@AlchemicalGnostic:
As said, he broke down all connections to his friends after this incident, left work, and went away, so I have no idea what his further story was...
I think it was meditation, but I honestly have to say, I never asked.
But as I said it's quite offtopic, so I'm sorry for bringing this up. Sometimes, when I start I tend to drift off
(typical mind problem
)
But from the original topic I basically mostly go with what arcologist said.
Although I would like to elaborate a few things from my POV:
(Again,
I claim not that this is the truth. As this is just what got manifested into my mind at the current position in time on this physical plane. So please feel not offended by anything I say.)
Quote:as a distraction from eternal boredom as an omniscient information entity
That's IMHO a bit a sad POV for an interpretation. I would rather see it like: "It likes to enjoy and experience itself in an eternal play/theater, like a little child".
My POV regarding DMT, or other psychedelics is the following:
IMHO they mess up the functioning of the brain. This makes it harder and harder for the ego to remain coherent and functioning properly. With a certain dose, the ego cannot hold it together and function correctly and you get your ego death. This basically catapults you into now getting aware of your higher planes existence bodies and consciousness.
But the problem is, you can only remember here on this plane what your mind can manifest and interpret during this time. If your mind cannot manifest it, you basically get a whiteout. This is especially often the case with very high doses, as the physical mind just cannot function anymore properly to absorb this information into the physical mind.
I also think, from my experiences that this geometric stuff in the hyperspace is mostly an illusion caused by the malfunctioning of the brain during this time of information absorbing/interpretation. The mind in this state is altered in a way that interpretation is limited to geometric forms. So that's why this gets stored and experienced from a physical mind POV.
E.g. when I was in other planes without using psychedelics, I never experienced this extreme geometric nature.
That's also why I definitely do not think that god realized people etc, have a lot of endogenous DMT or 5-MeO-DMT released for attaining their state of mind.
E.g. If you have ever seen a god realized person in sahaja samadhi, you will realize this. They can function completely normal on this physical plane while at the same time being one, at the highest plane...
Quote:The universe is just a thought, like the vibrations of a space-filling curve allowed to resonate after being plucked. Shipibo patterns bear a striking resemblance to space-filling curves…
I rather see it like Sri Aurobindo described the levels of consciousness.
The thought/vibrational aspect only comes into existence at the level of the overmind (where duality , the "theater" starts). But there are planes of consciousness above that!
Consciousness != thought patterns
The topmost level is the so called Sat-Chit-Ananda (Existence-Consciousness-Bliss).
This is the pure existence.
Please forgive me, if I again drifted too much off. Or for being too boring with all the text.
