Hi all, I wanted to post on this topic because I've been reading a very interesting series of books lately called "The God Series," which basically makes the claim that the entire universe can be explained solely through mathematics and everyone has the potential to "become god/reach complete nirvana/enlightenment" through logic and reason alone. It asserts that the mind is the fundamental domain of everything and that rather than being a product of matter, it is the other way around. Apparently the mind and the mind alone is responsible for all physical processes and everything comes down to particles trying to make sense of each other. It talks a lot about "being" and "becoming" which seems to be an infinite cyclical process where the being is the objective but becoming is always inevitable.
So in essence there is an infinite number of particles with infinite capacity to become "God," or to reach that state of being.
Anyway, the reason I wanted to bring it up is that the author mentions LSD as a means to attain a glimpse at universal consciousness. I know this topic has been discussed at large but I found it interesting to find it mentioned in the context of the book. The best way I can explain it is that we are all one "frequency" (as is evident by the universal appreciation of music) and the ego tends to make us forget this as we all try to make sense of reality. So while everyone has an individual self, we are part of a collective self. Cut from the same cloth, so to speak.
I always found LSD fascinating because it seemed to connect me to the cosmos (on several occasions I felt that I could see myself as a star), and after one trip in particular I found myself attracted to the phrase "Gaia". Later I found out that this translates to the personification of Earth. Anyway, this series has confirmed how spiritually enhancing this substance among others can be. That being said, I believe logic and reason are the means to achieving enlightenment or "gnosis," so it's important to always keep a balance. Just wanted to share my thoughts.
