Haha well if you ever feel compelled to SWIM, that's how it's done figured it were actually someone else. Now I'm really intrigued, I hope that should you choose to try it out, your experience is positive whatever happens

 

[Just A Guy]

I honestly have no idea on this haha, the question regarding what would happen in the mind of someone who'd been blind from birth is similar, though even that never really got an answer.

Should whomever this is you speak of decide to give it a shot, I'd strongly recommend DMT as the trial substance due to its duration. As you said, it might blank out sensory input in some way and be uncomfortable - at least with DMT you won't be stuck that way too long


lol Bagseed...I presume not much study was accomplished? Or at the least, your attention was being drawn elsewhere

So I'm strongly considering buying a proper drone and starting a small aerial photography project for weekends. I haven't seen anything similar advertised at all so I may be able to grab a niche market with real estate companies and car clubs etc while there's little competition...hmm!

That's a great idea that I think you should really engage.

I'm discovering legislation says no....I need to be licensed as though it were a true UAV if I wish to use it to make money....likely this means I'll simply do discreet cash only jobs and the government can get fucked on their tax cut if they're going to give me a heap of hoops to jump through lol

Still absolutely keen on buying it though!

it was pretty productive actually... cute girls motivate me

had the exam just now, it was easier than anticipated, so I think it will be alright. if everything works out, the next week will be all about computational chemistry (I have to pass the exam to get into that course)...

I also have a job interview later today, and tomorrow we will have a party in the appartement.. good times

I had a similar idea a while back. Too many hoops for me. There is sound reasoning behind the license. Make sure you don't fly that drone into a 747 engine. Yikes!

Congrats bagseed I know you got it in you man.

Hello all! First post! I suppose I'll post in the introductory section to introduce outside of this thread, or maybe I should just do it now briefly to provide some context!

I'm nearly 25, having browsed Bluelight for at least the last 6 years and Erowid for the last ten. I have played with maybe 30 different RC's, 1/3 being psychedelics(I know NOT ENOUGH)....

Anyways I'm trying to get at, I just posted the following to Reddit to hopefully gain some insight, started reading this thread and decided "Okay let's get into posting on BL".....

Title - Help integrating 300mics - Experienced A LOT! Light Flashes, Telepathy, Noosphere, etc.

"I had been studying Timothy Leary's "Programming the psychedelic experience" for nearly a year only to realize "I knew nothing"(as I said to myself coming down).A friend and myself took 300 mics and experienced such significance, so much spirituality and insight into what I thought was so silly before but my actual soul as opposed to the ego, gaming playing personality that is my identity....
Flashes of light at the most significant moments of consciousness stripped bare, naked, high res paradigm shifting realizations... It was literally as if the flashes of light happened to let me know to remember that paradigm shifting realization...
I felt so connected to everything, I understood my brain as an organic neural net arising out of low level organization matter that through a billion years of evolution self organized into a sentient being that perceives itself as living off a planet.... To experience awareness allows matter to have existed... The earth is a biosphere and global consciousness, planetary consciousness, humans are a phase of existence of this planetary entity.... You can tap into that by stripping bare the normal filters that tune down the resolution and frequency of the input signals coming in... These filters are there because otherwise we'd go mad...
All of this happened while feeling highly telepathic with my tripping partner, it was so beautiful, there were moments of clarity... We were oscillating between feelings rapidly but we ended with a lot of "seeking rebirth"...
I would just like some direction in where to continue reading so I can understand this numinous realm and bring back souvenirs for the rest of us to consume...."

There's so much information and data out there for me to consume, but the curation is off... I don't know where to keep digging deeper at to help me understand psychedelics/psychedelic experiences so I can just.... IDK... understand the effects of psychedelics more so I can tap into it? I don't know what I'm trying to ask, I genuinely just want to ponder the universe and keep reading....

