It's true, dogma is universal, all- pervasive. We are so immersed unit that we fail to see it. A great example is our language- just ask Orwell! What words we have or don't have help define what we are able to think and perceive. I've always been impressed by how thoroughly our language avoids the realities of transcendence and inner realization- so thoroughly that we can barely talk about these subjects without sounding like wacked-out mystics. There is a huge aspect of our larger reality that language steers around almost completely. That's why it's so crucial that we have forums like this where we can collectively work out an appropriate lexicon by which to comprehend and share our experiences.

As a visual artist I am particularly interested in what we can accomplish via visual language. It's striking how meaning-rich tge visuals of the DMT experience are- when I go into these spaces, it's like everything I see is tagged with a specific linguistic intent. As many of you are no doubt aware, this stuff is fiendishly difficult to bring back verbatim and express as art- at this stage, even though there is some great visionary art out there which expresses many aspects of the experience, I think that as a whole, the journey toward a full graphic fluency of the DMT language is still in its infancy.

Terence McKenna once proposed that visionary artists get together once a year to have a conference where the latest breakthroughs in visual linguistics could be shared, discussed, re-synthesized. Such a conference us unlikely to happen for practical reasons, but much of the same intent could be realized at forums like this.
