Esoteric Light Throughput

[mr peabody]

In 1968, I watched Tim Leary dance out on stage in a white robe at a Moody Blues concert playing tambourine to them singing "Timothy Leary's dead..." Leary was all the rage back then, but the damage done by Leary and others during those years was catastrophic. Some time ago I ran across this comment by Albert Hofmann:

"I was visited by Timothy Leary when he was living in Switzerland. He was a very intelligent man, and quite charming. I enjoyed our conversations very much. However, he also had a need for too much attention. He enjoyed being provocative, and that shifted the focus from what should have been the essential issue. It is unfortunate, but for many years these drugs became taboo. Hopefully, these same problems from the Sixties will not be repeated."

Now I haven't the slightest interest in anything religious, but I feel strongly that psychedelics are the key to life's deepest secrets, and that...

"Behind it all is surely an idea so simple, so beautiful, that when we grasp it, we will say to each other, 'How could it have been otherwise?'" (Wheeler)

The problem, as I see it, is the virtual unavailability of PRACTICAL information concerning psychedelics and their preeminent purpose (in my opinion), which I suggest is currently beyond the means of science to address.

What if the following were true?

Human beings are astronomical instruments, with an aperture like a camera. Psychedelics force the aperture open, in relation to the amount of substance consumed. Like water seeking it's own level, cosmic light will flood through any open channel (with full force), according to aperture dilation.

What if psychedelics were the only tools for developing light throughput?

Just saying - WHAT IF?

What does "light throughput" mean? not familiar with term.

Speaking of "what if" i believe one reason psychedelics are considered forbin because psychedelics always shows the truth of people. Unless you are acting out in charecter there is no escape from who you truly are.

generally signals come in and become impressions for our awareness making memory, but on psychedelics the incoming signals circulate longer and it seems that we fill up with light (sometimes, at least when the signals are not dark.)
signals fade more quickly when we are not on psychedelic.

Oh I love this. With how you have phrased it “the only” tool there becomes a sense of “haves and have nots” - classism at its worst; a group of enlightened individuals who attempt to either keep or disseminate the molecules at their discretion, and a class of “unintentional molecular luddites” at the mercy of these great knowers…

But if it were not the ONLY tool, rather just a tool - it would appear similar to how we see it all now. You would have groups advocating for “natural endogenous” “openings” and others who would argue that the synthetic / exogenous “openings” were just as valid.

I think in some ways, it’s already that way. Certainly mystics of old have argued for the body’s near limitless capabilities without the use of substances, and many have compared and paralleled the psychedelic experience to religious myths / rites / texts.

The way I will relate to this comes off the back of an experience I had where I “died” through so many lives that it became “clear” to me (at that time) that the death process was in fact just the birth process, and that “this” experience is just the meditations of a baby consciousness in his mother’s womb.

In that experience I started to wonder if these molecules weren’t “becoming” as harbingers of or segues to the next iteration.

I guess in the Tibetan sense “this is just an in between” - perhaps enlightened beings have figured out how to transmit knowledge via molecules in such circumstances to the boon of all sentient beings, to help them on their way.

Edit: For clarity, I mean that the molecules and the experience contained can serve as a “practice run” for “death” and correlating this “complete opening of the aperture to the light” as being that “death moment” humans experience.

I have heard that in Tibetan Buddhism there is a focus on “continuity of consciousness” and that they advocate that one can practice for death as one falls asleep. Essentially stating that sleep is like a mini death, I am only relating the psychedelic experience to this same “maintenance of continuity of consciousness during state-shift practice”.

I guess what I'm saying is, in purely scientific (pharmacological) terms, psychedelics are the only tools I know of for developing light throughput - something we notice (I certainly do) when tripping, with exponentially higher levels of light expressed thru one's eyes especially. We are obviously light carriers, capable of handling much higher levels of light - to me a clear indication we are evolving pre-star beings. Hence the interesting notion psychedelics might be used to develop throughput capacity.​

 

[pupnik]

you guys make me think of Carl Gustav Jung drumming up mystic reasoning from cultures and sciences.

I believe humans naturally evolve with or without psychedelics.

 

[pupnik]

our memories continue to incorporate new associations each time they are activated.
it is different than natural selection, but yeah, many people do call it evolution, and our species would not survive without memory though it is somewhat unreliable.
Memory happens without psychedelics as well as with psychedelics.

I believe humans naturally evolve with or without psychedelics.

I believed this 100% for years. But technically, technology can make us go backwards or completely destroy us.

This is why I believe people are turning to nature and psychedelics because we are evolving sort of in a fucked up manner, and we all feel it..

Do I strongly believe psychedelics are the key to whatever humans evolve into? They are definitely more than shits & giggles in my opinion but I also respect yours!!!
Nobody really knows but it's starting to get very interesting.

i think antidepressants are better for that purpose,

although I do think that technology plays a big role in our very lives nowadays, I have to think that turning to psychedelics or at least similar natural visionary concoctions was something humans have done so, all the times.
Definately debatable, but I believe we did.

If it has reached wider use nowadays, might actually be because of our own ill ways. Or because of subconsciously/consciously wishing to modify ill behaviours so to say.
But then again, wasn't that always the case? The set of problems are different at a given time still, that I can see, but to heal/reach a higher/more appealing state has been always a big motivator for taking psychs.

Maybe there is actually a bigger percentage of people taking these things nowadays.
The number of concoctions has definitely risen too
