@MrDavidBradfield It's actually kind of gibberish, but if we ignore the grammatical errors it essentially means "Twenty three steps to the greatest power." The main problem is that "potestat" isn't a word; it would mean something like "He powers" if it were a verb. I believe he meant "potestatem," which would mean "power," be a noun, be grammatically correct, etc. etc.
There is evidence of consciousness within this bands music, Tracks written with different keys and odd beats sink up seamlessly? Why is that? Music is highly mathematic, Remember classical music? Words are chosen carefully, and so is every note, sound played. You shouldn't have to think too hard to realize their songs shine out brightly and seamlessly. There is something more to them, even to the skeptics who just can not stop listening. Believing is seeing and vice, listen before you speak.
I think this is a stretch. The only reason these songs sync up adequately at all is because they, along with many Tool songs, are in the same key, D, allowing for almost any two songs to have the illusion that they can sync up, reversed or not. I think observational videos like this can be cool, but frankly are laughed at by the members of Tool due to the fan's assumption that the music is convoluted. The overthinkinng and overanalyzing will send us off in a stupor.
do you actually think that when bands make up music and play it for the first time, they think o this will go great with this other song... i dont think so. i think that some of their music sounds similar so it goes along well with other songs
I gotta stop listening to tool before they dehydrate me thru makin' me have 1 to many multible Jizzgazum's......Think I'll go listen to some of that Bieber boy....no chance in cumming there. *can u feel me Miss. Gomez ?!
There is no accurate measure of what one can experience on these particular compunds, not because there can't be, but because we currently have no "legal " forum for people whom choose to take this pyschedelic for better understanding of the self, the soul and the world around us, So that their experiences might keep their validity, merit & possible be shared so that others may be able to benefit from. Otherwise it stays unproven"sciencific" nonsense, which isn't true. That is the real problem
@Tiberiusformal "There is no accurate measure of what one can experience on these particular compounds."
As someone who has experienced them before tell me what it is that makes you think one persons subjective interpretation of a hallucination as being real is more valid than mine?
When I first did hallucinogens I arrogantly felt like I knew more about spirituality and the soul too. Then those pesky logical faculties kicked in and made me realize it was nothing but wishful thinking.
BTW For those who wish to be read actually scientific data on DMT, please read this book before One makes such great assumptions. just because we can't see these things/ideas doesn't mean they are not there. DMT:The spirit Molecule By Richard Strauss M.D, Ph.D. Truth is truth beyond ant measure of opinion. Truth doesn't change, does not faulter nor adapt to "our misunderstanding". We adapt to Truth or Continue our path towards desturction and/or ultimate confusion
@Tiberiusformal Richard admits that it had become apparent that in spite of his best efforts to distinguish between scientific knowledge and his own conjecture, people very often mistook his conjecture for claims of knowledge.
Either you're suggesting that the book proves the supernatural or you're suggesting that it offers something compelling enough to make me believe. You either overestimate the book or underestimate my standard for truth.
It's not a coincidence that the songs from LATERALUS match, all songs are done in "D" intonation, or over "A" so it is obvious that they are in harmony! Now go get a life and stop imagining things therefore making your life more meaningful.
@imjoeimjoe Impossible, since it is produced CONSTANTLY in low doses in your own body. You are on it right now, or you wouldn't be conscious. I've never heard of anyone getting STUPID from something that EXPANDS awareness. Maybe you should put down the mind numbing bottle of beer and try some DMT yourself. Or are you one of those people who tried it and got scared, and now takes the position that the experience is pure delusion, so that you don't have to face the reality of it all?
@tahuti6 damn dude, you don't need to defend DMT to me, I know what it is and what it does, just making a joke, man, and there's no need to put words into my mouth and defend yourself from something I never said, I don't see anywhere in my previous comment saying anything about it making anyone stupid or whether it does or does not expand awareness, don't take your previous upsets about fighting with other people on this subject on me, and assuming I have the same opinions. Get a grip.
@imjoeimjoe Sorry... my bad. Several hours without nicotine can do that to a man. I guess you can tell that I've had that argument before. It just sounded so much like what I'm used to hearing from the naysayers. Oh well, at least it's out there for someone else to read in case they go deciding to get all froggy and diss on my favorite sacrament. Peace... (I obviously have nicotine now)
@tahuti6 The experience is not delusion. It's a hallucination. Don't mistake chemical reactions for glimpses of higher truth of some supernatural element of existence. They are natural phenomena. That's the reality of it.
