The Shroomery is probably a better place to drum up support for any apocalypse predictions.
See
here if you're interested in a mini-debate we had a while back.
Psychedelic "revelations" still have to be tempered with rationality.
Agreed there. I mean, I fail to understand this eschaton-nonsense at all; why would an increase ingeo-magnetic waves increase production of endogenous DMT; firstyly, you have to prove definitevely that DMT IS endogenous- speculation is raised in the extraction procedures from human by-products possibly creating DMT.
Plus we have a MAO system to reduce levels of monamines like tryptamines. How and what will inhibit that, the reversal of the magnetic poles?
Anywat, after the eschaton when we still presumably have our physical forms (we must have physicality for DMT to effects us- take away the resceptor subtype and there is no DMT experience), yet have transcended- what are we going to eat? Whose gonna turn off the taps? How could humanity possibly survive such an affair?
I am gonna make a statement- this 2012 STUFF IS A LOAD OF UTTER JUNK. Its a pathetic excuse for people to pretend that the future wil be better then this; BUT if you examine it, it simpy doesn't make sense. Why would the world end then?
I'm not having a go at you Eschaton, but I have grown to loathe this doomsday psychedelic culture. To be honest, I'd rather extremism and fundamentalism stayed away from drug use, but as we have seen from the 60's on, it doesn't. I am certain, through my own intuition and my own teachings under the influence of DMT and DPT that this apocalypse is not going to happen. I am also very intent on destroying this idea- its weak and pathetic, its gives us reason to forget the present, and it causes fear, not love or peace.
The world of humans beings cannot and willnot change so dramatically in one day of one year- how do I know? I have ahad a vision of the entire universe and couldn't even find Earth. Nothing important will ever happen to us, even if we want it to. The likelihood of our existence changing, for the better or worse, for a REASON, is so slim when one considers the vastness of the universe. Humans are naught but thinking animals; why would we be the ones to have our conciousness elevated? What about ponies and zebras?
Its the ends of our lives, our grand deaths, that is the only definte fate for humans at this stage.
The idea of worlds end- I spurn it now. If it IS the case, that DMT production will ramp up- then ffs why are we smoking it? What if our phyical tolerances leaves us stranded back on earth? What would we see- magical glowing beings flying around in joy, or zombies, starving and decaying and smiling from ear-to-ear?
Fear not I say, neither aniticpate the end nor welcome it nor shun it- remember as humans, we do share something real and meaningful, not just a psychedelic dream of Nowehere. Which the eschaton is....
: I have been nursing a theory along
these lines for some time. Briefly, that
the N-methylating enzyme responsible
for DMT production turns on in
everyone across the planet at the
same time, thus ushering in the
escahton, messianic age,
non-corporeal consciousness, or what
have you. This could take place any
number of ways; one way is a common
cold virus gets a bit of DNA implanted
into it that is inserted into all of us,
which is programmed to turn on at
some specific time, unleashing the
N-methylating enzyme effects. This
time would be an astrologically
determined event, such as solar flare,
particular constellation alignment, etc.
Of course, along the lines of your
interest in John Mack's work, that
stimulus for enzyme activation could
come from "them."
I am sorry, but what? This is Rick Strassman talking yeah? That is insanity- it makes no sense. How can DNA implanted in a cold infect everyone on the planet and somehow switch on a enzyme system? That would be like saying we shoud use common colds as a culture for dinosaur DNA and by implanting that in us, we shoud hopefully grow dinosaurs. DNA doesn't infect you like that- have you ever eaten a meal where your not consuming mass amounts of DNA?
I bolded the parts I think are ridiculous; an astrological event (as happens every nanonesecond) is going to signal to our exogenous DNA-implants to switch of MAO and release DMT?
This 2012 thing is worse then I though. I will laugh so heartily on that day, when absolute;y nothing changes.
