Taking psychedelics made me more of a materialist. If I can change my consciousness with chemicals, it logically follows that my consciousness is made of chemicals. :shrug:

I figured this out the first time I saw somebody get drunk, because I was raised with an adequately functioning theory of mind. I was six. I continued to grow after that revelation.

No. Disagreeing with MushroomTrip makes you irrational.

And never known your face
All this time I've missed you

Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

Making up nonsense does not count as "growing," just so you're aware.

He is respected more for his art than for his theories, which are total bunk.  It sounds to me like Alzheimer's overtook him at the end of his life.  That's not a state of consciousness most people would describe as desirable.

Why do you assume that, just because I was uninterested in and disagreed with his propositions, this means I didn't "get it"? Can you please actually answer this question?

There is no solid evidence which suggests that there is a such thing as a "subconscious"--there may be an unconscious mind, but those two are not the same thing.

Who cares if he went deep into his dream states? Why should I find his dream states interesting?

Um, who gives a shit?

not to mention, psychedelics don't change your consciousness, they change qualities that exist within your consciousness.  In many cases, what we think of as the psychedelic experience is just many of our minute-to-minute patterns getting blasted out and we can see the pure consciousness much more easily.  But then, it's a drug, so shit's all wonky on top of that and there's visuals.  So you can come back and describe the concrete qualities of the trip, even though the mind blowing thing is your own consciousness which it makes very apparent.
