Simple as fear. It is not only a wonderful experience it is also very terrifying. Psychedelics, if that is even what it is, have been ostracized by society, for whatever reason, politics, philosophy, culture, people making OSs due to their inspiration since the 60s. DMT was known about back then, but not widely known about, back then it was super rare. Getting the main ingredients would have been a pain and required going to South America.

Now that the ingredients are not difficult to get, thanks to the digital information system, more and more people are seeing what this thing is. And many of them that take enough come back with stories right out of a Phillip K Dick novel, or information that seems so New Agey, frequencies, cymatics, fractals, entities, etc, it is too weird or difficult for people to even want to look at this as something more than a really crazy drug and look into what it is doing to the brain. This has been done to small extents in providing details into which serotonin receptors DMT is affecting. What is clear is that one would have to take HUGE amounts of mushrooms to get to what this state is, if it is even possible. This takes a person there in two seconds then ten minutes, you are back. How is it possible?

By all means, I would LOVE for this to be studied by science ; then the Singularity would be right around the corner, mann...JK.

It's funny, I've been on a sci-fi kick lately myself. Bought and watched Blade Runner again, then read Phillip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", now I'm reading Dick's "The Man in the High Castle". Really looking forward to this film.

you also might want to read up on the supreme court rulings regarding the 14th amendment, specifically the US vs Wong Kim Ark:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Wong_Kim_Ark

What did the supreme court rule you might ask?

"A child born in the United States to foreign parents who are subject to U.S. jurisdiction automatically becomes a U.S. citizen."

And again, as you quoted
"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." -Phillip K. Dick

Get ur head out of ur ass.

Sorry Dag, I saw no evidence of "xenophobia", only disdain of Obamunism.
The birth certificate?
"Obama has NOT provided a certified copy of an original, typed, vault copy, long-form, birth certificate, signed by his mother and delivering doctor with the name of the hospital thereon, to be used to conclusively prove one of the two key elements used in determining his "natural born" citizenship status per the U.S. Constitution, i.e., where he was born.
Obama's Kenyan father was never a U.S. citizen. Thus, Obama is not a "natural born" citizen. When Obama was born he was not a "natural born citizen" since both parents of a child must be citizens at the time of birth of the child in order for the child to be a "natural born" citizen, in addition to the requirement that the child must be born in the USA."

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." -Phillip K. Dick

Right that's why we're in an economic crisis...not because of the past absolutely-for-sure American born citizen of a president.

You're missing the spirit of the law...and the point altogether.

currently reading "WHat's Going On In There?" which is a book about neuro-development from prenatal to 5 years.

REcently finished the entire Preacher series (I trade graphic novels with friends and in return for Preacher I am making two new 100 Bullets fans) and before that was... "Son of a Witch" - the sequel to "Wicked" which wasn't bad, but not as good as I hoped.

About to dive into a Stephen Brust series. Also have a Phillip K Dick I neglected to read while in the hospital. Need to get the latest "Fell" and "DNZ" in th series. I am a graphic novel FANATIC.

Doc_m I recommend Ursula K Leguin. The best there ever was in fantasy.

Head in the sand??? Damn perception is such a pain in the ass.....so is linear thinking, Adolf......

We have a shining example of hope in qm, and Herr Theo would fire up the camps, and order some Cyclon-B for his private party-I have a wonderful reading suggestion fors ya T, "Eye in the Sky"-Phillip K. Dick

A short fictional romp, into six different worlds, seen through the eyes of six individuals who experience those worlds daily, yet on this particular day, they all get a taste of each others-Not too pretty, but very enlightening-

God I feel like a Bible verse is in order, one of my favorites, from a book I wish more Americans would goddamn read, so they can get a sense of their own fucking culture-

Luke 19:27

"But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me."

King James Version

I have a bunch of videos with interviews with Phillip K. Dick and what influenced his work. I will try to get those up. Really fascinating life he led.

I hope the new release of the Blade Runner - Director's Cut happens soon. The version that is out on DVD now is lacking in any special features let alone alternative cuts of the movie (with and without narration and extra scenes).

The original Blade Runner had a crappy voice over by Ford, which he also hated doing and hoped would be left out. The altered version does away with the narration, adds the unicorn scene during the piano squence which only adds more mystery to whether Deckard was a replicant or not.
