Pink Mosque In Iran

[emptymind]

Anyone ever seen this? I was looking at this 'real pictures of Iran and Iranians' and couldnt believe how beautiful some of the landscapes and buildings were, so started looking up more of them, and found this 'Pink Mosque.' I dont know how to embed pictures, but have a look at the links, some parts of it look very similar to parts of the dmt experience for me.

yes I have seen it and these people have seen what we have seen.

It is no coincidence that rue is widely used there..does anyone really believe after seeing this stuff that they did not use mushrooms or some kind of iranian acacia?

I know that the fatimya sufi order uses some iranian acacia in their brews with rue..the head shaikh of the order, Wahid also talks in an interview about being given some brew durring his training by an elder shaikh..and that this brew tasted nothing like ayahuasca but was definatly some kind of tryptamine and that he still has no idea what it was..

All I can say is...they have fantastic recollection! :thumb_up:

This is beautiful beyond my wildest dreams!
I too have seen this type of "structure" of light waves in a kind of waiting room. I never get to see it this long to really study anything SO thank youfor this!

I wonder why humanity ever stopped building with passion and "art" like this? Built in 1888, one would guess with our advances that our current buildings/cities/living spaces would be more amazing but I find this is not the case.

Yeah, I agree with Jamie's assessment. There's another factor too- Muslims are effectively barred from making figurative art, so all of their creative efforts have gone toward explorations of the abstract. Combine that with their deep mathematical traditions, and this is what you get. But the initial vision had to come from somewhere!

This is the Mosque Of The Shah, also in Iran:

It is usually at the beginning of the experience for me as well. It usually starts as a bright light, that extends into a few directions making a simple shape like a square, which then starts to unfold itself in all directions getting more and more complex until you have something like these pictures, then it usually smooths out a bit and forms whatever place I end up in.

I had the privilege of visiting Iran some years ago, including a couple of days in Shiraz, and I visited this mosque.Really really impressive.Thanks for posting the pics, emptymind-it certainly brings back some fine memories.

These threads have come up a few times. I love them! So beautiful these mosques.

And yes, I have to agree with Jamie and others, it's beyond OBVIOUS that these people are some point in time witnessed what we are seeing.

The question is. Why did they think so much of it to make a religion while so many here talk as though there is nothing that can be learned from these experiences! Which BTW just makes me laugh.

I've seen it before, but some of the shots are new. Definitely a beautiful building. Shame that I can never go see it.
