Hey guys, its been quite awhile since I last posted here, so I figured I would stop by to see if any of you would care to read some of my latest DMT-inspired material. For those of you that are interested, I have recently taken some time to extensively update my site. The topics covered are something that I believe will be of high relevance to many of the posters here, hence why I am dropping by. Please understand, my website doesn't have ads or anything, i.e., I am not doing this for any kind of money or egoic BS. This site is strictly for sharing my thoughts with like-minded people; most of all, it is a personal hobby that I enjoy immensely. So please, if you care to, take the time to read a little bit of what I have written. If you do, let me know what you think; I would really appreciate any and all feedback.

And so, the big question: What happens to our consciousness when we die? Do we merely cease to exist and fade to black, or do we experience a continuity beyond our ability to imagine? To effectively answer this question, you must first and foremost have an experiential frame of reference upon which to base your deductions, otherwise any effort made will ultimately be stifled by the conceptually limited scope of merely inferential knowledge. This is because inferential knowledge cannot replace first hand experience, especially in this case where we are dealing with such a proverbial black hole as death. Induction via the scientific method doesn't stand a chance to provide a definitive answer to this perennial question because this experience cannot be observed objectively and it most certainly cannot be reduced to mere mechanics of biology, as made clear by Near-Death Experience research.
This is to say that, in order to truly understand death, you must be formally acquainted with it experientially; literally, you must experience death and somehow live to tell about it. Understandably, the vast majority of people lack this prerequisite for forming a conceptually deep understanding of death and so they are obliged to seek higher council, so to speak, when confronted with such questions beyond their ability to answer. It is for this very reason that we have depended upon enlightened individuals* to provide us with a relative frame of reference upon which to base our beliefs about our existence. When such individuals are lacking, or are disposed of for their influential nature by corrupted individuals, our collective understanding suffers greatly and all too often we are coerced into a state of unconscious malaise, such as the state we inhabit right now. Our only way to combat this unfortunate unconsciousness is by consulting individuals whom have experienced enlightenment, otherwise we are sure to remain in the dark with our governmentally sanctioned view of reality.
*It must be noted, that by merely saying "enlightened individuals", I am leaving a lot open tointerpretation. So, to make myself perfectly clear; enlightened individuals are people who have come to have a Universal frame of reference due to experiences in their lives that, over time, directed them toward integrating their psyche with the world. Some individuals experience enlightenment during certain instances, such as mystical, near-death, or psychedelic experiences, often changing their lives forever; some come to experience it through years of devoted self searching, without the need for such a psychic catalyst.
Regardless of means, all of these individuals report startlingly similar experiences: It is this historical psychic consensus that we must investigate if we are to make sense of our current unconsciousness, first and foremost because it is the only frame of reference that cannot be tainted by our leaders despite their efforts because of its fundamentally archetypal, psychic nature, but most importantly, because of what it reveals about our future; in fact, many enlightened individuals saw these dark times coming. Many argue that the emergence of psychedelics in the modern Western world was a cue for a much needed reflection on our part. I tend to agree; though taboo, psychedelics can provide a truly consciousness-expanding experience that, if properly integrated, can lead to a drastic revolution of mind. The kind of which we so desperately need right now.
Enlightenment is a rare, often fleeting state of consciousness during which a truly Universal frame of reference is bestowed upon an individual. Men isolated by geography and thousands of years have been having this same experience throughout the history of our civilization and even further back into our prehistory. It is, without a shadow of a doubt, the archetype experience that ultimately laid the foundation for our oldest spiritual traditions which sought to definitively answer that which we do not know. This is due to the fact that the those whom are predisposed to experiencing such a state of consciousness often have a great sphere of influence upon their respective communities by default of the inherently sought after and universally relative knowledge that they possess and willingly distribute. And although relatively few have experienced enlightenment, the multitude are able to relate to these spiritually minded men because enlightenment has two microcosmic parallels which nearly every person whom has ever lived has experienced.