That is the honesty of it. I used to think there was something more to it once. But if you open your mind too wide, you let ideas run the show that haven't earned their place there.
@TatsujinSan In terms of chemistry, it's a simple matter of synaptic efficiency. Meditation, breathing excersises tec... causes the effect, and the only difference between those methods and the method of inhaling dmt, is that in the case of the later, it is almost always more of that experience. It isn't really a "drug" experiennce any more than breathing air is. I have a great deal of experience with both Yogi DMT and smoked, there is nothing supernatural about unfiltered perception and egocide
@tahuti6 I agree except for the part about being able to achieve the same thing with breathing exercises. Without the drugs it is a day dream at best. Be honest.
Total egocide is, however, impossible, pointless and in actuality based in egotistical desire anyway. Any motivation to achieve such a state makes presumptions about the superiority of achieving that state. When existence ultimately has no meaning other than what we pretend it does.
@TatsujinSan I rephrase: I HEAR that you can achieve this with breathing, although my own experience concurs with your statement. As for egocide. I'm not talking about something permanent, but a brief experience of death and rebirth. Anyone who hasn't experienced this would probably discount the idea. I could argue that EVERYTHING we do is driven by ego, but I am also aware of a collective mind that transcends our egos. Egocide is death of the self that acts as a barrier between us and light.
@tahuti6 You are AWARE? Or you PERCEIVE that there is a collective mind that transcends our egos? What allows you to conclude that your mind cannot be tricking you?
@TatsujinSan I could play this game as well. Are you SURE that you are sitting there reading this? Are you sure that ANYTHING is real, that life itself isn't just a trick of the mind? So let's put it this way: From my own perspective I'm as sure of it as I am of the individual mind that is the ego typing this right now... however, since (as you point out) we can't really be sure of ANY perceived thing; perhaps pointing out some corroborating evidence outside of my experience may be needed?
@tahuti6 Reality is more likely not comprised of additionally complex systems that would be required to yield it an illusion. Systems required, however, to yield your perception of a collective consciousness are not outside the capability of the human brain.
"I think therefore I am" Words of wisdom. You exist.
If you're as sure of this collective mind as you are of your own mind, then please describe for me using the art of language what you experienced.
@TatsujinSan The "reality" of a singular source of consciousness requires no more complexity, and in fact is infinitely more simplistic and elegant than a reality of random microcosms operating in near perfect order on their own, when evolution itself points to a common ancestry for all life on this one planetary spec. I would love to 'try' to put my own experiences into words, but this would do nothing to satisfy the debate. I would rather point to the commonalities between my own and others'.
@tahuti6 That's a heck of a stretch. A single source of consciousness is infinitely more simplistic and elegant? There is what we experience as our physical reality and our individual minds, then to suggest that each of our minds are united under some collective consciousness requires the existence of an ADDITIONAL element and is thus more complex. It requires something tangible that we somehow wouldn't consider material that can somehow forge material...
@tahuti6 As far as random microcosms operating in near perfect order. The assumption is made that our existence is significant or good. It's "perfect" for our bias interest in existing. If someone wins the lottery do you conclude that they must have cheated? The alleged "unlikelihood" is irrelevant. Though I dispute the concept of it being unlikely as well.
For the record I still respect your interpretation infinitely more than the religious.
@TatsujinSan Likelihood and subjective definition of the word 'perfect' have nothing to do with what I'm saying. In terms of not only survival efficiency but also an ability to employ will, questioning, reason, emotion, etc etc... as a working machine, it is an OBJECTIVE fact that the human is a well ordered and immensely complex organism. Again, I can play that old reductionist game too... anything you say, I reduce to subjective nonsense. But eventually we'll get to the meat and potatoes here.
@TatsujinSan Also, for the record: Although I obviously have use for a view of reality that includes a transcendent state and sees consciousness or at least a primal 'will' as the catalyst behind our evolution, while your position seems to be a bit more materialistic from my vantage point; I find it WAY easier to discuss such things with someone of your opinion than someone who is blinded by faith and dogma.
@tahuti6 Yes, our viewpoints aren't that far off from each other really. When I did believe in such things I had an almost identical outlook.
I simply decided to take a step back from considering such things as true. I haven't then concluded them impossible. I just find the reasons for doubting such things very compelling.
