computer geeks take on the psychoactive induced experience

I used to be a huge computer geek....I dabbled from setting up my first home lan before I hit teenage years and then moved onto programing in high school...I later found marijuana, the first time I tried it, I liked it but kept my priorities straight...something must have intrigued me because 6 months later I tried it again and really started to notice how similar the entire structure of it all was related to the databases, networks, values ect ect of the computer world...
LSD made me extremely aware of the higher level of 'mechanics' or programming which I believe are different sets of values... I tried to access the higher level of programming only to realize what I was doing was impossible...I saw the grid though...thats what this is...its a grid of universes....so complex, so incredible...

It is a miracle of a tool IME.
We have evolved past Industry and labor into technology and creative living. It unlocks our highest potentials in this realm. Damn the fool bastard Neanderthals who keep it locked up.

I watched my mind defrag...I watched the pieces fall apart and I put them back together...every nerve was touched...every door was seen...stimulated stimuli...beautiful awareness no fear no control but full control
this energy is governed by laws but soon we will find how little really restricts this complex energy...

coming from the computer processing world, your analogy is stilted towards von neumann core processors with logic circuitry and memory addressing - the grid seems related.
you will need to sidestep that limited view altogether to find useful metaphors: holographic memory, sequential image and scaled image processing, abstraction, motif, cadence, distributed & motif-associated data linkage vs file based sorage and indexed-recall of files. a nearly turbocharged model of consciousness in which the output is fed back into the input.
IMO, the grid you are detecting is feedback

Thus mine have bunnies, squirrels and trees in it.
I also like computer hardware. My old systems were cooled with a reserator system, but now I actually need some chipset cooling I have gone back to quiet fans.
Someone needs to make an electromagnet/ioniser ring that will push air like a fan, but of course, be way quiet because the only moving part is air.

Actually, after my first few times smoking pot, my best description of being high was that is was "like running life in debug mode".
I'm not a programmer, either.

lol well i think Leary said the same kinda thing when he discovered computers after having LSD. I was into computers back in the day but now i could care less cause i have the mind computer, tho i do have visions of random stuff as well its not all just patterns and grids.

lsd isn't nearly the final answer in realizing and restructuring the program
we have forgotten what one can realize in the dark room

The concepts seem interesting, and under the right circumstances I'm sure I'd try it, but I REALLY don't care for the terminology on that web page, and the lack of sources, grammar, and general believability irk me.
Something about new-age philosophy with random scientific terms thrown in bothers me.

LSD is by no means the answer...I believe you could take 1000 mics and still not have a clue...its all in the mind...the substances simply allow me to focus in on new nerve endings being stimulated..new thoughts, profound ones at that...
I would think ones life would affect anyones trip and experiences...for some reason the road has taken me here...These tools are pretty amazing but the mind is even more intriguing....
Many answers incomprehensible to the current human mind is.
edit: if anyone is interested...google "sensory deprivation"
