Erik Davis on Nature and Imagination 7

[mattydigs]

Here is how it is .. this isn't "My trip" this is the trip. As Bill Hicks put it "Today a young man realized that all matter is just energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves."

BAM. short and sweet. Everthything is everything. On the quantum levels EVERYTHING is all the same energy and its all in connected.

@mattydigs "Everything is everything", looks like you've got it all figured out. 5 short minutes of smoking DMT, or perhaps several hours on LSD and now you have all the answers. I don't know what to say, I'm almost as ecstatic as you are. Tell us your name so we can have the banners ready for the parade where we welcome our savior. Actually I would suggest slowing down and listening a liiiiiittle more carefully...

"Science + Spirituality is the truth", kind of like what Erik is talking about

@Guard385 Why so sarcastic about everything? I'm just saying that this guy is somewhat misguided in his beliefs. Also.. who said anything about smoking dmt? I never did (and never have) and the lsd thing was a quote but if you focus on the lsd part of it you're missing the point. I haven't watched the video in a while but I will soon and come back more specifically about what irked me (if i'm still irked) .

@mattydigs I apologize for being so sarcastic, I replied too quickly without thinking more carefully about the finer details and possibile understandings contained within the lines. I think I found myself apprehensive to such simply worded messages about reality and the universe because I gave so much credence to them at one point only to grow through painful experiences that at the time seemed to push me to accept the fact that life is mostly suffering and living a spiritual life is by no means

[Guard385]

easy. I love Bill Hicks, he has inspired me significantly and I agree with such ideas. Honestly my response had a lot to do with the way Erik asked such unbridled questions about the fundamental principles of even the psychedelic community. I still find myself continuing to work through my own set of karma and individual challenges, at times life can seem so overwhelming that talk of interconnectedness isn't enough to change ones feelings, but it may just be a sign of perceived separation.

[mattydigs]

Doesn't this guy realize that we all create our own reality (Literally)?That EVERYTHING is connected to everything else? That we do share a collective unconscious? What about the rush of DMT to the brain when we die and how 15 minutes of brain death can seem like several lifetimes? This guy seems like he's just wasting my time.He's got some things right but i think it's mostly BS based on his own mind-wankery.For a wanna-be guru I bet I could do a lot better.Science + Spirituality is the truth

Likewise, the Earth Liberation Front. They see danger and are acting. Do you think they care some machine brained ecocidal moron thinks them 'woo woo'? As he continues his GM horror or what ever he's up to?

When things are going extinct, and being poisoned, and radiated for millions of toxic years/forever, and people are being exploited and messed with like the animals are being isn't it TIME FOR activism? What moves YOU?

[zezt]

So how do we deal with this? IF you pronounce activism about this as 'freaky UN Green shit' then maybe you dont appreciate the URGENCY of the situation.

For example. What about the torture and murder of millions of animals, called 'animal vivisection'? Do you think we should compromise with that? have you asked the animals what THEY feel about it.

[zezt]

yeah but Erik in conclusion you big up yourself here. because you call what YOUR into 'technognosis' which embraces the technological along with your 'Imagination'. So you are just really promoting your own trip.

What I feel though is that civilization is march

fast on a path to utter self destruction which is dragging ALL people, of ALL different worldviews, and animals and all species into extinction
