Psychonaut-Scholars Unite! * 1
    #24007010 - 01/13/17 12:15 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Dear fellow psychonauts,

I have recently founded the Mind-Binder Institute. This institute aims to bring together individuals who use (legal) psychedelics in combination with scholarly work. I have been doing psychonaut-scholar work myself for about 2 years, mostly within and around the field of neuropsychology, and have noticed that this practice is not very common among scholars/scientists, nor among psychonauts. The Mind-Binder Institute offers a place to converse with globally-oriented like-minded individuals, to share ideas and inspirations, and eventually to establish psychonautic research at the level of professional academic science.

We are at this point an internet-only organisation (https://www.facebook.com/MindBinderInstitute/). We are currently looking for psychonaut-scholars to help develop this institute. One of the end goals of this institute is to be able to provide scholarships for psychonaut-scholars (possibly through crowd-funding), which will bring this practice into the mainstream.

If you would like to join this endeavour, please send an email to walteredstates43@gmail.com, and don’t forget to follow the Facebook page for updates :wink:

Yours sincerely,
Walter

p.s. Please forgive me if I posted this message in the wrong forum, I wasn't sure in which forum this post would be appropriate, I apologize if this was not the right place.

Relax.  You are trying way too hard.

So are you looking for donors and/or a discussion group?

If it's a discussion you want then here's a random idea I've been working on.

Quote:

It's an abstract sculpture of Plato's Tripartite Soul depicting the anatomical functions of a Triune Brain.
These include the rational brain, the emotional heart and the intuitional gut.
An easier way to remember them is as the Neocortex, the Limbic System and the Basal Ganglia.



With respect in values and gratitude for nature there's no need to be defensive because science proves itself.
The humble laptop is a fine example.

I believe in science, evolution and that an anatomical human sentience resides individually within each of us as the chemical and electrical interactions between our brain, spinal cord, heart, gut and nervous system.

Yeah, ythan say just relax.  He wanted to let you know that you are too uptight.  You really are.  Just relax.  Your theory is weak, you need to  just relax.  Do you have anybody you care about?  Tell them to just relax too.  I think in this modern era of not being threatened by somebody talking about strapping a bomb to their ball sack, stalking for years, and generally being a scary fucker, we should all just relax.  After all, you stalker means best, and can send multiple messages that need to be relayed in a desperate plea to connect.

That's a basic summary of the theory I'm working on, of course it's not the whole thing.. I dunno why it seems to get people so defensive.

Thanks for the advice, indeed relaxing often leads to interesting insights. Thanks for reminding me, I will do some meditations :smile:

Not looking for donors at this point, the institute still needs to be properly established. discussion group would be great, and I always appreciate interesting ideas like the Triune brain hypothesis that you mentioned. It reminds me a bit of some of Leary's writings like his Evolutionary Agents. The Tripartite soul image reminds me a bit of the chakra system. Physical desires could be linked to the lower three (root, sacral, navel), The emotional center could be linked to the heart and maybe also throat chakra in a way, and the logical soul could be linked to the upper (third-eye and crown) chakras. Or something like that :wink:. I'm not super familiar with Freud, I tend to go with the Jungian model which I think is a more general model of the psyche, but I'll check it out.

Do you perhaps have some references? I have Plato's Republic which I haven't gotten around to but will move it up the reading list. Also there seems to be an evolutionary aspect here, any references for that part specifically?

-Walter

It's basically just a reinterpretation of Chakra that stipulates only 3 sensation/energy generating centres in the human body.

Haven't read it, sounds interesting though.

Quote:

The book has found many readers among followers of alternative culture, and discusses the effect of certain psychoactive substances and how these affect the brain, tantric breathing techniques, and other methods and holistic approaches to expanding consciousness. It draws a parallel between the development of one's mind and the development of higher intelligence theorized by biological evolution.

Pretty much the same as my 'pet theory'.
