why the bloody echo! argh better copy anyone?

[revolutionloveevolve]

@immortalfruit Hi this is taken directly from the audiobook and it is exactly how it sounds in the book, there isn't a 'better copy' available i believe the echo was added to distinguish between Terrence's normal dialogue and the mushroom speaking and probably for the spacey effect as well :-)

@AriDillProductions Yeah it sounds like Rue the Whirl by Boards.

@HUaRC You have a good point, but knowledge of the brain/substance directly effects these experiences and how your brain operates in these states of consciousness,

[itstonymacaroni]

I fucking love Terence McKenna.

@caseyface3 ... When the experience is over, you understand it, but you can't describe it to anyone, because our language is limited to our physical existence. If someone claims, that he can describe it, so everyone will understand it, I just laugh. It's like telling someone metaphors to describe orgasm. You are the only one who can experience it. Psychedelic experience is like an orgasm (=peak ecstasy), you have to experience it to relate to it and still you won't know how it feels for others.

[HUaRC]

@caseyface3 ... but they won't be able to "scientifically" explain the "psychedelic realm" (or mind) and it's functioning. They will never truly "own" it by poking it with "sophisticated sticks". The feeling of 100% understanding comes from experiencing the very phenomenon you observe. You have to consume it and see it "from the inside", observing by experiencing it every bit of it at once. Like you swap positions. Now your perspective, your consciousness is IN. You live "it", understand it...

[HUaRC]

@caseyface3 Studying the physical reality in order to understand a non-physical phenomenon (like our mind) is pointless. You can look as deep as you want to find where the "existing" meets the "non-existening", but you are seeking a finite point in infinity. You can squint as hard as you want, build newer apparatus to see even smaller bits, you can't see non-existence by seeking existence. So "neuroscientist" might map the physical structure and firing sequence of the brain...

@pointlessaccount100 you need a 5g dose for true boundary dissolving effects.
