Is it true that our brain is like a radio tuner that can be programmed to deep space?

I am the universe experiencing itself.

 

This. I have only had the opportunity 3 times and I am glad to say I took every one of them. Haven't seen it in a couple years now, but I would definitely do it again if it came around.

Psychedelics are something I believe everyone should try at least once. Even if it's just a simple mild shroom trip it can still be a pretty powerful experience.

 

You sound like some dude that spits out things he hears from others. This is complete B/S and really depends solely on what you are taking. I'll give you an example:

Shrooms - Highly dependent on the persons inner workings. Alot of people take them, aren't prepared and freak out because they fight against the shrooms instead of accepting defeat and allowing the shrooms to direct their journey. When you fight against it, your trip will probably be terrifying and terrible.

Salvia - Not so much dependent on your inner workings. You can be Buddha and have an absolutely awful trip with clowns pointing and laughing at you- or it can be fabulous, though most trips are bad.

DMT - Much like dreams (you don't usually get a choice into whether you have nightmares or not) is also something you don't have much control over. If you smoke it, your experience will probably be much more pleasurable IF you don't freak out and even if its bad its not TOO bad because it's so short. If you ingest it, it is a totally different game however.. Lasts hours, you will see some scary things no-matter what but it's worthwhile in the end and teaches you alot not only about yourself but life and the world. Some Shamans brew of Ayahuasca almost all the time gives everyone a slightly similar experience (though still radically different), most always include a dragon in some form but the others things you see vary by your inner workings such as spiders, UFO's, Jaguars and other scary things/beings. You will be driven to your brinks edge and puke, I've never known someone not.. just as much as you will be communicated with by something that seems real but could just be your crazy figmentation.

Whats cool is just as each person is different, with their own set of personality, interests, fears-- much like a fingerprint that in unique to an individual~~ it seems everyone who does it comes out with some unique piece of knowledge which is amazing to share with others.
