    i see it as,

    to get the full meaning you must travel through all categories of existence.

    blend them all in into one.

    You can only know one existence at a time.

    I also disagree. Seeing more than one at once was a mindfuck, but worthwhile.
    And what shall we toast?

    so do you believe a human mind can enter that same non-existence/different existence without the use of salvia or any other powerful psychedelics?

    Well, from what I hear, our body NATURALLY produces DMT. Besides that aspect of it, lucid dreams are a similar state IMO, though skewing towards unreality.

    Hard to describe really. Crushed the ego and my entire mentality. Put me up on some multidimensional type understanding. Basically swallowed up everything and reconstructed it in the shape of a spiral moving through nonchronological time.

    You heard of carlos castaneda?
    Just read the wiki on him. Any recommended works by him?

    I never got round to getting castaneda's books, someone just told me about them but his books are on amazon, I think the most popular is - The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge.

    You read his stuff LHX?
