Prompt: Psychedelics have a rich history spanning thousands of years, offering transformative experiences. Though research is still in its early stages, it's undeniably proven that psychedelics can produce profound insights and improve mental well-being when used correctly.
We believe it's time for a thoughtful initiative by and for the community, one that goes beyond clinical healthcare. It's about recognizing the millions of people exploring consciousness safely at home, and who see plant medicine ceremonies as a way to become better members of our interconnected world.
Prompt: Psychedelics also raise profound questions about the nature of consciousness and mystical experience. People often describe their psychedelic experiences as "more real" than everyday life. Is this just an illusion, or do these experiences tap into some deeper reality?
Prompt: remove text from this image and replace with a portal. Dualism — (a philosophical position that the mind and body are separable). Paranormal/Spirituality (beliefs including the existence of telepathy, disembodied spirits and existence of self after death, communication with the dead, reincarnation and whether some people can predict the future or move objects with their mind). Nonmammal Consciousness (whether insects, trees and rocks are capable of having a conscious experience). Mammal Consciousness (nonmammal and mammal consciousness and whether these are “capable of having conscious experience”). Superstition (beliefs that breaking mirrors, the number 13 and black cats bring bad luck, etc). even one dose can result in lasting belief changes about the supernatural or non-physical world. Specifically, the findings revealed significant increases in beliefs related to mind-body dualism, paranormal or spiritual phenomena, and consciousness.
Prompt: “World expansion” denotes alterations in the scope and quality of whatever the subject perceives as being objective and distinct from themselves. Moreover, it may concern a broadened epistemic perspective with respect to perceptions that reportedly revise or expand knowledge of the world. In psychedelic experiences, world expansion first concerns an extraordinary intensification of the senses along with a great increase of detail and complexity in perceived phenomena across the sensory domains:
Prompt: “DMT has shown me the reality that there is an infinite variation on reality. There is a real possibility of adjacent dimensions. It may not be so simple as there are alien planets with their own societies. This is too proximal. It’s not like some kind of drug. It’s more like an experience of a new technology than a drug. You can choose to attend to this or not. It will continue to progress without you paying attention. You return not to where you left off, but to where things have gone since you left. It’s not a hallucination, but an observation. When I’m there, I’m not intoxicated. I’m lucid and sober:”
Prompt: Weturnnowtothe nature of the psychedelic state of consciousness, focusing on two of the most commonly used serotonergic hallucinogens: lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin (found in ‘magic mushrooms’). Although there are differences between the states of consciousness associated with the ingestion of these two substances, and there area range ofother drugs known to induce altered states of consciousness, we will ignore these points here and will use ‘psychedelic state’ as a general term to refer to the paradigmatic states of consciousness associated with the consumptionofpsilocybin and LSD. In this theoretical analysis, we will concentrate on reported subjective changes to an individual’s conscious experience (as measured by questionnaires), and psychophysical measures of basic perceptual and cognitive functioning. We will not conside
Prompt: “What we have seen with DMT is that activity in highly evolved areas and systems of the brain that encode especially high-level models becomes highly dysregulated under the drug, and this relates to the intense drug ‘trip’,” said Dr. Chris Timmerman, first author of the study. Some previous studies on psychedelics have also reported that hallucinogens strengthen brain connectivity and refer to it as “ increased global functional connectivity.” However, this is the first study to highlight that parts associated with high-level human-specific functions are the ones that undergo maximum change under the influence of DMT.
Prompt: N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is an endogenous serotonergic psychedelic capable of producing radical shifts in conscious experience. Increasing trends in its use, as well as new trials administering DMT to patients, indicate the growing importance of a thorough elucidation of the qualitative content, over and above structure, which the drug occasions. This is particularly in light of the hyper-real, otherworldly, and often ontologically challenging yet potentially transformative, nature of the experience, not least encounters with apparently non-self social agents. Laboratory studies have been limited by clinical setting and lacking qualitative analyses of experiential content, while online surveys’ limitations lie in retrospective design, uncontrolled use, and both of which not guaranteeing ‘breakthrough’ experiences, i.e., producing very strong psychoactive effects
Prompt: The highly psychoactive molecule N,N-dimethyltryrptamine (or simply DMT), is found naturally occurring in the brains of humans, mammals, and some other animals, as well as in a broad range of species of the plant kingdom. Although speculative, neurochemical research suggests that DMT may be made in the pineal gland, and it is hypothesised that, as much as melatonin helps activate sleep cycles, DMT activates- dreaming, and may also be implicated in other natural visionary states such as mystical experience, near-death experience (NDE), spontaneous psi and psychosis. Amazonian shamans may have made use of this chemical for its visionary properties for thousands of years, and take it as part of a decoction frequently called ayahuasca, which translates from Quechua as "vine of the spirits" or "vine of the dead". The psychedelic brew is taken because it gives rise to extraordinary mental phenomena that have shamanic and supposed healing qualities, such as synaesthesia, ostensible extra-dimensional percepts, out-of-body experiences, psi experiences and, perhaps most commonly, encounters with discarnate entities. When described by independent and seemingly naive DMT participants the entities encountered tend to vary in detail but often belong to one of a very few similar types, with similar behavioural characteristics. For instance, mischievous shapeshifting elves, praying mantis alien brain surgeons and jewel-encrusted reptilian beings, who all seem to appear with baffling predictability. This opens up a wealth of questions as to the ontology of these entities. The discussion of the phenomenology and ontology of these entities mixes research from parapsychology, ethnobotany and psychopharmacology—the fruits of science—with the foamy custard of folklore, anthropology, mythology, cultural studies and related disciplines.
Prompt: So more people are having mystical experiences, also more likely that they'll be off tobacco for a longer time, or their symptoms of PTSD have been resolved. But these medical doctors don't have training in the study of religion. They don't have the tools to understand what the relationship between the self and the mystical experience is, and what role that mystical experience is playing towards the psychiatric ends that they're interested in. And so I think a more serious study taking into account religious perspectives, either from where these plants came from, like psilocybin—who, where did where did we get psilocybin from? Where are these mushrooms growing before they entered the Western medical space?