I don't like the term "reductionist". It brings an impression that we wouldn't be as beautiful without such concepts.
@TatsujinSan The problem with the argument is it's only for those who have tried psychedelics. they're the only ones who cn wrap their head around. there's also a HUGE difference between between psychedelic hallucinations and non psychedelic hallucinations. HUUUUGE!!!!
@toneage7 The problem with the argument is that it goes from a very obvious cause and effect scenario, ignores the obvious explanation of what's going on and makes supernatural claims about the nature of reality that defy the lesson that should be learned from the experience. Which is that the brain is capable of producing very vivid illusions and the certainty of any "transcendent" experience is now invalid.
@TatsujinSan The problem with you is you think that just because something is explained or comprehended(partly) it rules out the possibility of a guiding force behind it. Also, step off the pretentiousness soapbox because even professionals studying DMT (you mentioned trying it) can't fully explain it. Much less a couple of people arguing over it on youtube. You seem far to certain of your point for it to be credible especially considering it's something that absolutely cannot be measured.
@toneage7 "you think...it rules out the possibility of a guiding force behind it."
I don't think it rules it out. I think your reasoning for believing the affirmative is laughable. I don't think it's impossible, I'm simply saying that believing it because of the ingestion of mind-altering substances is childish and stupid.
Excuse me, but your position carries just as much pretence so don't act all high and mighty. The position of humility would be for neither of us to assert an affirmative..
@TatsujinSan Actually the basis of my argument was that NOBODY knows therefore I'm coming from the open minded perspective, not the affirmative. But you went ahead and accused me of saying otherwise. Also... we can agree that an orange can be broken down to a micro scale as group of cells working together, because of that, am I to dismiss the notion that when you look at it from a macro scale It forms a bigger picture as a fruit? What a lame approach. Oh well, the world needs accountant types
@toneage7 Normally I do come at these discussions from the "open"-minded angle. I'm just annoyed with all the various bullshit arguments claiming to verify the existence of the supernatural.
You're right though, I shouldn't speak in such terms. I'll leave that to people making claims that ingesting drugs lets you see things that are really there but otherwise unseeable.
I was wrong to assume you believed in such things and apologize.
@toneage7 I'm not sure I understand what you're saying about oranges. We can view the orange in both methods.
If the analogy is that our universe is meant to be the microscopic data of an orange, then we would have to add that not enough about this orange is known based on our data to understand what the bigger picture of the orange was. or that anything existed apart from the orange.
@toneage7 I have two questions. When you say " the argument is it's only for those who have tried psychedelics. they're the only ones who cn wrap their head around."
If you're not suggesting that you need to try psychedelics to understand the validity of the argument that they verify the supernatural, are you referring to a different argument? What are you saying exactly?
Second, when you say "it absolutely cannot be measured". What is "it"? And why can't it be measured?
@toneage7 Also, when you say professionals don't understand DMT. What is it they don't understand? Have the hallucinations proven to be too vivid to be the manifestation of the mind. What aspect of the experience is it they don't understand with regards to how it could be a natural reaction?
Also, cite some examples of these professional studies and what's being said about DMT that leads you to believe the highest standards of science are puzzled by it.
@toneage7 The problem with you is you think that just because something is explained or comprehended(partly) it rules out the possibility of a guiding force behind it. Also, step off the pretentiousness soapbox because even professionals studying DMT (you mentioned trying it) can't fully explain it. Much less a couple of people arguing over it on youtube. You seem far to certain of your point for it to be credible especially considering it's something that absolutely cannot be measured.
@toneage7 ...(cont) I sort of hinted at knowledge that your claim is untrue but in humility I should only say that it's unsupported.
At the core that is what I believe. That the evidence isn't good enough for belief in such things.
However, your position carries just as much pretence and arrogance by saying things like, " the argument is it's only for those who have tried psychedelics. they're the only ones who cn wrap their head around."
You have an overactive imagination. imsosaucedUSMC, the saying is "the proof is in the putting." It means the worth of something is in the results of its practical application, its "putting" to task.
this is thee biggest load of bullshit i have had the unfortunate duty of laying my eyes as well as ears upon, whoever has given birth and put out this garbage of conspiracy theories will die a painful death, filled with elephant penises and japanese warrior wasps. tool is tool, MOTHERFUCKER

