Are there any science minded atheists who have experienced spirits or entities on a psychedelic in here? I never have even on level 4 and 5 trips. If I was anticipating seeing them or had healing intentions maybe I would have.

Yupppp.
I was very atheist before my DMT trips.
I still don't believe religion is beneficial at all, and I don't believe the entities I've been in contact with were gods, I believe them to be higher beings, living in higher dimensions. On higher frequencies.
I think that when we die your consciousness will undergo some sort of metamorphism or transform into something much more complex than anything that we could comprehend, or even put into language.

Absolutely. I was a hard core atheist before becoming Buddhist (which is still basically atheist ) about the time I got into mushrooms seriously. The spirits are real but they have little to do with orthodox (i.e. patriarchal church dominated) religions. They just are what they are, but what they are is undeniable.
You want to just try to open up to them while tripping. There's a kind of mental trick you have to learn or stumble on - hyperspace is orthogonal to our ordinary dimensions, but when you bend your mind just "right" you can access it. Anytime actually, but it's much easier to learn how with the stimulus of the mushrooms. For that I recommend high doses, they will take you there whether or not you know where it is you're really going.

Then you are not really atheist

I meant to imply that he does believe in gods if he believes they are higher beings
Higher beings=god
I cant think of any other perfect way to define a god other than "higher being"

That's about what i think very similar, i feel like we're not supposed to know what happens when we die, thats why no one truly knows and its definitely something that cant be put into human language .. I almost feel like our conciousness meshes back into the everything the intangible matter not being destroyed or created

I read it as he was an atheist, then had some dmt trips where he saw higher entities and thus no longer is an atheist. Not that he believed in them as an atheist.

Yeah i read it wrong. My bad
Im just saying though in general that if you believe in higher beings then you believe in God of some sort

I sort of accept all religion at its base, but follow none. I have always heard of people interacting with spirits/entities or whatever you want to call it, but never had myself either. Would be cool if it did happen, wouldn't be disappointed if not though, psychedelics help me be more comfortable with myself, more grateful of life and connect better with my emotions

Large doses=better chances of entity contact

God damn i miss dmt. I need to grow some balls and smoke it again

I was an atheist before I ever tripped. After tripping I had to rethink the whole thing and I started making all kinds of theories in my mind about what/who/where God is. As decades passed, my belief in God and my love and fascination with nature has steadily increased.
BUT - I have never believed in religion. I've been exposed to a lot of it in my family and my wife's family but it doesn't appeal to me one bit. I hate how people seem to connect believing in God to taking part in religion, like there's no in-between. I'm sure there are tons of people out there just like me - they believe in God but are not religious.

I have....These days I don't identify myself as an atheist (not religious or a firm "believer" either), but I'm still scientifically/logically minded, and very skeptical of things. I have always been.
I came into this world with a cold/hard/scientifically/logically mind and have always been skeptical of things...So much so that I literally never believed in Santa Clause or any of those sorts of things as a kid, I never did. The whole story of Santa never made logical sense to me, even as a toddler...and when I was really young and going to church with grandparents, I never believed in any of the religious/God non-sense, even as far back as a 3 & 4 year old I remember being doubtful and skeptical of it all, I had tons of questions and the answers I was given didn't satisfy me....and I found it really weird that so many people believed this stuff with out doubt.
So yea, I've always been a skeptic and scientifically minded....But even with out psychedelics I have encountered entities and other bizarre "phenomena", during things like sleep paralysis and some out of body experiences that I've had catalyzed by SP.
Having such direct experiences/encounters while not on a drug, and having quite a handful of encounters while on DMT (a few on mushrooms), has totally cracked open a different view of "reality" for me.

For a brief moment I once thought an 'outside force' was influencing my stream of conscience but after 5 minutes I started questioning it and realised it was my own subconscious influences.
I also found out about Erwin Schrodinger's concept of negative entropy which for me was a better alternative than the concept of Karma. Basically it states that an organism stores negative entropy for the span of it's lifetime.
P.S. That was on 8g (jesus dose)
