ROFL – the thread moves from the sublime to the ridiculous (or perhaps it was the other way round)…:crazy_dru:crazy_dru:crazy_dru
Have to say – I’m with Mr Pratchett on the tree question – When is a forest ever empty? There is always something to hear it so it always makes a noise…..
And the sound of 1 hand clapping is “cl” (or possibly “ap”)…:wink:
i havent even bothered looking at this thread yet cause even the title is too much of a headfuck for me:crazy: :crazy:
it will do if i get asked any more questions about it :laugh_at:
Ahh, but is any rhetorical question truly rhetorical though? …(you don’t have to answer that)
But do I have to answer it?
No, you don’t. ..and what’s more, …you shouldn’t!*
*Though you can if you want to.
I created reality. There you go, I’ve solved the riddle for everyone.:weee:
I really do think you do create reality Cliffy :weee: . I reckon we’ve all got a hand in it somehow.
Can you live those moments rather this one now? They could so easily be a creation of your mind.
Now when I try to explain this in English it gets a bit tricky, but let me give it a try…
If you have a full blown ego destroying trip, there is no way to explain where you have been and what you have seen… words just aint enough.
Scientists say that they are close to discovering what the Big Bang was like and they seem to suggest that there was a whole lot of nothing before the BB took place.
I have always believed this until recently when I said it out loud and realised that the stuff that makes up the universe must have come from somewhere. Scientists also talk about “before time began”. Again this just doesn’t wash with me any more. There can’t have been a time before time, there just can’t be! It can’t have been nothing at all, and then all of a sudden there is something, it just can’t be!
Buddhists see the world in a more cyclical way and this makes perfect sense – the universe is constantly exploding and imploding again and again, moving away from itself and then comming back together again. This must go back into infinity and will go on into infinity.
No start of the universe. No end of the universe. Just a new cycle.
I used to be a die hard atheist, then I had a life changing trip.
Read up on the mayans and you will see they describe things as a cycle, I have read in depth about ancient south american civilisations and IMO they knew more than we ever will.
There shamans used phscadellics to see things, also check out the wikepedia entry on salvia AKA sage of the seers it’s belived to be a cultigen and is still used by mayans today.
Its easy enough to do but not advisable, just destroy your ego and all sence of yourself via the phsycadellic of your choice.

Very interesting lecture on ‘the primacy of consciousness’

Laughing gas always kicks the shit out of me when I’m tripping. As I come round from it I it’s always the same. I realise thatI am focusing on one area of my perception, be it vision, hearing etc… and that perception has divided itself into 4 pieces. 3 pieces are always “off” while one piece is “on” (I know that doesn’t make too much sense) and the pieces flick back and forth between the on and off position faster and faster they seem to be coming to a position where all pieces will be on but when it reaches that point my perspective changes so that I am viewing it from the other side, now the on and off are further from each other than every before and the process repeats until I come round in a state of confusion wondering what is going on.
It is generally the case the the point of vision or sound that I was focused on it minuscule although it appears all encompassing to me while I’m focused on it.
I doubt that makes any sense to anyone but me!! :laugh_at:
