I've suspected for a short while that psychedelics are primarily frequency modulators.

"Psilocybin has been shown to modulate neural activity and frequency oscillations in the brain... [] ...This effect is characterised by a decrease in power in low-frequency bands, such as delta, theta, and alpha, and a trending increase in gamma oscillatory power."

"In terms of EEG, psychedelics have been found to increase broadband signal entropy and show band-specific changes in spectral power"

With mushrooms, I suspect (can't find any supporting literature or evidence that it has been examined) that different strains will have a different range of frequency bands they induce for different experiences, and the higher the dose, the more in tune with that band of frequencies you feel.

I think these experiences aren't a shortcut to anything, but it can offer different perspectives that help us gain understanding faster.

The guy in that video you posted the other week was intimating similar things with regards to consciousness in general.

Hamerhoff, right? Yeah, he in fact mentioned that same thing in that discussion, about psychedelics modulating frequency, and that was exactly what I had been thinking. I have been messing around with them for the purpose of trying to understand what they are doing, and that was the conclusion I was drawing from my experiences.

I've approached this topic from so many angles, and they all seem to be coherent with the principles of everything being light and frequency based (matter , conciousness, etc.), and magnetism (the toroidal geometry) being the 'glue' that holds it all together in this reality.

It's certainly interesting stuff. He mentioned a certain protein (That i can't remember the name of) that's in our DNA and the way it behaves at certain frequencies, it's of course, affected by psychedelics too, but he believes that it's a key indicator of how our consciousness perceives things.

I think it all adds up, the more I look and understand, the more it makes sense as an explanation.

I have been having a lot of synchronicity with this specific topic, and I don't think it's coincidental. I stumbled on some information regarding ultrasound stimulation of microtubules for improving cognitive function and reversing neurodegeneration. Microtubules are theorized by Penrose-Hamerhoff to be what manifest conciousness, it was the first I had heard of this theory. Then, within a day or two, in a largely unrelated discussion with Bob Greenyer, he brings up Penrose-Hamerhoff and goes into detail on it.

love it.

i think you're right

kind of been thinking a lot about the dan winter stuff in relation to music. and analog synthesisers. its all fucking cool

I listened to a space he did this week and it kind of blew me away because it is very much where I have been directing my energy lately, and it makes a lot of sense (though his websites are a hot mess of information, lol).

I had vaguely heard of him up previously, but he's got a lot of interesting things to say. I think his understanding and explanation of gravity is interesting, and coherent, though I still need to put in a lot more time to completely understand it.

lol yeah he has more domain names than nvk 😂

Sovereign Being 10mo ago

🤣 🤣 🤣

I've watched 2 or 3 discussions with them and there are constantly random .coms he's throwing into the mix. LOL

kyle 10mo ago

haha i admired it 😂 why not. im gonna start registering domain names all day long for all my terrible idea..... wait. i already do that....

Stoned ape theory anyone?

Sovereign Being 10mo ago

I like it as an idea, but I don't think consciousness was something that evolved as he (or Dennis) suggested. It's quite specific in how it manifests, it's a bit like suggesting fire evolved.

Tough to say, however, I can see the argument they part of the human story is that something exogenous contributed. Lots of unknown variables

Sovereign Being 10mo ago

Yeah I agree that there is intent behind our design and function.
