Part 4 - The Religious Experience (Interview with Abraxas)

[brahud]

There is a battle....one between the rational, logical portion of the brain and the "other" part of your brain. The other part is what is artistic (color, sound, music....general low level intelligence). This "low level intelligence" is actually smarter than the "high level intelligence". It is what makes up genius. High level intelligence is slow in processing (compared to computers)....it is what computers do better than us. The "low level intelligence is what computers cannot do.....

all those dancing were considered insane by those who didnt hear the music...open your ears please, it's quite a tune

[sweetelesue]

A strange invitation to be the lamb to sit down with a lion to commune with saints remembering all my sinful days realizing my shameful ways that which seemed shameful before is redeemed and that which was sought is forgotten laid to rest utterly for a new choice for something finer

[EducatedRebellion101]

I agree with the poster below, SHUT THE FUCK UP if you are talking from NO experience. People like that are usually Christian baffoons who do NOT even have sense enough to know why their special day is called SUN-day in the first place. What a bunch of pathetic judgemental retards to even open their little uneducated mouths about what they have never done !!

[MightyBass101]

my philosophy on drugs is if you have never tried them dont be a uninformed dick. you have no idea what its like and there is no possible way to explain it with out having done it your self.

[SororThothma]

The holier-than-thou meditators wouldn't meditate if it were illegal to do so - upon pain of incarceration or death if discovered doing so. Entheogens require a courage that is almost entirely lacking in every other experiential path. It is "putting your money where your mouth is" in a real deal sort of way. No kid gloves, no zafu to rest one's mental arse on, and no second thoughts once the journey begins.

Entheogens + meditation + courage = deep spiritual realization, aka: Gnosis.

[alteringenting]

the whole point is that you always come down again from psychadelics, though you might have a grand lifechanging experience. This does absoulutely occur. But It is not about reaching states. Its about getting to know the absolute truth about everything. And living in wisdom. States has nothing to do with it. Then you are just a jojo.

[MagusSolitudo]

That's right folks! Mysticism is nothing more than drug induced garbage! These asses are dangerous fools. They will destroy their minds and bodies with drugs. These fools are typical reductionists, reducing everything to the one dimension of drugs. Abraxas, you should know better than this shit. There are no stories of Buddha dying from eating shrooms, nor is there an account of Buddha eating shrooms under the Bodhi tree. Stop listening to liars and knaves like these shit-for-brains deceivers.

[Arrada101]

Sorry you don't have to take drugs to go down a mystical experience. It's an easier path, but when you do drugs, you don't have control of your body. People chant over and over again and go to the same experience. Have you ever had a mystical experience or are you blinded by your own hatered to anything alien to you?

[PlanetarPL]

Gezzz what a ignorant. Buddha did not eat seeds of mj under the bodhi tree. You know I approve the idea that mystical exp are almost the same in both cases - but what I dont approve is telling lairs about the serene and fully contemplative life of the Buddha. He attain it and control it without any outside things ... by his own willpower - thats the case. The trips and exp may be the similar but with meditation and concentration training the whole thing is much more stable and controlabe. PEACE

[airbop]

i might of reached that dmt stuff ill send an IM of what happened because its other 500 characers long.

[purplehazygurl]

Can you get a bad trip onit, is there any side effects like other drugs?

[wahnano]

AntiChris propaganda ;)

[tossboo]

Quite the contrary!

It's much more a revitalization of deep religious feelings in relation to the dry version offered by a celibately living clerical nomenklatura.

[lightgseed]

Thank You! I will be reading your book and checking out your sites. Haven't been this turned on since "Food of the Gods" by: McKenna.

good one. scientific experiments have shown that the substance "keratin" have produced "trips" in the human brain (like when you're on LSD) which are exactly like near death experiences.

[GodForum]

I saw a report where the God effect or mind trip can be recreated electronically.

[BibleBreaker]

Really? That's interesting. Sorry, the substance is known as keatmine (not keratin--that's the substance that makes up things such as hair and the talons of birds :-)

[GodForum]

Yes. It was reproduced via electrodes to the brain in a lab. Interesting stuff.

[SeanSevenYears]

drugs are drugs..its not real..it says right in the bible to have a clear conscience a clear mine not to alter the mind with alcohol or drugs..we will never know the drug vs non drug god experiences are the same..chances are they are not 100 percent the same..we need plants to live..we do not need drugs to live so to think plants feed us so they should give us conscieness is immature..we already were born with a conscience..amen

[godfather89]

But what if these drugs really do take away from your perception and actually allow you to see the universe. Afterall we percieve what the Brain see's not see what the eyes see.

[crazycam28]

1.) Probability of God ½ - is/ not. If 1=is go to 5

2.) If 1 = not, no God.

3.) Universe is random> life probability 100%

4.) Probability life = tornado on a clear day going through a junkyard and making fully functional 747 with crew. Go to 7

5.) Iprobability it he/she created universe ½- did/not. If 5 =did go to 8

6.) If 5 not =go to 3

7.) Documented cases of tornadoes making 747=0. Documented cases people allegedly communicating to a God see human history.

8.) DONE

[GodForum]

LOL good 1

[PCScipio]

If you look for Doctor Ramachandran on YouTube you'll find that affecting the temporal and parietal lobes is pretty much the religious experience.

[imrational]

was this your radio show? Pretty cool!
