a question about the statement about un-actualized history/ probable reality databases of everything that could possibly happen: woulden't all the probabilties of everything that could possibly happen in just one day be in and of itself infinite?, never mind everything related to everyone for all time, im asking this because you mentioned the system was not infinite.

@w2aiq,

No the records of a finite set of interactions over a finite amount of time must necessarily be finite. The set and the time base must be finite because infinity, by its very definition, is logically impossible to ever get to.

Mr. Campbell, many have left comments about reaching your conclusions through LSD or DMT and curiously you haven't responded to them (though I could easily have missed your responses). Why is this? And how are hallucinogenic experiences related to the experience you had when reaching your TOE?

@MisterAtoms

I have answered this many times. In short, drugs are a bad way to travel -- great big downside, teeney weeney up side.

They relate to my experiences much the way riding a ricikety roller coster relates to holding a good well paying job if the subject is how to support a family. Drugs provide an experience with no context and no control -- Lots of gee whiz insight but little to no personal growth.

@twcjr44 How about DMT that doesn't put a hand on your decision making mechanism?

@HigherPlanes,

Look on the MBT forum -- I cannot answer that in 500 characters or less.

Psi and the Paranormal / Drugs and spiritual growth (I tried to post the url but UT wouldn't let me)

I know so many of us seem to be flogging a dead horse with this issue, but there are exceptions to that general rule, isn't there?

People like Terence McKenna, Ram Dass, Timothy Leary... all explorers of consciousness and advocates of a global realisation that we are all one. They seemed to be very low-entropy beings and they credit psychedelic chemicals as the catalyst for their enlightenment. Why is it that so many people appear to derive personal growth from hallucinogens?

If I saw this a year ago I would have thought this guy was nuts, it sure is amazing when you understand and experience this.

@bentebert This is the common problem of most close-minded skeptics. They approach all fields physically and objectively. They worship nothing but matter, which is a tiny spec of the larger system.

[wiggleEkitty]

I spend so much time contemplating my probable reality that i never actually experience reality itself because i spend so much time and energy thinking of everything that could go wrong and what might happen.

maybe tomorrow i will just stay in bed.

@bentebert HE is painting a very large picture. At least he's trying to tackle the greatest questions known to us. Skeptics are worthless when their only aim is to discredit someone.

@oclock1983 YEah, that is annoying. I see it as something much more abstract and kind of beautiful. Similar to a fractal artwork piece but, not exactly.
