In fact, I come to undoubtedly know that my entire existence – at least the human one – has been nothing but a dream within a dream, within a dream, within a dream… All at once there’s an overall feeling of ‘strangness’ about my human experience and my entire existence in general. “Existence… what a bizarre concept!” I say to myself. Everything feels very strange now. ‘Existing’ has become a strange thing. “Indeed, “I” am a strange ‘thing’… My life, my friends, and family have been, and are, nothing but thoughts within my imagination…”

Now, almost all cases of drug addiction and/or deaths involve the use of hard-drugs and narcotics such as crack-cocaine, heroin, morphine, etc. But this is not the case with psychedelics such as LSD, 2C-B, 2C-E, 2C-T-&, MDMA, psilocybin, mescaline, etc. In fact, there has never been any direct correlation between their proper use i.e., adequate dosages, purity of content, fluid intake, etc., and death! Contrary to the negative propaganda furnished by the sensationalist-driven media, responsible use of these substances is not more dangerous thatn the improper use of any other controlled and legal substance. However, drugs such as tobacco and alcohol – which have been medically proven to cause irreversibly internal body damage, including death – continue to remain legal and are protected by our laws. Where is the logic in that?

This taught me that everything is a manifestation of that which simply is. Fortunately or unfortunately – depending on how you wish to view it, for there is no wrong or right way of doing so – this ‘is’ is something that must be experienced. And when you come to experience, ‘it’, you will come to find what every mystic throughout millennia has found. Which is that this ‘isness’ is you. Moreover, this ‘you’ is a state of being; and also of non-being.

Therefore, the only way to learn anything, anything at all – and I mean really learn it – is by studying and experiencing it, and not simply by repeating or reciting someone else’s thoughts and acquired knowledge and ideas about it. Then and only then, can we honestly and truthfully say that we know and understand something.

The Hypnagogic State. While studying the different types of altered states, I came across the subject of hypnagogic imagery. This type of image construction is not the self-deliberate creation of images one performs when one is daydreaming or visualizing. Rather, it is a spontaneous and non-controlled projection of images from the subconscious mind. These images are seen in the mind’s eye or imagination.

While performing this type of brainwave research she also found the same awakened mind pattern in gifted musicians while composing, artists while painting, mathematicians solving difficult equations, and even in scientists making a breakthrough! Apparently, this pattern of brainwave activity was not only related to mystical, psychic and transcendent states, but is also associated with any highly creative and mental endeavor.
