PrimalSoup said: I have strong evidence of anomalous physics occurring during around and within trips. Other people have shared similar occurrences. Synchronicity, for instance, is not a delusion, it's definitely real. (Or if it's a delusion, somehow it manages to affect completely sober people in the company of people who are tripping. My reading of the odds for that indicate that the effects are quite real, even if inexplicable.) It's very common to deny these things. I did that myself for many years, even as I was actively searching for more of the kinds of things I'd already experienced occasionally. One wants very badly to be wrong about this, as it tears a huge rift in ordinary understanding. Unfortunately - or fortunately, depending - the phenomena are all too real, and not capable of being dismissed. It becomes knowledge that you just have to live with after a while.
PS
I will take a read through the articles. I too have experienced synchronicity so intense...take my cynicism with a grain of salt: it is definitely a protective mechanism for me to dismiss anything strange in the mind as bullshit and/or coincidence. Thank you for bearing with me

It made me think that it's a pity there is no god to have that ultimate perspective. I still believed that belief sets generally came from anchient people who didn't have science to begin to explain the world around them. But, for the first time, I understood spirituality a little bit more.
This is a limited viewpoint, but dualistic thought always is - "no god to have that perspective" - the seer and the seen are not seperated, they don't actually exist as separate things. Do you really think there is no more to reality than what our ordinary senses perceive?

Some people believe in astrology. Others believe in technology. Some people believe in all those "ologies". But I believe in swordfish.

Just 2 days ago I was going into my first trip thinking of seeing stuff breathe, better colors etc prepared to be "tripped" out.
Soon realized tripping wasn't about seeing cool visuals at all. For me it was 90% feeling. After being a complete 180 of what I thought it was going to be, there's no other reason for me to not be spiritual about tripping ever again.
