Guerr, we don't see dolphins every day, but here's two scenarios: 1) You will receive 10 million dollars if you can go and show me a dolphin that I can see, touch, learn about 2) You will receive 10 million dollars if you can go and show me a DMT machine elf that I can see, touch, learn about Which would you choose? Surely number 1, and doesn't that say something? You say your friend's mind was shielding him against certain facts to maintain consensus reality . . . you know, in all my love and adoration of psychedelic experience, it still is very evident to me that sometimes crazy shit just happens and it doesn't mean a thing. I saw diamonds coming out of the shower head instead of water on LSD; but I'm not going to claim that when we take LSD, water is transmuted to diamonds in our shower heads! And yet when we perceive "entities" on psychedelics, somehow their existence must therefore be more real than all the other hallucinations we witness, simply because we perceive "entitiness" to their phenomena. I submit that this is just another characteristic of the hallucination; perhaps they are green, perhaps they are round, and perhaps they are entities. But this is all still under the umbrella of "Shit i saw while tripping that should by no means be taken literally". On a high dose of 2c-b I saw black tentacles coming out of the floor and snaking up the wall in a kind of animalistic sensual and yet alien caressing. Those tentacles must be thought of as "entities", because they were not plant, not rock, but animal. In real life, it is intelligence which possesses and moves tentacles, and entities are the only kinds of things which can actively caress. I would never bring a single iota of that experience into the real world in a literal sense; tentacles of what? Of an ACTUAL thing? Of course not. I was on a drug that makes you see all kinds of things, and I saw just one kind of thing, and the kind of thing it was was an entity. This gives absolutely no realness to the tentacles, just ilke seeing floating pink crystals in the air does not mean there are invisible pink crystals that we can study all around us.
If there was some nanotechnology or something which could project images in my mind and I had say 24 hours to find a living dolphin or 24 hours to spot a DMT entity, I'd probably go the DMT route. But given that we don't have access to such technology, I'd go with the Dolphin.
Here is the thing about the experience of both dolphins and psychedelics, Knowledge is of the body. The gene. The generator. The creator. Know thyself.
Go back to your last sane thought Forest Flower you're spending to much time reading the fictions in your mind. You got to get more into the light