And they don't sync that perfectly. Dont get me wrong, they sound sick, but I feel like you were high as shit and put them together, thinking the sounded sick. I've done the same thing before.
i think its extremely plausible for the tracks on lateralus to link up when layered over one and other. tae one look at the album artwork. the whole book was composed of layering different images to make a complete picture. The front cover. We know tool don't advertise or promote in obvious ways so why would they go through this extent to even suggest layering their material?
nice way of losing your time, man. you know, if you were talking about the beatles, i would believe this. they loved to hide stupid things in their songs. but tool aren't that kind of assholes, they take their music seriously and they wouldn't lose time hiding things that are purely coincidence. and, why would they want to hide their music? it makes no sense.
@JudithTheJewish all of tools albums are one huge message. im sure there are multiple ways to put it together. there is something signifigant inside it. im not sure what.
@BlueSpirals I was ironic, but u can't understand it because i wrote the last words in another language! Apart from this, Allah=Jesus=Yahweh=Jehovah=Buddha=God=.....=the same=the inner need of humanity to believe in someone or something higher than them to try to reach. And according to people's environment they create different kind of Gods, but is the same really. And is So simple.
@themistoklas Just because people believe in similar creators does not make the creators the same. You obviously know little about zoroastrianism, hinduism, or manichaeism. In fact, these gods share few similar traits. I would contend that the abrahamic gods are all the same, but it is quite obvious that not all gods are even remotely similar.
@BlueSpirals People throw the word god around alot. What's it mean? Even "God in us" or "in the image of God" can mean so many different things. I can say though, that just looking outside of oneself for "God"will keep God secret. We are. And we have an eye to see, AN eye. See?
@rvlqcitizen I think you are missing my point. Somebody said, "God is dog spelled backwards to remind us of blah blah blah", and I pointed out that the word god only has that property in english. If you use the hebrew or arabic word for god, you cannot create a palindrome. I'm basically stating that your argument is a stupid coincidence and nothing more.
You take 2 tracks that are just interludes into other tracks and reverse them and lay them over Lateralus at a very specific time in the song and think there was some deeper meaning that they somewhat sync up... Retarded.
Mantra is a series of noises with no rhythm or melody, it will sync up to about 10,000 different songs, and when you flipped Eon Blue Apocalypse and laid it over top it didn't even sync that well. You have too much time on your hands dude. And you spelled HELLA shit wrong..
The reason this works isn't hidden meaning... the songs were composed with a certain mathematical/music theory rule in mind and so they CAN fit together. Maybe they weren't meant to, but it is more than interesting to hear that they fit. And kind of an ear-treat. Except Eon Blue... don't think that one needed reversal so much.
its like the beatles said when people were putting all these meanings to the songs, they laughed and said hey! were just putting the music out there make of it what you will!
I am a huge tool fan but I have to admit, this is just a big mind fuck...they're just a gimmick. the gimmick with tool is that they're messing with you.
Well there are many people who dislike tool because thier songs are all in the same key, but its because each one is interchangeable to the next one, and whether you put the tracks together at the same time, backwards at different times, It all fits, the peices fit. I know.
Yes I think coincidence because songs HAVE A TEMPO. Ass. And most probably those songs were written in one tempo.
I love Tool but when will the fanatic overanalyzing bullshit stop, I've seen some guy state adding something from 3 songs makes 37/60 which is the golden ratio related to fibonacci blah blah... Open your third eye (read: your gaping asshole)
WTF? I bet Maynard's laughing at all of you and thinking about how you lifeless stoners managed to find so much random shit in one's music.
@ryder187mac haha, pretty true and funny. But there actually is the Fibonacci sequence in the syllables of the lyrics to Lateralus, and he starts singing 97 seconds into the song (1.618 minutes) which is the golden ratio, related to the Fibonacci sequence.
@hunterW1134 Not to mention the 1,1,2,3,5,8,5,3 syllables:
Black, then, white are, all I see, in my infancy, red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me, lets me see.
It's not coincidence...they put that thought into it, so I wouldn't call it over-analyzing, but number theory is all subjective and you can translate it however you like. Not to sound like a douche, but I'd think it could be used as a source of inspiration...maybe that was how it was intended?
@JMills36 I agree with it all being a source of inspiration and I think a lot of the lyrics flat out tell us this, especially with Lateralus. I think it's no coincidence that the bands name is exactly what the message is.. a tool for progression and not just accepting what is handed to you... swing on the spiral and look further into your own possibilities, constantly expanding and exploring life for more than just what is taught to you.
@sativa850 I don't have a direct line to Maynard or anything, so I don't really know, but I like to think that the reason they named themselves "Tool" was so they could watch a bunch of jackasses running around with "Tool" written all over them...
The the "Spiral out" lyric (aside from talking about "expanding your horizons" or however you want to word it) I think is a reference to the Golden Spiral, comprised of figures from the Fibonacci sequence.
@BBown1 Hahaha, my comment was a little unclear, I really was mostly joking...I just like to think that because the idea of it all seems pretty hysterical, a bunch of fanatical Tool extremists plastered with the word, pissing one another off and having big revelations. Sorry to uhh...offend?
I feel that there are much more notable things happening in Lateralus. Like the idea that the songs can be played in a spiral order and still flow together. Or the fibonacci in Lateralus. Etc.
