LSD & DNA -- Francis Crick's Psychedelic Origins of Life

submitted by Trancecoach

8 years 10 months ago

Francis Crick outlined in his book 'Life Itself: Its Origin and Nature' that given how complicated the DNA molecule is, it is wildly unlikely to have just swirled into existence here on earth.

Ever hear of Panspermia? It’s an idea from Nobel Prize winner Francis Crick. He outlined in his book ‘Life Itself: Its Origin and Nature‘ that given how complicated the DNA molecule is, it is wildly unlikely to have just swirled into existence here on earth. That it’s more likely to have been sent from an intelligent alien civilization than it is to have spontaneously occurred.

It wasn’t until later in his life when he admitted that what gave him the very idea of the DNA molecule’s shape resulted from taking LSD and entering a psychedelic altered state. It turned out that his vision from LSD trip was right — the DNA molecule was indeed a double helix. In this clip, which originally played during Alex Grey’s Entheovideo event in 2008, Graham Hancock gives the background and explains how we can now record vast quantities of data on DNA just as we do on hard drives.

What does it mean to think for oneself? How does one become accountable to one's own consciousness? There is more than meets the mind's eye when the beholder is beheld.

Presumably these aliens swirled in to existence from nothing then? Its an interesting theory but without more evidence it raises more questions than it answers.

Um, no. Had you read the links or the book, you'd see that panspermia is more parsimonious than the alternative. That's, in fact, the point.
