Ayahuasca And Zero Temptation
So I’ve heard quite a lot about Ayahuasca, the DMT like drug that is taken by many psychedelic adventurists the world over in order to get trippy on a sunbeam or whatever else it is such people do.
More power to them, but for me, I think that I am the exact type of person who should avoid such things, lest I mutate into some kind of monster and start salivating uncontrollably while trying to devour not only my own face but the faces of the many lizard people who will inevitably be torturing me while on this journey.
The state Ayahuasca puts a user in to is quite similar to the same state our brains are in while sleeping but with the exception of the prefrontal cortex being active still. This means that essentially its like dreaming while still retaining the ability to think rationally.
And that makes no sense when you think about it. We can think rationally yet the people still seem to have experiences that are wholly irrational. Aliens, lizard people, Mother Ayahuasca among others. Great adventures that lead to enlightenment or terrible spirals into hell like torture.
The most striking thing for me is that there are many cases of people reporting nearly identical beings or experiences across demographics and even years by people who have never heard of the drug prior.
Some basic states are that in studies into the drug and depression, over 80% reported lessened symptoms that persisted for greater than 6 months. However, it’s also true in another study that over 50% report intense “personal death” experiences, without increased psychopathology.
So what I gather from this is that it’s a dream like state in which rational thinking is present meaning the experience will also be retained afterwards that carries with it a pretty high risk of a profound experience happening.
My main hangup is the dream aspect of it. I rarely remember any dreams of mine and the bits and pieces I do are terrible. Couple that with my constant thrashing about, flailing and cursing and it would seem that my dream states are already disruptive enough that my mind blocks them out from my waking self.
So there is a significant chance that whatever has been hidden these 30 years or so will be brought to life under the influence of such a drug.
Thanks but no thanks.
