Any hallucinatory imagry(behind closed eye lids) I ever saw after having ingested the mushrooms, generally always had a very geometric theme to it. Whether they were basic static patterns or animations with exquisite complexity.
Something about shrooms seems to me to be much more aligned with an entity as opposed to merely a drug induced state of mind in which one could 'imagine' anything. At one time I thought of shrooms and what they do as 'The little men going to work'. Ie the shrooms had presense in themselves.
What I think Transcend was alluding to was if the pattern as painted or created was a template for a synthesis of minds at a particular point in time. Or at least thats what I got from it....? Like the symbol could be much more than just a design and actually represents something far more expansive than its mere appearance.
Astro travelling is something some people claim to do at will, in their dreams perhaps. Going to worlds and places. The question is, if the places they go are real places or contructs of their own imaginations? Now I know an easy explantion some would say would be that if they imagined it, it was real and makes no difference. I do see a difference.
Like apart from the geometry, while on shrooms I once saw this massive space ship which had a vibrational hum which just permeated its presense. It was like a massive machine/geometric form which was the basis for all reality as we know it. Like the matrix a little, but I was witnessing it from outside.
Speaking of geome though, or supposed sacredness - this is something I spoke of in spiritual smoke a while back. The last time I used Mdma...I had a most peculiar encounter in which in my minds eye I was visited by Bhudist monks who were seemingly meditateing in a far off temple. But the monks...a group of them - one face stood out in the ether - and smiled at me, almost a chuckle from said monk - like an acknowledgement, as if he was saying to me just through his facial expression that he was humoured by my finally having discovered such a phenomenon and/or them. I'd even say, that among that sense of feeling, I had from him too, almost a sense of embarassment or perhaps self conciousness...as if I had caught him/them out and that they had had the ability to be any where, with any one, at any time(like voyeurs..though thats not what the purpose was).
It felt as if we had all just met on some highway in the sky. What occured to me later - despite it seeming so real, was if it was indeed possible that it had happened. I allow for both sides and besides, imagination is priceless.
And if it were possible to do as I thought I did, maybe in the case of the monks and other initiated people who study and practice meditation for years, going up to higher and higher levels(secrets), as one is allowed or skilled enough - that there is indeed certain states of mind in which it is possible to actually do what I have described, ie astro travel. And that in my case, it wasn't that I willed myself there, it was just that at that particular moment in time the frequency of my thought processes was in sync with theirs. Accidental or for a reason?
Kind of reminds me, 'symbols'...they in themselves can I believe induce certain subtle states of conciousness. Have you ever noticed that certain patterns or designs or forms or sculptures just make you gaze mesmerised? Many ancient symbols of importance were designed with that in mind, like some churchs and mosques. Just like music can alter conciousness...
The monks though....a time before....I had pondered that they were up to some deep deep stuff just with their insense(ie influence). By having designed secret recipes and mixing specific important ingredients they could effect conciousness changes all over the world. I suppose much like a good perfume can evoke certain states such as sensuousness or lust, or relaxtion but on a much more elabourate scale. And in regard to that, insense for ocassions, and various states of mind. I bet though, the recipes and even the processes and purposes behind much of that is kept under wraps since its a bit more intricate than mere aromatherapy.
Now there is imagination, but there is also energy which is all. Indeed perception can be said to be just as real as actuality and therefore it does make no difference which is which but for survival. For myself though, in allowing for the objectivity rather than running down the road shouting 'I am saved...Jesus is here'...I had this said phenomenon of entities for example, proved beyond reasonable doubt when on another ocassion which was the most profound experience ever....my beloved dog reacted to its presense too.
Only ever happened three times, and on shrooms or Mdma...like the time I could swear plants had a form of conciousness too which I could feel, and see.
You know why they say drugs are dangerous huh? mahahhaa
