Don't you think there is a kind of a philosophical principle: that a community of people who have had more states of consciousness are a more qualified community to give judgments on reality? Not to say that their judgment is right and accurate, but just to say that, for example, the community of Hindu mystics and shamans. That community is better qualified, because they have experienced a wider variety of states of consciousness than the community of materialists, who may have not had those experiences.

Physiology of the Spiritual (Quick Guide)
-The pleasurable âchillsâ or âgoosebumpsâ (aka frisson) experienced when listening to music, watching movies, viewing art, dancing etc. are the beginning of the sensation of what is called the âsoulâ in western civilization. Generally, this begins on the arms, back, or neck when a person feels profound emotions. It is most likely you have already experienced it to some degree.
-If you pursue this sensation within yourself by attempting to feel it as much as possible (all day, every day if you are able), it builds in strength significantly over time to the point where it becomes a full body sensation with the pinnacle being at the crown of the skull. It is sustainable with practice. You must become your own experiment as each individualâs set of beliefs and emotional reactions are unique.
-It is the sensation needed to enter higher states of consciousness known as the Jhanas as well as to self-induce out of body experiences from a meditative state (visualization techniques are also required for OBEs).
-One fundamental key to the sensation is to achieve states of genuine, positive emotions such as love, gratitude, inspiration, courage, joy, unity etc. (Therefore, anything that enables you to feel these emotions will work. Conversely, anything that prevents these, will prevent your sensation.) Control of thought is the key.
-You will be required to be honest with yourself. This cannot be emphasized enough. Simply saying you feel love or gratitude, does not mean that you actually feel those emotions. This is why stimuli is extremely helpful such as music, movies, etc. to provoke those emotions in a genuine and real sense.
-Be patient and be understanding of yourself if you think you are struggling. Trust your feelings and intuitions. This is a progression and it will take some time to strengthen as your brain reforms its pathways via neuroplasticity. (Weeks to many months depending on commitment.) Love yourself unconditionally for the greatest success.
-Your sensation will inevitably grow in strength with persistence and you will begin to feel it more easily to a broader range of stimuli. You will eventually realize it is not the stimuli at all, but only your emotional state and control of your mind/thoughts that matter.
-It is this same sensation that monks attempt to achieve during meditation and chanting. (The chants or mantras are to create vibrations in the chest which can stimulate the sensation as well as to keep oneâs focus single pointed)
-It is the same sensation that âspirit runnersâ or indigenous long-distance runners attempt to achieve. (Also called ârunnerâs highâ in the west.)
-The current scientific term for the sensation is âFrissonâ and it remains relatively unexplained in the public sector being reduced simply to a release of endorphins.
-Other names include: Chakra Energy, Kundalini Energy, Prana, Mana, Qi, Chi, Holy Spirit, life force, vibration among others depending on your cultural lens.

Thank you so much for your work. The theory of Morphic Resonance has explained to me how and why magick works. You will be recognised as a genius inn the future. I am having loads of fun staring at the back of people's heads and timing how long it takes for them to react.

there is no judgement of reality, only you reject it or embrace it

Relationships between individuals that are not within any group dynamics -- even if some of them are supposedly more enlightened than others, regarding certain existential aspects -- tend to be more even/ balanced, less disruptive power dynamics than those between groups and those between groups and individuals.

A psychedelic point of view means - a point of view which honours consciousness. Consciousness is seen to as the value to be maximised. Thats what we want. We want more consciousness, better integration , better information, better models.
We donât want to petrify ourselves l, or commit ourselves to a model that is then found to be obsolete and inadequate. So what chiefly constitutes the psychedelic point of view is its open ended and provisional nature. As opposed to every other ideology or point of view thats running around. The psychedelic point of view is a kind of cultural relativism; what weâre trying to do is get a grip on who and where we are in the cosmos, from the point of view, not that of the American consumerist citizen.
something else, something larger, deeper, broader, more touched by the cosmic, the divine, of destiny
The general assumption has been that Mans (notice the gender slant) mind is sufficient for the cognition of the cosmos
Lets not forget that as recently in all of our history as 1830 people believe eived the Earth was only 4000 years old
As recently as 1480 the New World was unsuspected to exist, or at least it was suspected by a few wild eyed map makers and mad sailors, but conventional knowledge held that from the Eurasian land mass in connection with Africa, was the end of world and that was it.
So when we look back into our recent past we discover tremendous epistemic naĂŻvetĂŠ; that means people didnât know what was going on..they werenât even close!
And yet we asked to believe that somewhere after Darwin and before now, it was all figured out.
And now we view the universe from a lofty pinnacle of integrated understanding; now physics explains biology, biology explains culture, culture explains sociology so forth and so on.
Well this is really whistling past the graveyard, because meanwhile the visible consequences of this understanding are spreading chaos, dissolution of values, an inability to control technology, an inability to set reasonable political goals, instead this deep insight into how everything works has left everything a mess!
The thing to take from all of this is the notion not that reality is stranger than we suppose, but that reality is stranger than we CAN suppose
Meaning no model will ever work. Everything is provisional. It will always recede ahead of any epistemic program to describe, enclose, control or explain it
Terence McKenna in 1989

Thank you Rupert. I find myself agreeing with your philosophies in general, and I look forward to hearing your perspectives. Your subject matters are highly intriguing.
As to the nature of reality, this begs clarification as to what exactly reality might be. We can see the world as a fairly large stage with many plays or themes across many regions throughout time.
Is there any instance in which the entirety of the world was enacting a single play or theme across the realm?
I feel that reality is highly relative and subjective to the individual or group, and therefore any attempt to judge or enforce a set reality by authority is doomed to be overthrown by the nature of freewill.
In my life I have concluded that the only commonality to reality is the stage itself. Thank you Sir.

Good Government requires checks and balances. Religions have been responsible for way too many crimes against humanity. đ on mystics/religions running societies.

Clergy are not necessarily mystics.
Most members are not real mystics.

If not all the shit that has happened had happened, we probably would not be sitting here in front of a screen and could have shared our experiences either ...

Psalm 146 came to mind as I was raised as a Catholic. I think this is considered a principle of all the Abrahamic religions.
In my experience it's been proven correct many times too many!𤣠I'll stick to it.

There are many different realities

Are priest closer to God? That is a direct interpersonal relation, anyone telling you otherwise is a charlatan and if you blind believe, you are the fool.

Mystics have an holistic vision of reality. So they are closer to truth.
