I have no desire to try something that may just end muddying the picture even more. More than what ? Everyday waking reality?

Greevance, I don't think anyone here is disagreeing with you so far.

Trying to talk about the DMT experience is like trying to talk about a dream, ultimately ineffable. Like I said earlier, it's impossible to accurately describe, but it can be life changing and utterly beyond belief. I imagine a UFO sighting or encounter is something you could draw a vague...

Those who purport to control their OBEs claim that we should avoid drugs like DMT and psychedelics -- that there is potential for the experience to mess with us. I don't know about OBEs too much specifically, but I don't really agree with this philosophy. You hear that a lot from orthodox...

We don't even know where consciousness resides; how can we purport to understand the effects that psychedelics have on our consciousnesses? Good point. But psychedelics are the best tools we have .

I'm hearing a lot of noise here. Salvia isn't some spiritual passport to enlightenment....it's a recreational drug available to anyone with the will and the money. No, It's not just a recreational drug , it's got much potential to be used as a tool for spiritual insight and development, after...

The final group of actors in all this were the mass audience of self-described “sceptics”. With few exceptions (in fact, none of whom I am aware), members of this group have lost their moral bearings sufficiently that they were not worried at all by the crime of dishonesty involved in the...

I haven't heard the episode yet, but having experienced DMT several times myself, I'm glad to see someone introducing this topic into the paranormal/ufo discussion. It's impossible to relate the experience to anyone who doesn't know it, but it's absolutely vital to consider when talking about...

Plant life, please explain the difference between weather and climate. I know the difference but i would like to hear your explanation. Don't play stupid, you're not talking to a kid. Since we both know it, i don't need to recite it for you. Instead , read this if you care to. It's even...

The Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works hearing entitled, "Global Warming Impacts, Including Public Health, in the United States." has been cancelled because of the over 100 year record breaking snow storm in D.C. Bad evidence there. That's the kind of thing only republican...

pixelsmith, What real environmental crisis? I"ll ask you the same thing. "Now can we get back to the original environmental movement and work together addressing REAL issues?"

First off let me just say that when you frame your questions in a loaded way as to make assumptions about me like that I "don't knwo what I'm talking about" or that I'm into gurus or other insulting things like that, it doesn't lead to a reasonable discussion it just pisses everyone off. Get it...

Schuyler, Then we need to separate this issue form the real environmental crises that are happening. Because I can see corporations and other exploiters spinning this as "proof" that their other actions aren't damaging the world..and the gullible public believing it. That would be dangerous.

No, no....I'm not in a camp. It's not black and white. I'm not locked in a belief system. I'm always open to whatever has good evidence behind it . I see dirty tricks coming from all sides of this issue. But I am a humanist and believe in being responsible, so I'll leave it at that. Plant Life!

Here we go again. Just because someone does not think that we are artificially heating the planet, we are automatically against pollution controls for all other reasons. Geezus, it never ends. No it doesn't because anyone can find articles to back up their opinion on this subject. No one can...

Uhhh....The Spectator? No thanks. I was browsing around their site and also found articles in defense of Tony Blair and his participation in the Iraq war fiasco, how insidious environmentalists are, how people with drug convictions should be in jail, pro Israel articles, and other short...

I am interested in exposing the fact that probably none of the people talking about McKenna here has the slightest idea what they're talking about. What a fucking assumption, whoa. So that's your agenda? You're just starting shit with people, great way to waste time I guess. Sounds more like...

Nice loaded question there ... Anyway, No, I don't think his 2012 theories are quite accurate, although his ideas about that were not the same as these new age doomsday fables that the media is churning out these days. The underlying theory that there is an attractor that is drawing time toward...

Marginal? I couldn't agree less. I'd easily say he was one of the most articulate and compelling speakers and thinkers of the 20th century. Marginal has no place in his description. Are you even familiar with him? Do you understand his ideas?

Chet seemed like an honest character. But he mentioned the group The Nine, and my mental alarm went off. The Nine was a CIA psychological operations group that Andrija Puharich was involved with among others. Very dubious to use them as evidence of a person's credulity from what I know about...