anybody with any idea what it takes to write a song knows that syncing two or more songs together like this is not a coincedence... this is musical genius. proof in the pudding tool is the best rock band of our time, maybe all time.
@imsosaucedUSMC anyone with any idea of music theory or indeed has ever studied large quantitys of data knows that these 'coincedences' happen often because we impose them. Neither Mantra or Apocalypse have any sort of rhythm or for that matter expandied melodys. You could put them on many songs and have the very same effect.
Last of all Lateralis sounds better without it.
If you look hard enough you'll find 'secret songs' on any album 'though i will admit you find it a lot easier with prog.
@imsosaucedUSMC This is complete coincidence. Besides, the guy who uploaded the vid had to skip parts of music to find somewhere where it sounds remotely acceptable to have ambient music playing over a different song. It isn't hard to sync Tool songs, all their fucking music is in modal drop D tuning.
@ATSxGHOSTx First of all, you're the idiot. Second, tell you if WHAT is "coincidence"? Coincidence that Lateralus is also in drop D tuning? OH WOW YOU DISCOVERED SOMETHING! Think before you speak.
@youboon haha you really like to keep making yourself sound STUPID!!! drop D tuning is the only insult that dumbfucks like you can think of! they put more thought into a single song than you will in life... this happens to be the best band thats still alive and maybe in history. what music do you listen to? the rythmn, beat, lyrical genius, thought, all work together to build this OUTSTANDING music. sends shivers down my spine everytime i listen to it!!! you conceitful prick
@ATSxGHOSTx You aren't making sense at all. I don't think English is your first language, but I'm not holding that against you, but it just isn't helping your cause. Drop D tuning isn't an insult, but the majority of their songs use it, so don't you think it's coincidence that you can play ambient parts of 7 minute songs over other parts of ambient 7 minute songs that both use D minor? Lol feel bad for you, but at least you are passionate about this music. Not sure if you see the whole, though.
@youboon how am i not making sense? what didnt make sense? and yeah i dont think you need to put one song over the other because the songs themselves are what are fucking awesome!
@blackshawarma Mantra is accually suppose to be after Ticks and Leaches cuase the lyrics of Ticks and Leaches say i Hope you Choke and Mantra was suppose to be the sound of some one choking follow Fibonacci yo
This ain't a secret song, this is just someone fucking around with the tracks off of lateralus, But hell I'm not complaining, We all need to start doing this.
This video may be going a bit far, but Tool is loaded up with metaphor, imagery and sacred geometry as as well and other things that may go unseen by people just listening to it for it's "badass" qualities. Look up the Fibonacci Sequence, which Tool pays homage to in Lateralus. There's a lot of hidden things in Tool that speak of strange connections and concepts beyond the 5 senses. Things that are rather outside the box and go against established thinking.
@420Jugg3RnauT420 You fail at life dude...Needing attention from youtubers?? This sounds really good, I really dont care if its coincidence or planed... Thats all...
do you really need to be an ass to make yourself feel good? yes, this vid is probably just some guy's hallucinogenic experience but guess what. Those regular day to day emotions that make us feel so.. alive; love, anger, joy, sadness - it's all just chemicals your brain has learned to create naturally. and like emotions, chemicals in drugs can make us feel things that are completely abstract and unexplainable without the experience. so take 3 minutes, and try to enjoy life bitch.
@infiniteduderonomy I wasn't at all upset with the video, it's just that it was someone elses. Also, two points: I enjoy life, every day. The other, I'm not you're bitch, so go back to your blog-based diatribe...I don't care what you think, and you tought me nothing.
this is the most retarded shit i've ever seen. there is zero relation between mantra over lateralus and eon blue reversed over lateralus. just cause it's in the same key and has no beat doesn't mean it's maynard's way of telling you the meaning of the universe.
I was looking for a little help with an essay but this fell short. In fact...I thought it was kinda lame. And I feel bad for saying that cause I LOVE TOOL.
number plus the number before it. 1+1=2 2+1=3 3+2=5 5+3=8 8+5=13 Count the amount of syllables in the verses, and it follows that pattern black=1 and=1 white are=2 all i see=3 in my infancy=5
This isn't a hidden song, this has basically just been a mix. The reason why this works? Well for one almost every single Tool song is in D minor pentatonic with similar tempo. The whole point of pentatonics is that every single note in them sounds good with the rest, so really you can't go wrong mixing Tool songs together unless you either:
a) Don't sync the tempo right
b) Pull out one of the few in a key other then D (Like Parabola)
Their whole point since the beginning was to have people focus on the music and the art not them, so making them into a religion would be kind of stupid, especially when maynard hates scientology.
I'm sorry to say, but your video you put in a link doesn't work anymore ...
Their songs are just fawking master, from instrumental to lyrics. Tool knows how to make music special, and knows how to make you think. <3 I love them.
agree with dead head about the Maynard religion and you can sync Mantra with ANY song..... its just Maynard squeezing his cat gently and slowing it down like syncing white noise with a song... its useless
That's just stupid. They recorded one song (Lateralus), then pulled out some parts of it, reversed them or whatever, and that's that. Tool is one of the greatest band ever, but don't be dumbasses, please...
Not a coincidence, merely songs in the same scale in probably same time signature. Yet there are plenty other real secrets in Tool's music worth discovering :)
Maynard is sitting back and laughing his head off thinking that people are falling RIGHT in to the very trap he sings about.
"I'm not that deep... but it's amazing how far one can drag someone INTO the "deep".

