Hello everyone. My name is Bill Withers. I am a petroleum geologist specializing in Oilsands exploration. I am also very interested in physics and chemistry and existentialism. Looking forward to trading ideas and opinions.

I think people that believe in religion are more scared than broken because they don't know how the world really works they blindly follow this Pre-existing cult like framework provided by religion. I believe in god but not in the sense that organized religions do. I think that religious people are sad. It seems that many broken people do seem to seek out religion to "fix" their lives.

It seems to me that it is rather convenient to discount the LSD experienced users point of view by saying "You were intoxicated therefore it dosn't count". It seem like he's had a very compelling experience that lead him to that theory. I'm backing that justification due to my own personal experiences. While it has been many years since I was able/willing to use my body and mind as a exotential testing ground, I too had very similar experiences with psychotropic substances. I can vividly remember specific "trips" where I could feel that same linked consciousness. I can already hear the backlash that this will bring but I have shared the same concious space with another individual while on LSD. For a prolonged period of time we could hear each others thoughts. This led me to a great deal of research into whether other LSD'ers have had the same experiences. I found that this is actually a regularly reported phenomenon. I don't use these sorts of drugs anymore as I have a family and all the responsibilities that go along with that. In the years after I got into meditation. After years of practice, I have learned to go deep inside of myself and have had very similar experiences to those I used to have with LSD/DMT/"magic" mushrooms. Those same ideals of I am the universe and you are too I still hold as the true nature of our lives. Now that I can knock out the I was high so it dosnt count counterpoint, what do you say then?
