MDMA is for retards.

TL;DR... wtf is this shit, Anex? First you're suicidal/emo and now, you're just high.

lol Anex, what is in the chow food at the Air Force? Cause let me tell you today at the AFB that food looked interestingly yummy.

You should look at the artwork in Tool's CD releases. There is a ton of Third Eye perception, and Jimson weed and DMT has to be something MJK has dabbled on. http://www.toolband.com/album/index.html

However, Jimson weed is the only weed I know that can actually have an overdose affect because of it's toxicity.

This is like, I wonder how Charles Lutwidge Dodgson epilepsy and constant migraines affected the shit he wrote. Like you said DMT is definitely produced in the brain in small quantities. Someone in an epileptic state must feel some strange things.

+1 for bringing up shit that I regretted. Thanks dude. However I have moved past my problems, thanks for asking. Couldn't have done it without you Sin, you cunt.

I'm not high. I found this shit interesting so I wanted to show and discuss. It had to involve principals of religion within a certain small part of our brain that could be a key to something greater within our species.

Well, I was hoping for an interesting conversation about something that I got really excited about learning. But if your going to post that "too long didn't read" shit then don't bother fucking posting. All it shows is that you refused to read what I wrote which is... I don't know being cunts? Really if you don't care, then don't bother replying.

@ Ren, pro-drug? I don't want to get into that because this is not what this is about.

whenever you talk about hallucinogens people will get iffy like ren. simply cause they've 1 never done them before, and thx 2 your federal government they believe them 2 be addicting agents of death.... even though it couldn't be an further from the truth.

Thanks for clarifying.

don't know if this is valid or add anything to your thinking anex.. but this article says that we actually use our whole brain.. and 10% or whatever wierd number you can think up of is actually just a myth..

Hmmm... sorry that was my error. The articles I came across and my reading was saying we only used %10. I didn't bother to check it. But still scientists use computers to analyze brain scans and that determines how much of our brain we are using. Computers are generally known for error in this region since the programmers don't even know the full compacity of the brain to even tell the computer what to look for. Some people say its a myth and some people say its not. Its hard to determine who is actually right. But no one can determine how much of the "functions" we actually use.

However some people, more along the dedicated religious type, have major activity of their frontal lobe while others do not. So that person uses that part of the brain while others do not. Does this mean that everyone uses this part of the brain? Yes, but what matters is "to what extent." So person A could be using the full compacity of the frontal lobe while person B hardly uses it. People use different parts of the brain so, with some of the articles I have read when you suggested it was a myth, said we used %90. But if that were true, then why does everyone use different parts instead of all the same parts with the same amount of %?

There is no way we use %90 of even the full extent of our brain power. With all these chemicals that our entering our systems (IE Flouride), they are actually killing some portions of our brain off or inhibiting them from their proper function. In today's current age, I do not believe people use their maximum brain functions.

Btw welcome back. Been awhile.

@ Loka, interesting, I didn't know that. Can you provide an article?

It still hasn't been proven, but many wonder why infants are stuck in that state of REM sleep for long periods of time than adults are.

There is old articles dating to 1996-2000 that claim REM sleep is not responsible for memory. However, recent studies have disproved those claims. Whether it's more funding to studies or technology has advanced to find these findings.

sorry for DP, but I actually remembered my old Psych professor in my Learning and Behavior class last year that sleep will always aid in memory. Have you ever sleep deprived yourself for 2 days? I have. It's not pretty and normally, you shouldn't do it especially if your wanting to remember things.

Someone in that class did a small study that if you study for a test all night with no sleep so you can remember the information, you only remember the last thing you read and failed. If you study all evening with sufficient sleep (6-8 hours) they did much better on the test.

or... the people with sleep deprivation.. simply don't have enough energy left to focus on the test... was all the variable controlled? how did you record the data? Quantitative observeration? Qualitative observation? ... too many confounding variables usually screw over your psychological experiments.. I would know.. I can't even do the stroop effect experiment without realizing there are atleast one or two variables that simple cannot be controlled..

By the way people that study all night long.. and plans to do major cramming only means that they are born procrastinators.. whereas the people that studied earlier knows how to plan ahead and are most likely the better students.. (remember I am only generalizing) Study materials could also be different per student as well Loka..



Also Anex.. have you seen MRI scans or any brain scans in particular? I noticed that we use a lot more then 10%... but certain brain damages could really mess up your ability to use the full potential of your brain...

Also Anex read up on split personalities, it has some very interesting case studies.. I don't remember the specific case study... but the gist of the case study was this... (for the sake of easier explanation we'll call one of the personality Eva Black and the other personality Eva White)

oh wait.. eva..

eve?

oh shit.. my memory somehow triggered and I magically found the case study O.O

and I'm not really back yet.. happen to stumble on to your post since today is the start of a four day weekend.. and replied to your post because I find it very interesting and not the same old crap like in the other sections
