Endogenous DMT

Migrated topic.
the back of the brain.

it's where people "see the light" from "near death experiences". MRI scans show that part of the brain light up when someone has an NDE. the NDE has been systematically replicated in flight training simulation when pilots are subjected to the centrifugal force tests.

i'm tellin ya, science can explain some mystical states. 8)
what isn't clear is why these states exist, what's the purpose?

Hm, hm. Fascinating.

DMT is a chemical. It is a chemical that can be used as a pharmacological tool to probe the regions of the CNS involved in the generation of subjective experience. It is not magical, it is a drug that alters regions of the CNS involved in constructing a conscious view of reality. Of course it is going to create meaningful complex illusions. The way consciousness is constructed we do not even know if anything but this complex illusions are even possible. Thus these types of experience seems somewhat inevitable with the way that the brains acts to create a unified view of reality. This is to say that intermediate experiences do not seem to exist, the minds view of reality is an all or nothing process.

Very diverse pharmacological agents create this type of complex experience. Kappa antagonists, NMDA antagonists, anti-muscarinic drugs and the classical hallucinogens (5-HT, TAAR drugs). Thus these experiences seem inevitable if the consciousness generating regions of the CNS are altered. This fascination with DMT is ridiculous and unfounded. Just because something would be cool does not mean it is real or even a possibility.

Strongly disagree.

DMT is a magickal drug, which lets you look at the other side of reality (to a DMT reality), behind the curtain, to eternity full of aliens, art, dreams and magick. DMT lets you forecast future, heal, meet ancestors, or even God itself.

Reducing DMT to a mere chemical is dangerous, ideological reductionism. Remember, DMT is an sacrament!

Having an chemical structure means anything.
 
I would put my hand to fire that DMT is an reality just like any other.

Divination is rather simple, if you use proper technology.

Thanks Bufo, Just remember that you cannot 'reason' a person out of a position they did not 'reason' themselves into. I can't remember where
I read that, maybe in a small encyclopedia about the brain, it was sooo boring but I did remember that part...

Hahaha I like that saying a lot. I will have to remember that. Thanks
 
Why would education matter? everyone is entitled to an opinion or two, regardless of education.

The point is that one gives sufficient proof and/or arguments to support his/her opinions.

Asking about educational background sound a bit dodgy, it hints a bit to nasty as hominem future arguments.
 
Oh this thread is taking a turn for the worse!
Master of Plants, if you don't mind me saying so... if you explain why you write the way you do, then maybe the members you're currently clashing with would be more forgiving?
Maybe you're from somewhere where people speak that way, so it's just a cultural difference. Maybe you're dyslexic, or something, I don't know. If you explained that to them, it might help to diffuse things.
Although the main clash is probably that you keep starting threads without much apparent logic behind why you've started them or what the aim of the thread is. It might be more fruitful to just join in on existing threads until you get the hang of things? :)
 
Imagine a land where people say:
,,Hm.´´
Cultural difference?
Dyslexic...
What would YOU advise me to answer?
Yeah, I already noticed.

Yes, for example like how in the Caribbean they speak English, but in a different way.
Dyslexic...
Are you saying you are dyslexic, or aren't? The people you've clashed with then would then be more forgiving, as they would be if you were diffently abled in another way.
I was just trying to diffuse the situation. Peace! :)
