The triple points of existence, conundrum explained.
it's 6am, i just had this dream of flying over a beautiful misty forest, much like the daintree forests in queensland(?).
the triple point of existence conundrum was very clear to me.
we are all god, sentient, and neither at the same time.
take your friend, or a rock.
they are god. meaning inherently whether you believe in god or not you most likely sense there is something divine in it, something greater going on there, with your friend, with a rock, with a dolphin, with Esso/Exxon even.
they are also elements of sentience. meaning certain things have elements of a perception of sentience. the rock and whether you believe it or not the dolphin may not be sentient, but there is definitely a perception of sentience. let's say humans being sentient we can perceive, okay, this is a rock, formed by igneous or sedimentary processes, or, okay, this rock has atoms and subatomic particles. sentience perception is easiest when it comes to other people, one is like okay, this dude, or girl, is like, sentient, we are sentient, we can interact in independent but connected/sharing ideas ways.
now. here's the catch. we are neither of the above all at the same time.
1. for example, how is the rock God? what the fuck is god doing as a rock? or how can god be part of the evil conglomerate called Esso/Exxon? when your best friend fucks your girlfriend/boyfriend/ fucks you over how can they be god? and why would god be a little fish that 'lives' and swirls endlessly in your fishbowl?
2. next. how is rock sentient? it kinda just sits there. how is a fish sentient? it kinda just goes round and round. how is mankind sentient? you or i or george bush certainly do and have done things that aren't very sentient, god like, or intelligent sometimes.
so hence i have come to this conclusion of our current state of existence:
we are in the triple state of existence conundrum: god, sentience, and neither
of course in the dream when i was flying over the forest this was all so super clear to me.
yes i am on medication for bipolar disorder. rivopram, seroquel, xanax, lamictal, cipram, in a various regiment. but before being diagnosed with bipolar disorder i have always had a mystical/ wierd/ interested in transcendence tendency.

The Trinity.
Everything is three: passive, active and reconciling.
It's electrical
cool. what are the equivalents to my comparison?
hm... god is passive, sentience is active, and neither is reconciling?

If you wanna fly while awake, sunil, try ayahuasca (the dreamer) or San Pedro (the stalker). Met a weird guy in South America ... long story ... who had gone down there to take this stuff with a shaman, and he described how he could fly and brush the tops of the trees with his fingertips and, well, a lot of rambling about God and such. But it seemed pretty clear to him, at least.

Heh. Given my current mental "illness" I have to "clean up my act" (no job no girlfriend no money my family is really worried) so I won't be taking any kind of Shamanic stuff anytime soon

I can't explain it better than the Legal Status and Legality sections of the two Wiki articles that I posted.
Of course, the guy I was talking to strongly urged me to only try them under the guidance of a shaman.
This was 8 years ago, but the guy gave me this info:
books about these "plant medicines"
Wizard of the Upper Amazon
The Way of the Shaman
The Cosmic Serpent
And I'd throw in there, as if segovius hadn't already read all of them, Carlos Casteneda's series.
There are websites where you can get in touch with shamans so that they can prepare the stuff for you and all. I believe his shot of Ayahuasca cost $1450, though he got a huge reduction for some reason.. But he said that ever since he took the Ayahuasca he's been unplugged from the Matrix, and has never thought the same way again (this was b4 the movie, but you get me...)

Yes, yes....... in christian terms my dream was actually about god(god), the holy spirit(neither god nor sentience) and christ(sentience).

They make them ritual specialists, shamans, sangomas, and use their special gifts and insights to the material benefit of everyone in the camp; they don't see them as 'ill' at all.
Your first post reads like a textbook shamanic account: flight, an understanding of the interconnectedness of 'creation' and the desire to share it with others. So I say 'thanks', and I thought your post was fucking brilliant.
That's the other thing: in shamanic cultures you get trained. Someone will be on hand to teach you which roots to grind and sniff up your nose or which fungus to eat, and when, and they'll have a few hundred generations of accumulated knowledge on which to draw.
Oh, and the training's not necessarily what we'd call... fun.

I agree, drugs are bad.

Bad drugs. Naughty drugs! They need a damn good spanking.
Perhaps it's the "abuse, or even the inappropriate use of drugs" that is bad?
Drugs are fun.
Drugs are fun, too.
