segment would unfold in waking life and I knew exactly what's going to happen next and it happens. Sometimes the event is just random stuff and sometimes it's something very profound. I would see places I've never been to or seen before in any shape or form and 4 years later I was in Peru trekking on the mountain and suddenly remembered the view I saw in dreams 4 years ago. Due to lack of explanation I've kept it aside as nothing too important but everytime I experience it I can't help but question reality. It's absolutely weird.
