Anonymous #17 said: I don't know. Why do certain combinations of noises trasmit information in the form of language? That's just how it works.
The noises that constitute language are arbitrary. The fact that we use the word "chicken" to describe a chicken should never be confused with the notion that that particular word has some sort of universal value to it. Language is relative...and the proof is in the pudding. The fact that hundreds of millions of people know what I mean when I say "chicken" is easily proved. The fact you believe aliens are transmitting information to you can't be proved. Moreover I would describe your psychedelic experiences as just as relative as the use of the word "chicken." Its just a metaphor used to describe what is indescribale...in your situation the level of conciousness that you reach when you combine the drugs you are talking about. What you are being visited by aren't aliens...they are hallucinations. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't talk to them and take them seriously. On the contrary, they are your subconcious manifesting itself in an avatar that your mind can interact with.
But as the Hindu saying goes "never for a second believe that Krishna is manifest."
Quote: As above, so below. There is no difference between what is happening internally and what is happening externally, since internal subjective experience and ultimate reality mirror each other holographically. It's not 100% external, and it's not 100% internal. I have plenty of good evidence.
So you're telling me you can alter physical reality with the power of your mind? If you can make a sandwich appear in my hand in the next 7 hours, I'll believe you. Until then, it just defies all common sense.
Quote: The aliens even put messages in patterns in numbers I see all the time and secret messages from pop culture shows that confirm it. You just can't see it cause you're so square.
what makes me square? The fact that I don't agree with you, or the fact that I don't watch pop culture shows?
Quote: If the aliens direct me to perform scientific experiments, and those experiments solve an unresolved scientific, mathematical or medical problem, would that count as evidence that they were real?
It would I guess stand as proof that you are a scientific genius, but I would still stand by my interpretation that the aliens only exist in your mind as hallucinations or manifestations of some deeper level of your conciousness.
I'm all for psychedelic experimentation and opening the mind to inexplicable experiences...It's just that I temper my frequent trips into my own psyche with a little common sense. If I only sense a certain presence while I am on the influence of a drug, it stands to reason that the presence is merely a result of that drug. If I can discover that presence while on the influence of no drugs whatsoever and in the middle of the deepest drug induced experience, it stands to reason that presence is a universal constant. So far in my experiments the only thing that is constant under the influence of anything and under all circumstances is love