I think this is a stretch. The only reason these songs sync up adequately at all is because they, along with many Tool songs, are in the same key, D, allowing for almost any two songs to have the illusion that they can sync up, reversed or not. I think observational videos like this can be cool, but frankly are laughed at by the members of Tool due to the fan's assumption that the music is convoluted. The overthinkinng and overanalyzing will send us off in a stupor.

There is no accurate measure of what one can experience on these particular compunds, not because there can't be, but because we currently have no "legal " forum for people whom choose to take this pyschedelic for better understanding of the self, the soul and the world around us, So that their experiences might keep their validity, merit & possible be shared so that others may be able to benefit from. Otherwise it stays unproven"sciencific" nonsense, which isn't true. That is the real problem

@Tiberiusformal "There is no accurate measure of what one can experience on these particular compounds."
As someone who has experienced them before tell me what it is that makes you think one persons subjective interpretation of a hallucination as being real is more valid than mine?
When I first did hallucinogens I arrogantly felt like I knew more about spirituality and the soul too. Then those pesky logical faculties kicked in and made me realize it was nothing but wishful thinking.

@Tiberiusformal Richard admits that it had become apparent that in spite of his best efforts to distinguish between scientific knowledge and his own conjecture, people very often mistook his conjecture for claims of knowledge.
Either you're suggesting that the book proves the supernatural or you're suggesting that it offers something compelling enough to make me believe. You either overestimate the book or underestimate my standard for truth.
Sorry, but I actually read it years ago.

@imjoeimjoe Impossible, since it is produced CONSTANTLY in low doses in your own body. You are on it right now, or you wouldn't be conscious. I've never heard of anyone getting STUPID from something that EXPANDS awareness. Maybe you should put down the mind numbing bottle of beer and try some DMT yourself. Or are you one of those people who tried it and got scared, and now takes the position that the experience is pure delusion, so that you don't have to face the reality of it all?

@tahuti6 damn dude, you don't need to defend DMT to me, I know what it is and what it does, just making a joke, man, and there's no need to put words into my mouth and defend yourself from something I never said, I don't see anywhere in my previous comment saying anything about it making anyone stupid or whether it does or does not expand awareness, don't take your previous upsets about fighting with other people on this subject on me, and assuming I have the same opinions. Get a grip.

@imjoeimjoe Sorry... my bad. Several hours without nicotine can do that to a man. I guess you can tell that I've had that argument before.

tahuti6 7 months ago
@tahuti6 The experience is not delusion. It's a hallucination. Don't mistake chemical reactions for glimpses of higher truth of some supernatural element of existence. They are natural phenomena. That's the reality of it.
That is the honesty of it. I used to think there was something more to it once. But if you open your mind too wide, you let ideas run the show that haven't earned their place there.
TatsujinSan 7 months ago
@TatsujinSan In terms of chemistry, it's a simple matter of synaptic efficiency. Meditation, breathing excersises tec... causes the effect, and the only difference between those methods and the method of inhaling dmt, is that in the case of the later, it is almost always more of that experience. It isn't really a "drug" experiennce any more than breathing air is. I have a great deal of experience with both Yogi DMT and smoked, there is nothing supernatural about unfiltered perception and egocide
tahuti6 7 months ago
@tahuti6 I agree except for the part about being able to achieve the same thing with breathing exercises. Without the drugs it is a day dream at best. Be honest.
Total egocide is, however, impossible, pointless and in actuality based in egotistical desire anyway. Any motivation to achieve such a state makes presumptions about the superiority of achieving that state. When existence ultimately has no meaning other than what we pretend it does.
No ego is better for what purpose?
TatsujinSan 7 months ago
@TatsujinSan I rephrase: I HEAR that you can achieve this with breathing, although my own experience concurs with your statement. As for egocide. I'm not talking about something permanent, but a brief experience of death and rebirth. Anyone who hasn't experienced this would probably discount the idea. I could argue that EVERYTHING we do is driven by ego, but I am also aware of a collective mind that transcends our egos. Egocide is death of the self that acts as a barrier between us and light.
tahuti6 6 months ago
@tahuti6 You are AWARE? Or you PERCEIVE that there is a collective mind that transcends our egos? What allows you to conclude that your mind cannot be tricking you?
TatsujinSan 6 months ago
@TatsujinSan I could play this game as well. Are you SURE that you are sitting there reading this? Are you sure that ANYTHING is real, that life itself isn't just a trick of the mind? So let's put it this way: From my own perspective I'm as sure of it as I am of the individual mind that is the ego typing this right now... however, since (as you point out) we can't really be sure of ANY perceived thing; perhaps pointing out some corroborating evidence outside of my experience may be needed?
tahuti6 6 months ago
@tahuti6 Reality is more likely not comprised of additionally complex systems that would be required to yield it an illusion. Systems required, however, to yield your perception of a collective consciousness are not outside the capability of the human brain.
"I think therefore I am" Words of wisdom. You exist.
If you're as sure of this collective mind as you are of your own mind, then please describe for me using the art of language what you experienced.
TatsujinSan 6 months ago
@TatsujinSan The "reality" of a singular source of consciousness requires no more complexity, and in fact is infinitely more simplistic and elegant than a reality of random microcosms operating in near perfect order on their own, when evolution itself points to a common ancestry for all life on this one planetary spec. I would love to 'try' to put my own experiences into words, but this would do nothing to satisfy the debate. I would rather point to the commonalities between my own and others'.
tahuti6 6 months ago
@tahuti6 That's a heck of a stretch. A single source of consciousness is infinitely more simplistic and elegant? There is what we experience as our physical reality and our individual minds, then to suggest that each of our minds are united under some collective consciousness requires the existence of an ADDITIONAL element and is thus more complex. It requires something tangible that we somehow wouldn't consider material that can somehow forge material...
TatsujinSan 6 months ago
@tahuti6 As far as random microcosms operating in near perfect order. The assumption is made that our existence is significant or good. It's "perfect" for our bias interest in existing. If someone wins the lottery do you conclude that they must have cheated? The alleged "unlikelihood" is irrelevant. Though I dispute the concept of it being unlikely as well.
For the record I still respect your interpretation infinitely more than the religious.
TatsujinSan 6 months ago
@TatsujinSan Likelihood and subjective definition of the word 'perfect' have nothing to do with what I'm saying. In terms of not only survival efficiency but also an ability to employ will, questioning, reason, emotion, etc etc... as a working machine, it is an OBJECTIVE fact that the human is a well ordered and immensely complex organism. Again, I can play that old reductionist game too... anything you say, I reduce to subjective nonsense. But eventually we'll get to the meat and potatoes here.
tahuti6 6 months ago
@TatsujinSan Also, for the record: Although I obviously have use for a view of reality that includes a transcendent state and sees consciousness or at least a primal 'will' as the catalyst behind our evolution, while your position seems to be a bit more materialistic from my vantage point; I find it WAY easier to discuss such things with someone of your opinion than someone who is blinded by faith and dogma.
tahuti6 6 months ago
@tahuti6 Yes, our viewpoints aren't that far off from each other really. When I did believe in such things I had an almost identical outlook.
I simply decided to take a step back from considering such things as true. I haven't then concluded them impossible. I just find the reasons for doubting such things very compelling.
I don't like the term "reductionist". It brings an impression that we wouldn't be as beautiful without such concepts.
Yes we are complex. And?

