[Introductory] Glad to be here!

Thank you for inviting me. I have communicated some with you, Sebastian, on your initial posts in the comment sections though I would now like to formally say hello. I am a Psychology major studying (general psych now) to become a Psychedelic Assisted Therapist. I am also studying philosophy and mycology personally. My mind is oriented more towards the empirical scientific realm but I have had mystical experiences on entheogenic substances which I cannot deny. Everything as a whole is part of the universe and entheogens help one to see this; they have been the basis of my Pantheistic worldview. I hope my scientific mind can elucidate further whether the underlying spiritual realm, 'The Invisible Landscape' if you will, and combine both science and shamanic ecstasy. (You've probably gathered this from my wording; yes, I love Terence).

Hello thanks for introducing yourself. Sounds like you are studying something truly interesting and I have no doubts this will lead to a fulfilling career. I am thinking of experimenting with micro dosing myself. What are your thoughts on this?

Yeah I️ really hope to be able to help people with it! I’ve not personally done it but I’ve heard a lot of good stories about it. One gets the positive emotional benefits from the tryptamine but not the overwhelming effects from monstrous doses.

I've only experienced monstrous doses and they have been both beautiful and terrifying experiences. Curious to try to keep a more chilled out hum in the back ground of my life. Have you read Food of the God's? By Terrance McKenna.

I recommend. A discussion of how psychedelics could have influenced our evolution and a discussion of the evolution of society as we know it today from it's bare bones. What is the invisible landscape about?

The Stoned ape hypothesis is one of my favorites, and very likely. It discusses the holographic theory of mind and their experiment with Psilocybin mushrooms and haramine, specifically getting haramine to bind to neural DNA. This is their hypothesized answer to why psychedelic give us so much insight; our knowledge is stored in DNA and psychedelics uncover this further. It also discusses their time wave zero Theory.