I'm pretty sure different psychedelics allow you to enter different spiritual realms(and human realms without the billion year old evolutionary filters that block the data coming in, ya know, because psychedelics boost the fidelity, the resolution, of the input signals... jesus am I computer? My brain is like 400 different computers, each with a different function.... oh man...) that is given that spiritual realms exist(as ayahuasca is kind of pointing to eh?).....

To give you some more context, I haven't tripped in years and boy did I forget about the entire reason I got the seed of life tattooed on my back to remind me of the spirituality 4 grams of penis envy's showed me.....

I know I sound lost and scattered, but isn't that part of coming back from the numinous without proper orientation?(well maybe not quite but still )

Oh and this was a week ago on the "wolf" full moon(on accident), and I'm currently on 12.5mics and a 'Bio-Berry'(bio-jesus/hashberry bho) hash hit with two sweet and spicy tasty tea's! Been getting more in tune with my body/mind lately(body-mind, we are body-minds)... Ranting...

I'll try to be more focused and directed in my future posts..... for whatever reason I felt the need to type that.... "a heightened sense of awareness of one's own feelings and drive. "

..........

 

[TurnedOnTunedIn]

WOW....

Wrong thread -__-

 

[pharmakos]

welcome to bluelight

 

[TurnedOnTunedIn]

Because we are headed to a technological singularity and virtual reality 'realms', based on the quantified self and big brother collecting data, Google's repository of all of human knowledge, facebook's data collection of all these characters...

Everything we put out there on the internet is going to be part of the noosphere, when we upload our consciousnesses to a quantum super computer that eventually is capable of simulating universes, like the one we're in right now....

Psychedelics help you tune in to the input signals that are already there.... Gotta interpret them correctly, otherwise... I'll sound INSANE!

 

[pharmakos]

Simulation Theory doesn't know whether or not a truly complete universe simulation can actually be created, tho. imo Godel's Incompleteness Theorem kind of makes it impossible, but i'm no expert on cosmological eschatology :D

 

[yepyepwoah]

What trozzle, you thought the government was gonna let you make some money withoit them controlling it/getting a piece?

 

[jammin83]

well dudes, just signed a lease and picked up a key to my new place. wasnt easy, as being a criminal isnt always kind to those looking for places to live, but it went through and we feel blessed. me and ms jammin are moving in together finally. pretty nice place actually. only a few minutes away from the beach.

been a very tough 6 years but its getting easier. between the system, the neurological problems and everything else its been quite a ride. fell pretty much as hard as you can fall but with a lot of time and a lot of hard work things are turning around. my job is going well, making decent money, can support myself and be independent. i've always been fiercely independent and its really been taxing having to rely on friends and family over the last couple years.

feeling restored and it feels fantastic. jammins officially back on his feet. need a new bong, some house stuff, etc, but it will all come with time. gonna make it a priority to get my studio set back up so i can start making much more professional tracks soon. hoping to get a imac and a decent DAW to get things started.

feeling really good about things and hasn't really been that way in quite a while so things are feeling pretty stellar right about now. and my team is gonna win the superbowl next week! :D

 

[Bluuberry]

Fuck yes jammin, that's awesome! Congrats on your new pad. The personal studio is the best part of having your own place, imo.

It's not so much that lol, I came across a thread with similar reason stated however another user linked the below video showing at least GE's gas turbine testing. They consume anything haha...I don't think I should be made to pay full UAV certification as well just to shoot someone's wedding; I ain't flying up a few thousand feet (pretty sure the drone I bought has a ceiling about starting elevation) and not going anywhere near an airport (they have restricted areas you literally cannot fly it - GPS knows where your drone is, and unless your serial has an exemption, you can't enter the area).

What trozzle, you thought the government was gonna let you make some money withoit them controlling it/getting a piece?

I was going to register a business and pay tax etc until I discovered I needed licensing to use the thing for profit...Liability insurance, sure....but fuck em, I'll just do cash jobs for rural property sales n shit. Mostly for fun anyway haha.

