Whether we agree or not, I think you made good arguments for your positions and stood by them very rationally. I can certainly appreciate someone who can agree to disagree. Thanks for the input!

Good job keeping your cool & standing your ground. You make points I'd have neither the words nor the patience for & I know exactly where you're coming from. Seems you're critics are defending an abstraction on principle but unwilling to consider that there are follower types in the world that regurgitate what they're told without further inquiry or questioning. & that's what is at hand in the discussion. Seems to be over a lot of peoples' heads.

I truly appreciate having someone like you who completely understands, and on top of that who also is willing to make valuable contributions to the thread. I have gotten pretty frustrated with this; if I had known I'd have to do this much work just correcting people's errors, I probably wouldn't have posted originally. Whatever.
Anyway, thanks.

In reply to the original post, this sounds a lot like the theory of the "Noosphere." Basically it states that all consciousness, from humans, animals, even plants -- that of Earth itself -- is linked into a collective, unified consciousness that underlies or envelops the entire biosphere. Many mystics and psychonauts have reported tuning into this network, and sensing a unity that exists at a more fundamental level than the everyday, one which comprises all the consciousness of Earth. For example, you could be at a (good) party and observe that all of the partygoers are behaving according to a rhythm that is somehow common to everyone and is normally beneath the surface. Everyone is him- or herself, but there is a current guiding everyone's activity, and all are in some kind of active union. It is very difficult to describe, and hard to see.
I really liked what you had to say there. It always ends up being this really huge ineffable theme that permeates the psychedelic experience for me personally.
