Heres a theory on heaven and hell I compiled from examining some mushrooms trips, salvia trips and dreams I've had.
Hell is a state of mind with more limitations that the state of mind your in now and heaven is a state of mind with less limitations. I've been to both heaven and hell on mushrooms, salvia and in my dreams and even from sleep deprivation.
I'll start with mushrooms. We all know what mushroom paradise is like when your minds opened you suddenly have new understanding of everything you feel limitless and more free than you'd ever been your whole life. Bad trips come in many forms but one of the worst bad trips I've ever had was when I was out in the country and it started lashing rain so I went into the tent even though I knew I couldn't sleep. I was sleeping in the same tent as my brother and he wasn't on shrooms and I let a shitload of mosquitos in the tent on my way in and was too stoned to close the door and I he was joking saying "this is a form of hell" so he got outta the tent and slept in the car. He zipped up the tent on the way out. About 20 minutes later I was hallucinating so badly I couldnt even see the tent at all I wasnt even sure I was in a tent and I badly needed to take a piss so I got up but I couldn't even find the door let alone the zipper. It was a fucked up trip and it felt like I'd died and gone to hell and I couldn't help pondering the thought that what if someday I end up in some weird hell of a universe where I'm stuck in a shitty little space needing to take a piss but I can't and thats what lifes gonna be like for all eternity. How would I get out of it? Its funny now but it was a fucked up thought at the time.
Secondly on salvia I think I smoked myself into the second dimension. In this case it was nothing like hell at all. I couldn't even comprehend the notion of hell but I was definitely severely limited seeing there was only two dimensions. I was thinking so heavily that it didn't bother me at all and I couldn't even remember ever living in the 3rd dimension but what I do know is it worse than the 3 dimensional world I'm living in now. When I sobered up I remembered be grateful that I didn't get stuck in that two dimensional mental world. Heaven on salvia I can't say it was less or more limited but it wasn't physical at all it was a state of mind where I felt like I understood everything and I felt like I was in a place where I had lived for eternity before being born into the 3d world and I didn't want to leave this geometric non physical world. It didn't seem 2 dimensional at all it was as if I was free to transcend all 3 dimensions. It was like heaven.
Thirdly in dreams being in a lucid dream doing whatever the hell I want and practicing altering and shaping the dream is near enough to my idea of heaven. I've had a few hell-like dreams where obviously I'm not lucid at all and I'm stuck in this weird restricted world a million times more limited than the everyday awake world I'm used to. I remember thinking to myself there has to be more to the world than this I remember there being more but I couldn't think about the regular everyday world. There was a blockage in my mind. One dream in particular I'll never forget it because it was so weird. There was a big spike coming out of the ground in the middle of the street and I was attached to the spike as if there was a rope attaching me but there was no rope. I could only walk in circles around this spike at a distance of a few meters.
All that gets me wondering. Maybe when you reach a higher state of mind you can remember all the lower hell-like states of mind you've been in but it doesn't go both ways. When your in a hell-like state of mind you don't remember what its like to be in a higher heaven-like state of mind.
Maybe the reason we're born with no knowledge at all of anything is because we've entered a lower closer to hell state of mind than the one we came from before. Maybe we have to figure a way to remember the higher states of mind so we'll enter them again. Maybe salvias the key to doing that. I've never tried DMT myself but I read alot of reports of people going to places in their mind where they understand everything and they're in a state of timeless bliss. The kind of shit Terence McKenna talks about with the elves that make visible words and sounds.
Just a thought but I think theres a good bit of truth to it.