Just bought it like 15 mins ago


I'm also in the process of moving out with my partner over the next month...fuck I hate this. I technically have no real rental references as I've sub-leased with the same people for 3 years now, and sub-leased for like 18 months prior to that. Bleh.

Last night was really cool... me and the band and friends have been working on putting together a podcast featuring local artists and an interview/feature artist every episode. We got the first episode out and the response has been huge, much bigger than I expected. We have some of the best and most successful local musicians in line to do episodes, as a result of the response from the first episode, and people seem really enthusiastic about it. We even have someone who may want to pay us to do it regularly on his site (and he's friends with Warren Haynes). Anyway, last night we did the interview for the second episode, with an awesome local band. They came over to the band house/studio and we chilled, did the interview, smoked weed, and then they recorded 3 songs from their new album live, and we and they both now have those unique recordings, one of which they did in a different style than they did it on their album (they're going to go on the episode as well of course). They were really happy with the quality of the recordings and the whole process, and they stayed and chilled for over an hour afterwards. It was awesome, we felt grateful to them for allowing us that opportunity, and they felt grateful to us that they got to record 3 awesome tracks for free at a cool place. So we mutually helped each other, everybody wins. It's exactly what we're trying to do with this thing, to help build a musical community. We talked about that specifically and many other things as well, and now I'd say we're band friends. Really nice and cool guys.

I gotta start working on the website, since this is taking off so quickly. One of our future episodes is going to be with my absolute favorite local band, one of my favorite bands of all time, I'm SO excited for that.

Fuck yeah man, I'm so glad to hear it. Life can always turn around. I realized that so hard in 2014.

 

[Yeetbeat]

Ah Xorkoth sounds like you guys are definitely onto something good!

 

[yepyepwoah]

Have decided on a trip out to Utah/Colorado sometime in April probably with my mom and brother. Was camping with my brother last weekend and said we should go to some mountains in Colorado this summer. That turned into asking my mom to go. Part of me is like, fuck we won't be able to do some trails b/c she is out of shape, but the other part is like "who took you to yellowstone as a kid, who took you to tennesee, disney world". Yah, so what's the point of being human if we don't act like it and include people in things right?

Then it was like "wait, fuck summer, we are all adults, anyone have a problem getting off in april when things are less crowded but not snowy"? hahaha. Seriously, fuck summer crowds.

Anyway. I think we are going to drive out to Zion then back through Colorado. Mostly camping, maybe a few nights in some cheaper rental shit for mom. Fucking campsites are $20-$30 nowadays, with showers extra if they have them at half the places. Whats another $50 for a roof? Whats up with charging $30 to camp. Why can't I just pitch a tent wherever I want? This is America god damn it, have the terrorist won allready?

We are heading to Zion, my brother has been to Angels Landing and I saw some pictures, I almost came. I have to go

We will probably hit up Arches National Park in Utah as well. Any of you have any suggestions for southern utah/colorado. Let me in on some locals only shit ;-)

I am pretty fucking stoked. I love being outside.

 

[yepyepwoah]

but fuck em, I'll just do cash jobs

thats the spirit! get it in while cash still exist.

Also. I dunno if you guys do craigslist in aus, but that can help with renting with no recent history. People list shit and don't give a fuck most times

 

[Yeetbeat]

Unfortunately (fortunately?) the kinds of places we're looking at aren't likely to be found through private arrangements gotta deal with stupid real estate fucks taking care of the place for wankers that probably own 4 or 5 properties around the city they rent out. We're pretty much on the peak of our property boom, so unfortunately cards still ever so slightly stacked in the owner's favour.

 

[Thorns Have Roses]

Our cat has been dying over the past few days, she's 13 or 14 years old, so it's not surprising, but it's difficult to watch. She was always skinny, but I picked her up today and dammit I did not feel any weight at all, like lifting up a feather, and she can barely limp a few feet before falling over, and meows so pleadingly. I mean, y'all know that the feelings I have to offer animals are not the same as I have to offer people, but my sister's pretty beaten' up about it and was crying earlier and that hurts me.
