it's a really interesting story

i'd say i'm an above-average swimmer, i used to compete in high school

Now you can blaze it up and smoke that herb just like any other day!

I would not smoke this much herb on any other day

Have a dank and happy 4/20 for those who are celebrating

For everyone else, have a good Monday <3

Also pornhub. Kek. Who even uses that site?

hey what do you have against pornhub?

There's nothing like a corn-fed, prime aged Filet Mignon with a side au gratin potatoes.

but corn-fed beef is gross

I think the long-lasting conspiracy that fluoride is secretly poisoning your brain and making you compliant is one of the best

I was kinda interested until I saw the words "nerve bundles". There are no nerves in the brain, which is why they do brain surgery on people who're awake. You can't feel it being touched.
Pseudo-science is silly.

yeah that bit kinda confused me too, but I don't think that discredits everything else discussed in the article

Too late, m8

Mordo posted this earlier today. Still think it's a kickass trailer though

apparently scientists hypothesize that this gland is responsible for our sentience and perception of time. If this is truly the case...there is still so much about the world around us that we don't know about.

It makes me wonder if that's why some people are very punctual and others, like myself, cannot keep track of time no matter how hard they try. The pineal gland is also thought to be responsible for gifted sight meaning you can see into the spirit realm, and even a link into other dimensions.

Here's a cool article I found on that:
http://in5d.com/pineal-gland-portal-of-higher-dimensions/

i especially like how the article mentions Tibetan Buddhists and how they believe that it takes 49 days for a deceased soul to find a new home, yet on the 49th day of prenatal development, the pineal gland is formed.

This is some real thought-provoking shit, that's for sure

It's romantic really. It just begs the question what is reality truly? If we can live an eternity at the moment of death because of a chemical reaction within our brain then what are we actually experiencing now?

meh

put that mirror down

I really did learn something new today

We now know what happens at death:

Resting comfortably in the recessed center of your brain, encased snugly within the corpus colossum, wrapped tightly between the dual-hemispheres of spongy nerve bundles, encased in the quarter-inch-thick armor-plating of skull, finally surrounded by your main and expressive organs with which you face the world, exists a tiny gland, long considered vestigial (serving little to no function), that holds the key to our interpretation of existence as we know it.  I’m speaking of the pineal gland. This minute spec, roughly the size of a grain of rice, is more heavily protected than even the heart with its literal cage of protection, because if something happens to your heart you die, but if something happens to your pineal, you can’t go to heaven.

Never heard of it?

This pineal gland has influences on both melatonin and pinoline, but our interest is in the gland’s role in the creation of dimethyltriptamine, or DMT. This chemical, DMT, may well be the reason we, as a species, are capable of sentience itself.

I’m not a chemist; break it down.

First, DMT is a narcotic, schedule 1. It’s scheduled as a highly illegal substance all over the planet, largely because DMT is one of the most potent psychedelics known to man. Intensely powerful. Yet, every day your pineal produces this stuff.

Secondly, DMT is the chemical that elicits dreams. That’s right. Each night as you drift to slumber-land, not only are you tripping on a psychedelic, but you’re also premeditatedly committing a federal offence; possession or consumption of DMT could land you a felony charge.

And third, this illegal gateway to dreamland is released in massive amounts at the moment of death. When I say massive, if a water glass of DMT evokes a dream, at death, an equivalent river excretes into your system. Any druggies reading this?

How have I not heard of this before?

Well, the pineal’s significance is neither a new idea, nor an unfounded one. Spanning the expanse of human civilization runs an undercurrent of worshipful adoration to the almighty pineal, more widely known as the inner eye, all-seeing eye, or the like – considered the body’s gateway to the soul.

Egypt had its Eye of Horus (now emblazoned on the US dollar bill). Hindu culture has its bottu (the familiar forehead dot). Even the ancient art of yoga recognizes the brow chakra, or ajna, as blossoming at the pineal, or third eye. That’s only to name a few.

The hell you say! The truth behind the cult of the pineal has gone largely unnoticed collectively, though the symbols themselves have been downright ubiquitous. Tibetan Buddhists, as well, have long carried a belief that the soul enters the fetus precisely 49 days after conception. Likely, reading this, you are not a Tibetan Buddhist – their numbers fall less than 20 million – and whether you subscribe to an eternal soul or not isn’t the point, because day 49 is the moment the pineal is formed in a fledgling brain.

Great, so what does all this have to do with death?

Well, on an experiential  level, shrooms distort perception, coke smacks you with raw energy, ecstasy grants superpower orgasms (ladies), and most notably, weed slows time – time distortion seems to go hand in hand with most psychedelics as well – so time passage then is totally subjective. Ask Einstein.

Meanwhile, among DMT smokers, out of the macrocosm of potential experiences, two major themes emerge nearly universally:

1) A stretching of time – they experience the hectic 6 or 7 minutes as a near eternity or lifetime. Imagine Cobb’s 50 year night in Inception.

2) They experience religious incarnations with a tilt toward whatever sect the subject is affiliated with.

Here’s the clincher: after death, while this massive psychedelic dose courses through the brain, there is this mysterious several minutes where the brain still functions. With our new perspective, however, we at last understand what these minutes are…

These few minutes after death, subjectively, are experienced as an eternity, engrossed in the DMT universe. Also, the trip itself is a highly personal experience dictated by the deepest realms of the subconscious.

Therefore, whatever at your deepest core you expect to happen when you die… Congratulations, that’s what’ll happen… Every religion was right.

Mystery solved. Peace on earth.

If you’re resourceful, you can find this stuff and try it. The bigger question now is: do you really want to know where you’ll be spending eternity?

Is this new information for anyone else? Honestly I find this amazing. Who would've thought that near-death experiences were simply creations of people naturally tripping balls on their body's own DMT. Sorry, straight-edgers, you can't just say no to this drug.

Discuss this interesting shit

Dude, fuck prom

The real fun begins when you go to an after party. I hosted one at my house and it's still one of the most fun times I've ever had.

I didn't even get my dick wet that night but I still had a fucking awesome time.

incinerate yourself, kike
