First things first. As far as the math goes, I'm studied. I graduated Navy nuclear school with honors. I know what I'm talking about. The zero thing is really interesting. The above poster nailed it when he said that I was flirting with zero equals infinity. Precisely. Indeed, I have submitted a paper on just this theme as a result of this (this event was a few months ago). Jean Paul Sarte once said that the imagination is the ability to imagine what is not. Well, I sort of reworked that into imagining what "not" is. For you mathmeticians out there I'll start you off here: Its a set theory argument. Start with the set of all numbers. That set describes all quantites (given that an integer is a descriptive term for quantity). That set contains zero. Therefore the set describes nothing. If it describes nothing and all quantity simultaneously...
As for the apparent paradox of no quantity greater than one...think of the set as a living process. Living information (don't start up with drug psychosis here, information theory is already strongly suggesting that this is the case). If you understand quantifying integers to be simply a stoppage of process, then you can begin to fathom how all stopped quantity (matter) is less than one (all matter, or all energy.) I don't want this to deteriorate into a physics ramble. All I'm doing is pointing out that I'm not just a guy who suddenly tripped out about numbers. Read my posts. I've done plenty of trips. Plenty. I know ego death. I know spherical vision. I know psychosis. I understand the parallels. This was a different thing entirely.
Now, as to the method of getting there. In broad strokes, it was a combination of particular diet/fasting/meditation/redosing with the definite objective of breaking through a final barrier. It was, in short, premeditated in that regard. But I'd done a few sigma trips before. Meaning I'd banged my sigma receptors with low dose DXM repeatedly over a period of days and gotten to that place. Some of you know what I'm talking about. It simply isn't reachable with one dose. I've tried, believe me. And I damn near killed myself with a massive (1100mg) dose of Zicam with a liter of white grapefruit juice. A DXM overdose is about the worst thing someone exploring these things can experience, at least it was for me. I've read reports on here of people doing 1200mg doses at once of DXM. Either their livers aren't processing the drug the same way or they're lying, simple as that. DXM in big doses is harder than acid or shrooms in big doses. I know this is all subjective, but experience (true experience, not the fantastic tales of vicarious wishful thinking you get on here sometimes) is it's own validator, and has no substitute. It only takes one 1500 mic acid trip or 15 gram shroom trip to get the picture. These drugs are bigger than me. I don't do those big dose psychedelic trips anymore because once I did them a few times the fact is it only takes a little to get me to that same place now. And that's one of the litmus tests for truth, btw, in my way of reckoning. anyway, back to method. I dosed repeatedly at 300mg per, every few hours over a period of days, until I was there. Once I was there I stayed there for another two days without dosing anything. Sigma this way is no joke. It wasn't like any other drug experience I've ever had, and I've had my share. Do I recommend this? No. DId it hurt me physically? Not that I'm aware of. Indeed, it was one of the most physically pleasing experiences I've ever had (I'm only going to say here that I guaranteed this for myself by adding other pharms to the mix, none of which were psychedelic). But it was pleasurable. All sorts of things happened. But the most significant I already mentioned. It's short and sweet. Psychotic? Okay. But I'm not drooling in a corner or rushing to a drugstore to repeat it. I have a good life, indeed, a better one, for it. So if that's psychosis, count me in.