These experiences are, of course, that of déjà vu – the distinct feeling of knowing that you have done something before – and synchronicity – the experience of realizing a highly peculiar coincidence that could not be merely due to chance, but must owe its occurrence to a purpose beyond our ability to make sense of (it must be accepted that human beings have been having these experiences for tens of thousands of years at least, as we are no different today biologically than we were during the last glacial epoch which began 100,000 years ago. So it can be safely assumed that, unlike today where these experiences are marginalized as merely peculiar due to our lack of felt spirituality, these experiences once held a very sacred place to our ancestors, who, I would imagine, believed such experiences to be divine revelations).
"The sentiment du déjà vu is based, as I have found in a number of cases, on a foreknowledge in dreams, but we saw that this foreknowledge can also occur in the waking state. In such cases mere chance becomes highly improbable because the coincidence is known in advance. It thus loses its chance character not only psychologically and subjectively, but objectively too, since the accumulation of details that coincide immeasurably increases the improbability of chance as a determining factor. (For correct precognitions of death, Dariex and Flammarion have computed probabilities ranging from 1 in 4,000,000 to 1 in 8,000,000.) So in these cases it would be incongruous to speak of "chance" happenings. It is rather a question of meaningful coincidences. Usually they are explained by precognition – in other words, foreknowledge." Carl Jung, 'On Synchronicity'
"...when an external event touches on some unconscious knowledge, this knowledge can reach consciousness. The event is recognized as a déjà vu, and one remembers a pre-existent knowledge about it." Carl Jung, 'Answer to Job'
"...Meaningful coincidences are thinkable as pure chance. But the more they multiply and the greater and more exact the correspondence is, the more their probability sinks and their unthinkability increases, until they can no longer be regarded as pure chance, but for lack of a causal explanation, have to be thought of as meaningful arrangements . . . Their 'inexplicability' is not due to the fact that the cause is unknown, but to the fact that a cause is not even thinkable in intellectual terms." Carl Jung speaking of synchronicity
These peculiar experiences of predestination and highly unlikely coincidence last for mere seconds, but if experienced repeatedly, are enough to open ones consciousness to the possibility of a higher intelligence. Inversely, enlightenment is a consummative experience of predestination and beyond-chance coincidence that can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours and it often changes a person forever. The climax of the experience involves a full blown epiphany of the Oneness of the Universe: time ends, Eternity is effectively realized, and subsequently, death is experienced as a transition of being; not the end of our existence, eliminating any fear of dying. The person thus raptured experiences the death of his ego; his merely limited sense of self is totally dissolved, enabling him to comprehend for the first time the Ground of All Being; the Eternal Universe of which he understands that he is. All that was previously unconscious is revealed to consciousness: it is as if the entire mystery of life dissolves before ones eyes, leaving one to comprehensively feel and understand the predestined purpose and synchronistic order behind all things and events. The concept of God presents itself as a divine totality symbol of Oneness and paradoxically, reciprocity (Good/Evil etc). Life is seen to be an eternal search for love and understanding, despite all evil and unconsciousness that befalls us; it is all understood to be necessary for a purpose beyond our merely self-conscious awareness.The realization dawns upon consciousness that, "I am God." (This is precisely why Christ equated Himself with the Father, because He was acutely aware that He is the Father; He is God, of which we All are, which, by the way, was his principle teaching.)
"When you make the two one, and when you make the inner as the outer and the outer as the inner and the above as the below ... then shall you enter [the Kingdom].... I am the Light that is above them all, I am the All, the All came forth from Me and the All attained to Me. Cleave a [piece of] wood, I am there; lift up the stone and you will find Me there." Jesus
This experience presents itself as fundamentally absolute and psychically self-affirming; in fact, it is felt to be the most important experience of the subject’s life, often obliging them to lead a life devoted to the dissemination of their newfound knowledge. It is for this reason that, for millennia, we have depended upon these rare individuals who were granted this insight to help us understand that which we are incapable of understanding by ourselves. This is the very basis of religion: the inexperienced multitude follow by an act of faith a predisposed few whom are sanctioned as the arbiters of esoteric knowledge about our existence (God) by default of their divinely imparted wisdom. However, as previously mentioned, this dynamic puts us as adherents in a position of great vulnerability, hence the need for faith in regards to what we are made to believe about our existence by our divinely chosen representatives of the Truth.
There is much, much more at the site.
Take it easy guys.
