Bypasses Brain Filter?
    #14575847 - 06/07/11 06:15 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

So on here on shroomery, i have seen more than once someone saying that shrooms bypass your brain filter.

My question is, is that how it really works?
To me it makes alot of sense.

Ive read people saying that it bypasses the filter that we naturally create when we are young, so we see the world a certain way, and that when we do shrooms it breaks down that filter so we are seeing things we would see if we never built that filter.

I just want to know if this is actually the scientific way that shrooms do their magic??

I think this idea stemmed from Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception. It makes a lot of sense to me, though.

I may be completely wrong since I don't remember where I even first heard/read this. But I always thought that shrooms (and many other psychedelics) bind to your serotonin receptors and cause a kind of 'gap' in your sensory perception, and then the reason for hallucinations is because your brain isn't receiving the usual messages so it has to make up images and colors which are what you see. This also explains why mindset is so important to how your trip is going to go, because the hallucinations are basically just your inner mind being projected out for you. This is also why higher doses would get so much more intense because more blockage would mean more of your senses are being replaced by what your brain thinks you should be seeing, and mainly leading to things such as breaking through on dmt where a large majority of your receptors are being blocked so you shave much more vivid hallucinations.

Like I said I may be incorrect, but I do remember reading or hearing this from someone and it honestly does seem pretty reasonable. :shrug:

I heard its not just shrooms, but all psychedelics that "bypass your brains filter" in a way.

The first time I heard it being mentioned was in a documentary about LSD on the History channel.

The way they described it is your brain naturally blocks all the unnecessary things we sense so that we can focus on survival and the essentials.. And psychedelics temporarily unblock our perception so we can view and sense the world as it really is.
