With LSD, when you close your
eyes, you can go exploring deep into the unknown terrain of the rest
of the brain and it's a strange, but somehow familiar journey. There
is something, somehow, faintly familiar about it, from a distant distant
past. It sure is familiar because you are going back to that tripping
state of consciousness that you were born with. You can REMEMBER and
this remembering of who you really are and your full identity is a religious
experience.
If we each have a godlike brain with infinite computer capacity, then
is it so absurd to think that it's possible that somewhere in that infinite
brain, there is a stored memory of your birth and the 9 months that
came before? With infinite capacity, as stated earlier, the brain can
remember everything that has ever happened to anyone or anything. It's
all in the brain. The whole history of anything or everything is part
of that 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999+ percent
of the brain that we don't even know exists and it means that, while
tripping, it's possible for anything from any past to come before your
closed eyes. It can also be any combination of things from different
time periods, all mixed up. You can see something that no other person
has ever seen or it may be that every person on every trip sees many
things that no one else has ever seen. The reason this can be is because
the brain is unlimited. LSD opens you up to the full entire brain, making
it possible for any part or aspect of it to come into consciousness
or your conscious attention. If there is an infinity of possibility
as to what you can now see, it makes perfect sense to say that a person
might see things that no one else has ever seen before.
Stanislav Grof wrote a book entitled Beyond
the Brain. Here is what he says on pages 44-45 about the brain
including everything: "Many transpersonal experiences involve events
from the microcosm and macrocosm-realms that cannot be directly reached
by human senses-or from periods that historically precede the origin
of the solar system, of the planet earth, of living organisms, of the
nervous system and of Homo sapiens. These experiences clearly suggest
that, in a yet unexplained way, each of us contains the information
about the entire universe or all of existence, has potential experiential
access to all its parts and in a sense, is the whole cosmic network,
as much as he or she is just an infinitesimal part of it, a separate
and insignificant biological entity."
An interesting experiment would be for a person to get a vision of their
parents' wedding and give details of what they see. Would the description
of the details be accurate and correctly tell it as it actually was?
It's too bad that experiments like this can't be done because, as far
as I know, a person cannot make their brain give them a vision of their
parents' wedding or any other particular vision. The theory here is
that if someone took LSD and with the eyes closed, got a vision of their
parents' wedding, they would see it exactly as it happened, down to
the last detail, including seeing a crumb on a table at the reception
and that crumb was really there. It can be that the people there never
saw the crumb and now, on your LSD trip, you can see it. A person would
be able to describe it all as if they were there because their brain,
indeed, was there. We all have that same ultimate brain, and that brain
is everywhere, takes everything in and with LSD, we can get to all that
information.
