your planet wont have scientist proving anything remotely close to this subject for at least another 20 years. (more like 100 but im generous)
Any who, i can offer speculation at best on this for the moment.
1. pineal gland may have something to do with this. Any one notice an ever so slight pressure & burning sensation where someone would percieve their "third eye" to be?
2. we all all connected on some level subconsciously or consciously. (varies greatly person to person: i read of a legit official experiment a while back where they took 8people and put them in separate rooms and gave each of them a new cross word puzzle every day for five days to record each persons results, on the 6th day they took the crossword that was in the NY times that day or whatever big paper and didnt mention the fact to them, remember these people were isolated for the whole experiment! So each persons results jumped near or over 25%+ )
I do really believe we all are connected but thats just because iv had a lot of experiences in this life that cant be explained any other way. Also, after tripping a few years you begin to notice that on occasion two people tripping may report the same hallucination at the exact same time. Weird huh?
yeah i didnt read the links before posting, WHATEVER. i just did however and have noticed that i am not the only one who has experienced the binding of thought (i was gonna use "consciousness" but felt thats a lil different)
"or the unusual ESP-like experience that Django and I shared ... a very general conversation that was non-verbal, then mutual recognition of this without ever saying it, and then some toying about with it to make sure we weren't just losing our minds. "
