    Psychedelics open you to the possibility that everything you know is wrong. That must be the scariest thought for someone like Saphiro!

      I have this strong feeling that these type of drugs are used by billionaires/geniuses (micro dosing) and are being developed further by the government into a super drug. There is no denying the profoundness of how it unlocks your brain and lets neurotransmitters connect to other parts of your brain. The things you see and experience feel like you have entered the next dimension through your consciousness. No wonder most people cant explain their experiences on high doses of psychedelics, the shapes and beings feel like nothing from this reality.
      i cant help but feel that the government wants to make the populous dumb by making addictive substances like booze and cigarettes legal but keep psychedelics out of the hands of the public. I used to think alex jones was crazy until i experienced how psychedelics show its more than just a drug, its the/A reason why we evolved and have complex ideas. Look at ancient civilisations like the myans or Egyptians,there are heavy connections to the "third eye". even early christian art has references to mushrooms.

And he didn't stop doing the research because he got frustrated with the results he was getting. He finished his DMT research with no problems. He then tried to do a Psilocybin study, and he couldn't get the conditions he wanted approved. He wanted them to take mushrooms outside of a clinical setting which was more conducive to a good trip, but they wouldn't let him.

    Had to pitch in on this, so long story short I have c-ptsd or "complex trauma" from a reasonability shitty child hood. I experienced both a horrific car crash at 3, violent abuse at 6 through to 12 and emotional abuse. None of this was picked up on and I was given Ritalin as a child and told I had ADHD. Not only that but I was sent to school with some very violent and disturbed other children. When I was 20 (am now 23) I began heavy use of both DMT and LSD to figure out why I was struggling so much as an adult (anger, depression, self loathing) While I do think there are a dangers to doing what I did, (It wouldn't have works as well without my wonderful girlfriend who guided me and helped me make sense of my story) it has changed my life, I understand my story and have healed more than I thought possible. I am towards the end of my path now with regards to healing and moving on. DMT in particular never ever did me wrong, I never got into trouble with DMT, LSD could send you down strange paths and you could get lost. DMT I all ways felt there was the "Other" and they were guiding me. I only ever felt love, even when I was being told off it was done with love, I experienced my own birth, was held in the arms of a goddess, realised that I am not my body or my thoughts and I am simply awareness. I learnt the nature of ego and that everyone suffers and love can heal all. I even had DMT once show me that I never in life felt safe, It did this by placing me in what I can only discribe and "the blanket dimension", a place of pure safety. After that I learned to self sooth and take myself back to this place and try and change my environment to be more of a self welcoming place. So to summerise, I think DMT should be tried by anyone who is interested. I have regularly heard people say "I don't think I'm ready, I want to be more together" And thats fine, but I would say that my experience DMT is a teacher, a parent and will not lead you astray. I have had better experiences the more lost I've been because I've asked for help. My path of healing began with DMT. I know this is a long comment but it needs to be. Don't be scared of DMT but always show it respect. Also, surrender is key. Thank you for for reading, I hope today finds you well.

    Peterson’s take here is spot on. A deep respect for these substances needs to exist, and I think most that have a history of use have that ingrained in them through their experiences. Good experiences and bad experiences have profound effect. They are tools, and they’re not for everyone. I once believed it’s something everyone should experience in their life but I’m now actually inclined to think that most people aren’t prepared to poke the beast. Peterson’s mention of a possibility for PTSD is not hyperbole.

    I have done psychedelics all my adult life and am considered a psychonaut by my friends and the psychedelic community. I have done pretty much every major hallucinogen in the book including a lot of rare indigenous ones that are not commonly found. I know psychedelics the hallucinations are beautiful and all inspiring and sometimes extremely dark but I have this feeling that they are a lot of times generated by my own mind but with high doses and DMT it's another story. These entities that I have met and seen are real. They are alive but in a completely different dimension and State, one which is almost indescribable and unimaginable. When you take a high dose you leave this dimension by escaping the confines of your material body and your soul enters into another dimension, aka the spirit realm. What I'm about to say it's going to make a lot of people laugh and a lot of people call me an absolute moron but I've got to share this. I believe that we are tapping in to the lower realms that lie beneath our dimension, I do not believe that we are tapping into the upper dimensions. I have seeing Buddha, Kali, Aztec gods and other giant humanoid entities but never Jesus or anything related to Christianity.