@TatsujinSan The problem with the argument is it's only for those who have tried psychedelics. they're the only ones who cn wrap their head around. there's also a HUGE difference between between psychedelic hallucinations and non psychedelic hallucinations. HUUUUGE!!!!
toneage7 7 months ago
@toneage7 The problem with the argument is that it goes from a very obvious cause and effect scenario, ignores the obvious explanation of what's going on and makes supernatural claims about the nature of reality that defy the lesson that should be learned from the experience. Which is that the brain is capable of producing very vivid illusions and the certainty of any "transcendent" experience is now invalid.
I tried hallucinogens several times in the past.
TatsujinSan 7 months ago
@TatsujinSan The problem with you is you think that just because something is explained or comprehended(partly) it rules out the possibility of a guiding force behind it. Also, step off the pretentiousness soapbox because even professionals studying DMT (you mentioned trying it) can't fully explain it. Much less a couple of people arguing over it on youtube. You seem far to certain of your point for it to be credible especially considering it's something that absolutely cannot be measured.
toneage7 7 months ago
@toneage7 "you think...it rules out the possibility of a guiding force behind it."
I don't think it rules it out. I think your reasoning for believing the affirmative is laughable. I don't think it's impossible, I'm simply saying that believing it because of the ingestion of mind-altering substances is childish and stupid.
Excuse me, but your position carries just as much pretence so don't act all high and mighty. The position of humility would be for neither of us to assert an affirmative..
TatsujinSan 7 months ago
@TatsujinSan Actually the basis of my argument was that NOBODY knows therefore I'm coming from the open minded perspective, not the affirmative. But you went ahead and accused me of saying otherwise. Also... we can agree that an orange can be broken down to a micro scale as group of cells working together, because of that, am I to dismiss the notion that when you look at it from a macro scale It forms a bigger picture as a fruit? What a lame approach. Oh well, the world needs accountant types
toneage7 7 months ago
@toneage7 Normally I do come at these discussions from the "open"-minded angle. I'm just annoyed with all the various bullshit arguments claiming to verify the existence of the supernatural.
You're right though, I shouldn't speak in such terms. I'll leave that to people making claims that ingesting drugs lets you see things that are really there but otherwise unseeable.
I was wrong to assume you believed in such things and apologize.
I'm an artist by the way. lol Not an accountant.
TatsujinSan 7 months ago
@toneage7 I'm not sure I understand what you're saying about oranges. We can view the orange in both methods.
If the analogy is that our universe is meant to be the microscopic data of an orange, then we would have to add that not enough about this orange is known based on our data to understand what the bigger picture of the orange was. or that anything existed apart from the orange.
TatsujinSan 7 months ago
@toneage7 I have two questions. When you say " the argument is it's only for those who have tried psychedelics. they're the only ones who cn wrap their head around."
If you're not suggesting that you need to try psychedelics to understand the validity of the argument that they verify the supernatural, are you referring to a different argument? What are you saying exactly?
Second, when you say "it absolutely cannot be measured". What is "it"? And why can't it be measured?

