Awesome addition to the diagram Rev! I love it. (Thanks button isn't functioning properly for me)

Great thoughts swirling around in here

Through conditioning the brain is probably the most self-entitled filter we have...yet when entheogen's enter it becomes much more humble, and dynamic. Our more suppressed filters (sight, touch, smell, taste, hearing) are much more naturally humble, and do not assert themselves to the function of questioning. Which is never a bad thing, but the vital difference is that the other sense's awareness is intuitive.

Seth put it beautifully through Jane in one recorded session:

"Sometimes you try to be too practical. You have lovely eyes. Those eyes do not try to be practical. They see out of the joy of their being. They do not hustle themselves. The right eye does not say 'Is what I am seeing right?' and the left eye does not say 'Is what I am seeing wrong?'...And yet there is no disagreement. So there is no disagreement between your official reality and those unofficial realities that sometimes sneak through."


Entheogens reveal us the genuine sensitivity in all our senses, especially the organ called "the brain".
