How would you interpret this event...?
    #21958813 - 07/18/15 12:08 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

So my brother has a pretty interesting experience he's had on mushrooms... he ate about an 8th and at some point during the trip he was looking off the reflection of a mirror out some window of our parent's bathroom, and he had some vision of being in some place with very bright artistic tiles and a window that overlooked an ocean.

Well about 2 years after this mushroom experience, my brother was in Spain traveling with his girlfriend. He then entered the place they were staying at, went over to the window, and then had essentially a flashback and realized that he was in the exact same room with those distinct colorful tiles that he had glimpsed into 2 years prior on the mushroom trip. It was if the mushrooms allowed him to glimpse into his future timeline for a moment, and then that moment happened later on - a sort of precognition.

What else could possibly explain this?

Coincidence, false memory, self-fulfilling prophecy, etc. If I'm wrong and you can prove it, there's a million bucks waiting for you: http://web.randi.org/the-million-dollar-challenge.html

or maybe he was in the future when he saw it and what he was seeing was actually the past?...

so many ways to interpret it, my friend..

he could be right tho

but tell him he might want to keep it to himself or they;ll send him off to the looney bin

Confabulation

After seeing the window in Spain, your brother then altered his memory of his mushroom trip to match.  Confabulation happens all the time and the person it happens to cannot tell the difference between their previous truer memory, and the new, slightly different one.   

The brain does not store memory like a computer.  Each time you remember something your synaptic pathways fire in a particular way and your brain creates that memory again.  In this way your memories are like a game of telephone.  And each time you remember them, there is another chance for it to be altered in some way.

I know what a confabulation is... but he has very good and detailed memory of things, especially art because he's an artist.

He was in the room at Spain and then felt a very strange thing take over, making him feel like he had already been there. So he started to look at the place and it was the same tiles and everything... and, he was sober in Spain.

Yes, we must toss out everything we have ever learned about neurology and psychology and discard the millions of similar events in which people were shown to have been mistaken and instead opt for magic! :cookiemonster:

No, I was essentially just wondering if psychedelics could essentially show us glimpses into future life events... but yeah, probably just a confabulation/false memory.

I've had a similar experience:

In a dream, I was walking on a sidewalk of a steep road. To my right, there were "tall" houses. When I looked to the left, there was a brick building being built in an empty lot. I wondered what it was going to be, then tripped on a lifted edge of the sidewalk, and woke up.

Many years later, I was in a small town, walking on a sidewalk of a steep road. To my right, there were two-story houses. When I looked to the left, there was a brick-built police station. I stopped and thought, "that's a weird deja vu thing". When I started walking again, I tripped on a lifted part of the sidewalk and fell down.

This was before mushrooms. :undecided:

Ime they produce delusions of grandeur.  Nothing made me feel more special and believe in a greater future than the psychedelic experience.  After many trips over these past 8 years I see the hubris of believing in the PE.  It's all smoke n mirrors and not anything more imo.

Do you really not believe it is possible to understand what is and isn't during psychedelic experience in general? Assuming you were speaking about your own experiences, for example; what would you mean by a general paradigm of PE?

I think generally people like to hedge a bit to talk about subjective experiences. I don't know what to call it. I think probably it will be a lot more significantly something between the OP and his brother, than the OP and us, for instance. Probably, speculating about someone else's experience one way or another, in various degrees of removal is dogmatic in one sense or another.

Hubris is a pretty general term. I wonder how well it refers to considerations of what people can and can't know in modern epistemelogical discussions...

When I think of hubris I think of Homeric heroes yelling someone down across the battlefield. Probably it was about disembowling and eating someone's liver for dinner, with poetic glosses.

So what is "hubristic" about psychedelic experience, or discussion of them? It seems more like an edgy and pretensious way to hedge one's personal views through personal indignation, rather than anything really descriptive, in general, unless you're some kind of grecophile.

The eyes which look down are not only culturally speaking, of a monistic shame God, they are also pretty much of an equivocally dead God to our more recent present. This is just epistemelogical discussion where people get emotionally vested in mostly ironic ways.

These are "views from nowhere", as Thomas Nagal put it.

Sounds like a precognitive event. No need to reduce the coincidence of perceptions to less robust hypotheses just because they fit into some non-parapsychological framework. Precognition, psychokinesis (overwhelming emotions having an effect on electronics) and telepathy are things I have experienced. Dr. Bob Brier's influence on me in college (he worked and published with J.B. Rhine at University of North Carolina) helped me weather the poo-poos of those pedestrians  who simply never experienced these functions.

Weird stuff happens and when you try to come up with explanations, you get things such as time travel, telepathy, psychokinesis, aliens etc.

This is case and point.  I think a good amount of psychedelic drug users have experienced this stuff.  When you talk about the experience, it sounds self-righteous and delusional imo.  I'm not saying it's wrong to speak of, but you can't logically explain it and when you try you can't help but reek of specialness, even if that's not your intention.  The experience is too vast.  You say a whole bunch of gibberish and unprovable things that serve nothing except your own sense of self.

And now you know why Markos has me On Ignore and I have no one On Ignore. It is called fear. You must agree or else.

Subjective phenomenon are evidence for their existence, not The Existence. I think studying them tells us more about ourselves than it does the outside world.

You say a whole bunch of gibberish and unprovable things that serve nothing except your own sense of self.

The word "gibberish" derives from Geber, the Latinized version Jabir ibn Hayyan, a famous alchemist whose writing few understood. People like you. Hence, anything that was Geber-ish became "gibberish." You are no doubt younger than me, and equally predicable, you're preoccupied with your identity, status, and personal importance. Otherwise you would not mention specialness. There is no specialness in having experienced Psi-functions. You just happen to be inexperienced, which is perfectly fine, but unfortunately you also evidence being threatened by someone who has experienced things that you haven't. I have also travelled deeply into the heart of Nigeria and visited Yorubaland, not that you envy that experience, but that IS something that you might do if you were so disposed. I had no control over my parapsychological experiences, they were spontaneous. I know people who are connected to all manner of famous people, so mentioning a single famous professor may appear like mere name-dropping to you, but it is a perfectly valid aspect of my personal development. If I want to express my specialness, it will be in the context of my profession, not in some pathetic attempt to impress late adolescents on a public forum. As to my experience Psi phenomena, way more common than you are aware of, you should really refrain from posts like this. It makes YOU look bad, not me.