@toneage7 ...(cont) I sort of hinted at knowledge that your claim is untrue but in humility I should only say that it's unsupported.
At the core that is what I believe. That the evidence isn't good enough for belief in such things.
However, your position carries just as much pretence and arrogance by saying things like, " the argument is it's only for those who have tried psychedelics. they're the only ones who cn wrap their head around."
Oh really? Because it sounded like...

@toneage7 ...(cont) you were defending the man who suggested that the effects of DMT reflect an unseen reality and not a hallucination.
"You seem far too certain of your point for it to be credible"
On the contrary, I'm more certain of my point because it IS more credible.
"it's something that absolutely cannot be measured."
If it can't be measured and I can experience the same thing you are and am not convinced of the same conclusion you draw then why should anyone be?

You take 2 tracks that are just interludes into other tracks and reverse them and lay them over Lateralus at a very specific time in the song and think there was some deeper meaning that they somewhat sync up... Retarded.
Mantra is a series of noises with no rhythm or melody, it will sync up to about 10,000 different songs, and when you flipped Eon Blue Apocalypse and laid it over top it didn't even sync that well. You have too much time on your hands dude. And you spelled HELLA shit wrong..

It's not coincidence...they put that thought into it, so I wouldn't call it over-analyzing, but number theory is all subjective and you can translate it however you like. Not to sound like a douche, but I'd think it could be used as a source of inspiration...maybe that was how it was intended?

@JMills36 I agree with it all being a source of inspiration and I think a lot of the lyrics flat out tell us this, especially with Lateralus.

@sativa850 I don't have a direct line to Maynard or anything, so I don't really know, but I like to think that the reason they named themselves "Tool" was so they could watch a bunch of jackasses running around with "Tool" written all over them...
The the "Spiral out" lyric (aside from talking about "expanding your horizons" or however you want to word it) I think is a reference to the Golden Spiral, comprised of figures from the Fibonacci sequence.

This video may be going a bit far, but Tool is loaded up with metaphor, imagery and sacred geometry as as well and other things that may go unseen by people just listening to it for it's "badass" qualities. Look up the Fibonacci Sequence, which Tool pays homage to in Lateralus. There's a lot of hidden things in Tool that speak of strange connections and concepts beyond the 5 senses. Things that are rather outside the box and go against established thinking.

@infiniteduderonomy I wasn't at all upset with the video, it's just that it was someone elses. Also, two points: I enjoy life, every day. The other, I'm not you're bitch, so go back to your blog-based diatribe...I don't care what you think, and you tought me nothing.

Isn't Mantra just the sound of Maynard squeezing one of his cats, slowed down?
I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm pretty sure that's actually what it is.

this is the most retarded shit i've ever seen. there is zero relation between mantra over lateralus and eon blue reversed over lateralus. just cause it's in the same key and has no beat doesn't mean it's maynard's way of telling you the meaning of the universe.

Nothing they do can be called coincidence =), they are just perfect.

You've just mixed songs with no rhythm with Lateralus. So?! You can mixed them with any other, just like blackshawarma said.

I was looking for a little help with an essay but this fell short. In fact...I thought it was kinda lame. And I feel bad for saying that cause I LOVE TOOL.
Thanks for posting anyways.

This is one of the most pathetic wastes of time I have come across yet, both for me and the poor fool who created it.

This isn't a hidden song, this has basically just been a mix. The reason why this works? Well for one almost every single Tool song is in D minor pentatonic with similar tempo. The whole point of pentatonics is that every single note in them sounds good with the rest, so really you can't go wrong mixing Tool songs together unless you either:
a) Don't sync the tempo right
b) Pull out one of the few in a key other then D (Like Parabola)

Their whole point since the beginning was to have people focus on the music and the art not them, so making them into a religion would be kind of stupid, especially when maynard hates scientology.

Wow, Tool is so incredible. Incredible beyond words.

I'm sorry to say, but your video you put in a link doesn't work anymore ...
Their songs are just fawking master, from instrumental to lyrics. Tool knows how to make music special, and knows how to make you think. <3 I love them.

agree with dead head about the Maynard religion and you can sync Mantra with ANY song..... its just Maynard squeezing his cat gently and slowing it down like syncing white noise with a song... its useless

That's just stupid. They recorded one song (Lateralus), then pulled out some parts of it, reversed them or whatever, and that's that. Tool is one of the greatest band ever, but don't be dumbasses, please...

Not a coincidence, merely songs in the same scale in probably same time signature. Yet there are plenty other real secrets in Tool's music worth discovering :)

No, not a coincidence, a fucking Divine Intervention in one of Tool's songs. Tool rocks, but videos like this one are worthless
