Rising Star
after one of my breakthroughs my head meats vaguely recalled something i had read years ago that quite nicely described the experience. after days of digging through archives i finally found it, and decided to share the particular excerpt in mind.
So, I began to realize that Lucifer is this creature who, having received an infinite revelation, believed he was God. So that's the first sin of pride. It's also a moment at which the first transsubstantiation occurs. And he becomes Satan, which is like... This was a flash, an instant. He becomes a humanoid, but he has an infinite number of physical senses, each of which are as different as eyes are from your ears. If you can imagine, we only have five or six senses, and we have trouble even distinguishing those when people are in synaesthesia. So he goes through all the seven deadly sins, right down the list, finally to wrath. He's lusting after knowledge in this way, and so he sees the universe as a non-supernatural example of cosmic art. Now, we know this is what Lovecraft was into. Because he kept talking about how he wasn't interested in religion. In a heaven state there is no religion, meaning that you're seeing the whole thing ... I mean, to worship something means that it's something beyond you, right? In other words, it's not being revealed to you.
So here was the situation. For years Lovecraft was defined as an atheist. Well, he wasn't saying anything about what he really was at all. He wasn't even an agnostic. That's exactly what the situation is, in other words, when you enter an eternal realm. You've got to know there is no religion. So it's literally a non-supernatural state of cosmic art. This is what this creature experiences, who then becomes Satan, and the moment he becomes Satan he's pulled back into eternity. He loses instantly, loses all these senses. And as it's happening he's going right down to wrath. And so what he's doing is, he's putting on a show that he isn't suffering.

so, aside from the very interesting connection with satan, i recognized the spice as a sort of extra-sensory overload. the panning back felt when moving through the physical membrane at liftoff seems so close to laffoley's eternal realm. the psychedelic experience is the mind making connections that normally aren't made, yes, we know this. however, it is commonly seen by scientists, biologists, etc... as a mixing up of sensory experience.
as for myself, i think it is more than just confusion, it is actually experiencing more senses, and the mind attempting at processing such a daunting task. this is probably where "visions" of god, and ethereal planes come from, because it isn't quite visions. it's a new sense, one which gets processed as vision, because it is what our brain is typically hardwired to understand.
so, do i believe there is something out there? yes. is it god, or a spirit realm, a place where green elves make machines? doubtful. if you put me in a room blindfolded and a stuffed animal is in the room, it exists, even if i do not see it, and there are probably things whizzing around living as they are but not percevied simply because they are not measurable by our 5 senses. so yes. it's there, and yes it is trying to interact. i think this is why people so often "hear" entities speak of how rarely they get to see us. of course they don't actually hear it, they experience a completely different sense the mind associates with hearing.
we are not travelers so much, in my opinion, as awakeners. we are pushing our feelers deeper into a world which has always existed. when one breaksthrough, he/she doesn not breakthrough to a different place, but break through their own body, and recognize a world outside of what they know.
it's awareness.
that was my ramble. thoughts?
