junksick said:My own theory is that these drugs open up the reptilian part of the brain, so we are seeing everything through a primitive mentality. It's like being a child... so new age freaks attach "spiritual significance" to something that is purely psychlogical and physiological and make up all these psuedo-theories that don't make a lick of sense unless you too are on these same drugs.
Just my theory though.
yes , its somewhat like being a child or reptile. your mistake is is belieiving that experiencing life through the eyes of a child or reptile lacks spiritual significance. as timothy leary said "the psychedelic experience is the opposite of the birth process", its going backwards insteads of forwards. going back to these primitive states of concioussness dissolves the personal and culteral illusions that many people get lost in. it puts you in the NOW instead of your little made up world of mental concepts that many have come to accept as reality. for many people this has tremendous spiritual significance. it's not necessary to take drugs to make sense of all the theories , nor is it "new age", most meditation technigues and spiritual practises are trying to acheive the same thing and have been around for thousands of years. psychedelics have also been used for thousands of years.
in my own life, their use has brought back hundreds of memories for my early childhood, vivid memories of perceptions thoughts and emotions that had been long forgotten. increased apreciation of everyday perceptions and a much greater amount of bliss. before taking them my mind was never on the moment but always worrying, concerned about some future event. all pointless mind games that i would go through all day long. after taking them i understood that if i wanted peace i had to find it in the present and not by constantly thinking about the future.
