When consuming psychedelics at high enough doses I find that rather than acting more "primitive" I find that I can escape the boundaries of my mind and come into a much less "primitive" state and pass into something of a god like frame of mind...
Thoughts are replaced with awareness and quite frequently awe. Beauty and love permeate through out my whole being. I am floating in the cosmos... I am. (Ive really only experienced ego loss of this proportion from smoking DMT, though LSD and RC's have only let me peek through the doors so far)
Nice topic BRob.

Xorkoth said:^^ Jesus may have had children... the Bible is unclear and some historians think he probably had a wife and a family. This is of course speculation. And also off-topic.
Xorkoth said:See, that is one aspect of buddhism I disagree with... I think that we were given this physical life in order to experience the joys and sorrows of existence.
If we live life to be rid of the ego, we have denied ourselves this experience. I think it's important to experience the loss or submission of ego, but to try to become one... well, in death we will become one, so why spend your whole life trying to do so? That would be missing the whole point, in my opinion.
