Re: What causes bad trips?
From a study from the Netherlands about psychedelics and the brain and what's causing good and bad trips: (1) Higher levels of medial prefrontal cortex glutamate were associated with negatively experienced ego dissolution. This may help explain the paradoxical effect of psilocybin: administered acut...

The brain as a portal to parallel worlds
This is a link to a brief essay about the brain and its access to parallel universes. Parallel universes are only accessible through the mind via the brain in my hypothesis. Our mind always takes the form of an avatar, as in virtual reality worlds when we put on VR glasses. The body in which we appe...

Re: why denying the existence of The Light and The Tunnel among academia?
@Jim Cross: the more the brain is damaged a certain way (f.e. oxygen deprivation) the more we experience these mystical experiences. Bernardo Kastrup wrote an article where he showed that self transcendence correlated with brain impairment. Oxygen deprivation and "pilots undergoing G-force indu...

Re: why denying the existence of The Light and The Tunnel among academia?
Even Bernardo doesn't want to talk about The Light' and 'the Tunnel' among academia. It will be laught at and has no place among this academic envoriment. Yet so many people have seen it. Bernardo talks about 'mind at large', but he doesn't talk about the light for which there are so many eyewitnes...

Re: Cojoined twins: two dissociated alters cojoin to one mind?
Most cojoined twins have separate brains. Can you cite a particular case you are talking about? Also, the corpus callosum isn't the only connection between the hemispheres of the brain. The hemispheres are also connected at the brainstem. No, I had no particular case in mind. I mean twins who are a...

Cojoined twins: two dissociated alters cojoin to one mind?
The corpus callosum connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres and If disconnected, one mind becomes two. So, here the dissociation process is demonstrated. But in cojoined twins, each keeps his or her own personality. They have acces to eachothers memories and inner life, but they act as if t...

Re: woman's brain almost completely deactivates during orgasm = connection to M@l during dissociation process (= sex)?
But the moment of dissociation has to happen somewhere, isn't it? Is it the moment of conception?

woman's brain almost completely deactivates during orgasm = connection to M@l during dissociation process (= sex)?
Maybe the dissociation process happens during man and women having sex. There was a study in the Netherlands that said that the women brain shuts down during orgasm: https://www.smh.com.au/national/most-of-a-womans-brain-just-shuts-down-during-an-orgasm-20050629-gdlld0.html Maybe that's the dissocia...

Re: Bernardo on death experience and fear of death in general.
Even from a materialistic point of view, do not be afraid of non-existence: there can not be nothingness after physical death FOR YOU, because you cannot experience your own non-existence. According to yourself, you can't die, because you are not there if you are death. So, it will be, for a materia...
