How are drugs and or hallucinogens in general able to give us the insight or enlightenment that many have said they achieved. Witht hese two chapters there has been an emphasis to em on creatovoty from what seems to be chaotic and consistent randomness. Throughout our teaching of altered states we have been taught that we can achieve a higher sense of self throught the use of a form of meditation and drugs that produce hallucinogens. I dont want to sound like I am repeating myself but why?
Has anyoene evr considered that maybe shamans who have seen the double helix formation in their visions resembling the patterns of DNA was just coincidence. I see it no different then how ancient egyptian hieroglyphs depicted what many believed to be flying machines and electric light bulbs existing several thousand years before. And coming back to drugs I see where many cultures have responsibility in how and when to take these drugs and what you see from them unlike how people today use them just to get a quick high.
These altered states of conciousness to me is purely psychological. The way we experience dreams at night from the randomness of our mind is no different than how we would experience it from the usage of hallucinogens but only more extreme and or enhanced.
