DMT - Are we really going about this the right way?

[headphoneperson]

Allow me to add that that it is my belief that when an individual ceases to be ignorant of his ignorance and begins to watch and understand his thoughts and what brings them about, he will no longer react to them blindly.

And to the extent that ignorance is blindness, I am reminded of the fact that frogs' eyes do not make micro-saccades (they do not constantly move minutely back-and-forth like ours). The result of this is that they are blind to anything that doesn't move -- their retinal cells become saturated or habituated.

Psychedelics make things visible to me in the same sense. I am not saying the actual content of what I 'see' on psychedelics is real or important -- only that they help to dishabituate me to the here and now, to my self, to my assumptions, to my ignorance.

Thanks for this discussion Eternity. I appreciate much of what you have said.
