ello,
My name is Nathan and am new to the forum - I noticed a thread that you posted a while back in relation to Terrence Mckenna's take on the UFO/alien experience and that is something that has interested me recently.
Terrence Mckenna's take on DMT has facinated me since I "stumbled" across some of his talks on youtube. What struck a chord with me was how he described the mind as a 4th dimensional organ. To think that the mind could be seen as an organ that is literally from the next dimension makes perfect sense. We cannot see thought/mind, therefore it has to be a feed from something multi dimensional, surely?
Rick Strassman who conducted DMT experiments on volenteers also suggests links between the Pineal Gland (that produces DMT that Mckenna suggests harnesses our consciousness into the next dimension where entities and landscapes roam). The Pineal gland as you well know is in the centre of our brains.
Strassman links the Pineal Gland with the acient teachings of the Buddists "Book Of The Dead". Buddists believe that after death the reincarnated spirit takes 49 days to prepare itself (in the 4th dimension?) for the next life experience into another living person....
It just so happens that it is exactly 49 days that foetus in the womb develps the Pineal gland and it is also 49 days in which the sex of the unborn child is determined.
interesting
