If you take a chemical substance that affects your brain, it's a perfectly reasonable assumption that your experiences after that are products of your brain. We know that happens. It's that simple.
Nobody said it wasn't a reasonable assumption, Ann. Every single experience you're having is the product of your brain. But no, it's not that simple, given that we can't understand consciousness. But that's a conversation for a different crowd.
As I said, DMT is produced endogenously in our bodies. There is massive overlap between DMT experiences and alleged abduction experiences. I said I think they could be connected. Neither of these experiences require the entities being externally real. You then went on to invent several claims I did not make, rudely demanding I provide proof for them.
What is really off-the-wall strange is the notion that a person under the influence is interacting with genuine external entities, who just happen to come along after his brain has been affected, and that those entities are unseen by those who are sober. THAT is the extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence, and anecdotes, no matter how numerous, do not provide that. All your illustrations of similar shapes don't do it, as we already know that migraines have the same type of visual manifestation as each other.
For the 40th time, I have never said there is proof of any of this, much less that I have it. I never said these are genuine external entities. We don't know. I introduced these ideas specifically stating as much, only relaying what people experience in their trips. I didn't realize I was going to have to convince a bunch of
[people] DMT is not like a migraine headache or form constants or something. No, they don't have remotely close to the same visual manifestation as migraines, ffs. You think neuroscientists are studying this because it produces the visual phenomena of a damn migraine?
"illustrations of similar shapes"
Illustrations? Lady, they are not "illustrations" or shapes you see in your visual field, ffs. YOU ARE IN A DIFFERENT PLACE ENTIRELY, EXPERIENCING IT WITH THE SAME QUALIA OF EVERYDAY LIFE. Do you remember the whole abduction similarity? Yes, like that.
"All those posts show us is "this is the kind of thing you see on a DMT trip"."
Gee, good job, Ann. You're finally starting to get it! These are indeed the things
people experience on a DMT trip!
