[SHROOMERY DISCUSSION] Death, DMT, and the Afterlife.
#16622937 - 07/31/12 04:49 PM (9 months, 16 days ago) |

So I was thinking about DMT before I went to bed last night.
Many Users of DMT have related experiences.
Lets start by assuming these 2 points:
1.)DMT is a drug that takes your consciousness somewhere else. 2.)When you die copious amounts of DMT are released.
IMPORTANT:None of the above is backed by Scientific fact, it really hasn't been found out yet.
But if you believe that 1 & 2 are fact, please ponder the below questions.
So my question is: When you die, where does your consciousness go?
Does it stay in your body, are your just a human being hallucinating?
Is it flung across the universe? Does this mean a possible afterlife?
I googled "DMT relesing when you die" and this is what I found:http://www.mysticbanana.com/scientifically-does-the-surge-of-dmt-released-upon-death-provide-real-proof-of-the-likelihood-of-an-afterlife.html
I'm really not leaning on this issue any certain way, just sparked a little bit of curiosity in my mind last night.
Feel free to state your opinion or post anything related to this tread.
Thanks Everyone.

DMT is not released in large amounts when you die. That is a myth. There is also no evidence suggesting it makes your consciousness go somewhere else. Consciousness is a property of an active brain, and when you die, your consciousness ceases to exist.
-------------------- "I noticed that the feeling from mxe is better when you refrain from masturbating a day or two before, a few times when I masturbated before usage I got this WEIRD look in my eyes and it caused me to not be able to have eye contact with people, my eyes were more squinted and my face looked more puffy, but without masterbating that day or the day before I felt great, it actually felt somewhat like a different drug.
Anyone notice this?"

Any sources that confirms its a myth?
Many people report seeing similar things on DMT.
Outer Space seems to be where your consciousness goes.
Consciousness in terms of:The state of being awake and aware of one's surroundings.

"Dimethyltryptamine, or “DMT,” is a chemical produced in the pineal gland (between the two hemispheres of your brain) that is released in great quantities when you are born and when you die. "

So you want to discuss what happens based on erroneous information? What would be the point?
Let's discuss what the world would be like without gravity and if there was only one gender.

They are right. You can speculate all you want but nothing suggests either of the claims. Sometimes we must realize that what we want to be true is not what is actually true. If you can gather any evidence for either of your claims then we can discuss this further.

Still waiting for you to answer my question. Making me ask repeatedly is not conducive to discussion nor will it make you any new friends.
So far we have a dozen posts, zero content and you want to continue the trend.

Oh shit, if you meant this question I didn't see it.
This question really makes me think.
The music is still on the CD. The CD still holds the information, but no longer has the ability to play it.
If the brain dies, the information is still in your brain. But the brain, no longer living, doesn't have the ability to do anything with it. All your memory enzymes just sit in a lifeless skull.
But if, let me add another if for you,IF DMT is released upon death, and in a large quantity. Could a human mind achieve a loss of time and forever be lost in its own working? Until the enzymes and matter eventually breakdown and decompose.
Sorry about that, I thought you were talking about your question before that.

Your argument doesn't make any sense, the information on the CD is not lost. Your argument supports the opposite of what you contend.

Ease up. You're right though. And I was trying to be a bit clever (even though I wasn't entirely serious when I posted), so I suppose I deserved it.
- - - -
I was listening to Thomas Campbell when he touched on death re: information. He said something along the lines of:
"In information systems, dying means you end up with no information. It dissolves. It loses it's order, structure, meaning and significance."
I agree and so I think you're analogy with the CD is good. That said, one might argue that some of the information contained within the vessel (human or otherwise) is transferred to the environment during it's life with the legacy being stored in memory somehow. Thus, there is some essence of continuity for the information (still on the same plane though).
Then, if we were interested in hypotheticals (which we probably aren't...), one might conceive of the ability to image the human brain/body (as a CD is burned) and inject it into a virtual reality, thus producing consciousness (albeit virtual). Depending on your definition of consciousness, this may represent a transcendence of death. Point being that if the CD is burned prior to being smashed, the music may continue on (as pointed out by falcon). An important difference, I'd argue, is that this continuity is on another plane (subjectively, for the cloned consciousness/information system), as the entity would exist, for all intents and purposes, quite separate from our realm. That is, until it understood the nature of its existence/being and managed to communicate/interact with our realm. BUT, that's just a hypothetical and I don't know of its possibility or likelihood and thus its relevance. I only mentioned it because I recently read Permutation City by Greg Egan (cool book!).
Quote:
Memories said: Consciousness is a property of an active brain, and when you die, your consciousness ceases to exist.
I suppose I agree with this, although I think there's a little more to it. I tend to think of consciousness as a field which animates matter (in different ways, depending on the chemistry). There's an intelligence to this field which drives evolution. Nature, as a novelty conserving engine (as McKenna would put it), is the means by which this field evolves. When we 'die', 'our' consciousness (that is our unique, individuated point of observation and perception as a result of an active human brain) and our identity is indeed all but lost; although it has contributed to the overall field and as part of that field will re-emerge within the material universe once more, though not necessarily in human form (perhaps not even within our universe *shrug*), as an agent and as part of the strategy for the evolution of the field.
The above may not be strictly measurable, but I don't think it's quite merely a spiritual belief. As a theoretical model I think it fits the data well. Anyone, please point out where it's off though.

What about quantum entanglement or "spooky action at a distance" ?
Quote:
Subatomic particles do it. Now the observation that groups of brain cells seem to have their own version of quantum entanglement, or "spooky action at a distance", could help explain how our minds combine experiences from many different senses into one memory.
Previous experiments have shown that the electrical activity of neurons in separate parts of the brain can oscillate simultaneously at the same frequency – a process known as phase locking. The frequency seems to be a signature that marks out neurons working on the same task, allowing them to identify each other. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18371-brain-entanglement-could-explain-memories.html

information cannot be destroyed ever.
The theory I like to stand behind is that the universe is consciousness spread over a possibly infinite space. When life is created this consciousness is pin pointed and allows for experience to happen. When we die awareness can remain intact but it is spread back through which it came, the universe!
check out this video, I liked it!

It's an appealing belief.

Most people would like to think awareness remains intact some way or another

I think you posted this in the wrong forum, friend
-------------------- In old age Diogenes stopped a veteran and asked, “What were you in the last war?”
“Oh, I was only a private,” replied the veteran.
Diogenes rocked as if about to fall. “Ye gods!” he gasped. “At last!” Then after catching his breath he blew out his lantern and went home.
