        Basically, I encountered a conscious entity, or perhaps multiple, that definitely wasn’t me. I was confronted with two possibilities: either I was communing with some external intelligence, or there was much more than just me inside my head.

        Long story short, I started really dedicating a lot of thought to the problem of consciousness, and found myself with two possible explanations:

        1. Consciousness is an emergent property of complex interconnected systems.

        2. Consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe, which is just particularly sophisticated in complex interconnected systems.

        If 1, it would be silly to assume the universe, as the most complex interconnected system we know of, would not develop some vast alien form of consciousness, which we might as well call “God”. If 2, then the consciousness “field” might as well be called “God”.

      Ayahusca is the only thing that actually shows a bit of whats behind the curtain. Its very anti science since science thinks we are pointless beings in a pointless place. I disagree.

      There is a spiritual battle for our souls and most people seem to be losing it. You really need to be open to other things than science as step one.
