Very intriguing story there meatsim! Thanks for sharing. Having symbolic visions such as yours that end up representing a truth in the real world really makes you wonder about the fabric of our reality sometimes. You begin to wonder if this was something you knew about, or heard about when you were much younger and have since forgotten. Or possibly the vision itself manifested itself into a part of reality, how could you prove for example that your mother had the abortion before you had a vision about it? Or is the vision really simply random firing of neurons that grabbed your attention to such a degree that you linked the vision to something tangible in reality. Kind of like how people begin seeing the number 23 everywhere only after they learn the legend of it.
This was the movie that first actually got me really interested in DMT as well. I had read one trip report on it, and it sort of peaked my interest. Then when I watched the movie and was able to tell exactly what drug he was taking based only on the one report I had read and the visuals that were represented, I became a lot more curious about the molecule - like it was calling out to me.
I sometimes wonder if they may have actually been symbolizing DMT (or other psychedelics) with the red pill in the movie. It really makes sense if you think about it, how DMT wakes many people up to the reality that corporations of today are using humans as a resource to power their own businesses and further feed their greed. Not to mention, issues of the comic series The Invisibles were always found on set during the filming of the Matrix, and if you've ever read the series, you know about it's ties to psychedelics. Then there's the mention of mescaline right after Neo gets told to follow the white rabbit. I think I might need to watch this movie again, :lol:. I remember when it first came out, I was around 17 years old, and my first viewing of it really opened up my eyes to the world, even though I really had no clue about it's deeper inferences and symbolism back then.
What career if you don't mind me asking. I'm mainly curious because the same thing happened to me based on psychedelic experiences. I went from being in the US Navy, working on weapon control computers on a ship, to getting out of the military and pursuing a psychology degree, even though I'm in my 30s now.
Thanks for your story, glad to have you aboard. I look forward to what type of insight you can help bring to the community!
