Not answers, but a perspective of Terence McKenna and his idea of what DMT is about. He says we are currently living a chemistry of life, so why wouldn't there be a chemistry of death?
We are all one. Meaning, individuality is the vice. We all come from the same stuff, and when we pass, we unite with all the same stuff. This is another angle into life after death I suppose
A combined 46 minutes of a radio monologue without video. Is there a transcript so I can read it in about 4.6 minutes?
You can draw a few moral parallels between the teachings of Jesus and Buddhism. Otherwise the actual tenets are radically different and incompatible.
Says you... But I don't align myself with just one theology. Why is that so important? Would that mean all atheist cannot be agnostic as well? See evolution of philosophy and ideology is good. Labeling will only lead to racism and discrimination.
Whether it's semantically a religion or not is irrelevant. Traditional Buddhism is atheistic and has incompatible tenets than anything resembling traditional Christianity.
No it doesn't hold prejudice for any religion to adopt its philosophy. Which I clearly said I have. U are trying to use semantics to argue how I can't.
You can adopt whatever you want. I was disputing MarAzuls statement that the traditional principals don't differ much.
Well I don't have any idea what you base your difference with my statement on. There is not "Bible" to explain Buddhism, just the writings of monks. But from what I have read, the teachings of Buddha are very similar to the teachings of Jesus. Now I really don't expect many Christian ministers to agree with me, most that I know of in the past would strongly disagree. But it is still my view. I take it, you would agree with the Christians, and I accept that you have thoughtfully formed your opinion. I have another.
I think the key to really understanding DMT is through quantum physics' relation to consciousness. Amd I don't know if we ever will. Einstein spent his final years trying to debunk/understand quantum mechanics and made no progress.
Many in the psychonauts community use the term "we are one". Meaning, I am you, you are me, we are the universe all the same. What does that mean?! Because we are all connected, interdimension travel is as easy as moving your hand.