    I came across a plant known as Salvia Divinorum (also known as sage of the seer's, the diviners sage, ska maría pastora, yerba de la pastora "Through the eyes of the Shepherdess") The Mazatecan people believe they are able to see the Mother of Christ when they use it, I didn't know about this when I first used this plant. I immediately saw an apparition with the outline of a shrouded woman who had other figures with her, as though she was a teacher of some kind. She was explaining to them that I had made a mistake and did not intend to see them or for them to see me. She asked if I remembered her... which I did, but I didn't know where from. She hinted... "Before this" as in life. I asked her where she was and she responded that it is best I think of it as "in between". I also asked how she was able to see me and she said it was the same as how we observe life in the ocean and that I simply could not grasp the idea of her scale in relation to size or space as we perceive it. She had a motherly presence but I would not describe her as the Mother of Christ. She explained that our species was in it's infancy and our understanding of even what we are is so limited that the truth of our situation doesn't even warrant explanation. I asked what happens when this ends, I couldn't comprehend the word life as it seemed as though it was simply a temporary state, this female presence said I will have to wait and see, that we all will go through the same process. I used the plant many times and met this entity about 4-5 times, I asked why I kept going to the same place where she was and she said that it was because I had joined her nursery. I felt like I was a child and thought that was what she was referencing by "nursery", at that point she made my veins turn into the vines of a plant and I was pulled into the earth while being enveloped by leaves and vines. She had a divine awareness but also gave the feeling of a Medusa-type entity or the spirit of a witch who considered my use of the plant outside of the correct ritual to be an insult to her and held me in contempt.

    I have done taken every drug on earth. And I suffer with autism and bipolar. I was on meds for my bipolar and they took away my ability to feel emotions. To laugh to cry to feel human. I became a drone. From being manic and writing music to being on a level where my experience was worse than the depression. So for awhile yeah I got used to not being up and down. But then I missed me! So I took a large dose of LSD to reset my brain. I knew that taking one tab might give me colours I wanted to purge this obnoxious pharmaceutical out of my brain! So I took 5 tabs. Jesus Mohamed buddha Christ! It was so profound I had my father lay on the sofa across from me. I cried for the first time in over 2 years. I was sick. The sick was black! The love that embraced me was pink purple. I cried so fucking hard. Then then started to laugh I felt new I was me again! And the bipolar has gone! I can tap into my emotions naturally now. I don't need to be manic to get shit done! Or depressed to find write heart felt poetry! So I would say for me if you want to change in a big way go big! Yes it was not a happy trip. That's the fucking point! Change takes courage and it fun fucking hurts. Only when we suffer we grow.

He looks at the positives of it, and you look at the negatives of it. It’s the people that use it to abuse others, and people that abuse it themselves (as anything can be abused) that make them a negative. There is no such things as sheep.

    The fact that you arrived at the point in your life your willing to take the plunge with psychedelics. inspite of all the risks real and imagined propaganda and facts. So most have earned the right to experience said wisdom. What you do with your experience and how you chose to let them affect you is what reflects on what's inside of you. Some people have had some experiences in their life that if not addressed will lead them to a dark and conflicting place of fear and monsters. Others find piece love and enlightenment. Those things are all ready there inside of us. The psychedelics allow us to strip away outside influences and enter a place of self examination thats impossible to achieve with out the drugs or exteam conditions such as fasting and meditation for days on end. The fact that most of us come away with the overwhelming feeling of a wholeness with all things and how our self importance means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things is no accident. Only those who have the courage to look with in cand find amd understand this truth. So as I started off saying any who dare have earned the wisdom.

      Stellar Cult - Star Worshippers

      Before Religion we had Cults. One called Solar Cult - Who worshipped the Sun.. One was the Lunar cult - Worship of the Moon.. Saturnalian - Worship of Saturn Cult. These were the major cults in time.. These formed up to create Judaism... From Judaism came the old testament and Christianity - US live under the old Judaic Law..

      World Wide.

    Mr Ben Shapiro, by trying to reach spirituality through reason only, means only to understand it.
    Being spiritual it means being practical also. All of the religions have spiritual "practices".
    Nonetheless I am not implying you are not a practical man, on that matter.
    Personally, I see it as playing any sport, you can be a commentator and analyzer, but in order to experience it you have to get dressed and start playing it. Otherwise you will "experience" only the build up of own imagination created by the perspectives of others who described it to you.
    By practicing (persistence x time) a certain state, in which the frontal cortex "disconnects" and while being conscious a state of so-called transcendence, is induced. Each person who is accessing it, has a different experience. Just as the waves of the ocean are all water - but look and feel different - each person will understand and perceive the experience differently. But the person practicing, consciously took (or tried to take) a dive in the ocean.
    I believe that in our awaken (not sleeping / dreaming) state, we are on the surf board, enjoying it or paddling or whatever we do and by night we reach a form of meditation called dreaming. That state can also be accessed and deepened through DMT and other natural psychoactive substances.
    Also I truly recommend chanting and silent or mantra meditation to everyone :).
